Sec. 21-129. Site selection and operation

The location of a rubble fill site shall be in conformity and accord with the County's Zoning Ordinance requirements for the operation of a sanitary landfill, including the requirement for a special exception permit.

Operation of the approved site shall not hinder the natural drainage pattern of the general vicinity. In instances where flood plains may exist on, or border upon the proposed site the effect of the proposed fill operation shall be determined by proper investigation and shown to be in compliance with applicable portions of Article 21 of the Building Code. Filling within the natural fifty year flood plain of streams whose ten (10) year storm design flow exceed the capacity of a seventy-two (72) inch pipe, shall not be permitted unless an approved flood control project is to be constructed using conduits or open channels having capacities greater than a seventy-two (72) inch pipe.

Engineering survey, including topography and determination of soil characteristics shall be made of each proposed site. Reports of such surveys will accompany applications for rubble fill licenses.

For the reason that the site of the completed rubble fill shall not be acceptable for any future building development, the property owner and prospective licensee shall be aware of the fact that future use of the site will be strictly confined to open space and recreational purposes.
