ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. The facility is fenced and is secured by a locking gate when it is not open for operation. 2. The correct signage is at the entrance of the facility listing the facility name, permit number and emergency contact information as well as materials accepted at the facility. 3. The permit, operations plan, cover logs, and waste screenings were reviewed during this inspection. 4. The facility has certified personnel on site during the hours the site is open to the public. The certified personnel on site are: Tonja Travis, Certified Transfer Station Operation Specialist, TS-2015013, exp. 5/3/2024 Tonja Travis, Certified Landfill Operations Specialist, LF-2017059, exp. 4/20/2023 Edgar Stanfield, Certified Transfer Station Operations Specialist, TS-2013050, exp. 5/10/2025 Edgar Stanfield, Certified Landfill Operations Specialist, LF-2001362, exp. 6/13/2025 Randy Pike, Certified Landfill Operations Specialist, LF-2015025, exp. 5/3/2024 Trenton Smith, Certified Landfill Operations Specialist, LF-2017041, exp. 4/11/2023 Kevin Scott, Certified Transfer Station Operations Specialist, TS-2015055, exp. 5/20/2024 Billy Parish, Certified Landfill Operations Specialist, LF-2022029, exp. 5/26/2025 The access around the facility is stable and no soil erosion was noted. 4204-INDUS-1994 6. No overgrown or woody vegetation was observed on the side slopes. Mr. Stanfield stated he has placed some mulch on the side slopes to help stabilize the slopes while grass is being established. 7. Mr. Stanfield brought to the attention of Section staff that he was having an issue with a slope drain located near the southeastern corner of the coal ash landfill. During rain events, a "rooster tail" of water would come from the southeastern slope drain and erode the drainage ditch or roadway, depending on the intensity of the "rooster tail." Mr. Stanfield provided videos of the phenomenon to the Section after the inspection. The southeastern slope drain was inspected, and it appears that the water exiting the slope drain hits the concrete energy dissipater then will shoot up into the air. The distance the water will travel from the dissipater will change depending on the intensity of the rain fall. Mr. Stanfield asked if the slope drains or energy dissipater could be modified so that the "rooster tail" of water does not continue to erode the side slope. Ms. Thompson forwarded the videos and photographs to Ms. Elizabeth Werner, DWM Hydrogeologist. 4204-Transfer-2013 8. The condition of the tipping floor is consistent with the daily operation of the facility. All waste is removed from the tipping floor at the operating day. The tipping floor is also washed at the end of the operating day. 9. Areas of worn concrete were identified near the edge of the tipping floor and transfer trailer loading bay. Continue to monitor and repair the tipping floor as needed as described in the Transfer Station Assessment Report. 10. Several areas of the metal push walls have been damaged by the equipment. Ensure that the push walls are monitored and repaired as needed as described in the Transfer Station Assessment Report. 11. The transfer station walls have recently been power washed. 12. Windblown waste is being well -managed and minimal around the transfer station. Waste was identified within the transfer trailer bay. Mr. Stanfield stated that the waste is removed from the transfer trailer bay between trailers and at the end of the day. Continue to ensure that the windblown waste is picked up daily and removed from the transfer trailer bay as needed throughout the operating day. 13. Several pieces of waste were observed on the grate of the leachate drain; however, the leachate drain was free flowing. 14. The white goods were stored upright and marked after the CFCs were removed.
