5. The facility is properly secured with a locked gate. 6. Access roads are of all-weather construction. 7. Buffers are being maintained.
8. Per 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (1) states that “The site shall only accept those solid wastes that it is permitted
to receive.”
Unacceptable waste streams were noted during the inspection. Creosote poles and treated lumber need to be removed and properly disposed of at a facility permitted to accept that waste type. Operator explained the facility was aware of the unacceptable waste and had already contacted the contractor that dumped the unacceptable waste to have it removed from the site.
9. Onsite discussion included closing and the possibility of permitting the NLCID. Ms. Patterson re-sent Mr. Benford new NLICD rules via email with this inspection report. The new rules have eliminated Notified LCID landfills. This site must close by January 1, 2026. The only way to continue operating would be to get this site permitted. Deana Yitbarek is the permitting engineer with the Section for New Hanover County and she should be contacted for questions on permitting. Her contact info is [phone] and [e-mail]. Property owners of the NLCIDLF after January 1, 2026 will need to follow
Closure and Post Closure Care rules .0567.
10. Continue to monitor erosion until ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion has been established. 11. Digital pictures were taken during the inspection. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
