SUBJECT: Transfer Station Assessment Report, Revised Operating Plan, Closure Plan, and
Closure Cost Estimates
Wilson Transfer Station, Waste Industries/GFL, Permit 9806T-TRANSFER-1997
Dear Mr. Lee,
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 June 18, 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.
This facility is currently inactive, but the permit is active, and the site is subject to current
rules. In summary, the report concluded that the structural facilities are in generally good
condition, but that the tipping floor and the outside concrete pad should be monitored for
cracks and the push wall monitored for wear.
Also, prior to the site becoming operational again, a confined space sign should be installed
for the sewer lift station, and floor drains should be cleaned and tested to confirm proper
operation.
Based upon our review, the Section generally agrees with the report as submitted.
