9. The facility maintains semiannual groundwater and surface water monitoring records. Records for sampling events
conducted on April 9, 2015, October 26, 2015, and April 27, 2016 were verified.
10. The facility conducts methane monitoring quarterly. Methane monitoring records were verified for samplings taken
on April 27, 2016 and July 11, 2016. No exceedances noted.
11. The facility conducts waste screenings of 1 percent of truck loads received. Waste screening records were verified
for January 4, 2016 through August 4, 2016.
12. Cover logs noting the date and time of placement were being kept on a calendar in the breakroom that was
accidentally thrown out when someone was cleaning up. Calendar page will be printed for cover log monthly and
maintained in a binder in the scale house to prevent this from occurring in the future.
13. The working face was being well managed and was not exceeding the ½ acre size limit. Six inches of earthen
material should be properly applied once weekly or when the working face reaches ½ acre.
14. The waste type was reviewed and was construction and demolition waste. No unacceptable waste streams were
noted.
15. Leachate breakout occurred on south side of landfill the week of August 8, 2016. Breakout was repaired
immediately, then occurred again so facility dug down and found large piece of carpet causing the problem. Breakout
was repaired again, properly covered, and graded.
16. Windblown waste is being well-managed, collected and returned to the working face prior to close of business
daily. Good job!
17. The erosion and sedimentation control measures were reviewed. No off-site sediment was noted.
18. The edge of waste markers are installed and being maintained around the entire landfill.
19. Yard waste area being properly managed. Non-compostable bags should be removed from yard waste area.
20. I would strongly recommend that the yard waste, after grinding, be used as a soil amendment on the sandy soils at
this facility. This mulch acts to amend the soil promoting plant growth and assists in controlling on-site erosion.
Yard Waste distributed to the public must go through the composting process that includes recordation of
temperatures.
21. A perimeter road has been established around the entire footprint of the landfill. Facility operations include a daily
check of the entire landfill perimeter for any maintenance issues including locks on monitoring wells. The
perimeter road is being well maintained.
