ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The engineered structural fill was built in accordance with NCAC 13B .1700. The fill utilizes approximately 40,000
cubic yards of coal as excavated from the land designated to become the Piedmont Triad Research Park. Based on
historical records of the Research Park property, the source of the ash was believed to be from the former Manufactured
Gas Plant which operated from 1900-1960 along Third and Fourth Streets in downtown Winston-Salem.

1) The site is addressed as 2000 Lowery Street and is owned by the City of Winston-Salem

2) The structural fill is divided into two portions; an “Upper Terrace” and a “Lower Terrace” with a power line
easement running north-south between them. The upper terrace has a gravel parking area on top which will be
used primarily for the periodic storage of city owned equipment such as leaf collection equipment or
construction materials.

3) The area within the power line easement was not disturbed during the placement of the ash.

4) The encapsulation of the fly ash with a small quantity of bottom ash used in the project was completed in
August 2013. The geo-fabric cap was completed shortly afterward. The facility is covered with a minimum of
12-inches compacted earth and an additional 6-inches of surface soil capable of supporting native vegetation as
per 15A NCAC 13B .1705(j).

5) No evidence of erosion was observed during the site inspection. Slope drains have been installed to minimize
erosion from storm events. The side slopes were well vegetated and do not have a slope greater than a 3:1 ratio
as per 15A NCAC 13B .1705(l). City staff inspect the site on a monthly basis for erosion or other maintenance
concerns.

The item(s) 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.

6) The upper terrace is accessed through the gate on Lowery Street for the former Bahnson facility which is now
owned by the City of Winston-Salem and occupied by the Sanitation Division. The lower terrace is accessed
from a gravel drive west of the main gate; this drive is secured with a locked gate.

The slopes are well vegetated (Upper Terrace). Gravel pad on upper terrace
