The area where the wastes are deposited shall immediately be cordoned off from public access. If the generator or hauler cannot be identified, the facility operator shall assure the cleanup, transportation, and disposal of the waste at a permitted hazardous waste management facility.
    (k) The owner or operator shall make arrangements or shall have equipment for temporary storage, handling and transport to an authorized disposal or recycling facility for solid waste, other than construction and demolition debris, that is inadvertently accepted by the facility. Such solid waste that is accepted by the facility shall be segregated and disposed of in accordance with chapter 62-701, F.A.C. Unless an alternate schedule is included in an operation plan submitted with the permit application, which provides for the control of odors and vectors, putrescible waste shall not be stored for longer than 48 hours and non-putrescrible waste shall not be stored for longer than 30 days. Any hazardous waste that is received by the facility shall be managed in accordance with the provisions of chapter 62-730, F.A.C.
    (l) If a disposal unit is constructed with a liner and leachate collection system, the first layer of waste placed above the liner shall be a minimum of four feet in compacted thickness and consist of selected wastes containing no large rigid objects that may damage the liner or leachate collection system.
    (8) Water quality monitoring. A water quality monitoring plan that meets the criteria set forth in rule 62-701.510 and chapter 62-520, F.A.C., shall be included with the permit application. This plan shall be implemented and maintained by the owner or operator, and shall include provisions to provide the reports required by subsection 62-701.510(8), F.A.C., with the following exceptions:
    (a) Unless a disposal unit is constructed or operated within 200 feet of a surface water body, or unless site-specific conditions could reasonably be expected to result in contaminants entering a surface water body, surface water sampling is not required. For purposes of this paragraph, a surface water body does not include a body of water contained completely within the property boundaries of the disposal site that does not discharge from the site to surface waters.
    (b) The well spacing requirements of subFl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.510(3)(d)3., do not apply. A minimum of one upgradient and two downgradient wells is required, as specified in chapter 62-520, F.A.C.

    (d) Background water quality shall be established in accordance with the provisions of Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.510(5)(b), except that the analysis shall also include sulfate and aluminum. In addition, all background and detection wells shall be sampled and analyzed at least once every five years for those parameters listed in Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.510(7)(a), as well as sulface and aluminum.
    (e) The owner or operator of the facility may request a permit modification from the appropriate District Office of the Department to delete specific laboratory parameters or field parameters from routine analyses of detection or compliance wells and surface water. The Department will grant a request for a permit modification upon a demonstration that these parameters are not reasonably expected to be in or derived from the waste which ws received or disposed of at the facility.
    (f) If monitoring parameters are detected in monitoring wells in concentrations which are significantly above background water quality, or which are at levels above the Department’s water quality standards or criteria specified in chapter 62-520, F.A.C., the provisions of subsection 62-701.510(6), F.A.C., shall apply.
    (9) Closure.
    (a) At least 90 days prior to the date when wastes will no longer be accepted, the owner or operator of the construction and demolition debris disposal facility shall submit an updated closure plan to the Department to reflect any changes in the closure plan due to actual operational conditions at the facility. If unforeseen circumstances do not allow the notification within 90 days prior to ceasing to receive wastes, then notice shall be provided as soon as the need to close the facility becomes apparent. The updated and approved closure plan shall be incorporated into and made part of the permit.
    (b) Final cover and seeding or planting of vegetative cover shall be placed on each disposal unit within 180 days after it has reached its final grade or ceased receiving wastes. Final cover shall consist of a 24-inch-thick soil layer, or a 30-inch thick layer consisting of approximately 50 percent soil and 50 percent ground or chipped yard trash by volume, the upper six inches of which shall be capable of supporting vegetation, and shall be graded and compacted as necessary to eliminate ponding, promote drainage, and minimize erosion. If any disposal unit has been constructed with a liner system, the final cover must include a barrier layer with a permeability that is substantially equivalent to, or less than, the permeability of the bottom liner system or meets the alternative barrier layer design requirements in subFl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.600(3)(g)6. The side slopes of all above-grade disposal units shall be no greater than three feet horizontal to one foot vertical rise. If the disposal unit is lined, the closure design shall include a barrier layer or other measures to ensure that the design leachate head over the liner is not exceeded after closure. The final cover shall be vegetated to control erosion. Disposal units that are aboveground shall be designed to control the flow of stormwater, such as building reverse sloping benches or terraces into the side slopes of the disposal units and shall contain down slope drainage ways with water flow energy dissipaters unless reasonable assurance is provided that adequate erosion control will be achieved in the absence of such measures.
