ADDITIONAL COMMENTS;

1 - The property owners are William and Jane Bass 5370 Bass Rd. Lucama, NC 27851 phone # [phone].
Parcel ID# 2699824564.000 2 – Yard Waste and Yard Trash has been comingled. All will need to go through the required composting procedures unless separated.
3 - Clean loads of leaves can be passively composted in “static piles” which require minimum management. Temperatures should be checked to prevent spontaneous combustion and require turning annually. There
should be a separate pile for each year. Composting normally takes from six to twelve months. It is best to
collect leaves and other yard waste separately.
4 - Yard waste facilities shall follow the time and temperature requirements listed in 15A NCAC 13B .1406(10) for all yard trash feedstocks. The temperature requirements include the compost process being maintained at
or above 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees F) for 3 days and aerated to maintain elevated temperatures. Yard
trash is defined within 130A-290(a)(45) as solid waste consisting solely of vegetative matter resulting from landscaping maintenance. Leaves from landscaping maintenance and grass clippings are considered yard
trash. 5 - Brush and woody waste should be piled separately for future grinding.
6 - An end user needs to be found for composted yard waste and any ground mulch so that it is not left
permanently on the site.
7 - Keep any waste other than yard waste or vegetative debris out of the facility. Need to remove. 8 - Plastic bags with leaves were found, treated lumber, plywood and a mattress was the non-conforming waste found.
9 -The town had remove a burned down building and had stored the remains on this Notified Yard Waste site. This
needs to be taken to a permitted landfill. Keep the receipts from the landfill in records for review on the next inspection. 10-Also, need to put up signage. Not open to the public and contact information in the event of an emergency. Can use
911 for the phone number. A cable or gate would deter anyone from dumping on your site also.
11 - Corrective action needed upon the findings of this inspection. 12 - Digital pictures taken and attached to this report.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
