information as well as materials accepted at the facility.
3. The facility accepts waste Monday through Saturday from 8:00 am until 4:45 pm and closed on Sunday.
4. The permit, operations plan, waste screening, and training records were not reviewed during this inspection.
5. The perimeter roadways around the active MSWLF and closed CDLF are being properly maintained.
6. Permanent edge of waste (EOW) markers were observed around the active portion of the MSWLF and closed
CDLF.
Yard Waste
7. The yard waste was windrowed and being prepped for grinding. Mr. Beasley stated that the yard waste would be
ground in the next few months.
8. No areas of standing water were observed in the western portion of the yard waste area. Continue to monitor and
repair the yard waste area as needed.

disposal during this inspection.
Phase 4A MSWLF
10. The southern side slope of Phase 4A is the last remaining side slope to be covered and closed. The other side slopes
have been seeded and some vegetation has begun to grow. Mr. Beasley stated that the side slopes would be
monitored, repaired, and revegetated as needed.
11. Phases 1 through 4A have received authorization for closure. Monthly meetings have been scheduled to provide
status updates during the process.
12. One well was observed to be unlocked during this inspection. In a follow-up conversation with Mr. Beasley, the
well was determined to be an abandoned well, however, a new lock was placed on the well.
13. The stormwater basins located around Phase 4A have been mowed and the woody vegetation removed. Continue
to ensure that the stormwater basins are mown and maintained in working order.
Phase 5 MSWLF
14. The slopes of Phase 5 have been covered. Grasses have begun to grow on the eastern side slope. Once the final
grade has been achieved on the western side slope, the area will be seeded.
15. Additional cover was being applied to the top of Phase 5 to meet slope requirements. The top will be seeded after
grading has been completed.
16. Windblown waste was actively being picked up during this inspection. Continue to ensure that the windblown waste
is picked up daily.
