If the larger branches can be kept separate, then those could be ground and used as mulch and the separated landscaping debris would have to be composted according to the rules. All of the material at the site appears to be comingled and thus must be composted according to the rules. The link to the rules is below: http://reports.oah.state.nc.us/ncac.asp?folderName=\Title%2015A%20- %20Environmental%20Quality\Chapter%2013%20-%20Solid%20Waste%20Management Sections .1402 through .1409. 13 – John College checked several of the windrows with a temperature probe and found 1 area where the temperature was at 129 degrees.

You are not required to use the same type probe as long as you have a probe that will meet the requirements for this facility. 14 – There is also another Yard Waste Notified Facility (YWN-46-002) located on another tract of land that adjoins this facility. 15 – John will need to further evaluate the edge of waste markers to distinguish between the YWN 2 facilities and the LCID facility on the next facility inspection to be done soon. 16 – As noted in the Last Inspection Report dated 2/7/18, There are several compliance issues that must be immediately addressed or violation notices will be issued. 17 – John College and Andrew Hammonds (Eastern District Supervisor) will want to meet with The Town Manager, Public Works Director and any other officials to ensure compliance is met moving forward.
