ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. Windblown litter was observed to be controlled at the facility. Mr. Sink stated that he’d been given the use of a
sheriff’s inmate labor crew to collect windblown material daily, as required by 15 NCAC 13B .1626(11)(c).
2. The initial lift in the new landfill cell was observed to be more than half filled.
3. Heavy rain had damaged the access road and tipping area for the new cell, resulting in mud and rutting from the
heavy trucks. Repairs to this area were taking place during this inspection.
4. The final 24” of soil cover had been placed over the geosynthetic cap material on the closed C&D landfill, and
seeding had taken place. The slopes of the landfill were already green, and preparation for the seeding of the top
was underway at the time of this inspection.

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.
