Dear Mr. Woodard:

On August 9, 2017, Charles Gerstell, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste
Management Solid Waste Section (Section), inspected the above referenced facility for
compliance with North Carolina solid waste statutes and rules. The following violations were
noted:

A. 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 13B .0566(2) states: “A facility shall only
accept those solid wastes which is permitted to receive.”

During the inspection, demolition waste consisting of multiple pieces of plywood, painted
wood, painted block, metal, shingles, ceramic tile, insulation, wood paneling, PVC pipe,
possible ceiling tiles, a toilet bowl, a sink, a hot water heater, carpet, drywall, treated lumber,
pieces of metal and metal conduit, corrugated plastic pipe, vinyl siding, and plastic buckets
were observed on site. Municipal solid waste such as plastic drinking bottles, a television,
clothing (a sock), blankets, an empty prescription pill bottle, and plastics was also observed.
Some demolition waste on site appeared to have been burned. The aforementioned wastes
are unacceptable for disposal in a Land Clearing and Inert Debris Landfill. Therefore,
Charles Woodard is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0566(2).

The above violation may have or can compromise the facility’s ability to ensure protection of the
public health and the environment and thus require remedial action on behalf of the facility in order
to maintain compliance with 15A NCAC 13B .0566(2). In order to resolve these issues, Charles
Woodard must take the following actions:
