The facility is open Monday through Friday 7:00 am - 4:00 pm and Saturday 8:00 am - 12:00 pm. 3. The facility permit and permit application comments were discussed. 4. The permit currently authorizes operation of the C&D landfill, Phase 1. 5. Six inches of earthen material, used as cover, is required weekly and when the disposal area exceeds one-half acre. 6. The working face appeared small and compact.
7. The landfill cap, side slopes, and groundcover appeared maintained. 8. No windblown litter observed this inspection. 9. There was no indication of erosion or runoff. 10. Landfill edge of waste markers were observed. 11. Phase 2 area of the C&D landfill was observed this inspection. 12.

Well casing, lock and label appear to be in compliance with 15A NCAC 02C .0108 (k, l, m & p). 16. Orange County has a Temporary Disaster Debris Staging Site (TDDSS, DS68-002) located adjacent to the active area of the C&D landfill in the undeveloped area allotted for Phases 2 and 3. This site was deactivated on March 13, 2019. 17. Effective January 1, 2021, the establishment of temporary debris storage and reduction sites (TDSRs), formerly called Temporary Disaster Debris Staging Site (TDDSS), and the management of debris and wastes regulated under 15A NCAC 13B are required to meet the provisions of rule 15A NCAC 13B .0208(b) in order to be
temporarily exempt from solid waste permitting requirements.
18. 15A NCAC 13B .0208(b) states: “A temporary debris storage and reduction site (site) shall not be required to obtain a permit from the Division for the temporary operation of these sites for solid waste management after a disaster event if the operations comply with Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the
General Statutes, the rules of this Subchapter, and the following conditions:
(1) A site shall accept only waste generated by a disaster event for storage, segregation, processing, and reduction. A site shall not be used for solid waste management at any time other than following a disaster event. For the purposes of this Rule, "disaster event" means one of the following:
(A) a natural or man-made event that causes a declaration of a state of emergency or disaster in accordance with Chapter 166A, Article 1A, Part 4 of the General Statutes; or (B) a hurricane, tornado, severe storm, ice storm, or a 100-year flood event. (2) The landowner or operator of the site shall submit notification of the proposed site to the Division on a site evaluation form, which may be found on the Division's website at
https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-management/waste-management-permit-guidance/solid-waste-section/disaster-debris, that shall include the following: (A) site name, address, city, county, parcel identification number, and latitude and longitude in decimal degrees, driving directions to the site, and acreage of the site;

19. The TDSR DS68-002 will need to be closed or relocated as phase 2 and phase 3 of the C&D landfill progress. DS68-001 is also located at this facility east of the closed landfill. 20.
