2. 15A NCAC 13B .0566(12) states: “Open burning of solid waste is prohibited”.

During the inspection, burned wood debris was observed within the landfill. Mr. Graley stated that they burned the wood.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. Access to the site is secured by a gate.
2. The access road into the site was in good condition at the time of the inspection.
3. Ensure all edge of waste markers are visible and maintained.
4. Attached is a copy of an August 10, 2010 letter to First Citizen’s Bank (FCB) noting the existing conditions of
the landfill at the time of foreclosure of the property from the previous owner, and future landfill operational
conditions. Upon acquisition of this property from FCB, an onsite meeting occurred on January 7, 2011
involving Mr. Billy Hicks with Williams Landworks and Jason Watkins, Central District Supervisor for the
Field Operations Branch, Solid Waste Section. The notification of the landfill under Williams Landworks was
filed the same day.
5. Based on site observations and through reviewing aerial photos since 2011, it appears the landfill has continued
to accept waste. Therefore, to ensure that the facility remains in compliance with the letter noted in item 4
above as well as the rules outlined in the notification document filed with the Davie County Register of Deeds
and signed by you, please provide an updated survey map of the landfill footprint as it currently exists
within 60 days of receipt of this report. Please note that if the survey indicates that the disposal footprint
exceeds the allowed 2 acres or that buffers to property lines, etc. are not being maintained, additional actions
will be required by the facility to comply with all laws and rules.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.

Re: Summers LCID Landfill – NO599
Davie County, North Carolina

Dear. Mr. Schorsch:

The Solid Waste Section (Section) has been notified that First Community Bank has acquired (via foreclosure)
property previously owned by James W. III and Kim E. Summers located at 1075 Main Church Road near
Mocksville, North Carolina. The property contains a Land Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID) Landfill, recorded
in the Davie County Registry of Deeds, Book # 461, Pages # 863-65.

Based on a site visit conducted by Section staff on July 28, 2010, the landfill was not closed in accordance with
NC Administrative Code prior to Mr. and Mrs. Summers being relieved of ownership.

During a meeting on August 2, 2010 in the Winston-Salem Regional office with Tim Latham and Matt Osborne
of the Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section, Brent Morris with ReMax Realty and yourself, as
well as an on-site meeting on August 3, 2010, we discussed several options for the property in terms of proper
closure of the landfill and marketing the property. Based on those discussions, a request was made that I
summarize the requirements for closure and further use as it pertains to Solid Waste issues. The following will
provide that summary.

1. The approval to operate an LCID landfill that Mr. Summers maintained limited his total disposal area to
two (2) acres in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0563. On the survey provided to you, it was noted
that Mr. Summers was at/near 1.99 acres in surveyed disposal area. Therefore, the continued operation
of the current disposal area would be contingent upon approval by the Section and limited only to
acceptance of material to fill out existing slopes and potentially expand vertically if allowed by County
ordinances. The 2 acre surveyed area footprint would remain intact and only the slopes could be
extended upward. Otherwise the landfill area must be closed as described below.

Any future disposal and/or other solid waste management activity on this property would require
approval of the Section prior to beginning that activity in accordance with the statutes and rules in place
at the time of the application.

2. The procedures for proper closure of the LCID area are as follows:

a. A minimum of one foot of suitable soil must be applied to the entire disposal area.
b. All slopes must be graded to no greater than a 3:1 ratio to allow for proper drainage and long term
maintenance.
c. Establishment of a permanent stand of grass and/or other groundcover suitable to prevent erosion
must occur. Groundcover must meet the requirements of the Erosion and Sedimentation Plan on file
for this landfill.

Be advised that .0563(2)(d) requires that “when the land on which the Land Clearing and Inert Debris Landfill
is sold, leased, conveyed, or transferred in any manner, the deed or other instrument of transfer shall contain
in the description section in no smaller type than that used in the body of the deed or instrument a statement that
the property has been used as a Land Clearing and Inert Debris Landfill and a reference by book and page to the
recordation of the notification.”

It is noted that some existing waste material may need to be moved to allow for placement of soil cover.
Therefore by December 3, 2010, the landfill must be properly closed in accordance with item #2 above. Please
notify this office upon completion of the activities needed for closure. As we discussed, improper closure of
a landfill would be deemed a violation of the NC Solid Waste Rules and would be subject to civil penalty
assessment of up to $15,000 per day per violation.

Should a buyer be identified prior to December 3rd, a follow-up meeting prior to closing is requested to ensure
all parties are understanding of the legal requirements of owning this property and any needed paperwork that
may need to be completed at that time.

If you have any further questions, please contact me directly at [phone].

Sincerely,

Jason M. Watkins
