053-5 Wyo. Code R. § 77.215 - Refuse piles; construction requirements
(a) Refuse
deposited on a pile shall be spread in layers and compacted in such a manner so
as to minimize the flow of air through the pile.
(b) Refuse shall not be deposited on a
burning pile except for the purpose of controlling or extinguishing a
fire.
(c)Clay or other sealants
shall be used to seal the surface of any refuse pile in which a spontaneous
ignition has occurred.

seals shall be kept intact and protected from erosion by drainage
facilities.
(e)Refuse piles shall
not be constructed so as to impede drainage or impound water.
(f)Refuse piles shall be constructed in such
a manner as to prevent accidental sliding and shifting of materials.
(g)No extraneous combustible material shall
be deposited on refuse piles.
(h)
After October 31, 1975 new refuse piles and additions to existing refuse piles,
shall be constructed in compacted layers not exceeding 2 feet in thickness and
shall not have any slope exceeding 2 horizontal to 1 vertical (approximately 27
) except that the District Manager may approve construction of a refuse pile in
compacted layers exceeding 2 feet in thickness and with slopes exceeding 27
where engineering data substantiates that a minimum safety factor of 1.5 for
the refuse pile will be attained.
(i) Foundations for new refuse piles and
additions to existing refuse piles shall be cleared of all vegetation and
undesirable material that according to current, prudent engineering practices
would adversely affect the stability of the refuse pile.
(j) All fires in refuse piles shall be
extinguished, and the method used shall be in accordance with a plan approved
by the District Manager. The plan shall contain as a minimum, provisions to
ensure that only those persons authorized by the operator, and who have an
