FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 7 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. David Powell, with the Section, visited the Yard Waste Notification (YWN) for a comprehensive inspection. Section staff contacted NCDOT Josh Brooks beforehand to have the gate open. Road access was good. 2. Reminder: A Yard Waste Notification is a Small Type 1 facility. It shall have an operations area less than two acres in size and shall be limited to no more than 6,000 cubic yards’ material onsite at any given time, including finished product. Rules were readopted in late 2019 (15A NCAC 13B .1400’s rules for Small Type 1 Compost facilities (Yard Waste Notifications). A review of the new rule changes would be good for any staff dealing with the YWN. Yard waste cannot remain in the notification for disposal. If not using for approved processes, then must remove to a disposal site for that waste type. A YWN is for staging, processing and composting. Facility cannot give waste out to public without meeting requirements of 15A NCAC 13B .1406 rules. Renewal shall be submitted by June 1st of each year. 3. There were workers onsite during inspection spreading out mulch across notification. Upon speaking with Josh Brooks, he explained the stockpile of soil would be mixed with the waste onsite, to make more of an enriched soil amendment that would then be ready for use on sides of roads in flower beds. Renewal submitted in 2023 states waste will be stockpiled until enough to get a tub grinder, its ground into mulch, then passively composted and then used for flower beds. The renewal also estimates 600 cubic yards will be received and removed. This renewal should reflect the actual quantity onsite and more accurately what process is occurring onsite. The operation meets the rules but should be better explained on the renewal. All waste should be kept inside the 2-acre footprint. YWN on right, stockpiled soil on left waiting to be mixed after mulch/compost spread out.

Good job. 5. There was some older waste partially covered with soil discovered onsite after recent earth works made it possible to see the items. Some concrete, plastic, tires etc. were visible sticking out of the side of the hill. Waste cannot be buried at this location. Upon speaking with Mr. Brooks, he stated he would have the waste removed to the appropriate landfill within the next couple weeks with confirmation sent to David Powell. All buried wastes should be removed to landfill approved for that waste type. Just as a reminder, the 75% rule, § 130A-309.05. Regulated wastes; certain exclusions, for the concrete waste onsite. Basically says, 75% of what’s taken in should be gone within a calendar year for recyclable materials such as asphalt, concrete etc. Concrete on opposite end of parcel with YWN.

FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 7 of 7 6. Corrective measures are necessary as a result of this inspection. Waste removal documentation should be sent to Solid Waste Section Staff David Powell within 30 days’ receipt of this inspection report. All waste should go to landfill approved for that waste type and metal can be recycled. Failure to meet the conditions for compliance may result in further Compliance Actions. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report. ________________________________________ Phone: 910 – 433 - 3350 _ David Powell Environmental Senior Specialist Regional Representative Sent on: 5/5/2023 X Email Hand delivery US Mail Certified Mail Copies: Drew Hammonds, Eastern District Supervisor – Solid Waste Section
