previous Facility Compliance Inspection (please see FCIR 0703_INSP_20170105) have been repaired. The
repaired areas on the northwestern side of the transfer station appear to have been completed in such a way as
to prevent further erosion, however, the repair on the southeastern side of the transfer station has been
damaged by recent rain events. *As per our conversation, please repair all newly eroded areas by filling,
grading, seeding and mulching to establish a groundcover suitable to prevent erosion. Mechanisms may need
to be installed to better control and direct surface waters on-site to prevent future erosion issues.

Facility Compliance Inspection collecting windblown debris. *Please continue to ensure that all windblown
debris is collected at the end of each workday or more often if needed and properly disposed.
