Operation Plan for Overdale Road Transfer Station, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, prepared for Republic
Services by HHNT, dated March 13, 2017 and revised April 19, 2017, is included in the List of Documents for
the Approved Plan in ATTACHMENT 1, Part VI: Transfer Station/Treatment and Processing Unit. Operation
Plan for Overdale Road Transfer Station, Winston-Salem, North Carolina (revised April 19, 2017) Section 9.0,
TRANSFER STATION INSPECTIONS, states, in part, "There will be regular inspections conducted at the
transfer station. Items that will be inspected monthly will include, but not be limited to, the following: 1) Transfer
trailers; 2) Push walls; 3) Fire extinguishers; 4) Electrical controls; 5) Trench drain, floor drains, and yard
hydrant; 6) Washdown water collection sump and pump; and 7) Oil/Water Separator. Records of all transfer
station inspections will be maintained in the scalehouse."
Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0203(d) for failure to maintain
records of transfer station monthly inspections of transfer trailers; push walls; fire extinguishers; electrical
controls; trench drain, floor drains, and yard hydrant; washdown water collection sump and pump; and
oil/water separator at the scale house.
During this inspection, Mr. Goins brought copies of missing facility inspection reports to the scale house for
review. However, these inspection reports did not include the items listed in the approved Operation Plan, as
noted above. Mr. Goins stated that he believed these specific inspection points are covered under a different
monthly inspection procedure, adding that he did not have the paperwork for those inspections at the transfer
station. Since the August 13, 2019 inspection of the facility, no additional inspection records have been provided.
B. 15A NCAC 13B .0203(d) states, `By receiving solid waste at a permitted facility, the permittee shall be
considered to have accepted the conditions of the permit and shall comply with the conditions of the permit."
Permit to Operate No. 3416T-TRANSFER-, ATTACHMENT 3, PART VI, Transfer Station/Treatment and
Processing Unit Condition #7(a) states, "The tipping floor and transfer trailer loading area must be maintained in
a clean, sanitary condition at all times and must be cleaned at least daily."
Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0203(d) for failing to maintain
the tipping floor and transfer trailer loading area in a clean, sanitary condition.
During this inspection, a build-up of waste was observed on the steel beams and sheet metal that make up the
transfer station walls, on the deflector panels above the loading bay, on the push walls, and in and around the roll -
off containers and drums of oil in the maintenance area along the southeast interior wall of the building. In
addition, several separations and rips in the panels of sheet metal on the outside wall of the loading bay were
noted. These openings in the building wall were large enough to allow waste to leave the transfer station.
C. 15A NCAC 13B .0402(6) states, "Equipment shall be provided in the storage and charging areas and elsewhere
as needed or as may be required in order to maintain the facility in a sanitary condition."

maintained to prevent the escape of solid, semi -solid or liquid waste, and train facility staff to effectively
implement these procedures so that trailers found to be out of compliance with 15A NCAC 13B .0105 are not
used to transport waste or to store waste on -site.
2. By September 6, 2019, provide copies of all monthly facility inspection reports that include inspection of
transfer trailers; push walls; fire extinguishers; electrical controls; trench drain, floor drains, and yard
hydrant; washdown water collection sump and pump; and oil/water separator for the period October 2018
through August 2019. Reports shall be submitted to Susan Heim via email at [e-mail].
3. By September 20, 2019, clean the entire interior of the transfer station building of waste, including the sheet
metal/steel beam superstructure and concrete walls, the tipping floor, the maintenance area, the push walls,
the deflector panels, and the loading bay.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1. The facility is permitted as an MSW transfer station, designed to accept between 600 and 1500 tons of
waste per day. No ancillary operations are conducted at the facility.
2. The facility is owned by and the permit issued to Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC. Republic
Services contracts with K. R. Drenth Trucking, Inc. to operate the transfer facility and to transport waste to
the Uwharrie Environmental Landfill (permit No. 6204) and the Great Oak Landfill (permit no. 7607) for
proper disposal.
Records Review:
3. The facility annual report for 2018-19 was reviewed and indicated that 127,184 tons of MSW was accepted
at the facility for disposal during the previous fiscal year.
4. Scale House Operator Sandra Lucas, and employee of Republic Services, provided facility records for
review. The life -of -site permit and the approved Operation Plan (revised March 2017) were available, along
with the facility's Emergency Response Plan.
5. Ms. Lucas provided her calendar listing daily tonnage for July 2019 and August 2019 to date. The data
recorded on the calendar amounted to 11,268.43 tons of MSW waste received by the facility in July 2019,
and 3,611.97 tons of MSW waste received from August 1 through August 12, 2019. This averages out to
approximately 490 tons of waste per day.
6. Training records for facility staff were also available for review, and included Republic Services' required
training for PPE, Blood -borne Pathogens, Confined Spaces, and several other safety training programs. In
addition, NCSWANA Transfer Station Operations Specialist certifications were on file for the following
staff:
• Sandra Lucas — expires 7/15/21;
• Mark Tabaczynski —expires 1/1/21;
• Ethan Bicking —expires 11/15/21;
• Brian Bizzell — expires 11/15/21;

