Washington County Solid Waste staff were on-site during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
3) The Facility access road is of all-weather construction and is being maintained in overall good condition at
this time.
4) Conditions remain largely uncharged since my previous Facility Compliance Inspection.

were readily accessible, painted with high visibility paint, properly labeled, and secured with functional locks.
6) Permanent edge-of-waste markers have been installed as required and are being maintained around the toe of
the landfill disposal area.
7) A cover-crop of native warm season grasses has been established and overall is well maintained throughout
the landfill.
8) The cover crop is mowed throughout the year as needed.
9) Small trees and other brushy vegetation were observed growing on the southern portion of the western
sideslope. Brushy vegetation was observed growing on the southern portion of the eastern sideslope. *Plans
need to be underway for the mowing of these areas to clear all woody brush and vegetation from the landfill.
All outside slopes should be maintained at a slope not greater than 3:1 with a groundcover of native warms
season grasses suitable to prevent erosion of your landfill cap system.
10) Due to the current dry weather conditions, no areas of ponding/standing water were observed on the top lift of
the landfill, however, the presence of wetlands dependent plants growing in the settled areas suggests the
presence of standing water under normal circumstances. *As per our conversation, please continue fill and
grade these areas to promote positive drainage of surface waters away from the landfill. All filled areas should
be seeded and mulched to establish a groundcover suitable to prevent erosion of your landfill cap system.

11) Scrap concrete, concrete block, and brick is staged on-site in an area adjacent to the landfill for future
grinding/crushing and re-use. The majority of the recyclable materials are transported to the Washington
County C&D Landfill, permit #94-04 and re-used in roadbuilding activities. *Please note that the State rules
regarding recovered materials state that for a material to qualify as a recovered material, the majority of the
material (75% or more) must be sold, used, or re-used within twelve months of staging at the site. If the
required volume of materials is not re-used within twelve months, then the materials must be properly
disposed at a Facility permitted to receive such wastes.
12) No off-site erosion was observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
13) *Corrective measures are required as a result of this Facility Compliance Inspection.
