IV. Pre-Inspection Preparation
A. FACILITY-SPECIFIC WASTE BAN COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
During each third-party inspection, the third-party inspector shall assess compliance with the waste bans by the facility and by the
haulers and generators delivering waste to the facility, in order to determine the facility's compliance with all applicable waste ban
requirements as set forth in 310 CMR 19.018(7)(c)1.
Therefore, pursuant to 310 CMR 19.018(7)(c)1, prior to conducting a third-party waste ban inspection,the third-party
inspector shall,without limitation, complete all of the following:
® Identify, review and become familiar with all solid waste requirements applicable to waste ban compliance at the facility

are applicable to this facility and the following are my observations and recommendations related to the Inspector Initials
facility-specific requirements.
B. CURRENT WASTE BAN COMPLIANCE PLAN

(see Waste Ban Compliance Plan, Part D) Number of Loads
*Note: This is independent from and maybe different than the required number of loads observed during a Third-Party Waste Ban Inspection.
C. MINIMUM NUMBER OF LOADS FOR OBSERVATION

❑ Standard: Pursuant to 310 CMR 19.018(7)(e)1,the minimum number of loads observed during the inspection will be:
❑ For a facility permitted to accept from 1 to 99 tons of waste per day,four(4)vehicle loads.

*Note:As an alternative to the minimum number of loads set forth at 310 CMR 19.018(7)(e)1, fora facility that has operated below the facility's
permitted capacity for the previous year,the third-party inspector may apply the average actual daily receipt of waste(in tons)over the
preceding year(instead of the permitted tonnage amount)to the minimum load criteria set forth at 310 CMR 19.018(7)(e)1.
Explanation: Based on the current average tonnage from 2021 records (approx. 217 TPD).
