ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. David Powell met David Lambert onsite to assist with touring facilities and do the inspection. Facility roads were in good condition. 2. Yard waste material didn’t have any visible unapproved waste during inspection. Good job.
3. As requested, staging area has increased signage and it seems to be helping with managing material coming in and keeping out unapproved items. Smaller sign below in picture says, “No plastic, no trash, no treated lumber, no pallets.” Signs also are assisting with staff onsite to keep track what each pile is named for record keeping of time and temp records. Time and temperature records were viewed at office.

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.

Time and temperature records. 4. There is a considerable amount less staged and mulched material onsite than last inspection. However, there is still a lot onsite. Material has backed up on the site over the past few years but is now being dealt with. This is
very good. Mr. Lambert stated he had spoken with the Sections Donna Wilson on how to sample the older material to be able to move it since may have long since lost it compost ability to meet the temperature requirements. Mr. Lambert stated a lot of it went to boiler fuel (Canal Wood in Lumberton) and Brooks Composting in Chatham County. Approximately 16,300 tons to Brooks since June of this year. Last year

approximately 14,800 tons from July 2019 to June 2020. Just remember, moving forward this material is supposed to be moving out not just coming in and staying. Once Moore County catches up with removing old material, compliance in this area will be maintained easier, it is also being mixed with soil and being used as
alternative cover on CDLF. Permit Attachment 3, Part IV. (10) - At least 75% of the material onsite must be removed from the site annually. 5. Yard waste material is grinded by Simmons and Simmons then taken to Old Castle for compositing into soil. Grinder will stay, once onsite, until all staged material has been processed. This is done about 3 or 4 times a year. Permit Attachment 3, Part IV. (5) - Grinding of unprocessed materials must be conducted when the site storage area is no more than 75% full, as described in the approved plan. 6. There is still the issue of surface water ponding around the site. Waste in water wasn’t really an issue during inspection but in between and around the staged areas. So, given potential for increased rainfall leachate can become an issue. Please continue to work on removing the older material, addressing in low spots of the staging
area and grading appropriately. Permit Attachment 3, Part IV. (12) - Surface water must be diverted from all operational and storage areas to prevent standing water in and around storage piles. Any leachate generated at the facility must be managed to prevent contamination of groundwater and surface water.
Some standing water in ruts next to road 7. Corrective measures are necessary at this site based on observations during this inspection. Mr. Lambert discussed the considerable amount of additional funding being spent onsite to address a lot of upgrades and fixes, add new staff, newer equipment and removing mulched material that has been stockpiled for numerous years onsite. Some of these issues have grown from year to year. Many improvements have recently been made and considerable progress in responding to the concerns inspection staff have mentioned in reports over the years and especially recent reports. Thank you for addressing these issues and making these improvements. This will benefit Moore County Landfill complex in many ways but also help maintain compliance. This will allow future

problems to not be so compounding, since you are not already “behind the 8 ball” so to speak. Please continue with the momentum you have created on addressing problems at this site, and your others, as they arise in the future.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report. _______________________________________ Phone: [phone] _
