PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT: Comprehensive Inspection
STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
A. Status: Corrective Measures In Progress: 15A NCAC 13B .0405(10) states: “Windblown waste: Site staff shall conduct
daily inspections for windblown waste on the site property. Windblown litter from site operations discovered during the daily inspections or observed on adjacent properties shall be picked up and containerized for disposal by the end of each
operating day, unless the landowner of the adjacent property denies access to site staff. The site shall prevent waste from
being blown outside the waste handling areas by the wind, using methods such as: (A) requiring that vehicles entering and leaving the site keep waste covered; (B) providing skirts, such as rubber belting or brushes, around the top of chutes to
minimize the space between the chute and the hauling trailer at sites with chutes and hoppers; or (C) preventing waste
from leaving the site using methods such as fencing, netting, or diking.”
Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0405(10) in that windblown litter resulting from site operations was observed on the site property. The windblown litter was not being picked up or properly disposed of
at the conclusion of each day of operation. Windblown litter had accumulated outside of fencing, in storm drains, and in and around the storm pond to the east of the facility.

Since the April 26, 2022 facility inspection, a significant amount of the windblown litter has been cleaned up and most of the curb inlets have hay bale inlet protection around them to keep any waste from being able to enter the storm drain. In addition,
Mr. Preston stated that Republic has begun a new service agreement for monthly maintenance for the cleaning and treatment of the pond. Republic also has quotes to repair and replace the fencing around the facility. Republic has purchased fence netting to be completed when the fence is repaired and it is currently onsite and ready to be installed.
When completed it will cover all fencing from the shop area all around the Transfer Station. Catch baskets have been replaced in 7 of the sewer drains. Republic is awaiting 6 more baskets which are on back order according to Mr. Preston.
Continue to pick up all windblown litter and contain for disposal in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0405(10).
