STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
A. 15A NCAC 13B .0405(11) states in part"... all waste shall be removed from the tipping floor at the end of the

Jackson County is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0405(11) for failing to remove all waste from the
tipping floor at the end of each operational day. On the morning of October 1, 2021 at 6:30 am, a pre-
operational inspection of the transfer station was conducted to ensure that all waste was being removed
from the tipping floor as required by 15A NCAC 13B .0405(11). During the inspection construction and
demolition waste was observed on the tipping floor that had been left there from the previous operational
day.
To correct the violation, Jackson County must remove all waste from the tipping floor at the end of each
operational day and dispose of it in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0405. Additional inspections will be
conducted to ensure that the tipping floor is clean at the end of each operational day.
