STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
A. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (2) states, "The facility shall only accept those solid wastes which it is permitted to
receive."
And the Facility Permit 42A-LCID, issued September 30, 2015, Attachment 3, Part I, Number 4 states, "This
facility is permitted to receive land clearing waste; yard trash; untreated and unpainted wood;

PARTIALLY RESOLVED: At the time of this inspection, the western portion of the site has been covered with
soil. The active working face, the western edge of the LCID, was smaller than one acre and mostly covered with
soil. An area of asphalt waste was identified near the working face. The asphalt waste must also be covered with
soil monthly or when the active area reaches one acre in size. Uncovered vegetative waste was observed in the
eastern unactive portion of the LCID. Per 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (7), "Provisions for a ground cover sufficient to
restrain erosion must be accomplished within 30 working days or 120 calendar days upon completion of any phase
of landfill development." The waste identified on the inactive portion of the LCID needs to be covered within 30
days of receipt of this report.
C. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (10) states, "Surface water shall be diverted from the working face and shall not be
impounded over waste."
And 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (11) states, "Solid waste shall not be disposed of in water."
UNRESOLVED: During the inspection, surface water was observed ponding against the southern edge of the
LCID. Mr. Rightmyer stated that the old roadway had been cut to allow for drainage of the standing water. The
area needs to be properly graded to promote drainage away from the LCID.
D. Facility Permit 42A-LCID, issued September 30, 2015, Attachment 3, Part 1, Number 8 states, "Excavation,
grading and fill material side slopes must not exceed a ratio of three horizontal feet to one vertical feet
(3:1)."
Some of the slopes, especially the slope leading to the front entrance, where the water was ponding, were steeper
than 3: 1. This issue was also noted in the January 29, 2019, September 5, 2018 and February 13, 2018 inspection
reports.
OBSERVED VIOLATIONS:
