ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. The facility is permitted to receive non-hazardous solid waste from Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Cumberland, Duplin, Harnett, Hoke, Johnston, New Hanover, Pender, Robson, Sampson, and Scotland counties.
2. Records were reviewed during inspection. 3. Waste screening forms were available during this inspection. Please ensure screenings are done in accordance with Operations plan, which states, “At least one vehicle per week, but not less than 1% by weight of the waste stream entering
the facility (based on the previous week’s total), will be randomly selected by inspection personnel.” This is at a minimum and any suspicious wastes should be removed to ensure compliance. 4. Facility is secured by fence/gate.
5. Roads in good condition. 6. Reviewed monthly report for September 2019. 7. Scrap tire records were viewed. Tires are removed by Central Carolina. 8. Recyclables were organized well and are sent to PRATT. No longer accepting glass in recycling. 9. Windblown waste appeared to be well managed. Some waste observed loading bay. The waste is picked up daily and as needed. 10. Firefighting equipment is present at the transfer facility. Directly across the drive from the tipping floor is a one-inch water hose available for fire suppression. 11. Tipping floor is washed daily. The push walls were clean and look well maintained.
