2. This PTO covers Area 1 and Area 2, phase 1.
3. This permit approves the construction of Area 2, Phases 2 through 4. The initial, substantial, construction authorized by this Permit Approval to Construct must commence within 18 months from the issuance date
of the permit issued September 23, 2022. If substantial construction does not begin by this date, then the
permit to construct shall expire. No construction of Area 2 has commenced as of the date of this inspection. and the permit approval to construct issued September 23, 2022, is beyond the 18-month window provided to start construction at Area 2. Facility staff indicated that the consultant at Smith Gardner has been contacted to resubmit an updated construction plan, that will reflect Area 2,
phases 1-3, and not phase 4 at this time. 4. Edge of waste markers are present. Ensure that all EOW markers are clearly visible. 5. This facility is permitted to receive Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris, Inert debris, Land-clearing waste, and Regulated asbestos-containing material. The day of this inspection a truck had unloaded waste not consistent with C&D that included an old box stereo cabinet, couch, mailbox,
and other miscellaneous household items mixed with construction and demolition debris at the working face. Staff at the facility indicated they were able to identify who had dumped the load to get them to return to the landfill. Also, during this inspection, a truck with trash bags full of plastic bottles and other household trash mixed with some construction and demolition debris showed up at the working face and was turned away to the convenience site. It is recommended that a strong
presence and screening process continue at both the scale house and the working face to prevent items that are not allowed in the C & D Landfill from being dumped there. 6. This facility is permitted to receive solid waste generated within Wilson County consistent with the resolution passed by the Wilson County Board of Commissioners on June 1, 2020. 7. The facility is approved to accept waste at a rate of maximum 50,000 tons per year.

rejected with explanations on why the loads were rejected. 9. Inert Debris Staging area was observed and it appeared operations were in keeping with the permit requirements. 10. Glass Fines are permitted to be used for road material within the landfill footprint.
