Re: Permit Renewal Application for Wayne County Long-Hollow Class II Landfill –
Response to Completeness Review Comments

Dear Douglas,

We appreciate the Division’s review of the permit renewal application for the Wayne County
Long-Hollow Class II Landfill. The comments have been reviewed, and the necessary updates
and revisions to the application have been made to address the identified deficiencies.

To assist you further, we have prepared a detailed response document addressing each of the
comments provided in the Division’s letter. The Division's comments are shown in italicized text,
while Ensign’s responses are shown in bold.

Comments –
1. R315-310-3(1)(b) - Plans and drawings of the facility were not included. Please submit
plans and drawings that include current ell locations, cell names, and descriptions, and
the current landfill boundary. For example, the plans and drawings should include the
location of the dead animal pit, household waste, yard waste, etc..
a. Exhibit 1B General Facilities Map has been created and attached in the
exhibits section of the report to address missing facility details. Locations
of current cell locations are clearly marked on the exhibit.
2. R315-310-4(2)(b)(iii),(iv) -Please provide the depths to ground water or aquifers and the
direction and flow rate of ground water.
a. Previous Section 3.4 Groundwater is now Section 4.4 Groundwater,
containing expanded details on groundwater direction and flow.
Specifically, test pits indicated no groundwater within 15 feet, with regional
data suggesting depths exceeding 300 feet. Geological formations in this
area significantly limit groundwater movement, which aligns with local flow
dynamics and confined aquifer conditions.
3. R315-310-4(2)(a)(i) -The topographic map provided does not include the locations for
the gas monitoring points and the borrow and fill areas. Please update the map to
include this.
a. Refer to the updated map in Exhibit 1A. In alignment with previous permits,
gas monitoring has not been required for the Long Hollow Landfill, and we
request the same exemption in this renewal application, as the landfill’s
conditions and operating characteristics remain unchanged. Gas
monitoring points are not shown on this exhibit as they do not exist.
4. R315-310-4(2)(c)(ii) - Section 4.3 of the Permit Application indicates that the anticipated
facility life cannot be accurately estimated and is considered to be 10 years for the
permit renewal. However, Section 2.3 of the Permit Application indicates each new cell

www.ensigneng.com

Page 2
is designed to provide approximately 10 years of capacity, similar to the initial cells.
Using this information, please recalculate the facility’s life.
a. Previous Section 4.3 Facility Life is now Section 5.3 Facility Life. The
facility life has been recalculated based on the number of future cells, with
each providing approximately 10 years of capacity. Please refer to the
updated now Section 5.3 of the permit application for the detailed
calculation, which now projects the landfill’s remaining life to be 100 years.
5. R315-302-1(2)(a)(i) - Section 3.6 describes no perennial streams, rivers, or permanent
surface waters exist within proximity of the landfill, however, the Custom Soil Resource
Report Soil Map shows a stream within the landfill boundary and within 1,000 feet of the
“Future Class II Cell” locations. Please provide more detail about the stream such as
what controls are being taken place during rainy season to prevent water from impacting
landfill cells, and if he stream is seasonal or contains year-round flow. Please review
R315-302-1(3) for exemption requirements and provide a request and justification for
any proposed.
a. Previous Section 3.6 has been updated to 4.6. Section has been updated to
reflect the stream shown on the Custom Soil Resource Report Soil Map.
This stream is intermittent and only flows during rainy seasons or runoff
events. For further details, please refer to the updated Section 3.6.
b. We are requesting an exemption from the 1,000-foot requirement under
R315-302-1(3) for the intermittent stream located on the northern boundary
of the landfill. The stream is classified as seasonal and intermittent, flowing
only portions of the year. There are natural topographical barriers,
including a 10-15 foot elevation difference and roads, as well as engineered
stormwater control measures that prevent surface runoff from impacting
the landfill. These factors justify the request, ensuring that there are
sufficient protections in place to mitigate any potential risk.
6. R315-302-2(2)(a) - Section 2.3 Schedule of Construction does not adequately address
the schedule of construction for the new proposed cells. Please provide more details on
when these cells will be constructed as well as a provision stating the Division will be
informed prior to the construction of a new cell.
a. Section 2.3 has been updated to address the anticipated schedule of
construction as well as provide a provision stating the Division will be
informed prior to the construction of a new cell.
7. R315-302-2(2)(b) - Section 2.10 Tires, indicates waste tires will be stockpiled until a
sufficient amount is accumulated. Please provide information demonstrating the facility
will meet the recycling requirements of R315-312-2(3), and will not exceed 1,000 tires
unless approved according to R315-314. Section 2.11 Special Waste indicates sludges
will be accepted if they contain no free liquids. Please provide how this determination will
be made such as using the Paint Filter Liquids Test and the records management
process.
a. Section 2.10 and 2.11 have been updated to address the comments.
8. R315-302-2(2)(h) - Section 2.8 Household and Commercial Waste indicates wind fences
are placed around the working face of the household/ commercial waste cell for littler

Signage is posted to inform the public and staff of these
prohibitions. Trained landfill personnel actively monitor for and
enforce compliance during operational hours.
To meet the staffing requirements set forth in R315-303-4(2)(f), the
landfill ensures that trained staff are present on-site during all open
hours. For landfills receiving less than 15,000 tons of waste
annually, at least one trained operator is on-site whenever the
landfill is open to the public. Additional personnel are scheduled as
necessary to maintain compliance and operational safety standards.
