ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
01 – The purpose of this site visit was to complete a Compliance Inspection. 02 – The facility has locking gate and fencing for security. 03 – The landfill side slopes appear to meet the 3:1 requirement. 04 – The landfill has good vegetative cover and is maintained in good condition.
05 – The roads are of all-weather construction and maintained in good condition. Small scrubs were observed growing at the base of the landfill where the road is constructed. Care should be taken when uprooting scrubs close to the base. Some areas of the landfill access road were wet with tire tracks. Efforts should be taken to seed and repair, and to minimize any unnecessary vehicle traffic. 06 - One of the Edge of Waste Markers observed had fallen over and needs to be secured in an upright position. 07 - Groundwater monitoring results from December 2023 show Benzene and 1,4 Dioxane elevated above the 2 L
groundwater standards in well #5, and well #8. NC DEQ SWS Permitting Unit, Benjamin Kelly is in receipt of this data. The COC form attached with the lab results did not indicate whether the samples were packed in ice when the lab received them. Please confirm the COC and receiving lab acknowledge whether ice was used. The temperature on receipt was
noted as 3.1 Deg Celsius.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