    (c) Any disposal unit designed with a geomembrane as part of the barrier layer shall have a gas management system installed during closure that is designed to reduce gas pressure in the interior of the disposal unit and to prevent failure of the final cover. The gas management system may be active or passive. An active system shall be designed and operated in a manner that prevents intrusion of ambient air into the disposal unit.
    (d) Placement of final cover may be delayed if additional waste will be deposited on the disposal unit within five years, but only if the disposal unit is temporarily closed in accordance with an approved closure plan. Conditions of temporary closure shall include:
    1. The disposal unit was constructed in compliance with its permit conditions,
    2. A schedule for temporary and final closure is shown in the closure plan,
    3. Final cover is installed on side slopes of each completed disposal unit which will not receive additional waste,
    4. Odors and runoff are controlled,
    5. The closure cost estimate takes into account the costs of temporary closure as well as the costs of the final closure; and,
    6. An intermediate cover is installed on the disposal unit within 30 days after the unit stops accepting waste. The intermediate cover may be removed before placing additional waste or installing final cover.
    (e) The owner or operator shall provide a certification of closure construction completion to the Department within 30 days after closing, covering, and seeding the disposal unit. The owner or operator shall also provide a final survey report done by a professional surveyor, in accordance with Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.600(6)(b), if disposal operations have raised the final elevations higher than 20 feet above the natural land surface.
    (f) Upon receipt and approval of the documents required in paragraph (d), of this subsection, the Department shall, within 30 days, acknowledge by letter that notice of termination of operations and closing of the facility has been received. The date of this letter shall be the official date of closing for the purpose of determining the long-term care period, in accordance with subsection 62-701.600(8), F.A.C.
    (g) Declaration to the public. After closing operations are approved by the Department, the facility owner or operator shall file a declaration to the public in the deed records in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the facility is located. The declaration shall include a legal description of the property on which the facility is located and a site plan specifying the area actually filled with construction and demolition debris. The declaration shall also include a notice that any future owner or user of the site should consult with the Department prior to planning or initiating any activity involving the disturbance of the facility’s cover, monitoring system or other control structures. A certified copy of the declaration shall be filed with the Department.
    (10) Long-term care. The owner or operator of the construction and demolition debris disposal facility shall continue to monitor and maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the final cover as well as other appurtenances of the facility, control erosion, fill subsidences, control objectionable odors, implement an odor remedication plan that meets the requirements of Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.530(3)(b), if required, and comply with the water quality monitoring plan for five years from the date of closing. Before the expiration of the long-term care monitoring and maintenance period, the Department may extend the time period if the water quality monitoring system indicates that the facility continues to impact water quality at concentrations which may be expected to result in violations of Department water quality standards or criteria; if site-specific conditions make it likely that any contamination that may emanate from the disposal area would not be detected within the long-term care period; if the final cover does not have well established vegetation or is showing signs of continuing significant erosion problems; or if the permittee has not performed all required monitoring or maintenance.
    (11) Financial assurance.
    (a) Closure cost estimates, estimate updates and financial mechanisms shall comply with the provisions of subsections 62-701.630(1) through (4), F.A.C., except that the cost of long-term care shall be based upon a five-year period, and the costs shall be based upon compliance with this section. Landfill shall mean facility.
    (b) If a local government requires financial assurance for closure, which is at least as stringent as that required by this rule, the Department will attempt to establish a cooperative mechanism with the local government and thereby avoid duplicative financial requirements.
