ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Mr. Owens stated the concrete blocks needed to extend the jersey wall have been ordered and should arrive on-site
within the next two weeks. The blocks will be staged next to the transfer station until the existing wall can be
deconstructed and the new, larger wall can be properly installed. The new wall will be designed to prevent
tipping/collapse.
2. An enclosed container has been staged next to the transfer station to hold pallets pulled from the tipping floor.
3. Facility staff has been working diligently during the day and at the end of each operational day to clean recyclable
materials from behind the jersey walls and from the beams.
4. Mr. Owens stated if a load of “dirty” bales from Sonoco is delivered the load will be rejected.
