ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1)The 5901-MSWLF-1985 inspection has not been done for the past several years. This is the first report
generated and placed under this permit number since 8/24/2016.
2) The facility has entrance signage, directional signage, and locking gate and fences for security.
3) The roads consist of mostly pavement and gravel and were in good condition.
4) The facility has permanent edge-of-waste markers, as required.
5) Landfill gas reports were available and accessible in a notebook onsite, with no issues of note. A few gas wells
that were accessible at the access road front of the closed landfill were observed.
6) Groundwater Monitoring reports were available and accessible in a notebook onsite, with no issues of note. A few
groundwater monitoring wells for the closed landfill were observed. All monitoring wells were locked and had
identification tag with information required. However, I would recommend clearing paths to the monitoring
wells as weather permits, as some wells were not reached the day of the inspection due to recent wet weather
and heavy vegetation.
7) The landfill has a very good cover and is mowed, except where the large trees are present.
8) Approximately four acres of the cap of the original Phase 1 (1985) landfill (closed in 1993) is covered in
large trees. The current facility personnel guessed that the trees are approximately 30 years old or more.
It has been discussed for many inspection report cycles that the damage to the cap to remove trees of that
size and thickness over the four acres would risk the stability of the landfill and the site. No action regarding
the trees was requested at the time of this inspection.
9) Some digital photographs taken during this inspection are included in this report (page 3).
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
