5. Waste tonnage reports were verified for March 2017 through February 2018. The facility received 2,470.56-tons
of waste during this time.
6. Groundwater and surface water monitoring was being performed semiannually as required. First semiannual

(performed December 28, 2017) were verified.
7. Methane and hydrogen sulfide monitoring was being performed quarterly as required. Monitoring reports for

8. Waste screening reports were verified for April 5, 2017 to present. It appeared that the screenings were being
performed with adequate frequency and appeared to represent 1% of the waste stream.
9. A soil cover log was being maintained. The log documented the date and number of loads of soil placed on the

Operations Inspection of the CDLF:
11. Waste was being placed into Phase 1.
12. At the time of inspection, soil work was being performed to begin moving east into Phase 2.
13. The working face was less than one-half acre in size.
14. No unacceptable waste streams were observed.
15. Good earthen cover had been provided to inactive portions of the landfill.
16. Windblown waste was well controlled. Staff were in the process of picking up windblown material upon arrival at
the facility.
17. It appeared that groundcover was sparse on inactive slopes of the landfill slopes which had resulted in slight rill
erosion. Please ensure that all bare areas and those areas of sparse vegetative cover are reseeded to ensure the
establishment of a groundcover sufficient to restrain erosion.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
