On February 11, 2020, Chuck Kirchner met with A.J. Fuqua to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Caswell County Yard Waste Notification site (YWN) on Landfill Road in Yanceyville, Caswell County. 1. The Caswell County Yard Waste Notification (YWN) facility is located at the closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, number 17-01, adjacent to the scale house. 2. The area used for the YWN is less than two acres. 3. The facility does not compost material. The material accepted is ground for mulch. 4. The facility only accepts LCD material. 5. Temperature monitoring is required if high nitrogen to carbon ratio material (e.g. grass or leaves) are accepted prior to being re-distributed to the public. 6. Material accepted is required to be less than 6,000 yd³ quarterly, processed and unprocessed combined. 7. Throughput records were verified for fiscal year 2018-2019. Facility Annual Renewal report showed 188 cubic yards processed on site from June 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019. Mulch is used on County property or
given to the public or hauled away by the company grinding. 8. The material is stockpiled in a small windrow. 9. No ground material was on site during this inspection.
