- Requires inert waste landfill operators to meet seven operational standards, including: maintaining a 100-foot setback from property lines and structures, compacting waste in layers with at least one foot of clean earth cover monthly, controlling site drainage and erosion, restricting access to authorized entrances, providing fire prevention measures, and applying a final cover of at least two feet plus vegetative cover within one month of final waste placement
- Mandates that operators notify the director of final landfill closure within 30 days of receiving the last load of waste, along with any additional reporting the director may require
