SITE NAME: Airport West / North Temple Landfill
SITE LOCATION: Salt Lake City
DATE OF SITE VISIT: 20 & 23 June 2025
PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT: DERR (David Bird) oversight of field activities at the Airport West VCP site.
FIELD OBSERVATIONS: On 20 June, at ~8:45 am, the DERR met with ET Design (Sam Bernard and Bill
Calloway) at the on-site construction trailer. The placement of landfill waste in the Repository area was
proceeding. We then traveled toward the east within Phase I and inspected Cell 207 where excavation
was on-going.
Cell 200 was inspected next. Excavation is not complete here, but there is an area where waste has
been extracted, and leachate of varying depths is present. A water truck was receiving water from this
cell to be transported to the leachate evaporation system. ET indicated that orange snow fence will be
placed around this cell to discourage wildlife from entering the area.
The crushing of concrete in the southwest portion of the site was continuing.
The DERR left the site at ~10 am.
The DERR also attended the weekly construction meeting held on-site at 2 pm on 23 June. Updates on
progress of the work were given, as were issues that need to be resolved. For example, the need for a
Sampling and Analysis Plan with its accompanying Standard Operating Procedures before confirmation
samples are collected from the bottoms of landfill cell excavations was discussed. Wasatch
Environmental will produce this document for DERR review. The DERR left the site at ~3:30 pm.
SPLIT SAMPLES COLLECTED: No
IS THE WORK BEING PERFORMED IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE ACCEPTED WORKPLAN?
