11) This Facility is currently receiving +/- 400 tons of waste per week.
12) The Facility access roads are of all-weather construction and appear well-maintained at this time.
13) An adequate number of trailers are not maintained onsite for the volume of waste currently managed by this
Facility. *No transfer trailers suitable to haul C&D waste were observed on site during this Facility
Compliance Inspection. Moving forward, additional trailers suitable for the transfer of the permitted waste
type should be maintained onsite to properly load and transport all incoming waste.
14) A large volume of C&D waste was observed in the transfer station waiting to be loaded for removal from the

the concrete push walls to help prevent waste from overtopping the walls during daily operations.
15) C&D waste is being deposited and managed on the concrete pad outside of the covered area. Some waste was
observed pushed off of the concrete pad onto the unpaved area to the rear (southern side) of the transfer
station. *Please return all waste placed outside of the covered area to the covered area of the concrete pad.
Moving forward, all incoming waste should be managed on the portion of the concrete pad covered by the
