FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT
Division of Waste Management
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
enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any
such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
l . The site includes an MSW transfer station and a small convenience center. The transfer station accepts waste
only from City of Reidsville trucks that collect from within the city limits. The convenience center is open to
the public and accepts C&D waste, monitors and televisions, used cooking oil, used motor oil, and used oil
filters from city residents. Residential trash is collected curbside by the city; residents are not permitted to use
the transfer station.
2. Waste received at the transfer station is compacted into transport trailers and taken to the Rockingham County
Landfill (permit # 7904) for proper disposal.
Records Review:
3. The new life of site Permit to Operate and current Operational Plan (approved 8/17/2020) are maintained at the
solid waste division office and at the transfer station office. These records are available for review upon request.
4. Training records indicated the following staff members are currently certified by NC SWANA as Transfer
Station Operations Specialists:
• Rodney Lovelace —expires 11/3/2022;
• Ricky French — expires 10/9/2020;
• Dale Chambers —expires 11/14/2022.
5. A review of the 2019-20 facility annual report indicated that the transfer station received a total of 7,159.05 tons
of waste from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. This equates to an average of approximately 600 tons of
waste received monthly at the facility.
6. Waste screening records for the current month are maintained at the transfer station. Additional waste screening
records are stored in the solid waste division office. Random waste screenings take place once a week, and the
log includes information about waste types and any unacceptable waste found as well as the disposition of that
waste.
Facility Inspection:
7. The entire site is surrounded by a chain link fence and secured with two locking gates to prevent unauthorized
access. The hopper itself is not housed within an enclosed structure. However, it is surrounded by a chain link
fence with a locking gate so that unloading can be prevented if the operator is away from his station.
8. Proper signage was observed on the entry gate, and the convenience center includes informational signage to
assist residents in locating the specific area or container for their disposal needs.
9. The site was observed to be very clean, neat, and well -maintained. Windblown litter was well -managed.
10. The entire convenience area and the access roadway to the transfer facility are paved and were found to be in
good condition.
11. Trucks carrying incoming loads back directly up to the hopper and unload slowly as directed by the facility
operator. The operator observes the contents of each truck as it is unloaded. Once the entire load has been
dumped and no unacceptable waste found, the operator then opens the hopper door and engages the compactor.
The hopper is fitted with nozzles that spray clean water while unloading takes place. This procedure prevents
dust and windblown litter, and also helps to minimize odor.
12. The hopper and the fenced area that surrounds it were observed to be clean and well -maintained.
13. The compactor area was also clean, with only a few stray pieces of litter evident under the trailer. A trash
receptacle was positioned beside the compactor rails so that facility staff could remove accumulated litter from
the loading area throughout the day as needed.
14. A trench drain is located in the compacting/loading area, and the concrete paving is sloped to direct leachate,
washdown water from the convenience center, and water from the hopper spray nozzles to this drain. From

there, the leachate is piped into a settling pit and then to an oil separator before flowing into the public sewer
line. The drain was functioning properly at the time of the inspection, with only a few small pieces of debris that
had been caught by the drain grate. City staff pump out solids and debris from the settling pit and the oil
separator as needed.
15. Mr. French stated that the drain is inspected and cleaned throughout the day, and that the loading area is swept
clean and usually hosed down before close of operations each day.
16. A transfer trailer was parked in the loading area and receiving waste from the compactor during the inspection.
The trailer was inspected and found to be in good condition, with no obvious cracks or holes, and no liquid was
observed leaking from the trailer.
17. The design of the convenience area provides adequate space for transfer trucks and residential vehicles to
maneuver safely. Truck traffic heading for the transfer station is routed to the hopper along a separate access
road.
18. Computer monitors and televisions are collected and stacked in a covered area on the northern end of the
convenience center. A roll -off container is staged in the convenience area for the disposal of residential C&D
waste. Full loads of C&D waste and televisions/monitors are transported by city staff to the Rockingham
County Landfill for disposal or recycling.
19. Containers for the collection of used oil, oil filters and used cooking oil are staged in the convenience area for
public use. The city contracts with Noble Oil to recycle the used motor oil and oil filters; and, with Greenlight
Biofuels to recycle the used cooking oil. The containers for these materials were clean and intact; no leaks were
observed, and the surrounding area was clean with no oil residue on the pavement.
A view of the transfer station from the convenience area. The entire facility is clean and well -maintained.
