4. The landfill has not received waste since April of 2020.
5. The landfill was stabilized with native vegetation at the time of inspection.
6. Groundwater monitoring was being performed semiannually as required. Records for the second semiannual
sampling event for 2023 (performed August 15-16, 2023) were verified via the Division of Waste Management
document database.
7. As noted on the previous inspection report, vegetation was quite tall preventing a thorough inspection of slopes.
However, grass was being mowed at the time of inspection. Please notify the Solid Waste Section upon
completion of mowing activities so a follow-up inspection can be performed.
8. The detention pond was well maintained.
9. Edge of waste markers were verified along the west, north and eastern boundaries of the landfill. One marker had
been destroyed at the northwest corner of the landfill and was in need of replacement. It appeared that an
additional marker was needed along the western boundary to allow for a clear line-of-sight between corner markers
to the southwest and northwest.
10. The facility was secured by a gate.
11. All access roads were of all-weather construction and well maintained.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
