ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1) This Facility is a closed MSW Landfill, Recycling Collection Site, and Temporary Disaster Debris
Management Site.
2) The site is secured by a gate at the Highway 306 entrance. This gate and access road is shared with the
Coastal Environmental Partnership Pamlico County Transfer Station, which is located on the adjacent
property. The gate was open upon my arrival and Facility personnel were on-site at the Landfill and the
Recycling Center during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
3) The Facility access road is of all-weather construction and is being well maintained at this time.
Electronics are collected and maintained on a concrete pad adjacent to the maintenance shop. *The electronics

collection area is in need of attention. Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection
Report, all recyclable electronics need to be placed on pallets, shrink-wrapped, and maintained in an orderly
manner on the concrete pad until removed from the Facility for recycling.
4) The white goods/scrap metal recycling area was reviewed. All recycling operations are being maintained on
the concrete pad at the eastern end of the landfill.
5) Recyclable metals are separated by type and maintained within separate bays on the concrete pad. All Freon
containing materials are maintained separately from other recyclable metals until the refrigerant is extracted.
Upon extraction, the whitegoods are marked with an X and placed into the collection bays until hauled to the
metal recycling Facility. *Please continue to ensure that all Freon containing white goods are maintained in an
upright condition until the Freon is properly collected for recycling.
6) Used oil filters placed on an oil drain tote system and stored in the collection area until removed from the site
by the oil recycler. Used oil is collected and stored in a used oil drum under a shelter with secondary
containment until collected by the used oil recycler. The secondary containment system appeared to be
functioning properly during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
7) Used batteries are collected and stored on a pallet next to the used oil collection area until removed from the
site for recycling.
8) An oyster shell recycling bin is maintained separately in an area adjacent to the metal recycling area. Oyster
shells are stored until collected for re-use in oyster habitat enhancement by the NC DEQ Division of Marine
Fisheries.
9) Soil has been stockpiled in an area adjacent to the landfill for use in maintenance and repair.
10) A cover-crop of native warm season grasses has been established and overall is well maintained throughout
the landfill.
11) The cover crop is mowed throughout the year as needed. Portions of the landfill cover crop have recently been
mowed.
12) The areas of sparse cover were noted in the previous Facility Compliance Inspection Reports along the

northern sideslope of the top lift have been filled, graded, seeded and mulched. *However, a cover crop
suitable to prevent erosion of the landfill cap system has not been established. Please continue to working in
these areas to ensure a cover crop suitable to prevent erosion of your landfill cap system is established and
maintained as required.
13) Scrap concrete, concrete block, and brick are staged on-site in an area adjacent to the landfill for future
grinding/crushing and re-use. *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 of staging at the site. If the required volume of materials is not re-used within
twelve months, then the materials must be properly disposed at a Facility permitted to receive such wastes.
14) The Facility monitoring wells were reviewed. All wells were readily accessible, secured with functioning
locks, and properly labeled.
15) Overall, this Facility is well maintained and no violations were observed during this Facility Compliance
Inspection.
16) *Corrective measures are required as a result of this Facility Compliance Inspection.
