ADDITIONAL COMMENTS;

01 - Permit to Operate, Compost Type 2. A Change of Ownership was done on August 12, 2015 and permit expired on
January 12, 2016. Renewal Application has been sent to DWM Permitting. John College, while on-site on last
inspection dated April 28, 2017, called and spoke with Donna Wilson, DWM permitting. Permit renewal is in process
was the answer. For this report, Laserfiche was searched by John College, but did not find a new issued permit.
02 - The facility is well secured by gates fences and berms. The site has signs with all required information displayed.
03 - This facility has a Plant Manager (Julius D. Leary) who is onsite during operating hours that are Monday – Friday,
7:30am to 4:00pm.
04 - Interior roadways appear to be in good condition. Per our conversation onsite today, you do need to continue efforts
on the access road on the North side of the yard drivable to ensure vehicular access is available in the event of a fire and
for leachate monitoring. Continue efforts (as weather allows) to get road finished on North Side. West side looks good.
South side still needs a bit more work also.
