FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 8 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 site has an LCID, 2-acre YW staging and processing area and an animal burial unit. County should contact NCDA Vets office for rules/guidance for animal burial. Mrs. Locklear informed inspectors a county staff member is assigned to LCID/YW area to manage waste dumping and unapproved wastes management onsite during the day. Good job. Be sure onsite staff are aware of permit/rules so that they may be most effective. 2. The signage needed some additional to meet new rules during last inspection. Since that visit the required items have been added. Good job. Current signage at entrance to Hoke County Solid Waste facilities. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 3 of 8 3. The road from the Transfer Station to the LCID/YW processing had serious erosion and was mentioned in the previous inspection. The road has been addressed and was in good shape during inspection. Good job. Please be proactive in maintaining all roads for access to rear of facility. Access road from TS to LCID/YW areas. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 4 of 8 4. The current YW processing operations have now been moved further NE, on the end of the provided maps and are still being separated by the center road through the 2-acre area. One side takes new yard waste, and the other side is where the mulch is windrowed after grinding. Currently, only one side has raw waste, and the other side is empty. Previously used areas are rutted with some waste remaining. Please be sure and remove all waste, not inside the 2-acre area when conditions allow. Staff are now assigned to this area and the LCID, but this staff was on vacation during inspection. EOW markers were installed on the corners with some used for traffic control of dumping. The SE side was along the previously identified 100 ft buffer. Suggest waste is not allowed to be so close to this buffer to ensure waste doesn’t accidentally make it into the buffer as time and operations proceed. Good job. Maintain size of 2 acres and be sure operations align with permit, rules and approved operations plan/documents. Entering YW area.
