observed: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day,
Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
6) This Facility screens all incoming loads for unpermitted materials. Waste screening activities are recorded in
a log which is maintained in the scalehouse. On average, this Facility records the screening of approximately
10% of all incoming loads.
7) This Facility is approved for the use of Posi-shell as an alternate daily cover and is currently alternating soil
and Posi-Shell for its daily cover.
8) This Facility manages landfill gas through a passive venting system.
9) The Facility access road is of all-weather construction and is being well maintained at this time.
10) Edge of liner markers have been installed throughout the landfill and are being maintained as required.
11) This landfill is currently operating in Phase III.
12) This Facility is currently receiving +/-160 tons of waste per day.
13) Soil is stockpiled adjacent to the active working face for use as cover.
14) The working face is being maintained in a compact and manageable size.
15) The waste type was reviewed during this Facility Compliance Inspection. Only MSW was observed at the

portable fencing appears to be functioning well. All windblown debris is being collected and returned to the
working face as needed.
17) Windblown litter is well managed and no windblown litter was observed outside of the active working area
during this Facility Compliance Inspection.

asbestos waste is disposed in an area adjacent to the working face, covered upon receipt, and mapped with a
GPS unit.
19) The stormwater management ponds were reviewed. The ponds were clear of windblown litter and brush, and
no areas of erosion were observed around the pond margins during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
20) Due to differential settlement within the landfill, portions of the Southeastern sideslope of Phase II have
slopes with an irregular contour. Some of these areas appear to have a slope greater than 3:1. This condition is
making the proper maintenance of these areas difficult. *As per our conversation, please fill and grade these
slopes at a slope not greater than 3:1. After grading, please seed and mulch to establish a groundcover suitable
to prevent erosion of your landfill cap system.
21) Overall, the closed areas of the landfill are well maintained with a well-established cover crop of native warm
season grasses. The Facility cover crop is mowed throughout the year as needed.
22) Construction of the Phase IV expansion project has been completed.
23) Areas of erosion were observed in various areas on the outside slopes of the Phase IV expansion area. *Please
fill and grade these eroded areas. All repaired areas should be seeded and mulched to establish a groundcover
suitable to prevent erosion of the landfill cap system.
24) Repairs to correct the leachate releases on the Southeastern sideslope are ongoing. *Please continue to

monitor all repaired areas for future leachate releases. Appropriate action should be taken if the repairs prove
to be ineffective.
25) The leachate collection system cleanouts are highly visible, readily accessible, protected, and well maintained.
26) Facility monitoring wells were reviewed during this Facility Compliance Inspection. Overall, the wells were
readily accessible, properly labeled, and secured with functioning locks. However, one of the groundwater
monitoring well #17 protective bollards has been knocked down. Many of the bollards in this area along the
southeastern access road appear to be insufficiently anchored to effectively protect the monitoring wells from
equipment. *Please repair this bollard and ensure that all protective bollards are sufficiently anchored and
properly secured so as to adequately protect the monitoring wells.
27) Leachate is stored in a lined on-site leachate management pond. The pond is secured by a locked chain link
fence. The gate was closed and locked during this Facility Compliance Inspection. The pond is well
maintained and no areas of erosion were observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
28) No off-site erosion was observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
29) *Corrective measures are required as a result of this Facility Compliance Inspection.
