The facility is secured by a locked gate. Personnel are on site during operating hours. The facility has all required information on signs. 3. The facility is operated by TRANS-ASH Corporation which is responsible for hauling materials to the landfill, daily operations of the landfill, and conducting other associated activities.

Chimney drains convey the flow of leachate to the leachate control system. The facility limits the active portion of the landfill to approximately 21 acres to reduce total leachate. Leachate is being treated by an onsite waste water treatment plant. 8. The access road to the site was of all-weather construction and maintained in good condition. 9. Dust was being well controlled at the time of the inspection. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
