2. RESOLVED: 15A NCAC 13B .0563(1) states, "The site shall only accept yard waste and inert debris
waste for disposal. " No unacceptable wastes were found during the inspection of the LCID
landfill and the yard waste and inert debris collection areas. Therefore, this violation is
considered to be resolved.
3. RESOLVED: 15A NCAC 13B .0566(3) states, `All waste shall be covered with no less than six inches of
soil monthly, or when the working face reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first. Any soils used
for cover at the site shall meet unrestricted use standards for soils as defined in G.S. 130A-310.65. "
All waste in the LCID landfill, with the exception of the current working face, was observed to
have been covered with at least 6" of soil. Mr. Cain provided an operating log in which he had
indicated the date the landfill was covered, and information about the new lift that had been
started after cover had been completed. Therefore, this violation is considered to be resolved.

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
