2. The facility is permitted to receive “Construction or demolition debris”, inert debris, used asphalt, and land-
clearing debris from Wake, Johnston, Harnett, Chatham, Orange, Durham, Granville, Franklin, and Nash
counties. All C&D waste that is not recycled must be transported for disposal to the Shotwell Landfill located
in Wendell, Permit Number 92-26; the Red Rock Disposal C&D Landfill in Holly Springs, Permit Number 92-
28; or the Material Recovery C&D Landfill in Raleigh, Permit Number 92-31

4. Reviewed waste screening records for January 3, 2017 through August 3, 2017. Waste screening records were
well organized. However, waste screening records for May through July were much lower than the
recommended 1% of incoming waste being screened. Discussed with operator and facility will work on doing a
better job to keep up with the waste screening inspections.

5. The facility Permit and Operation Plan were readily available and reviewed with operator. As part of the
normal operations, the staff undergoes regular training which occurs approximately every 6 weeks and covers
rotating topics.

6. All waste staged for transport and operational areas where waste may be piled up for processing must be
managed on an impervious surface that will not allow leachate to come in contact ground or surface waters.

7. Wood was segregated from the incoming waste and stored behind the tipping area. Wood is sent offsite for
grinding.
