STATUS OF PERMIT:
Notified LCID approved September 30, 2011.
Recorded in Warren County Register of Deeds: Book 0960 — Page 665.
PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT:
Comprehensive Inspection
STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
None.
OBSERVED VIOLATIONS:
15A NCAC 13B .0566 (2), "Solid waste in the landfill shall be compacted. Slopes shall not exceed a ratio of three
horizontal to one vertical at any time."
UNRESOLVED, SOME PROGRESS MADE: At the time of this inspection, the northern and portions of the eastern
side slopes had been graded and sloped. The western side slope was still identified to be steeper that 3:1. During this
inspection, it was determined that some cover soil was staged within the access road along the western side of the landfill.
The side slopes need to be properly covered and graded to meet the three horizontal to one vertical requirement.
15A NCAC 13B .0566 (3), "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." At the time of this inspection, the waste at the top of
the landfill and along the side slopes had not been covered; however, rocky cover soil was observed within the access

road along the western side of the landfill. The waste must be covered monthly or when the working face reaches one acre
in size. Ensure that the waste is covered with no less than six inches of soil monthly or when the working face
reaches one acre in size.
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. The access road is of all-weather construction and appears to be properly maintained.
2. 15A NCAC 13B .0564 (6) (b), "Buffer Requirements: A site shall maintain the following buffer
requirements: ... 100 feet from the waste boundary to property lines, residential dwellings, commercial or
public buildings, and potable wells." At the time of this inspection, it appeared that waste was encroaching on
a sliver of PIN 3918423053, which is located to the east of Pearl Harbor Road. In order to meet the buffer
requirements, you could either move the waste away from the property boundary or attempt to purchase the sliver
of land from the owner to meet the 100-foot setback.
3. 15A NCAC 13B .0201 (g), "Disposal area boundaries for landfills permitted in accordance with Section
.0500 or .1600 of this Subchapter shall be delineated with stationary markers affixed to the ground. The
markers shall be of height and spacing so that they are distinguishable from the surrounding landscape,
and so that the adjacent markers are visible when standing at a marker." Edge of waste markers were not
visible during this inspection. Permanent, clearly visible edge of waste markers must be established at the
site, showing the under two -acre disposal boundary.
4. The waste stream observed appeared to be relatively clean. Several pieces of a plastic mesh material were
observed.
5. 15A NCAC 13B .0564 (7), "The site shall establish and maintain an access road around the waste boundary
for access by emergency or fire -fighting vehicles and equipment." A partial access road was identified during
this inspection. The eastern side slope was overgrown with vegetation and could not be accessed via vehicle.
6. Digital pictures were taken during the inspection.
7. Corrective measures are necessary at this facility. Measures to bring the facility into compliance must be
completed within 30 days of receipt of this report. The Solid Waste Section will conduct a follow-up
inspection in 30 days to ensure issues noted in this inspection report have been addressed.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
