FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT
Division of Waste Management
Solid Waste Section
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
such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Proper signage was observed at the entrance to the facility.
2. All access roads were in good operational condition.
3. No off -site odor was observed.
4. Mr. Gallins extended the length of the existing concrete pad, adding a 40'x60' section. Although this new space
is not covered, the additional area allows facility staff more room to process compost. Compost meeting PFRP
are moved to this area prior to being windrowed in the field.
5. The active compost under the pole shed was consistently covered with 4" to 6" thick layer of finished compost
and carbonaceous material reducing the attraction of vectors. No exposed composting food waste was visible.
6. Observed two windrows in the field that had met PFRP and were curing.
7. The screener and bagging machine have been moved into a building allowing facility staff to process material
during inclement weather.
