On April 8, 2005,the EHD received a letter from Forward Inc. The letter contested several issue on the inspection report of February 24, 2005 and asked the EHD to revised one of the violations to an area of concern. The request came from the site operator, James Moore. Mr. Moore stated that Section 20790, 27CCR was very specific and that it only related to public contact for the Leachate. Mr. Moore stated that the facility was closed to the public and therefore did not apply. Mr. Moore requested that the inspection report be revised to an area of concern for 20790, 27CCR. The EHD responded to the letter on, April 27, 2005. Robert McClellon reviewed the section and agreed that there was no public contact. The inspection was revised to a violation for Site Maintenance, Section 20750, 27 CCR(see exhibit 11). On April 20 2005, Michael Kith and Robert McClellon employees of the EHD conducted a monthly routine inspection. The inspection was a joint inspection with Keith Kennedy and Jeff Watson of the CIWMB staff and the following was noted. The concentrations of methane gas in the monitoring probe GP 9 ranged from 0.0%to 57.5%. This was documented under the violation of Explosive Gases Control, Section 20919.5 of 27CCR. • The facility was cited for a violation of Terms and Conditions of the Permit Section, 44004, PRC. The facility was accepting waste above what the facility permit allows. The facility was also violated for Significant Change Section 44014 (b), PRC. The facility exceeded the permitted tonnage limit on more than one occasion each month. The facility was cited for a violation for Report of Disposal Site Information(RDSI) Section 21600, 27 CCR. The facility had not updated the RDSI as requested in the last joint CIWMB inspection. The facility was also cited for Contaminated Green Waste Section 20690 (b)(3), 27 CCR. The site personnel responsible for removing the food waste from the green waste was seen removing the food waste from a plastic bag and reintroducing the food waste back into the green waste and throwing the bag away. The leachate seep was ongoing and was noted as an area of concern, section 20750, 27CCR, pictures were taken (see exhibit mm). On May 4, 2005, a meeting was held between the EHD, the CIWMB and the representatives from Forward Inc. and Allied Waste Industries Inc. The meeting was held, at the CIWMB offices, to discuss the site's status and the recent joint inspection. Subjects discussed at the meeting were tonnages that the facility receives above the tonnage limit, over use of ADC, revised reporting format, Joint Technical Document (JTD) amendments, and the MSW Green Waste ADC. The facility personnel indicated that they thought it could be resolved with a better reporting format. They stated that they had always been allowed to receive waste over their tonnage limit. The EHD stated that the permit allows for total tonnage and nothing else. They stated that the number in the permit was for disposal tonnage and not for ADC and Beneficial reuse. They wanted • to argue on the definition of green waste as it pertains to ADC and not green waste.
