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. Correct signage is posted near the gated entrance. The gate was open during this inspection.
2. There are trash cans at the site for all unacceptable wastes that come in with the leaves and other yard trash. Several
pieces of painted lumber were observed in the eastern end of the unground vegetative waste pile. Any painted or
treated dimensional lumber and other unacceptable wastes encountered need to be removed and properly
disposed of prior to the grinding of the waste.
3. Two separate areas of organic leachate were observed between the western end of the unground vegetative waste pile
and one of the ground vegetative waste piles. The organic leachate was contained within depressions and did not
appear to have left the facility. The yard waste area needs to be graded to properly shed water from the operating
area.
4. Edge of waste markers were visible from one to the next, around the yard waste notification,
5. Digital photographs were taken during the inspection.
6. Corrective measures are necessary at this facility. Measures to bring the facility into compliance must be
completed within 30 days of receipt of this report. The Solid Waste Section will conduct a follow-up inspection
in 30 days to ensure issues noted in this inspection report have been addressed.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
