Section 329IAC10-17-4. Soil component of the liner; design requirements

   The soil components of the liner systems described in section 2 of this rule must meet the following requirements:

(1) Be constructed on a slope of no less than two percent (2%) toward the leachate collection pipes.

(2) Meet the specified thickness and hydraulic conductivity requirements of section 2 of this rule, as appropriate to the location of the proposed MSWLF unit.

(3) Be composed of lifts, each having a maximum thickness that:

(A) is specified in the approved construction plan or is otherwise approved by the commissioner; and

(B) in no case exceeds nine (9) inches after compaction.

(4) Have a design that adequately addresses the following factors:
