progress. Nearly all new solid waste received at this facility came from the
incinerator waste.

Comments The facility has multiple permits for different agencies.
The only major issue under the Solid Waste Permit was the handling of high
liquids in the landfill cell. Liquids were running (channeling) out the side of
the landfill cell and into one of the overflow ponds. This was more of an
issue with their DOGM permit not allowing leachate from a landfill cell to
enter into an evaporation pond or surface impoundment. The new rules
were later approved under DWMRC Rules that this would be allowed once
surface impoundments used for evaporation transferred over to DWMRC.
However, during the time of the inspection this was not permitted by
DOGM.
