ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The City of Durham Transfer Station is located at 2115 E. Club Boulevard. The property also contains the Durham
Compost Facility, permit 3204, the closed City of Durham MSW Landfill, permit 3201, and the City of Durham

This facility is permitted to receive municipal solid waste generated within areas consistent with the service area of
the receiving landfill. Waste must be transported for disposal to an appropriately permitted sanitary landfill. The
facility is also permitted to receive white goods and scrap tires. The following, at a minimum, must not be accepted
for disposal at the facility; hazardous waste, liquid wastes, regulated medical waste, sharps not properly packaged,
regulated -asbestos containing material.
The following observations were made during the January 12, 2021 inspection:
1. Waste must be stored in transfer trailers constructed, operated, and maintained to be leak resistant. During the
inspection, a transfer trailer full of waste pulled out from the loading bay and was leaking leachate from the
back of the trailer (Figure 1). Once Davy Conners pointed this out, facility staff responded by taking the trailer
onto the tipping floor to capture the leachate while they removed waste from the back door of the trailer that
was causing the leak. Make sure to inspect trailer prior to and after loading for leachate leaks.
Figure 1: Transfer trailer leaking leachate.
2. The tipping floor and transfer trailer loading area were maintained in a clean and sanitary condition (Figure 2).
Windblown waste was minimal and picked up daily.

3. Random waste screening inspections records were electronically reviewed prior to the inspection from
December 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
4. The facility is permitted to receive white goods. White goods collection areas shall provide for the proper
removal of chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants. Ms. Williman stated that she was unsure if the equipment to remove
freon was working properly or if the gauge was just not working. Make repairs to or replace the CFC
removal equipment so that the collection facility can remove CFC refrigerants in accordance with the
permit and rules.
