covered and sloped. Ms. Thompson stated to Mr. Pernell that he would need to work on covering and sloping the
waste in the northwestern portion. Mr. Morris stated that NCDOT, when time permits, may be able to help

PARTIALLY RESOLVED: The waste in the southwestern portion of the site had been covered and sloped. The
waste in the northwestern portion of the site had not been covered or sloped. Continue to cover and slope the
waste. Ensure that the waste is covered monthly, or when the working face reaches one acre in size,
whichever occurs first.
The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance
with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an
administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit,
or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to
enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any

3. During an inspection at another facility, Ms. Becky Turner, Interim Public Works Director, stated that an engineer
would be inspecting the site to determine the steps needed to obtain a full permit.
4. One of the large mounds of soil had been removed from the site by NCDOT. The remaining mound of soil was
left at the site to be utilized as cover material. The previously identified unacceptable wastes had been removed
from the soil piles.
5. 15A NCAC 13B .0201 (g), "Disposal area boundaries for landfills permitted in accordance with Section
.0500 or .1600 of this Subchapter shall be delineated with stationary markers affixed to the ground. The
markers shall be of height and spacing so that they are distinguishable from the surrounding landscape,
and so that the adjacent markers are visible when standing at a marker." Edge of waste markers were not
observed at the facility. Permanent, clearly visible edge of waste markers must be established at the site,
showing the under two -acre disposal boundary.
6. The LCID had been graded and no areas of standing water were observed.
7. The LCID had been mowed since the last inspection. Good Job!
6601-MSWLF-1982
8. A convenience site is located at the closed MSWLF and is used for tires, used pesticide containers, white goods and
C&D waste. During an inspection at another facility, Ms. Turner stated that the scale house was in need of
replacement. It is recommended that a scale house of adequate size for staff and file storage be constructed at the
facility.
9. Numerous electronic goods were being stored on the ground, outside of the maintenance building. Several of the
televisions were lying face down on the gravel. Several pallets of electronic goods stored were within the
maintenance building. The electronic goods should be stored upright to prevent glass breakage and under
cover to protect the recycling value.
10. White goods are stored upright on the concrete pad. Metal recyclables were stored on the concrete pad, adjacent to
the white goods, and is of manageable size. Ensure that all metal recyclables and white goods are stored on the
concrete pad and recycled in a timely manner.
11. The shingle recycling area was clean. The shingles are picked up by a recycler on an as needed basis.
12. Open roll -off containers of C&D waste are located to the east of the concrete pad. Mr. Pernell stated that GFL
Environmental picks up the containers of C&D waste as needed. Ensure that the C&D containers are removed
from the facility in a timely manner, so that no leachate is generated and leaking from the containers.
13. The pesticide containers to be recycled are being stored within an enclosed trailer.

the trailer.
