INSPECTION REPORT NARRATIVE
This peimitted landfill was inspected on April 21, 2008, by Lee Ann Chezem, of the
Vermilion County Health Department. The weather was sunny and approximately 55
degrees.
I arrived at the facility at approximately 6:20am and met with Ken and Cassie Samet. I
proceeded to the active area, where the tarp had been placed over the previous day's
waste(photo 1). Litter was observed to the north of the covered waste (photos 2,3,5,6,7)
and a small amount of litter was observed in two of the fencing used to contain trash from
blowing away from the active area (photo 4).
Final cover for several slopes of the inactive areas surrounding the facility were showing
signs of erosion and loss of vegetation (photos 8,9,11,12,13).
Ameren continues to dispose of contaminated dirt at this site. Approximately 800-900
ton of dirt has been accepted daily. Three trucks were observed waiting to dump and the
drivers indicated this project is expected to be completed in the near future.
Daily levels of waste were estimated to be 1000 tons with 800-900 of this being
Ameren's disposal of dirt. Spent bleaching clay had been accepted from Incobrasa in
Gilman. Between January 16, 2008 and March 21, 2008, 15 loads of this material had
been accepted.
Weekly load inspections of Central Illinois Disposal, Vermilion Waste and Paxton
Disposal were completed on 3/28/08, 4/3/08 and 4/4/08. I did not locate inspections for
the week of 4/7/08 or 4/14/08.
The permit for this site expired on January 15, 2008. An application was submitted in a
timely manner. Additional information was requested as well as comments pertaining to
the permit.
HA"
&R M. OppoRrNin- ElIPLoYER
The Vermilion County Health Department submitted comments regarding the size of
chipped tires that could be utilized for the final cover. These comments were returned to
the permit section of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency in February 2008.
At the time of my inspection, litter, erosion and loss of vegetation on the final cover were
observed on site. The inspection was completed at 7:20am.
