ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. Inspection was to follow up on previous July inspection. Recent rainfall and high traffic going up to working face
kept inspector from visiting working face. Roadway was being repaired with soil upon arrival. Trucks having difficult time with getting stuck and causing ruts. Will return to inspect MSWLF more completely and to resolve previous observed violations if corrections have been made at that time.

3. Some exposed waste was observed on areas of the MSW that are not a part of the current working face but around
the top slope. Some on south side and some on north side. Erosion rills were also visible around top of MSW from recent rainfall. NW corner of existing MSW is probably worst area. Please cover and slope accordingly when conditions allow.
4. MMW 15 on west side of MSWLF was properly locked and had ID plate.
