(A) To prevent potential ground and surface water pollution, the site must be located in an area where no pollutants can enter the water supply. The ground water table must be located and the site designed to prevent its pollution. The site must be free of potential flooding problems and karst topographic features, which would erode the cover material or interfere with operation of the landfill.
(B) To eliminate the possibility of either surface or ground water pollution, the site should:
(1) Be located a safe distance from sinkholes, streams, lakes, wells and other water sources;
(2) Avoid being located above the kind of subsurface stratification that will lead the leachate from the landfill to water sources (i.e., fractured limestone);
(3) Use an earth cover that is nearly impervious; and
(4) Provide suitable drainage to carry surface water away from the site. Grading, diking, terracing, diversion details or tiling may be approved, where appropriate.
