4. A diversion ditch had been constructed above the working face to divert surface water from the waste area.
5. Seven tires, a metal spring, and a small piece of painted wood were observed adjacent to the gate at the entrance to
the facility. It appeared that these items had been staged for removal and proper disposal.
6. The landfill appeared to be in the early stages of construction and appeared to be less than two acres in size.
7. It appeared that the working face of the landfill was located within the required buffer limits. However, It
appeared that some logs that were placed on site for disposal may have been located within the required 100-foot
buffer to the northern property boundary. Please ensure that any material staged for disposal is not placed within
the required buffers set forth in 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 13B .0564(9)(b).
8. No off-site sedimentation or erosion was observed.
9. A skimmer sediment basin had been provided southeast of the landfill area. It did not appear that installation of
the laminated plastic within the emergency spillway was complete. Please ensure that construction of the device is
completed as soon as possible to ensure proper function.
10. The working face was less than one acre in size.
11. Edge of waste markers must be provided to clearly delineate the limits of the landfill area and to ensure that the
