3. Waste screening reports were reviewed and verified. The facility does not accept many unacceptable waste items.
All prohibited/unacceptable items are loaded back onto the incoming truck and hauled out of the facility.
4. The facility had two expired operator certifications posted at the time of the inspection. Mr. Pernell stated that one
had completed training, but he was waiting on his certificate to arrive. The second person had changed positions
and had not renewed his certificate. Ensure that current operator certificates are posted and updated or
removed as needed. The following are facility certified personnel:

5. Some windblown waste and grit were observed near the drains of the leachate collection system, at the bottom of
the apron. Ensure that the waste and grit are removed so that the leachate collection system functions
properly.
6. Fencing had been installed along the curbing of the transfer trailer bays to assist in catching windblown waste from
the transfer trailer bays. Continue to ensure that the windblown waste is removed from the fencing at the end
of the operating day.
7. Windblown waste was observed along the southern perimeter fencing. Mr. Pernell stated that the dumpsters stored
in the area to the south of the transfer station had recently been repaired. The dumpster bottoms had been cut out
and replaced, which caused the windblown waste. Mr. Pernell provided the Section with photographs of the
windblown waste that was removed from the southern perimeter fencing. Ensure that the windblown waste is
picked up at the end of the operating day.
8. Some waste was observed within the transfer trailer bays. The transfer trailer bays are cleaned out between trailer
loads and at the end of the day. Continue to remove waste from the transfer trailer bays as needed throughout
the day and at the end of the day.
9. The condition of the tipping floor is consistent with the daily operations of the facility. All waste is removed from
the tipping floor at the end of the operating day. The tipping floor is also washed at the end of the operating day.
10. Since the last inspection, the metal of the southern exterior wall of the transfer station had been removed. The
vertical supports were identified to be bent and waste was between the push wall and the exterior metal. The support
beams were repaired or replaced as needed and the waste was removed. New exterior metal siding was installed
along the southern wall of the transfer station. Continue to make repairs to the building as needed and required
by the Transfer Station Assessment Report.
11. Digital photographs were taken during the inspection.
