that it was required to renew the notification within 30 days or remove. all processed and unprocessed material from
the property by June 1, 2009.
3. Attempts were made by Section staff to contact Innovative Recycling personnel to determine the status of the site,
however all phones listed for the company had been disconnected. And on April 6, 2009, a voicemail message was
left at Mr. Bilbro's residence regarding the status of the company but was not returned.
4. A site visit was conducted on June 8, 2009. The facility was closed (entrance gate closed, secured with a lock). On
June 16, 2009, Mr. Patrone contacted Vulcan Materials, Inc. — Land Manager, Mickey Love (336-744-2021) to
inquire about accessing the site in order to verify if Innovative Recycling Services, Inc. had removed the material.
