ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
On April 26, 2024, Mr. Jacob Parker contacted Ms. Thompson via phone to report an incident that had occurred the day
prior, April 25, 2024. Mr. Parker stated that a tire had blown on the yard dog and the transfer trailer had tipped over with
the waste spilling onto the ground. Mr. Parker stated that the driver had just left the scale and was making a U-turn in the
road when the tire blew. The weight in the trailer shifted which caused the trailer to tip over and spill the MSW in the
ground. The driver was transported to the hospital for treatment. Mr. Parker also stated that numerous local emergency
agencies were on -site to assist with the emergency response. A local large wrecker company assisted with the up righting
of the truck and trailer. The MSW waste was cleaned up and placed in a different trailer prior to the staff leaving at the end
of the day.
During the conversation, Mr. Parker also stated that other items discussed during the February 2024 inspection had been
addressed. Ms. Thompson stated that she was in the area and would stop by the facility to view the repairs and to check on
the driver. Mr. Parker stated that the driver was still in the hospital at the time and would let me know when he was able go
home to his family. Mr. Parker stated that the yard dog started back up approximately one hour after being righted by the
wrecker. The yard dog was moving trailers around the facility during the inspection.
