STATUS OF PAST NOTED AND OBSERVED VIOLATIONS
15A NCACI3B .1626 (8)(b), "Surface water shall not be impounded over or in waste."
PARTIALLY RESOLVED: The County has cut the side slope berms of 6401-MSWLF-1983 in several places to help
alleviate the previously identified areas of standing water over waste. The Section was able to observe the cut areas of the
berms from a distance. Additional gravel or riprap will need to be added to the cuts, as needed, in order to help control
erosion. The cut areas will need to be monitored and repaired as needed to prevent erosion and standing water. Any
additional areas of standing water will need to be filled and/or properly graded to shed water. A follow-up inspection will
be conducted to determine if the areas of standing water over waste have been alleviated.
§130A 309.05 (c)(1), "Seventy-five percent (75%), by weight or volume, of the recovered material stored at a facility
at the beginning of the calendar year commencing January 1, shall be removed from the facility through sale, use,
or reuse by December 31 of the same year."
And §130A 309.05 (c)(4), "The recovered material shall not contain significant concentrations of foreign constituents
that render it unserviceable or inadequate for sale, or its intended use or reuse."
PARTIALLY RESOLVED: Burned yard waste from the old yard waste area had been piled, compacted, and buried
across the service road from 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phase 4). The Section approved a plan and extension of the deadline for
compliance for July 31, 2019 for "the materials in this stockpile that are substantially free of stumps and/or identifiable
wood waste to be used in the planned stabilization of the inactive portions of the 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phases 1 through 3).
All stumps and land clearing materials larger than can be used for this application, must be treated as yard waste in
accordance with Nash County Landfill's Operation Plan, which states that yard waste will be ground, and Nash County
Landfill's Permit to Operate which states, `at least 75% by weight of recyclable and recovery material must be removed
from the site within one year."'
During the July 9, 2020 inspection, some of the material from this area had been removed and used on 6403-CDLF-2000
(Phases 1 through 3) to help establish vegetative growth. However, most of the burned yard waste material remained in
place and was seeded by the contractor. This area is not approved for disposal. Additionally, during the removal of the
material, it was discovered that the burned yard waste was heavily contaminated with non -vegetative waste such as plastics,
metals, etc., and wood waste that was not suitable for application on 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phases 1 through 3). All of the non -
vegetative and non -suitable wood wastes need to be removed and disposed of properly. Do not place this material in the
LCID landfill without first screening out the unacceptable waste. During the September 24, 2020 and December 16, 2020
inspections, no additional progress was identified within the burned yard waste area. Correspondence from Nash County
has documented the removal and use of the burned yard waste as cover. During this inspection, it was determined that the
burned yard waste volume has been greatly reduced. The remainder of the burned yard waste should be placed within LCID
once it has been opened.

15A NCAC 13B .0542 (k)(1 and 2), "Adequate sediment control measures consisting of vegetative cover, materials,
structures or devices must be utilized to prevent sediment from leaving the C&DLF facility... (and) prevent excessive
on -site erosion of the C&DLF facility or unit."
PARTIALLY RESOLVED: During this inspection, the sediment basin, located to the north of 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phase
4), was still in need of being cleaned out. Based on previous correspondence, the sediment basin is scheduled to be cleaned
out in the Spring of 2021. The sediment basin needs to be cleaned out to allow the basin to function properly. Grasses have
also been established along the ditches to help stabilize the slopes and should be mowed to allow for access during sample
events and proper inspection.

15A NCAC 13B .0542 (e) (16), "Waste accepted for disposal in a C&D LF unit must be readily identifiable as C&D
waste and must not have been shredded, pulverized, or processed to such an extent that the composition of the
original waste cannot be readily ascertained except as specified in Subparagraph (17) of this Paragraph."
And July 13, 2020 Permit to Operate, Attachment 3, Part II (7)(a), "The landfill is permitted to receive the following
waste types: "C&D solid waste" as defined in 15A NCAC 1313, Rule .0532 (8) means solid waste generated solely
from the construction, remodeling, repair, or demolition operations on pavement buildings or structures. C&D waste
does not include municipal and industrial wastes that may be generated by the on -going operations at buildings or
structures."
During this inspection, a load of waste primarily comprised of cardboard boxes, from a local mobile home manufacturer,
was dumped onto the working face of 6403-CDLF-2000 (Phase 4). The cardboard boxes do not meet the definition of C&D
waste. The cardboard boxes should be recycled and not placed within the CDLF. Mr. Barnes stated that he had previously
contacted the generator of the cardboard waste and stated that the cardboard waste could not be disposed of in the CDLF.
Mr. Barnes stated that he would contact the generator again and reiterate that the cardboard could not be disposed of at the
CDLF. The cardboard should be recycled, not placed in the CDLF.
OBSERVED VIOLATIONS
None.
The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance

2. Recommend that you review the sedimentation and erosion control plans for this facility and ensure that approved
measures are constructed properly and in place as required. Basins impacted by excess sediment should be cleaned
out, restored to plan specifications and properly maintained.
3. The CDLF working face was compacted and under the %2 acre size limit. Ensure that six (6) inches of earthen
material is applied once weekly or when the working face reaches % acre in size.
