FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 5 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. Section staff met onsite to conduct a inspection of the cities YWN. Mr. Sutherland met Mr. Powell on site and unlocked the gate for access. The site has a fence and gate and is located behind the city’s wastewater treatment plant. The site was empty of YW and is used only if needed in rare conditions. Generally, all YW pickup goes straight to landfill for disposal at 401 Sand. Entrance, gate and sign. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 3 of 5 Looking back toward the entrance. 2. Remember, a Yard Waste Notification (YWN) 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. It was previously requested by Mr. Powell that the 2-acre notification have EOW (edge of Waste) markers installed so that the buffers could be better checked to see if the site was used in the future. They should be on the corners and enough of them to be visible from one to the other. This will help onsite staff keep waste inside the approved areas during its operation. Suggest tall, white PVC pipe. Photos can be sent to Mr. Powell with concrete removal documentation. The YWN should remain clear of anything being stored on it and renewal submitted every year on time if going to be used as well.

However, concrete waste that was to be removed after last visit has not been. Relevant rule for clean concrete, “130A-309.05. Regulated wastes; certain exclusions,” sent before to Mr. Sutherland. This waste has been accepted longer than the rule allows and should be disposed of immediately at a location for that waste type or crushed immediately. Given such a small amount it assumed it will be disposed of at a landfill, however, Mr. Sutherland indicated it was not clean concrete with metal embedded and should be taken to Transfer station or CDLF for disposal if metal cannot be separated beforehand. Please document disposal at the appropriate facility for your records should you need to provide that to the Section in the future or others. A time frame of 45 days from receipt of this inspection report was agreed too, that would be Thursday, March 28, 2024. 2/7/2024 concrete left from 2/2/2022. Must be removed and disposed at landfill for this waste type or crushed. Inspection photo of same concrete on 2/2/2022.
