O. Box 1067 Lexington, NC 27293-1067 PARTICIPANTS: Steven Sink, Landfill Supervisor – Davidson County Angela Jones, Administrative Assistance – Davidson County Susan Heim, Environmental Senior Specialist, Solid Waste Section STATUS OF PERMIT: 2906-MSWLF-1994: Closed 2906-MSWLF-2008: Issued 7/14/2014; Expires 5/28/18 2906-CDLF: Issued 5/28/2013; Expires 7/18/2018 2906-HHW: Issued 7/14/2014; Expires 5/28/2018 PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT: Partial Inspection STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS: 1. RESOLVED: 15A NCAC 13B .0203(d) cited for failing to perform and/or document the required waste screening provisions stated in the Revised Operations Manual (July 2013). Ms. Jones provided the random waste screening calendar and log book that she had developed and reinstated. An examination of these records showed that the required number and frequency of waste screenings is now being performed at the MSW landfill. Since both the C&D landfill and the transfer station are not currently in operation, no waste screening documentation is currently required for those two operations. 2. CORRECTIVE MEASURES IN PROGRESS: 15A NCAC 13B .0542(l)(4) cited for failure to capture leachate or to treat it prior to discharge. The earthen berm installed at the toe of the C&D landfill slope appeared to be effective at trapping most of the leachate accumulating in that area. However, due to recent severe storms, a small channel developed leading down the slope adjacent to the berm. Mr. Sink stated that FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 3 he would rework the slope again to ensure capture of all the liquid runoff. He further noted that the sampling plan had been approved by the Solid Waste Section and implemented on June 30th. Although the laboratory results have not yet been received, Mr. Sink notified me by telephone on July 14th that the results showed no contamination. Written documentation will be provided as soon as it becomes available. 3. CORRECTIVE MEASURES IN PROGRESS: 15A NCAC 13B .0542(f)(1) cited for failure to apply adequate cover to waste at the C&D landfill. A great deal of progress was observed during this inspection. Mr. Sink stated that he will apply additional cover to the slopes and cap to provide the final cover needed prior to closure of the landfill operation. 4. CORRECTIVE MEASURES IN PROGRESS: 15A NCAC 13B .1626(2)(a) cited for failure to adequately cover waste at the MSW landfill. Additional cover continues to be added to the areas surrounding the working face. Additional cover is still needed in some areas to achieve compliance. Mr. Sink stated that cover and repairs would be completed prior to the arrival of the seeding contractor on July 15, 2016. 5. CORRECTIVE MEASURES IN PROGRESS: 15A NCAC 13B. 1626(7)(a) cited for failure to prevent silt from leaving the MSWLF facility. No new areas of erosion were observed at the MSWLF during this inspection. Compliance will be achieved once vegetative cover is established on the slope facing the new cell construction. 6. CORRECTIVE MEASURES IN PROGRESS: 15A NCAC 13B. 1626(7)(b) cited for failure to prevent on- site erosion. In addition to regrading and seeding of the slope facing new cell construction, top soil had been spread on some of the eroded areas of the remaining slopes of Phase 2 of the MSW landfill. Mr. Sink stated that slope repairs and regrading will be completed prior to the reseeding scheduled for July 15, 2016. 7. CORRECTIVE MEASURES IN PROGRESS: 15A NCAC 13B. 1626(7)(c) cited for failure to provide for a vegetative cover sufficient to restrain erosion within 30 working days or 120 calendar days of completion of any phase of MSWLF development. Initial efforts at establishing a stable vegetative cover were not effective. Evidence of additional cover and regrading were observed, and Mr. Sink advised that reseeding would take place on July 15, 2016. OBSERVED VIOLATIONS: No additional violations were observed during this inspection. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. Trees had been removed from the area of the edge of waste at the MSW landfill. Mr. Sink stated that work is continuing on clearing the vegetative growth in the drainage channels located on the Phase 2 (active) and Phase 1 (closed) MSW landfill slopes. 2. The amount of windblown litter previously observed at the facility had been reduced, and inmate crews were observed collecting windblown trash during this inspection. 3. Access roads were of all-weather construction and in good repair. 4. The working face of the MSW landfill appeared to be more compact, with a tipping area that was more defined and The item(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 Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit, or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the 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.

Mr. Sink stated that the remaining capacity of the active cell is limited to a small area across the top of the landfill, and that he anticipated moving to the newly constructed cells in the near future. 5. At the time of this inspection, a contractor was observed evacuating CFCs from white goods, and a portion of the white goods stockpile had been removed. Mr. Sink advised me by telephone that evacuation and removal of all white goods units and scrap metals from the site had been completed on July 15, 2016. 6. The electronics collection and processing area was observed. A number of shrink-wrapped pallets and gaylords of electronics were stored in the cardboard collection building and in the unused transfer station awaiting pick-up by the electronics recycling contractor. A small pile of unsorted materials remained between these two buildings. Mr. Sink stated that inmate crews were being used to help process and sort the electronics, and that he anticipated the remaining materials would be sorted and palletized before the end of July. Mr. Sink also stated that several trailer loads of electronics had already been removed, and that the contractor would continue to transport loads until the large stockpile of electronics was eliminated. 7. The large stockpile of unprocessed latex paints previously observed at the facility appeared to be unchanged at the time of this inspection. Mr. Sink stated that the HHW contractor had been advised to process the paint and remove it from the site as quickly as possible.
