Purpose of this inspection was to follow up on a complaint and closure of this facility. The approximate 70 loads of soil/asphalt mix that were brought in have been removed by the owner Fred Smith Company, for recycle of asphalt and soil. Conversation via email with Deyna Ackerman, July 8, 2021 and Chris McClean, July 2, 2021, indicate they removed all the waste to one of their sites in Carthage. They also replaced soil to cover and regrade the area that was impacted by their waste on the 63C LCID. They also came back and put straw/seed on the area. Pictures were provided. Below are Mr. Powell’s photos. Straw and seeded area where the ~ 70 loads of the asphalt/soil mix were dumped in May 2021. 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.

Allan Casavant, owner, decided to begin closure process at the landfill instead of applying for a permit renewal. There has been recent communication with Mr. Casavant about submitting the completed final paperwork for closure but it has yet to be submitted. Please do so ASAP once corrective actions have been addressed. 3. Be sure and continue to remove unapproved wastes, such as plastic, pipe and rubber mud flaps from dump truck and dispose at appropriate landfill. Equipment and vehicles are still being stored inside the Edge of Waste (EOW). Nothing should be on the landfill or inside EOW markers. EOW markers should be fixed to meet rule. T-posts were visible and represented the EOW, according to Mr. Casavant. It should be determined if all these markers are EOW markers and in correct locations. Inspector will need to revisit for closure and verify the distance of buffers using these EOW markers. Permit Condition No. 10, Part 1 of Attachment 3 of the Permit to Operated dated September 16, 2013 (DIN 18927) - The permanent markers that accurately delineate the waste disposal boundary must be maintained. Looking from EOW to inside of landfill at trash, vehicles, trailers etc. stored inside EOW footprint.

Remaining bare areas need vegetative ground cover, sufficient to restrain erosion, shall be established at this facility. Some vegetation needed mowing. Cut the trees/shrubs that are growing on side slopes. There are some along the road and some in front, along the side slope etc. Be sure and continue vegetation establishing efforts until successful. Some areas were recently seeded after soil was brought in and spread. Good job. Mr. Casavant stated a water truck will be brought in to irrigate the seeded areas. West side bare area now has topsoil and seeded.

Some uncovered vegetative waste was visible during inspection. Several logs, and a few chunks of large concrete/asphalt were needing cover or removal to appropriate landfill. Ensure those areas have the required depth of soil cover for closure. Uncovered waste (logs/rock/concrete) east side of LF FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 6 of 7 Additional exposed waste (concrete/asphalt/rock) in rear or east side of LF. Cover appropriately or remove to proper disposal landfill. 6. Some potentially hazardous wastes are being stored just outside EOW. A couple pallets of motor oil in five gallon buckets were visible during inspection. Some were open with no lid or caps. Should these be dumped or spilled and contaminate the soil, then further compliance action and monitoring may be required for this site. Please remove to appropriate disposal location. Mr. Casavant on phone said he had plans to remove these wastes. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 7 of 7 7. Owner should communicate with the Sections Permit Engineer, Ming Chao, and with Moore County, to ensure all requirements that are needed for closure. Owner should communicate with Moore County Planning and Zoning for any permits or actions they may require. Also, DEMLR should be contacted, (910-433-3300 Tim LaBounty) in regards to any mining, sedimentation and erosion control and storm water requirements. 8. The Section has not received the require documentation to close the site. Once the property is sold, then new owner can apply for a permit at that time if they wish, but the site must be properly closed and in compliance per the rules before submitting a new application for permit. Please bring this site into compliance and submit required closure documentation. 9. Corrective measures are necessary to bring the landfill into compliance and should be completed within 30 day’s receipt of this inspection report. Confirm EOW markers/location and that site is compliant with buffer rules. Requested final closure documents need to be submitted to Section Permitting. Ensure proper cover and finish establishing grass cover. Cover or remove exposed wastes inside landfill. Equipment removed from landfill and inside EOW markers. Hazardous oil waste removed and disposed of properly. Remove shrubs/trees from landfill. Check with Moore County Solid Waste/Planning and Zoning on closure requirements. Check with DEMLR on closure requirements.
