addition, the following non -conforming wastes were observed: insulation, painted asphalt, painted concrete,
concrete with PVC piping, metal, engineered wood, plastics and some miscellaneous trash.
B. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (4) states, "Adequate soil cover shall be applied monthly, or when the active area reaches
one acre in size, whichever comes first."
At the time of the inspection, the perimeter of the LCID was uncovered. This issue was also noted in the
September 5, 2018 and February 13, 2018 inspection reports. The top of the LCID was well covered with soil and
there were piles of soil along the edge. It is clear that the intent was to cover the LCID, however since this is an
ongoing issue for the facility, it is being listed as an observed violation.
C. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (10) states, "Surface water shall be diverted from the working face and shall not be
impounded over waste."
And 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (11) states, "Solid waste shall not be disposed of in water."
During the inspection, surface water was observed ponding against the LCID fill.
D. The Facility Permit 42A-LCID, issued September 30, 2015, Attachment 3, Part 1, Number 8 states,
"Excavation, grading and fill material side slopes must not exceed a ratio of three horizontal feet to one vertical
feet (3:1)."
Some of the slopes, especially the slope leading to the front entrance, where the water was ponding, were steeper
than 3:1. This issue was also noted in the September 5, 2018 and February 13, 2018 inspection reports.
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.
