15A NCAC 13B .1626 (2)(c) states "Areas which will not have additional wastes placed on them for 12 months
or more, but where final termination of disposal operations has not occurred, shall be covered with a
minimum of one foot of intermediate cover."
Unresolved: Inadequate soil cover was observed across the side slopes of the Ann Street Subtitle D Landfill resulting
in exposed waste and eroded areas.
15A NCAC 136 .1626 (7)(c) states "Provisions for a vegetative ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion must
be accomplished within 30 working days or 120 calendar days upon completion of any phase of MSWLF
development."
Unresolved: Vegetative ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion had not been established in the inactive areas
of the landfill at the time of this inspection.
OBSERVED VIOLATIONS:
In addition to the unresolved violations noted above, the following new violation is added:
15A NCAC 13B .1406 states in part "
(3) Surface water shall be diverted from the operational, compost curing, and storage areas.
(4) Leachate shall be contained on site treated to meet the standards of the off -site disposal
method.
The area of stockpiled mulch/compost in the tree line adjacent to the eastern slope of the landfill needs to be
drained of all water. Water that is/was generated from and/or is in contact with waste is considered leachate and
must be treated as such, therefore the resulting water removed from this area should be disposed in the landfill's
leachate collection system. This is a concern that has been expressed on multiple occasions to facility staff and
no action has been taken to date. To address this issue, a plan of action shall be submitted to the Solid Waste
Section addressing this area and its future use. If the intended future use is to continue to manage wood waste in
the area, the facility permit will need to be amended, including updated site maps and submit to SWS permitting
staff for review and approval.
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.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Waste was observed protruding from the side slopes of the Active MSW landfill at the time of this inspection.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .1626 (2) corrective actions are required. Uncovered and protruding waste
has been observed at this Facility since February 2017. All waste must be covered each day in accordance to
the permit, rules and approved operations plan for this facility.

2. Bare and eroded areas were observed at the time of this inspection. Bare areas need to be seeded to aid in
erosion prevention as soon as they are observed.
3. A large washout is located along the haul road at the toe of the western slope and continues into the
sedimentation basin between the MSW and C&D landfills. Adequate sediment control measures (structures or
devices), shall be utilized to prevent onsite erosion and silt from leaving the landfill.
4. The slopes of the landfills are to be maintained at a minimum of 4:1, except for the eastern slope, of the active
MSW phase III, which may be graded at a 3.5:1 slope as approved in the Approval of Phase III Operating Capacity
Modification letter dated August 8, 2016. Any modifications or changes to the approved operations plan or
permit must be submitted to the permitting branch for approval prior to implementation.
5. Equipment is damaging existing cover and exposing waste. All exposed waste must be covered (and maintained)
with a minimum of 6 inches of soil cover in active areas, and 12 inches in inactive areas, unless otherwise
approved by the Section. It is strongly recommended that facility staff not drive heavy equipment and trucks
up side slopes, to prevent slope destabilization and erosion, once intermediate cover has been placed.
6. The working face was very large at the time of this inspection. It is recommended that the working face be kept
to a more manageable size. Please, note that alternative daily cover is only approved on interior slopes of the
landfill
7. If tires are to be used to secure the alternative daily cover tarp in place please, ensure that the tires are not
being run over by equipment and buried in the waste.
8. Per facility operations plan, the permittee must properly maintain permanent physical markers that accurately
identify the edge of the approved waste footprint for all active, inactive, and closed disposal units at the landfill
facility.
9. Improvements have been made since the last inspection on July 11, 2017, however, corrective measures are
necessary based on the landfill conditions observed during this inspection and should be completed to bring the
site into compliance with the rules, permit and approved operations plan.
10. The Solid Waste Section received a letter dated August 3rd from Jerod Roberts on August 7, 2017 requesting an
extension to complete corrective measures until September 1, 2017.
11. Solid Waste Section staff will conduct another follow up inspection of the corrective measures on September
5" to allow the county to implement the items outlined in the August 3Td extension request. If corrective
measures are not completed at the time of the inspection on September 5, 2017, the Section will pursue
additional tiered enforcement moving forward.
