VI. Inspection Observations
A. FACILITY CONDITION AND OPERATIONS
Examine and evaluate the facility condition and operations as observed during the inspection, including the following:
Describe any evidence of the following conditions observed at the time of the inspection:
•Unpermitted discharges to air, water, land or other natural resources of the Commonwealth; and
•Dust, odors, litter, and/or other nuisance conditions.
Document and discuss all deviations from any specific requirements for the facility that are not addressed in the previous section
(Section V.–Performance Standards), including without limitation, the requirements set forth in the facility’s operation and
maintenance plan, orders or other enforcement documents, and other solid waste permits, approvals, and authorizations issued to
the facility by MassDEP.
List the types and estimated quantities of all waste and materials stored at the facility at the time of the inspection.
Provide a narrative that describes the overall status of the general condition, operation and performance of the facility as
observed at the time of the inspection.
Attach photographs taken during the inspection that depict the general condition and operation of the facility. At a minimum, include
photographs, as applicable, of the waste unloading (tipping) area, waste storage areas, recyclable material storage and, for transfer
stations, the waste reloading activity.
Discussion: Photographs are included of the unloading area within the building and the recyclable materials storage areas.
B. RECORD REVIEW
Examine and evaluate the facility’s record-keeping. Without limitation, document the status of the facility’s compliance with, and any
deviations from, the record-keeping required by 310 MCR 19.000; the facility’s operation and maintenance plan; orders or other
enforcement documents issued to the facility; and other solid waste permits, approvals, determinations and authorizations issued to the
facility by the Department, including the following:
Discuss the evaluation of the Facility’s “daily log” such as, daily tonnage records.
List and discuss any special incidents that have occurred since the previous inspection such as exceedances of the facility’s
permitted waste acceptance limits, nature and outcome of complaints reported to the facility operator (including the identity of the
complainant, if known), fires, emergencies, or other disruptions to the routine operation of the facility.
Discussion: Excellent records are maintained on incoming and outgoing waste materials and recyclables and for waste ban load
inspections. These records are maintained on site and were reviewed during the inspection. There were no exceedances to the
approved daily tonnage limit during the past six (6) month period.
