ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Purpose of inspection was to investigate a complaint received day before about landfill operating again and
follow up on closure. This landfill is not permitted to accept any waste due to an expired permit in 2018. CEASE ACCEPTING WASTE. Remove all equipment and vehicles from inside the EOW and stop operating on top the LCID other than corrective actions. Two options for compliance were offered:
Remove all soil/asphalt mix to appropriate landfill or screen out asphalt and use soil for cover and the asphalt will go to appropriate landfill or be recycled. A 30-day time frame was given and documentation of either option is needed to be sent to Section staff David Powell.
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 with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an
administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit, or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.

2. The permit for the Stump Hole LCID landfill expired in September of 2018. Allan Casavant, owner, decided to
begin closure process at the landfill instead of applying for a permit renewal. There has been recent communication with Mr. Casavant about submitting the completed final paperwork for closure but it has yet to be submitted. Please do so ASAP.

3. Be sure and remove unapproved wastes, such as plastic bags and rubber mud flaps from dump truck and dispose at appropriate landfill.
4. Some areas have eroded, although soil has been added for cover. Some exposed waste still exists. Vegetative ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion shall be established at this facility. Some vegetation need mowing. This is important to resolve previous violations. Cut trees that are growing on side slope next to roadway.

5. Owner should communicate again with the Sections Permit Engineer, Ming Chao, for Moore County, to ensure all requirements that are needed for closure. Owner should communicate with County Planning and Zoning for any permits or actions they may require. Also, DEMLR should be contacted in regards to any mining, sedimentation and erosion control and storm water requirements. 6. EOW markers should be fixed to meet rule.
Permit Condition No. 10, Part 1 of Attachment 3 of the Permit to Operated dated September 16, 2013 (DIN 18927) - The permanent markers that accurately delineate the waste disposal boundary must be maintained. 7.

Once the property is sold, then new owner can apply for a permit at that time, but the site must be properly closed and in compliance per the rules before submitting a new application for permit. Please bring this site into compliance and submit required closure documentation.
8. Corrective measures are necessary to bring the landfill into compliance and should be completed within 30 day’s receipt of this inspection report. The trailer/residence needs to be moved to become complaint with buffer rules. Requested final closure documents need to be submitted to Section Permitting. All soil/asphalt waste should be removed or have the asphalt separated from the soil and use the soil for cover. Provide documentation or photos for asphalt being removed either to an appropriate landfill or recycling process. Better cover with establishing vegetation once cover is added. EOW markers repaired and installed in correct locations. Submit final closure documentation.
