NARRATIVE

INSPECTION REPORT DOCUMENT

The purpose ofthis memorandum is to serve as the Narrative Inspection Report

Document ofan inspection conducted at the subject site, RCS Inc., Landfill (RCS) on

September

9, 2003

from approximately

6:50

a.m. until

11:40 a.m., by this

author.

I was

not accompanied by anyone else from the Illinois EPA on the inspection.

While

at the

landfill, I conducted the physical inspection, the Document Review and Exit Interview

portions of the landfill inspection.

Each ofthese main areas is

discussed herein.

As

shown in this report, there are apparent violations being alleged as a result of this

inspection.

As I approached the landfill, the gates to the landfill were closed.

However, within five

minutes, Terry “Buck” Robbins, the Chief Operator ofthe Landfill and Allied Machine

Operator, arrived.

After Mr. Robbins unlocked the gate, I drove directly to the

maintenance shed and parked there.

It should be noted that Mr. Robbins

serves as the

acting landfill manager whenever Jay Ross,

the General Manager and Certified Operator

is not present at RCS Inc., Landfill.

At the shed, Mr. Robbins put a call in to Mr.

Ross, to

let him know that I was there.

Mr. Ross told Mr. Robbins

that he would come to

RCS to

see me.

Mr. Ross was apparently working at Roxana,

another landfill that

is owned,

managed and operated by Allied, with Mr. Ross as General Manager there as well.

Mr. Robbins stated that theyhad been busy with 24 to

28 semi-truck loads of

underground storage tank (UST) contaminated soil arriving daily,

which equated to

approximately 460

—

500 tons.

He also stated that they were hit hard by rain over the

Labor Day weekend (August 30— September

1, 2003).

He said that six inches ofrain

caused heavy storm runofffrom the landfill, which was especially strong at the northwest

corner ofCell #

2.

That is a part ofthat cell that has frequently shown erosion problems

in the past.

Mr. Robbins had placed two

six-inch diameter corrugated flexible black

plastic pipes down the length of the northwest sidewall (see attached Digital Photograph

#s 006,

007 and 008; also note that all references herein to photographs are those Digital

Photographs enclosed with this report).

He pointed to a green piece of six-inch pipe,

---

approximately six-feet long with new couplings that he stated had just arrived so that

repairs could be made to the system that removes storm water from yet to

be permitted

Cell #

3.

Thatrepair was made during the morning of the inspection and the pump was

operating and removing storm flow to

the detention pond south of the landfill, as shown

in photo #s 020 and 021.

Mr. Robbins mentioned that although the landfill mound appeared to be high, they could

still go

13’ higher, as evidenced by elevation stakes placed by

surveyors on top ofCell #s

1

and 2.

Upon inquiry, he stated that work on construction and permitting of Cell #

3

should start next year.

In a later conversation that day with Mr. Ross, he echoed that

statement and added that they planned to

have halfofCell

#

3 permitted in 2004.

Observation in the machine shed, near where we were at, revealed that the large

Caterpillar DH7 bulldozer was in the shed.

Upon inquiry, Mr. Robbins stated that the

machine had developed a slow hydraulic fluid leak that he was trying to pinpoint.

He

stated that he hoped to have it fixed by the end of the operating day.

In the east room of

that shed, a bucket front loader with back hoe, and a small tractor used to haul small

amounts offuel in an attached tank, and used for other light uses, were located there.

A

small, abbreviated scraper type machine used to accumulate soil was parked outside of

the shed, along with the Caterpillar C75 Challenger.

That machine is like a bulldozer but

has tracks

like a tank.

However, the tracks on the Challenger are made of hard rubber.

It

is used to haul the small scraper and has otheruses as well.

A

small Caterpillar D4

bulldozer was also parked outside the maintenance shed, as was a Galion road grader.

The large Caterpillar

816 compactor was parked on top of the landfill near the

fill area, as

was a small

landfill owned pick-up truck.

All ofthe equipment, except for the road

grader, is owned by Allied.

The road grader is rented from a business in Jerseyville.

Upon inquiry, Mr. Robbins stated that other than the extra UST

soil, most ofthe waste

arriving daily was

local waste.

He stated that Whiteway Sanitation went out of business

and therefore no longer hauls there.

He did say that a company based

out ofShipman,

named Merritt Hauling, has been bringing in wastes locally.

