				necessary to close the facility, the specific proposed closure activities, and
				an implementation schedule;
b.
				Information on site conditions and characterization of the waste received
				during the life of the facility;
c.
				A description of the sampling plan utilized to sample background soil beneath
				the site following closure;
d. A
				description of plans for use of the land site after closure;
e. A description of post-closure
				care.
7. An affidavit
				that the proposed facility is in compliance with local zoning requirements in
