This e-mail is based on our phone conversation this morning. I spoke
with Jim Coffey and Ted Lyon on thursday the 25th about the weldon
veneer site and the issues that were discussed during the site visit on
the 16th of July. Based on the information obtained by the site visit
the following decision(s) were made in consultation with Jim and Ted:
1. The Solid Waste Section (SWS) will not consider permitting the site
as is; with placing CCB's over the existing waste in -place.
2. If you choose to purchase the property and remove the waste that is
on -site; there is no assurance that the site will still be suitable for
a CCB structural fill until a complete investigation and supporting
documentation is presented to the SWS consistent with .1700.
3. The use of the sawdust as a cover material is suspect. The sawdust
that has not stabilized will continue to break down and absorb nitrogen
and deplete any nitrogen source you use to grow grass at the Womack
Lumber Yard (WLY). Mixing the sawdust with soil may not alleviate the
nitrogen sink issue and composting of the sawdust may need to take
place. Also, the strips of wood veneer, along with any other foreign
matter would need to be screened from the material removed from the site
to utilized the remaining sawdust and soil. The foreign matter removed
will need to be properly disposed of at a permitted facility or taken to
the Weldon transfer station for proper management.
4. The current owner will be contacted about the violations at the site
as they exist today, i.e. illegal dumping of tires/white goods/C&D/brown
goods/furniture, along with the issue of providing the necessary final
cover of one foot of suitable, compacted earth to close the site
correctly and in accordance with SWS rules..

Dear Mr. Grant:
On July 16, 2002 Jim Barber, Eastern Area Engineer and I met with Russell Grant and
Jack Hawkins for the purpose of evaluating the above reference property as a possible Coal
Combustion Byproducts (CCB) Structural Fill Site. This property has been used in the past as a
disposal area for saw dust generated at the Weldon Veneer Plant in Weldon, North Carolina.
Based on the information obtained by the site visit the following decision(s) were made:
1. The Solid Waste Section (SWS) will not consider permitting the site
as is; with placing CCB's over the existing waste in -place.
2. If you choose to purchase the property and remove the waste that is
on site; there is no assurance that the site will still be suitable for
CCB structural fill. A decision will require that a complete investigation with supporting
documentation be presented to the SWS consistent with 15A NCAC 13B .1700
