(4) The location and name of public and private water sources that are located on the proposed permit area and adjacent area.

(5) The location of rights-of-way for high-tension power lines, pipelines, railroads and public and private roads within 300 feet of the proposed facility.

(6) The location of buildings in use within 300 feet of the proposed facility.

(7) The anticipated location of water quality monitoring points.

(8) The boundaries of land within the proposed permit area or adjacent area identified in § 295.202 (relating to areas where composting facilities are prohibited).

(9) The location of underground mine shafts on the proposed permit area and on adjacent areas.

(20) For noncaptive residual waste composting facilities, a designated area for vehicles for use in the event of the detection of waste containing radioactive material. The designated area shall, by location or shielding, protect the environment, facility staff and public from radiation originating in the vehicle. The Department’s ‘‘Guidance Document on Radioactivity Monitoring at Solid Waste Processing and Disposal Facilities,” Document Number 250-3100-001, describes various factors to consider in determining an appropriate designated area.

(b) The applicant shall also submit a grid coordinate system for the entire proposed permit area. The horizontal control system shall consist of a grid not to exceed 200-foot-square sections.
