Section 164.1 Disposition versions

2020-09-17

164.1. The custodian of any land that was used as a residual materials disposal site, has been decommissioned and was subject to a cover requirement at the time it was closed is required to ensure that the residual materials remain completely covered with soil at all times.

If the custodian fails to do so, the custodian must

(1)  collect any residual materials that have been scattered;

(2)  grade the residual materials and cover them with a soil layer at least 60 cm thick;

(3)  establish a vegetative layer of herbaceous plants on the soil layer.

This section applies to any residual materials disposal site where such materials are landfilled or deposited and that was subject to a cover requirement at the time it was closed or decommissioned, such as a dump closed pursuant to section 126 of the Regulation respecting solid waste (chapter Q-2, r. 13). This section does not apply to the facilities listed in section 2 of this Regulation.
