A daily cover placed over the waste at the close of the day’s operations, andb. A final cover, or cap, which is the material placed over the completed landfillto control infiltration of water, gas emission to the atmosphere, and erosion.6. Closure Procedure – with the objectives of establishing low maintenance coversystems and final cover that minimizes the infiltration of precipitation into the waste.Installation of the final cover must be completed within six (6) months of the lastreceipt of wastes; and7. Post-closure procedure – During this period, the landfill owner shall be responsiblefor providing for the general upkeep of the landfill, maintaining all of the landfill’senvironmental protection features, operating monitoring equipment, remediatinggroundwater should it become contaminated and controlling landfill gas migration oremission.SECTION 60. Operating Criteria for Sanitary Landfills. ng>Theng> following are theminimum operating requirements for landfill site operators:a. Disposal site records of, but not limited to:1.
