Rule 304.
(1) The
				  owner and operator of a type III landfill unit shall install a final cover
				  system which is designed to minimize erosion and infiltration to the extent
				  necessary to protect the public health and the environment.
(2) If methane or other decomposition gases
				  will be generated within a type III landfill, the owner and operator shall
				  design and employ a means of ensuring that gases cannot travel laterally from
				  the site or accumulate in structures.
(3) The owner and operator of a type III
				  landfill shall grade portions of the landfill that have received final cover so
				  as to prevent storm water runoff from entering the active portion.

				  completed fill surfaces, the grading contours shall tend to forestall
				  development of local depressions due to post-construction settlement. Slopes of
				  the final cover shall not exceed 1 vertical on 4 horizontal or as necessary to
				  permit the establishment of vegetative cover. The final slope for a type III
				  landfill that is a new disposal area shall not be less than 2%, unless the
				  director approves a final cover that is not designed to minimize infiltration,
				  as provided in subrule (7) of this rule, or otherwise approves a variance under
				  R 299.4108.
(6) Except as provided
				  in subrule (7) of this rule, final cover for type III landfills shall be
				  comprised of an erosion layer underlain by an infiltration layer, as follows:
(a) The infiltration layer shall be comprised
				  of 1 of the following:
(i) A minimum of 2 feet
				  of compacted soil that is in compliance with R 299.4913. For new disposal
				  areas, the compacted soil shall also be protected by at least 2 feet of
				  additional soil.
(ii) A flexible
				  membrane liner that is in compliance with R 299.4915.when properly sloped and
				  protected by at least 2 feet of soil.
(iii) An approved alternative material, when
				  properly sloped and protected, if equivalent protection is provided.
