ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. This site visit was conducted to provide technical assistance to new facility management staff by performing a
walkthrough partial inspection and answering questions during the process.
2. The site was secured by gates. Weather resistant signs were posted with the name of the operator, emergency
contact information, operating hours, permit number of the current permit authorizing operations, the types of
waste that can be accepted under the permit, and that hazardous waste and liquid waste cannot be accepted at
the site.
3. The roads were of all-weather construction and were being maintained so that they were accessible by loaded
collection vehicles.
4. Waste screening forms were reviewed. The forms showed the final disposition of any unacceptable material
encountered and that the facility was conducting enough waste screenings to meet the requirements of 15A
NCAC 13B .0405 (8)(A).
5. Facility staff were advised that all required records, including the current permit to operate and approved
operations plan, must be maintained on site and available for review upon request.
6. The crack in the metal apron of the transfer hopper that was observed during the July 21, 2021 inspection had
been repaired. County staff welded new metal over the crack to prevent waste from dropping through to the
loading bay.
7. Metal that was recovered from incoming loads had been placed on the north side of the hopper on the concrete
apron. Move all material that has been placed on the apron to the proper location at the end of each
operating day so that proper cleaning and maintenance can be conducted as required by15A NCAC 13B
.0405 (11).
8. Windblown waste was minimal and was well managed at the time of inspection.
9. The leachate drains in the loading bay and loaded trailer parking area were observed and appeared to be
functioning as designed. The leachate collection system is connected to the Bryson City Sanitary Sewer system.
10. Two transfer trailers were on site at the time of inspection, one in the loading bay and one in the loaded trailer
parking area. Both trailers appeared to be leak resistant.
11. One trailer was staged to the southeast of the scale house to receive scrap tires; no scrap tires were stored
outside the trailer.
12. Construction and demolition material is collected in three roll off containers located to the east of the scale house.
No unapproved material was observed in the containers.
