We discussed the previous comments you had sent concerning the cap and post -closure care issues. Paul indicated that there were some additional comments you might have concerning requirements that should be included in the workplan for DuPont to follow during the "operational' portion of the project (i.e. working face restrictions, daily/weekly cover, etc.). Paul suggested I contact you and get any additional comments you might have concerning the proposed CAMU. I will try to call you sometime tomorrow so we can discuss if you are available. Or, if you already know what comments you would have, you could email them to me.

All Photographs were taken by Troy Harrison on June 2, 2010. 2. The permitted solid waste facility consists' of two units called the North Landfill and East Landfill on property formerly used as an industrial facility. DuPont is the owner of the property. All industrial buildings have been demolished. 3. The North Landfill ceased received waste on August 26, 1993. The East Landfill ceased received waste on December 11, 1996. The Closure Plan was submitted on June 28, 1996. The Closure Letter was issued on May 21, 2001. 4. A Memorandum from Ms. Elizabeth Cannon, Hazardous Waste Section Chief to Mr. Jim Coffey, Solid Waste Section Chief on June 30, 2004 stated that regulatory oversight of contamination at the closed solid waste landfills at this facility would be the responsibility of the Hazardous Waste Section. The Memorandum also recognized that the Solid Waste Section may have physical inspection responsibilities remaining. The company is in the process of an application for a Corrective Action Management Unit (CAMU) with the Hazardous Waste Branch. According to the application waste from the East Landfill will be removed and recycled. Waste from several solid waste management units (SWMU) are to be placed in the displaced area of the East Landfill. 15A NCAC 13B .0510 (d) requires a new permit for any future disposal. North Landfill (SWMU-12) 6. The North Landfill was observed. This landfill consists of two distinct cells (demolition and asbestos) separated by a small wooded area. The edge of waste was not marked in either cell. The edge of waste must be permanently marked. The cap of this landfill has not been maintained and several pine saplings were observed growing in an area that appeared over waste. The cap of the landfill must be maintained as required by 15A NCAC 1313 .0510(c). Post Closure Condition 4 states: "The integrity and effectiveness of the final cover system and any permanent erosion devices must be maintained. This could include making repairs to the cover as necessary to correct the effects of settlement, FACILITY COMPLL4,NCE AUDIT ;PORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 3 of 3 subsidence, erosion, or other events. The Hazardous Waste Section has taken over regulatory oversight of the landfill and all future activity must be coordinated with them. Entrance to Asbestos Unit Sign near entrance to Asbestos Unit Cap of Demolition Unit East Landfill (SWMU-11) 7. The East Landfill was observed. This unit last received industrial waste on March 29, 1996 according to the Closure Plan, dated June 28, 1996. The top of the landfill and the northwestern side slope were being maintained. The remaining side slopes of the landfill had years of tree growth. Waste was observed at the surface on the landfill side slopes in several areas. The Solid Waste Section understands that there is a long term plan to recap and shape the East Landfill; however, an interim plan would be needed for removing trees, reshaping the slope and covering waste. The Hazardous Waste Section has taken over regulatory oversight of the landfill and all future activity must be coordinated with them.

The edge of waste was not permanently marked. This must be done to accurately determine compliance with buffer requirements. 9. As part of future ongoing activities at the East Landfill, waste material that has been placed is to be removed for recycling. In addition, several test pits were dug into the landfill and filled back in. In the CAMU application, it is proposed that waste materials from other SWMUs are to be consolidated into this landfill. North and East Landfills 10. Based on document review and on -site discussions, it appears that no landfill gas monitoring was conducted at this facility following closure of both landfills. The Hazardous Waste Section has taken over regulatory oversight of the landfill and all future activity must be coordinated with them. Post Closure Condition 1 "Management of Landfill Gas" states: "the owner and/or operator shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the closed site shall continue to meet the design standards for landfill gas found in Rule .0503(2)(a). " Rule .0503(2)(a) states: "The concentration of explosive gases generated by the site shall not exceed: (i) twenty-five percent of the limit for the gases in site structures (excluding gas control or recovery system components); and FACILITY COMPLIANCE AUDI7 ,PORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 5 of 5 (ii) the lower explosive limitfor the gases at the property boundary" 11. DuPont has conducted surface and groundwater monitoring. These reports are reviewed by the Hazardous Waste Section. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this audit report. *7/13/10 Note: This audit report was not sent to the facility and serves to record the Solid Waste Section inspection of the site on June 2, 2010.
