discussed that edge -of -waste boundaries on all closed cells (areas) should be marked prior to any site
construction activities.
4. The top of Area C (tower region) had been seeded and showed improved vegetative cover.
5. A. Gaither stated that the county should initiate the review process by submitting a landfill gas (LFG) methane
monitoring plan to himself (and Zenith Barbee, SWS permitting hyrdogeologist).
