3. 15A NCAC 13B .1404 (c)(1) "a site shall not allow unauthorized public access." It is recommended that a
locking gate be installed to prevent unauthorized access to the site.
4. 15A NCAC 13B .1406 (9)(a) "Signs providing information on wastes that may be received, dumping

as a soil amendment to agricultural fields owned by Spain Farms. Each quarter, the site is cleared of material. In
