During the inspection, disposal of Land Clearing Inert Debris (LCID) material from recent disposal activities was observed. The Permit Number 41-S to operate the D&D Grading, Inc. LCID Landfill expired on April 19, 2021. Therefore, D&D Grading, Inc. is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0201(c) for operating a LCID landfill without a
valid permit and for failing to apply to apply to renew the expired permit. To achieve compliance, submit a permit renewal application request and updated facility plans for the operation of the D&D Grading, Inc. LCID Landfill to the Section.

A permit renewal application request and updated facility plans were not submitted to the Section for permit review by October 15, 2020, therefore D&D Grading, Inc. is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0203(d).
