ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. All photos were taken by Lee Hill on October 20, 2021.
2. The facility is open Monday through Saturday, 8:00am to 4:00pm.
3. The required signage was observed at the entrance of the facility and the scale house. Additional directional
and informational signage is posted throughout the facility to aid customers.
4. The facility is secured by gates at both entrances and a portion of the facility is fenced to prevent unauthorized
access. In areas where fencing has not been installed, topography serves to limit access as well.
5. The facility is currently constructing a new scale house to the southwest of the current building. This capital
improvements project also includes a new traffic pattern to reduce congestion at the scales.
Records Review
6. Tonnage records were reviewed from the FY2020-2021 Facility Annual Report. The facility disposed
30,226.69 tons of waste from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
7. North Carolina Certified Landfill Managers:
• Dwayne Smith (expires November 8, 2023)
• Kenn Webb (continuing education credits were submitted to Labella Associates for renewal)
8. North Carolina Certified Landfill Operators:
• Eric Newman (expires February 19, 2022)
• Kevin Green (expires April 19, 2024)
9. North Carolina Certified Landfill Operators Training was conducted by Labella Associates at the facility on
July 7, 2021 and the following individuals attended:
• Dwayne Smith
• Kenn Webb
• Dwayne Shipman
10. Landfill gas monitoring data was provided by email for review. Records indicate that sampling was conducted
on October 20, 2020, January 4, 2021, April 21, 2021 and July 22, 2021, as required and no exceedances were
reported.
11. Waste screening forms from January 5, 2021 to October 8, 2021 were available for review. The forms showed
the final disposition of unacceptable waste that was encountered. The facility is meeting the one vehicle per
week requirement as stated in the approved operations plan. However, additional waste screenings need
to be performed to ensure that the facility is meeting the one percent by weight of the waste stream that is
also outlined in Section 4.2 of the approved operations plan.
Operations Inspection of the MSWLF Unit (8807-MSWLF-I990)
12. The facility is currently filling in Phase 5.
13. The access roads were constructed of all-weather material and were being maintained.
14. A small amount of windblown material was observed in the unused portion of Phase 5. Facility staff were
actively picking up windblown material at the time of inspection. As stated in 15A NCAC 13B .1626 11(c): "At
the conclusion of each day of operation, all windblown material resulting from the operation shall be collected
and returned to the area by the owner or operator." Collect and return all windblown material at the end of
each working day.
15. Some waste was observed on the western side of the working face. Staff stated that it was from the removal of
the tarp from the working face. Facility staff sent photographs at the end of the day showing the material was
removed.
16. The working face was of manageable size, compact and no banned waste was observed.
17. Litter was observed in the operational area around the landfill lift which appeared to have been tracked by
equipment. Facility staff sent photos at the end of the working day showing that additional soil was added. It is
recommended to minimize equipment traffic on areas of the cell that are not actively having waste placed
on them.
18. Slope drains have been installed on the slopes of Phase 1 and Phase 4 to control storm water runoff. Slopes have
been stabilized and no evidence of erosion was noted.
