FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 4 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS This facility is permitted to receive solid waste generated by or at the Dan River Steam Station. Waste types include, but are not limited to: coal combustion residuals, wastewater treatment sludge, vacuum truck waste, waste soils (i.e. from ash removal activities or soil that has contacted petroleum), and small quantities of inert debris from CCR unit decommissioning activities. The Permit to Operate shall expire October 26, 2021. 1. The Permit and Operations Plan must be maintained on-site as required and were reviewed during the site inspection. 2. The facility is operated by Parsons Corporation which is responsible for hauling materials to the landfill, daily operations of the landfill, and conducting other associated activities. 3. Ash disposal began on May 31, 2017. For the period between 5/31/17 and 11/11/17, the facility landfilled 383,571.86 tons. Since July 2017, approximately, 27,000 tons of ash have been transported by truck to Roanoke Cement for beneficial reuse. 4. Parsons personnel are responsible for daily landfill operations; certified staff are always present when the landfill is in operation. Training records were documented and maintained on-site. The following Parsons personnel are NC Certified Landfill Managers: Brian Mastin, 17-02M-00295, expires 5/31/2020 James Morning, 17-02M-00296, expires 5/31/2020 Mark Otten, 17-02M-00298, expires 5/31/2020 Swaine Skeen, 17-02M-00297, expires 5/31/2020 Anton Bantel, 17-020-00293, expires 5/31/2017 5. No concerns were noted with monitoring wells observed during the inspection. It is recommended that the areas around the monitoring wells be mowed on a regular basis. 6. Edge-of-waste markers delineating the permitted disposal area were visible and being maintained. The markers are offset from the edge of the landfill liner. 7. All required signs have been posted. 8. Facility access roads are of all-weather construction and are well maintained. 9. Water trucks are utilized to control road dust, as needed. Water trucks were not operating at the time of the inspection because intermittent rain was providing sufficient dust control. Dust control checks occur daily at 9am and 2pm. Records from 8/1/17 through 11/13/17 were reviewed during the inspection. 10. Operational cover is being maintained as approved in the facility Operations Plan. Minimal soil is utilized for cover; landfilled materials are moistened and allowed to crust over to prevent windblown material. Additionally, Gorilla Snot is used to aid in the process of crusting. 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.
