ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. DEMLR’s Melissa Joyner and David Powell, with the Section, inspected the new LCID for Pre Operating conditions. Currently site has 4 Edge of Waste (EOW) markers, and erosion fence installed. Only 2 acres are
prepared for operation out of the 5 acres. If this facility wishes to operate in phases or cells, it should be in the approved plans/application. Otherwise facility should be operated as designed. This should be done before Pre Operational Inspection.

2. Facility is in two parts. Refer to picture above in #1. On left is the approximately 3 acres of higher elevation and the right area, lower elevation, is surrounded by erosion control fence and is the 2-acre area that the owners
have prepared for disposal. An all-weather road goes through center of this site and is to the left of this view in the picture, running away from camera. Owners indicate the idea is to allow trucks to back up to the edge of this road, along the lower elevation 2-acre area, and dump over side, then compact and cover then slope. Waste should be compacted as densely as possible and covered with soil. Building the waste and cover correctly should reduce the potential for fires and sinkholes in future. Dumping off the “Cliff” of the high elevation soil
into the lower, may not be the best procedure for dumpers. 3. Updated AS BUILT Map/Drawing were provided to the Section, and now shows the road for this facility. Good job.
4. Section staff didn’t notice if sign was updated yet but if not should be compliant with permit, which refers to the rule. Signage requirements are 15A NCAC 13B .0566. (14) - A sign shall be posted at the site entrance
showing the site contact's name and phone number, the permit number, emergency contact information, and the waste types accepted for disposal at the site. This should be done before final Pre Operational Inspection.

5. Operator has received DEMLR bond, so permit should be close to follow once 401 Sand follows Ms. Joyner instructions and fill out request for Certificate of Coverage she sent via email after inspection.

6. Ms. Joyner discussed unused areas needed vegetative cover along with silt fence. Lower elevation 2-acre area has silt fence but it was recommended that a second silt fence be installed in low areas. They should also be installed according to approved SECP/rules. If adjustments need to be made, then update the plan/documentation. This
should be done before Pre Operational Inspection. 7. Outfalls were having some issues and eroding on inside of silt fence. Erosion control measures, structures or devices shall be utilized to prevent silt from leaving the site and prevent on-site erosion, and shall comply with 15A NCAC 04 (15A NCAC 13B .0566 (5)). Discussions with Mr. Parker and Ms. Joyner, determined the northern outfalls needed repair. Also, an outlet should be added to the silt fence around the center on the east fence. This should be done before Pre Operational Inspection.

Northern silt fence eroding on inside. 8. Ensure that during all development, operation and closure activities, side slopes do not exceed 3:1
NCAC 13B .0566. (2) Solid waste in the landfill shall be compacted. Slopes shall not exceed a ratio
of three horizontal to one vertical at any time. 9. The lower elevation area of 2 acres has been graded and sloped well to shed storm water to the erosion control structures. Be sure to maintain this once facility is in operation.
10. Operator should repair and develop all aspects of the facility according to approved plans, have approved mining permit in hand, and made any adjustments to these documents that are needed before requesting a Pre Operation Inspection from the Section. Facility cannot accept waste until these steps have been completed and a Pre Operation Inspection is completed by Section staff confirming. Communicate with Section staff, when ready, for a final check or Pre Operational Inspection.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
