ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
On May 31, 2018, John Patrone conducted a comprehensive inspection of the Randolph County Transfer Facility located
on County Land Road in Randleman, Randolph County.

1. The facility is a municipal solid waste (MSW) transfer station.
2. The facility is owned by Randolph County and operated by Waste Management of Carolinas, Inc.
3. The facility ceased accepting solid waste on January 14, 2017.
4. The County intends to maintain the facility permit in case the transfer station is needed to be used to transfer
MSW.
5. During the inspection, there was no MSW on site.
6. The transfer station building is empty. Although, the County may park vehicles in it.
7. The facility is permitted to receive solid waste generated in Randolph County.
8. The facility annual report (FAR) was received by the SWS dated July 28, 2017. Tonnage received July 2016
through June 2017 is 25,613.
9. The facility collects scrap tires. Scrap tires are stored in trailers.
10. The facility collects white goods, scrap metal, metal cylinders, and electronics in a fenced area on the property.
11. The facility operates a convenience center on the property for the collection of MSW, single stream recycling,
used oil, oil filters, antifreeze, batteries, etc.
12. The transfer station tipping floor does not have a leachate drain. When the tipping floor was rebuilt it was
designed to pool leachate in the far corner. At the end of the workday the operator would place MSW in the
leachate for it to absorb into the trash. The MSW would then be placed into the loadout trailer.
13. The loadout bay does not have a leachate drain. When the loadout bay was rebuilt it was designed such that the
loadout bay would need to be swept clean/cleaned daily and the leachate removed.

15. The facility is permitted to receive land clearing debris, high carbon to nitrogen ratio material, and wooden pallets.
