Sec.  256.24  Recommendations for closing or upgrading open dumps.



    (a) All sources of information available to the State should be used 

to aid in the classification of facilities. Records of previous 

inspections and monitoring, as well as new inspections and new 

monitoring, should be considered.

    (b) The steps to close or upgrade open dumps established under Sec.  

256.23(c) should be coordinated with the facility needs assessment 

described in Sec.  256.41.

    (c) A determination should be made of the feasibility of resource 

recovery or resource conservation to reduce the solid waste volume 

entering a facility classified as an open dump; and feasible measures to 

achieve that reduction should be implemented.

    (d) At the time of classification of existing solid waste disposal 

facilities pursuant to Sec.  256.23, the State should consider 

developing appropriate timetables or schedules by which any responsible 

party can be brought into compliance with the open dumping prohibition 

pursuant to Sec. Sec.  256.26 and 256.27.
