4. Roads were of all-weather construction and were being maintained to be accessible by loaded collection
vehicles.
5. The trench drain at the entrance to the tipping floor appeared to be clear and functioning properly.
6. One tire was observed in a recently dumped load. Facility staff also saw the tire, removed it from the waste and
set it to the side of the tipping floor.
7. Spalling was observed on the tipping floor and aggregate is visible. Continue to monitor the floor and if any
rebar becomes exposed, a repair plan will be necessary.
8. A small section of rebar was exposed on the east push wall where the concrete has worn away due to trailer
loading activities. Concrete has also been worn away on the west push wall, but no rebar is exposed on that
side. Continue to monitor the push walls and make repairs as necessary.
9. Pressure washing of the interior of the transfer building was conducted between April 20-25, 2022.
10. Windblown litter was minimal and well managed at the time of inspection.
11. Minimal waste was observed on the loading bay floor and the area is cleaned daily as required by 15A NCAC

the event of a fire.
13. All trailers on site appeared to be leak resistant as required by 15A NCAC 13B .0105(c).
