As a result, there <br />is a general lack of control and monitoring of incoming <br />Waste, and a general.~ack 9~.control, of~site,maintenance. <br />some older.fill slopes in the active area are much too steep <br />for proper maintenance and closure.~ Borrow areas used as a <br />source of daily cover soils need better control to improve <br />drainage from these areas as.~.Well. asto assure the stability <br />of cut slopes. <br /> <br /> Overall erosion and sediment control features need <br />.improvements to properly manage surface waters. Upgradient <br />surface waters are piped beneath the landfill, presenting a <br />challenge of long-term monitoring and handling of these <br />waters. Leachate seeps have been observed at the existing <br />fill as well as the old fill. These will require corrective <br />action to mitigate the potential of contamination of surface <br />waters. <br /> <br /> The water monitoring program at the site comprises four <br />ground water wells (two upgradient, two downgradient), two <br />pipe discharges, one sedimentation pond, and two upgradient <br />surface monitoring points. Review of the historical ground <br />water data suggests that the downgradient wells, the pipe <br />discharges, and the sedimentation pond are contaminated. <br />This is based on data indicating elevated levels of <br />leachate-type indicator parameters (i.e., chlorides, <br />conductivity, metals, COD, etc.) at downgradient points when <br />compared tow upgradient test results and general water <br />quality standards. <br /> <br /> Review of the boring logs for the site suggest that <br />there is not sufficient soil depths on-site to have adequate <br />amounts for daily cover and for capping the fill at closure. <br />Other information also suggests that the soils will not have <br />the required permeability for capping unless soil additives <br />are used. <br /> <br /> A recent study of recycling in the local planning <br />district indicates landfilling costs of about $6.00 per ton <br />and collection costs of about $13.00 per ton. This study <br />indicated the Henry County Sanitary Landfill receives about <br />280 tons per day (5-day average). Operation at the landfill <br />is subcontracted. The County has 159 greenboxes located at <br />28 sites throughout the County with pick-up occurring at <br />various times during the week. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
