FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 5 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 has 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 material is being added to these areas. Currently the facility is working on the West slope. 4. Some matting has also been added to help prevent erosion. Be sure that ALL exposed waste has been covered with enough cover material before the matting is placed down. Due to the type of cover material used, you may need to add more than the required amount to control these issues. This was discussed on-site during this inspection. More berms are to be added to help with the erosion. 5. Vegetation has emerged from the seeding of the repair areas. 6. The storm water perimeter ditch has been cleaned out and exposed liner covered and sloped. Work is still being conducted in several areas. 7. Corrective measures are still needed to resolve the Notice of Violation issued to this facility on July,12, 2021. 8. The size of the working face has been reduced and the daily cover looked good. 9. Plans to remove sedimentation from the pond were discussed during the last inspection, but heavy rain has filled the pond before this could be done. 10. When areas are disturbed for roads or other repairs and has exposed waste, this needs to be covered daily. 11. REMEMBER, ALL WASTE IS REQUIRED TO BE COVERED DAILY. 12. A follow up inspection will be conducted to ensure that compliance has been met. 13. Once the remaining issues have been resolved, a resolution letter to the NOV will be issued. 14. Digital pictures were taken during this inspection with some attached to this report.
