SUBJECT: Compliance Inspection Report — October 25, 2018
Fogleman and Fogleman Landfill and Recycling Facility
Permit No. 32F-LCID-
Durham, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Hollomon,
The Solid Waste Section (Section) has reviewed the response letter, dated December 7, 2018,
submitted on behalf of Fogleman and Fogleman Landfill and Recycling Facility (Fogleman LCID)
by Smith + Gardner, Inc (S+G). The letter outlines the planned response actions to address
issues noted in the October 25, 2018 compliance inspection report and sets a proposed
timeline for corrective actions.
Additionally, the letter includes photo evidence of corrective actions taken at Fogleman LCID.
According to the photos, Fogleman LCID has added soil cover to Case A (as defined in the
letter). I appreciate your effort to resolve this area quickly. S+G on behalf of Fogleman LCID
requested a 45-day extension to cover Case B. Given that 45 days have past, as of January 15,
2019, Case B should be covered.
S+G on behalf of Fogleman LCID requested an indeterminate timeframe for covering Case C,
covering as filling progresses. The method of covering in lifts is acceptable, however, the
Section places at a minimum contingency that if incoming tonnage does not allow Fogleman
LCID to address the area of Case C within 60 days of the date of this letter, they move to place
additional soil cover. The concern here is, as you stated, fire. Land clearing material protruding
from uncovered slopes is not the entire scope of the fire risk. Risk of fire increases due to voids
caused by any debris (including concrete and other visible inert waste) creating pockets in the
waste, allowing oxygen to flow in. Thus, cover and compaction is necessary for all LCID waste.
