required buffers as listed in 15A NCAC 13B .0564 (9) on your LCID notification form. Any waste found to
have been placed within this buffer should be pulled back to within the proper disposal area.
6) This Facility is secured by a locked cable-type gate at the Facility entrance and has controlled access for
safety. The cable was locked in place upon my arrival. The site was secure and no attendant was on-site
during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
7) A no trespassing sign is posted at the facility entrance. Proper signage including the Facility name and

qualify as a recovered material, the majority of the material (75% or more) must be sold, used, or re-used
within twelve months.
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

10) The waste type in the landfill was reviewed. The waste type being disposed was LCID only and no
unpermitted wastes were observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
11) The toe of the southern sideslope appears to be encroaching into the buffer area and the pond located south of
the landfill (please see the aerial photo on page 5 of this report). *This area needs to be measured and any
waste found to be in the buffer area or in the pond needs to be pulled back inside the two acre footprint
leaving the required buffer intact.
12) Waste was observed as having been pushed from the working face over the southern sideslope (please see the
aerial photo on page 4 of this report). This area needs to be compacted, covered, and graded at a slope not
greater than 3:1. *The landfill should be constructed in a lift type progression. All waste should be covered
monthly or when the active working area reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first.

13) It appears that the active areas of landfill have not been covered in some time. *Please ensure that the active
working area is covered monthly, or when the active working area reaches 1 acre in size, whichever occurs
first.

14) A cover crop of native warm season grasses and mixed coppice has been established on all inactive portions
of the landfill sideslopes.
15) Some brush, small trees, and woody vegetation was observed growing on the western Facility sideslope.
*Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection Report, please remove all trees and
woody vegetation from the landfill sideslopes. All cleared areas should be seeded and mulched to establish a
cover crop suitable to prevent erosion of your landfill cap system. A regular maintenance schedule needs to be
instituted which should include regular mowing to prevent the establishment of woody vegetation and trees
on the outside slopes of the landfill.
16) Please ensure that all sideslopes are maintained at a slope not greater than 3:1.
17) No off site erosion was observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
18) *Corrective measures are required as a result of this Facility Compliance Inspection.
