FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 6 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. John Nguyen, Permitting Engineer assigned to Hoke County, and David Powell with the Section visited Hoke County facilities for a follow up inspection. Mrs. Locklear assisted them during the inspection. The station was clean and in good condition during inspection. Mrs. Locklear informed inspectors an overhaul of the station was still planned soon which would include, but not limited too, replacing push walls with fence, changing floor concrete, adding concrete funnel from tipping floor into loading bay etc. Please be sure all changes planned are approved with Section permitting beforehand and alter David Powell/Solid Waste Section of any changes in operations or operation service. As Mr. Powell was leaving, he noticed some standing water near the leachate collection system storage tank at loading bay. It had recently rained a fair amount, but Mr. Powell called Mrs. Locklear anyway and asked her to check the leachate system. She assured Mr. Powell that a leachate pumper was already scheduled to come pump the leachate system. Please be sure to inspect the leachate collection system for leaks and have them pumped down before filling up to maintain storage and minimize possibility of runoff of leachate. Front of station.

Since that visit, the required items have been added. Good job. Current signage at entrance to Hoke County Solid Waste facilities. 3. There was no windblown litter visible from the road, around the station, coming into the facility or trailer storage area. Good job. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 5 of 6 4. The used oil containment area has been cleaned and a new storage container is in place since last visit. The public is not allowed to dump oil but rather brings in a container and then that container is put into a secondary container until a county staff member properly combines the oil into the main storage tank. Absorbent is readily available for any leakage and operation is on concrete floor under covered shed. Good job. The front of the oil area was neat and orderly.

This area is for scrap tire and waste hauling trailers. Staged trailers. 6. Corrective actions are necessary as result of this inspection. Corrective actions should be completed within 30 days from the date of this inspection report sent. Failure to resolve these matters may result in further enforcement action. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report. ________________________________________ Phone: 919 – 280 - 5135 _ David Powell Environmental Senior Specialist Regional Representative Sent on: 12/22/2023 X Email Hand delivery US Mail Certified No. [ _] Copies: Drew Hammonds, Eastern District Supervisor - Solid Waste Section John Nguyen, Engineering Project Manager – Solid Waste Section
