Dear Mr. Gene Walters:
On July 6, 2021, the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section (Section) issued a Notice of Violation letter to Robeson County, regarding violations at the Robeson County MSW Landfill. The
Solid Waste Section conducted a follow-up inspection of the site on August 12, 2021 and September 15, 2021. Due to the fact that the violations noted in the July 6, 2021, letter have not been corrected at this time, you are
hereby notified that the Section intends to move forward in the enforcement process. In order to potentially
abate any further action forthcoming, it is recommended that the corrective actions listed in the NOV letter be
taken immediately upon receipt of this notice.

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.

We solicit your cooperation and would like to avoid taking further enforcement actions. At the same time, it is
your responsibility to comply with the requirements of the General Statutes and/or the North Carolina
Administrative Code.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (910) 433 - 3350 or e-mail [e-mail].
Sincerely,

David Powell
