The Life of Site Permit was issued October 23, 2023. The Facility is required to submit an annual facility report on or before August 1 annually. 2. Waste screening reports were reviewed and verified. The facility does not accept many unacceptable waste items. All prohibited/unacceptable items are loaded back onto the incoming truck and hauled out of the facility. 3. Mr. Ryan Walters is a new employee and has signed up for an upcoming Transfer Station Operations training class. The following are facility certified personnel: Brittany Stallings, Certified Transfer Station Operations Specialist, TS-20120798; exp: 07/18/2025 Michael Arwood, Certified Transfer Station Operations Specialist; TS-2017032; exp: 08/16/2024 Spencer Pernell, Certified Transfer Station Operations Specialist; TS-2021082; exp: 11/2/2024 Stephen Lowe, Certified Transfer Station Operations Specialist; TS-2022061; exp: 08/18/2025 4. Windblown waste is being well managed at the facility. Windblown waste is picked up throughout the day and properly disposed of in the transfer station. 5. Fencing had been installed along the curbing of the transfer trailer bays to assist in catching windblown waste from the transfer trailer bays. Continue to ensure that the windblown waste is removed from the fencing at the end of the operating day. 6. The curbing that had been installed along the transfer trailer loading bay has become damaged. Mr. Deming stated that the facility has been approved to install taller "push" walls along the transfer trailer loading bays. Mr. Deming also stated that the rock and soil adjacent to the curbing would be removed during the installation of the "push" wall. It is recommended that that the facility collect a confirmation soil sample after the removal of the soil to ensure that any soils, possibly contaminated by leachate, have been removed. Please contact Christine Ritter, (919) 707- 8254, Christine.ritter@deq.nc.gov, for sampling protocol. 7. Mr. Deming also stated that portions of the concrete apron would be repaired as needed. Additional areas around the scale and parking area would be concreted as well. Please keep the Section informed of the status of the repairs. 8. Some waste was observed within the transfer trailer bays. The transfer trailer bays are cleaned out between trailer loads and at the end of the day. Some waste was also observed on top of the push wall at the back of the transfer station. Mr. Pernell provided Ms. Thompson of the waste having been removed prior to the end of the operating day. Continue to remove waste from the transfer trailer bays as needed throughout the day and at the end of the day. 9. The condition of the tipping floor is consistent with the daily operations of the facility. All waste is removed from the tipping floor at the end of the operating day. The tipping floor is also washed at the end of the operating day. 10. Some areas of standing water were observed within the leachate containment area. Ensure that the water or possible leachate is contained within the leachate collection system. 11. One trailer was found to be leaking from a support beam during the inspection. Mr. Pernell contacted the contractor to have the trailer moved into the leachate containment area. Ms. Thompson stated that the soil beneath the trailer would need to be removed and taken to the transfer station for proper disposal. Mr. Pernell provided the Section with photographs of the soil removal and the stoppage of the leak using JB Weld or caulk. Continue to inspect the trailers for defects and if found leaking, place within the leachate containment area. 12. An area of standing stormwater was observed outside of the fence for the transfer station. Mr. Deming stated that the area of standing water was the result of a broken water line. The water line would be repaired, and the area should dry. 13. Digital photographs were taken during the inspection. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
