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: Waste Options Nantucket, LLC was performing required periodic maintenance and repair of the digester unit at the time of inspection. The digester was off-line pending completion of this maintenance work. Municipal solid waste (MSW) continues to be accepted during the digester shut down period as there are no other resources available on the island for MSW management. MSW is received within the Aeration Building where compost curing usually takes place. This building is equipped with floor drains and an effective air handling and treatment system. The aeration building is under constant negative pressure through the use of 2 large air handling blowers. All inside air is conveyed to the adjacent Bio- Filter Building for treatment and odor prevention. The MSW within the aeration building was being managed in a neat and orderly manner. It will be transferred to the tipping floor building and digester once maintenance is complete. 1. There were no unpermitted discharges to air, water, land or other natural resources observed at the time of inspection. 2. There were no dust, odors, litter, and/or other nuisance conditions observed at the time of inspection. 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: Waste Options Nantucket, LLC maintains accurate records at the office of the Facility Manager. All incoming loads of material are weighed upon arrival and daily tonnages are recorded. There were no exceedances to the approved daily tonnage limit of 100 tons per day. There were no known complaints received at the facility and there were no occurrences of fire or other emergency. The operation of the co-compost facility is disrupted temporarily for period maintenance and repair of the digester unit.

Summary and Recommendations Pursuant to 310 CMR 19.018(6)(a)4., where a third-party inspector observes that the operation or maintenance of the facility deviates from the aforementioned applicable requirements, he or she shall document all such deviations and recommend corrective actions for the facility to take to return to compliance. A. INSPECTION RESULTS Based on the examinations and evaluations conducted in Sections V. and VI., please summarize the inspection results by checking one of the following determinations: No deviations from the applicable performance standards or additional requirements listed at 310 CMR 19.018(6) were identified during this inspection. If no deviations were identified during the inspection, check this box and proceed to Section VII.B. Deviations from the applicable performance standards or additional requirements listed at 310 CMR 19.018(6) were identified during this inspection and are discussed further in this report. If deviations were identified during the inspection, check this box and ensure that each deviation and the recommended corrective actions are discussed in the applicable section(s) below. B. STATUS OF PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION If a previous inspection report identified deviations with recommendations for corrective action, please describe the action(s) taken since the last inspection to return the facility to compliance with the applicable requirements. Discussion: N/A C. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION Based on the results of this inspection, please list all deviations noted during the inspection and provide recommendations for corrective action to return to compliance with the applicable requirement. Recommendations: The temporary shut-down of the digester for maintenance is a deviation from performance standards only in the sense that the facility was not operational during the inspection and that MSW is being managed within the aeration building. Routine operation will resume once maintenance is complete in approximately one week. D. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS Comments: N/A VIII. Additional Information Checklist Attach the following additional information, as applicable, to complete the inspection report.* Attach photographs taken during the inspection that depict the general condition and operation of the facility, as required in Section VI.A. For C&D Waste facilities only, attach the analytical results, as required in Section V.B. *Note: Pursuant to 310 CMR 19.018(8), MassDEP may request additional information.
