None
OBSERVED VIOLATIONS:
A. 15A NCAC 13B .0402 (3), "Water that comes into contact with solid waste will be contained on -site or
properly treated prior to discharge from the site."
The Harnett County Dunn -Erwin Transfer Station is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0402 (3) in that leachate has
not been contained on -site. At the time of this inspection, stained soils and pavement were observed near the rear
of several transfer trailers located on -site. One trailer to the east of the transfer building was actively dripping

leachate onto the pavement during the inspection. There was another stained area behind the WTS where the
operator stated trucks are staged as well. The stained soils outside of the leachate collection system followed the
natural drainage across the dirt roadway to the drainage ditch to the north of the transfer station building.
See "Corrective Actions" below for the required measures necessary to resolve the violation.
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
1. The facility is fenced and is secured by a locking gate when it is not open for operation.
2. The correct signage is at the entrance of the facility listing the facility name, permit number and emergency contact
information as well as materials accepted at the facility.
3. The facility accepts waste Monday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 4:30 pm, with the exception of Wednesday
7:30 am until 12:00 pm.
4. Records were not reviewed during this inspection.
5. There was some damage to the tipping floor observed during this inspection. Several cracks were identified
throughout the tipping floor. Damage was also noted along the push walls (i.e. rebar protruding from the walls).
The operator stated that the floor shifts and pumps when driving over with the vehicles and equipment. The
cracks in the tipping floor and damage to the push walls need to be repaired to ensure the integrity of the
leachate collection system and that no leachate is being released into the subsurface soils beneath the transfer
station.
6. Facility staff should ensure that the facility is cleaned as required and in accordance to the approved
operations plan.
7. The leachate collection drains along the sides of the transfer station were full of waste from the transfer station.
The cover plate, grate and trap had been removed on each drain. The drains need to be cleaned out, the covers
replaced and properly maintained in free flowing condition.
8. Trucks full of waste parked outside the leachate collections center should be covered, checked for leaks and repaired
or measures taken to collect any dripping leachate. Trucks may also be parked in a manner to reduce the chance of
leaking.
9. Windblown waste was observed outside of the transfer station building at the time of this inspection and should be
collected and returned to the transfer station prior to close of business daily. This includes the trailer loading area.
10. I recommend daily inspections of the site to ensure trucks are not leaking and windblown in collected.
11. Digital photos were taken during the inspection.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. In response to the leachate releases, identify the cause of the releases and take action to stop the releasees.
Within 15 days of receipt of this report, submit a Sampling Plan for Section approval prior to sampling.
The proposed plan shall be submitted in electronic format sent via email to Amanda Thompson at
Amanda.thompson(&ncdenr.gov and Elizabeth Werner at Elizabeth.werner(&ncdenr.gov and meet the
following requirements:
a. Include a map/aerial photo depicting area of impact and proposed sampling locations;
b. Provide a description of the proposed sampling methodology; and
c. Describe proposed subsurface soil sampling and surface water sampling (if applicable) at specific
locations, including background soil and upstream water locations, to evaluate the extent of the

potential environmental impacts from the release(s) at the facility;
i. Subsurface soil samples shall be collected between one to two feet below ground surface;
ii. Discrete soil samples shall be collected. Composite samples will not be accepted; and
iii. All soil and surface water samples shall be analyzed by a NC certified laboratory for 40
CFR Part 258 Appendix I parameters (VOCs and Total metals), total phosphorus, sulfate,
nitrate and pH.
After Section approval of the sampling plan, the plan shall be implemented within seven (7) days. Within
10 business days after receiving the analytical results from the laboratory, submit documentation
regarding the sampling event which shall include the following:
a. A summary of the leachate release, actions taken to address the release, and the release assessment;
b. A map/aerial photograph depicting the sampling locations;
c. A table of the surface water analytical results compared to the NCDWR Surface Water Quality
Standards & Protective Values;
d. A table of the subsurface soil analytical results compared to the NCDEQ Preliminary Soil
Remediation Goals (PSRGs) must be met;
e. The associated laboratory reports from the NC certified laboratory including the chain of custody
and QA/QC results;
