"Active" means, when used to describe a solid waste disposal facility or a portion thereof ( , active MSWLF or active cell), any solid waste disposal facility, or portion thereof, accepting solid waste as of the effective date of this Chapter, regardless of whether such facility has obtained a solid waste permit from DEQ.

8 "Active life" means the period of operation beginning with the initial receipt of solid waste and ending at completion of closure activities. "Active portion" means: (A) that part of a land disposal facility that has or is receiving waste and that has not received either intermediate or final cover; or (B) solid waste process and storage areas at non-land disposal facilities. "Airport" means a public-use airport open to the public without prior permission, and without restrictions within the physical capacities of available facilities.

"Aquifer" means a geological formation, group of formations, or portion of a formation capable of yielding significant quantities of groundwater to wells or springs. "Areas susceptible to mass movement" means those areas of influence ( , areas characterized as having an active or substantial possibility of mass movement) where the movement of earth material at, beneath, or adjacent to the land disposal facility, because of natural or man-induced events, results in the downslope transport of soil and rock material by means of gravitational influence.

10 Such areas include, but are not limited to, landslides, avalanches, debris slides and flows, soil fluxion, block sliding, and rock fall. "ASTM" means the American Society for Testing and Materials. "Bird hazard" means an increase in the likelihood of bird/aircraft collisions that may cause damage to the aircraft or injury to its occupants.
