It shall be unlawful for any person to throw, dump, bury, burn, destroy or otherwise dispose of solid waste within the boundaries of the county except at a sanitary landfill, transfer station or convenience station. However, in areas zoned A-1 general agriculture or R-A residential-agriculture, when the health or safety of the public is not jeopardized and when not evident from a public road, street, or alley or from abutting property, a person may dispose of his own refuse upon property under his ownership or under his effective control; and, further, a person may burn his own rubbish on property under his ownership or under his effective control at a distance of not less than 50 feet from an occupied building on abutting property when permitted by regulations of the state air pollution control board and article III of chapter 42 of this Code.
(b)
It shall be lawful to deposit imperishable materials such as stone, bricks, tile, sand, gravel, soil, asphalt, concrete products and similar materials, for land filling purposes, upon any lot or parcel of land in the county with the consent of the owner; provided that any such landfill shall be compacted as filled and shall be covered with not less than six inches of soil within 60 days after such fill is completed or abandoned.
(c)
In addition, a land disturbing permit, including an erosion and sediment plan as required by article II of chapter 38, must be submitted and approved. Landowners operating fill areas of more than three acres must also apply for a collector's permit as required by section 66-43. All land filling of soft materials must be recorded in the office of the clerk of the circuit court.
