General Remarks
A complaint was received a little after
5
p.m. on3/19/03 byvoice mail from aconcerned citizen
reporting there was blown litter outside
the site
and
all alongthe southwesterncornerofthe
Rochelle
Municipal #2 Landfill.
I arrived
at
about
10:04
a.m
on
March
20, 2003.1
drove
to the
southwest
cornerofthe site
and parked
at the leachate
storage area.
Thewhole southeastern
corner
ofthe sitehad
quite a
lot
ofblown litter, as
well as
along
the ditch
and drainage
way that
exits the site underneathMulford
Road.
Some ofitwas in thebushes
and trees.
It extended
fromtheSWcorner
eastward over to where therewere three movable litter fences, which
were
full oflitter. From there, the litter was scattered over to the working area.
All ofit appeared to be
from the previous day.
Two people
were
collecting litter and
therewere probably
15-20
bags
full oflitterby the time I
arrived there.
The winds,upon
arrival,
were
light from the SE, although
it
was very foggy and
calm earlierthat morning as reported
bythe NationalWeather
Service in
Rockford. Theworking
facewas
northeast
ofthe littered area so itwas notpossible that theblown litter could have
accumulated
that
morning.
It
all
appeared tobe wetandto have
been
there since at
least
the
previous day, if not longer.
Across MulfordRoad to theSWofthe landfill, there was at least adozenpieces oflitter
scattered along the corn field, also along the ditchonMulfordRoad.
Approaching the landfill
from Mulford Road to the North, therewere probablyahalfa dozenpiecesofplasticblown into
the
farm
fieldsonboth sides ofMulfordRoad.
I leftthe area ofthe SWcornerofthe site.
I drove into the site
and
checked in atthe scale house.
The scale house operatorcontactedClyde Gelderloos, hewas at ameeting
and
unavailable. She
then contactedTom Hilbertwho saidhewould meetme in20 minutes. Ithenmet
with
Donovan
Delegauwho cameto the scalehouse andwedrove down to the working face.
I lethimknow
the litterat the SWcornerofthe site appeared tome to havebeenthere from the previous
operating day
and
was unacceptable. He admittedthe litter
was
badand saidthewinds were
strong the
previous
dayand theywere unableto get itpickedup. But they did have people
pickingupthe litter. He later mentioned that normally theyhave
two
guys pickingup litter, but
one
was
in court the previous day, sotheyonlyhadone plus himselfand the other equipment
operator.
We
walked
over to the
working
face
and
up to the top.
Itook alook at the
area
ofconcernfrom
the top. Obviously there
was waste
that
was
uncovered onthe south
bank
of
Phase
I of
Unit II
and
the litter fenceswere still scattered
with
litterfrom the previousday ormore. The waste
was
scattered
all
theway to theSWcorner ofthe sitewhere the litter pickers werepicking it up.
Conditions werewetthat day. Donovanmentionedthey were unable to get the litter fences
moved towhere theywould bemore effective, because ofthe wet conditions ofthe soil.
I
suggested theyuse cables orfmdsome otherwayto drag the fenceswhere they
can
bemore
effective.
I also suggested they
install
secondaryfencing aroundthe perimeter ofthe site or
hire
additional laborers topickupthe litterprior to the endofthe operating day. Heagreed these
were good ideas but said he is limited as towhat he
can
do at the site.
Donovan
and
I droveback to the scale house andTom Hubert arrived. Donovan left, Tomand I
drove overto theSW cornerwhere the leachate storage tank is.Welooked at the area ofconcern,
Iexpressedmyconcern that the litter
had
not been pickedup. Headmittedhehadbeen there
yesterday afternoon
and
that he
did
notice the litter inthat
area.
We talkedabout the fact that the
waste was
uncovered.
There was
somedisagreement aboutwhat is “uncovered waste”.
Imentioned toTom that I wouldbe
writingthis
inspection
report
up and discussing it
with our
enforcement decisiongroup
and
making a decision. Further actionwould probablybewarranted
bythese apparent violations.
I droveTomback to the scale house.
I leftthe site
and
droveto the corner ofMulfordand
CrestonRoads.
Iparked
and
did the narrativeof
this
inspection, and departed at 11:21 a.m.
