IV. ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS The following identifies enforcement actions taken during this inspection, the required abatement and date of abatement for the violation, previous violations still requiring abatement and the termination of violations cited during previous inspections. Notice of Violation C-96-013 has been issued as a result of the observations documented in Section III of this report, regarding the management of subsoil resources at the Lower Refuse Pile. Detailed observations leading to the issuance of this violation were made on June 12, 1996, and June 13, 1996. Specifically, Notice of Violation C-96-013 is issued for: the operator's failure to separately remove and segregate subsoil material prior to burial with refuse material at the northwest corner of the Lower Refuse Pile; failure to remove subsoil resources so as to ensure the physical and chemical characteristics of the subsoil as evidenced by the use of machinery on areas of the pile sufficiently wet so as to result in machinery becoming stuck in the sot! material, mixing the subsoil with refuse; and failure to obtain approval prior to a subsoil storage location. The subsoil materials buried and mixed during the construction activities were specifically dedicated for use during future reclamation of the refuse pile. All subsoil located on the north and east pile slopes and benches was to be salvaged for use during future reclamation and so as to avoid loss of the dedicated subsoil resources. On June 13, 1996, and immediately upon notification by Mr. Berry that a violation had occurred, Mr. Barbe and Mr. Avery directed the equipment operator to initiate an effort to salvage, to the extent possible, buried subsoil material at the northwest corner of the pile. This effort did result in the recovery of some of the buried subsoil, and in this specific area, abatement of the violation had occurred to the extent possible. Recovery of the subsoil mixed with refuse at the location where the dozer had become stuck (pile east flank) was probably not feasible due to the mixing of materials during wet conditions. Abatement at this location may not be feasible. The unpermitted subsoil pile location remained unabated at the close of the inspection. A specific minor revision addressing the need for additional storage locations will be included as an abatement to this violation.