He added that although the

company is operated out of Shipman, the equipment is kept at Royal Lakes.

This inspection was the 25th at this site pursuant to

the Act and regulations, 35

JAG, Parts

810, 811, 812 and 813.

Specifically, Part

810 refers to Solid Waste Disposal Provisions.

Part 811

refers to

Standards for New Solid Waste Landfills.

Part 812 refers to

Information to be submitted in

a Permit Application.

Part

813 refers to Procedural

Requirements for Permitted landfills.

Since RCS Inc., Landfill (RCS) is

an operating

putrescible/chemical waste landfill, the regulations most pertinent to this inspection

report are those ofPart 811.

Three “governing” documents are the Act, the regulations,

35

IAC, and the operating permit, Permit No.

1993-210-LF (the permit), Modification 17

(this modification was the most recently approved Significant Modification to the Permit

at the time ofthe inspection).

Other documents and logbooks were reviewed at the

landfill from the time ofthe previous site inspection conducted on May 22, 2003, as

explored and presented in the document review portion ofthis report.

The current permit engineer assigned to

this site is Jennifer Flatt, BOLIDLPC/Solid

Waste Permits.

She attended a previous landfill inspection at the site on September

17,

2001, and is therefore familiarwith this site.

The Illinois

EPA reviewer ofthe financial assurance conditions

at this site is Blake

Harris, BOL/DLPC

—

Solid Waste Management Section.

I spoke with Mr. Harris

after

the September

9,

2003 inspection,

on September

15, 2003.

He stated that there is an

insurance policy in the amount of$2,108,993.

Per the Permit,

Significant Modification

No;17 dated July 18, 2003, the required amount of financial assurance is $2,172,132

(Part VII, Closure/Post Closure, Item 5.

However, per Mr. Harris, the landfill has 90

days from the date ofthe permit to

update their funding source, in this case, their

insurance policy.

That update will be due on October 16, 2003, per Mr. Harris.

Therefore, the insurance policy amount

is

currently adequate.

However, since the time is

approaching for the necessary increase in face value ofthe

policy, Mr. Harris will telephone Allied and advise them of this

need.

This

author also

3

---

notified Darlene, the Office Manager at RCS and Jay Ross via voice mail at 6 18/656-

6912 on September

15,

2003, ofthe necessary increase.

The permitted operating hours at the landfill are from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., Monday

through Saturday (Sig. Mod. No.

17, Permit Condition 1110.,

p. 7).

The landfill is closed

on Sundays.

The landfill instilled temporary hours of9:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m.,

Monday through Saturday, a few years ago.

During the previous year, Mr. Mike

Cassens, the former Chief Operator at RCS, stated that the temporary landfill hours had

been again modified to

9:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and closed

on

Saturday and Sunday.

Mr. Ross notified this author via telephone in early September,

2003 that the hours ofoperation have temporarily changed again to

8:00 a.m. through

4:00 p.m., to allow for the extra UST soil arriving daily at the landfill.

As mentioned in

this author’s July 31, 2000 Narrative Inspection Report Document memorandum to the

Land Division File, Mr. Cassens and I had reached a verbal agreement for us to meet at

the landfill for future inspections at 7:30 a.m.

This has been agreeable with the Illinois

EPA so long as whenever inspections were to be conducted that RCS personnel would

keep to the agreement.

This agreement was recentlyre-affirm~edbetween this inspector,

Mr. Ross and Mr. Robbins.

Messrs. Ross and Robbins agreed upon this

arrangement

with me following the August 29, 2002 site inspection, providing that I arrived by 7:30

a.m. in lieu of any other arrangements.

However, Mr. Robbins normally arrives at the

landfill at 7:00 a.m. and allows me to commence the landfill inspection then, upon his

arrival.

It is crucial for an inspector to check the adequacy ofdaily cover from the

previous operating day.

This arrangement with these landfill officials should allow the

accuracy of that part ofthe inspection process.

I also informed them that under unique or

unforeseen circumstances, Illinois EPA would enter the landfill at anytime.

On the day of the most recent inspection, September 9, 2003, Mr. Robbins advised me

that

soil was being used to cover the landfill active fill area. Mr. Robbins and Mr. Ross

were notified

on September 15, 2003, via telephone, to use clean

soil or the permitted

alternative daily cover tarp(s).

