an implementation schedule;
b.
Information on site conditions and characterization of the waste received
during the life of the facility;
c.
A description of the sampling plan utilized to sample background soil beneath
the site following closure;
d. A
description of plans for use of the land site after closure;
e. A description of post-closure
care.
7. An affidavit
that the proposed facility is in compliance with local zoning requirements in
effect at the time the application is submitted.
D. Following completion of construction of a
facility and prior to placement of PCS on the site, the owner or operator shall
submit to the Department a construction certification report, including
as-built plans which indicate any changes to the design or operational plans
for the facility.
E. Plans required
in accordance with this Section shall be sealed by a professional engineer
registered in the state of Arizona, if required by statute.
F. A facility shall be in compliance with all
