On June 24, 2005, I conducted a routine inspection of the Republic Services of Colorado,
Front Range Landfill, located at 1830 WCR 5, in Weld County, Colorado. Edd Nestor and
John Kendall with JBK Engineering accompanied me during the inspection. The purpose of
the inspection was to inspect and assess the facility's compliance with the "Regulations
Pertaining to Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities" (the Regulations) as promulgated
by the Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, Title 30, Article 20, Part 1, C.R.S., as
amended, and the Development Standards as set forth in Weld County Use by Special
Review Permit No. 925 (USR-925). The Standards set forth in USR-925 were adopted by
the Town of Erie in Ordinance No. 504.
On this date, no deficiencies were observed.
Additionally, the following general observations were recorded concerning the facility on this
date:
1) For the period of April 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005, a total volume of 1110 yards
of materials was recovered for recycling purposes. The total volumes of recyclable
materials are broken down into the following categories:
0 yards of cardboard 270 yards of metal
0 yards of plastics/aluminum/glass 840 yards of paper
In accordance with the facility's Recycling Demonstration, approved in a letter dated
March 22, 1999, the quantity of recyclable materials is reported in the facility's
independent quarterly inspection report.
2) All routine monitoring activities (groundwater, methane, and leachate) have been
conducted as required.
3) The facility continues to provide service to the Towns of Carr and Hereford as
required in development standard #41. Service is not provided to the other towns
because alternative trash service has become available in the recent years.
4) The facility maintains radiation detector records documenting all occasions when the

alarm is set-off. During the time of December 18, 2004 through March 24, 2005, the
alarm did not sound off. Alpha Group of Boulder, Colorado, last calibrated the
detector on July 8, 2004. According to the facility's Radioactive Waste Screening
Procedures, the detectors are to be calibrated annually.
5) On this day, I observed the perimeter of the facility. I did not observed windblown
debris at the perimeter of the facility.
6) The facility is currently filling in Cell VI and VII. Construction and Demolition
materials are being placed in cell VI. Municipal Solid Waste is being placed in cell
VII. The facility received 166,002.88 tons of waste during the period of March, 23,
2005 through June 23, 2005.
7) The facility conducted 45 random load inspections during the period of March 25,
2005 through June 24, 2005. There were two load rejections as a result of these
inspections. The load was rejected because the load appeared to contain untreated
infectious waste. The load rejections occurred on April 5, 2005 and April 12, 2005.
The facility is required to conduct a minimum of two inspections per week.
According to Mr. Nestor, the facility provides information, to any person(s) that are
attempting to dispose of inappropriate household hazardous wastes, concerning
Weld County Household Hazardous Waste Collection sites so that the wastes can
be properly disposed.
8) The facility maintains a wind speed log. The log was reviewed as a part of the
inspection. Two wind closures occurred during the months of March 25, 2005
through June 24, 2005. Those closures occurred on April 5, 2005 and April 17,
2005.
9) All surface water control features are in place and appear to be managing surface
water as described in the design and operations plan as well as the temporary
structures that are constructed with each individual cell.
10) The facility has provided an annual Household Hazardous Waste Program
Summary, from February 2004 through February 2005, to the Town of Erie and Weld
County, in accordance with the Household Hazardous Waste Information Program
(the Program), approved February 23, 1999. As stated in the Household Hazardous
Waste Program Summary, proper signage has been posted at the gate entrance,
brochures were available on this day of inspection, the Hazardous Waste Exclusion
Plan was properly maintained and on site. The public Household Hazardous Waste
Presentation and Education requirements have been fulfilled for the year 2005.

while taking into account adjacent drainage mitigation.
