17 – Trailers with stored waste were in 2 different areas. 1 was next to pond and the other 1 was in the normal loaded
trailer area East of the transfer station. Some leachate from the one East of the transfer station was being captured from
leaking trailer into a trough, some may be in ponded rainwater from prior trailer. Please capture and dump in leachate
storage tanks. No leaks found at the trailer by the pond but it would be best not to store loaded trailers there because of
the potential of leachate from a leaking trailer could enter the pond if not caught.
