facility PTO expires March 25, 2024.

1. The facility is in operation Monday through Friday, 7:00 am – 4:00 pm. When not in operation, the facility is
secured by a locked gate. The facility has proper signage.

5. Waste screening reports were verified for January 11, 2017 through February 1, 2018. Waste screening records
were well organized. Facility was reminded that the Solid Waste Section recommends that 1% of incoming

6. As part of the normal operations, the staff undergoes regular training which occurs approximately every 6
weeks and covers rotating topics.

7. The permit currently limits the amount of waste and recyclable material on-site to 1,800 tons. Please ensure
that the total of all waste and recyclable material on-site does not exceed 1,800 tons at any given time. Wood
was segregated from the incoming waste and stored adjacent to the trailer loading area. Wood is sent offsite
for grinding

8. Concrete is stored until it is crushed periodically onsite. Painted block, concrete and asphalt delivered to the
facility must be checked for lead paint prior to acceptance. Painted block, brick and asphalt at the facility must
be removed and properly disposed of.

9. Snow and rain events in January created a drainage problem alongside the scale at the facility. The
facility must be operated in accordance with the approved operations plan, permit, and site plan.
Changes or modifications to the design or operations of the facility must be submitted to the permitting
branch for approval before making changes. An updated site plan will be required to show changes.

Drainage issue alongside scale

10. All waste staged for transport and operational areas where waste may be piled up for processing must be
managed on an impervious surface that will not allow leachate to come in contact ground or surface waters.
One area of tipping pad in the northeastern corner appears to be slightly depressed and holding water.
Depressions in the working area should be filled and leveled as noticed to reduce onsite ponding during
and after storm events.
