UNRESOLVED: During the inspection, surface water was observed ponding against the southern edge of the
LCID. The area needs to be properly graded to promote drainage away from the LCID. Any waste identified in
the ponding water needs to be moved away from the water and properly covered.
C. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (2), "Solid waste in the landfill shall be compacted. Slopes shall not exceed a ratio of
three horizontal to one vertical at any time."
UNRESOLVED: Some of the slopes, especially the slope leading to the front entrance, where the water was
ponding, were steeper than 3:1. This issue was also noted in the October 22, 2020, January 29, 2019, September
5, 2018, and February 13, 2018, inspection reports.
