RE:Permit Renewal Extension Approval for the Rich County MSW LandfillSW124
Dear Mr. Weston:
On February 7, 2024 the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control received your request for an 18 month permit renewal extension (DSHW-2024-004591) for the Rich County MSW Landfill
based on the need to collect accurate data on the waste volume managed by the landfill, to have an engineer create plans for a Class 4 Construction and Demolition waste cell and potentially
upgrading the current Class 2 facility to a Class 1 facility as well as obtain the proper permissions to implement burning of green waste. This request is approved based on the following
timeline criteria:
Check in with the Division on May 7, 2024, to give an update on the initial steps that have been taken to achieve the County’s goals.
Check in with the Division on August 7, 2024, to give an update on progress that has been made, including current waste volume data, progress on Class 4 Construction and Demolition waste
cell application and steps that have been taken to obtain permission for burning of green waste.
Check in with the Division on November 7, 2024, to give an update on progress that has been made, including current waste volume data, progress on Class 4 Construction and Demolition
waste cell application and steps that have been taken to obtain permission for burning of green waste.
Check in with the Division on February 7, 2025, to give an update on progress that has been made, including application progress for either a Class I landfill or renewal of Class II
landfill based on waste volume study findings, progress on Class 4 Construction and Demolition waste cell application and steps that have been taken to obtain permission for burning
of green waste.
Check in with the Division on May 7, 2025, to give an update on progress that has been made, including application progress for either a Class I landfill or renewal of Class II landfill
based on waste volume study findings, progress on Class 4 Construction and Demolition waste cell and steps that have been taken to obtain permission for burning of green waste, and any
potential construction operations that have begun on new cells. Prior to construction, engineered plans must be submitted to the Director for approval (R315-301-5(1).
Check in with the Division on August 7, 2025, to give an update on progress that has been made, including construction progress for either a Class I or Class II waste cell, progress
on Class 4 Construction and Demolition waste cell and steps that have been taken to obtain permission for burning of green waste.
As discussed during the meeting, the current Class II waste cell is reaching capacity and it will be important to refer to the State of Utah Rules and Regulations (R315-302-3-4), as
well as the facility permit to ensure all conditions associated with cell closure are met.
This permit renewal extension is valid for 18 months from the date of this letter.
If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Shaw at [e-mail] or by phone at [phone].
Sincerely,
Douglas J. Hansen, Director
Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control
