The access road to the facility is being managed properly at this time. 2. Permanent, clearly visible edge of waste markers must be established at the site, showing the less than two - acre operation area. Ensure that all materials are within the operation area. 3. 15A NCAC 13B .1406 (6), "A site shall only accept those solid wastes that it is permitted to receive." During this inspection, several pieces of unacceptable wastes (i.e. plastic bags, plastic bottles, plastic plant pots) were observed within the limb pile and the leaf pile. The unacceptable wastes need to be removed from the facility and properly disposed of. 4. Tree limbs and branches are chipped on -site. Leaf material is ground by the leaf pickup machine. The chipped debris and ground leaves are stored in separate windrows to break down. The chipped debris and ground leaves are then mixed and used as mulch. In accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .1406 (10)(b), ensure that temperatures are being taken so that the ground yard waste meets the pathogen reduction criteria. During a conversation after the inspection with Lindberg Harlow, Weldon Public Works Supervisor, he stated that he does take temperatures, but he needs to be more consistent with the taking of the temperature. 5. The site should be mowed to allow for the proper inspection of the entire operational area. 6. A low area that was holding water was observed near the center of the southern side of the limb windrow. The entire yard waste area should be graded so that water is shed away from the windrows. 7. Corrective measures are necessary at this facility. Measures to bring the facility into compliance must be completed within 30 days of receipt of this report. The Solid Waste Section will conduct a follow-up inspection in 30 days to ensure issues noted in this inspection report have been addressed. 8. Digital photographs were taken during the inspection.
