FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 5 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: 1. Andrew Hammonds and David Powell met with David Lambert to conduct a comprehensive inspection, while providing technical assistance on new permitted HHW site. This view is SW with the open drop off containers over the edge to the right, office behind the truck to the right and the storage container and the 20 ft. x 20 ft. outdoor storage area to the left. Facility is gated on entrance and exit. 2. Currently there are four trained staff working at the site on different days. Eco Flo provides staff training. 3. David Lambert stated that the local Fire Dept. Eagle Springs has been notified of site operation, and what waste is collected here. It was suggested that additional “No Smoking” signs be added where there is a direct hazard of ignitable sources. 4. Below is the current storage unit not shown in operations page of application. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 3 of 5 5. Inside the storage unit were containers for collecting and separating Pesticide solids and liquids, aerosols and acid cleaners. The unit also stored spill kits, full containers of waste stored and waiting for removal, packaging, cleaning materials, spill absorber and fluorescent light bulbs. Spent acid cleaners are not approved to be accepted at this facility. Cease accepting this waste and address with permitting. Permit Attachment 3 Part V, 3. (f) - Unacceptable and prohibited wastes that shall not be collected at the HHW facility per approved plan (FID 1389979) include the following: (f) - Batteries (lead acid, alkaline, NiCad, lithium, etc.), cylinders (propane, helium, oxygen, fire extinguishers, aerosols, etc.), devices containing mercury (thermometers, light bulbs except fluorescent bulbs), spent acidic or alkaline cleaners, non-hazardous solid and liquid waste (putty, caulk, tec.), oils, oil filters, fertilizers, and unknown wastes. It is stated on page 31 of the 7/15/2019 application, operations plan section, “Additionally, the HHW materials are stored under roof and the structure is locked when not in use.” It is also stated, on page 34 in the 7/15/2019 application, that the “Collection Center consists of a single storage building (see Figure 2) with an attached paved receiving apron…”. This figure is in fact the office at the site and the HHW storage unit is across the drive from this point on figure 2. 6. At the time of this inspection, wastes were being stored inside of an enclosed fenced area. This area, not covered under the permit, is approximately 20ft x 20ft with an 8-foot-high fence and is being used mostly to store palletized paint. Latex paint is put onto pallets. Leaking or damaged containers are put into waterproof “Gaylord” boxes inside the fence. The area was very neat, clean and orderly. It was recommended that the County submit changes to the site drawings and operations plan to permitting for approval. It was also recommended to install a “cover” to protect from the rain, elements and runoff potentially causing an issue until the operations that are needed have been submitted for review and approval by permitting and documented. Additional secondary containment will be necessary if this area is approved for additional storage. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 4 of 5 7. Accumulation start date is needed on ALL containers. Waste cannot be kept onsite over one year from date accepted. Most containers had a date but they are needed on ALL. 8. All containers should be kept closed unless staff are adding to or removing waste from them. 9. Operations Plan, Emergency Action Plan and Contingency Plan need updating and resubmitting to the Permitting. If changes have been corrected and approved, update site documents. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 5 of 5 10. Moore County Solid Waste needs to communicate with the Sections permitting staff Ming Chao at 919-707-8251 and/or Sherri Stanley at 919-707-8235, copied on this inspection. The spent acid cleaners are not approved to be accepted at this facility. Stop accepting until approved. Currently the operations plan and permit do not account for the outdoor storage area and the manner in which the material is stored onsite. All materials onsite must be dated, per the permit, so that they are not onsite beyond what’s approved. A more frequent pickup could be done to ensure waste doesn’t stay onsite too long. Emergency Action and Contingency Plan need updating and resubmitting to Permitting staff. 11. Corrective measures are necessary at this site based on observations during this inspection. Corrective measures should be completed within 30 days’ receipt of this report. Some issues need to be addressed through permitting and may take longer than 30 days. However, the Permittee should communicate within the 30 days with permitting staff and make a good effort at addressing the issues and be diligent in responding to any requests from the Section for additional information. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report. ________________________________________ Phone: 910 433 - 3350 _ David Powell Environmental Senior Specialist Regional Representative Sent on: 8/19/2020 X Email Hand delivery US Mail Certified No. [ _] Copies: Andrew Hammonds, Eastern/Western District Supervisor - Solid Waste Section Ming Chao, Permitting Engineer - Solid Waste Section Sherri Stanley, Permitting Supervisor - Solid Waste Section
