ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

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. Proper signage was observed at the facility entrance which included the facility permit number and emergency
contact information.
3. A review of the facility training records established that the following NC SWANA Transfer Station Operations
Specialist certifications were current: Becki A. Smith, expires 6/19/19; Brian A. Warfford, expires 4/16/16;
Todd A. Warfford, expires 4/16/19; Dalton Avery Warfford, expires 4/16/19.
4. The service area for the facility is defined as Cabarrus, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph,
Rowan, Stanley and Davidson Counties.
5. In March 2016, the facility received 1670.82 tons of material, shipped out 1562.92 tons of boiler fuel, and
hauled 10.80 tons of residual C&D waste to the Davidson County MSWLF for proper disposal.
6. Vegetative and waste and wood waste are separated for processing into mulch and boiler fuel, respectively.
Piles were observed to be well defined. Todd Warfford stated that loads that come in mixed are processed for
use as boiler fuel only.
7. Processing of wood waste is accomplished onsite through use of a tub grinder, which was in operation at the
time of this inspection. Dust was confined to the processing area.
8. After processing, mulch and boiler fuel are stored in separate areas. No visible contamination was observed in
the mulch piles.
9. Todd Warfford explained that, in order to avoid composting taking place at the facility, mulch and boiler fuel
piles are turned regularly to avoid increased temperatures in the piles. Piles are inspected at least daily and
turned or moved as necessary.
10. Identified C&D loads are processed on a covered picking line to recover recyclable materials, including
cardboard, metals and wood. The picking line was not in operation during the inspection.
11. A small amount of waste left on the tipping floor was tarped as required by the permit and operations plan.
