In any district where a sanitary landfill is permitted, the following additional requirements shall apply:
(A) A permit for any landfill operation shall be issued by the Zoning Administrator only after the receipt of all required maps and documents and after a review and favorable formal action by the Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals, instructing the Zoning Administrator to issue the permit.
(B) The following documents and maps of the site, at a scale not less than one inch equals 200 feet, shall be filed with the Zoning Administrator, showing:
(1) Existing topography of the site at ten-foot contour intervals and spot elevations in places too flat to be adequately defined contours.
(2) Present use of the land and all natural features, such as natural watercourses and drainage areas, forested areas, historic sites and the like.
(3) Ownership of the subject property and the abutting properties.
(4) A plan for the proposed use of the land, indicating the type and location of transportation facilities available and the intended use or loading of these facilities; the type and location of utilities and power facilities to be used; and such other data as is necessary to explain and define the intended operation.
(5) A plan for reshaping and final grading and drainage of the land which shall show final contours, at an interval of ten feet or spot elevations in places too flat to be adequately defined by contours.
(6) A statement from a qualified soil scientist, geologist, or engineer stating the expected severity of ground water and surface water pollution that will be generated.
(C) Whenever waste is covered with soil, to final grade that soil shall be immediately graded and seeded to ensure maximum coverage, to minimize erosion and to prevent the siltation of streams.
(D) The plan for the final grading and contouring of the site shall provide that the land can be readily used for urban and/or agricultural purposes after the landfill operation has ceased.
(1) All topsoil shall be stored and retained on the site and re-spread during grading of the site.
(2) A performance bond, equal to the amount of the assessed valuation of the property for tax purposes, shall be posted with the county to ensure shaping of the topography in conformance with the plan after the operation has ceased or has been abandoned. Failure to continue active operation for a consecutive 12-month period shall be deemed to constitute abandonment.
(E) No sanitary landfill shall be carried out within 1,000 linear feet of any R Residential District or any existing residential subdivision.
(F) No sanitary landfill operation shall be permitted except by a special use permit.
