6. ACCEPTED WASTE
R315-301-2(10)
The Class IVb Landfill accepts for disposal construction/demolition waste, yard waste, inert waste and
dead animals as defined in R315-301-2(10). This includes waste generated from construction including
building materials used in construction. Construction related materials include packaging materials from
products, waste lumber, wallboard, boxes from appliances, empty paint cans, caulking tubes, and sealer
and adhesive cans "Empty'' is defined as no more than l0% of the product remaining inside the
container. Demolition waste is generated from the destruction of and remodeling of buildings and
houses. Demolition waste may include furnaces, piping, ducting and water heaters. Other acceptable
construction/demolition materials include untreated wood, including pallets and crates, bricks,
concrete, asphalt, rock, and non-asbestos roofing materials.

7. SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED WASTE
R315-303-3(1)(b)
Waste materials that are specifically excluded from being disposed of in the active area of the landfill
include household waste (municipal solid waste), contaminated soils, friable asbestos, tanks of any kind,
railroad ties, cardboard and metal not directly generated from construction or demolition activities,
furniture and electronics of any kind, treated lumber, hazardous wastes and sludge and liquids as
described in R315-303-3(1)(b).
The Lapoint landfill will accept and stockpile for recycling purposes tires, batteries and appliances.
Appliances containing refrigerants are placed in the metal recycling area of the landfill only after the
refrigerant has been removed by a State qualified business that has contracted with the County.
Removal of these recyclable materials from the landfill site is an on-going operation with recyclers.

8. INTENDED SCHEDULE OF CONSTRUCTION
R3I5-302-2(2)(a)
The landfill construction was started early in the year 1996, with the boundary of the landfill property
being half-fenced and continues in operation within the original permitted guidelines (Permit #9516R)
and the current operations as prescribed by this Permit.

9. PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Uintah County landfill Lapoint facility is operated Three (3) days a week in accordance with the
following schedule:
Monday 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Wednesday 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The facility is closed all holidays. Signs are posted at the entrance gate for public notification of the
landfill facility owner and operator, hours of operation, type of materials accepted by and excluded from
the landfill.

10. STANDARD PROCEDURE
R315-302-2(2)(b)
Persons disposing of waste at the landfill will comply with the following:
Vehicles delivering waste to the site will stop at the office located at the main gate on the access road
where a Landfill employee will inquire as to the contents of their load. The driver will be instructed
where to deposit each type of waste in the load. The driver will then follow the instructions given by the
Landfill employee. Signs have been installed directing patrons to the different disposal sites within the
Landfill to ensure that only appropriate waste is disposed of in each disposal site.

11. MEASUREMENT OF WASTE
R315-310-3(1)(f)
The Lapoint Landfill does not have a scale for weighing the waste loads. As an alternative, the operator
at the gate performs load counts on daily basis, making a record of the number, type, and maximum
volume of each delivery vehicle arriving at the site.

12. RANDOM LOAD INSPECTIONS
Inspection and Monitoring Schedule R3I5-302-2(2)(c) & R315-302-2(5)(a)
Example Inspection and Monitoring Forms R315-310-3(1)(g)
Landfill personnel are required to receive initial and periodic waste screening inspection training.
Currently Uintah County Employees are receiving their training through the Solid Waste Training
Institute, in Kaysville, Utah. Waste screening certificates of training received are kept in personnel files.
A visual inspection of each incoming load of waste material is made by the Gate House Attendant. The
load is visually inspected to identify unacceptable and excluded wastes to prevent unauthorized
disposal. In depth random inspections of incoming loads are conducted according to the schedule
established by the Landfill Supervisor. Currently the Landfill in Lapoint receives on average less than 10
vehicle loads of waste per day, one random load inspection is done per 20 loads of waste. Appropriate
protective gear is worn by Landfill personnel. The waste is spread out with landfill equipment or hand
tools and visually examined.
Loads will also regularly be surveyed at the tipping area. If a discharged load contains unacceptable
material, the discharger will be required to reload the material and remove it from the landfill. If Landfill
personnel are unable to determine who is responsible, the area where the illegal dump occurred will be
sectioned off. The unacceptable material will be moved to a designated area for identification and
prepared for proper disposal.
Any vehicle declared to contain, or suspected to contain unacceptable materials (liquid waste, sludge, or
hazardous waste) will be prevented from entering the disposal area unless the driver can provide
evidence that the waste is acceptable for disposal at the site. If the load contains unacceptable
materials, it will be rejected without discharging its load. At its sole discretion, the Landfill reserves the
right to reject any suspect load.
In compliance with R3l5-302-2(5)(a) the Landfill Supervisor will inspect the facility to minimize
malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of
waste to the environment or threaten human health. These inspections are conducted on a quarterly
basis or as needed. A Landfill Monitoring Form is kept as part of the operating record. A Landfill
Monitoring Form can be found in Appendix C.
Record Keeping and Reporting
The Landfill Supervisor shall maintain the following operating records for the landfill:
• Records of inspection and maintenance;
• Records of training and notification procedures;

