The Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) had revised/increased their
compliance rules for operating construction and
demolition debris (C&D) landfills. The Royal Oak
Ranch C&D Landfill had several compliance issues
to resolve in addition to the new rule changes.
Barnes, Ferland and Associates, Inc. (BFA) was
hired by the owner to modify the permit and
resolve these old and new compliance issues in
accordance with FDEP Rule Ch. 62-710. This
work included development of 1) Landfill

and 3) Financial Assurance Plan. Some of the
more significant issues involved landfill grading
and closure planning, storm water control, filling in
of borrow pits/wetlands and emergency procedures. |
