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 continued to make considerable progress and requested 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.
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. A map should be provided as well to the Section. 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.
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 in NE corner. 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.

4. There is an area on NE corner in which has exposed waste needing of removal from buffer area or to be addressed with moving of the property line to meet buffer. Also, all waste should be brought back inside of 2-acre area, EOW marker in place and sloped and covered appropriately.

NE corner with some waste buried outside of buffer marked area. Cover also needed on slope.
5. The large amount of concrete has now been removed, processed and disposed partly in the LCID. The area has been graded, seeded and erosion control measures put in place. Good job.

Concrete storage area fixed, with traffic control for LCID.

6. The additional trees/shrubs have been removed along entrance road as requested. Good job.
Entrance road on SE corner, south slope. 7. 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. 8. 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. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
