Slopes shall not exceed a ratio of three horizontal to one vertical at any time." As previously identified in the September 2020 and June 2021 inspection reports, the side slopes of the working face were observed to be mainly vertical and uncovered during the inspection. The side slopes need to be properly graded and waste covered with soil. The side slope of the excavation along the southwestern side of the LCID was identified to be nearly vertical. The excavation side slopes also need to be graded to a three horizontal to one vertical ratio. The waste must be properly compacted, covered with a minimum of 12-inches of soil and sloped, not to exceed a three horizontal to one vertical ratio. 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.
