RE: Notice of Violation
Dear Mr. Carpentar:
William L. Meyer
Director
Pursuant to NCGS 130A-22(a) and to 15A NCAC 13B, I conducted an
inspection on December 28, 1990, of the Graham County Sanitary Landfill,
Permit No. 38-01, located in Graham County on State Road 1112 near
Robbinsville, North Carolina. The inspection found the Graham County Sanitary
Landfill to be in violation of certain requirements contained in the North
Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules, codified at 15A NCAC 13B specifically:
1. 15A NCAC 13B(2)(b) requires that solid waste be compacted
as densely as practical into cells. The Graham County
Landfill was operating in violation of 15A NCAC 13B(2)(b)
in that solid waste was not being compacted as densely as
practical into cells.
2. 15A NCAC 13B(4)(a) requires that adequate erosion control
measures shall be practiced to prevent silt from leaving
the site. The Graham County Landfill was operating in
violation of 15A NCAC 13B(4)(a) in that adequate erosion
control measures are not being practiced to prevent silt
from leaving the site. This is the second Notice of
Violation for failure to comply with this requirement.
Since the operator began excavating the sediment basin in
an unapproved area, this change in location will have to
be approved by the Land Quality Section of the North
Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural
Resources. Please obtain this approval as soon as
possible.and complete the sediment basin as per approval.
3. 15A NCAC 13B(8)(c) requires that the access road to the
shall be of all-weather construction and maintained
in good condition. The Graham County Landfill was
operating in violation of 15A NCAC 13B(8)(c) in that the

Subject: One Time Disposal of Approximately 150 Tons of
Sandblast/Paint Residue at the Graham County Landfill,
(Permit #38-01).
Dear Mr. Schmierbach:
The Solid Waste Management Division has received a request for
characterization of the subject waste. Based upon the submitted
information, the waste appears to be non -hazardous. The Solid Waste
Management Division has no objection to the sanitary landfill
disposal of this waste, if in accordance with the conditions listed
below: `
1. The owner/operator of the landfill approves the disposal.
2. The waste contains no free liquids and can be confined,
compacted, and covered in accordance with the Solid Waste
Management Rules (15A NCAC 13B).
3. The waste shall be transported and disposed in a manner
which prevents a physical hazard from dust.
4. Approval for sanitary landfill disposal is explicitly
limited to a "one-time" basis. Further approval by this
office will require submittal of a new Waste Determination
form, and (if applicable), new analytical data.
Failure to meet these conditions may result in revocation of
this approval, and subsequently, an administrative penalty. If you
have further questions or comments concerning this matter, please
contact this office at [phone].

This procedure wi11 be used by the Solid Waste .Management Division to dine
whether a waste is (1) hazardous as defined by 15A NCAC 13B, and (2) suitable for
dial at a solid waste management facility. The types of wastes that will be
evaluated by this procedure are primarily, but not exclusively, i y1ust-rial and
commercial wastes and sludges, and Publicly Owned Treatment Works Sludges.
The Solid Waste Management Division reserves the right to request additional
information or waive some of the requirements based on the type of waste if it deems
r1ecessary. Mle Division may also require some wastes to be treated or altered to render
the wastes environmentally immobile prior to disposal at a sanitary landfill. Wastes
disposed at sanitary landfills rust be non -liquid which can be properly managed in

Dear Mr. Fosque:
County Manager
Leonard Lloyd
County Attorney
Kelly Shuler
County Clerk
I am writing you upon the advice to Jim Patterson, who is our EPA contact
here in Graham County.
lie are currently in the process of installing our scales for the weighing
of the materials that are put in our Landfill. lie have leased a large portion
of the old Bemis Lumber yard. This includes several large covered areas,
several large sheds, loading docks and a small office facility. It will be
a perfect place for our recycling program. Since we have the space available,
we are also planning to set up large green boxes or a truck to receive those
materials which are appropriate for a demolition landfill. They will then
be weighed and taken as a full truckload to that area of our Landfill.
In the process of working out all the arrangements necessary for change over
to a weighing station and a recyclables collection area we have detemined
that the most appropriate place to put our scales is adjacent to the loading
dock at Bemis. There is a wide drive through road with two entrances/exits.
lie can weigh all our recyclable materials there also. The Landfill is
approximately 3k2 miles from Bemis. The major garbage truck routes all pass
by Bemis on their way to the Landfill. The few trucks coming from the other
side are only lk miles out of the way from a direct route to the Landfill.
Our Landfill manager who is also in charge of the truck collection feels
that this is the best place for the scales. Secondly, there is truly not a
suitable site at the Landfill to put the scales with easy ingress and egress.
Since we will be beginning the scale installation very soon, I would appreciate
immediate consideration of this matter. I would welcome your visit here to
show you all that I have described.

RE: Notice of Violation
Graham Co. Sanitary Landfill
Permit No. 38-01
Dear Mr. Turner:
Ann B. OtT
Regional Manager
The 1989 General Assembly passed Senate Bill III "An Act to Improve
Management of Solid Waste." On July 9, 1991, the General Assembly ratified
House Bill 1109 "An Act to Improve Management of Nonhazardous Solid Waste, to
Redefine the State Solid Waste Management Goals, and to make Clarifying,
Conforming, and Technical Amendments to the Solid Waste Management Laws."
General Statute 130A-309.09A(f) now states that after July 1, 1991, each
operator of a municipal solid waste management facility shall weigh all solid
waste when it is received. The exclusion of facilities which will not be in
operation after the effective date of this section of the Solid Waste
Management Act was deleted.
. It is the position of the Section that the weighing of waste at all
landfills which will receive waste after July 1, 1991, is especially important
due to the July 1, 1991 - June 30, 1992, baseline period for document waste
reduction activities as provided in the North Carolina Statutes.
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22(a) and to 15A North Carolina Administrative
Code 13B, I conducted an inspection on October 1, 1991, of the Graham County
Sanitary Landfill, Permit No. 38-01, located on State Road 1112 near
Robbinsville, North Carolina. The inspection found that solid waste is not
being weighed when it is received.
