OBSERVED VIOLATIONS: None. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. The facility is a notified land clearing and inert debris (LCID) landfill, permitted to receive land clearing waste, 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 with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit, or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.

The facility was not open at the time of this inspection, and the entry gate was locked, as required. Proper signage was observed on the entry gate. Mr. Strader stated that the facility sign had been posted a few days after the October 30, 2018 inspection. 3. Some unacceptable material, in the form of painted concrete waste, was again observed in the inert debris stockpile located immediately inside the facility entrance. Mr. Strader stated that he would be starting shearing and crushing operations within the next 10-15 days, and that all unacceptable material would be removed from the pile as they were encountered and disposed of properly. In a phone conversation after the inspection, Mr. Strader stated that he had begun to shear the inert debris and separate the metals and painted concrete. Ensure that all unacceptable materials are disposed of at a solid waste facility permitted to accept such waste, and that copies of all disposal receipts are provided to the Solid Waste Section. Failure to address the issue of acceptance and disposal of unacceptable materials, as required by 15A NCAC 13B .0566(2), may result in tiered enforcement action. 4. During the previous inspection of October 30, 2017, Mr. Strader had stated that permanent edge-of-waste markers would be installed by November 30, 2017 that would identify the waste disposal boundary for the facility. No edge-of-waste markers were observed during this inspection. Mr. Strader stated that he had been waiting to get the area cleaned up so that his consulting engineer would have the access required to set the markers. He added that the wet weather had been hampering all his work at the facility. Permanent edge of waste markers must be installed at the facility to ensure that the landfill does not encroach on required buffers (100’ between landfill and property lines and 50’ between landfill and surface waters) or exceed the 2-acre size restriction. Should the landfill exceed 2 acres in size, a full permit must be obtained, as required by 15A NCAC 13B .0563(3)(b). Failure to demonstrate compliance with these requirements may result in tiered enforcement action. 5. During the previous inspection on October 30, 2017, Mr. Strader had stated then that he expected to complete the compacting, grading and covering operations by mid-November 2017. Some progress had been made covering exposed waste in the landfill. However, side slopes were still very steep in areas where waste remains uncovered. Because of wet weather, the facility was muddy and conditions were not suitable for compacting and covering waste. Mr. Strader made assurances that as soon as the facility dries out enough to resume operations safely, he would continue to compact waste and reshape and cover the slopes as required. Adequate soil cover shall be applied monthly, or sooner if the active area reaches one acre in size, as required by 15A NCAC 13B .0566(4). Operating procedures should be amended to include regular compaction of waste and application of soil cover. Failure to cover the exposed waste in the landfill with at least 6” of clean soil as required may result in tiered enforcement action. 6. Mr. Strader stated that no additional waste had been received at the facility since the October 30, 2017 inspection. Ensure that no additional waste is accepted at the facility until compliance has been achieved. 7. Silt fencing was observed to be in place along the entire northern side of the facility. The sediment pond located northeast of the disposal area appeared to be in need of maintenance, as did the sediment trap located just inside the facility entrance. No DEMLR inspection of the facility has been made since October 30, 2017.

The slope is very steep and the waste does not appear to have been compacted. Note the silt fence line with the creek behind it. The toe of the landfill must be at least 50’ from the creek. View of the northeastern side slope where the covered portion of the face ends.