It is not known if UST soil has been used recently for

cover material or not.

However, since the landfill is not permitted to use UST soil as

cover material in their permit, the reminder was given as a courtesy to abide by the

permit.

Upon arrival at the site on the day of the inspection, the weather was sunnywith an air

temperature ofapproximately 80°F.

Winds were westerly at approximately

5 mph.

Surface soil conditions were mostly dry, but damp in places.

Following my initial

site conversation with Mr. Robbins and review ofheavy equipment

present, I photographed the permitted portion in the distance from where I was standing,

just west ofthe maintenance shed, as shown in attached photo #

001.

Mr. Robbins had

started to

attend to starting up the large DH7 bulldozer.

I then walked the haul road past

the office and second set ofrumble strips (there are another set between the office and the

front gate), and to where the haul road bends to the west, just north of the un-permitted

Cell #

4. At that point, I checked the groundwater monitoring wells

in the immediate

area, starting with well # Gill.

I also checked the gas probes (see photo

# 002). I

4

---

inspected the concrete bases, which were intact with no visible cracks.

I checked the

above ground portion ofthe casings, which were also intact.

The wells and probes were

properly locked and marked.

Nothing out ofthe ordinary was observed and the

surrounding vegetation had been recently mowed at manyofthe wells and probes.

Throughout the physical inspection ofthe facility, all ofthe groundwater monitoring

wells and gas probes appeared to be properly cared for as well.

I walked 50 feet or so to the south ofgas probe GP306 where I had an excellent view of

the north side ofthe permitted landfill Cell #2.

I photographed the permitted portion

again as shown in

attached photo #s 003

and 004.

Some ponded water and marshy

conditions consisting of tall marsh grass in standing water could be seen in Cell

#

3.

This

is shown in attached photo # 005. The pump,

when operating,

takes storm water out of

the cell to

the storm water detention pond to the south ofCell

#

1.

This was previously

shown in photo #s 020 and 021.

Photo

# 022 shows the detention pond. The storm water

then goes through an overflow pipe, under the berm shown in photo #

022 and exits the

pipe into a tributary stream

to Sandy Creek, as shown in photo # 023.

The permitted landfill slope at the northwest corner ofCell

#

2 appeared to

once again

have some exposed refuse.

As mentioned, this is why Mr. Robbins had placed the

flexible black pipes as he had,

as shown in photo #s 006, 007 and 008.

However, many

areas along the lower portion of the entire northern face had small

areas ofexposed

refuse

(also see photo #s 009, 010 and 011).

These exposed refuse areas show evidence

ofinadequate intermediate cover, an apparent violation ofthe regulations, Title 35,

Illinois Administrative Code, Subtitle G (35 lAG), Section 811.3 13(c).

This then also

shows an

apparent violation ofthe

Illinois Environmental Protection Act (Act), Section

21(o)(5),

as does some exposed refuse, albeit minor, in the active

fill area, as shown in

photo #s 012 and

013.

Associated apparent violations of the permit also exist.

These are

all explained in greater detail, later in this report.

It is understandable that intermediate

cover would be broken down by erosion when one considers the intense rainfall of the

Labor Day weekend, previously discussed.

However, that was over a week prior to the

inspection, during which the weather was mostly sunny, or with no or minimal rain.

However, additional soil cover was necessary to comply with the regulations.

In addition

to

informing Messrs. Ross and Robbins ofthe apparent violations,

I also recommended

them to

keep a daily watch over that situation at that location, the entire north face, and

anywhere else in cells with buried waste.

At the fill

area, the first UST soil was dumped before 9:00 a.m., as shown in photo # 014.

Photo

# 015

shows the dumping ofdemolition wastes by a local contractor.

Photo #s 016

and

017 show the woods to

the east ofCell

#

2 and southeast ofCell

#

1, respectively.

As can be seen in these photos, there was no apparent litter shown out of the permitted

fill area, in the woods.

Mr. Ross accompanied me

on a walk to the hill at the northeast corner ofthe landfill.

I

inspected groundwater monitoring wells and gas probes along the way.

From the top of

that hill,

which serves as a public-view block, the landfill can be seen with yet another

semi-truck tipping its load ofUST

soil, as shown in photo # 018.

