receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection Report, please install proper signage at the Facility entrance as
listed in 15NCAC 13B .0566 (16) on your LCID notification form.
8) Inert debris consisting of scrap concrete, concrete block and brick is being stockpiled in an area adjacent to
the landfill access ramp. *Please note that the State rules regarding recovered materials state that for a
material to qualify as a recovered material, the majority of the material (75% or more) must be sold, used, or
re-used within twelve months. Any inert debris not re-used within twelve months of placement on-site, should
be properly disposed in the LCID landfill.
9) Exposed re-bar was observed in the scrap concrete staged on-site. *As per our conversation, all re-bar should
be cut off flush with the surface of the concrete and removed from the site for recycling or proper disposal.
10) Marker stakes have not been placed around the toe of the landfill delineating the boundary of the 2-acre
disposal area. *The 2-acre waste disposal boundary should be measured and the perimeter of the landfill
should be staked with permanent, highly visible markers to identify the landfill footprint boundaries and all
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.

reaches 1 acre in size, whichever occurs first.
13) The southern and eastern outside slopes have not been compacted and covered as required (please see aerial

and are seeded and mulched to establish a groundcover suitable to prevent erosion of the landfill cap system.
