Rule 410.
(1) The
				  purpose of this part is to establish rules under the act for all municipal
				  solid waste landfill units. Municipal solid waste landfills shall generally be
				  referred to as type II landfills for purposes of this part. These rules ensure
				  the protection of human health and the environment.
(2) The rules of this part apply to owners
				  and operators of new type II landfill units, existing type II landfill units
				  and lateral extensions of existing units, and preexisting type II landfill
				  units, except as otherwise specifically provided in this part. All other solid
				  waste disposal areas and practices that are not regulated under part 111 of
				  this act are subject to the rules contained in parts 1, 3, and 5 of these
				  rules.
(3) The rules of this part
				  do not apply to type II landfill units which have not been issued a
				  construction permit or operating license under the act and which did not
				  receive waste after October 9, 1991.
(4) Type II landfill units which received
				  waste after October 9, 1991, but which stopped receiving waste before October
				  9, 1993, are exempt from all of the design requirements of this part, except
				  the final cover requirement specified in R 299.4425. The final cover shall be
				  installed within 6 months of the last receipt of wastes. An owner or operator
				  of a type II landfill unit described in this subrule who fails to complete
				  cover installation within the 6-month period shall be subject to all of the
				  requirements of this part, unless otherwise specified.
(5) All type II landfill units that receive
				  waste on or after October 9, 1993, shall be in compliance with all of the
				  requirements of this part unless otherwise specified.
(6) An Owner or operator of A new type II
				  landfill unit, existing type II landfill unit, or lateral extension of an
				  existing unit that disposes of less than 20 tons of municipal solid waste
				  daily, based on an annual average, is exempt from the design requirements of
				  this part if there is no evidence of existing groundwater contamination from
				  the type II landfill unit or lateral expansion if the type II landfill unit
				  serves a community that experiences an annual interruption of not less than 3
				  consecutive months of surface transportation that prevents access to a regional
				  waste management facility and if both of the following conditions are met:
(a) The owner or operator of a new type II
				  landfill unit, existing type II landfill unit, or lateral extension of an
				  existing unit that meets the criteria shall demonstrate to the director that
				  the criteria have been met and shall place documentation in the operating
				  record that evidences compliance with the criteria.
(b) The owner or operator of a new unit,
				  existing unit, or lateral extension of an existing unit comply with the design
				  requirements for type III landfills specified in R 299.4307.
