ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Section staff met with Barnhill Contracting representatives to provide technical assistance on closure of the facility/purchasing and renewing permit for operating. Site will essentially need to go through closure requirements before it can be considered for a new permit. For meeting this requirement, documentation of borings confirming proper cover with engineer certification should be provided. All buffers being met with proper sloping 3:1 on all slopes. 2. Overgrown vegetation should be mowed, and trees larger than 6 inches should be cut, with the root ball removed and proper soil replaced and compacted. Less than 6 inches, should be cut down and ensure they don’t return. Ensure all ruts and settled areas over the waste are graded to ensure water is not ponding on top of waste. Edge of Waste (EOW) markers shall be installed. They should be visible from one to the other, suggest tall white PVC pipe. 3. Also, property lines and edge of waste should be permanently marked and visible to ensure that the buffer of 100’ is
maintained. Last inspection it was noted that it appeared that the buffer “appears to average eighty (80) feet from edge of waste to the property line on the west slope.” Disposal area shall be covered with a minimum of one foot of suitable soil cover sloped to allow surface water runoff in a controlled manner. 4. If this facility receives a permit for operating, then there are issues that will need to be addressed before operations can commence. A sign must be posted at the entrance in accordance to the rule. 5. As the site is mowed, exposed waste may be discovered. Cover all waste along the toe of the slopes and grade the area in accordance to your approved plans to ensure that water flows away from the waste. Ensure that grading activities do not reduce separation to the seasonal high groundwater table. Side slopes should not exceed a 3:1 ratio. All exposed waste must be covered and provisions for a ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion.
6. Current access road, if maintained properly, should continue to meet rule requirement. New rule siting requirements are that an access road around the EOW be installed and maintained. 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. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (7) - Access roads shall be of all-weather construction and shall be maintained to allow access by vehicles transporting waste, Department staff, and fire-fighting vehicles. 7. Follow up with Ben Jackson, Permitting Engineer, on progress and if anything is needed to finalize the renewal. Contact Information Section Permitting Branch Engineer Benjamin Jackson – [e-mail] / 919 -707 – 8234 office.
