ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. The pre-operations inspection was performed to confirm the completion of Phase 2 – Cell 5 and its status and
condition.
2. The draft Permit to Operate and the revised Operations Plan were reviewed prior to conducting the field
inspection of the new cell.
3. Discussions focused on changes in the permit language, and Mr. Chao explained that these changes had been
adopted as a part of the format for all life of site permits.
4. The new Permit to Operate will be issued as a life of site permit.
5. The field inspection was made from the top of the slope of the new cell looking over it toward the currently
active Cell 4.

Top: View from atop the side slope of the new Cell 5. Note the dark green "wind defender" fabric in
place on the slope. The working face of the active Cell 4 is visible in the background.
Bottom Left: Gravel tipping area.
Bottom Right: Clean-out set in concrete sleeve and surrounded by matting.

6. A large portion of this slope was covered with “wind defender,” a synthetic fabric used to channel the wind and
avoid damage to the slope and liner that might otherwise result.
7. A gravel access road and tipping area had been created for use in filling the first lift.
8. Side slopes were properly graded with vegetative cover already well established.
9. A repair area was visible on the far slope, as well as a few small rills. Mr. Dingman confirmed that side slopes
will be maintained regularly in order to prevent erosion from occurring.
10. Mr. Chao stated that the CQA document and the field inspection confirmed that the new cell is ready for use.
Mr. Gibson estimated that Cell 5 would likely begin receiving waste in July or August 2017.
