ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The (former) Small Type 3 Compost facility was permitted/approved to produce compost from the Penland School of
Crafts food waste (pre- and post -consumer food waste), as well as yard waste for use in on -campus beds and gardens. The
compost was not offered to the public.
2. The Section issued the facility a Permit Closure letter, dated December 10, 2019 (FID 1378625). A Permit to Operate
the Compost facility was deemed no longer required as the operation met the requirements for the compost permitting
exemption, as described in 15A NCAC 13B .1402(g)(2).
3. On -site January 30, 2020, to confirm 6101-COMPOST-2013 closure status (photo #1).
4. During this inspection, the compost site appeared to meet the conditions and was operated according to the conditions
of the permitting exemption. Site exemption/closure was confirmed.
5. For any proposed future solid waste management activities at the site, please ensure accordance with NC Rules and
Statutes.
6. The Section appreciates Penland School of Craft's commitment to composting and waste reduction in the state of NC.
