County of Riverside 9 cover, including perimeter access road and surface drainage system, will be routinely evaluated and inspected monthly for any evidence of:  Soil erosion  Settlement and subsidence  Exposed refuse  Cracks  Ponded water  Vegetation stress  Odor  Slope failure  Leachate seeps Deficiencies such as cracks, erosion damage, or settlement in the final cover will be evaluated regarding their extent and depth. The evaluation will include determining the severity of the problem, prioritizing their repair, and determining the best method of repair. Materials and methodologies for repairs and restoration will be consistent with the final cover construction specifications by The Earth Technology Corporation, dated 19933, Appendix E. SEI shall request an MSHCP/ nesting bird clearance survey prior to scheduling any landfill cover repair/restoration activities. The County shall provide a calendar period when abatement activities may occur. County will also identify areas where abatement work is prohibited, if any. The timing of weed abatement activity will be coordinated with the County under the same survey period. Cause(s) for the damage will be reported in writing in the record of maintenance activities prepared by SEI and submitted to the County per Section 9.2.1. Ballast and/or Skid Supported – If settlement or damage to the cover occurs beneath a ballast block supported solar array or inverter supported skid, the support structure and arrays will be temporarily moved out of the way until repairs are complete and then returned to their proper location. Areas that have ponded water or have settled will be filled with clean soil imported from off-site and approved by the County, free of deleterious material. After filling and re-grading, the areas will be resurfaced. Should a failure in the cover area occur, the area will be closed off to prevent damage to equipment or harm to humans and the environment. A licensed civil engineer retained by SEI will be notified to assess the failure and recommend appropriate corrective action. Specific corrective action will depend on the extent, nature, and location of the failure. Corrective action measures will be developed by the civil engineer and be subject to approval by the County and regulatory agencies. A record of final cover maintenance activities will be prepared by SEI and submitted to the County. The record will include the date, location, and extent and nature of the maintenance activity. Regulatory agencies will be notified as required by the site’s permit and approvals.
