39. Buffer zone: Every sanitary landfill site must have a buffer zone at least 10 metres wide between the limits of the solid waste landfill area and all neighbouring land occupied by a person other than the operator of the sanitary landfill site.
Where such buffer zone is a wooded area, the existing trees must be preserved in order to maintain the natural forest setting.
