FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 4 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. Section staff visited YWN to do follow up on removal of much of the yard waste onsite. Yard waste was being hauled to Robeson County Landfill for disposal. Disposal weight tickets were provided on 10/11/2021 by Mr. Lowry. 2. A Yard Waste Notification is a Small Type 1 facility. It shall have an operations area less than two acres in size and shall be limited to no more than 6,000 cubic yards’ material onsite at any given time, including finished product. Rules were readopted in late 2019 (15A NCAC 13B .1400’s rules for Small Type 1 Compost facilities (Yard Waste Notifications). A review of the new rule changes would be good for any staff dealing with the YWN. Yard waste cannot remain in the notification for disposal. If not using for approved processes, then must remove to a disposal site for that waste type. A YWN is for staging, processing and composting. Facility cannot give waste out to public without meeting requirements of 15A NCAC 13B .1406 rules. Mr. Powell emailed 15A NCAC 13B .1401 - .1408 rules for Mr. Lowry for review via email on 5/19/2021. 3. Some waste was outside of approved area up near entrance at fence, during last visit, but has since been removed or put back inside the YWN, good job. The YWN should not be overloaded so that there is no room to work. Sooner processing/removal should occur before there is no space left in the 2-acre notification. Remember 6,000 cubic yards/2-acre notification size limitations. Yard waste can only be staged in this area, and should not be dumped anywhere else unless that site is also approved. 4. Edge of waste (EOW) markers are still needed for the 4 corners of the 2-acre notification. This will help inspector see edge of waste and onsite staff to know the limits of operations for the notification. Suggest tall, white PVC pipe. These were not visible or installed at time of inspection. Please install. Mr. Lowry emailed pictures of EOW markers installed on 10/8/2021. East side older waste bordering near field. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 3 of 4 5. In the July inspection, Mr. Powell stressed the need to better prepare the soil pad for the YWN after waste is removed. The site needs to be built up and sloped so that waste is not water in future. Waste cannot be stored in water. The access road to the site shall be of all-weather construction and maintained. Older composted yard waste still needs removing. Much has been removed and new waste is being brought into right side with older waste on south and east sides bordering field and woods line. Older waste along Southside woods line. 6. There was a fair amount of unapproved waste comingled through the yard waste onsite during last inspection. Be sure and remove and dispose at a landfill for that waste type before allowing it to be sent to a landfill for disposal.
