ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. David Powell with the Section inspected the Triple “A” Hauling Transfer Station to confirm last waste identified
in 3/25/2022 inspection was removed as required. Gate was open upon arrival and Mr. Powell contacted Kenny Hardin, owner, and informed of his presence and intent to inspect the station. Mr. Hardin gave permission to enter. Mr. Powell also spoke with Office employee “Kathy”. Mr. Powell discussed closing the station with Mr. Hardin and removing the final waste from the site. Mr. Powell asked Mr. Hardin if he had received the letter emailed to him on the day previous, 7/20/2022, and he indicated he had not yet. Ms. Sherri Stanley, Permitting Supervisor, had recently spoke with Mr. Hardin on closing the station and followed up with a letter from the Section, yesterday 7/20/2022, explaining “…in order to accept waste at the facility again, you would have to provide a permit application with construction, operation, and closure plans for any new operations that meet the requirements of the readopted 15A NCAC 13B .0400 rules – effectively applying for a new permit. Therefore, pursuant to North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0406, the Section has placed the AAA Hauling of NC, Inc. Transfer Station Permit, Permit no. 2613-TRANSFER-2010, in the Inactive/Closed status. A
new permit will be required to reestablish operations.” 2. This Transfer Station had not submitted the required Transfer Station Assessment Report in accordance with 15A
NCAC 13B .0401. Front signage is still removed. Transfer Station closure requirements are found in 15A NCAC 13B .0406. Some of the dates listed in this rule for closure, Mr. Hardin may already be beyond if the site was closed June 2021. Previously Mr. Ming Chao requested from Mr. Hardin on 3/31/2022 that he submit a closure report including cover page containing facility name, permit number, contact info including phone #, e-mail address, physical address; the date stop receiving wastes, and the date of cleanup the site. The last amount of waste is needed to be removed to appropriate disposal site and the requested document from Mr. Chao should be submitted as well within 30 days.
