New Salem/Pike County Landfill

A landfill inspection was conducted at this facility on February 7, 2008 from about 6:15 am to 8:45
am. Thirteen digital photographs were taken and the weather was partly sunny, 25°F with wet and
partially frozen soil conditions. Mr. Larry Beard was interviewed during the inspection. The
applicable permit at the time of the inspection was Permit No. 1995-155-LF, Modification No. 46
("Permit").
Upon arrival at the site on February 7, 2008, I went directly to the active area. No waste had been
accepted prior to my arrival and no personnel had starting working in the area yet. Exposed refuse at
the active face is shown in the attached photos #001 through #007 and #009 through #011. There
were two alternate cover blankets in use. Mr. Beard and I discussed the significant amount of
exposed refuse remaining from the previous operating day. Mr. Beard explained that he left early the
previous day and instructed the assistant manager, Mr. Steve Blake, to cover the waste at the
conclusion of the operating day.
Exposed refuse, in the form of general construction or demolition debris, was also observed during
the November 20, 2007 inspection. The debris included damaged dimensional lumber, bricks,
shingles, plastic, and broken concrete. Mr. Blake was responsible for the site operations on
November 19, 2007 since Mr. Beard was on vacation. On November 20, 2007, Mr. Blake and I
discussed the exposed refuse. Mr. Blake stated that the debris was used as road base materials. I
explained to Mr. Blake that general construction or demolition debris is not allowed to be used as
road base and must be treated as refuse which is covered at the conclusion of the operating day. Mr.
Blake agreed to cover all waste materials, including the general construction or demolition debris, by
the end of the day. The problem was noted in the Illinois EPA's December 14, 2007 letter to Mr.
Ron Edwards.
The foundry sand pile near the active face is shown in the attached photos #008. According to
Special Condition No. 11.25 of the Permit, foundry sand may be stored on the landfill and used for
temporary roads inside the waste limits with the following conditions:
a.
The foundry sand pile will be limited to 100 cubic yards or less.
b.
The foundry sand pile will be covered with tarps or similar materials to prevent nuisance
conditions from developing.
c.
The foundry sand pile will be on an area of the landfill with a composite liner and
page 1
leachate collection system.
d. Any water that contacts the foundry sand will be managed as leachate.
The majority of the pile was covered as shown in the attached photo #008. Additional efforts should
be made to ensure the entire pile is covered to prevent nuisance conditions from developing.
Information concerning the groundwater monitoring wells and piezometers is located on the attached
monitor well inspection form. Groundwater monitoring wells G146 and G147 were not observed
during the inspection. All the protective casings observed were locked, labeled and in good
condition. Groundwater monitoring well G127 is shown in the attached photo #012. The well is
located at the top of a small ridge. The concrete surface slab must maintain complete contact with
the ground to prevent the infiltration of surface water runoff into the well annulus. The well should
be monitored for developing erosion issues of the surrounding soil. The concrete surface seal on
groundwater monitoring well G126 should also be monitoring for developing silting issues. The soil
around groundwater monitoring well G126 should be regraded to divert surface water away from the
well casing.
The used oil tank in the maintenance shed is shown in the attached photograph #013. The well was
already labeled "Used Oil" as required by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 739.122(c)(1).
The following reports were examined at the conclusion of my inspection:
Report
Alternate Cover Report
Load Checking Program
NPDES Inspection Logs
Daily Inspection Log Sheets
Weekly Inspection Log Sheets
Requirement
Permit, Special Condition II.5.f
35 Ill. Adm. Code 811.323
Permit No. ILR000311, Condition F.1 & F.2
Permit, Special Condition IV.1
Permit, Special Condition IV.1
I also examined the Daily & Weekly Landfill Gas System Monitoring Record, the Flare Station Data
Log, the Cover Inspection Report, and the Landfill Gas System Maintenance
&
Repair Log. No
apparent problems were noted with the recordkeeping.
