ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. David Powell met with Moore County staff to conduct a comprehensive inspection. Inspection was also for Section Staff to meet new faces that are involved with landfill at Moore County, now that Mr. David Lambert is no longer Solid Waste Director. In addition, Interim Director Philip Boles is soon leaving for retirement again and Mr. Jimmy
Brown about to retire, with potential of returning part time. 2. Facility roads were in good condition. Station is inside County facility behind gate and fence. A convivence site and scale house with signage at entrance and additional signage leading to Station. Construction over summer in July included some tin siding being replaced, new concrete floor, push wall repair and edge of loading bay from tipping floor being fixed. An area of eroded back fill was also repaired and seeded on left side of building. Some small cracks were visible in floor as well.

Previous damaged chute, edge of tipping floor.
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 such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.

4. Recyclables are maxing out this area of the station. The recyclable storage area was full, and some left on tipping
floor waiting for trailer.
5. Windblown was not an issue during inspection. It was also being picked up around the landfill property in other areas. However, trash was building up around the trailer loading bay and there was a small amount of windblown
waste in the leachate tank containment area. Leachate also standing in the loading bay, please address, this can cause odors and attract vectors. Be sure and keep these areas clean. Trailer storage is along entrance road and the area was clean. Sloping of the road gives an advantage to trailers leaving with a down slop as you leave
the station. 15A NCAC 13B .0405 (a)(10) - Windblown waste: Site staff shall conduct daily inspections for windblown waste on the site property. Windblown litter from site operations discovered during the daily inspections or observed on adjacent properties shall be picked up and containerized for disposal by the end of each operating day, unless the landowner of the adjacent property denies access to site staff. The site shall prevent waste from being blown outside the waste handling areas by the wind, using methods such as: (A) requiring that vehicles entering and leaving the site keep waste covered; (B) providing skirts, such as rubber belting or brushes, around the top of chutes to minimize the space between the chute and the hauling trailer at sites with chutes and hoppers; or (C) preventing waste from leaving the site using methods such as fencing, netting, or diking.
