ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
On October 28, 2015, Mary Whaley received an e mail with a complaint stating that Robert Johnson was accepting
C&D waste at his LCID Notified site. Whaley met with Robbie Johnson on October 29, 2015 at the Notified LCID to
investigate if C&D was being disposed of at the Double R Farm Land Clearing and Inert Debris Landfill and to inspect
the inert material fill activity used as beneficial fill on Hamlin Road in Durham, Durham County.
INSPECTION COMMENTS:
1. C&D was not observed at the site. Mr. Johnson stated that the C&D was going to a permitted facility and only
the unpainted concrete, block and brick were coming to his site
2. The access roads were very muddy, but it had been raining off and on for weeks. The access roads are to be of
all-weather construction. Improvements must be made on the access roads.
3. The working face appeared to be of acceptable size.
4. Pictures were accidently deleted.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
1. The facility is a land clearing and inert debris (LCID) landfill. An inert material fill activity used as
beneficial fill and a yard waste notification (YWN, 32-005) are also operated on the property.
2. The inert material fill activity abuts the LCID landfill.
3. The LCID landfill, as delineated, is < 2 acres.
4. The LCID landfill contains edge of waste markers - brown wooden poles.
5. Per 15A NCAC 13B .0566(3), “Solid waste shall be restricted to the smallest area feasible and compacted
as densely as practical into cells.”
6. Per 15A NCAC 13B .0566(4), “Adequate soil cover shall be applied monthly, or when the active area
reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first.”
7. It is suggested that the working face/area of uncovered material is maintained at half the size as observed
during the inspection.
8. Per 15A NCAC 13B .0562 Beneficial Fill, “A permit is not required for beneficial fill activity that meets
all of the following conditions: (1) The fill material consists only of inert debris strictly limited to
concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soil, rock, and gravel….” Used asphalt may also be used
as fill material. Rebar attached to concrete shall be cut flush.
9. The side slopes of the LCID landfill and inert material fill activity area should be graded such that a 3:1
slope ratio is obtained or a ratio of which no indication of erosion or runoff is observed.
10. The LCID landfill rear side slope, extending past the edge of waste markers, is stated to be composed
only of inert debris. The inert material is covered with soil and graded accordingly.
11. It is suggested that the facility obtain a survey that delineates both the LCID landfill and inert material fill
activity area. This survey was not requested at the time of inspection.
12. Logs suitable for firewood may be separated out from material received and stored on the property,
removed/cut every few months.
13. The property has a sediment basin. It appeared properly maintained.
14. The site is secured by a locked gate. An operator is on site.
15. The facility has a proper sign. It is recommended that the sign include: “LCID landfill, number N1069.”
