Dear Mr. Mills:

The Solid Waste Section has received the Land Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID) landfill notification
for the above referenced facility that was recorded on November 20, 2020. Please be aware that
the notification process does not satisfy the conditions for an individual LCID permit greater than
two acres in size. In accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0563(1), facilities larger than two acres must
comply with more stringent requirements for an individual permit. Please be aware that the land
owner and facility operator will be subject to enforcement action if the facility is in violation of any of
the requirements in North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules 15A NCAC 13B
Sections .0563, .0564, and .0566.

1) When the property is sold, leased, conveyed or transferred, the deed or other instrument of
transfer shall contain in the description section a statement that clearly states the property was
used as a Land Clearing and Inert Debris landfill and shall reference the above noted deed book
and page for the Notification form. The statement shall be in type that is no smaller than the
size used in the body of the deed or instrument.

2) Amendments or revisions to the Solid Waste Management Rules or the violation of groundwater
standards may necessitate modification of the construction, operation, or closure of this facility.

3) This notification is not transferable. Any changes in ownership require that a new notification
be submitted.

RE: Atwell Farms LCID Landfill; N1102
Dear Jessica Montie:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates
that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary, or within a one-mile radius of
the project boundary.
Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within or
near the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been
surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat
exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so
that we may update our records.
Please also note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may also not be redistributed without
permission.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

I talked to Jonny with Iredell County Erosion Control about needing a letter from them stating Mr. Atwell is disturbing 
less than 1 ac.  See his response below and the attached survey of the area for disturbance.  Let me know what you think 
and if Jason will still require a letter.

Good Morning Kim 
I’ve attached a copy of the survey for the disturbed area with the LCID that was approved for a Special Use Permit by our 
Board of Adjustments. I called Mr. Atwell yesterday just to reiterate that his total land disturbance has to stay within the 
approved .99 acres to not require an erosion control permit which he confirmed he was not disturbing any land outside 
of that 0.99 acres and once the gulley was full of the inert debris he’d level it off with dirt in the area of the clearing for 
the LCID, not from offsite.  
Also you said you need an official letter from me stating he will not need an erosion control permit and not email? 
Reason I ask is that we typically don’t type up official letters stating when people don’t require permits. It’s typically they 
are permitted or they are in violation for not having a permit if one is required.  
Thanks
