Dear Mr. Wisecarver:

On October 14, 2019, the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste Management Solid Waste
Section issued a Notice of Violation letter to Running Deer Landfill regarding facility violations.
The Solid Waste Section conducted follow-up inspections of the site on October 21, 2019 and

not been corrected at this time, you are hereby notified that the Section intends to move forward
in the enforcement process. In order to potentially abate any further action forthcoming, it is
recommended that the corrective actions listed in the NOV letter be taken immediately upon

all responsible parties may also be subject to enforcement actions including penalties, injunction
from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any
such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid
Waste Management Act and Rules.

We solicit your cooperation and would like to avoid taking further enforcement actions. At the
same time, it is your responsibility to comply with the requirements of the General Statutes
