OBSERVED VIOLATIONS
A. 15A NCAC 13B .0534 (b)(2)(I), "Proper Operation and Maintenance. The permittee shall at all times operate
and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control and related appurtenances which are

installed or used by the permittee in compliance with the conditions of the permit. Proper operation and
maintenance includes effective performance, adequate funding, adequate operator staffing and training, and
adequate laboratory and process controls, including appropriate quality assurance procedures, in
accordance with the conditions of the permit. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary
facilities or similar systems only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit."
During this inspection, it came to my attention that several pieces of equipment were inoperable need of
maintenance. The pan used to haul cover to the CDLF and LCID had broken in the spring and had not yet been
repaired. A light was on in the Liebherr bulldozer, which does not allow the bulldozer to operate as intended at the
CDLF. An inoperable excavator has been staged near the metal recyclable. The facility should repair or replace
equipment as needed so that the facility can operate in compliance with the rules and conditions of the permit.
B. 15A NCAC 13B .0542 (f)(2), "Except as provided in Subparagraph (4) of this Paragraph, the owners and
operators of all C&DLF units shall cover the solid waste with six inches of earthen material when the waste
disposal area exceeds one-half acre and no less than once weekly ... A notation of the date and time of the
cover placement shall be recorded in the operating record as specified in Paragraph (n) of this Rule."
During this inspection, it came to my attention that the pan, which is used to haul cover soil, had broken in the
Spring and has yet to be repaired. The facility has been relying on a contractor to haul cover soil when the contractor
is available. Staff reported that the CDLF had not been covered consistently in a several weeks, because the
contractor was unable to assist in hauling the cover soil. A review of the cover log indicated that the cover log had
not been updated since July 2022. The cover log must be updated with the dates and times of cover placement.
Exposed waste was observed on the western side slopes of the active CDLF.
Prior to the submittal of this report, Mr. William Hill provided the Section with photographs of the additional
cover soil having been applied to the CDLF. During conversations with Mr. Hill, the importance of functioning
and proper equipment was discussed. Mr. Hill was also notified of the importance of completing the cover log as
required.
The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance
with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an
administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit,
or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to
enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any
such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
6401-MSWLF-1983
1. Edge of waste (EOW) markers were visible from one to the next.
2. The vegetation was beginning to become overgrown on the MSWLF. Mr. Barnes stated that the tractor and brush
hog had just been repaired and staff had not yet had a chance to mow the facility. The facility should be mown as
often as necessary to allow for proper inspection. Mow and maintain the side slopes to allow for proper
inspection.
3. No new areas of ATV tracks were observed up the side slopes of 640 1 -MSWLF- 1983. Numerous No Trespassing
signs have been posted in areas utilized for unauthorized access. Continue to attempt to deter the ATVs from
accessing the landfill.
6403-CDLF-2000
4. Vegetation had been established over a majority of 6403-CDLF-2000 Phase 4. The vegetation along the drainage
ditch of Phase 4 was beginning to become overgrown. Ensure that the side slopes and drainage ditch are mown

as needed to allow for proper inspection and proper functioning of the ditch. A
5. Several erosion rills were identified along the eastern side slope of CDLF Phase 4. The rills should be repaired and
seeded. Additional seeding of the entirety of Phase 4 may be needed to prevent additional erosion.
6. During this inspection, the working face of Phase 5 was small and actively being compacted. Exposed waste was
identified along the western side slope of the active CDLF. However, during this inspection, it was brought to my
attention that the pan used to haul soil had broken in the spring and has not yet been repaired. Mr. Barnes stated
that the facility was relying on an outside contractor to haul cover soil, however, the contractor was not consistent
with hauling cover soil. The cover log had not been updated since July 2022. Mr. Outlaw stated that he had covered
a portion of the working face on Friday, September 29, the last time the contractor was there. Mr. Outlaw also stated
that the western side slope had not been fully covered due to the number of cover soil loads the contractor was able
to haul.
7. The metal recycle stockpile was identified to be smaller than the previous inspection. Continue to manage the metal
recyclables in accordance with the operations plan.
8. The sediment basin to the north of CDLF Phase 4 has been cleaned out, however, the side slopes had become
overgrown. Continue the maintenance of the sediment basins as needed to ensure that the basins function
properly.
9. The tires have been laced within trailers for transport to Central Carolina Tire.
10. The permit, operations plan, and waste screening records were readily available and reviewed during this inspection.
There were several waste screening records identifying waste that had been rejected from the landfill.
