Section 88.288. Vegetation-supporting material: soil storage

(a) Soil and other vegetation-supporting materials shall be redistributed or stockpiled for redistribution.

(b) Stockpiled materials shall be selectively placed on a stable area within the permit areas and located where the material, unless approved by the Department, will not be moved until required for redistribution or otherwise disturbed by the refuse disposal activities.

(c) Stockpiled material shall be protected from wind and water erosion, unnecessary compaction and contaminants which lessen the capability of the materials to support vegetation when redistributed. Protective measures shall be accomplished by one of the following:

(1) Seeding or planting an effective cover of nonnoxious, quick-growing annual or perennial species, or both.

(2) Other methods demonstrated to, and approved by, the Department to provide equal protection.

The provisions of this § 88.288 adopted December 19, 1980, 10 Pa.B. 4789, effective July 31, 1982, 12 Pa.B. 2382.
