Re: Landfill Closure
Notified Land Clearing Inert Debris (LCID) Landfill Caswell County, North Carolina
Notification No. N0151
Dear Mr. Doggett:
The Solid Waste Section (Section) conducted a site inspection on February 20, 2020 of the reference landfill confirming that it had ceased operations. On March 16, 2021, the Section received a cap survey by Homer
Wade, P.E., with Borem Wade and Associates, PA, certifying that a minimum of one foot of suitable soil cover has
been placed over the entire landfill utilizing 4 random test holes per acre. As such, the referenced landfill has met the requirements of 15A NCAC 13B .0567(b) and is deemed closed in accordance with the laws and rules
governing the management of LCID landfills.
When a disposal site/facility has been closed any future disposal operations on the property will require a new
permit under the rules in place at the time of application. Any activities not associated with the maintenance or
monitoring of the closed landfill may be viewed as operation of the facility, therefore violating North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules.
It is recommended that the cap survey be recorded in the Caswell County Register of Deeds and that owner of
the property containing the closed landfill abide by the post closure requirements set forth in 15A NCAC
13B .0567(c). A copy of this rule is attached to the end of this letter for your convenience.
If you have any questions, please contact me at [e-mail] or [phone].
Sincerely,
Chuck Kirchner
Environmental Senior Specialist
