This specifically precludes any trash, garbage, or refuse material. If an accidental spill of a toxic, petroleum, or hazardous material occurs, it shall be reported to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) immediately.
    B.    Any property that has a sinkhole present that has been used as a site for dumping trash, garbage, or refuse will be prohibited from obtaining building permits, zoning change requests or land subdivision approvals until the sinkhole has been cleaned out and approved by the zoning administrator.
