a) No part
of a unit may be located within a setback zone established pursuant to Section
14.2
or 14.3 of the Act;
b) No part of a
unit may be located within the recharge zone or within 366 meters (1200 feet),
vertically or horizontally, of a sole-source aquifer designated by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to section 1424(e) of the Safe
Drinking Water Act (
42
USC
300f et seq.), unless there is a stratum
between the bottom of the waste disposal unit and the top of the aquifer that
meets the following minimum requirements:
1)
The stratum has a minimum thickness of 15.2 meters (50 feet);
2) The maximum hydraulic conductivity in both
the horizontal and vertical directions is no greater than
1x10-7 centimeters per second, as determined by in
situ borehole or equivalent tests;
3) There is no indication of continuous sand
or silt seams, faults, fractures, or cracks within the stratum that may provide
paths for migration; and
4) Age
dating of extracted water samples from both the aquifer and the stratum
indicates that the time of travel for water percolating downward through the
relatively impermeable stratum is no faster than 15.2 meters (50 feet) in 100
years.
c) A facility
located within 152 meters (500 feet) of the right of way of a township or
county road or state or interstate highway must have its operations screened
from view by a barrier of natural objects, fences, barricades, or plants no
less than 2.44 meters (eight feet) in height.
d) No part of a unit may be located closer
than 152 meters (500 feet) from an occupied dwelling, school, or hospital that
was occupied on the date when the operator first applied for a permit to
develop the unit or the facility containing the unit, unless the owner of such
dwelling, school, or hospital provides permission to the operator, in writing,
for a closer distance.
e) The
facility may not be located closer than 1525 meters (5000 feet) of any runway
used by piston type aircraft or within 3050 meters (10,000 feet) of any runway
used by turbojet aircraft unless the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
provides the operator with written permission, including technical
justification, for a closer distance.
f) An owner or operator proposing to locate a
new MSWLF unit within a five-mile radius of any airport runway used by turbojet
or piston-type aircraft must notify the affected airport and the FAA within
seven days after filing a permit application with Agency in accordance with 35
Ill. Adm. Code
813 for developing a new landfill.
