FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 3 2. Permit to Operate, Attachment 3, Part VI (7) (c), “Any waste stored on site after operating hours may be stored in leak resistant containers, with watertight covers, a maximum of 24 hours. However, a minimal amount of waste may be stored for a maximum of 48 hours when the facility is closed during a weekend and a maximum of 72 hours when closed for a weekend holiday. Storage of the waste must not cause any nuisance, such as odor or attraction of vectors.” Ensure all remaining waste at end of each operating day is placed into leak resistant containers with watertight covers. 3. During this inspection, it was noted that C&D waste continues to be deposited off the concrete tipping floor and piled on or in direct contact with the dirt access road. All waste staged for transport as well as operational areas where waste is piled for processing must occur on an impervious surface that will not allow leachate to contact ground or surface waters. Ensure any C&D waste collected during daily business operations is kept contained to the concrete “tipping floor” pad only. 4. Permit to Operate, Attachment 3, Part VI (9), “All water that comes into contact with solid waste, including vehicle wash-down water is leachate and must be captured and properly treated before release to the environment. (a) The leachate control system, such as floor drains, leachate collection devices, sanitary sewer connections, and leachate storage tanks, must be operational during facility operations. (b) The tipping floor must drain away from the building entrance and into the leachate collection system.” It was noted during this inspection that C&D waste is collected and processed in an uncovered area which allows water to drain directly to the dirt access road which surrounds it. The road is rutted, and multiple large areas of standing water were observed surrounding the pile of C&D waste. Any water ponding on this site may be leachate and should be collected and treated and/or disposed as such. 5. Permit to Operate, Attachment 3, Part VI (4), “The following, at a minimum, must not be accepted for transfer at the facility: hazardous waste, yard trash, liquid wastes, regulated medical waste, sharps not properly packaged…” A large pile of yard waste was observed west of the C&D tipping floor and contained large amounts of yard trash. This facility is not permitted to receive yard trash. Ensure all yard trash is removed and disposed of in the proper manner, and subsequent loads of yard trash are rerouted to a facility permitted to receive such waste. 6. Please follow the permit and approved operations plan for this facility. 7. Digital photographs were taken during the inspection.
