monthly, or when the working face reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first. Any soils used for cover at the
site shall meet unrestricted use standards for soils as defined in G.S. 130A-310.65. "

completely cover the waste to prevent the combustion of the wood waste. During this inspection most of the
landfill had been stabilized with mulch except for the small working face. Therefore, this violation is considered
resolved.

been obtained from the Division, the local government, and the Division of Air Quality in accordance with 15A NCAC
02D .1900 prior to any burning activity. "
During the inspection conducted on December 9, 2021, facility staff were actively applying soil to the northeast side
