STATUS OF PAST NOTED AND OBSERVED VIOLATIONS
15A NCACI3B .1626 (8)(b), "Surface water shall not be impounded over or in waste."
PARTIALLY RESOLVED: The County has cut the side slope berms of 6401-MSWLF-1983 in several places to help
alleviate the previously identified areas of standing water over waste. The Section was able to observe the cut areas of the
berms; however, due to the heavy rain occurring during this inspection, the Section was not able determine if the standing
water had been drained. Mr. Barnes stated that additional gravel would be added to the cuts to help control erosion. The cut
areas will need to be monitored and repaired as needed to prevent erosion and standing water. Any additional areas of
standing water will need to be filled and/or properly graded to shed water. A follow-up inspection will be conducted to
determine if the areas of standing water over waste have been alleviated.

15A NCAC 13B .1629 (c)(3), "Post -closure use of the property shall not disturb the integrity of the cap system, base
liner system, or any other components of the containment system, or the function of the monitoring systems unless
necessary comply with the requirements in this Section."
RESLOVED: The vegetation and woody vegetation previously identified on 6401-MSWLF-1983 and 6403-CDLF-2000
(Phases 1 through 3) had been mowed and removed. The County needs to continue to mow the landfill as often as necessary
to prevent the overgrowth of vegetation and to allow for the proper inspection of these areas by Landfill and Section staff.

§130A 309.05 (c)(1), "Seventy-five percent (75%), by weight or volume, of the recovered material stored at a facility
at the beginning of the calendar year commencing January 1, shall be removed from the facility through sale, use,
or reuse by December 31 of the same year."
And §130A 309.05 (c)(4), "The recovered material shall not contain significant concentrations of foreign constituents
that render it unserviceable or inadequate for sale, or its intended use or reuse."
UNRESOLVED: Burned yard waste from the old yard waste area had been piled, compacted, and buried across the
service road from 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phase 4). The Section approved a plan and extension of the deadline for compliance
for July 31, 2019 for "the materials in this stockpile that are substantially free of stumps and/or identifiable wood waste to
be used in the planned stabilization of the inactive portions of the 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phases 1 through 3). All stumps and
land clearing materials larger than can be used for this application, must be treated as yard waste in accordance with Nash
County Landfill's Operation Plan, which states that yard waste will be ground, and Nash County Landfill's Permit to Operate
which states, `at least 75% by weight of recyclable and recovery material must be removed from the site within one year."'
During the July 9, 2020 inspection, some of the material from this area had been removed and used on 6403-CDLF-2000
(Phases 1 through 3) to help establish vegetative growth. However, most of the burned yard waste material remained in
place and was seeded by the contractor. This area is not approved for disposal. Additionally, during the removal of the
material, it was discovered that the burned yard waste was heavily contaminated with non -vegetative waste such as plastics,
metals, etc., and wood waste that was not suitable for application on 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phases 1 through 3). All of the non -
vegetative and non -suitable wood wastes need to be removed and disposed of properly. Do not place this material in the
LCID landfill without first screening out the unacceptable waste. During the September 24, 2020 and December 16, 2020
inspections, no additional progress was identified within the burned yard waste area. A plan is in place to excavate the waste
in sections and screen the waste so that the soil may be used as an amendment to 6401-MSWLF-1983 and 6403-CDLF-
2000 (Phases 1 through 3). The estimated completion date for the removal of the waste is January 30, 2021. The Section
will return in February 2021 to assess the progress made in the removal of the burned yard waste.
Progress had been made in the removal of non -vegetative waste that was discovered in the burned yard waste that had been
applied to 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phases 1 through 3). A majority of the larger pieces of debris have been removed. Mr. Barnes
stated that additional workers will continue to remove the non -vegetative waste from the 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phases 1
through 3).
15A NCAC 13B .0542 (k)(1 and 2), "Adequate sediment control measures consisting of vegetative cover, materials,
structures or devices must be utilized to prevent sediment from leaving the C&DLF facility... (and) prevent excessive
on -site erosion of the C&DLF facility or unit."
PARTIALLY RESOLVED: During the December 16, 2020 inspection, the sediment basin, located to the north of 6403-
CDLF-2000 (Phase 4), was still in need of being cleaned out. Even with the heavy rain occurring at the time of this
inspection, the sediment basin appeared to have been mainly filled with sediment. According to conversations with Mr.
Barnes and Mr. Nichting, the sediment basin is scheduled to be cleaned out in the Spring of 2021.
Riprap had been placed within the northern and eastern drainage ditches of 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phase 4). The side slopes of
the 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phase 4) had been seeded and covered in straw. Grasses were beginning to grow to help stabilize the
side slopes. Continue to monitor the side slopes and repair or reseed as needed to maintain stabilization.

