Q-2, r. 19 - Regulation respecting the landfilling and incineration of residual materials
Section 18
Disposition versions
18. In order to mitigate the nuisances that an engineered landfill may generate and to allow for the carrying out of any necessary remedial measures, a buffer zone at least 50 m wide must be maintained on the perimeter of the landfill or the disposal areas and the leachate or water treatment system sites, other than surface water sediment basins, and if present, the stockpiling platform for contaminated soil or other residual materials intended to be used as cover material, the biogas gas pumping system and the removal facility. The buffer zone must be an integral part of the engineered landfill.
A buffer zone must not have any watercourse or body of water within it. Its interior and exterior boundaries must be maintained so that they are capable of being located at all times.
Only activities necessary to access and monitor the facilities, and activities consistent with the purposes referred to in the first paragraph are permitted in a buffer zone. That restriction does not prevent the establishment of all or part of a buffer zone on an existing landfill, so long as the achievement of those purposes is not compromised.
