FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT
Division of Waste Management
Solid Waste Section
The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance
with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an
administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit,
or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to
enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and
any such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The facility is permitted as a C&D transfer station and wood waste treatment and processing facility. The
facility operates under two separate permits. The transfer station permit (2908-TRANSFER-2013) has been
issued as a life of site permit; the treatment and processing permit (2908-TP) has expired. Please see the Status
of Past Noted Violations section of the report for more information.
2. The transfer station has been inactive since 2019, due to market fluctuations, and the staffing and space required
to separate the recyclable materials from the C&D waste. Please contact Robert Pike at 336-776-9672, or via
email at [e-mail], to schedule an inspection prior to resuming operations at the transfer
station.
3. The Permit to Operate and the approved Operations Manual are maintained at the facility's office and are
available for review upon request.
4. Tonnage records for the year were available for review upon request. Records were reviewed from June 2023
through May 2024 and were found to be complete.
5. The facility certified transfer station operator certifications have expired. A certified transfer station operator must
be on site at all times while the transfer station is operational. Before reopening the transfer station, ensure
facility staff has completed the certified transfer station operator course.
6. Proper signage was observed at the facility entrance and scale house.
7. The site is secured by natural topography and dense woods with site access secured by two locking gates.
8. Facility access roadways are of all-weather construction and in good condition at the time of the inspection.
9. The entire facility was observed to be clean and well maintained with no windblown debris observed.
10. Waste is placed on a concrete tipping floor located just southeast of the scale house to be separated and screened
for any unaccepted waste to be removed and placed into waste receptacles. Waste receptacles are transported to
the Davidson County Landfill (permit #2906-MSLF-2008) for proper disposal.
11. Processed wood waste to be sold as boiler fuel is stockpiled on the concrete pad and on the southern portion of
the site along with bark that is brought to the facility as finished product and offered for sale to customers. Piles
were found to be of manageable size with fire lanes designed to provide easy access.
12. Brush, land clearing debris, and clean wood waste are stockpiled just northwest of the tipping floor and is
ground for mulch. The mulch is stored in windrows to the north of the maintenance building and are
tumed/moved to prevent the compost process from occurring. The windrows are of manageable size with
adequate access for fire control measures. No composting takes place at this facility. Yard trash is not permitted
to be accepted at the facility.
13. The mulch and boiler fuel operations are kept separate to prevent any contamination.
14. No unacceptable waste was observed in the wood waste stockpile at the time of the inspection.
15. C&D transfer station tipping floor was being used to store a large inventory of lumber. The lumber was
palletized and elevated off the tipping floor. The damaged fabric canopy of the transfer building has been
replaced. The picking line was idle and clean, with no accumulated waste visible.
16. The product storage area is located immediately south of the scale house and consists of a series of concrete
bunkers that hold various sizes and types of stone, sand, and mulch. This area is paved and well -maintained so
that it is easily accessed by customers and facility equipment operators.
17. The facility buffer requirements appeared to be met.
