11) Yard waste is collected on site and staged for transport to the Coastal Environmental Partnership Compost
Facility, permit #25-09, in Craven County for composting.
12) A large volume of yard waste/vegetative debris was observed stored in the Yard Waste Management Area.
*Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection Report, plans need to be underway for
the processing of the yard waste stored on-site.
13) It appears that the floor of the storage trailer maintained in the secondary scale area has rotted out. This is
allowing waste to fall through to the ground. This waste does not appear to have been cleaned up in some
time. Also, the trailer has become immovable due to the collection of overflow waste under and around the
trailer and the poor condition of the tires and axles. *Please collect all waste and properly dispose of it in the
transfer station. Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection Report please repair or
replace this transfer trailer. Moving forward, the area around the secondary scale needs to be better policed
throughout the day for overflow and windblown debris. All overflow waste should be collected and properly
disposed at the end of each work day.
14) Overflow waste was observed collected in the eastern C&D loading bay. This area does not appear to be
being cleaned daily as required. *Please collect this material and dispose of it properly. The C&D loading
area needs to be better policed. This area should, at a minimum, be cleaned of overflow waste at the end of
each workday.

needed. It appears that leachate may have spilled on the ground around the pump station during recent pump
out. *Please ensure the leachate collection/storage system is properly cleaned and maintained at all times and
all spilled leachate is properly managed. Any soil that is contaminated by leachate should be collected and
disposed at a Facility permitted to receive such wastes.
22) Scrap tires are collected throughout the week and placed into trailers for direct haul to the Tire Management
