KRD Trucking understands and accepts the responsibility to comply with the Polk Transfer Station permit. Section 59.2(c) of Session Law 2013-413 requires containers used to collect and transport solid waste to "be designed and maintained to be leak -resistant in accordance with industry standards." KRD Trucking does recognize where it had a problem containing leachate on site in a trailer and deeply regrets the deficiency. KRD is committed to compliance in this situation and does not want to compromise the facility's ability to ensure protection of the public health and the environment. As stated in the NOD, KRD Trucking is required to take corrective action within 10 days of the issue date of: January 11, 2016. The following corrective action plan outlines action already taken as well as proposed action to ensure continued and effective compliance with section 59.2(c) of Session Law 2013-413. Immediately after being informed of the initial results of the inspection KRD assessed the condition of the trailers located at Polk County for additional deficiencies. No other issues were found at the time. • Trailer #T-243 was brought to the KRD Piedmont shop and repaired on same day on January 05, 2016. See Exhibit 1.0 KRD Repair order • A meeting was held at Polk County Transfer Station on January 19, 2016 to discuss the current status of operations and proposed waste transfer operations to ensure compliance of permit conditions and the operations plan of Waste Management Facility 75-04T- Transfer-2005. All items in this plan were discussed and mutually agreed upon during this meeting. In attendance for the County was Larry Walker, and for KRD was Jim Woods. KRD realizes that our industry is harsh on equipment. The loading of MSW into open top trailers will cause damage to the trailer that ultimately can cause leachate to escape. We have designed and are proposing for experimental use a Leachate Wagon to be available to place under any given trailer found to have developed a leak. This Wagon can be placed under a trailer that has developed a leak and then rolled over to the loading pit to be drained in an area where leachate is designed to be collected. The wagon is designed with baffles to reduce spillage when being moved and also has a drain on the underside to allow for controlled release into designated areas. This Wagon has been ordered and is being specially made for the Polk County Transfer Station. It will be delivered upon completion, anticipated completion date will be before Feb 15, 2015 Exhibit 2.0 All trailers will be inspected daily by the driver— deficient trailers that pose a leak hazard will be removed from the site same day and repairs completed in a timely fashion. Any leaking trailer will not be returned to Polk County before necessary repairs are completed. KRD recognizes that proper training of its personnel is essential to the success of any program. All KRD employees at the Piedmont facility will be trained on this action plan for Polk County and will be shared with Polk County employees. The training will include the communication of Polk County's expectation of KRD to comply with the permit requirements regarding leak -resistant containers. The training will also include all parts of this plan regardless of the assigned duties of employee so the total scope of KBD's requirements is understood by all. Training for employees assigned to Polk County will be completed immediately and all other employees by January 29th 2016. Exhibit 3.0 Also, KRD Trucking will make every effort to keep the following trailers at the Polk County Transfer for easy identification: • 473 • 294 243 • 345 • 245 If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
