ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Facility Inspection
1. The facility is fenced and is secured by a locking gate when it is not open for operation.
2. The correct signage is at the entrance of the facility listing the facility name, permit number and emergency contact
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 readily available and reviewed during this
inspection.
The perimeter roadways around the facility are being properly maintained.
Permanent edge of waste (EOW) markers were observed around the active portion of the MSWLF and closed
CDLF.
7. Photographs were taken during this inspection.
Yard Waste
8. The yard waste has recently been processed and windrowed.
9. Due to the heavy rains from the recent Potential Tropical Cyclone 8, several areas of standing water were observed
in the yard waste operating areas. The areas of standing water were actively being repaired and graded to shed water
during this inspection. Continue to monitor and repair the yard waste area as needed.
10. No unacceptable wastes were observed within the waste stream. Continue to remove and properly dispose of
unacceptable identified within the yard waste area.
Phase 4A MSWLF
11. Numerous large deep erosion rills were observed throughout the Phase 4A closure. Mr. Beasley stated that several
areas of erosion had been repaired prior to the storm; however, several had reappeared or new erosion rills had
appeared adjacent to the repairs. The closure contractor was on -site actively repairing gas system and erosion issues
during this inspection. Ensure that the erosion rills have been properly repaired and seeded. Continue to
monitor and repair as needed.
12. Vegetation has begun growing on Phase 4A closure. Continue to repair and reseed areas which need additional
vegetative cover.
13. Excess sediment, which was the result of erosion caused by the recent Potential Tropical Cyclone 8, was identified
in the northern sediment basin of Phase 4A. Mr. Beasley stated that the sediment basin would be cleaned out during
the repairs of the erosion rills. The remaining stormwater basins located around Phase 4A were clean, sloped, and
vegetated with grass. No woody vegetation was observed. Continue to ensure that the stormwater basins are
mown and maintained in working order.
Phase 5 and Phase 6 MSWLF
14. The facility has tied Phases 5 and 6 together. The working face was small and compact. Cover soil had been
stockpiled adjacent to the working face.
15. A stockpile of comingled soil, mulch, and waste was observed adjacent to the working face. Mr. Beasley stated that
the stockpile was remnants of the roadway to the working face during and following the Potential Tropical Cyclone
8. Ms. Thompson stated that the comingled stockpile would need to be covered due to the amount of waste observed
within the stockpile.
16. No woody vegetation was observed on the side slopes.
