Re: Avery County
Dear Julian:
I have discussed the compliance issue with Randall Fletcher. He says that he is aware
of what you want them to do, and that they are in the process of accomplishing this. I
advised him that the County's performance of your requirements is the key to obtaining
the vertical permit for the site. We have not been requested to provide any additional
services at this time. If you know of anything or become aware of anything that will
expedite the issuance of the vertical permit or meeting the Compliance Order, please
advise.
Thank you for your past and continuing cooperation and assistance in this matter.
Very truly yours,

5) Since the bad weather is almost over and the roads are getting dry,
we will be hauling dirt regularly to cover the trash.
6) Last year we seeded the banks to control erosion. We did have some
erosion and this year we plan to seed again in early spring.
7) To prevent site erosion, we are sloping the trash area so the
run off will not stand on top of the trash.

11) We will be seeding the slopes to control the erosion problem.
12) We are taking every precaution to retain the leachate from the landfill by
correcting the drainage from the trash.
13) The W.C. Prison Department has agreed to send their landfill crew monthly
to pick up the,wind blown materials.
14) As tires are hauled into the landfill in the containers, they are being
picked up and placed on the outside of the garbage and then loaded onto a
trailer and taken to be recycled.
15) We have the sedimentation ponds dipped out approximately two times a year.
Heavy rains have caused our ponds to fill -up more frequently.
16) The new Commissioners, the County Manager and the Landfill Supervisor will
all meet on a monthly basis with the landfill employees to discuss problems,
etc.
