                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

OPERATING BURN PITS AT CLOSED LANDFILLS (§ 10.1-1410.3)

The Department shall develop policies and procedures to allow for the infrequent
burning of vegetative waste at permitted landfills that have ceased accepting
waste but have not been released from postclosure care requirements. The
policies and procedures developed shall include measures to ensure protection of
public health and the environment, including (i) limits to the amount of
vegetative waste that may be burned, (ii) the types of materials that may be
burned, (iii) the frequency of the burning, (iv) the length of time the burning
occurs, and (v) an evaluation of other alternatives for managing the vegetative
waste. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit a city or locality
from exercising its authority to regulate such facilities by requiring among
other things, permits or approvals.
