A. 15A NCAC 13B .1406(19)(a) states: "Facilities permitted as Large Type 1, Large Type 2, all Type 3, and all Type 4
shall have an operator, supervisor, or manager trained in accordance with the requirements in G.S. 130A-309.25. No

Certification Commission or equivalent shall be considered as having met the training requirements in G.S.
130A-309.25 for the permitted facility. "
Wallace Farm Inc. is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .1406(19)(a) in that the Davie County Compost Facility
does not have a trained operator, supervisor, or manager on site during the facility operating hours or
available at a phone number provided in the facility permit that meets the requirements of 15A NCAC 13B
.1406(19)(a).
The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance
with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an
administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit,
or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to
enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

2. The facility actively maintains internal access roads due to recent and ongoing precipitation.
3. It appears windrows were being maintained at/near the approved size as stated in the approved operations plan. Mr.

prevent odors.
4. During the inspection, facility staff were moving compost to the screener in preparation for bagging.
5. No objectionable odors were detected at the facility or off -site.

staff were advised to close the earthen berm and continue to pump out the basin to prevent a leachate release. Mr.
Carter provided photograph documentation the opening in the earthen berm has been closed.
