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. The facility is fenced and is secured by a locking gate when it is not open for operations.
2. The correct signage is located at the entrance of the facility.
3. Operating hours are 7:OOAM to 5:OOPM, Monday through Friday and 7:OOAM to 12:OOPM, Saturday.
4. The facility is permitted to store up to 2,000 tons of treated wood on -site at any one time based on a demonstrated
financial responsibility of $200,000.
5. During this inspection, several pieces of lauan plywood were identified within the clean wood pile. The facility is
allowed to accept wastes in accordance with the approve permit and operations plans. Any unacceptable waste
should be removed and properly disposed of, as it is observed.
6. No vectors were observed during the inspection.
7. Sedimentation and erosion control measures should be constructed in accordance with the approved plan for this
facility. During this inspection, Ryan stated that he had a contractor who would be installing a sediment basin along
the southern edge of the operations area. I told Ryan that the installation of a sediment basin must be in accordance
with approved erosion and sedimentation control plans.
8. Areas where operations are not occurring have been stabilized by proper grading, seeding, and mulching.
9. Several areas of standing water were observed during this inspection. The site had received over an inch of rain the
day prior to the inspection. Some dirt had been added to one of the areas to repair the low area. Ensure that the low
areas have been repaired and that the area has been graded to shed water from the operations area.
10. Grinding was not taking place at the facility during this inspection. Operators were sorting the wood waste into the
appropriate stockpiles.
11. The biochar piles had been moved to a flat area in the western portion of the operations area. Ensure that the biochar
does not erode and leave the operations.
12. Digital photographs were taken during the inspection.
