9. The liner closure has begun on Phases 1 through 4A. Monthly meetings have been scheduled to provide status
updates during the process.
10. Mr. Beasley stated that during the installation of the liner, a leachate seep was identified. The seep was investigated
and repaired. Continue to monitor for and repair leachate seeps as needed.
Phase 5 MSWLF
11. Erosion rills were identified along the western side slope of Phase 5. It was recommended that the rills be repaired
to prevent further erosion.
12. During this inspection, methane collection wells were being installed. Mr. Beasley stated that the contractor
excavates for the collection line, installs the line, then covers the line and waste prior to the end of the operating
day. The area will be graded and seeded following the installation of the methane collection system.
Phase 6 MSWLF
13. The working face of Phase 6 was small and compact. The working face was actively being covered during this
inspection.
14. Minimal windblown waste from the working face was observed at the base of the western side slope of Phase 5.
Workers pick up the windblown waste throughout the operating day to ensure that the windblown is picked up by
the end of the operating day.
