ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
On February 22, 2016, Susan Heim and John Patrone met with Brian Warfford, Facility Operator, Dalton Warfford and
Becki Smith to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Todco, Inc. C&D Transfer Station and Processing Facility,
located on Roy Lopp Road in Lexington, Davidson County.

1. The facility consists of construction and demolition (C&D) transfer (TS) and treatment and processing (T&P)
operations and wood waste treatment and processing situated on ~34 acres of land.
2. Brian Warfford stated that the facility operates as a subsidiary of Best Disposal, Inc., and accepts loads
primarily from that company for processing and disposal.
3. The service area for the facility is defined as Cabarrus, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph,
Rowan, Stanley and Davidson Counties.
4. A review of the FY 14-15 Facility Annual Report showed that 18,376.93 tons of material were accepted during
the reporting period, for an average of 1,531 tons/month.
5. A review of January 2016 disposal records indicated that a total of 11.10 tons of residual waste was transported
to the Davidson County MSW Landfill (2906-MSWLF-1994). Brian Warfford stated that all residual waste is
disposed of at this facility.
6. The scale used at the facility was inspected by NC DOACS on August 4, 2014 (Inspection #2539), and
calibrated by Charlotte Scale Co., Inc. on November 23, 2015.
7. The facility operates Monday through Saturday, 7:30 am to 4:30 pm; during the winter, Saturday hours are
shortened to 7:30 am to 12:30 pm.
8. In January 2016, the facility received 1,419 tons of material and shipped out ~2,592 tons of boiler fuel.
9. Vegetative and waste and wood waste are separated for processing into mulch and boiler fuel, respectively.
Processing is accomplished onsite through use of a tub grinder.
10. After processing, mulch and boiler fuel are stored in separate areas to avoid cross contamination.
11. Identified C&D loads are processed on a covered picking line to recover recyclable materials, including
cardboard, metals and wood.
12. A row of large screens is in place on the south side of the concrete pad, outside of the covered tipping floor, to
contain windblown litter on the site.
13. A review of the random load inspection/waste screening records from July 2015 through the date of this
inspection revealed that the minimum of 1 random load inspection per week, as specified in the approved
Operations Plan, was being met.
14. A review of the facility training records established that the following NC SWANA Transfer Station Operations
Specialist certifications were current: Becki A. Smith, expires 6/19/16; Cherie D. Warfford, expires 4/16/16;
Todd A. Warfford, expires 4/16/16; Dalton Avery Warfford, expires 4/16/16.
15. Ensure that all non-vegetative material is removed prior to processing wood waste into mulch.
16. Ensure that any waste left on the tipping floor at the close of the operating day is covered at minimum with a
tarp.
17. Ensure that containers holding solid waste for landfill disposal are covered when not in use.
18. Ensure that proper signage is in place and includes the facility permit number and emergency contact
information.
