CIWMB staff, in <br />consultation with the local enforcement agency, determined that the weight and volume records kept by Forward Landfill <br />were not in a format such that CIWMB staff or the local enforcement agency could verify that the facility was within its <br />permitted tonnage limits. CIWMB staff's 18 -month inspection report indicated that Title 27,Califomia Code of Regulations, <br />Section 20510(a) — CIWMB Disposal Site Records states, in part, that each site operator shall maintain records of weights or <br />volumes accepted in a form and manner approved by the enforcement agency. <br />During the focused inspection tonnage reports were provided in a format such that CIWMB and local enforcement agency <br />staff could determine the amount of waste material being counted towards Forward Landfill's permitted daily tonnage limit <br />of 8,668 tons per day and the total amount of waste material being used as daily cover at the facility. However, the only <br />tonnage records immediately available for review were from February 1, 2005 through April 18, 2005. <br />Another concern raised from CIWMB staff's August 11, 2004 18 -month inspection, was the potential overuse of cover <br />material at the working face. <br />CIWMB staffs August 11, 2004 18 -month inspection report stated that during the inspection, staff observed the use of <br />tarpaulins on half of the previous days working face as alternative daily cover. (The other half of the working face was <br />covered with treated auto shredder waste.) According to the Daily Incoming Waste spreadsheet, Forward Landfill received <br />93,348.64 tons of "trash" and 34,860.08 tons of "Cover Material" during the month of June 2004.
