Dear Ballentine:
On April 9, 2021, Charles Gerstell, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste
Management Solid Waste Section (Section), inspected the above referenced facility for compliance
with North Carolina solid waste statutes and rules. The City of Hickory was found in violation of 15A
North Carolina Administrative Code 13B .0201(c) for operating a solid waste management facility
without a currently valid permit. As a result of the violation, a Notice of Violation was issued to the City
of Hickory April 14, 2021.
To achieve compliance, the City of Hickory was required to submit a complete permit renewal
application to include an updated site plan and operational plan to the Solid Waste Section for review
within 30-days of receipt of the Notice of Violation. You submitted the requested information to Jordan
Russ, Engineering Project Manager, by e-mail on April 20, 2021.
This letter serves to confirm that the requirements of the Notice of Violation have been satisfied and
the violation has been corrected. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Should you have any
questions, please to not hesitate to contact me at (704) 235-2144 or charles.gerstell@ncdenr.gov.
