Engineering reports, plans and specifications required in permits.
(1) Before constructing or modifying disposal facilities, final engineering reports, plans and specifications must be submitted to and approved by the department according to a compliance schedule specified in the permit.

(a) Designed, constructed, operated, maintained, and closed to meet the requirements of the permit issued under this chapter; and
