FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 5 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: 01 – This Yard Waste Notified site was YWN98-001. 02 – Renewal information was not sent in for past several years by Envirolink staff that managed this facility. 03 – A new application was submitted and given this NEW ID. YWN98-007. 04 – From Last Inspection Report: The site is currently under major renovation (Land grading, screening yard waste of bags, windrowing and grinding of large waste) to be in compliance. This Inspection: The land grading and screening has stopped. No materials have been ground and windrows are just piles. Sorting out bags of leafs has been taking place, but all bagged leafs are just piled up with no bag removal. These bags will breakdown and then there will be plastic into the compost. This is an unacceptable practice. Bags are in need of removal. 05 – There was non-conforming waste noted during this inspection. This site can only receive vegetative waste. 06 – From Last Inspection Report: The facility is lacking Security (Locking gates or cables) at 2 entrances.