13. UNACCEPTABLE WASTE FOUND
If a waste is found at the "face" that is unacceptable, the Landfill Supervisor is called immediately if
unstable wastes that cannot be handled safely or radioactive wastes are discovered or suspected. If the
Landfill Supervisor concurs, they will contact the Uintah County Hazmat Response Team (Hazmat).
If frequent violations are identified, additional random inspections will be scheduled at the discretion of
the Landfill Supervisor.
The Waste Inspection Form is completed. An example of a Waste Inspection Form can be found in
Appendix D.

14. EQUIPMENT
The Landfill primarily utilizes one (1) piece of heavy equipment (938G Loader) during the course of any
given day of landfill operations. As needed the Uintah County Road Department, and Cemetery
Department bring in additional heavy equipment at times when extra work is needed. Like construction
of new trenches or the need for new or improved roads. These pieces of equipment include a CAT D-7
Dozer, a CAT 623E Paddle Wheel, a CAT 4-16 Backhoe, a CAT 140G road Grader, 772 Bomag Compactor,
and a water truck. As the landfill is operated by the Uintah County, additional heavy equipment is
readily available for use at the landfill as required.

15. FIRE OR EXPLOSION CONTINGENCY PLAN
R315-302-2(2)(d)
The contingency plan in the event of a fire or an explosion on the landfill property shall include the
following preventative measures:
No open burning or smoking is allowed near the working face. Identifying and prohibiting the delivery of
hot materials to the landfill. Fires inside of the delivery trucks which result from spontaneous
combustion during the unloading process shall be isolated in as much as possible from the working face
of the landfill. Implementation and adherence with the waste cover schedule. Proper maintenance and
cleaning of the landfill equipment and providing for and maintaining fire extinguishers in the equipment
and other landfill vehicles.
The contingency plan in the event of a fire or an explosion on landfill property shall include the following
corrective measures:
All persons shall be evacuated from the impacted area with assistance and first aid treatment being
rendered to the injured as required. 911 and the Landfill Supervisor, who directly oversees the landfill
operation, shall be notified. The Landfill Supervisor in turn shall notify the Division of Solid and
Hazardous Waste and, if deemed necessary, the County Hazmat Response Team. Any on-site landfill
equipment, including the dozer, the loader, the paddle wheel scraper, loaders, and the water truck, will
be utilized to the fullest extent to isolate and combat the fire. The intent being to both cool the burning
material with water and smother the fire with earthen cover material.
Additional personnel and equipment shall be made available from the County Road Department, and
Cemetery Department to assist fire-fighting efforts as required. The nearest fire station to the landfill
property is located in Lapoint. Less than 5 miles.

16. FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL PLAN
R315-302-2(2)(s)
The landfill access road from Highway 121 to the landfill is gravel. All other roads on the landfill property
also consist of dirt, gravel and recycled ashalt which require dust mitigation. The County Road
Department water truck is used to water the access roads within the landfill facility at appropriate
intervals to prevent the migration of dust from the landfill property.

