2. Permit Attachment 1, Part I, 8 - The edge of the waste footprint for all disposal units must be identified and maintained with permanent physical markers.
At the time of this inspection, waste was observed along the edge of the road and beyond the Edge of Waste (EOW) markers. EOW markers were not being maintained so that SWS staff could determine where the EOW was located and must be repaired.
3. 15A NCAC 13B .0563 (1) (a) - The facility is to be operated for the disposal of land clearing waste, inert debris, untreated wood, and yard trash. Operations must be consistent and in compliance with the local government solid waste management plan as approved by the Division of Solid Waste Management. Unapproved waste such as painted block, a tire, plastic etc. were observed during this inspection and must be removed. Remove and dispose of properly, and keep documentation of removing these unapproved wastes. 4.

Please contact permitting if you would like to increase the size limits of the approved areas.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The sign at the entrance sign at the entrance to the facility was correct. It contained the permit number for the transfer station and the LCID. The emergency contact number is “911’, consider adding a 24/7 County contact number as well. The gate at the entrance was unlocked at the time of this inspection. 2. An attendant shall be on duty at all times while the landfill is open for public use to assure compliance with operational requirements and to prevent acceptance of unauthorized wastes. Recommend that facility staff accompany customers to the LCID or YW areas when dumping to better screen waste to ensure only acceptable waste is received. 3. Trees and shrubs must be removed from the inactive area and active area of the LCID to include slopes and drainage areas. 4. Permanent EOW markers should be reinstalled to define the limits of the waste and must be visible one to the other.
Any waste dumped beyond the EOW must be placed within the limits of the landfill upon observation. 5. Solid waste must be covered with 1-foot of suitable soil cover at least once per month or when the active area reaches 1 acre in size, whichever occurs first, or more often when necessary to prevent the site from becoming a nuisance or to mitigate conditions associated with fire, windblown materials, vectors or excessive water infiltration (PTO, General Conditions, Cover Material Requirements # 17). Any changes
to this permit condition as far as the amount of soil should be submitted to and approved by the permitting section staff.
