2) This facility is permitted to receive all MSW, Construction & Demolition (C&D) Waste, Yard Waste (YW),
Land-clearing Debris (LCID), Scrap Tires, and White Goods generated within Onslow County.
3) Proper signage including the facility permit number, accepted waste types, banned or excluded items, hours of
operation, and the emergency contact number is posted at the facility entrance.
4) The facility is secured by means of a locked gate at the facility entrance. The gate was open upon my arrival
and facility personnel were on site during this inspection.
5) The hours of operation are Monday through Saturday 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Three Holidays are observed:
New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
6) The facility access roads are of all-weather construction and are currently well maintained.
7) This facility maintains a household solid waste collection area near the scalehouse with roll-off containers for
use by residential customers. This area is well maintained with no overflow or windblown debris observed
during this inspection.
8) The MSWLF is currently operating in Phase V.
9) The electronics, scrap tire, white goods, and scrap metal collection areas were reviewed during this
inspection.
10) All scrap tires are being maintained inside a concrete bunker on the concrete slab adjacent to the recyclable
metal/white goods management area. Incoming tires are covered at the end of the workday until placed into
containers for transport to the landfill working face for shredding and disposal.
11) All recyclable metals and white goods are maintained on the concrete pad until placed into roll-off containers
for transport to the metal recycling facility. Refrigerant containing white goods are maintained separate from
other scrap metals and are maintained in an upright position until the refrigerants are collected for recycling.
12) No attendant was on-site at the recycling collection area during this inspection. *Moving forward, in order to
prevent the disposal of unpermitted materials and the scavenging of materials, please ensure an attendant is
present at the recycling collection area during operating hours.
13) The active working area is being maintained in a compact and manageable size. The waste type was reviewed
and only MSW was observed at the working face during this inspection.
14) Soil is stockpiled in an area adjacent to the active working face for use in daily cover.
15) Windblown debris is collected and returned to the working face throughout the workday as necessary.
Windblown debris is currently well-managed.
16) This facility utilizes an Arjes VZ 950 Titan shredder to process scrap tires for use as an alternate cover
material. The shredder was offline for maintenance and no shredding operations were underway during this
inspection.
17) The facility cover crop consists primarily of native warm-season type grasses and is mowed throughout the
year as needed. Areas of sparse cover on the outside slopes of the inactive landfill phases have been seeded
and mulched to establish a cover crop suitable to prevent erosion of the landfill cap system.
18) No off-site erosion was observed during this inspection.
19) Landfill Gas (LFG) is collected and plumbed to the on-site Onslow Power Producers/Cube District Energy llc
LFG-to-energy plant. Daily operations of the LFG-to-Energy Plant are conducted by Cube District Energy,
llc. The LFG-to-Energy plant was in operation during this facility compliance inspection.

Jacksonville Wastewater Treatment Plant. The leachate containment tanks and management system appear
well-maintained at this time.

maintained at this time.
22) No violations were observed during this inspection.
