6) Leachate is collected through a French drain system into a sump and pumped to the Coastal Environmental
Partnership MSW Landfill, permit #25-09 leachate management lagoon for treatment. Plans are underway for
the installation of a force main system which will pump all collected leachate directly to the City of New Bern
Wastewater Treatment Plant.
7) The Facility monitoring wells were observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection. All wells were
readily accessible, properly labeled, and secured with functioning locks.
8) Soil has been brought on site and is being staged for use in settlement and cap repair projects. Two soil
stockpiles are being maintained; one stockpile on the lower lift and one stockpile on the uppermost lift.
9) Overall this facility has a well-established and maintained cover crop of native warm season grasses. The
cover crop is mowed twice per year.
10) Areas of differential settlement were observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection. These areas appear
to be preventing the positive flow of surface wasters from the landfill during rain events, however, no
standing water was observed in these areas at this time. *Please fill and grade these areas to promote positive
drainage of all surface waters away from the landfill. All filled areas should be graded at a slope not greater
than 3:1 and seeded and mulched to establish a cover crop suitable to prevent erosion of your landfill cap
system.

11) Some areas of erosion were observed in various places along the eastern sideslope. The majority of these
areas was located approximately midway down the length of the sideslope near the toe of the slope. *Please
continue working to fill and grade these areas at a slope not greater than 3:1. After grading, all repaired areas
should be seeded and mulched to establish a groundcover suitable to protect your landfill cap system.
12) No off-site erosion was observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
13) The stormwater management basin was clear of excessive brush and is being maintained in overall good
condition.
14) No violations were observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
