Investigation Comment:
A complaint investigation was conducted on 11/8/06. At that time no mud was noted on the roads leading away from the landfill. The landfill manager stated that following the rain event over the weekend of 11/4-5/06, vehicles leaving the landfill had tracked mud onto the road. The landfill has a water truck and a sweeper, however, on the morning of 11/6/06 it was too foggy to clean the road. The dense fog created a safety hazard for the equipment operators so Mr. Thompson did not promptly clean the roads.
NPDES Storm Water Reconnaissance Inspection of the permitted facility will be completed and a compliance letter sent to the operator.
