1. The access road was identified around the entire facility, is of all-weather construction, and appears to be properly
maintained.
2. The site has adequate signage posted adjacent to the gate and visible from the road.
3. Permanent edge of waste markers were observed during this inspection.
4. The waste stream observed appeared to be clean. No unacceptable wastes were observed within the waste stream.
Any identified unacceptable wastes are removed for proper disposal.
5. Mr. Davis was in the process of compacting, covering, and sloping the side slopes. Continue to ensure that the
waste is compacted and sloped to meet the three horizontal to one vertical ratio. The waste must be covered
with six inches of soil monthly or when the working face reaches one acre in size.
6. Grasses were beginning to grow along the side slopes.
7. No areas of standing water were observed during this inspection.
8. Mr. Faulkner stated that he had a meeting with Vance County Planning and Zoning to discuss whether additional
zoning was required for the Tungsten Mine facility. Mr. Faulkner is also in the process of obtaining an LCID
permit for another parcel. Ms. Thompson reminded Mr. Faulkner that the Section would need to conduct a pre -
operation inspection prior to the acceptance of waste at the new facility.
9. Mr. Keith Snavely, with the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch, was on -site with an environmental consultant to
investigate possible impacts associated with the historical use of the area as a tungsten mine. The investigation is
expected to take place near the southern portion of the access roadway.
10. Digital pictures were taken during the inspection.
