Section 62-701.610 - Other Closure Procedures(1) Use of closed solid waste disposal facilities. Closed solid waste disposal facilities, if disturbed, are a potential hazard to public health, ground water and the environment. The Department retains regulatory control over any activities that may affect the integrity of the environmental protection measures such as the cover, drainage, liners, monitoring systems, or leachate and stormwater controls. Consultation with the Department is required prior to conducting activities at the closed solid waste disposal facilities.(2) Relocation of waste. The owner of a closed landfill must request permission from the Department to move waste from one point to another within the footprint of the same solid waste disposal unit. If the landfill has a valid closure permit, the permittee shall seek a modification to reflect the relocation of waste. The Department shall approve such a request upon a demonstration that:(a) The activity will not cause or contribute to any violations of water quality standards or criteria, and will not adversely affect the closure design of the landfill;(b) Any leachate, stormwater runoff, or gas that is generated by the activity is controlled onsite;(c) Any hazardous waste that is generated by the activity will be managed in accordance with chapter 62-730, F.A.C.;(d) Immediately after the activity is completed, the landfill will be covered, vegetated, and graded to comply with the closure requirements that apply to that landfill, which shall include a final cover of at least two feet of soil; and,(e) The appropriate District Office of the Department is notified at least seven days before the activity takes place in order to have the opportunity to inspect the site.Fla.
