to prevent erosion of your landfill cap system.

continue to monitor the landfill for areas of differential settlement and make repairs to these areas as needed.
11) Several small areas of ponding/standing water were observed on the top lift of the landfill. *As per our
conversation, as soon as conditions enable repair activities to continue, please continue working to fill and
grade these areas to promote positive drainage of surface waters away from the landfill.