We then returned to the

5

---

active fill area, because the first two Merritt Hauling local refuse hauling trucks arrived

and dumped their loads.

I requested Mr. Ross to

call Mr. Robbins on his radio

to catch

the name on the trucks and to not touch those specific waste piles until I could get up

there to

inspect the

loads.

Mr. Robbins asked ifhe

should have the driver wait, and I said

no, so long as he had the trucking company identified.

Once back at the active fill area,

both loads were inspected and found to contain nothing unusual or unacceptable.

These

loads are shown in photo # 019.

Following the inspection ofthe Merritt Hauling loads, an inspection of the monitoring

wells and gas probes at the southern end ofthe landfill was conducted.

The storm water

flow, detention pond and discharge to the tributary to

Sandy Creek were observed next.

This was previously addressed and the relative inspection photos were referenced.

Both leachate collection tank

areas were inspected next and found to

be in good operating

condition.

We then walked up to the maintenance

shed.

Other than some

recommendations for improved housekeeping, things looked good there.

During the inspection, I also inspected the

south face of Cell #

1, and both the east and

west faces ofCell #s

1

and 2.

No exposed refuse was observed on these faces. In fact,

they appeared to be in good shape.

Only the north face, as previously noted, was out of

compliance.

Following the physical inspection of the landfill, I proceeded to

the landfill office and

conducted the document review portion ofthe inspection and the exit interview in the

presence ofJay Ross.

Darlene, the Office Manager, provided the landfill operation books

-

so that I could review the information,

i.e.,

logged data since the previous site inspection.

Gas, leachate, daily operations, alternate daily cover, weekly load inspections, asbestos,

asbestos placement grid map, underground storage tank (UST) soil placement, non-

special waste approval and

special waste generator logs were

checked.

The books

appeared to be in order.

The groundwater logs

received a cursory review by this inspector.

However, as in the

past, I explained to Mr. Ross that my review ofthe groundwater logs and report was only

cursory and that a qualified Illinois EPA geologist or hydro-geologist would look at those

issues in detail, and that it was possible that future violations

could be allegedbased on

those reviews.

Following the document review, I conducted the exit interview with Mr. Ross.

He stated

that Mr. Robbins was disappointed that apparent violations existed, as he was.

I told him

that I would mention the heavy rain the week before over the Labor Day Weekend.

However, since a week had passed, the exposed refuse areas should have been covered

with additional soil.

Mr. Ross assured me that they would do whatever was necessary to

work within compliance.

During the inspection, 23 photographs were taken with a digital camera.

They show the

-

conditions at the landfill on the date ofthe inspection.

Specific photographs were already

6

---

discussed in this report.

From previous site inspections and the current inspection, and

from previous site sketches, an updated sketch ofthe site was developed.

It shows the

approximate locations and directions ofthe inspection photos as well as the general

layout ofthe site.

On the digital camera,

photographs are presented in three digit

numbers, i.e., 001, 002, 003 etc.

That is the waythey are referred to

in the narrative and

on the Digital Photograph Photocopies attached to this report.

However, on the site

sketch, to save space, the photo numbers are presented in real numbers, i.e.,

1, 2, 3

etc.

Copies ofthe Digital Inspection Photocopies and the Site Sketch accompany this report.

As noted, some apparent violations ofthe Illinois Environmental Protection Act,

including a 2 1(o) violation, which can carry a monetary penalty, were observed.

Also, an

apparent violation ofthe regulations, Title

35,

Illinois Administrative Code, Subtitle G,

was noted, as were some

specific Permit apparent violations.

An 811

Solid Waste

Landfill Inspection Checklist accompanies this report, which shows the apparent

violations.

OTHER COMMENTS

1.

Numerous small diameter trees, some

as high as 20’, have started popping up on

the west side ofyet to be permitted Cell

#

3, just to the west and

at the top ofthe

west sidewall.

These will eventually need to be removed as the development of

Cell #

3

is undertaken next year.

Additionally, the vegetation on top of the west

sidewall ofthe yet to be permitted cells is very dense.

It would be quite helpful

for inspection purposes if a northlsouth path could be mowed at this area

2.

In addition to

discussing the exposed refuse on the north face, Mr. Ross was

advised that the rest ofthe landfill inspection was favorable, and no other

apparent violations

are being alleged.

He stated that they are trying to do

whatever necessary to keep in compliance.
