ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
On May 4, 2022, Chuck Kirchner met with Mike McFeeley to conduct a compliance inspection of the Great Oak Landfill per the March 10, 2022 Notice of Violation.
1. Facility is now in compliance with the Notice of Violation issued on March 22, 2022 for violations observed on March 10, 2022.
2. Liner installation in phase 6 and phase 7 is expected to be complete at the end of the day. 3. Mr. McFeeley stated that the sump would be installed next and then the protective layer would be installed. Waste Management is expecting to complete this work and all remaining permitting requirements by the end of May and begin placing waste in this area in June. 4. The working face was observed to be small and compact. 5. A very minimal amount of windblown material from current activity was observed outside of the working face. Ensure this material is returned to the working face at the conclusion of each day of operation. 6. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
