10) The landfill disposal area has not been staked to mark the permitted disposal area and it appears that the active
disposal area has exceeded the maximum allowable two-acre footprint. *Within thirty days of receipt of this
Facility Compliance Inspection Report, the waste disposal boundary should be measured and the perimeter of
the landfill should be staked with permanent, highly visible markers to identify the landfill footprint
boundaries and all required buffers. Any waste found to have been placed outside the approved two-acre
footprint and within these required buffer areas should be pulled back to within the proper disposal area.
11) The westernmost landfill disposal area appears to have encroached the required 50’ buffer from surface
waters/wetlands along the toe of the southern side of the landfill (please see the aerial photo on page 7 of this
Facility Compliance Inspection Report). *Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection
Report, please measure the landfill disposal footprint and all required buffers. All waste found to be disposed
within the required buffer areas should be pulled back far enough to provide for the required buffer distance(s)
from the toe of the disposal area.
12) The easternmost landfill disposal area appears to have encroached the required 100’ buffer from the property
line along the toe of the northern and northeastern sides of the disposal area. *Within thirty days of receipt of
this Facility Compliance Inspection Report, please measure the landfill disposal footprint and all required
buffers. All waste found to be disposed within the required buffer areas should be pulled back far enough to
provide for the required buffer distance(s) from the toe of the disposal area.
13) It appears that the active areas of landfill have not been covered in some time. *Within thirty days of receipt
of this Facility Compliance Inspection Report, please compact and cover the landfill with a minimum of six
inches of suitable soil. Moving forward, please ensure that the active working area is covered and graded
monthly, or when the active working area reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first.
14) Some of the outside slopes of the landfill appear to have been graded at a slope greater than 3:1. *Within
thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection Report, plans need to be underway to cover and
grade all outside slopes at a slope not greater than 3:1. Moving forward all outside slopes should be
constructed and maintained at a slope not greater than 3:1.
15) The outside slopes have not been compacted and covered as required. *Within thirty days of receipt of this
Facility Compliance Inspection Report, please compact and cover all outside slopes. After completion all
repaired areas should be seeded and mulched to establish a groundcover suitable to prevent erosion of the
landfill cap system.
16) The access area around the toe of the landfill has overgrown with brush and other woody-type vegetation
making the landfill toe inaccessible in many areas. *Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance
Inspection Report, please mow/clear the access around the entire perimeter of the landfill.
17) It appears that waste has been disposed in an old borrow area holding surface waters. *Within thirty days of
receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection Report, please remove all waste disposed in any unpermitted
areas on-site and properly dispose at a Facility permitted to receive such wastes.
18) Recyclable scrap concrete and brick has been staged on site for re-use. *Please note that the State rules
regarding recovered materials state that for a material to qualify as a recovered material, the majority of the
material (75% or more) must be sold, used, or re-used within the calendar year of staging at the site. If the
required volume of materials is not re-used as required, then the materials must be properly disposed in the
LCID landfill.
19) No off-site erosion was noted during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
20) A large portion of the unpermitted waste types previously observed as having been disposed on-site have been
removed for proper disposal. *Please continue working to remove all unpermitted waste and properly dispose
of these wastes at a facility permitted to receive such wastes. Please provide me with copies of all disposal
weigh tickets.
