5) The groundwater monitoring wells were observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection. All the wells
were readily accessible, painted with high visibility paint, properly labeled, and secured with functional locks.
6) Areas of differential settlement were observed throughout the landfill; however, no areas of ponding/standing
water were observed on the top lift of the landfill. The presence of wetlands dependent plants growing in the
settled areas suggests the presence of seasonal ponding/standing water. *These areas should be monitored for
ponding waster. Any areas noted as retaining surface waters should be filled and graded to promote positive
drainage of surface waters away from the landfill. All filled areas should be seeded and mulched to establish a
groundcover suitable to prevent erosion of your landfill cap system.
7) A cover-crop of native warm season grasses has been established and overall is well maintained throughout
the landfill.
8) The cover crop is mowed throughout the year as needed. Portions of the landfill cover crop have recently been
mowed.
9) Scrap concrete, concrete block, and brick is staged on-site in an area adjacent to the landfill for future
grinding/crushing and re-use. Portions of the stockpile have been ground/crushed and are staged for use on-
site in roadbuilding activities. *Please note that the State rules regarding recovered materials state that for a
material to qualify as a recovered material, the majority of the material (75% or more) must be sold, used, or
re-used within twelve months of staging at the site. If the required volume of materials is not re-used within
twelve months, then the materials must be properly disposed at a Facility permitted to receive such wastes.
10) No off-site erosion was observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
11) *Corrective measures are required as a result of this Facility Compliance Inspection.