17. LITTER CONTROL AND COLLECTION PLAN
R315-302-2(2)(h)
The Landfill has implemented several preventive measures to help minimize and control wind-blown
litter. These measures include:
County ordinance requiring all loads coming to the landfill to be covered. Uncovered loads entering the
landfill are subject to an enforceable fine (double regular fee). Any municipal solid waste collected at the
landfill is placed in a roll-off dumpster which is regularly removed from the landfill site and emptied. The
landfill cover material of six (6) inches is placed as needed.
The landfill is fenced around half of its perimeter which assists in containing wind-blown litter within the
landfill property. We plan to fence the other half soon as possible. Landfill personnel perform daily litter
cleanup to keep the landfill and surrounding properties free from debris and litter.

18. HAZARDOUS AND PCB WASTE EXCLUSION PLAN
R315-302-2(2)(j)
Should hazardous or prohibited wastes containing PCB be discovered during random inspections or
during tipping, the Landfill Supervisor or his designee will contact the Uintah County Hazmat Response
Team (Hazmat). The situation will be turned over to Hazmat team once they arrive on scene. The
following procedures are only a recommended course of action; ultimately the procedures to be
followed will be directed by the Incident Commander. If the waste is still in the hauler’s vehicle, the
hauler is instructed as to appropriate disposal options.
If the waste has been deposited or is in the process of being deposited, the hauler will immediately stop.
The area will be evacuated, and Hazmat will assume control of the situation. If the hauler or generator is
no longer at the Landfill and is known to Landfill personnel, they are asked to retrieve the waste and
informed of the proper disposal options.
If the hauler or generator cannot be identified, the Landfill Supervisor arranges to have the waste
transported to the proper disposal site. A record of the identification and removal of all hazardous or
prohibited wastes containing PCB will be kept in the site operational records on the Waste Inspection
form. A copy of the Waste Inspection form can be found in Appendix D.
A copy of the Incident Report should be provided to the Landfill personnel by Hazmat after the incident
for their records. In the event the hazardous or prohibited waste containing PCB is discovered at the
Landfill after the hauler has left the property, the Landfill Supervisor or his designee will contact Hazmat.
The situation will be turned over to Hazmat once they arrive on scene.

19. PROCEDURES FOR CONTROLLING DISEASE VECTORS
R315-302-2(2)(k)
The Lapoint Landfill is a class IVb Landfill that does not accept M.S.W. so the vector problem is very
minimal. Dead animals received at the facility shall be deposited in a separate disposal trench and will
be covered daily with a minimum of six (6) inches of earth to prevent odors and the propagation and
harborage of rodents and insects.

20. ALTERNATIVE WASTE HANDLING
R315-302-2(2)(1)
Alternative waste handling procedures for periods when the landfill is not able to dispose of solid waste
will be similar to procedures for fires and explosions. Waste will be diverted to alternate disposal sites.
Alternative facilities may include the Uintah County Landfill in Vernal or K&K Sanitation's transfer station
in Ballard. Procedures will continue in this manner until operations at the landfill can return to normal.

21. COST DISCLOSURE FOR OPERATING THE LANDFILL
Utah Solid and hazardous Waste Act 19-6-108(9)(h)
The Lapoint Landfill has an annual budget of $25,000.00 per year, approximately. This budget is passed
through a public hearing, and County Commissioner meetings with public comment. This has been
sufficient to operate this landfill in the past. The budget comes from Uintah County through property
taxes, and fees collected at the Landfill.
22. CLOSURE PLAN & CLOSURE SCHEDULE
R315-310-3(1)(h) & R315-310-4(2)(d)(i)
A detailed closure schedule will be prepared as part of the final closure and post-closure maintenance
and monitoring plan. The following provides a summary of the currently anticipated closure schedule.
Signage posted at all points of access consistent with regulatory requirements at the time of closure.
These signs will be placed at least 60-days prior to closure, state the date of closure, identify alternative
waste disposal locations, and remain for at least 180 days after receiving the final load of construction
and demolition waste materials.
A public notice will be placed in a local newspaper with general circulation at least 6 days prior to
closure.
Preparation and completion of construction and quality assurance activities will likely occur at the time
each phase of closure takes place. Assuming that each closure phase will cover approximately 1 to 3
acres. It is anticipated that it will take about three to four weeks to complete.
Closure activities proposed for the construction and demolition of waste materials landfill include:
1) Complete the final filling of the particular phase of the project;
2) A final cover system will be completed as part of the landfill's closure activities. However, as the
operator plans to construct and use the landfill in separate phases, portions of the landflll will be
covered as they are completed;
3) The final slope of the top layer will be about 2 percent, and vegetative cover and erosion
control. The integrity of the final cover side slope will be maintained by the placement of a
vegetative cover layer to provide erosion control. The final slopes will be re-vegetated with an
application of drought tolerant seed mixes that can survive under normal precipitation
conditions without irrigation and fertilizers as specified on the landscape plans after the final
grading is complete;
4) Perform final grading on the landfill slope, and install final cover materials, compacted soil layer
and the erosion (vegetative) control final cover material, and installation of erosion and run-off
controls; and
5) Removal of any remaining structures and facilities that will not be required for closure and
post-closure activities, and Installation of final site security measures, such as, signs posted at all
points of access, locked perimeter gates, and fencing around the entire site.

