2. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IN PROGRESS: 15A NCAC 13B .0566(9) states: "Solid waste shall not be disposed

Hwy 3 LCID LLC is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0566(9) for disposing solid waste in water. Mr. Mills
stated he would have his equipment operator move all the wood debris from the standing water and to clear
an area for the drainage pipe to be installed.
To achieve compliance, Hwy 3 LCID LLC must drain all the standing water from the landfill and ensure no
solid waste is disposed of in water by September 1, 2021. Submit a plan for diverting surface water away
from the disposal area of the landfill so that future rain events do not cause waste to be disposed of in water.
The plan should be provided by e-mail to Kim Sue at: kim.sue(&ncdenr.gov by September 1, 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. 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. Site consists of a Notified Land Clearing and Inert Debris Landfill. The facility is approved for the disposal of
land clearing waste, concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soil, gravel and rock, untreated and unpainted
wood and yard trash.
2. Access to the site had a concrete entrance and is secured by a gate.
3. A sign had been installed at the entrance of the site detailing acceptable wastes, hours of operation, contact name
and phone number for emergencies.
4. A building for the site attendant is still under construction but finished enough to be occupied. Janice Harmon is
the site attendant. An operator shall be on duty at all times while the site is open for public use to assure
compliance with operational requirements and to prevent acceptance of unauthorized wastes.
5. The entrance roadway is of all-weather construction, made of compacted stone, and was found to be in good
condition at the time of the inspection.
6. Edge of waste markers were installed around the perimeter of the landfill. Additional markers were installed thirty
feet outside of the edge of waste. These thirty foot offset markers will allow the facility to reinstall any edge of
waste markers that become damaged or displaced.
7. During the inspection water was observed ponding at the bottom of the landfill disposal area. Waste had been

placed in the ponding water. (See observed violations section of this report for additional information.)
8. It is recommended that landfilling operations take place at the western end of the excavated area, where the
ground elevation is higher. This would allow the fill area to drain naturally downhill to the eastern end of
the landfill. Ideally, waste should be moved from the tipping area to the western end as it arrives. This
would be an effective means of ensuring waste is not disposed of in water.
9. The facility appears to meet the buffer requirements, as stated in 15A NCAC 13B .0564 (6), of a minimum of 50
feet from the waste boundary to surface water and 100 feet from the waste boundary to property lines, residential
dwellings, commercial or public buildings, and potable wells.
10. Solid waste in the landfill shall be compacted and slopes shall not exceed a ratio of 3:1 at any time. The excavated
slopes were observed to be steeper than 3:1. Ensure the grade of excavated slopes is reduced to a maximum of
3:1.
11. It is required that all waste shall be covered with no less than 6 inches of soil monthly, or when the working
face reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first.
12. It is recommended a cover log shall be established that includes the date that monthly cover is applied to all
of the waste in the landfill. The log may also include the amount of soil used to achieve the minimum 6"
cover and the man hours spent, if desired by the landfill operator. The cover log should be maintained in the
landfill office so that it is available for review upon request.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
