General Comments
Comments The facility has reorganized a lot since the last inspection. The working face
was a manageable size and daily soil is being placed. The green waste pile
is burned in the winter when snow is on the ground and under the
supervision of the fire marshal. The facility is lacking an unapproved
materials sign and will order one. The facility continues to work to improve
and organize as they evaluate the need to convert to a Class I landfill. A
scale has been installed but is not operational to this point. A gate house
will be set up next to the scale and electricity will be run to the scale in the
upcoming months.