7. Ms. Lucas stated that pest control is now contracted through Copesan, Inc. The pest control contractor was
onsite during the inspection and indicated that she treats the facility monthly for insects and vermin.
8. Ms. Lucas stated that the current Fire Marshal's inspection was not available at the facility for review. A
copy of the Fire Marshal's report covering the December 28, 2018 fire safety inspection was provided via
email following the inspection by Mr. Tabaczynski. The report indicated that there were no violations
observed.
9. Copies of monthly facility inspections for the period of January through April 2019 were available at the
scale house for review. Mr. Goins arrived during the inspection and provided copies of the May, June and
July 2019 reports.
10. Monthly inspections of the facility leachate collection system are undertaken separately. Mr. Goins was
unable to provide copies of any of these reports for 2019 during the inspection. Ensure that copies of all
required records are maintained at the scale house, as stipulated in the approved Operation Plan
(revised April 2017). (See Observed Violations section of this report for additional information.)
The facility conducts at least one waste screening per operating day, and the forms detailing these waste
screenings for the period January 2 through August 9, 2019 were reviewed. Most forms appeared to be
Page 8 of 11

D_E FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT

Solid Waste Section
complete, although several were found to be blank except for the date and person conducting the screening.
None of the forms indicated that any unacceptable waste had been found. Ensure that all waste screening
forms are filled out completely.
Please note that the form being used for random waste screenings is illegible. Ensure that a legible
form is used to record future waste screenings.
Field Inspection:
11. The grounds appeared to be clean and well -maintained. Windblown litter was well -managed outside of the
transfer station building, along fence lines and throughout the site.
12. The entire site is paved with asphalt, and storm sewer drains are located along the northwestern fence line to
collect the surface water runoff. These drains were inspected and found to be clean and free of windblown
trash.
13. Access to the facility is restricted by a chain link fence that surrounds the site and is secured by means of
locking gates at the entrance and at the Overdale Road access behind the transfer station building.
14. Proper signage was observed at the entrance to the facility.
15. A fire extinguisher and water hose were observed at the entrance to the tipping floor at the southern corner
of the building and outside the entrance to the loading bay.
16. A number of incoming loads and outgoing trucks were observed during the inspection. Trucks entering the
facility pass over the scales, then proceed to the tipping floor where they are directed by the equipment
operators on duty. Each load is tipped in a separate spot so that any unacceptable waste can be identified
and either returned to the customer that dropped it off or segregated and placed in a roll -off container for
proper disposal at a later time.
17. No unacceptable waste was observed on the tipping floor or in the open transport trailer parked in the
loading bay.
18. The tipping floor was difficult to inspect closely due to the layer of sludge -like waste that covered it.
However, the floor generally appeared to be in good condition, with no deep cracks or holes visible in the
concrete.
19. The leachate collection system is based on a tipping floor that slopes toward a drain hole in the push wall on
the northwestern side of the building that overlooks the loading bay. The drain hole opens onto the upper
wall of the loading bay. Leachate flows down the wall and is then directed toward a floor drain located near
the center of the loading bay. The drain line enters a pipe that takes the leachate through an oil/water
separator that removes solids, then out of the transfer station and directly into the City of Winston-Salem
sewage collection system. Mr. Tabaczynski stated that leachate testing is not required by the city. Some
accumulation of waste was evident in the grate over the floor drain. However, the floor drain appeared to be
open and functioning properly, and leachate was observed flowing to the loading bay from the tipping floor
drain above. No leachate was observed outside the loading bay or on the approach to the tipping floor.
Please ensure that all waste is cleaned from the grate and inside the floor drain in the loading bay at
the end of every working day.
20. The walls on the inside of the transfer station had accumulated a thick layer of dirt and dust, and waste was
visible on the steel beams that make up the superstructure of the building. Mr. Goins was not able to
provide information as to the last time the building had been pressure washed. (See Observed Violations
section of this report for additional information.)
21. A maintenance area had been created on the left inside wall of the transfer station building, along the
southeast side of the tipping floor. Two roll -off containers, a number of what appeared to be oil drums,
several truck tires and various tools and pieces of equipment were stored along the wall in this area. Waste
was observed under and around the containers, drums and equipment. (See Observed Violations section of
this report for additional information.)
22. Following the inspection, Mr. Tabaczynski provided photos that indicated the maintenance area had been
swept to remove much of the waste that had been observed there, and also neatened. Please note that the
"maintenance area" is a part of the tipping floor and must be cleaned daily.

23. Upon arrival at the facility, the loading bay was in the process of being cleared of waste before pulling an
empty trailer in for loading. Facility staff were using a small skid steer to scoop up the trash that had
accumulated between the walls and the trailer and place it into the bucket of the loader so that it could be
placed into the new trailer. The clean-up by the skid steer left waste piled on the curbing next to the loading
bay walls. (See photo in Observed Violations section of this report to view the loading bay after clean-up.)
24. The trailer that had been pulled into the loading bay was inspected and appeared to be intact. No cracks or
holes were evident.
25. A large paved area behind the transfer station building serves as a staging area for extra roll -off containers
and compactors, empty trailers, and loaded trailers waiting to be transported to the disposal facility.
26. Four empty trailers were parked in the staging area at the time of this inspection. Each of these trailers was
inspected and appeared to be intact, with no cracks or holes visible.
27. Two fully loaded trailers were also observed in this staging area. Both were properly tarped, and the side
walls of these trailers appeared to be in good condition. Holes were visible in the floor of trailer T301; no
leachate was observed to be leaking from this trailer. An inspection of the underside of trailer T-396
revealed leachate leaking from a seam in the metal that was split open across the width of the trailer floor.
Both trailers were observed leaving the facility with these structural deficiencies. (See Observed Violations
section of this report for additional information.) Future violations may result in tiered enforcement
action against both Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC and K. R. Drenth Trucking, Inc.
A view of the tipping floor. Loads are dumped in separate piles so that they can be easily
inspected for unacceptable wastes. The accumulation of dirt coating the concrete made
inspection of the tipping floor difficult. (Photo taken by S. Heim 8-13-19.)
