Dear Ms. McLeod:

North Carolina General Statute 130A-309.09D(b) requires that, on or before 1 August, each solid
waste management facility shall report to the Department, for the previous year beginning 1 July
and ending 30 June, the amount by weight of the solid waste that was received at the facility and
disposed of in a landfill or recovered for recycling. On August 15, 2018, a Notice of Deficiency
was issued to you for failure to submit the facility annual report. As of this date, the Transfer
Station Annual Report has not been received. Therefore, Recycle Carolina is in violation of the
following:

A. North Carolina General Statute 130A-309.09D(b) states: “On or before 1 August,
the owner or operator of a privately owned solid waste management facility shall
report to the Department, for the previous year beginning 1 July and ending 30 June,
the amount by weight of the solid waste that was received at the facility and disposed
of in a landfill, incinerated, or converted to fuel. To the maximum extent practicable,
the reports shall indicate by weight the county of origin of all solid waste. The owner
or operator shall transmit a copy of the report to the county in which the facility is
located and to each county from which solid waste originated”.
