11. At the time of inspection it appeared the working face was approaching one-half acre in size. 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.”
