Best management practices for daily cover focus on ensuring consistent, safe, and effective waste coverage. Operators should apply the material evenly over all exposed waste to prevent gaps that could allow odors, litter, or pests to escape. Equipment and personnel must be trained to handle the cover properly, avoiding damage during placement or removal.
The material should be inspected regularly for wear, tears, or displacement, and any issues should be addressed immediately. Operators should adjust application methods to account for weather, slope, and site conditions to maintain full coverage. Keeping accurate records of the type of cover used, the amount applied, and the areas covered helps demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations.
