ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1) This facility has a locking gate at roadside entrance for security.
2) Signage has required information. The operator, Albemarle Regional Health Services, is listed along with an emergency contact number. Roads are constructed of all-weather materials. 3) Facility is permitted to receive waste from Perquimans, Chowan, and Gates Counties.
4) Waste must be transported to the East Carolina Regional Landfill (0803-MSWLF-1993) in Bertie County. 5) Windblown trash was not an issue the day of the inspection. 6) No leaks were noted in loaded trailers and troughs are being used to collect any leaking at back of trailers. The outgoing loads are being loaded well and tarped. 7) The tipping floor and loading bay floor were clean. Some repairs are needed on the concrete at the tipping floor. Site staff explained that the work is currently under bid status and the facility expects to have a contractor start work on the floor before year’s end. 8) Load-out bay was clean the day of the inspection and appeared to be cleaned daily. 9) Screening records reviewed during this comprehensive facility inspection were in compliance. The facility has good recordkeeping practices in place. 10) Some repairs are still needed in several areas of exterior metal siding.
11) Two (charged) fire extinguishers and a water hose are located on the tipping floor for fire suppression. 12) Leachate system appears to be in good working order.
13) Scrap metal area is getting full. All white goods containing CFC are stored upright.
14) Concrete debris area looks good. At the time of a new application, ensure information regarding the collection of unpainted inert debris is provided, as this may facilitate the addition of this activity in the next permit issuance cycle. 15) The facility has been operating as a Small Type 1 compost facility. Compost piles look good; however, if the size of the composting area is greater than two acres, a Large Type 1 permit will be required. Please see information attached to the report and follow-up with the Permitting Unit based on the size of the operations.
16) Yard waste and tree debris is being managed well, except you MUST maintain the 25ft. fire lane to ensure firefighting equipment can get around the unprocessed wood and tree debris in the event of a fire. 17) The LCID area appears to be more than one acre and growing. The facility should speak with the Permitting Unit, currently Donna Wilson (donna.wilson@deq.nc.gov), regarding steps involved in an application for a permitted LCID, or discuss plans to close the LCID NC0202 by December 2025. 18) Scrap tires area is being managed well. 19) Plastic triple-rinsed pesticide and plastic containers in large plastic bags were being managed well inside a covered disposal bay. 20) Electronics are being collected at this site and are being managed well.
21) Overall management of this facility is good. 22) Angel White Transfer Station Management certification expires March 16, 2025.
Certified Operators: David Lowe, expires 5/25/2025, Charlie Rome, expires 2/18/2025, and Johnny Thomas expires March 10, 2026. Stella certified operators: Horace Griffin and Brandyn Drake certifications expire 8/7/2027.

COMPOST FACILITY
LARGE TYPE 1
PERMIT APPLICATION GUIDANCE
The N.C. Compost Rules are located in 15A NCAC 13B .1400 et seq., and can be viewed online on our
compost webpage: http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste‐management/solid‐waste‐
section/composting.
A Large Type 1 compost facility is one that receives yard and garden waste, land clearing debris, and
untreated and unpainted wood waste for composting, with an operations area of 2 or more acres,
and/or having more than 6,000 cubic yards of material onsite at any given time.
For Small Type 1 facilities (see Rule .1402 (g)(1)) producing mulch or compost, a permit is not
required but a notification form must be submitted annually, instead of an application:
http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste‐management/waste‐management‐permit‐guidance/solid‐
waste‐section/yard‐waste.
There are three types of permit actions:
A “new permit” means an application for a permit for a facility that has not been previously
permitted by the Department. A significant expansion, change in the boundaries of a permitted
facility, or change in the facility type may be considered a new permit for permit fee purposes.
A “permit amendment” means (1) an application for the ten‐year renewal of a permit for a
permitted facility, or (2) an application that proposes a change in ownership or corporate
structure of a permitted facility.
A “permit modification” means an application for a change to the plans approved in a permit for a
compost facility.
The application report should be submitted as an electronic (pdf) copy (no paper copy necessary).
The application can be sent by email, on a CD, or by online file share. The drawings must be included
in the electronic copy. A paper copy may be submitted if electronic scanning is not readily available,
to the following address:
By Mail or Delivery Service:
NC DENR, Division of Waste Management
Solid Waste Section
1646 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699‐1646
In Person:
NC DENR, Division of Waste Management
Solid Waste Section
217 West Jones St.
Raleigh, NC 2760
An annual fee of $800 is required for large compost facilities. An application for a new permit is
$200.
2
For a new permit application or permit amendment/renewal application, a compliance history review
will be required of the owner and operator of the facility, in accordance with State statutes. After the
application is submitted, the owner and operator will be sent a letter requesting compliance history
information, and parent, subsidiary, or other affiliate information, which is required in order to
complete the application.
Operators of new compost sites are required to meet operator training requirements within 18
months of permit issuance. See Rule .1406 (19) for more information, included on page 10 below.
An application for a new permit should address all Sections as listed below.
An application for a permit amendment (permit renewal) should address Sections 1, 3, 4, and 6 (site
plan drawing only).
An application for a permit modification should address Sections 1, 3, 4; and Sections 2 and 6, if the
proposed site changes affect siting requirements.
The text of the application should be written as a narrative report and stand‐alone document. The
narrative doesn’t have to be in the order of the guidance as long as the information is present.
Questions regarding an application should be directed to the Solid Waste Section, Phone 919‐707‐
8200.