    (c) Owners or operators of facilities that are required to undertake a corrective action program in accordance with Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.730(8)(f), shall submit proof of financial assurance to the Department in accordance with subsections 62-701.630(7), (8) and (9), F.A.C., no later than 120 days after the corrective action remedy has been selected.
    (d) If long-term care is extended because the permittee has failed to perform all required monitoring and maintenance, during the long-term care period, financial assurance shall continue to be required during the extended long-term care. If the long-term care is extended for any other reason, financial assurance is not required during the extended long-term care period, except as may be required in paragraph (c), of this subsection.
    (12) Annual Reports. The owner or operator of the facility shall submit an annual report to the Department on Form 62-701.900(7). This report shall include a summary of the amounts and types of wastes disposed of or recycled. The county of origin of materials that are recycled, or a statement that the county of origin is unknown, shall be included in the report. The report shall be submitted no later than February 1 of each year and shall cover the preceding calendar year.
    (13) Recycling.
    (a) The owner or operator of a facility that accepts construction and demolition debris for disposal and that also recovers materials from the construction and demolition debris waste stream for purposes of recycling shall meet the requirements of this section as well as the requirements of Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.710 If there is a conflict between this section and Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.710, this section shall govern. It is not necessary for the owner or operator to apply for a separate permit as a waste processing facility or to pay an additional fee.
    (b) The owner or operator of a facility that recovers materials from the construction and demolition debris waste stream for purposes of recycling but that does not dispose of any wastes on-site shall apply for a permit on Form 62-701.900(4), and shall comply with the provisions of Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.710
    (c) In order to reuse recovered screened material other than clean debris from the construction and demolition debris waste stream, an owner or operator shall demonstrate that this material will be managed and reused in a manner that will pose no significant threat to public health or the environment. In making this demonstration, the owner or operator may consider background levels of receiving soils, whether the material will be blended with other materials, and the likelihood that the material may have unlimited distribution or come into direct contact with the public. Examples of management practices which would not require analysis for health-based criteria include permanent encapsulation, use as initial or intermediate cover or subsurface construction at a permitted landfill, or use under at least two feet of clean cover material.
    (d) Metal, paper, glass, plastic, textile, or rubber materials that have been diverted and source separated or have been removed from the construction and demolition debris waste stream for sale, use, or reuse as raw materials may be managed as recovered materials. Other materials that have been diverted and source separated or have been removed from the construction and demolition debris waste stream may be sold, used, or reused as raw materials upon a demonstration that the material will pose no significant threat to public health or the environment.
    (e) The owner or operator of any permitted materials recovery or disposal facility that accepts dedicated loads of construction and demolition debris shall ensure that such materials are processed, to the extent economically feasible, to remove recyclable materials prior to disposal. The owner or operator of such a facility shall evaluate the economic feasibility of processing to remove recyclable materials prior to disposal, and shall certify that they have evaluated the economic feasibility for processing construction and demolition debris. The certification shall indicate the economic factors that were considered in the evaluation, the types of construction and demolition debris materials that were evaluated, and whether it was determined that processing to remove recyclable materials prior to disposal was economically feasible. The evaluation and certification shall be documented on Form 62-701.900(36), Certification of Economic Feasibility to Process C&D Debris Prior to Disposal, effective date March 13, 2016, http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-06527, hereby adopted and incorporated by reference. Copies of this form are available from a local District Office or by writing to the Department of Environmental Protection, Solid Waste Section, MS #4565, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400. This certification shall be completed no later than September 9, 2016 for existing facilities, or prior to operating a new facility on or after March 13, 2016. Thereafter, the evaluation and certification shall be completed at least annually. Where an owner or operator becomes aware of changed conditions that they believe warrant discontinuing processing to remove recyclable materials prior to disposal, the owner or operator may temporarily discontinue such processing for a period of up to 12 months; however, such changed conditions shall be incorporated in the next evaluation and certification on Form 62-701.900(36). Documentation of each evaluation and certification shall be kept at the facility and made available to the Department upon request, along with supporting documentation for the items considered in the course of the economic evaluation. If the owner or operator determines that it is economically feasible to process some or all of a material being accepted, but the material currently is not being processed, then such material shall be processed prior to disposal to remove the fraction of the recyclable material to the extent economically feasible no later than three months after completion of any process changes that were identified by the owner or operator as part of the associated economic feasibility evaluation. Reporting the amounts of any recovered materials separated from the waste stream shall continue to be provided in accordance with the requirements of chapter 62-722, F.A.C. Other than the referenced provisions of chapter 62-722, F.A.C., this paragraph does not apply to:
    1. Recovered materials,
    2. Materials that have previously been source-separated and offered for recycling,
    3. Materials that have been previously processed to remove recyclable materials, or
    4. Off-site disposal of yard trash authorized in accordance with Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.803
    (14) Incineration. A facility that employs an air curtain incinerator and that also stores or disposes of construction and demolition debris at the site shall meet the permitting requirements of Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-256.700, as well as this section.
