(A) A special use permit for any landfill operation shall be required. The following plans shall be required for any sanitary landfill operation and may be required for other landfills.
(B) Maps of the site at a scale of one-inch equals 200 feet or a smaller scale if necessary for clarity. If map size would exceed 36 inches, the next appropriate map scale may be used.
(C) Existing topography of the site at ten-foot contour intervals, spot elevations in places too flat to be adequately defined by contours, and all natural features such as natural watercourses and drainage ways.
(D) Ownership of the subject property and the abutting properties.
(E) The present use of the land and of adjoining land.
(F) A statement from a qualified soil scientist, geologist, or engineer stating the expected severity of ground water or surface water pollution that will be generate, shall be required for sanitary landfill operations.
(G) A section of the plan shall be devoted to the reshaping, final grading, and expected drainage pattern of the site when completely filled. This section shall include map showing final contours at intervals of not more than ten feet and spot elevations in place too flat to be adequately defined by contours.
(H) Final grading shall be implemented concurrently with landfill operations. The landfill plan shall designate which sections of the landfill parcel will be filed and final graded to accomplish concurrent implementation of the final plan with ongoing landfill operations. Those sections that are final graded shall be immediately seeded with foliage or grasses capable of minimizing erosion and preventing the siltation of streams.
(I) The sanitary landfill site shall be completely fenced with a solid or wire mesh fence not less than six feet in height and, if wire, with mesh small enough to prevent windblown landfill materials from escaping the site.
(J) All topsoil shall be stored and retained on the site and re-spread during final grading of the site.
(K) The plan shall provide that the land can be readily used for urban or agricultural purposes after the landfill operation has ceased.
(L) A performance bond equal to the amount of the assessed valuation for the property for the purposes shall be posted with the county to insure reshaping of the topography in conformance with the plan. If the sanitary landfills to be conducted on only a portion of the total parcel at any one time the portion to be used may be so designated on the plan and the performance bond posted for the part or parts to be so used.
(M) No sanitary landfill shall be operated within 1,000 linear feet of any R Residential District or any existing residential subdivision except when most unusual circumstances exist.
(N) A permit from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency shall be required.
