The piles are primarily leaves and tree trimmings from Parks Department operations that have been deposited there over many years. We are trying to find a solution to remove those piles quickly and cost effectively. One solution the City is considering chipping tree trimmings and spreading the wood chips and the leaves over the landfill cover. Anything that is not organic waste would be separated and properly disposed of offsite. The City has had a policy of not disposing any waste over the landfill area since the landfill closed. However, given the budget and time constraints we are faced with now, it would be a great if we could use the landfill area to dispose of this green waste. The landfill is outside the Phase 2 VCP boundaries, but I wanted to keep you informed and see if you have any concerns with this. Also, is there another agency or program at DEQ that should be informed of this? Thank you for your input.

It's not in the VCP yet so I would imagine that whatever they decide is fine. Should there be another DEQ division notified?

Let me reach out to someone in DWMRC and see if they have any thoughts. 3/3/25, 7:28 AM State of Utah Mail - Phase 2 TOSV/ Green Waste Piles https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=e22438591e&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f:1823356358449061063&simpl=msg-f:18233563584490610…2/4 Also, our financial office has notified us of a $2,500 payment from Tim Stay for "The Other Side Village Phase 2". Is the City expecting to submit a VCP application for the property soon?

I am reaching out to you regarding some organic landfill waste at one of our VCP sites. The site is part of the former Redwood Road Dump, a historical municipal/green waste landfill owned by SLC. We are currently working on a VCP application for a second phase of the project, which will be expanding further into the landfill area. However, it is my understanding that some of the landfill will still be outside of the VCP boundaries. Salt Lake City, who's the applicant, has reached out and asked if they are able to manage some of the green waste on the site by chipping tree trimmings and spreading the wood chips and the leaves over the landfill cover outside of our VCP project boundaries. Anything that is not organic waste would be separated and properly disposed of off-site. The email I received from the City is attached below. Bill Rees had asked that I reach out and see if your office had any input to this approach. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I appreciate your help.

They are hoping to find an answer this week. Please let me know if you had any thoughts or would like me to reach out to anyone else. Thanks!

Yard waste is typically composted, disposed of in a landfill, or burned according to a DAQ burn permit. 3/3/25, 7:28 AM State of Utah Mail - Phase 2 TOSV/ Green Waste Piles https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=e22438591e&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f:1823356358449061063&simpl=msg-f:18233563584490610…3/4 Utah Admin. Code R315-301-2(91): "Yard waste" means vegetative matter resulting from landscaping, land maintenance, and land clearing operations including grass clippings, prunings, and other discarded material generated from yards, gardens, parks, and similar types of facilities. Yard waste does not include garbage, paper, plastic, processed wood, sludge, septage, or manure. Since I don't have a lot of information on this, here are some questions I recommend you consider: Has the property owner consented to this plan, and are there potential impacts for a future buyer that need to be considered? What kind of communication will there be with the neighbors (e.g., should there be an opportunity to contest or comment on it)? Will nuisance odor of material decay need to be managed? If the VCP needs WMRC Director approval, please also let me know: Where is it (is there a drawing, or at least a lat/long I can consider)? How much material is there, and what is the extent of the area that it will be spread? Let me know if we can be of further assistance.
