Operations Inspection of the MSWLF Unit (8807-MSWLF-1990)
8. The facility recently reworked the west slope of Phase 1. During this "slope recovery" they were able to
recover nine months of airspace that was previously occupied by soil.

NCAC 13B .1626 11(c): "At the conclusion of each day of operation, all windblown material resulting
from the operation shall be collected and returned to the area by the owner or operator." Collect and
return all windblown material at the end of each working day.
10. The working face was of manageable size, compact and no banned waste was observed.
11. Several scrap tires and white goods/scrap metal had been pulled from the working face and set aside
for proper disposal.
12. An area of exposed waste was observed to the north of the slope recovery area. Facility staff were
observed applying additional cover to this area at the time of inspection.
13. To comply with 15A NCAC 13B .0208(a)(1), the facility has staged roll off containers on the east side
of the lined portion of the landfill for business waste. These containers are emptied at the end of each
working day. This use was discussed with Allen Gaither, Permit Engineer, and verbally approved
with the provision that adequate cover is maintained in the area.
14. The access roads were constructed of all-weather material and were well maintained.
Other Comments
15. The leachate tank was inspected and the secondary containment valve was closed.
16. The wood waste stockpile is located to the east of Phase 5. Two cabinet doors were observed in the
stockpile from what appeared to be a recently dumped load. Ensure that any unacceptable material
