Compliance Inspection Report

NO694
Warren County
Dear Mr. Myrick:
On December 1, 2011, Mary Whaley and Ben Barnes, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of
Waste Management Solid Waste Section ("Section"), inspected the above referenced facility for compliance
with North Carolina Solid Waste Statues and Rules. During this inspection, the following items were noted
and/or observed:
1. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (4) states "Adequate soil cover shall be applied monthly, or when the active area
reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first." There was not any soil cover and it appeared that
there has not been any cover since the fire several years ago.
2. 15A NCAC 13B .0565 (3)(j) states "Excavation, grading, and fill material side slopes shall not exceed
three to one (3:1)." The side slopes were steeper than 3:1.
The above deficiencies may have or can compromise the facility's ability to ensure protection of the public
health and the environment and thus require remedial action on behalf of the facility in order to achieve
compliance with 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (4) and 15A NCAC 13B .0565 (3)(j). By January 30, 2012, the facility
must complete the following:
1. Place an adequate soil cover over the land clearing debris including the side walls.
2. Insure that all side walls are kept at a slope of no greater than 3:1.
Failure to comply with this schedule may subject the responsible party to enforcement actions including a
notice of violation, civil penalty, 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. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22(a) and 15A NCAC 13B .0701-
.0707, an administrative penalty of up to $15,000.00 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid
Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit, or an Order issued under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the
N.C. General Statutes.
