STATUS OF PERMIT:
Inactive closed site. The Permit for Closure, issued April 8, 2015, allows for the collection of yard waste, scrap tires and
white goods. The Permit for Closure states that the operations plan should be review every five years from the issuance
of the Permit for Closure.
PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT:
Partial compliance inspection
STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
1. 15A NCAC 13B .0505 (5)(b), "Surface water shall not be impounded over or in waste."
UNRESOLVED: Several areas of standing water were observed on either side of the access road during the
March 19, 2019 inspection. During the February 18, 2021 inspection, standing water was observed in settled
areas on the top of the landfill cap. The area has been receiving a large amount of rain recently; therefore, a
follow-up inspection will be completed during a drier period to assess the standing water. The depressions holding
water at the top of the landfill need to be filled and graded to promote drainage.
2. 15A NCAC 13B .0505 (4)(b), "Adequate erosion control measures shall be practiced to prevent excessive
on -site erosion."
RESOLVED: No areas of erosion were observed on the slopes of the closed MSWLF at the time of this
inspection.
