5. Standing water was observed on the eastern side of the tipper. 15A NCAC 13B .1626(8)(b) states, "Surface

water from ponding on top of the landfill cell and to provide positive drainage. (See Observed Violations

6. Waste was being unloaded on the southern most side of the cell and was being pushed to the northern
end of the cell. Moving waste in this manner has resulted in a working face that was approximately one
acre in size or greater. All disposed solid waste must be covered with a minimum of six inches of
soil or approved alternative daily cover at the end of each operating day.
7. Waste mixed with previous days cover soil was windrowed on the eastern side of the working face.
Ensure that this material is returned to the working face at the end of the operating day and is
