Dear Mr. Dellinger:

On May 8, 2018, Troy Harrison, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste
Management Solid Waste Section (Section), inspected the above referenced facility for
compliance with North Carolina solid waste statutes and rules. George Winchell was present and
represented A Sani-Can, Inc. during this inspection. The following violations were noted:

A. 15A NCAC 13B .0844 (b) states: “All permitted septage management firms shall display
decals or lettering on each side of every pumper vehicle operated by the firm. The decals
or lettering shall include the name, address (town name), phone number, and septage
management firm permit number. All decals or lettering on the pumper vehicle shall be
no less than three inches in height and plainly visible. Identification shall be permanently
attached (i.e., no removable signs).”

A Sani-Can Service, Inc. was in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0844 (b) because on November 15,
2017 it was observed that pumper vehicles (209, 79, 54, 208, 200, 61, 201, 216, 220 and 217)
were in service without the required lettering requirements. Specific lettering violations are
listed in the inspection report.

In addition, the vehicles (ID numbers 32 and 218) were that observed with lettering violations on
November 15, 2017 were not available for inspection on May 8, 2018 nor were photographs to
verify compliance submitted by December 1, 2017 as requested.

The above violations may have or can compromise the facility’s ability to ensure protection of
the public health and the environment and thus require remedial action on behalf of the facility
to maintain compliance with 15A NCAC 13B .0844 (b). In order to resolve these issues, A Sani-
Can Service, Inc. must take the following actions:

1. By July 16, 2018, submit a photograph of the vehicles with the corrected lettering to:
[e-mail]. The photographs were to clearly show, using a ruler, that the
lettering is the required 3 inches in height or greater.

2. In addition, for the other vehicles that haul septage and not inspected on May 8, 2018,
you will need to ensure that they are properly lettered as soon as possible.

The violations 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 administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid
Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit, or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the
N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to
enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management
facility or a solid waste collection service and any such further relief as may be necessary to
achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.

Please keep me informed of your progress in this matter. Solid Waste Section staff will conduct
a follow-up inspection to verify that the facility has completed the requirements of this Notice of
Deficiency.
