ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. In addition to yard wastes generated by Spain Farms, the site accepts yard waste from the City of Smithfield. 2. The access road to the facility is being managed properly at this time. 3. A sign has been installed at the facility. 4. Based on the most recent yard waste notification, the waste is ground, composted, then spread onto agricultural fields as a soil amendment. Based on the amount of waste observed on site, it appears that the yard waste has not been ground or utilized as identified since the last inspection. 5. Fire wood is stored outside of the 2-acre notification. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
