Dear Mr. Murphy:
On April 27, 2017 and May 1, 2017, Troy Harrison, representing the State of North Carolina,
Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section (Section), inspected septage pumper vehicles
owned by the above referenced facility for compliance with North Carolina solid waste statutes
and rules. The following violation were noted:
A. North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 130A-291.1 (h1) states in part: “A permitted
septage management firm shall notify the Department within 10 days of placing a pumper truck
in service that was not previously included in a permit issued to the firm and shall make the
pumper truck available for inspection by the Department.”
The above violation may have or can compromise the facility’s ability to ensure protection of the
public health and the environment.
A compliance inspection was conducted on April 27 2017 and May 1 2017 of the septage pumper
vehicles for United Site Services. No further action is necessary.
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.
