ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. David Powell onsite to check facility for preparedness for operating. Site has a Permit to Operate but has not cleaned up previous waste onsite and site is overgrown. Mr. Powell printed off copies of the Transfer Station rules and the site Permit to Operate and gave it to Mr. Presler to share with landowner and Operation Manger. 2. Mr. Powell arrived to locked gate and called contact number on sign at entrance. The number called onsite representative and security guard Carl Presler. Mr. Presler allowed Mr. Powell to ride into site and look at condition of facility and take photos. 3. Site is overgrown and not in operation and appears not ready for operation at this time. There is still a large stockpile of concrete waste in rear that has become overgrown and hard to see. There are some stockpiles of C
and D treated dimensional lumber. There is damaged trailers, tires, random equipment, barrels and trash scattered about the property. Derelict equipment is present around the property and misc. items as well.

4. Mr. Presler then contacted sites Operation manager George Culbreth, who arrived shortly after Mr. Powell’s arrival to discuss site, cleanup, and future plans. Mr. Culbreth indicated that the landowner had informed him they had a contractor was coming in the next 3 months to look at crushing and buying the concrete comingled waste in the large stockpile in rear of the property. Mr. Powell explained the site must meet pre-operation conditions outlined in the rule/permit for this site and have a pre-operation inspection before any waste could be received at the facility. The C and D Concrete waste in rear of the property in a stockpile must
be removed as waste and cannot be crushed and recycled any longer. The time frame available for such material has long passed. See rule reference below. Mr. Powell called Mr. Culbreth and explained on 3/3/2023 that the waste must be removed to landfill for that waste type. The concrete up front, next to adjacent property is newer and can be crushed and recycled. Any wood mulch or composted waste also needs removal to landfill for that waste type. All waste disposal documentation should be submitted to myself. Mr. Culbreth has some weight tickets from previous waste disposal he is willing to provide and has made arrangements with Mr. Powell at this time to allow them to be scanned into record. Permit Attachment 3, Part VI, 27 - Prior to initial operation of the facility, the applicant must contact their designated Section’s environmental specialist and permitting engineer to schedule a pre-operation meeting. General Statute § 130A-309.05. Regulated wastes; certain exclusions. (c) - Recovered material is not subject to regulation as solid waste under this Article.

Materials that are accumulated speculatively, as that term is defined under 40 Code of Federal Regulations § 261 (July 1, 2014 Edition), shall not qualify as a recovered material, and shall be subject to regulation as solid waste.
