PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT: Partial Inspection – CDLF / Closed MSW and Landfill Reclamation Pilot Project (Bale Fill Project) STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS: NA FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 9 OBSERVED VIOLATIONS: NA ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. David Powell met with Cumberland County staff to inspect the CDLF/Closed MSW and the Current MSW. The Closed MSW/Active CDLF also has the “Balefill Project” which includes excavation of older buried waste, screening to separate soil from trash. This is a partial inspection with a comprehensive that will be done later this year which will include records review etc. Site was mowed in some areas with others awaiting mowing. A notification document was discussed onsite that was about to be sent to NCDEQ notifying of Pre-Regulatory Landfill excavation south of the Closed MSW/CDLF. This was later sent via email. The transfer station area has had trees removed and soil pad being created. 2. Working face in Phase 6 and was not too large during inspection. Additional soil / ADC was stockpiled near the working face for cover. No unapproved wastes were observed during inspection. Older cells, above the current working face were covered well, vegetated and no windblown or exposed waste was visible. Edge of Waste (EOW) markers were in place around the perimeter. However, the current limits of waste disposal were previously expanded and EOW markers have not yet been moved to represent that change, along south side, please install EOW markers to represent the proper Edge of Waste that is approved and represented in current maps. Working face. Soil is used then 50/50 soil/mulch mix for additional cover and erosion control. with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility.

Closed MSW - Landfill Reclamation Pilot Project (Bale Fill Project) is currently halted. Below is photo as seen from active MSW working face access road on NW side. A large area was excavated and left open, although posi-shell cover was applied. However, the cover was not sufficient for the amount of exposed waste along with the very steep side slopes of the excavated area. Side slopes were not 3:1 as they stated in the approved operations plan section 2.3.1. Any alterations to onsite operations should be submitted and approved by Section Permitting before they are allowed in the operations onsite. Cumberland County added posi-shell cover that evening and emailed photos to Mr. Powell. Additionally, the slopes were later adjusted and covered again with soil, and a photo provided to Mr. Powell via email. Per approved operations plan Section 2.3.5, any disturbed area that is not active for 30 days should have 12 inches of soil cover added, graded and seeded. View is the NE area of closed MSW/CDLF balefill project area as viewed from active MSW working face access road on NW side.

FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 6 of 9 Cumberland County Solid Waste provided photo of side slopes adjusted and covered. Posi-shell was added until this work could be done. 4. Balefill operations at the Closed MSW/CDLF are halted temporarily while the equipment is being used in conjunction with the pre regulatory landfill (PRLF) as it’s being excavated south of the Closed MSW/CDLF. It is suspected by the county that this area is an extension of the closed MSW’s waste, but that evaluation is ongoing. The areas south of the southern access road, beyond the CDLF and Closed MSW, have had the timber removed, and excavations have begun. Many tires were discovered, some cut in half and others whole. Beside the working face on the active MSW, the screening equipment is setup cleaning and separating soil from the tires to “clean” them to go to Central Carolina Tire.
