ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1. The facility is permitted as a Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill. Facility operations also include a
treatment and processing area for concrete, asphalt and brick (CAB).
2. The facility is permitted to receive C&D waste, inert debris, land clearing waste and used asphalt that is
generated in Forsyth County.
Records Review:
3. The current Permit to Operate and approved Operation Plan (dated May 2014) were available at the scale house
and reviewed. It was noted that the permit will expire in April of 2020, and that the renewal request must be
submitted by October 6, 2019.
4. Tonnage records were provided by Mr. Rickett via email and included data for FY 2016-17, FY 2017-18 and
FY 2018-19. A review of the information indicated that a total of 47,690.57 tons of waste were accepted at the
facility during FY 2018-19; 38,646.20 tons of waste were accepted during FY 2017-18; and, 42,426.25 tons of
waste were accepted during FY 2016-17. A total of 23,772 loads (trips) were brought to the facility for disposal
in FY 2018-19.
5. In response to a question about covering waste at the facility, Mr. Rickett stated that waste is covered on
Fridays at the end of operations. He explained that this schedule ensures that the landfill is in good condition
over the weekend when the facility is closed. If bad weather is expected or a holiday falls on a Friday, staff will
choose another day of the week to apply adequate soil cover.
6. Landfill gas monitoring is performed quarterly by facility staff. Records of the last four sampling events were
provided for review. These records indicated that sampling took place on September 25, 2018, December 20,
2018, March 19, 2019 and June 24, 2019. Sampling logs noted that, during the March 19, 2018 sampling event,
MM5 was not sampled due to maintenance taking place to eliminate water intrusion into the well.
7. Groundwater monitoring takes place semi-annually, as required, and is performed by HDR Engineering.
Reports covering the last two sampling events were provided for review. These reports indicated that the second
sampling event for 2018 took place November 26, 27 and December 11, 2018; and, the first sampling event for
2019 took place May 7 through 10 and May 29 through 31, 2019.
8. Mr. Rickett stated that the number of waste screenings had been increased, based on discussions that took place
about achieving the 10% of waste prescribed by the approved Operations Plan. The waste screening logs
covering May and June of 2019 were reviewed. Entries were found to be complete, including the disposition of
any unacceptable waste identified in the loads.
9. Training records for facility staff were reviewed, and the following NC SWANA Landfill Operations Specialist
training certifications were on file and current:
George Freddie Tilley — expires February 8, 2020;
Clayton Hart — expires February 17, 2020;
Jonathan Peavy — expires February 20, 2021.
In addition, a current SWANA Manager of Landfill Operations certificate was on file for:
Adam W. Rickett — expires May 6, 2020.
Field Inspection:
10. Proper signage was observed at the facility entrance. Facility traffic is primarily controlled by the direction of
the scale house operator. Signs posted throughout the public areas further assist customers by indicating the
location of various operational areas.
11. The site is protected from unauthorized access by a perimeter fence and secured by gates that are kept locked
when the facility is closed.
12. Access roads are of all-weather construction and were found to be in good condition. No equipment ruts or
erosion were evident on the roadways.
13. The facility was observed to be clean and neatly maintained. Windblown litter was well managed, and Mr.

Rickett stated that a clean-up crew works daily to pick up litter.
14. An area dedicated for the stockpiling of clean concrete, asphalt and brick (CAB) is located west of the scale
house. During this inspection, a large amount of inert debris was stored in this location. Mr. Rickett stated that a
contract for crushing the material was in the works. He pointed out the small amount of processed inert debris
remaining from the previous crushing contract and noted that this processed CAB material is essential to the
operation of the landfill for maintaining the access roadways and tipping areas.
15. A sign is posted in the CAB area listing materials that are permitted to be dumped there. Mr. Rickett stated that
the scale house operator thoroughly screens CAB loads to ensure they are clean and uncontaminated, and that
facility staff check the area several times during daily operations to collect any trash or contaminated materials
and dispose of them in the working face. No unacceptable materials were observed in the CAB area.
16. DS34-006, the facility's designated temporary disaster debris storage site, is situated across the access roadway
from the CAB area and was observed in passing. Mr. Rickett stated that the site is still available for use when
needed.
17. The inactive areas of the landfill had well -established vegetative cover. These areas appeared to be well -
maintained, and no woody growth was noted. Mr. Tilley pointed out several areas of the slopes that had washed
out during rainstorms. These areas had been repaired, and soil cover was observed to be well tracked into the
slope. Mr. Tilley added that seeding would take place, as usual, in the fall.
18. Edge of waste markers were clearly visible on all areas of the landfill and allowed the identification of the waste
boundary along an unbroken line of sight around the landfill perimeter.
19. Several landfill gas and groundwater monitoring wells were viewed during the inspection and all appeared to
meet construction standards, including locking caps, steel casings set in concrete, and permanent identification
tags. Mr. Rickett stated that all of the wells at the facility had been inspected and any necessary repairs had been
made following the damage found in monitoring wells at the MSW landfill the previous year.
20. The active portion of the landfill was observed to have good operational cover. Some small erosion rills were
noted on the slopes adjacent to the current working face, and facility staff were working to repair these areas
during the inspection. Heavy rain events had taken place several times during the month leading up to this
inspection. Mr. Rickett stated that facility staff endeavor to keep up with rain damage as soon after storm events
as conditions on the landfill permit.
21. The approach to the tipping area was wide enough to allow 4 or 5 trucks at a time to maneuver safely. The
tipping area itself was flat and well -compacted, resulting in minimal waste being exposed by trucks and
equipment. Traffic in the tipping area was well managed by facility staff.
22. The working face was observed to be small and well -controlled. Soil was placed around the working face to
contain waste during operations. Clean soil had been tracked in on the side slopes adjacent to the working face.
As a result, the entire operations area appeared to be clean and free of exposed trash. Waste appeared to be well
compacted.
23. No unacceptable materials were observed in the working face.
24. During this inspection, a facility staff member was observed conducting a waste screening. The driver of the
vehicle carrying the load to be inspected was directed to the side of the tipping area; unloading took place
slowly so that the waste was spread out and easily viewed. The staff person walked around the load, speaking
with the driver as he did so, and noting the types of material contained in the load on a log sheet. Once the
screening was complete and no unacceptable material was found, the driver was thanked and allowed to leave.
25. During the previous inspection on August 27, 2018, two working faces had been in operation — one at the
northern end of the active area that was used during dry weather and the other on the eastern side that was used
during wet conditions. Mr. Tilley stated that he had stopped using the dry weather area a few days earlier. An
inspection of this previous operational area found that most of the waste had been covered and grading was in
progress. Mr. Tilley explained that he was preparing this area to tie into the adjacent cell as the fill sequence
progressed. He added that adequate cover would be applied to the waste before the end of the week, as required.
26. Some of the facility's erosion control measures were observed and found to be in good condition and
functioning properly, including ditch lines, slope drains and sediment basins. No signs of erosion were noted.
