Waste must not be stored on the ‘tipping floor’ after hours.” RESOLVED: During this inspection, all incoming C&D waste was being dumped and processed on top of the newly repaired and expanded concrete “tipping floor” pad. The new section of the pad has been extended to accommodate a transfer trailer so that overspill of waste does not contact the ground, and concrete jersey barriers have been installed around the entire pad so that windblown waste can be contained. A manageable amount of waste was present on the pad at the time of this inspection. Mr. Messinger stated that all waste is removed by the end of each operating day. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 3 B. Permit to Operate, Attachment 3, Part VI (4) states: “The following, at a minimum, must not be accepted for transfer at the facility: hazardous waste, yard trash, liquid wastes, regulated medical waste, sharps not properly packaged…” RESOLVED: At the time of this inspection, no yard trash was observed at the transfer station, and the land clearing debris and inert debris stockpiles had been removed. C. Permit to Operate, Attachment 3, Part VI (9), “All water that comes into contact with solid waste, including vehicle wash-down water is leachate and must be captured and properly treated before release to the environment. (a) The leachate control system, such as floor drains, leachate collection devices, sanitary sewer connections, and leachate storage tanks, must be operational during facility operations. (b) The tipping floor must drain away from the building entrance and into the leachate collection system.” RESOLVED: A soil assessment plan and supporting documentation was submitted to and approved by the Section, impacted soils were removed, and subsurface soils were satisfactorily sampled and analyzed. Connal Boyd, Section Hydrogeologist, approved the sample results in an email dated 7/18/2023. The concrete pad has been repaired, expanded in size, and enclosed within concrete barriers to prevent waste and/or leachate from directly contacting the ground or surface waters.
