PURPOSE: This rule provides guidelines for reclamation of permitted metallic minerals waste management areas.
- (1) Compliance with sections 444.362 and 444.365, RSMo (Cum. Supp. 1989) requires establishment of final designated uses for waste management areas. The methods of land reclamation proposed to achieve this goal shall be a condition to the permit. Because of the unique nature of each waste management facility, specific permit requirements shall be negotiated within the framework established by sections 444.352– 444.380, RSMo (Cum. Supp. 1989.)
(2) Land reclamation methods shall be established so that—
- (A) Wind erosion and dust generation will be minimized; and
- (B) Runoff and seepage are managed to minimize negative environmental effects and changes in the hydrologic balance.
- (3) Dust shall be controlled by techniques such as water spray, chemical binders, anchored mulches, vegetation and physical containment.
- (4) Alternatives to land reclamation such as off-site removal or processing for beneficial use shall be described in the closure and inspection-maintenance plans and shall be included in the permit.
