Dear Ms. Hill,
The State of North Carolina, Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section (Section)
has completed the review of the Transfer Station Assessment Report (report) for the above
referenced facility. The Report was submitted on May 5, 2021, in accordance with 15A
North Carolina Administrative Code 13B .0401(b).
The intent of the report was to self -assess and demonstrate compliance with the rules in
15A NCAC 13B .0400, readopted effective January 1, 2021, with a primary focus of vital
infrastructure at the facility as part of transitioning under the new rules and other life of site
permit requirements.
In summary, the report concluded that the facility is in good condition and well maintained.
Based upon our review, the Section generally agrees with the report as submitted.
Per the report recommendations, please submit a revised Operations Plan, Closure Plan,
and closure cost estimates to include all information now required by 15A NCAC
13B .0404, .0405 and .0406. These plans and cost estimates should be submitted to the
Section within 90 days of receipt of this letter.
The Section has established an electronic form for the submittal of Transfer Station closure
cost estimates and requests you submit the cost estimates in this manner using the
