ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Photos included in this report were taken by Robert Pike during the inspection on December 15, 2022. 2. The facility is permitted to receive and process land clearing waste, concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soil, gravel and rock, untreated and unpainted wood and wood pallets.
3. The facility was not operating during this inspection. The facility does not maintain standard operating hours, and instead receives waste and dispenses product by appointment only. Mr. Slater stated that he had stopped accepting waste except for previous arrangements. 4. The facility produces firewood, chipped wood for boiler fuel, mulch and crushed concrete and asphalt. 5. The facility’s Permit to Operate, approved Operations Plan, and site drawings are maintained onsite and were available for review. 6. Mr. Slater stated that operations continue to be sporadic and limited, based on his need to provide support for his mother due to her medical issues. 7. A review of the 2021-22 Facility Annual Report indicated that the facility had accepted 30 tons of material (20
tons of concrete, asphalt, brick and 10 tons of wood waste).

Treatment and Processing Operations:

8. The site was wet due to continuous rain events that had been occurring over the past few weeks.
9. The operations area is designed to direct stormwater runoff to a pond on the eastern side of the facility and to the center of the operations area. Mr. Slater stated that the storm water that is directed to the center is then pumped to the pond. Stormwater control devices appeared to be functioning properly, and stormwater was
observed to be flowing through the drainage swale that carries surface water from the north side of the operations area around to the east toward the pond. 10. Facility access roadways are of all-weather construction. During the inspection some roadways were blocked
off due to the wet conditions. 11. Proper signage was observed at the entrance to the facility. 12. The facility is protected by perimeter fencing, berms, and cement barricades, and is secured by means of a gate which is kept locked when the facility is not in operation. 13. Required buffers are maintained using berms and concrete block walls placed at the setback along the north and south property lines of the facility. Mr. Slater stated that he had completed the work to remove all waste located within the 100’ buffer from the property line. 14. Dust is controlled using water hoses. Water is available at several points around the site so that roadways and operational areas can be sprayed down when necessary. 15. Three large metal buildings are located along the western side of the facility. These buildings are used to store facility equipment and cut lumber. Facility records are also stored inside the buildings. 16. A concrete bunker is located next to the buildings and is used for storage of wood waste. At the time of the inspection a small amount of wood waste was stockpiled in the bunker. Mr. Slater stated that this wood waste would be processed and removed within 30 days.
17. Mr. Slater stated that the facility has accepted 30 tons of waste this year and has processed and removed a total of 122 tons of concrete and wood waste. 18. Waste stockpiles are well managed with wide access roads allowing adequate space for facility equipment to
reach all areas of the site. 19. No unacceptable material was observed during the inspection. 20. As mentioned in the prior two inspection reports, 75% of the waste by weight or volume on site as of January 1
of each year needs to be processed and removed by December 31 of the same year. During the inspection it appeared that more than 75% of waste had not been removed from the site since the last inspection in December 2021. Going forward, to demonstrate compliance with North Carolina General Statues 130A-309.05(c)(1) and the Permit to Operate, Attachment 3, Part IV, general operating condition 6, Slater Industries will need to complete an inventory by weight or volume of the waste on site as of January 1, 2023. The inventory should be submitted to the Solid Waste Section by emailing to [e-mail] by January 31, 2023. The facility
