The walls of the transfer station were in need of cleaning. Pressure washing is recommended. 6. A slight amount of waste was observed on the top of the push wall and on top of the first beam above the push walls on each side of the facility. It appeared that the waste had been there for some time as it was covered with dust. All waste in these areas should be properly disposed of at the end of each working day. 7. Waste was observed behind the push wall on the west side of the facility. Waste on the tipping floor prevented inspection of the push wall on the east side of the facility. All waste behind the wall must be removed and properly disposed. 8. A significant amount of waste was located on the recessed portion of the facility floor at the southwest corner of the building. It appeared that some of the waste had been there for quite some time as it was covered with dust. All waste,in this area must be picked up and properly disposed of at the end of the working day. Operating Condition #7b requires that no waste be stored on the tipping floor after operating hours. It is recommended that measures be taken to provide a means to prevent waste from being pushed off the tipping floor onto this recessed area. 9. A portion of the front wall located on the west side of the entrance to the facility was damaged at the time of inspection.

The access road leading to the transfer trailer loading area was muddy with potholes at the time of inspection resulting in a significant amount of mud being tracked onto the floor of the loading area. This access drive should be re -graveled to prevent additional sediment from being deposited in the loading area which could lead to blockage of the leachate drain. 15.
