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
(S ec tion V.–P erformanc e S tand ard s ), 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.
aAttach 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:
There was no evidence of unpermitted discharges to air, water, land or other natural resources observed during the inspection nor
were there dust, odor or litter nuisance conditions identified.
There were no deviations from any approvals, plans or Consent Orders observed during the inspection.
The Phase 2B Landfill is operated as a bale-fill for residuals from the on-site Co-Compost Facility.When bales are delivered to the
Landfill for disposal, they are placed directly within the lined Landfill cell.There is no waste stored at the Landfill prior to disposal.
There is little activity at the Landfill on a daily basis.Baled residuals are brought to the Landfill for disposal when a sufficient
quantity has accumulated within the Co-Compost Facility building.
The Phase 2B Landfill was in good condition at the time of inspection.Operations are in conformance with the ATO and the O&M
Plan.
There were no residuals being disposed of at the time of the inspection.
The liner system associated with the Phase 3A Expansion is complete and construction is underway for the Phase 2B Berm
Completion.Geosynthetic liner system materials are being installed.
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: Records are maintained at the office including truck scale receipts for incoming and outgoing materials.Records are
also maintained for the quantity of residual waste brought to Phase 2B for disposal.To the best of my knowledge,there have been
no special incidents or complaints reported in the recent past.
