8. The interior roadways are made of all-weather construction, concrete and gravel. Several areas of standing water
were observed within the gravel roadways of the Site. In concurrence with the Transfer Station Assessment Report,
it is recommended that the gravel access roadway be graded and repaired as needed to prevent standing water.
9. The waste on the tipping floor is being managed in accordance with the facility permit and approved operations
plan. No unacceptable wastes were observed at the time of the inspection. Mr. McClung stated that the tipping floor
had recently been power washed.
10. Several holes were observed in the metal push wall near the conveyor from the adjacent recycling facility. It is
recommended that the push walls be repaired and monitored for further damage.

waste needs to be picked up around the facility and cleaned out of the transfer trailer loading bay daily.

scheduled for repair and was not in service at the time of this inspection. The gate of a full trailer had failed. Mr.
