Subject: Permit Renewal
Permit No. 60AX-LCID-, Lakeview Road Landfill Inc.
Mecklenburg County, DIN 27620

Dear Mr. Swaringen,
The Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section (Section) has reviewed your
application and permitting documents, including;
 Permit Renewal Application. Prepared by Lakeview Road Landfill, Inc. DIN 21524. July
2014.
 Additional Comments on the Permit Amendment Application. Prepared by the Solid
Waste Section. DIN 21555. August 2014.
 Paid Invoice No. SW014-0073. Prepared by the Solid Waste Section. October 2014.
 Recent inspections made by Mecklenburg County Land Use and Environmental Services
Agency.
Note: all Section documents regarding this permit are accessible at;
http://edocs.deq.nc.gov/WasteManagement/0/fol/1441/Row1.aspx
A review of the documents indicates that the application has not been prepared in complete
accordance with the North Carolina Administrative Code (applicable code is attached). And the
deed for the landfill property does not include the required buffers, the drawn buffers lay outside
the deeded property bounds.
The Section has decided to renew the permit for another five (5) years conditional on the
following;
1. The permit that will be issued in 2017, will be required to be recorded by you against
both the landfill deeded property and the adjoining properties owned by Larry and Linda
Swaringen. The adjoining property contains the current landfill buffers, as described in
the application. Should Lakeview Road Landfill Inc. not comply with this condition
within 30 days of permit receipt, then Lakeview Road Landfill Inc. will be expected to
notify the Section that it has ceased receiving waste and will begin closure within 90 days
of permit receipt.

2. Lakeview Road Landfill Inc. will submit, six (6) month prior to the expiration of the
2017 permit, a permit renewal application prepared; in accordance with the applicable
North Carolina Administrative Code (attached), sealed by a licensed North Carolina
professional engineer and include a deed that encompasses both the landfill waste
boundary and buffer boundary. Should Lakeview Road Landfill Inc. not comply with this
condition, then Lakeview Road Landfill Inc. will be expected to notify the Section that it
will cease receiving waste and begin closure no less than 90 days prior to permit
expiration.
Note: these conditions will be added to the 2017 permit.
Finally, within the next 30 days Lakeview Road Landfill Inc. must notify the Section in writing
that Lakeview Road Landfill Inc. will comply with the additional permit conditions, in order for
the landfill to continue operations. Should you have any question regarding this matter contact
me at [phone] or [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Larry Frost, Engineering Project Manager
