Landfill Inspection Report Narrative
This
permitted facility was inspected on March
25,
2004 by this author representing the Agency.
The inspection, which was conducted as a routine inspection, took place from approximately
1:45 to
3:33 P.M.
Thirteen photos were taken during the inspection
Photos
001-013.
Weather
at the time of the inspection was warm and dry with a strong wind
from the south.
Mr. Danny
Bowman, Certified Operator, and Ms. Jackie Burlison, scale house operator, were interviewed
during the inspection.
No samples were taken during this inspection.
General Remarks
This facility is located at 1710 McFarland Road, Thompsonville, IL 62890, and the phone
number is 618/268-9412.
The physical location ofthe site is northwest ofGalatia, Illinois just
east ofthe Franklin County line.
The site is owned by Landfill, L.L.C., P.O. Box 657,
Harrisburg, IL 62946.
West End is currently operating in Phase
1,
Cell
1, Lift #
5.
Inspection Findings
I arrived
at
the site and entered the office to
announce myself.
At that time, I met with Ms.
Jackie Burlison.
The previous inspection had revealed a few manifests without transporter
signatures, and the facility had reportedly resolved those issues.
As such, I reviewed the relevant
manifests, which indeed had transporter signatures as required.
In addition, the facility had
received written statements from United Science Industries,
the waste hauler for those manifests,
to prevent any reoccurrence ofthis type of situation.
While
I was finishing this review, Mr.
Bowman arrived
from
the active face.
After reviewing these manifests, I conducted the record review portion for selected records,
including daily inspection records,
leachate disposal manifest~,load checking records for
January and February of2004, as well as gas monitoring records.
Leachate
disposal records
showed that approximately 16,000
gallons of leachate were removed March
4-5,
2004, with no
other leachate removed from the site since the previous inspection ofDecember
30, 2003.
Load
checking records were reviewed, with no discrepancies noted.
Gas monitoring records were
briefly reviewed, and Mr. Bowman pointed out that well # EG5 has been showing less methane
in recent sampling events.
The most recent, conducted on March 24, 2004, was reported at
6.8.
While the levels
are
still above
50
ofthe Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) for this well, it
does
appear to
be decreasing of late.
It is noted that well #
EG5 has shown higher than expected
levels ofmethane since this facility opened, and is not in proximity to any known waste burial
locations.

March
25,
2004inspection report
With regard to the daily inspections,
this facility has apparently been using soil cover exclusively
since the
last
inspection.
Records indicate that the facility started filling on lift
#
5
of Cell
1
on
February
12, 2004.
After conducting the record review, I followed Mr. Bowman
to the active face to make physical
observations.
Two open areas of waste were noted, one on the
south Photos
001-002)
and one
toward the north end ofCell
1
Photo
003).
The southern area primarily contained demolition
debris, which Mr. Bowman said he put there that morning to build up the access road toward the
north side.
The northern area was being worked with a compactor, and litter was blowing toward
litter fences near the northeast corner of Cell
1
Photo
004).
I talked to Mr. Bowman about the
litter, and he acknowledged the presence of the litter, saying that the litter fence had busted the
day before.
I observed
a few garbage bags along the fence line consistent with litter collection.
activities, but no one
was picking up litter at the time of the inspection.
Observations ofthe field
and tree line north of Cell
1
revealed litter in the field and the trees Photos
005-007.
The
amount oflitter in the fence and out in the field appeared to be excessive for the amount of waste
exposed on this date.
Mr. Bowman later admitted that litter remained from the previous
~
operating
day.
As we discussed it, I acknowledged the strong winds from that date and the
previous day, but reminded Mr. Bowman that the requirements for litter collection still
must be
met.
We discussed the use of temporary manpower and portable litter fences at ~heactive face as
possible measures that could be used to address the litter concerns.
The northwest part ofCell
1
had one
small area where waste was exposed that did not appear to
be from that day’s operations Photo
008.
I made a verbal recommendation to Mr. Bowman to
address that area, but advised that I would not cite a violation given the relatively small
amount
ofexposed waste.
Mr. Bowman
said that he had
apparently scraped off too much daily cover in
that area while shaping that part ofthe cell.
He agreed to put some more fill back in that area.
On
this date, the facility was using a tractor-pulled scraper to remove soil as part of the early
developmentofCell
#
2
Photos
009-013).
This cell was originally designated as part ofphase
II, but the phasing ofthe cells was shifted based on apparent liner seepage along the west side of
Cell
1.
No leachate was noted on this date, nor did the review ofthe in~pection
records reveal
any such concerns.
In addition to the soil removal activities, the survey stakes marking the
perimeter ofCell 2 appeared to be up and in place.
Summary of Inspection Findings
Based on the findings ofthis inspection, the special waste manifesting violation of Section
809.3 02(a) will be considered technically resolved.
However, large volumes oflitter were noted
in the litter fence,
as well as the field and tree
line north ofthe litter fence.
At the time ofthe
inspection,
no one was picking up litter, although the man operating the compactor apparently
alternates between equipment operation and
litter control.
Based on the presence oflitter, the
absence of anyonepicking up litter,
Mr. Bowman’s own admissions, and the locations and
volumes ofwaste noted outside ofthe litter fence, the following violations are being cited at this
time.

March 25, 2004 inspection report
A violation ofSection 21(d)(l) is being cited because apparent permit violations were observed
on the date ofthis
inspection.
A violation ofSection 21(e). is being cited because waste is disposed at this
site that, due to
the
apparent violations noted in this report,
did not
meet the requirements of the Illinois

and regulations adopted thereunder.
Violations ofSections 21(o)(12) ofthe Act, Section 811.107(k) of 35
Ill. Adm.
