(A) In addition to the information required by § 91.05, an owner of a new ILO shall submit to BCHD a closure plan for the waste and waste system storage/treatment facilities. This plan shall be prepared by a technical specialist designated by the state and the Conservation Commission. Lagoon closure shall include the removal of the sludge in the lagoon and its disposal by proper land application at agronomic rates or by some other legally permissible method. Lagoon closure shall also include the grading and sloping of the walls of the lagoon and the seeding of the same area. Lagoons shall not be filled or otherwise closed until an inspection by the BCHD determines sludge has been removed and properly disposed of. Alternative methods of closure, such as regaining use of the lagoon for a pond or for wildlife use, shall be considered by BCHD on a case-by-case basis provided such other requirements set forth in this section are satisfied. Closure may be postponed with approval of the BCHD for a period of 24 months if the property is posted for sale.
(B) All wastes from the feeding operation and its waste control system must be removed and disposed of on land or in some other manner which is legally permissible as soon as practicable and in accordance with the approved plan in order to promote and protect public health.
