SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Compliance Inspection Report
Dunn-Erwin C&D Landfill
Permit # 4302-CDLF-1998
449 Daniels Road,
Dunn, NC 28334
Harnett County

Dear Ms. Bader:

On June 8, 2016, Liz Patterson and Drew Hammonds, representing the State of North
Carolina, Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section (Section), inspected the above
referenced facility for compliance with North Carolina solid waste statutes and rules. The
following violation(s) were noted:

A. 15A NCAC 13B .0566(14), “Leachate shall be properly managed on site through
the use of current best management practices.”

Leachate was observed flowing down the slope behind the yard waste storage
area and the slope of the active LCID area into the perimeter drainage channel
and into a drain on the south side of the LCID that reportedly drains into a
wetland area.

B. Per 15A NCAC 13B .0542(f)(1), states “(f) Cover material requirements. (1) Except as
provided in Subparagraph (3) of this Paragraph, the owners and operators of all
C&DLF units must cover the solid waste with six inches of earthen material when the
waste disposal area exceeds one-half acre and at least once weekly. Cover must be
placed at more frequent intervals if necessary to control disease vectors, fires, odors,
blowing litter, and scavenging. A notation of the date and time of the cover placement
must be recorded in the operating record as specified in Paragraph (n) of this Rule.”

The exposed waste including the active working face and south side slope was in excess of
½ acre at the time of this inspection.

Based upon the foregoing, upon receipt of this Notice of Violations, Harnett County shall come
into compliance with all requirements of the regulations in 15A NCAC 13B .0566(2) and 15A
NCAC 13B .0542(f)(1) by completing the following:

1. Stop the flow of leachate from the LCID landfill and Yard Waste storage area right away,
cover the waste and grade the area to allow for positive drainage.
2. The facility operator must collect samples of the leachate that is pooled up in the yard waste
storage area, in the perimeter drainage channel and the wetland area where the discharge
point is located. A TCLP for the 8 RCRA metals should be performed on the samples
collected. Results from the testing should be submitted to Ervin Lane, Compliance
Hydrogeologist, 1646 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1646 for review.
3. Make repairs to the eroded areas of the C&DLF where the exposed waste and leachate
seeps were observed and maintain the slopes to ensure waste is properly covered.

All corrective measures must be completed within 30 days’ receipt of this notice of violations.
A follow up site inspection will be conducted after 30 days have passed to ensure that the
corrective measures have been completed to bring this facility into compliance.

The violation(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the
facility in order to come into or maintain compliance 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

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 such further relief as may be necessary to
achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.

In addition to the violation noted above, please note that items #6, #7, #8, #12, #13, and #17
