The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance

3. The landfill was observed to be well-maintained, with an established vegetative cover that is mown and repaired
daily, based on the grounds maintenance policies and procedures of the golf course.
4. No ponding water was observed at the facility, and no evidence of erosion was found.
5. Stormwater devices were observed to be clean and functioning correctly.
6. The facility performs groundwater monitoring on a semi-annual basis, as required. The latest reports, representing
sampling dates of August 11, 2016 and February 9, 2017, were verified and reviewed.
7. The groundwater monitoring system is comprised of 3 monitoring wells. Two of the wells, MW-3 and MW-6, are
situated between the toe of the landfill and Hanks Branch – a small creek located to the southwest of the landfill.
The remaining well, MW-4, is sited between the toe of the landfill and Hunts Fork – another small creek located to
the northwest of the landfill.
8. MW-3 is sited near a slope drain, and is constructed with the requisite steel casing set into a concrete pad. The
hinge on the protective casing was broken and no lock was present to secure the well. The steel casings of both
MW-6 and MW-4 were intact and set into a concrete pad. However, both were also lacking a lock. Please ensure
that the hinge on the steel case of MW-3 is repaired, and padlocks are installed on all three monitoring wells,
as required by 15A NCAC 02C .0108(k). A copy of the memorandum concerning the construction standards
for monitoring wells, circulated to all facilities in North Carolina on March 23, 2017, is provided along with
this inspection report.
