ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. This inspection was performed to verify the efforts taken to establish the 100-foot buffer between the edge of
waste and the western property line.
2. The facility is located on a 35.53 acre parcel of land located north of 2509 Carson Woods Road and is owned by
Jackie W. and Mila M. Noblett.
3. It appeared that the waste area was less than 2-acres in size.
4. A gate was located at the entrance to the facility to prevent unauthorized access.
5. The facility had proper signage attached to the gate of the facility.
6. The access road leading to the landfill was of all-weather construction and well maintained.
7. 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 13B .0564(9)(b) states: “(9) The facility shall meet the following
minimum buffer requirements: (b) 100 feet from the disposal area to property lines, residential dwellings,
commercial or public buildings, and wells.”
x During the February 4, 2015 inspection, a measurement was taken by range finder from the fence line of
the property boundary located on the west side of the waste area to the edge of waste. The distance was
measured as 29.0-yards (87-feet.). Therefore, it appears that waste has been placed within the required
100-foot buffer to the western property boundary.
x During the April 30, 2015 inspection, Mr. Noblett stated that measurements were taken at three separate
locations from the fence line to the waste limits which were found to be 90-feet, 85-feet, and 90-feet.
x During a telephone conversation on May 11, 2015, Mr. Noblett stated that he would pull waste back
from the property boundary to achieve the required 100-foot buffer requirement. Mr. Noblett also stated
that he would keep the Solid Waste Section informed as work is completed to establish the 100-foot
buffer to the property line.
x Mr. Noblett notified the Solid Waste Section by telephone on June 9, 2015 that waste had been pulled
back from the western property boundary establishing the required 100-foot buffer to the property line.
x During the June 12, 2015 inspection, multiple measurements were taken by range finder from the
edge of waste to the fence line of the property boundary located on the west side of the waste area.
The measurements were found to be 38.0-yards (114-feet), 36-yards (108-feet), and 35-yards (105-
feet). Therefore, it appeared that the proper buffer had been provided along the western property
boundary. The facility appeared to meet all other required buffers. Thank you for your attention
to this matter.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
