ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Jerry Austin and David Powell road part of the SE side of the Closed MSW along YWN area. No settled areas were visible and site had good grass cover. No trees/ or shrubs were visible. Last year County removed a large number of over growth along backside and did a good job. Backside could not be inspected this visit without causing ruts and disturbing cap due to recent rainfall.
Looking west from access road before yard waste notification. 2. Please, be sure and keep perimeter vegetation under control and protect the progress that was made last year.
Also, be sure to maintain access roadway around perimeter.

4. Environmental 1 INC. is doing ground water and surface waters sampling.
1/7/2021 Sampling data. 5. Composted YW can be used to reclaim slopes of Closed MSW and help with erosion control. Max depth of 2 to 3 inches should be used. Cannot be used as fill or buried etc. This should assist the County by utilizing it for
a beneficial purpose. 6. Discussion onsite were about when groundwater sampling and monitoring could end and if that was possible in
near future or at some point. Mr. Powell was not sure if this was possible, but suggested contacting Ming Chao/Sherri Stanley on what the requirements for the Closed MSW and if it could ever be done sampling and monitoring. Ming Chaos’ contact number is (919) 707 – 8251 and [e-mail]. Sherri Stanley,
Permitting Branch Head, (919) 707 – 8235 and [e-mail]. Please be sure and confirm with Section Permitting before changing any procedures with the monitoring or other aspects of compliance with the
