VI. Inspection Observations
A. FACILITY CONDITION AND OPERATIONS
Examine and evaluate the facility condition and operations as observed during the inspection, including the following:
® Describe any evidence of the following conditions observed at the time of the inspection:
• Unpermitted discharges to air, water, land, or other natural resources of the Commonwealth; and
• Dust, odors, litter, and/or other nuisance conditions.
® Document and discuss all deviations from any specific requirements for the facility that are not addressed in the previous section
(Section V. - Performance Standards), including without limitation, the requirements set forth in the facility's operation and
maintenance plan, orders or other enforcement documents, and other solid waste permits, approvals, and authorizations issued to
the facility by MassDEP.
® List the types and estimated quantities of all waste and materials stored at the facility at the time of the inspection.
® Provide a narrative that describes the overall status of the general condition, operation, and performance of the facility as
observed at the time of the inspection.
bAttach photographs taken during the inspection that depict the general condition and operation of the facility. At a minimum, include
photographs, as applicable, of the waste unloading (tipping) area, waste storage areas, recyclable material storage and, for transfer
stations, the waste reloading activity.
Discussion:
Facility operations appeared to be well organized at the time of inspection. Waste vehicles were observed entering through the
main entrance road and weighing in at the entrance scale. Approximately 5 cubic yards of recyclable material and less than 5
cubic yards of MSW were located in designated areas on the tipping Floor within the Receiving Building. Rail service was
available at the time of the inspection.
At the time of the inspection, the Facility appeared to be operating within the conditions of permits, approvals, and Operation &
Maintenance Plan. There was no evidence of unpermitted discharges to air, water, land, or other natural resources. According to
the facility representative, routine litter pickup is conducted. No dust, odors, or other nuisance conditions were identified within
Facility limits. Some odors related to the adjacent Yarmouth Sewage Treatment plant were observed southeast of the facility
along the shared access road.
According to the facility representative, all of the Receiving Building overhead doors were operational at the time of the
inspection.
B. RECORD REVIEW
Examine and evaluate the facility's record -keeping. Without limitation, document the status of the facility's compliance with, and any
deviations from, the record -keeping required by 310 MCR 19.000; the facility's operation and maintenance plan; orders or other
enforcement documents issued to the facility; and other solid waste permits, approvals, determinations, and authorizations issued to the
facility by the Department, including the following:
® Discuss the evaluation of the Facility's "daily log" such as, daily tonnage records.
® List and discuss any special incidents that have occurred since the previous inspection such as exceedances of the facility's
permitted waste acceptance limits, nature and outcome of complaints reported to the facility operator (including the identity of the
complainant, if known), fires, emergencies, or other disruptions to the routine operation of the facility.
Discussion: Based on the tonnage records reviewed and provided by Reworld, the Facility appears to be within the permitted
tonnage limits in the time since the last inspection.
