constructed, expanded, or modified without a valid permit issued by the Division for the specified type of
activity. It is the responsibility of every owner or operator of a proposed solid waste management facility to
apply for a permit for the facility."
During this inspection, the land clearing waste within the T&P area had been covered by soil. Mr. Kiefer stated that
the land clearing waste was covered with soil to ensure that the land clearing waste would not catch fire during the
winter. Mr. Kiefer also stated that the land clearing waste would be uncovered, screened, and ground in the Spring.
Upon review of the permit and operations plan, the T&P area has not received the proper approval for disposal. The
Facility must excavate and properly dispose of the land clearing waste or excavate.

such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.
