ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The site is secured with a gate at the entrance; controlled access for safety.
2. The entrance and haul roads are being maintained to provide all-weather access.
3. The landfill side slopes and cap are being maintained to prevent erosion; however, there were some bare areas
noted. Within thirty days, these areas need to be addressed to allow for vegetative cover/growth.
4. An area of ponded water was noted on the cap, toward the westernmost side of the top of the landfill. This area
needs to be addressed to prevent ponding water on the cap.
5. Erosion control measures are being utilized, with no offsite sedimentation noted.
6. All monitoring wells observed were locked, as required.
7. Gas is extracted for power generation and utilized on-site.
