ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: 1. This was a follow up compliance inspection to see if issues from several past inspections and the Notice of Violation have been resolved.

2. Leachate releasing outside the edge of waste and collection system from past inspections was not an issue during this inspection. Wet wells for the collection and removal of leachate had been installed on the landfill.

3. One new area of leachate was observed in the storm water ditch during this inspection. The need to address this area in the same manner as the previous release was discussed onsite with Section and facility staff.
