STATUS OF PERMIT:
Active (as of August 20, 2008)
PURPOSE OF AUDIT:
Comprehensive Audit
NOTICE OF VIOLATION(S):
None
AREAS OF CONCERN AND COMMENTS:
1. Materials stored on site consist of leaves only (from curbside pickup). It was stated that the finished product
does not go to the public — the older materials have been spread on site. This activity can be considered
disposal rather than processing, and the Town of Columbus may consider allowing materials off -site for public
use in order to avoid buildup of excess cured materials.
2. Materials were kept in four small windrows, temperature records were reviewed.
The signed YWN application stated that the site is governed under 15A NCAC 13B .1402(g)(3) which states
that the facility agrees to operate with operational requirements as set forth in Rule .1406 and the setbacks in
Rule .1404 (a)(1)-(9). These setbacks require the following (in part):

Page 2 of 2
A 50-foot minimum buffer between property lines for Type 1 facilities;
A 50-foot minimum buffer is required between perennial streams/rivers; and
A site shall not cause a discharge of materials or fill materials into waters or wetlands of the state,
discharge pollutants into waters of the state, or cause non -point source pollution of the waters of the
state.
It was noted during the audit that the property boundaries were undefined and that a creek was located on the
northern edge of the property. It was recommended that the specific YWN site be marked to avoid violating
buffer requirements.
4. Please continue to maintain a clean waste stream (no plastic, trash or other unacceptable materials) and to
maintain your set -backs to both the property boundary and the creek.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this audit report.
