1. (a) Within 30 days after the approval of a registration of a municipal solid waste (MSW) facility, the owner or operator shall submit three copies of the final approved site development plan to the executive director. These copies must be loose-leaf bound and must include all drawings and sketches. The outside binder must be marked "Approved Site Development Plan" and must indicate the date of executive director approval. The executive director may allow an extension of the deadline if work required cannot reasonably be completed within 30 days.
2. (b) If at any time during the life of the site the site owner or operator becomes aware of any condition in the approved site development plan that necessitates a change to accommodate new technology or improved methods or that makes it impractical to keep the site in compliance, the site owner or operator shall submit to the executive director a revised plan.
3. (c) All drawings or other sheets prepared for revisions to a site development plan or other previously approved documents, that may be required by this subchapter, must be submitted in triplicate. The revised pages must be marked for the current revision (i.e., "Revision Number 3"), dated, and punched for insertion into the loose-leaf binder. Drawings must be 8 1/2 by 11 inches or 11 by 17 inches. However, standard-sized drawings (24 by 36 inches) folded to 8 1/2 by 11 inches may be submitted or required if reduction would render them illegible or difficult to interpret. All revised engineering drawings must be signed and sealed by the licensed professional engineer responsible for their preparation and must be included in the loose-leaf binder. All revised geological drawings shall be signed and sealed by the licensed professional geoscientist responsible for their preparation and must be included in the loose-leaf binder.
4. (d) Prior to the beginning of initial excavation or construction for an MSW mining facility, a preconstruction conference shall be held. All aspects of the application, construction activities, and inspections shall be discussed. An initial preconstruction conference shall be held within 90 days after the issuance of a registration. Executive director representatives and owner's representatives, including the engineer, the geotechnical consultant, the contractor, and the site manager, shall attend the preconstruction conference.
5. (e) After all initial construction activity has been completed and prior to processing waste, the owner/operator shall contact executive director representatives and request a pre-opening inspection. A pre-opening inspection shall be conducted by executive director representatives within 14 days of notification by the owner or operator that all construction activities have been completed, accompanied by representatives of the owner/operator and the engineer.
6. (f) The MSW mining facility shall not process solid waste until the executive director has confirmed in writing that all applicable submissions required by the registration, the approved site development plan, and this chapter have been received and found to be acceptable, and that construction is in compliance with the application and the approved site development plan. If the executive director has not provided a written or verbal response within 14 days of completion of the pre-opening inspection, the facility shall be considered approved for mining.
