The facility is a land clearing and inert debris (LCID) landfill, with operations that include the treatment and processing of used concrete and wood waste as specified in the new permit, issued January 30, 2019. 2. The current Permit to Operate, and cover log were available for review onsite, as required. The approved operations plan is included on the site plan drawings. Please ensure a copy of the approved site plan drawing set is kept at the facility for review if requested. 3. Proper signage was observed at the facility entrance. 4. The site is secured by means of a gate that is kept locked when the facility is not open to the public. The remainder of the roadway frontage is either thickly wooded or fenced, both of which serve to prevent unauthorized access to the site. 5. An attendant is on duty at all times while the facility is open to the public. The attendant screens incoming loads to ensure that only permitted wastes are accepted for processing or disposal, and directs trucks to the proper tipping area for unloading. 6. Facility access roadways are of all-weather construction and were found to be well -maintained. 7. In general, the facility was observed to be clean and well kept. Windblown litter was minimal and appeared to be well -managed. 8. A roll -off container is kept onsite for the temporary storage of any unacceptable waste separated from incoming loads, and for trash generated by staff at the facility. The container is taken to the Davidson County Landfill (permit # 2906) for proper disposal as needed. 9. A series of metal bars is set into the access roadway just inside the entry gate. The attendant directs vehicles leaving the site to cross the bars so that excess mud and dirt are removed from vehicle tires prior to entering the public roadway. No mud was observed on the roadway outside the facility entrance. 10. The slopes of the excavated area appeared to be stable with grades shallow enough to inhibit erosion. No erosion was evident in the excavated area of the site. 11. The working face was small and manageable, and waste appeared to be well compacted. 12. No unacceptable material was observed in the working face or in the unprocessed waste staged for disposal. 13. The cover log indicated that the landfill had been covered with clean soil on July 23, 2019. Mr. Phillips stated that the process of compacting and covering all exposed waste in the landfill had been delayed by several heavy thunderstorms that had occurred over the weekend and earlier in the week. He added that, with the improved weather conditions, he expected that all waste would be covered by the end of the week. 14. Most of the wood waste that had been stockpiled on top of the landfill had been deposited into the landfill or removed. A stockpile of logs remained on the northwest side of the fill area. Mr. Phillips stated that he was still working to prepare part of the wood waste operations area so that these logs could be moved off the landfill into the approved location. Ensure that the remaining wood waste stored on top of the landfill is moved to the wood waste operations area as shown on the approved site plan drawings. 15. Since the previous inspection on July 30, 2019, additional progress had been made in regrading the southern portion of the site so that storm water has a clear path from the excavated area to the sediment pond, which is located to the south of the concrete processing area. Mr. Phillips stated that the wet weather had slowed this work as well. 16. The sediment pond was observed and found to be almost full. However, the skimmer appeared to be functioning properly. Mr. Phillips stated that he had not yet been able to access the pond to complete the maintenance required by the DEMLR erosion control inspector, again, due to the wet conditions on the site. He added that all erosion control and NPDES recordkeeping was up to date. Ensure that the sediment pond is repaired and maintained so that it functions as designed and complies with the approved erosion control plan. 17. A drying area for clean soil had been created near the middle of the site. Mr. Phillips explained that the wet weather had made it necessary to be able to spread clean soil out to dry in between rain events so that workable soil was available for use in maintaining and covering the landfill. The drying area appeared to be contained, and no evidence of sedimentation was noted as a result of this procedure. 18. Concrete processing operations take place in an approved 1.7-acre area at the southeastern end of the site. No crushing operations were in progress during this inspection. However, processed concrete was being relocated to make room for additional crushing to take place.

A roll -off container was staged in the concrete operations area for collecting metal rebar and pipe as it is separated from the concrete during the crushing process. The metals container was observed to be full, and Mr. Phillips stated that it would be hauled off and replaced within the next few days. 20. The landfill operator, Jeff Johnson, was in the process of relocating piles of concrete waste that had been dropped off at the site so that incoming vehicles could maneuver safely using the desired traffic pattern. 21. The approved operations plan states that a maximum of 1,000 tons of concrete, both processed and unprocessed, would be accumulated on the site at one time. Ensure that the amount of concrete stored onsite remains under the 1,000-ton maximum.
