David Powell conducted a follow up inspection to determine the status of required corrective actions outlined during multiple inspections, Notice of Violation letters, and a Compliance Order with an Administrative Penalty. Upon arrival, Section staff called Mr. Don Gilmore, who gave Mr. Powell permission to walk around the gate onto the property. The gate locks passcode has been changed very recently and Mr. Gilmore wasn’t sure of the code. Mr. Gilmore informed Mr. Powell of a dog onsite, owned by one of his workers, but he would not bite. Upon leaving the site, the gate was unchanged, locked the same way it was found upon arrival. This inspection will also be sent by regular mail. All previous waste is left onsite but has become overgrown and hard to see or navigate through to take better photos. Some new waste was present just inside the gate and to the right, a small pile of demolition waste such as metal and wood. This waste was not present last inspection 2/15/2024. Landowners should be removing waste to permitted sites, not accepting additional wastes. Accepting additional waste risks additional compliance action. 2. The site still has much waste onsite, both older and previously identified waste in previous inspections. Along the road just inside the gate, logs are stockpiled on one side and mulched waste on other side. 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 FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 3 of 10 3. In the NW corner near the front of the property, this area still has vegetative wastes piled up in a larger area, between the office, Doc Bennett rd. and I-95, and the dirt access roadway. Vegetative wastes NW corner of property. Vegetative wastes NW corner of property. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 4 of 10 Vegetative wastes NW corner of property. 4. Vegetative waste, older C and D waste from closed landfill that was previously excavated by Mr. Gilmore, and some newer C and D waste are located on top of the closed notified land clearing and inert debris landfill (NLCID) - Eagle Refuse. Drillers mud dump off SE, NE and E sides of old landfill. Older C and D with some newer waste’s concrete piles in front of view.

Waste has been left along the back of property and at end of dirt road access, as well as filling the back portions of the road, blocking its path. Waste loads consist of comingled vegetative waste, tires, metal, cloth, plastic, dimensional treated lumber, paper, and soil. Previous waste, that was confirmed asbestos and contained heavy metals, appears to have been covered due to the additional loads of waste disposed of on the property. No information or action plan was ever provided to the Section confirming removal of this or other waste from the site. Once beyond the blocked road access, a walking path is still present, beyond unnamed tributary, that leads to another cleared area in which waste was previously dumped. Those waste stockpiles remain next to the tributary.

Closed out NLCID is too the right out of frame. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 9 of 10 This area, behind overgrowth, was identified as erosion from mine and drillers mud dumping into mine and allowed to run downhill along I-95/property line. This area has been excavated into Interstate 95 Right of Way. An unnamed tributary is downhill from this area. 6. At the time of this inspection no documentation has been provided for removal of hazardous wastes or any other wastes from this site. 7. The Dump and Go facility should cease accepting any waste and should not burn any more waste. Owners have been instructed numerous times to cease accepting waste until all violations are resolved. This also means cease covering and burying with soil. 8. Remove all waste from the top of the closed NLCIDLF. Unacceptable waste removed from the closed NLCIDLF must be removed and taken to properly permitted landfill for that waste type. Send all documentation on where loads of waste have come from and gone too, to date. Maintain and provide documentation of all waste loads leaving in regard to cleanup activities. 9. Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore can contact myself, David Powell, at 919-280-5135 or david.powell@deq.nc.gov to discuss corrective actions or to provide documentation of cleanup. They may also reach Andrew Hammonds at 910-433-3349 or andrew.hammonds@deq.nc.gov. This report will be emailed and certified mailed to the addresses on file. If certified mail isn’t accepted, then a copy will be sent via regular US Mail at that time. 10. Corrective measures are necessary as result of this inspection. A follow up compliance inspection will be conducted by Solid Waste Section Staff. Failure to meet the conditions for compliance may result in further Compliance Actions.
