AREAS OF CONCERN AND COMMENTS:
1. Directions to site: Exit I-26 to Upward Road (exit 53) west. Turn left on Commercial Blvd then right on
Garrison Lane (access gated). Follow Garrison Lane to end/operational area.
2. Site appeared to meet buffer requirements. Note that materials should be maintained at a distance of 50-feet to
all property lines. Additionally, grinding operations require a 200-foot buffer from all residential dwellings
and commercial or public buildings. No surface waters noted in the vicinity of the mulching operation.

3. No unacceptable waste was noted in the mulch piles on site. All material was ground at the time of the
inspection. No standing water was noted on site. Access between mulch piles was maintained. It is
recommended that 25-foot spacing occur between windrows in order for fire suppression.
02/03/11 Finished product storage area.
4. Please ensure that the facility accepts less than 6000 yds3 of material (raw or processed) per 3-month period.
5. Please continue to maintain operational requirements as outlined in your Notification form. Note that this
facility is for the treatment & processing of land clearing debris (mulching operations) and not for the disposal
of such materials.
6. Discussion regarding the site approval for a Temporary Disaster Debris Staging Site (TDDSS) occurred with
Mr. Scott Garrison during the inspection and with Mr. Bill Garrison (phone conversation 5/24/11). As stated,
the approval of the facility as a TDDSS site would allow for material funded through FEMA/State Emergency
projects to be managed/stored and processed at the facility. Attached is a sample of a TDDSS Site Selection
Evaluation Sheet which would be submitted for the facility if you choose to go forward with the approval
process. Also attached is a GIS map indicating the multiple parcels listed as Garrison parcels — please review
and contact our office (A. Keller) to clarify which parcel the grinding and potential TDDSS operations
occur on.

at this location.