July 13, 2020 Permit to Operate, Attachment 3, Part IV (54), "Wastes and recyclables must be maintained in
reasonably sized piles with adequate fire breaks and lanes in accordance with approved operational plans and the
pertinent rules."
And §130A 309.05 (c)(1), "Seventy-five percent (75%), by weight or volume, of the recovered material stored at a
facility at the beginning of the calendar year commencing January 1, shall be removed from the facility through sale,
use, or reuse by December 31 of the same year."
RESOLVED: The metal recycling pile was observed to have been reduced by 75% since the September 24, 2020 inspection.
The County is in the process of obtaining some jersey barriers, to encourage the placement of the white goods and metal
recycling on the concrete pad.

July 13, 2020 Permit to Operate, Attachment 3, Part IV (55), "Surface water shall be diverted from all operational
and storage areas to prevent standing water in operational areas and under or around storage piles."
Mr. Barnes stated that the area had been graded, but the rains had washed sediment onto the concrete pad. Due to the heavy
rain occurring during this inspection, the Section was unable to confirm if the area had been properly graded to promote
drainage away from the metal recycling area.
15A NCAC 13B .0542 (e) (14), "The following wastes must not be disposed of in C&D LF unit ... Yard trash as defined
in G.S. 130A-290 (a)(45)."
And July 13, 2020 Permit to Operate, Attachment 3, Part II (15), "Wastes listed in 15A NCAC 13B .0542 (e) must
not be accepted for disposal including, but not limited to, hazardous waste, municipal solid waste, liquid waste,
commercial and industrial wastes, and yard trash."
RESOLVED: During the September 24, 2020, a load of yard trash, including lawn clippings, pinecones and leaves was
dumped onto the working face of 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phase 4). Mr. Barnes stated that any loads identified as yard trash are
directed to N1096, a notified LCID owned by Mr. Al Collie. Mr. Barnes also stated that a recent load was identified to be
comingled C&D waste and yard trash. The operator separated the yard trash from the C&D and the yard trash was taken to
N1096. Construction of the new LCIDLF is expected to begin the week of January 4, 2021. Once the LCIDLF has been
constructed, future yard trash loads will be directed to the new LCIDLF.
15A NCAC 13B .1627 (d)(1), "Following closure of each MSWLF unit, the owner or operator shall conduct post -
closure care... (which) consists of at least the following: (A) Maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of any cap
system, including making repairs to the cover as necessary to correct the effects of settlement, subsidence, erosion or
other events and preventing run-on and run-off from eroding or otherwise damaging the cap."
UNRESOLVED: During the September 24, 2020 inspection, several areas of erosion rills were identified along the eastern
slope of 640 1 -MSWLF- 1983. The erosion rills need to be repaired, mulched, and seeded to reestablish proper vegetative
cover. Due to the heavy rains occurring during this inspection, the Section was unable to inspect the areas of erosion on
6401-MSWLF-1983. A follow-up inspection will be conducted to determine if the erosion rills have been repaired.
OBSERVED VIOLATIONS
None.
