ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1. The facility is permitted to receive waste generated within Union County. 2. Union County contracts with Hilco Transport, Inc. to haul waste to the disposal facility. 3. All waste received must be transported for disposal to the Chamber’s Development MSWLF (Permit No. 04-03),
Uwharrie Regional Landfill (62-04) or the BFI-Charlotte Motor Speedway Landfill V (13-04). 4. The Permit to Operate issued on May 13, 2014 incorrectly lists the service area as Rutherford County and the disposal location as the Foothills Environmental Landfill.
5. A gate is provided at the entrance to the facility to prevent unauthorized access. 6. Proper signage is located at the entrance of the facility. 7. All access roads were of all-weather construction and well maintained.
Operations Inspection of the Transfer Facility: 8. The facility currently receives approximately 400 tons of waste each operating day. 9. Observed operations of the transfer facility. 10. No unacceptable waste streams were observed. 11. Windblown waste was well controlled at the time of the inspection. Records Review: 12. Reviewed the permit, operations plan, training records, tonnage records, random load inspection records, leachate pump and haul records and the log which documents the date the transfer station walls, floor, drains and scale areas are cleaned.
13. Leachate is collected in a trench drain and piped to a 3000-gallon leachate concrete holding tank. The leachate is pumped and hauled, as needed, to a discharge point and then discharged into the Union County Public Works Sanitary Sewer System. The leachate holding tank was pumped out on 6/5/19 and 6/10/19. 14. Transfer Station Operations Specialist Certifications:
