c. Inert Debris and Untreated Wood: concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soil, gravel and
rock, untreated and unpainted wood; and
d. Used Asphalt: used asphalt or asphalt mixed with dirt, sand, gravel, rock, and concrete.
4) The disposal area for this Facility may not exceed 2 acres in total size.
5) This Facility is monitored by a 24 hour security camera at the Facility entrance.
6) This Facility is secured by a locked gate at the Facility entrance and has controlled access for safety. The gate
was unlocked and open upon my arrival and an attendant was on site during this Facility Compliance
Inspection.
7) Proper signage is posted at the Facility entrance stating the Facility emergency contact number and the types of
waste accepted.
8) The access road to the Facility is being managed properly at this time.
9) Soil has been staged on-site in two areas adjacent to the landfill for use in cover and maintenance activities.
10) This Facility maintains a John Deere 200C tracked Excavator and a Hyundai HX 330L tracked excavator on
site for Facility operations and maintenance.

11) The Facility working face was reviewed. *Please ensure that all waste is compacted, covered, and graded
monthly or when the active working area reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first.
12) The waste type in the landfill was reviewed. Overall, the waste type being disposed was LCID, however,
some waste was observed to have been disposed at the site in brown paper yard waste type bags. These bags
are not approved for disposal at LCID Landfills. *Please ensure that all bagged waste is removed from the
bags and the bags are removed from the LCID Landfill for proper disposal at a Facility permitted to receive
such wastes. Moving forward, please ensure that all bags are removed from the site when the waste is brought
to the LCID Landfill.

13) Uncovered waste was observed on the southern, western, and northern outside slopes. These areas do not
appear to have been covered in the last thirty days. *Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance
Inspection Report, these areas need to be compacted, covered and graded at a slope not greater than 3:1 and
seeded and mulched to establish a groundcover suitable to prevent erosion of the landfill cap system. Moving
forward, the landfill should be constructed in a lift type progression. All waste should be covered monthly or
when the active working area reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first.
14) The landfill footprint appears to have reached the maximum allowable size of two acres. *Within thirty days of
receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection Report, the waste disposal boundary should be measured to
ensure the perimeter stakes are properly identifying the landfill footprint boundaries and all required buffers as
listed in 15A NCAC 13B .0564 (9) on your LCID notification form. Any waste found to have been placed
outside the maximum allowable two-acre footprint should be pulled back to within the proper disposal area.
15) The landfill disposal area appears to have encroached the required 100’ buffer from the property line along the
eastern side of the landfill. *Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection Report, please
measure the landfill disposal footprint and all required buffers. All waste found to be disposed within the
required buffer areas should be pulled back far enough to provide for the required buffer distance(s) from the
toe of the disposal area.
16) Vegetative disaster generated debris has been staged on site in an area to the north of the LCID Landfill. This
waste has been staged longer than the maximum six months allowed for the management of disaster generated
debris and should be moved into the active disposal area. *Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility
Compliance Inspection Report, plans need to be underway for moving all off-site generated vegetative
materials into the active LCID Landfill for disposal.
17) No off-site erosion was noted during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
18) *Please note that, as of 1 January 2021, all LCID Landfills must come into compliance with 15A NCAC 13B
.0563 (6) in that “Within five years of the readopted effective date of this Rule, the owner or operator of a
notified LCIDLF that was not closed prior to the readopted effective date of this Rule shall comply with the
FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT
Division of Waste Management

requirements of this Rule, or shall close the notified LCIDLF in accordance with Rule .0567(b) of this
Section, except that the required notification of closure is not required to be certified. For the purpose of this
Rule, "notified LCIDLF" means a site that was not required to obtain a permit from the Division prior to the
readopted effective date of this Rule because the site was designed and constructed to be two acres or less in
size, and was required to record a notification for the site with the Register of Deeds' office and submit the
notification to the Division.” A copy of these rules is attached at the end of this Facility Compliance
Inspection Report.
19) *Corrective actions are required as a result of this Facility Compliance Inspection.
