INSPECTION REPORT
Landfill Annual Inspection Report
Purpose:
This inspection checklist has been developed to meet the requirements for inspections by a
qualified professional engineer for a coal combustion residual (CCR) landfill. This checklist
exceeds the requirements for 40 Code of Federal Regulations 257.84(b). This inspection of the
Alma Off‐Site Disposal Facility Phase IV Landfill was performed by TRC Environmental
Corporation on behalf of Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC).
The goal of the inspection is to ensure that the design, construction, operation, and maintenance
is consistent with recognized good engineering practices. In addition, the inspection looked for
conditions of structural weakness or conditions that may affect the safe operation of the CCR
unit.
The following were performed for the inspection of the CCR unit.
Review of Available Information:
The following documents were reviewed in preparation of the site visit.
Health and Safety Plan
Fugitive Dust Control Plan (10/14/2015)
Plan of Operation (October 2000)
Annual Landfill Inspection Report (12/21/15)
Post‐Closure Plan (10/2016)
Closure Plan (10/2016)
Run‐on and Run‐off Control System Plan (10/2016)
Corrective Measures Report for Storm Water Runoff Event of Aug 8, 2015
Weekly inspections performed by qualified personnel (11/23/2015 through 11/2/2016)
Comments on the Operating Record: Electronic system, well organized, accessible in office
Summary of the Site Conditions (based on document review):
DPC operates a CCR landfill (Alma Off‐Site Disposal Facility Phase IV Landfill) located in the
NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 19 and portions of Sections 18 and 20, T21N, R12W, Town of
Belvidere, Buffalo County, Wisconsin (see Figure 1). The location of the Phase IV landfill is in a
valley along with three phases of non‐contiguous closed landfills. This inspection addresses

INSPECTION REPORT
only the Phase IV landfill, because the Phase 1, II, and III landfills were closed prior to the
promulgation of the federal CCR rule (40 Code of Federal Regulations 257.50 through 107).
The Phase IV landfill is permitted through the state of Wisconsin. To date the liner system
Cells 1, 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B have been constructed with final cover installed over a portion of
Cells 1, 2A, and 2B. Cell 3B of the Phase IV landfill was constructed during 2015. The landfill
construction included a composite liner system, composite cover system, leachate collection
system, leachate storage tank, and storm water controls (diversion berms, sedimentation basin,
ditching, and downslope flumes). During summer of 2016, 2.8 acres of final cover were
installed over the remaining portion of Cell 1 and portions of Cells 2A and 2B.
Changes to the unit since the previous report:
Since the inspection in 2015, CCR placement has begun in Cell 3B and final cover was installed
over a portion of Cells 1 and 2.
Approximate volume of CCR in the unit at the time of the inspection: Approximately
975,300 cubic yards (based on November 2, 2016 topographic survey)
Visual Inspection:
A site visit and visual inspection were performed by Jonathan Hotstream (TRC Environmental
Corporation) on November 9, 2016.
