treatment and processing area for concrete, asphalt and brick (CAB).
2. The facility is permitted to receive C&D waste, inert debris, land clearing waste and used asphalt that is
generated in Forsyth County.

Records Review:

3. The current Permit to Operate and approved Operations Plan were available in the scale house and were
reviewed.
4. Current SWANA and NC SWANA certifications were on file for the following facility staff:
a. Adam W. Rickett – SWANA Manager of Landfill Operations – expires 5/6/2020;
b. Gray Fultz – NC SWANA Landfill Operations Specialist – expires 2/8/2020;
c. Clayton Hart – NC SWANA Landfill Operations Specialist – expires 2/17/2020;
d. Brian Parker – NC SWANA Landfill Operations Specialist – expires 2/20/2020.
5. Mr. Rickett stated that he had recently completed the annual hazardous waste and emergency action plan
training for all facility staff, as required by the approved Operations Plan.
6. Monthly tonnage records for the facility were provided covering the period from July 1, 2015 through July 31,
2018. While totals fluctuate, annual tonnage for this time period averaged 39,700. Tonnage for July 2018 was
reported as 3,840.57, with 2,099 loads being accepted.
7. Waste screening logs were reviewed for the period October 1, 2017 through August 24, 2018. Individual load
assessments include information about the type of materials found in the load, the hauler and generator of the
waste, and the disposition of any unacceptable waste found. All of the log sheets reviewed appeared to be
complete. These records indicated that at least 6 waste screenings take place during each operating day. The
number of loads per day, as highlighted in the tonnage reports, averaged between 85 and 100. Based on the
10% rate of waste screenings prescribed in the approved Operations Plan, the number of waste
screenings per day should be increased to ensure compliance.
8. Landfill gas monitoring records for the period March 30, 20115 through June 6, 2018 were available for review,
and confirmed that sampling events take place quarterly, as required. No exceedances were noted during this
time period.
9. The two most recent semi-annual ground water monitoring reports were reviewed. 14 monitoring wells and 45
surface water points are sampled, as required by the approved monitoring plan. The report covering the
sampling event which took place on December 28 and 29, 2017 indicated no exceedances for Appendix II
constituents. The report covering the sampling event which occurred May 21 through 24, 2018 was revised to
include an exceedance of vanadium along with sulfate, cobalt, iron, manganese, benzene and tetrachloroethene
– all Appendix II constituents.
10. The facility cover log was not available for review at the time of this inspection. Mr. Rickett explained that Mr.
Fultz, who is the senior crew member and is responsible for maintaining the cover log, was on vacation and that
he wasn’t aware of where the log was filed. Mr. Rickett added that it had become a practice to apply soil cover
every Friday, as a means of reducing the risk of a landfill fire while the facility is closed. Ensure that the
facility cover log is available at the scale house office for review upon request.

Field Inspection:

11. The facility was observed to be clean and well-maintained. No windblown litter was evident at the site. Mr.
Rickett stated that temporary staff work to pick up litter daily.
12. Proper signage was observed at the facility entrance, and traffic signs were posted throughout the facility to
direct customer to the proper tipping locations.
13. Facility roads were of all-weather construction and in very good condition.
14. The stockpile area for concrete, brick and asphalt (CAB) is located east of the scale house on the west side of
the access roadway. Customers whose loads had been identified as containing only clean CAB are directed to
this area, where they are met by facility staff who supervise the dumping of the load. The area contained a small
pile of trash that had been separated from an incoming load. Mr. Rickett stated that these materials are cleaned
up throughout the day, as necessary, and a final check of the area is made prior to closing the facility at the end

of each operating day.
15. The temporary disaster debris storage site (DS34-006), located across the roadway to the southeast of the CAB
area, was observed from the access road. Since the previous facility inspection on October 12, 2018, additional
mowing and clearing had taken place at the site. Mr. Rickett confirmed that the site is still designated for use as
a collection site for vegetative disaster debris.
16. A well-established and well-maintained vegetative cover was evident on the slopes of the inactive areas of the
landfill. Mr. Rickett stated that facility staff mow the landfill cap on an almost monthly basis to prevent woody
growth from encroaching on the fill area.
17. Good operational cover was observed on the active portion of the landfill. An operator was working to track in
additional cover on the eastern slope, where some signs of erosion had appeared as a result of the continued
heavy rain events that had been taking place throughout the summer.
18. The tipping area was large and well compacted, providing a stable surface adequate in size for vehicles and
equipment to maneuver safely. The tipping area appeared to be free from windblown litter, except in the area
immediately adjacent to the working face where vehicles stop to dump their loads.
19. A spotter was present to meet incoming loads, screen the contents, and direct them to a specific spot to unload.
20. No unacceptable waste was observed in the working face. Mr. Rickett stated that any unacceptable material
found is returned to the vehicle that hauled it or, if found after the vehicle has already left the facility, is set to
the side for removal to a roll-off container that will be transported to the Hanes Mill Road Landfill (permit #
3402) for proper disposal.
21. Edge of waste markers were in place and visible.
22. A number of elements of the storm water management system were observed. Slope drains, ditches and
sediment basins all appeared to be in good condition and functioning properly. No signs of erosion were evident
at the facility.
23. Several landfill gas and ground water monitoring wells were observed during the inspection and all were found
to be in good condition, in compliance with construction standards, and marked with the proper identification
tags. Mr. Rickett stated that, after some of the wells at the Hanes Mill Road Landfill had been found to be
deficient, he had checked all of the wells at this facility and made the necessary repairs.

A view of the working face and the eastern slope of the active portion of the landfill. Note the small, well-
compacted working face and good operational cover in place around it.
