ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. Today’s visit, David Powell with the Section, met with Mr. Thomas Hudson Jr. and discussed the NLCID conditions and corrective actions. Mr. Thomas has made considerable progress and requested a meeting early for some technical assistance and an additional 30 days for completing corrective actions. Mr. Hudson and Mr.
Powell rode the limits of both properties, owned by Mr. Hudson and his brother Ronald Hudson, and walked some of the site.

Access road on SE side. Trees/shrubs need removal on this slope. Cover and sloping needed and EOW
markers.
2. Mr. Hudson has had a surveyor visit and mark the property with the NLICD, and the 100-foot buffers on the north, south and east sides. The western side borders a second property, in which Mr. Hudson is in the process of combining both properties to address the buffer issue. Be sure and record with County Register of Deeds that an NLCID is own this new combined property. Any waste buried outside 2-acre notification or inside the buffers should be pulled back inside the limits of the NLCID and site should meet rule.
15A NCAC 13B .0564 (6) - Buffer Requirements: A site shall maintain the following buffer requirements: (a) 50 feet from the waste boundary to waters of the State as defined in G.S. 143-212. (b) 100 feet from the waste boundary to property lines, residential dwellings, commercial or public buildings, and potable wells.

East slope, 100-foot buffer marked. Slope needs cover and additional sloping to 3:1. EOW markers needed.
3. The work done onsite has moved the waste outside the 100-foot buffer on the north, south and east sides mostly. Cover, compaction and sloping 3:1 work is still needed. This should all be within 2 acres for the 2-acre notification and be outside the buffers. Once buffers and property line issues have been addressed, Edge of Waste (EOW) markers should be installed. These should be visible from one to another and mark the edge of where waste is buried inside the 2-acre allowed notification, meeting buffers. Suggest tall, large white PVC pipe, but can use anything if its visible and easily seen from one to the other marking the appropriate edges of the notification. In addition to addressing EOW markers, slope and cover, the site should be sure to have enough cover and slope to restrain erosion and maintain that cover. The working face needs appropriate cover every 30 days or when work face waste reaches one acre, whichever occurs first.
15A NCAC 13B .0566 (2) - Solid waste in the landfill shall be compacted. Slopes shall not exceed a ratio of three horizontal to one vertical at any time. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (5) - erosion control measures, structures, or devices shall be utilized to prevent silt from leaving the site and to prevent on-site erosion and shall comply with 15A NCAC 04.

!00 ft buffer marked on north side, EOW markers needed.
4. A large amount of concrete has been accepted in an area starting at western edge of NLCID and continues west onto the adjacent property, also owned by Mr. Hudson and his brother Ronald Hudson. This property is being combined with NLCID property, and the concrete waste is being put into the NLCID currently. Be sure only clean concrete is disposed into the NLCID. Mr. Hudson should process the reclaimed clean concrete, put it in the NLCID, or it should be taken to a Construction and Demolition Landfill within one year from today’s date or this site could be in violation. Keep documentation of any disposal other than your NLCID.

Concrete on second property, beyond NLCID property, with concrete waste being processed into NLCID. 5. If Mr. Hudson intends to permit site, he should prepare the site to meet new rules. A consultant/engineer can assist, and Section staff encouraged Mr. Hudson to search online or speak with other Solid Waste Facility
personnel to inquire as to whom may can assist in with the process. The immediate need is currently addressing the corrective actions onsite. However, Mr. Hudson goes about those actions, may assist him preparing the site for meeting new rules. 6. Some additional shrubs and trees are present along the south side slope and access roadway. These need removal and should be prevented in the future so the side slopes can be maintained properly. 7. Corrective measures are necessary as a result of this inspection and should be complete within 30 days’ receipt of this inspection report. A follow up is required to verify corrective actions and will be conducted shortly after the 30 days. Additional time for compliance is given since considerable progress toward corrective actions is being made and there is good communication between the owner and Mr. Powell.
