Facility is currently operating in Phase IV (on top of closed unlined MSWLF – Phase II).

The waste type observed was correct at the time of this inspection. 8. There were some settled, bare and eroding areas observed on the landfill at the time of this inspection. Bare and eroded should be repaired. Settled and subsided areas need to be repaired as well. Southeastern side of landfill has a few low areas that will be filled with soil and graded to the proper slope of 4 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical) side slopes. Recommend that you monitor these areas for leachate issues until conditions improve enough to repair them properly. 9. Yard waste area is being used but needs proper grading for drainage. Remember, according to the approved operations plan, yard waste must be stored at a max height of 15 feet, width of 50 feet, at any time, 25-foot buffer from drainage ditches, swales and other piles. The total amount of waste including raw and processed must be maintained at less than 4,000 tons annually in this area. 10. Concrete is being crushed and used to build up roads onsite. Unacceptable waste (painted block) was observed mixed in with the concrete during this inspection and must be removed for proper disposal before crushing. 11. Several monitoring wells were observed during inspection. “Environment One” does ground water sampling. Some older sampling was reviewed while onsite. 12. Mobile Home Deconstruction area was clean and nothing present during inspection. 13. Monitor wells observed during this inspection had tags and locks as required.