    (15) Clean debris. Clean debris may be used as fill or raw material in any area, including waters of the State, subject to receipt of an environmental resource permit from the Department where applicable. Clean debris used as fill material is not solid waste, and such use does not require a solid waste permit under this rule.
    (16) Landfill disposal. Construction and demolition debris may be disposed of in a permitted landfill. However, each county must maintain segregated disposal areas for construction and demolition debris. The cover requirements for a segregated construction and demolition debris disposal area within a permitted landfill shall be those in subsection (9) of this rule. Landfills permitted in accordance with Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.330, which have construction and demolition debris disposal units or recycling facilities included as part of their permit conditions, are not required to submit separate permit applications or financial assurance documents under this section.
    (17) Onsite disposal. Construction and demolition debris that is disposed of on the property where it is generated, or on property that is adjacent or contiguous to and under common ownership and control as that property where the waste is generated, is exempt from the requirements of this section and Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.330 However, such disposal is subject to the prohibitions of Fl. Admin. Code R. 62-701.300 All waste shall be inspected by the generator or a spotter prior to disposal, either at the point of generation or at the disposal site, to ensure that any unauthorized waste is removed from the waste stream prior to disposal and managed in accordance with Department rules. Final cover and seeding or planting of vegetative cover shall be placed on each disposal unit within 180 days after final receipt of waste. Final cover shall consist of a 24-inch-thick soil layer, the upper six inches of which shall be capable of supporting vegetation, and shall be graded and compacted as necessary to eliminate ponding, promote drainage, and minimize erosion. The side slopes of all above-grade disposal areas shall be no greater than three feet horizontal to one foot vertical rise.
    (18) Disposal restrictions. Construction and demolition debris may be disposed of only in accordance with one of the methods authorized above. In addition, disposal areas shall be operated so that adverse environmental and public health impacts, such as blowing litter and vectors, are minimized. Upon discovery that a permitted facility has disposed of solid waste outside of its permitted dimensions, the owner or operator shall notify the Department within three working days of this discovery. If all waste is not relocated within the permitted dimensions of the facility within 30 days of discovery, upon order of the Department the facility shall not accept any waste until the facility is in compliance with its permitted dimensions.
    (19) Asbestos waste disposal. Asbestos-containing waste materials regulated pursuant to 40 C.F.R. part 61, Subpart M, shall not be disposed of in a construction and demolition debris disposal unit.
    (20) CCA treated wood. The owner or operator of a facility, except for a disposal facility with a constructed liner system, shall design and implement a CCA treated wood management plan. The plan shall be designed to minimize the amount of CCA treated wood that is delivered to the facility, and must describe procedures the operator will use to make a reasonable effort to separate any CCA treated wood from other wastes at the facility. CCA treated wood that is separated from other wastes at the facility shall not be disposed of at an unlined solid waste disposal facility.
