STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
UNRESOLVED: 15A NCAC 13B .1627 (d)(1), "Following closure of each MSWLF unit, the owner or operator shall
conduct post -closure care... (which) consists of at least the following... (B) Maintaining and operating the leachate
collection system in accordance with the requirements in Rules .1642 and .1626. "
And 15A NCACI3B .1626 (8)(d), "Leachate shall be contained within a lined disposal cell or leachate collection and
storage system. "
Nash County is in violation of the above rules in that leachate was observed seeping from the landfill and flowing
into a drain pipe. The seep is located near the north east corner of the landfill, close to the top. It is just below the area of
impounded water, which is likely the cause of the leachate seep. During the April 2, 2019 follow-up inspection, the seep
was still flowing into the pipe. The outflow of this pipe is unknown but is thought to be one of two drain pipes, one at the
northeast corner of the landfill and the other along the eastern side in the woods. Both outflows had a small amount of
liquid flowing from them and flowed into an old sediment basin in the woods.
ear the top of the landfill.
Northeastern outflow pipe (left) and Eastern outflow pipe in woods (right) both with flowing liquid.

Liquid in the old sediment basin where both outflow pipes drain to.
UNRESOLVED: 15A NCAC 13B .1627 (d)(1), "Following closure of each MSWLF unit, the owner or operator shall
conduct post -closure care... (which) consists of at least the following: (A) Maintaining the integrity and effectiveness
of any cap system, including making repairs to the cover as necessary to correct the effects of settlement, subsidence,
erosion or other events and preventing run-on and run-off from eroding or otherwise damaging the cap. "
And 15A NCACI3B .1626 (8)(b), "Surface water shall not be impounded over or in waste"
Nash County is in violation of the above rules in that, during the inspection, two areas of the closed MSW landfill
were observed with water ponding over waste. These areas, located along the north slope near the top and along the
southwestern slope about half way down, also had wetland vegetation, indicating that standing water is frequently an
issue. During the April 2, 2019 follow-up inspection, these areas had not been repaired.
OBSERVED VIOLATIONS:
The following observed violations were noted in the January 23, 2019 inspection report as "additional comments" and
were not resolved as of the April 2, 2019 inspection. Please resolve all observed violations (noted in bold) within 30
days of this report to avoid further enforcement action.

2. According to 15A NCAC 13B .1629 (c)(3), "Post -closure use of the property shall not disturb the integrity
of the cap system, base liner system, or any other components of the containment system, or the function
of the monitoring systems unless necessary comply with the requirements in this Section.
a. People riding ATVs over the landfill have left trails in the cap. It was noted during the inspection that
this is occurring during non -operating hours. Increased security measures may be necessary to prevent
unauthorized entry.
b. Trees and woody shrubs have begun to grow on landfill, which could disturb the cap. Mowing and
removal of woody growth is necessary. Ben Barnes said they are working on getting the landfill
mowed.
6403-CDFL-2000:
1. The permittee must maintain permanent markers that accurately identify the edge of the approved waste
disposal boundary. During the inspection, many of the edge of waste markers were missing. Ben Barnes said
the markers have been ordered and will be installed when they arrive.

15A NCAC 13B .0542 (f)(2) states, "areas which will not have additional waste placed on them for three
months or more, but where final termination of disposal operations has not occurred, must be covered
and stabilized with vegetative ground cover or other stabilizing material." The side slopes of the CDLF
were lacking vegetation.
Ir ,a
No vegetative ground cover on older section of CDLF.
Temporary Yard Waste Area:
1. Non -conforming waste, such as engineered wood and plastics were observed in the YW area.
2. The temporary yard waste storage area was approved for a one-year time frame on November 16, 2017
