Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-701.340 - General Criteria for Landfills
(1)
Performance standards. A landfill shall be designed, constructed, operated,
maintained, closed, and monitored throughout its design period to control the
movement of waste and waste constituents into the environment so that water
quality standards and criteria and air quality standards will not be
violated.
(2) Classification of
landfills. Landfills or solid waste disposal units are classified according to
the types of waste received.
(a) Class I
landfills are those which receive Class I waste.
(b) Class III landfills are those which
receive only Class III waste. The Department shall exempt Class III landfills
from some or all of the requirements for liners, leachate controls, and water
quality monitoring in subsections
62-701.400(3) and
(4), and rule
62-701.510, F.A.C., if the
applicant demonstrates that no significant threat to the environment will
result from the exemption based upon the types of waste received, methods for
controlling types of waste disposed of, and the results of the hydrogeological
and geotechnical investigations required in rule
62-701.410, F.A.C. Such a
demonstration must include a CCA treated wood management plan as described in
subsection 62-701.730(20),
F.A.C., if the landfill will not have a constructed liner
system.
(3) Location
requirements.
(a) The site shall provide
structural support for the facility including total wastes to be disposed of
and structures to be built on the site.
(b) A landfill or solid waste disposal unit
shall not be located in the 100-year floodplain where it will restrict the flow
of the 100-year flood, reduce the temporary water storage capacity of the
floodplain unless compensating storage is provided, or result in a washout of
solid waste.
(c) The minimum
horizontal separation between waste deposits in a landfill and the landfill
property boundary shall be 100 feet, measured from the toe of the proposed
final cover slope.
