ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1. Life of Site Permit was issued 2/20/2017 as a combined permit with facility #2805T issued August 24, 2023, and was reviewed along with the operations plan and contingency plan during this inspection. The facility is permitted to receive waste from Dare County, as Passed by the Dare Co. Commissioners on August 02, 2004. It was noticed during the review process that the combined permit dated August 24, 2023, did not contain the language (item 5,
from the 2022 permit) for the permit modification that was approved for the facility to receive waste from Hyde, Tyrrell counties, and the unincorporated areas of aforementioned counties. The Solid Waste Permitting Unit will review the permit and issue any corrections to the permit. The approval of the modification that includes receipt of waste from Hyde, Tyrrell counties, and the unincorporated areas of aforementioned counties will be remedied with the permit correction. Please contact James Wallace with any questions.
2. This facility is approved to receive the following waste: C&D, Inert Debris, Land Clearing Waste, and yard waste (All used as 50/50 (SM) alternative cover after mulched), white goods, and asphalt. 3. The Facility has signage, locking gates and fencing for security.
4. Interior roads are constructed of all-weather materials and well maintained.
5. Incoming load tickets were reviewed during this inspection. 6. Waste screening records were reviewed during this inspection and found to be up to date. 7. Cover records were reviewed and found to be up to date. 8. The working face is kept small (< ¼ acre) for better management and timely covering. Looks good. The maintenance of side slopes looks good.

9. Facility has a one larger pile of Cover material stockpiled on the top of the active cell and cover material stockpiled of 50/50/SM is already mixed ready for use. Site can be covered quickly in the event of bad weather.

10. Loads are being screened at the working face. The loads appeared to be C&D waste only.

11. Tires when received are not left at the landfill. Tires, if received, are stored and then diverted to a scrap tire trailer off-site at the Dare Co. Public Work Recycling Department in Manteo. 12. White goods containing CFC’s were upright until CFC removed and then placed onto scrap metal pile with a red X on the units. CFC removal records were available but not reviewed during this inspection.
13. There was very little windblown trash during this inspection and staff was actively picking up trash the day of the inspection. The Compactor (using bulldozer) is offline, with parts on back order for repair. All windblown trash is being picked up by the end of the workday. The fencing is working fairly well.

14. The LCID, land clearing waste area looks good with the capacity to receive additional land clearing waste as
needed. 15. Maintenance on side slopes on all cells looks good.
16. Edge of waste markers are present. 17. Facility has 8 Certified Landfill Operations Specialist: Jonathan DeWeese, expires 11/16/2024, Thomas Tillett, expires 10/9/2026, Neal Dennis, expires 5/3/2024, Deborah Equils, expires 11/18/2025, Ashley Walston, expires 2/2/2026. David Wright, expires 2/2/2026, Linwood Hamilton, expires 2/2/2026 and Samuel Moore, expires 2/2/2026. 18. Inspected groundwater monitoring wells MW-8, MW-9, MW-17, and MW-11. All observed were locked and tagged with required information. However, the background monitoring well MW-11 is leaning, and it was unclear if the well is damaged, or if the condition of well could affect the groundwater sampling results. It is
recommended to install yellow caution poles on any unprotected wells. The groundwater table appeared high in this area the day of the inspection. The consultant CDM Smith that completes the groundwater monitoring well sampling should evaluate the MW-11 groundwater well damage and determine if in need of repair.
19. Semi Annual Groundwater reports were available and reviewed. The reported results were from the semi-annual sampling event in April 2023.
20. Gas monitoring reports were available from April 2023 forward since the last inspection, but not reviewed.
21. Digital pictures were taken during this inspection with some attached to this report.
