which is required to have a permit pursuant to 415 ILCS 5/21(d), in a manner which resulted in

the following conditions:

A.

STATE OF ILLINOIS

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

NARRATIVE INSPECTION REPORT DOCUMENT

Date of Inspection:

07/28/2008

Inspector: Joy Bliton

Site Code: 1410175005

County: Ogle

Site Name: Veolia ES Orchard Hills Landfill, Inc. Time: 11:40 am – 1:25 pm

General Remarks

I arrived at the Orchard Hills Landfill at 11:40 am. I walked up to the scale

house. I could smell an odor from landscape waste. Ashley, the scale house

operator, called Gary LaBorde who drove to meet me. Gary and I drove over to

the working face.

The working face is located in Phase VI. As we drove toward the working face, I

noted piles of waste on the north side of the road. I inquired of Gary as to why

they were there. He said that rainwater had been ponding up there so they opened

up the waste in 3 pockets last Wednesday, July 23, 2008, to allow the water to

sink in. I noted a few tires on the slope also. We drove up to the working face.

Two tippers were being used. A load of processed landscape waste from Midwest

was unloading nearby to the working face. Midwest is the same as American

Wood Recycling. Gary said that Midwest is using an odor suppressant and

mixing it in with the yard waste. He also said that they have been adding

“Agricare” to their water trucks to help eliminate odors. He said the water trucks

will drive over flat areas within the cells and spray. He said that they have used it

in the past and that it worked pretty well then, so they thought that they would try

it again. They have been using it for about one month and Gary thought it seemed

to be working pretty well.

We got out of the truck and walked around the area where they dug pockets into

the waste for drainage. I explained to Gary that the waste needs to be covered

with dirt or tarps and not allow it to be exposed. We continued to walk the area

north of the road. There were a number of tires laying about. Gary pulled two

full tires out of the waste. Gary said that the last time they graded this area was

about 1 ½ weeks ago. I told Gary that tires should be picked up and hauled to a

separate location for recycling.

We walked to the south side of the road and overlooked the south slope of Phase

VI. The stormwater retention pond is just south of this cell in future Phase VIII.

Due to recent rains this south slope had many deep erosion gullies. There used to

be a berm at the bottom of the slope so that the water running down the slope ran

back into the cell and was treated as leachate. However, the berm has recently

Electronic Filing - Received, Clerk's Office, September 25, 2008

* * * * * AC 2009-015 * * * * *

---

been removed and now the water runs down into the stormwater retention pond.

This would be alright as long as the intermediate dirt cover is at least one (1) foot

thick to prevent water from coming into contact with waste on its way to the

retention pond. With the exposed waste on the slope, the stormwater comes into

contact with the waste, runs across a leveled area and down into the stormwater

retention pond. This water had been pumped to the drainage ditch that leads to

the sedimentation basin on the northwest corner of the site, although it wasn’t

being pumped presently. The water in the stormwater retention pond needs to be

treated as leachate. I discussed these concerns with Gary. In addition, the water

in the sedimentation basin should be tested before discharging to waters of the

State. I noted one erosion gully that was stained orange. Gary said that they last

graded the area about 4 weeks ago.

We walked back to the truck and drove west. The berm that had been leveled out

on the east side of Phase VI was still in place on the west side of Phase VI, which

is just south of the working face. In this area, the stormwater that is in contact

with the waste is treated as leachate, as it should be.

We continued driving west and drove over to the construction of Phase VII. The

roadway runs east-west through the cell. On the north side of Phase VII, they are

putting the clay liner in. The clay liner looked very dry. On the south side they

are using scrappers to get down to subgrade. They no longer use cut stakes but

use GPS instead. Gary said they will leave the road in as long as they can.

We headed back to the scale house and discussed the concerns I had today:

buried tires, exposed waste, and erosion allowing leachate to run into the

stormwater retention pond. I asked Gary if he had the load checking records. He

said he could get them. I asked him if he could have them available for me to

look through on July 30, 2008 when I stop by to pick up information regarding the

well water protection plan. He said he could.

A Waste Management truck had a fire on top of his truck before the truck reached

the scale house, Gary responded to that. The fire was put out by the driver and it

did not appear to be a concern.

I then left the site at 1:25pm.

On July 30, I arrived at the Orchard Hills Landfill at 10:22 am. I stopped at the

scale house and then proceeded to the office, where I met Chris Peters. Chris

gave me a copy of their well water protection plan. We discussed the plan. He

also gave me the load checking records from 2007 and 2008. I examined the

records from January 3, 2007 through July 22, 2008 and recorded the dates that

load checking was performed. I noted a gap between the dates of April 17, 2007

and May 12, 2007 where there were no records indicating that any load checking

was performed. I discussed this with Chris. He said he would look into it to see

if they have the records. I left the office at 11:19am.

---

On August 6, 2008, Chris Peters called. He apologized for not getting back to me

sooner. He said that he was sure that the random load inspections were all

completed. However, he stated that there was a two-week period (the weeks of

April 23, 2007 and April 30, 2007) in which the reports for the six inspections

during that two week period were inadvertently misplaced.

Violations of 415 ILCS 5/21(o)

On the basis of direct observation by Joy K. Bliton, the County of Ogle has

determined that Respondent was conducting a sanitary landfill operation at the above-

described facility, which is required to have a permit pursuant to 415 ILCS 5/21(d), in a

manner which resulted in the following conditions:

A. That on July 28, 2008, an on-site inspection of said sanitary landfill

facility, and review of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency files

and records of said facility, disclosed the following:

1. Uncovered refuse remaining from a previous operating day, in

violation of 415 ILCS 5/21(o)(5).

This violation was noted due to the piles of uncovered waste on the north

side of the road within Phase VI. The waste had resulted from making

pockets into the waste for drainage of ponded water. The waste remained

uncovered since July 23, 2008.

Other Violations

Although not subject to 415 ILCS 5/21(o), other violations were noted:

1. Causing or threatening or allowing the discharge of any contaminants into the

environment in any state so as to cause or tend to cause water pollution in Illinois,

in violation of 415 ILCS 5/12(a).

This violation was noted because stormwater came into contact with uncovered

waste along the south slope of Phase VI and ran into the stormwater retention

pond. The water in the stormwater retention pond is pumped to the ditch along

the east side of the cell and drains into the sedimentation basin. The water in the

sedimentation basin is discharged to the existing drainage channel.

2. Depositing any contaminants upon the land in such place and manner so as to

create a water pollution hazard in violation of 415 ILCS 5/12(d).

Please see #1 as to the explanation of this violation.

Please see #1 as to the explanation of this violation.

10. Not recording and retaining near the facility all load checking inspections, in

violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 811.112(b).

This violation was noted because there was a gap in the load checking records

between the dates of April 17, 2007 and May 12, 2007, where there were no

Electronic Filing - Received, Clerk's Office, September 25, 2008
