NOTICE OF VIOLATION(S):
None
STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
None
AREAS OF CONCERN AND COMMENTS:
1. On site for initial audit on 01/08/09t. Noted that waste pile contained bagged leaves. The YWN letter from
the Section dated 06/17/09 stated that grass clippings and leaves required segregation and composting. It
appeared as though the mulched waste pile was commingled and should be composted under the .1400 Rules.
Please contact Liz Patterson (919-508-8511) to discuss this process and address Item 12 on your YWN
form.
2. The signed YWN application stated that the site is governed under 15A NCAC 13B .1402(g)(3) which states
that the facility agrees to operate with operational requirements as set forth in Rule .1406 and the setbacks in
Rule .1404 (a)(1)-(9). These setbacks require the following (in part):

• A 50-foot minimum buffer between property lines for Type 1 facilities;
• A 50-foot minimum buffer is required between perennial streams/rivers; and
• A site shall not cause a discharge of materials or fill materials into waters or wetlands of the state,
discharge pollutants into waters of the state, or cause non -point source pollution of the waters of the
state.
3. It was noted during the initial site visit (01/08/09) ground/mulched material was within —20 feet of a creek and
within —50 of the property boundary (road). During the audit of 01/29/09 this condition had been addressed.
All material had been pulled back from the property boundary buffer, most of the aged material on site had
been ground, and the ground material had been pulled back from the creek buffer. Additionally, the plastic
bags (leaf bags) had been cleared from the waste piles. During the inspection of 4/14/09, the set -back buffers
had been marked with flagged stakes. See photos at end of audit.
4. Please continue to maintain a clean waste stream (no plastic or other unacceptable materials), maintain your
set -backs to both the property boundary and the creek, continue to remove/grind the older materials located
along the creek edge of the property, and contact the Composting Branch to discuss your intake of Yard Trash
(leaves/grass).
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this audit report.
