Dear Mr. Anderson:
This Request for Information is being sent to your attention as a representative of Ogden City Corporation (the Respondent).According to the Division of Waste Management and Radiation
Control’s (Division) records, you are the designated contact person for the Respondent. On September 4, 2024, a representative of the Division conducted a compliance evaluation inspection
at the Respondent’s Moulding & Sons Landfill (Landfill). The scope of the inspection was to verify compliance with Utah Administrative Code R315 and the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste
Act (the Act).
The Division representative was informed of an area within the Landfill boundary and along the Ogden River potentially indicative of fluvial erosion. During the inspection, the landfill

this layer should consist of at least 6 inches of soil capable of sustaining vegetative growth placed over the compacted soil cover and seeded with grass, other shallow rooted vegetation
or other native vegetation, or other suitable materialapproved by the Director of the Division (Director). Additionally, R315-303-3(4)(b)(ii) requires that erosion channels deeper than
10% of the total cover thickness shall be repaired as soon as possible following their discovery for any earthen final cover at a landfill.
