ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. David Powell, with the Section, visiting Yard Waste Notification (YWN) for compliance inspection. Mr.
Powell contacted City of Fayetteville before visiting. Site is secured with gate.

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 notified area 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. Renewal shall be submitted by June 1st of each year.

3. 2020 and 2021 renewal states, “There will be composting, the formation of windrows for leaves and grass clippings, windrows will be turned annually. Land debris, wood stumps will be loaded and hauled to county landfill. Mulch is windrows in rows 20'x100' and will be turned when temperature reaches 130 degrees.” It
appears the activities stated in the renewal are not occurring. Temperatures must be maintained at 131 degrees or above for three consecutive days, rule reference 15A NCAC 13B .1406.
4. Mr. Powell discovered a few loads of vegetative waste onsite. This waste has been here for an undetermined amount of time but not recently dumped. Some waste was older with dense vegetation covering and outlining
edges. Older waste has been pushed to edges and allowed to decompose. This is essentially disposal and this site is not approved for such activity. Yard waste should be removed to appropriate disposal site.

5. There is a pre-regulatory landfill (PRLF) reportedly located at this site. A YWN cannot be located on top of a closed-out disposal site per 15A NCAC 13B (g)(1)(D). The operator must demonstrate that the YWN is not located over the PRLF if you wish to continue this operation at this site. An evaluation of the site to determine the limits of the PRLF should be conducted should you desire to continue to operate at this location. It is recommended that you contact PRLF staff for guidance on the evaluation process. 6. Mr. Powell contacted Mr. James Powell, with City of Fayetteville, to discuss the issues at the YWN site and what needs to be done to become compliant. It was agreed that research needed to be done by Section staff and City staff to determine how to proceed with corrective actions. A future site meeting onsite at each YWN facility would be scheduled, after researching the facilities and the other sites that some of them have on or nearby the
YWN’s, to discuss those corrective actions and what may not need to be done to not disturb the PRLF under one of the sites. Sections draft guidance document for street sweepings and YWN rules were emailed to City of Fayetteville contacts on 9/24/2021.
7. Corrective measures are necessary as result of this inspection. A future meeting will be scheduled to meet onsite with City staff to discuss options after reviewing site historical documents. After this meeting, a follow up compliance inspection will be conducted by Solid Waste Section. The operator must cease accepting waste at this site until conditions for compliance have been met. Failure to meet the conditions for compliance may result in further Compliance Actions.
