B. Resolved: 15A NCAC 13B .0405(a)(10) states, in part, “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.” During the inspection windblown waste appeared to be well managed throughout the facility. During the previous
inspection Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC was found to be violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0405(a)(10) for failing to pick up and containerize windblown litter from the operation site. C. RESOLVED: 15A NCAC 13B .0203(d) states, “By receiving solid waste at a permitted facility, the permittee shall be considered to have accepted the conditions of the permit and shall comply with the conditions of the permit.” Permit to Operate No. 3416T-TRANSFER-, ATTACHMENT 3, PART VI, Transfer Station/Treatment and Processing Unit Condition #7(b) states in part “waste must only be deposited on a “tipping floor” or directly into a transfer container.” During the previous inspection on December 21, 2022, waste was observed deposited outside the loading bay area. During the inspection waste was observed only deposited on the tipping floor and directly into transfer
trailers for transport, with no waste observed deposited outside the facility.
OBSERVED VIOLATIONS:
None.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The purpose of this inspection was to follow up on existing violations noted from the previous inspection. (See Status of Past Noted Violations section of this report for additional information.) 2. The facility loading bay was observed to be clean and in a sanitary condition. 3. The loading bay wall panel installation had been completed and the walls were in good condition with no damage to allow waste to escape the loading bay area.
4. The site was in good condition with little windblown waste observed. Mr. Bizzell stated that sweeping equipment had been brought in to help manage the wind-blown material. 5. Proper signage was observed on site.
6. Facility roadways are of all-weather construction. Damaged roadway areas had been filled with stone for a temporary solution. Catherine Hernandez stated that the repaving project for the facility was still scheduled for 2023.
7. The site is secured by a perimeter fence with locking gates to control site access. The main gate is still damaged, and Catherine Hernandez stated that the facility parks a transfer trailer at the entrance to prevent site access while the gate is waiting to be repaired. 8.
