ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. At this facility there are two notified LCID landfills, N1089 upfront, and N1104 in rear. Both have been closed to the public and no waste dumped in sometime. Closure activities had also begun for both NLCIDs previously. No current signage at site since not accepting waste and has begun closure, although mine is still active
2. During last inspection dated 12/5/2023, road access was available around the perimeter of the NLCID, and grass had been seeded across much of the landfill, road around perimeter. Currently the NLCID is still well vegetated but needs mowing. In addition, some minor erosion around the side slopes and perimeter has caused cover to possibly not be enough for closure and has made the perimeter road unusable. Access roads should be of all-weather construction. Please address soil cover, erosion and perimeter road to operational requirements and/or closure requirements/rules if following through with closure at this time. LCIDs have until January 1, 2026, to be closed according to rule or be permitted, according to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0563(6). 15A NCAC 13B .0566 - (7) Access roads shall be of all-weather construction and shall be maintained to allow access by vehicles transporting waste, Department staff, and fire-fighting vehicles. (4) Areas that will not have additional wastes placed on them for three months or more, but where final termination of disposal operations has not occurred, shall be covered with no less than one foot of soil cover sloped to direct the flow of surface water from the landfill, and stabilized with vegetative ground cover or other stabilizing material. The Division may require further action to correct any condition that the Division determines may be injurious to the public health, or a nuisance to the community. 15A NCAC 13B .0567 (b)(1)(A) - covering the disposal area with no less than one foot of soil cover sloped to direct the flow of surface water from the landfill; 3. The limits of the N1104 NLCID were measured with a laser range finder during last visit, dated 12/5/2023, and
determined to be just over one acre in size. That’s doesn’t seem to have changed. EOW markers were identified as needed at that previous inspection and only one was visible during this inspection on SW corner. EOW markers are needed at all corners, one visible to the next. Some exposed waste was visible along EOW on western side. Be sure waste is inside EOW, recover, compact and slope.

N1104 Rear NLICD - Northern side slope, mowing needed. 4. N1089, upfront, and N1104, rear, were previously going through closure, but not all the requirements have been met, and there is also an immediate issue that needs addressing. Based upon records received and upon review of Moore County GIS tax records/mapping, it seems the two NLCIDs are not meeting rules. Firstly, by one property having more than 2 contiguous acres of disposal on one parcel, it is not meeting rule, 15A NCAC 13B .0563. Secondly, buffers to property lines are not being met for the rear N1104 NLCID, 15A NCAC 13B .0564. N1089 Front NLCID is on parcel #00013973 and N1104 Back NLCID is on both parcel #00013973 and adjacent parcel # 00990775, with property line going through center of the N1104 NLCID. It’s possible the county online tax records are not up to date, do not reflect the most up to date information regarding maps, parcel info. and property lines, or that all documents from landowners were sent to Mr. Powell/DEQ. Either way, below is the current situation, what’s needed and the options therein.

What NCDEQ/Mr. Powell has received, and has currently, for these N1089/N1104 NLCIDs:
• Screenshot image taken from county tax GIS website by David Powell on 9/26/2024 showing
buffer/property line issue still present.
• Photos of soil depth photos for each site, four for the N1104 and eight for the N1089.
• A map showing the two NLCIDS meeting buffers dated 10/2023 but not registered with county register of deeds or showing soil depth samples represented / GPS locations.
• A second map dated 12/22/2023, is registered with county, shows property line to be removed, but doesn’t have NLCIDs represented on the map, no soil depth samples represented / GPS locations.
• A third map dated 7/2024 which has NLCIDs represented, with property line buffers represented, property line that was issue removed, but is not registered with county register of deeds, and doesn’t show soil depth samples represented / GPS locations.
• Copies of the deeds for each NLCID property, referenced as Lot 2A and 2B, mentions new PLAT maps recorded but unsure which maps. What DEQ needs immediately to resolve violations and property line buffer issue:
• The upfront NLCID, N1089, seems to be placed correctly with regard to property lines of parcel# 00013973, but N1104, the rear NLCID, is not. This issue will need to be addressed by either moving waste from the rear N1104 NLCID back onto parcel# 00990775 to meet buffers/current rules or
separating the property to allow for the two NLCIDs to be on separated parcels meeting buffers/rules as they sit. If not moving waste, then a PLAT Map completed, by a land surveyor, with their name and company name, official stamp and signature, showing the two NLCIDs represented, with property lines/buffers represented, and registered with County Register of Deeds.
• Perimeter road fixed/all-weather construction. What DEQ needs for closure, technically not required until Jan. 1, 2026, or you can possibly become permitted by that time:
• A Cap survey PLAT Map should be completed, by a land surveyor, with their name and company name,
official stamp and signature, certifying that at least one foot of suitable soil cover has been placed over the entire landfill, utilizing 4 random test holes per acre, with soil depth test holes represented on the map. The two NLCIDs should be represented, with property lines/buffers represented, and this should be
registered with County Register of Deeds.
• Soil depth test hole GPS coordinates can be documented on PLAT map or separate with Stamp and signature on the document from surveyor/engineer. Photos have already been provided. If need to sample again then provide new photos, corresponding GPS coordinates etc.

• A letter to the Section stating that the owners, “Request closure and have completed the corrective actions in recent inspections.” In addition, this letter should include the name of the facility, notification number, owners name, return mailing address and contact information and be signed by the landowner. One for each NLCID will be needed.

• Post Closure Care is required for 10 years after closure approved.
