ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. Section staff David Powell onsite to do a partial inspection and visit the yard waste area for a follow up. Transfer Station LOS Permit has a yard waste section, while that area is mostly addressed through its yard waste notification YWN-77-001. Yard waste area will be addressed in the YWN inspection report for YWN-77-001. Ash from YWN area fire in 2022 was taken through Transfer Station to Uwharrie Environmental and
documentation provided on 9/23/2022. 2. The facility is permitted to receive solid waste generated within Richmond County. Waste is transferred to
Uwharrie Environmental Regional MSW Landfill for disposal. Site has fence and gate with correct and updated signage. Roads were of all weather construction and good condition.
3. Tipping floor was in good condition, as well as the walls. No unapproved waste was visible, good job.

4. Area around truck bay is cleaned regularly it seems but small waste is being left behind. This is also the leachate collection tank area. Stay proactive with this area. Netting is assisting in containing this waste to
smaller area.

5. Between Transfer Station and main office, there is a convenience site which has tire collection containers, cardboard collection and white goods/electronics pick up. Scrap tires removed approximately every three to four days. Electronics should have some cover over them so that rainwater doesn’t comingle with the waste that can become leachate. White goods are being kept upright until CFCs have been removed. Used motor is also collected here.
6. A new Temporary Disaster Debris Site (TDDS) site was close to being finalized last year. Mr. Leggett is still awaiting the Sections requested documents for crossing over the railroad structure/gas line and property during the event of an emergency and the site becomes activated to receive waste. Please continue to follow up and
get the requested information and submit ASAP. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
