ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1. This facility is a Small Type 3 facility and 15A NCAC 13B .1402 (f)(6) states "Small facilities are those that
receive less than 1000 cubic yards of material for composting per quarter, and occupy less than two acres of
land". Shane Brantley is looking at accepting more grease trap waste and knows that if he is getting close to
the 1000 cubic yards of waste/ per quarter, that he must submit an application to the Section to become a Large
Type 3 facility.
2. 15A NCAC 13B .1408 (b) Record Keeping: All facility owners or operators shall record and maintain records
for a minimum of five years. Records shall be available for inspection by Division personnel during normal
business hours and shall be sent to the Division upon request:
(1) Daily operational records must be maintained, which include, at a minimum, temperature data (length of the
composting period) and quantity of material processed;
(2) Analytical results on compost testing
(3) The quantity, type and source of waste received;
(4) The quantity and type of waste processed into compost;
(5) The quantity and type of compost produced by product classification; and
(6) The quantity and type of compost removed for use or disposal, by product classification, and the market or
permitted disposal facility
3. There were just a few unacceptable waste materials including plastic bottles and other misc. plastics, in the
wood chip pile and the working windrow. Remember to remove waste on a frequent basis and dispose of
properly.
4. The whole compost site should be mowed on a regular basis, including the 100 foot property line buffer areas,
in order to facilitate the inspection.
5. It is recommended that the soil on either side of the concrete pad, where the leachate has flowed, be
incorporated into the active windrow on a more frequent basis. These dates should be included with the
dailv log. This was not observed on anv of the logged notes. This was stated in the previous inspection
report.
6. Easily visible permanent markers must be established to show the boundaries of the waste area for the
compost operations. This was commented on in the previous report and markers were still not observed.
7. Insure that a minimum of 25 feet, for emergency vehicle access is maintained around the site. There were
mounds of soil that could possibly obstruct emergency vehicles from getting around the site. It is
recommended that completed piles of compost, that have been sampled and test results were acceptable, be
moved to another area of the property.
8. There were broken down trucks and tanks stored within the buffer area of the site, which must be removed to a
location other than the permitted compost facility.
9. The access road was in good condition.
