2. All areas of the facility were easily accessible. Roadways are well maintained and vegetation is regularly mowed.
3. The facility has well-established vegetative cover, and no signs of erosion were observed. Slope drains appeared to
be functioning. No ponding water was observed on the top or at the toe of the landfill.
4. Horse trails have been developed in this closed area of the facility, and access is provided to the public by means of
an automatic gate from Lower Lake Road. At the time of this inspection, the electronic gate was not functioning
due to vandalism. Mr. Sink stated that Thomas Marshburn, Davidson Co. Parks Dept., was working to have the
gate repaired. Ensure that the public access gate is repaired and back in working order in a timely manner to
remain in compliance.
5. Six passive landfill gas vents are located in Area 1 of the facility, and were observed to be easily accessible and
functioning.
6. Ground water monitoring wells 1, 7,2 and 9 were observed. Each was visible and easily accessible, properly
labeled and locked. Mr. Sink stated that the consulting engineers, Smith-Gardner, had replaced the well locks in the
spring of 2016.
7. The semi-annual ground water monitoring records were reviewed for sampling events that occurred September 21-
25, 2015 and March 23-24, 2016. The report for the fall 2016 sampling event had not yet been received. The most
recent report, covering the March 2016 sampling event, was submitted by Pilot Environmental and sampled 16
monitoring wells and 3 surface water sites. Results revealed exceedance of the 2L standard for cobalt and
chromium, as well as 6 volatile organic compounds.
8. DS29-002, the temporary disaster debris storage site located adjacent to the facility was also inspected. The site
was found to be adequately secured with a gate and was easily accessible. Mr. Sink stated that the site had been
more than adequate to handle the storm debris brought to the facility in 2014, when it was last activated.
