Dear Mr. Hicks:
On April 4, 2022, Kim Sue, Environmental Senior Specialist, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of
Waste Management Solid Waste Section (Section), inspected the above referenced facility for compliance with
North Carolina solid waste statutes and rules. The following violations were noted:
A. 15A NCAC 13B .0566(3) states "All waste shall be covered with no less than six inches of soil
monthly, or when the working face reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first. Any soils used
for cover at the site shall meet unrestricted use standards for soils as defined in G.S. 130A-310.65".
During the inspection uncovered waste was observed over the entire working face. Exposed waste
was also observed on the south facing slope. This same condition was also observed during the
previous inspection conducted on 4/18/2019. There has been no apparent attempt to cover waste
since the last inspection.
B. 15A NCAC 13B .0566(2) states "Solid waste in the landfill shall be compacted. Slopes shall not
exceed a ratio of three horizontal to one vertical at anytime".
During the inspection, waste on the side slopes of the landfill had not been compacted. Slopes
were observed steeper than 3:1.
Based upon the foregoing, William Landworks, Inc. shall come into compliance by July 15, 2022 with all
requirements of the regulations in 15A NCAC 13B by completing the following at the William Landworks, Inc.:
1) Remove all unacceptable solid waste from the site, including any that may be buried, and properly
dispose of it in a facility permitted by the Division of Waste Management. Proof of disposal must
be submitted to the Solid Waste Section in the form of disposal receipts indicating the facility where
the waste was disposed. Receipts for disposal of all the waste should be sent to:

2) Compact, cover and grade all slopes to no less than 3:1 ensuring that all waste is within a 2-acre
or less disposal area.
3) Once the above corrective actions have been achieved, initiation of the official closure of the landfill
in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0567 must occur as follows:
(1)(A). The disposal area must be covered with no less than one foot of soil cover sloped to
direct the flow of surface water from the landfill.
(1)(B). Soil cover must be stabilized with vegetative ground cover or other stabilizing material.
(2) The owner or operator of a site shall complete the closure activities within 120 days after
beginning the closure activities as specified in Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph.
Within 30 days of completion of closure of the site, the owner or operator shall submit to the
Division a certification verifying that closure has been completed in accordance with this Rule.
4) If closure of the facility is not initiated a permit application to the Solid Waste Section must be
submitted. For questions regarding permitting, you may contact Jordan Russ at [phone].
The violations 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. 13OA-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 13OA 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.
Please keep me informed of your progress in this matter. Solid Waste Section staff will conduct a follow-up
inspection to verify that the operator has completed the requirements of this Notice of Violation.
