GWADC Clarification Page 2 of 4 Situations have arisen wherein which EHD and COS disagree on certain issues. Better communication will help, but not necessarily solve all disagreements to both agencies satisfaction. The following are recent issues that have arisen during this Project, EHD's position on these issues, proposed solutions, and EHD requirements: COMMUNICATION GAPS Since there are many people involved with the Project (several administrative COS personnel, one field COS person, contracted operators) it has been difficult to ensure that all involved are informed of EHD concerns and requirements. Information given during inspections has not reached all the involved personnel and problems regarding the landfills/Project were not solved. In order to facilitate better communication, EHD will continue to call COS and the operator and inform both parties of the date and time of monthly inspections; City and operator personnel are encouraged to participate, as always. All information, observations, and EHD requirements will be recorded on inspection forms and mailed, faxed, or hand delivered to Bob Murdoch or Phil Nesperos (COS) and also to the operator Phil Giambastiani (Gambi Enterprises). A weekly phone call to EHD from a COS designated Project contact is recommended to convey Project plans, changes, or other information. This would enhance information flow and clear up any miscommunication problems. Written addendurns from COS will be necessary at times to clarify the Project plan. TARP USE AT AUSTIN RD. LANDFILL (ARL) GWADC plan clearly states that prior to tarp use at ARL verbal approval must be obtained from EHD. Since this has not happened consistently and thus varies from the plan, EHD has questioned the tarp use and the intent of the Project. The tarp has not been approved for wet weather use and no plan has been received by EHD to re- evaluate this material for wet weather use. Since it has been difficult for COS to follow the verbal notification procedure and tarp and GWADC are being used together, EHD requires a written addendum to the original GWADC plan providing more information on the demonstration Project. This plan should include information, such as when and how the tarp will be used, how many consecutive days it will be used, intent for demonstrating tarp, etc.
