ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Andrew Hammonds and David Powell with the Section, inspected Triple “A” Hauling Transfer station to follow up on the issues mentioned in the previous inspection.
2. Previous inspection, dated 2/23/2021, stated the fire, that was previously onsite at the transfer station, had been put into a roll off onsite. Mr. Harding informed Section staff this was not true, but that the burned material in
the roll off was from an offsite job and not the onsite fire. 3. Tipping floor was cleaner and more orderly this visit. Good Job. The tipping floor and transfer loading area
must be maintained in a clean, sanitary condition and must be cleaned at least daily in accordance with the approved operations plan. Waste must only be deposited on a “tipping floor” or directly into a transfer container. Waste “must not be stored on the “tipping floor” after operating hours. All waste must be placed in containers by the end of the day or removed for disposal. Including the piles of comingled waste reportedly to be screened.
Permit Attachment 3 Part IV. 18. - b. Waste must only be deposited on a “tipping floor” or directly into a transfer container. Waste must not be stored on the “tipping floor” after operating hours. 4. Site still needs to address storm water management, and therefore leachate management. Site needs proper grading to shed storm water properly and prevent comingling of storm water with waste onsite creating
additional leachate. Refer to approved Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan to manage storm water. Road should be of all-weather construction and pad should be built up more. Discussions onsite were that the facility needs to update Operations Plan and resubmit to Section with a new map. Concrete pad needs to be bigger for accounting for the needed tipping floor working area.

5. Entrance to rear of facility, where tipping floor is, has had most of the tires removed except what’s been kept for reselling. Good job, but be sure to follow through with removal of the older ones in edge of woods behind palletized resell tires.

6. Onsite roll offs were in better condition. Containers not taken to landfill by end of the day need to be covered overnight and taken by the next day. Be diligent in repairing and taking damaged ones out of service to prevent
leachate from leaving site or soaking in surrounding area which may cause surface water or ground water issues. Another reason for updating Operations plan is to address leachate issues and how the cleanup response will be done. Speedy dry mix cannot address some of the issues that Section staff have witnessed onsite.
Permit Attachment 3 Part IV. 18. - c. Waste may be stored on-site, in leak proof transfer trailers, with watertight covers, a maximum of 24 hours except that a minimal amount of waste may be stored for a maximum of 72 hours when the facility is closed during a weekend or holiday. Storage of the waste must not cause any nuisance, such as odor or attraction of vectors.

7. Current approved Operations Plan allows for the grinding of clean wood. Clean wood will be ground on “the pad” and then the ground wood will be containerized and shipped to customer. Conveyor and grinder was not operating during inspection. Clean wood goes to Wilkes road facility.
8. This facility is not approved to grind construction and demolition debris. Changes to the operations plan and or permit conditions must be submitted to the permitting branch staff for review and approval before commencing. 9. C and D soil screenings go to Ann St. landfill to be used as ADC. Analytical testing and/or waste characterization of the soil screenings should be completed periodically to ensure unacceptable wastes are not comingled in the screenings and end up in the wrong disposal site for that waste type.

10. Windblown litter was not an issue during inspection. Good job. 11. Certified Transfer Station Operations Specialist Certification are currently David Williams and John Killian.
Mr. Hardin says he will be taking the course soon to ensure they have enough certified operators. 12. Mr. Hardin informed Section staff that currently, approximately 90% of his loads go to the landfill. It may be necessary to direct haul waste to the permitted landfill(s) if it isn’t possible to manage it in accordance with the permit and approved operations plans. 13. Sign at front entrance of facility was no longer blocked by vegetation. Vegetation will grow back quickly so be diligent in trimming to ensure visibility with signage.
