STATUS OF PERMIT:
Date of Last Inspection: April 13, 2021
A Permit to Construct Phase 3 and Permit to Operate Phase 1, 3A-1, and 3A-1.2 was issued to Red Rock Disposal, LLC
(9228-CDLF-2001) on October 27, 2020 and will expire on November 19, 2061 or when the facility reaches its final
permitted elevations. The twenty-year term of the franchise agreement with the County of Wake was executed on June 5,
2000(FID 1226738).
PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT:
Follow up inspection of Red Rock Disposal's self -reported leachate release.
STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
1. Violation: 15A NCAC 13B .0542 (1)(4), Leachate must be contained on -site or treated prior to discharge. An
NPDES permit may be required prior to the discharge of leachate to surface waters.
Status: Corrective Actions Underway. Previously, Red Rock Disposal, LLC had taken actions that stopped the
flow of leachate. These actions included: pumping the leachate from the sumps in the French Drain System and
hauling either to a wastewater treatment facility or the top of the landfill, repairing the toe of the slope where the
leachate release occurred, and repairing the pipe fitting where a second release occurred. Red Rock submitted a
samplingplan and report to the Section, which were approved on March 30, 2021. Soils from the leachate impacted
ditch and pond had been removed prior to the sampling event. Red Rock Disposal must still submit an updated
Operations Plan once the long term solutions for handling leachate at the site have been determined.
