Rockingham County

Dear Mr. Corcoran:

On March 31, 2016, Susan Heim, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste
Management Solid Waste Section, inspected the above referenced facility for compliance with
North Carolina solid waste statutes and rules. Paul Dishmon, Municipal Services Director for the
City of Eden was present and represented the City of Eden Wood Waste Facility during this
inspection. The following violations were noted:

A. 15A NCAC 13B .1402(g)(3), states that small Type 1 facilities must provide, “notification
of the Solid Waste Section prior to operation and on an annual basis.”

The City of Eden is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .1402(g)(3) by failing to notify the Solid Waste
Section annually of its yard waste notification site as required. The last record of notification
found is dated May 25, 2010.

B. 15A NCAC 13B .1402(f)(6), states that small Type 1 facilities must “occupy less than two
acres of land.”

The City of Eden in in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .1402(f)(6) based on the size of the existing
operation, which was estimated to occupy approximately 2.75 acres of land.

The above violation may have or can compromise the facility’s ability to ensure protection of the
public health and the environment and thus require remedial action on behalf of the facility in
order to maintain compliance with 15A NCAC 13B .1402(g)(3) and 15A NCAC 13B .1402(f)(6). In

actions:

1. Immediately cease receiving waste at the facility until the corrective actions noted in
#’s 2 and 3 below have been completed.

2. On or before April 25, 2016, submit a Yard Waste Notification to the Solid Waste Section

The violations listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the
