1. All photos were taken by Lee Hill on March 5, 2020.
2. The facility is secured by a Forest Service gate which was locked upon arrival to the landfill.
3. A landfill gas assessment was conducted in 1999 and the Solid Waste Section responded on February 2, 2000
stating that further monitoring was not required.
4. The facility has conducted its groundwater monitoring however; the reporting has been delayed due to laboratory
backlog. The facility has been in contact Solid Waste Section Hydrogeologist, Elizabeth Werner.
5. Good vegetative cover was observed on the landfill cap which is being mowed on a regular basis. The cap was
last mowed during the fall of 2019.
6. All groundwater monitoring wells were observed to be locked at the time of inspection. The facility is in the

7. An edge of waste marker on the south side of the landfill had been struck by mowing equipment. Repair the

Positive drainage was being maintained on the cap and the no standing water was observed.
