AREAS OF CONCERN AND COMMENTS:
1. The permit and operations plan were reviewed at the beginning of the Audit. All records were
available and presented in an orderly manner.
2. The signs at the entrance to the facility are according to permit.
3. The facility is receiving around 1700 tons of waste per day.
4. The landfill employs around 8 people for daily operations.
5. The hours of operation are Monday thru Friday 6:30am — 4:00pm.
6. The facility is permitted to receive waste generated within the States of North Carolina and South
Carolina.
7. The facility currently accepts MSW, Tires, Electronics, Leachate for solidification and disposal, Pallets
and Clean wood and yard waste for grinding.
8. The tire certification records were reviewed and need to be completely filled out by the Facility
personnel. The bottom portion of the forms is not being completed.
9. The Contingency Plan should include a call list of persons to call in the event of an emergency.
10. Leachate from the Richmond County Transfer Station is stored in a tanker on top of the inactive portion
of the landfill. The leachate is solidified with wood media and disposed of in the active working face.
11. Asbestos is received for disposal and covered immediately. Locations are documented on the facility
drawings.
12. The certified personnel are as follows:
Brian Blalock — Certified Landfill Operator — Expires December 6, 2015
Steve N. Fincher — Certified Landfill Operator — Expires May 4, 2015
Ryan Smith - Certified Landfill Operator — Expires November 12, 2017
William Melton - Certified Landfill Operator — Expires March 16, 2016
Charles Gilliland - Certified Landfill Operator — Expires December 6, 2015
13. Semi-annual monitoring of leachate is being conducted as required.
14. The financial assurance was revised on November 7, 2013.
15. The ground water monitoring records were reviewed and are being conducted semi-annually as
required.
16. Landfill gas monitoring is not being conducted at this time. The 1,100 acre tract of land consists of
geological features that prevent the migration of landfill gas to the property lines. I would
recommend placing gas monitors in onsite structures. As a minimum gas detection monitors need to
be installed in the shop and the shed by the leachate tanks.
17. The monitoring wells were reviewed. The wells are to be locked and labeled. Some were missing
locks. The wells had silt and vegetative growth on the concrete pads. The vegetation and silt needs to
be removed. Weed killer should not be used around monitoring points.
18. The access and haul roads are being maintained for safe and easy access.
19. The edge of waste markers need be replaced or installed as needed to identify the landfill waste
boundary.
20. A ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion needs to be provided on previously disturbed areas.
Small reels and eroded areas need to be graded and repaired as not to expose waste and to minimize
on site erosion. As a minimum, the provisions for a ground cover need to be installed within 30 days.
21. The sedimentation and erosion control measures were reviewed and appear to be functioning as
designed. No off -site sedimentation was noted during the inspection.
22. No leachate breakouts or seeps were noted during the inspection.

23. An excessive amount of windblown litter was noted outside the working face or off the landfill foot
print. Windblown litter is to be collected and returned to the working face at the end of the day. A
contingency plan needs to be developed to address extreme conditions to ensure windblown litter is
properly collected.
24. The working face was reviewed and was being compacted into cells. The working face was small
and manageable.
25. The previous days cover was reviewed and is being covered as required. Tarps, ASR and ash are
being used as an alternative daily cover.
26. Perimeter slopes need to be free of thick vegetation or trees. The slope on the west side needs to be
free of trees and thick vegetation. I would recommend regarding this area and providing a low
growing vegetation.
27. The leachate solidification area needs to be cleaned up free of waste outside the pit. The spillage
should be cleaned up and disposed of at the end of the day.
28. The gas flare was reviewed and was not operating during the inspection.
29. Leachate collection lines are being maintained. The sumps and pumps at collection points have
recently been cleaned.
30. There are two 200,000 gallon leachate storage tanks on site, however, only one is currently in
service. As Waste Connections works toward a permanent solution to the leachate storage system,
personnel will inspect the tanks on a daily basis to identify signs of possible leaks. In addition,
Waste Connections will identify a local supplier of frac tanks as a contingency plan in case issues
are observed to the functioning 200,000 gallon storage tank.
31. Leachate from the facility is being disposed of by pump and haul to the Anson County Waste Water
Treatment Plant.
32. Tires are accepted for disposal into a covered trailer.
33. A load of construction waste was dumped in the yard waste area during the inspection. The operator
removed the load to the working face during the inspection.
34. The yard waste area was reviewed and needs better management. Non wood waste needs to be
removed and disposed of properly as noticed or on a daily basis as a minimum.
35. Digital photos were taken during the inspection.
36. Corrective actions are needed as a result of this inspection.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
