Latest version.
  • The report of the design of a Class I site must:

         1. Be signed by a professional engineer registered in this State.

         2. Include a general location map showing land use and zoning within 1 mile of the disposal site.

         3. Include plans and specifications of the facility which are of sufficient detail to show compliance with the applicable design standards and provide a clear understanding of the development of the site. The plan must:

         (a) Be at a scale of not more than 200 feet to the inch, including contour intervals of not more than 5 feet.

         (b) Show the topography of the site before the development.

         (c) Show the proposed limits of excavation and fill areas, including:

              (1) The final elevations and grades of each municipal solid waste landfill unit on the site;

              (2) The system for final cover;

              (3) The location and placement of each system of liners; and

              (4) Each system for the collection and removal of leachate showing all critical grades and elevations of the inverts and drainage envelopes for the collection pipes, manholes, cleanouts, valves and sumps and showing the thicknesses of the drainage blankets.

         (d) Show any proposed soil borrow areas.

         (e) Show the sequence of development for the facility including an outline of fill areas, the sequence of filling operations and the locations of access roads.

         (f) Show access roads, including dimensions, slopes, profiles and the types of pavement to be used.

         (g) Show a typical cross section of the landfill.

         (h) Show grades, berms, dikes, swales and other devices for proper drainage and control of surface water, runon and runoff for the site.

         (i) Show the devices for monitoring and controlling the gases at the site.

         (j) Show fencing, equipment shelter, employee facilities and all other features for the development of the site.

         4. Define the population and area to be served by the site.

         5. Define the anticipated types, quantities and sources of solid wastes to be disposed of at the site.

         6. Define the source, type and quantity of cover material.

         7. Include proof of compliance with the requirements relating to the control of surface water set forth in NAC 444.6885 and 444.6887.

         8. Contain documentation that the disposal site is in compliance with NAC 444.681, including:

         (a) Appropriate charts and graphs;

         (b) Soil borings, test pit logs and other relevant geologic information;

         (c) Engineering calculations; and

         (d) Other supporting data, including literature citations.
