Municipal Landfills in Post-Closure Care
Use of land over a permitted municipal solid waste landfill
facility that is closed, but currently in post-closure care is
regulated under the rules for post-closure land use in
30 TAC §330.957(b)(2).
All Other Closed Municipal Landfills
Use of land over any other type of closed municipal solid waste
landfill (including permitted municipal solid waste landfills that
are no longer in post-closure care, closed landfills that were
developed before permitting requirements, and closed, unauthorized
landfills) is regulated under the rules for persons owning,
leasing, or developing property or structures overlying a closed
municipal solid waste landfill, in
30 TAC Chapter 330, Subchapter T.
Enclosed structures developed prior to September 1, 1993, over
deposited waste are required to obtain a registration following the
requirements in
30 TAC §330.959.
A permit is required for development after September 1, 1993, of
any enclosed structure over deposited waste, following the
requirements in
30 TAC §330.956.
In addition, any other activity or development (including
borings, fenceposts, piers, foundations, recreational facilities,
etc.) that would disturb the final cover of a closed municipal
solid waste landfill must have prior written approval from the
executive director of the TCEQ, in accordance with
30 TAC §330.954(e).
