ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The sign at the entrance sign at the entrance to the facility was correct. It contained the permit number for the transfer station and the LCID. The emergency contact number is “911’, consider adding a 24/7 County contact number as well. The gate at the entrance was unlocked at the time of this inspection.
2. The site was again wet from recent rainfall. It appeared from the access road that an area of subsidence may have been holding water at the time of this inspection. It was recommended that site staff inspect the landfill for areas
of settling and subsidence that may be holding water over waste. Any areas discovered should be repaired as weather allows site staff to do so without further degrading. Any repairs to the site should be documented in your records and made available to Section staff for review. The settled areas that need soil and grading were
mentioned before in last inspection March 27, 2020. 3. A more thorough inspection will be conducted during the next inspection when conditions allow. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report. ________________________________________ Phone: [phone] _ David Powell Environmental Senior Specialist Regional Representative

Closed MSWLF was viewed Transfer Station trailer storage area and along roadway to LCID. Again, there were some slight settling and grading issues which allowed water to pond over the Closed MSW. However, there was recent rainfall.
Once weather and conditions allow, fix soil cover and grading over MSWLF. Water left to pond can infiltrate and potentially cause leachate issues in the future. Refer to Permit/Operations/Closure Plan on pre-approved methods to manage. Address these issues as soon as practical so water will not impound over waste.
