is utilized. These records are available for your review and should satisfy any concerns that non disposal soils are somehow being misused at the Forward facility. Given the foregoing, we respectfully request that you revise your report to eliminate references to violations related to our permitted daily and weekly tonnage caps. We understand that there is an outstanding issue concerning whether material used as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) or beneficial reuse counts towards the daily cap and we are willing to work through you and CIWMB staff to resolve that issue. As noted previously, we are still below the daily and weekly tonnage thresholds even if we include ADC and beneficial reuse materials in our daily and weekly waste receipts (as confirmed by review of the attached daily reports for June 2005). Amended RDSI As we have indicated to you over the past couple of months, we are in the final stages of preparing an amended Report of Disposal Site Information that is required by the new ADC regulations. The document will also clarify and update information in the current document that has led to some confusion (i.e., cover ratios, site operational info, etc.). At the joint meeting with CIWMB staff, we committed to provide you with the RDSI amendments by July 31, 2005. We are on track for submittal of this document to you and appreciate your patience in working through the matter. You will most likely receive the document prior to drafting your report for our July site inspection and we would appreciate not having this issue listed as a violation on future inspection reports (including the one for July 2005). By submittal of the report we believe we have complied with the regulatory criteria as well as your request to clarify various aspects of the document. While there may be areas of the amended RDSI which you require clarification on, we would hope that those can be handled through mutual cooperation and not through the use of continued violations. Gas Control on Forward Landfill Site Our project teams are currently installing 23 additional gas extraction wells in the area where gas has accumulated on the west end of the Forward Landfill site. We are hopeful that this latest phase of capital investment and engineering work will alleviate the issues related to exceedance of thresholds for methane gas. This work is scheduled to be completed by July 29, 2005 and its effectiveness can be gauged at that point. Forward, Inc. is committed to addressing this issue and we believe that our investment in infrastructure to control the methane gas has demonstrated this commitment. Green Waste Containing Food Waste The subject of yard waste containing food waste and the ability to use the material for ADC has been the subject of much debate with the LEA and the CIWMB staff over the course of the past several months. 2
