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. Due to the long runs of the side slopes, Erosion was still happening on the side slopes and along the sides of the down drains. More cover materials needing to be added to these areas. 4. Some matting has also been added to help prevent erosion. Be sure that ALL exposed waste has been covered with 6 inches of cover material before the matting is placed down. Several areas were noted to have matting over exposed waste. This was discussed on-site during this inspection. 5. Some vegetation has emerged from seeding, but more is needed to help with the erosion as well. 6. The storm water perimeter ditch has been cleaned out and exposed liner covered and sloped. 7. Corrective measures are still needed to resolve the Notice of Violation issued to this facility on July,12, 2021.
8. A follow up inspection will be conducted to ensure that compliance has been met.
9. Once the remaining issues have been resolved, a resolution letter to the NOV will be issued. 10. The size of the working face has been reduced and the daily cover looked good. 11. The sedimentation pond has 2 tires in need of removal. Plans are in the works to remove sedimentation from the pond. 12. When areas are disturbed for roads or other repairs and has exposed waste, this needs to be covered daily. 13. REMEMBER, ALL WASTE IS REQUIRED TO BE COVERED DAILY. 14. Digital pictures were taken during this inspection with some attached to this report. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
