ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. A routine inspection was conducted today by Mr. David Powell. Mr. Powell spoke with Mr. Dawson prior to day of inspection and emailed him a copy of the newest rules, on 3/7/2023, along with the October 6, 2021, letter from Section Chief Ed Mussler, regarding closure notification of all Notified Land Clearing and Inert Debris landfills by January 1, 2026. Mr. Dawson has not accepted waste for some time at this NLCID. Mr. Dawson discussed wanting to begin excavating and screening waste to remove soil. This is not permitted for this facility currently, do not excavate or screen waste until get approval from Section. Mr. Dawson inquired about how to permit excavating and mining the NLCID as well as permitting a LCID. Mr. Powell started an email conversation between Section Permitting and Mr. Dawson.

Be sure sign meets new rules. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (14) A sign shall be posted at the site entrance showing the site contact's name and phone number, the permit number, emergency contact information, and the waste types accepted for disposal at the site. 3.

Southeast side slope needs better cover.
6. Concrete, asphalt and sand are stored onsite. Concrete is crushed often and sold for road base. What concrete was onsite was clean. Metal was being removed and put into a roll off for scrap. However, there are some areas of older concrete onsite, in which vegetation is beginning to grow. All concrete accepted should have 75% crushed and utilized within that calendar year of its acceptance. Older waste needs to be crushed and utilized or hauled to a disposal site for that waste type. Or perhaps not accepting so much concrete waste, as to be able to crush and keep up with the rule requirement. Rule for reference is below.
General Statue § 130A-309.05. Regulated wastes; certain exclusions - (c) Recovered material is not subject to regulation as solid waste under this Article. In order for a material that would otherwise be regulated as solid waste to qualify as a recovered material, the Department may require any person who owns or has control over the material to demonstrate that the material meets the requirements of this subsection. In order to protect public health and the environment, the Commission may adopt rules to implement this subsection. 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. In order to qualify as a recovered material, the material shall be managed as a valuable commodity in a manner consistent with the desired use or end use, and all of the following conditions shall be met: (1) Seventy-five percent (75%), by weight or volume, of the recovered material stored at a facility at the beginning of a calendar year commencing January 1, shall be removed from the facility through sale, use, or reuse by December 31 of the same year.
