Instead, ancillary operations were the focus of the inspection. 2. Ms. Harris pointed out a new closed-circuit camera system that had been installed at the facility. She explained that one of the cameras allows her to view loads as they stop on the scales so that she can better screen the incoming materials and direct customers as to where to unload. 3. The scrap metal collection area can also be viewed with the new camera system. Ms. Harris stated that the scale house operator can watch the metal load proceed to the tipping area and then watch as the load is dumped. She added that county staff are now able to stop the customer from leaving if unacceptable material is observed. 4. The scrap metal collection area was inspected and found to be much cleaner, smaller and more contained than during the previous inspection on September 25, 2018. A temporary sign had been installed to identify the area and to give customers unloading instructions. Scrap metal is still collected on the ground, so small pieces of metal mix with the soil. Ms. Harris stated that she is still working to find a suitable space for a concrete pad that could be used for unloading and stockpiling scrap metal. 5. The county contracts with Triad Metal Recyclers to transport and recycle the scrap metal collected at the facility. Ms. Harris indicated that metals are picked up at least annually, and more often if necessary. 6. The white goods and electronics collection areas were found to be clean and well organized with no windblown litter evident. Ms. Harris stated that these areas had been equipped with a camera as well, thus helping to monitor the types of materials dropped off there. 7. The LCID landfill appeared to be unchanged since the last inspection on September 25, 2018. Ms. Harris stated that county staff had not attempted to work in this area, citing the steep slopes and wet conditions that make operations with the county's small, lightweight equipment unsafe. She added that she had been authorized to contract with a company to bring appropriate equipment to the site and compact the material and apply cover as soon as site conditions permit.
