ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The facility is permitted as Land Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID) Landfill and Treatment and Processing (T&P) facility.
The landfill was originally permitted by Wake County. The current permitting authority is the NCDEQ - Solid Waste
Section (SWS). The facility is permitted to receive waste generated in Wake County. This facility is permitted to receive
land clearing waste; yard trash; untreated and unpainted wood; uncontaminated soil; inert debris such as unpainted rock,
brick, concrete, and concrete block; and asphalt.

1. A permit modification was issued by NCDENR on December 17, 2010. This Permit to Operate expired
December 17, 2015. A Permit renewal application was submitted to the SWS on January 19, 2017. Permit
application is currently under review.

2. The landfill is open Monday – Friday from 8:00 - 5:00 and Saturday from 9 to 3:00. The facility is secured with
a locked gate when staff are not on site. The facility has proper signage.

3. The LCID operation has set a maximum disposal rate of 10,000 cubic yards per year for the LCID landfill and
57,300 cubic yards (average of 200 cubic yards per day based on 5.5 operating days per week or 280 operating
days per year). The T&P operation on top of Phase-1 LCID, has a maximum processing rate of 57,300 cubic
yards per year.

4. The facility site plan and operations plan were discussed.

5. The facility currently segregates different materials for treatment and processing. The facility accepts yard
waste composed of high carbon nitrogen ratio material, concrete, asphalt and soil.

6. The facility has a mulch coloring system; logs are ground for that type of mulch.

7. The facility pad/landfill cap appeared to be in good condition. No holes, ruts, or areas of ponding were
observed. No erosion or runoff was observed.

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

8. A few areas of erosion observed along the southern side slopes. Recent heavy rains had contributed to site
condition. Adequate sediment control measures consisting of vegetative cover, materials, structures or
devices must be utilized to prevent excessive on-site erosion of the LCID. Additional cover needs to be
applied as soon as areas of erosion are notice.

9. Trees need to be removed from the side slopes of the landfill within 30 days.

10. Asphalt is accepted, ground and is used onsite for haul road maintenance. Roads onsite are well maintained. A
perimeter road around the foot print of the landfill is maintained as needed but was not passible at the time of
the inspection due to recent rains.

11. Stockpiled materials are being maintained in reasonably sized piles with adequate fire breaks.

12. No windblown or unacceptable waste streams noted during the inspection.
