ADDITIONAL COMMENTS On July 1, 2022, Chuck Kirchner met with Seth Heath to conduct a follow-up compliance inspection on the reclamation pad of the WI High Point Landfill, LLC - C&D Landfill and C&D Treatment and Processing Operation located on Riverdale Drive in Jamestown, Guilford County. 1. The facility is a construction and demolition debris (C&D) landfill with a C&D treatment and processing (T&P) operation. Only the T&P operation was observed today. 2. The C&D landfill was open and receiving material during this inspection. 3. A large amount of treated wood and painted brick and concrete that had been on the reclamation pad was removed in a very timely manner by facility staff. 4. All ground and unground treated wood, all painted brick and concrete, and any other non-recoverable wastes stockpiled at the reclamation pad have been disposed of in the C&DLF unit. 5. Mr. Heath provided waste manifests for materials removed from the reclamation pad and placed in the C&D landfill during this inspection. 2,012.10 tons of material with a disposal amount of $26,565.56 was removed from the reclamation pad and placed in the C&D landfill. 6.
