COMMENTS
General
1. This inspection was conducted by a Comprehensive Landfill Audit Team.
2. This landfill is a closed and unlined MSWLF.
Documentation
1. The contingency plan, closure plan, sampling reports and documentation, financial assurance, staff training,
and site drawings were available for review and presented in an orderly manner.
2. No volatile or semi -volatile organic compounds were detected in the groundwater monitoring.
3. The Facility Plan Figure needs to be updated with proper location and identification of all landfill gas
monitoring wells, groundwater monitoring wells and passive landfill gas vents.
4. The last three quarterly monitoring events for landfill gas (LFG) indicate GMW-5 and GMW-8 had readings
of 100% gas detected. County staff mentioned that the current gas meter had questionable accuracy, as
readings were given in ranges, not specific levels. The facility shall resample all of the LFG monitoring wells
(GMW-1 thru GMW-10) using an instrument capable of more accurate readings, such as a Landtec GEM
2000, within thirty (30) days of this inspection and submit these results to this Section. Also, the facility
should notify the Section within twenty-four hours of the discovery of any LFG exceedance.
5. Start using the new Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form located in the SWS Landfill Gas Guidance Document
for all future LFG monitoring events. LFG monitoring should take place quarterly (for all ten wells and all
structures on site). As mentioned above, the facility shall notify the SWS within twenty-four hours of any
exceedance. Monthly monitoring will be required after an exceedance until there are three consecutive
months of in -compliance readings.
Facility Grounds and Structures
1. The facility is fenced and gated to prevent unauthorized entry.
2. Signs are posted and contain all required information.
3. The site is very well maintained.
4. The top and side slopes are being maintained so as to provide positive drainage of stormwater. There were
several small areas where seeding with seasonally appropriate vegetation is occurring, so as to maintain
groundcover. No erosion was noted, despite several excessive rainfall events up to and including the week of
this inspection.
5. There was soil build up around several well casings. It should be cleared around the base of the wells to expose
the concrete pad. If this causes ponding of surface water additional concrete and a taller metal casing may be
required.
6. All wells need to be labeled with paint or adhesive letters/numbers. Also, repaint all gas monitoring wells red
and groundwater monitoring wells yellow, preferably with rust preventive paint.
7. Several rusted lids were in need of repair. Repair the rusted out holes in the locked hinged lids on LFG
monitoring wells GMW-2 and GMW-3.
8. Retrofit all LFG monitoring wells (GMW-1 thru GMW-10) with flexible tubing equipped with a valve. This
tubing should be attached with a hose clamp to the existing barb on the top of each well. Prior to
selecting/installing the tubing, consult with the monitoring equipment manufacturer to ensure a proper fit with
their instrument. Submit a picture of finished product to the SWS.
9. LFG monitoring wells GMW 7, 8, and 9 may have been installed in waste, or within close proximity to, as
edge -of -waste markers are next to these wells. Monitoring records indicate elevated gas levels for these wells.
Relocation of the wells may be required to better understand gas migration patterns.
10. Groundwater MW-3 appears to have a constant flow. The outer protective metal casing and actual well were in
disrepair. The well casing displayed severe corrosion. This well should be replaced and properly abandoned, as
it is not longer suitable for sampling.
11. A path needs to be cleared leading to groundwater monitoring wells MW-9 and MW-6.
12. Bollards are needed around groundwater MW-1, MW-2, and MW-8, so as to protect the wells during mowing.
Any rigid material may be used, as it is merely used to increase visibility.
13. A groundwater well labeled "MW-5" was on -site, but was not indicated on any of the maps or mentioned in
the most recent Water Quality Monitoring Report. Please provide information for this well.
