    Re: Notice of Violation

    Big Sky Environmental LLC Solid Waste Facility


    Permit No. 37- 48

    Dear Mr. Click:

    On February 1, 2022, Department personnel conducted a site visit of the referenced facility. During the
    visit, the Department documented that a railyard has been constructed within the facility boundary for the
    rail transportation of waste material. The acceptance of waste material via rail and the associated facility
    operations are not currently included in the facility permit or operations plan.

    Big Sky Environmental LLC is hereby notified that it is in violation of ADEM Solid Waste regulations
    contained in Division 335- 13 of the ADEM Administrative Code, as well as sections of Solid Waste
    Permit No. 3748. Specifically, ADEM Admin. Code r. 335- 13- 5-. 02( 5) requires that the permittee must
    submit a request to the Department for modification of the permit at least 120 days prior to the anticipated
    change. Departmental approval must be received prior to implementation of the proposed change.
    Furthermore, Section I. E. 10 of the facility permit states that any change in the design or operating
    procedures as described in the permit would require modification of the permit. In accordance with
    ADEM Admin. Code r. 335- 13- 5-. 06( 2)( b), this change would be a considered a minor modification
    subject to the provisions of 335- 13- 5-. 04 for public participation. To date, no permit modification request
    has been received for the operation of the railyard.

    Immediately upon receipt of this notice, Big Sky Environmental LLC shall cease and desist the
    operation of the railyard for the rail transportation of waste material until such time as the permit
    is appropriately modified. Be advised that the Department retains the option to take further enforcement
    action, including the imposition of monetary penalties for the noted violation, as well as for failure to
    comply with the requirements of this notice. If you have any questions regarding this enforcement action,
    please contact Heather Jones at 334- 271- 7849 or via email at hjones . adem. alabama. gov.
