				  cross-sections and details sheets shall utilize the existing conditions sheet
				  as a base map. For complex plans, existing conditions within the landfill area
				  may be shown by lighter lines or may be eliminated.
(1) TITLE SHEET. A title sheet shall be
				included indicating the project title, who prepared the plans, the date the
				plans were prepared, the applicant for whom the plans were prepared, a table of
				contents, a map showing the location of the facility within the county or
				multicounty area, the location of the county or multicounty area within the
				state and the area to be served.
(2) EXISTING CONDITIONS. An existing
				conditions plan shall be included consisting of a detailed topographic map of
				the proposed facility landfill and all areas within 1,500 feet of the proposed
				limits of filling prior to development. The minimum scale shall be 1" = 200
				feet with a maximum 2 foot contour interval. The contour interval selected
				shall be sufficiently small to clearly show surface water flow patterns within
				and around the landfill. All elevations shall be related to USGS datum. The
				plan shall identify and define the following:
(a) Surface waters including intermittent and
				ephemeral streams and wetlands.
(b)
				Property boundaries, the proposed landfill boundary, and the proposed limits of
				filling.
(c) A north arrow,
				landfill survey grid, a formula for converting grid locations to the state
				plane coordinate system, and the locations of all existing and proposed survey
				monuments.

				existing and abandoned groundwater monitoring wells, and all public and private
				water supply wells, and the general locations of all known septic system drain
				fields within 1,000 feet of the landfill area or within 500 feet of any
				monitoring well.

				  or which are required by order or approval to develop a closure plan, as
				  remediation for groundwater or surface water contamination, or to control gas
				  migration. Closure plans shall present the complete plans and engineering
				  analysis necessary for evaluation of the design, remaining operation,
				  monitoring, closure and post closure care of the facility. These closure plans
				  shall address all the requirements of s.

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) APPLICABILITY.
(a) If an expedited plan modification is
				requested by an owner or operator, this section applies to all proposals that
				can be determined by the department to be low risk to modify provisions in
				approved plans of operation, except those identified in par. (b), that would
				not result in a violation of a statute or administrative rule, and would not
				require issuance of an exemption by the department. Modifications to which this
				section applies include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Revisions to surface water control
				systems.
2. Use of an alternate
				borrow source, other than for landfill liner material, following the
				department's performance of an initial site inspection of the borrow
				source.
3. Soil daily
				cover.
4. Use of foundry sand,
				bottom ash or papermill sludge for alternate daily cover material. Also, if
				soil daily cover will be placed at the end of each operating week, use of
				tarps, geotextiles, spray-on foams and similar alternate daily cover
				materials.
5. Access roads within a
				landfill.
6. Waste filling or
				closure sequence, if the unclosed area of the landfill would not be increased
				at any point in the landfill's remaining operational life relative to the
				existing approved plan.
7. Minor
				changes in design and material substitutions for gas extraction systems or
				leachate head wells, that do not include changes to the gas flare design, and
				do not include a reduced number of gas extraction wells or leachate head wells
				within a particular phase of the landfill. Also, replacement of damaged or
				nonfunctional features of gas extraction systems or leachate head wells that do
				not involve significant changes in design, location or materials of
				construction.
8. Installation,
				abandonment or sampling of groundwater, gas or leachate monitoring devices not
				required in the existing approved plan.
9. Environmental sampling methods.
10. Except as provided under par. (b), other
				modifications determined by the department to pose low potential risk of
				adverse impacts on public health or the environment.
Note:
No approvals are necessary when a landfill
				  owner initiates a contaminant investigation or assessment monitoring according
				  to chs. NR 507 and 508. However, if an alternate assessment plan is proposed
				  under s. NR 508.05 (2), the landfill owner must request an approval under that
				  section.
