Solid Waste Section
The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance
with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an
administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit,
or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Proper signage was observed at the entrance to the facility.
2. All access roads were in good operational condition.
3. No off -site odor was observed.
4. The pole shed had active compost located in the front section of the shed and was consistently covered with 4" to 6"
thick layer of finished compost and carbonaceous material reducing the attraction of vectors and the rear of the shed
housed the finished compost. No exposed composting food waste was visible. Mrs. Gallins started due to the wet
weather the finished compost had not been moved to the field to make windrows. Weather permitting finished
compost would be moved the windrowed in the field within the next week.
5. Located on the right side of the pole shed active compost was observed off the concrete pad. This area was pointed
out to Mrs. Gallins and she said she would have Mr. Gallins push it up to the pile under the shed. It was reiterated
to Mrs. Gallins all active compost has to be within the boundary of the concrete pad to prevent any leachate runoff
not being captured in the leachate holding tank.
(LEFT) Food waste exceeding the boundaries of the concrete pad. Photo taken by K. Sue 8/27/2020. (RIGHT) Waste
returned to the concrete pad at the end of the working day. Photo provided by L. Gallins 8/27/2020.
6. Observed three windrows in the field. Three windrows had met PFRP and were curing in the field. The third
windrow had a lot of trash in it that Mrs. Gallins said will be hand picked out before it is screened.