23. CAPACITY OF SITE
R315-310-4(2)(d)(ii)
As previously discussed, the facility receives waste for the northwest section of Uintah County. The
waste stream for 2022 is listed in Table 1 below.
Year MSW (tons/day) C&D (tons/day) Total
2022 0.51 1.06 1.57

Note: tons/day are based on current days of operation of 3 per week.
The Lapoint Landfill Facility receives approximately 0.51 tons of MSW, which is then transferred to the
Vernal Class I Facility. The remaining 1.06 tons of C&D waste per operating day is disposed onsite. The
75-acre Facility lies just east of LaPoint along Highway 121. The permitted area is 75 acres and has a life
expectancy of over 50 years. The present capacity will be evaluated based on the permitted area, buffer
area, class IV disposal, animal waste disposal, landfill equipment, landfill facilities, manpower, recycling,
and compost /mulch.

24. PERMITTED AREA
The Facility currently operates on a 75-acre Class IVb permitted area. Under present conditions this
75-acre permitted area has a life expectancy of over 50 years.

25: FINAL INSPECTION BY REGULATORY AGENCIES
R315-310-4(2)(d)(iii)
As part of the landfill's closure process, the Division of Waste and Radiation Control or other regulatory
agency will need to do a final inspection on the Landfill.

26. POST CLOSURE CARE PLAN
R315-310-3(1)(h)
The County has set up a P.T.I.F. account for the purpose of having any expense that might arise during
the post closure time frame to be covered. Every year $6,000.00 is put into this account to adjust for
rising costs and inflation. Also, an outside audit is conducted every 4 years, by an engineering firm, to
keep our closure and post-closure estimates accurate. Our P.T.I.F. account currently has more money
than our closure, and post closure estimate.
See Appendix F for Financial Assurance Plan
See Appendix G for Post-Closure Cost Estimate

27. CHANGE TO RECORD OF TITLE, LAND USE, AND ZONING RESTRICTIONS
R315-310-4(2)(e)(v)
The Lapoint Landfill will file a detailed description of the closed site to the County Recorder's Office. The
site description will include:
• A map and description of the closed site and date closure was completed;
• Locations where the Closure and Post-closure maintenance plans can be obtained;
• Boundaries of each phase of construction and height and depth of construction and demolition
waste materials; and
• A statement the site is restricted to open space uses only, in accordance with the post-closure
maintenance plan.

28. POST CLOSURE MAINTENANCE
R315-310-4(2)(iii) & R315-3104(2)(e)(vi)
Final Cover and Integrity Inspections
Qualified personnel will inspect the final cover for signs of settlement and/or subsidence, erosion,
cracking, or other items that could adversely affect the integrity and effectiveness of the final cover.
Items requiring corrective action will be repaired and vegetative cover re-evaluated.
Run-off control system inspection
Qualified personnel will inspect the drainage system. Any malfunctions, such as separated pipes due to
differential settlement, sediment buildup in pipes and/or drop inlets and low points causing water
ponding will be corrected weather permitting.

IPaC Resource List
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat
(collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) jurisdiction
that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list may also
include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or
indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of
effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site-specific (e.g.,
vegetation/species surveys) and project-specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities)
information. Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for
the USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each
section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for
additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.
