Cabarrus County

Dear Sir/Madam:

On March 20, 2019, Teresa Bradford, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of
Waste Management Solid Waste Section (Section), inspected the above referenced facility for
compliance with North Carolina solid waste statutes and rules. Mr. Mike Gurley, Environmental
Engineer, was present and represented Republic Services, Inc. during this inspection. The
following violation was noted:

A. 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 13B .1626(8)(d) states in part: “Leachate shall
be contained within a lined disposal cell or leachate collection and storage system. All
leachate shall be treated, as required by the receiving facility, prior to discharge.”

During the inspection, leachate from outbreaks on the southwestern side slope of Cell
2H were observed to have flowed into a slope drain which outlets into a ditch line off
the lined disposal cell. Charlotte Motor Speedway Landfill V is in violation of 15A
NCAC 13B .1626(8)(d) for failing to contain leachate within the lined disposal cell. On
March 23, 2019, Mr. Mike Gurley, Environmental Engineer with Republic Services,

submitted photographs showing that the areas off the lined disposal cell had been
repaired. As, directed by Ms. Bradford, Mr. Gurley has contacted Jackie Drummond,
Hydrogeologist with the Solid Waste Section, regarding a soil sampling plan to access
the impact of the leachate release.

Based upon the foregoing, Charlotte Motor Speedway Landfill V shall come into compliance
with all requirements of the regulations in 15A NCAC 13B .1626(8)(d) by completing the
following:

1. Immediately ensure all leachate outbreaks are repaired.

2. Immediately implement the soil sampling plan as discussed with Ms. Jackie
Drummond, Hydrogeologist with the Solid Waste Section, and submit analytical
results as required. Additional measures may be required pending the results.

3. Ensure all impacted soils are removed and disposed of in the MSWLF.

Charlotte Motor Speedway Landfill V shall provide a written certification with supporting
documentation on company letterhead confirming the noted compliance schedule has been
completed. Include in this certification any actions taken to prevent these violations from
occurring in the future. E-mail this certification to Teresa Bradford at

The violation listed above was 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

be subject to enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid
