The facility is permitted as a Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill. Facility operations also include a treatment and processing area for concrete, asphalt and brick (CAB). 2. The facility is permitted to receive C&D waste, inert debris, land clearing waste and used asphalt that is generated in Forsyth County. Records Review: 3. The current Permit to Operate and approved Operation Plan (dated May 2014) were available at the scale house and reviewed. It was noted that the permit will expire in April of 2020, and that the renewal request must be submitted by October 6, 2019. 4. Tonnage records were provided by Mr. Rickett via email and included data for FY 2016-17, FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19. A review of the information indicated that a total of 47,690.57 tons of waste were accepted at the facility during FY 2018-19; 38,646.20 tons of waste were accepted during FY 2017-18; and, 42,426.25 tons of waste were accepted during FY 2016-17. A total of 23,772 loads (trips) were brought to the facility for disposal in FY 2018-19. 5. In response to a question about covering waste at the facility, Mr. Rickett stated that waste is covered on Fridays at the end of operations. He explained that this schedule ensures that the landfill is in good condition over the weekend when the facility is closed. If bad weather is expected or a holiday falls on a Friday, staff will choose another day of the week to apply adequate soil cover. 6. Landfill gas monitoring is performed quarterly by facility staff. Records of the last four sampling events were provided for review. These records indicated that sampling took place on September 25, 2018, December 20, 2018, March 19, 2019 and June 24, 2019. Sampling logs noted that, during the March 19, 2018 sampling event, MM5 was not sampled due to maintenance taking place to eliminate water intrusion into the well. 7. Groundwater monitoring takes place semi-annually, as required, and is performed by HDR Engineering. Reports covering the last two sampling events were provided for review. These reports indicated that the second sampling event for 2018 took place November 26, 27 and December 11, 2018; and, the first sampling event for 2019 took place May 7 through 10 and May 29 through 31, 2019. 8. Mr. Rickett stated that the number of waste screenings had been increased, based on discussions that took place about achieving the 10% of waste prescribed by the approved Operations Plan. The waste screening logs covering May and June of 2019 were reviewed. Entries were found to be complete, including the disposition of any unacceptable waste identified in the loads. 9. Training records for facility staff were reviewed, and the following NC SWANA Landfill Operations Specialist training certifications were on file and current: George Freddie Tilley — expires February 8, 2020; Clayton Hart — expires February 17, 2020; Jonathan Peavy — expires February 20, 2021. In addition, a current SWANA Manager of Landfill Operations certificate was on file for: Adam W. Rickett — expires May 6, 2020. Field Inspection: 10. Proper signage was observed at the facility entrance. Facility traffic is primarily controlled by the direction of the scale house operator. Signs posted throughout the public areas further assist customers by indicating the location of various operational areas. 11. The site is protected from unauthorized access by a perimeter fence and secured by gates that are kept locked when the facility is closed. 12. Access roads are of all-weather construction and were found to be in good condition. No equipment ruts or erosion were evident on the roadways. 13. The facility was observed to be clean and neatly maintained. Windblown litter was well managed, and Mr. Page 2 of 4 D_E FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT NOFTH CAaOLiNA Division of Waste Management OepaNnent d EnvimmeMal Oualiry Solid Waste Section Rickett stated that a clean-up crew works daily to pick up litter. 14. An area dedicated for the stockpiling of clean concrete, asphalt and brick (CAB) is located west of the scale house. During this inspection, a large amount of inert debris was stored in this location. Mr. Rickett stated that a contract for crushing the material was in the works. He pointed out the small amount of processed inert debris remaining from the previous crushing contract and noted that this processed CAB material is essential to the operation of the landfill for maintaining the access roadways and tipping areas. 15. A sign is posted in the CAB area listing materials that are permitted to be dumped there. Mr. Rickett stated that the scale house operator thoroughly screens CAB loads to ensure they are clean and uncontaminated, and that facility staff check the area several times during daily operations to collect any trash or contaminated materials and dispose of them in the working face. No unacceptable materials were observed in the CAB area. 16. DS34-006, the facility's designated temporary disaster debris storage site, is situated across the access roadway from the CAB area and was observed in passing. Mr. Rickett stated that the site is still available for use when needed. 17. The inactive areas of the landfill had well -established vegetative cover. These areas appeared to be well - maintained, and no woody growth was noted. Mr. Tilley pointed out several areas of the slopes that had washed out during rainstorms. These areas had been repaired, and soil cover was observed to be well tracked into the slope. Mr. Tilley added that seeding would take place, as usual, in the fall. 18. Edge of waste markers were clearly visible on all areas of the landfill and allowed the identification of the waste boundary along an unbroken line of sight around the landfill perimeter. 19. Several landfill gas and groundwater monitoring wells were viewed during the inspection and all appeared to meet construction standards, including locking caps, steel casings set in concrete, and permanent identification tags. Mr. Rickett stated that all of the wells at the facility had been inspected and any necessary repairs had been made following the damage found in monitoring wells at the MSW landfill the previous year. 20. The active portion of the landfill was observed to have good operational cover. Some small erosion rills were noted on the slopes adjacent to the current working face, and facility staff were working to repair these areas during the inspection. Heavy rain events had taken place several times during the month leading up to this inspection. Mr. Rickett stated that facility staff endeavor to keep up with rain damage as soon after storm events as conditions on the landfill permit. 21. The approach to the tipping area was wide enough to allow 4 or 5 trucks at a time to maneuver safely. The tipping area itself was flat and well -compacted, resulting in minimal waste being exposed by trucks and equipment. Traffic in the tipping area was well managed by facility staff. 22. The working face was observed to be small and well -controlled. Soil was placed around the working face to contain waste during operations. Clean soil had been tracked in on the side slopes adjacent to the working face. As a result, the entire operations area appeared to be clean and free of exposed trash. Waste appeared to be well compacted. 23. No unacceptable materials were observed in the working face. 24. During this inspection, a facility staff member was observed conducting a waste screening. The driver of the vehicle carrying the load to be inspected was directed to the side of the tipping area; unloading took place slowly so that the waste was spread out and easily viewed. The staff person walked around the load, speaking with the driver as he did so, and noting the types of material contained in the load on a log sheet. Once the screening was complete and no unacceptable material was found, the driver was thanked and allowed to leave. 25. During the previous inspection on August 27, 2018, two working faces had been in operation — one at the northern end of the active area that was used during dry weather and the other on the eastern side that was used during wet conditions. Mr. Tilley stated that he had stopped using the dry weather area a few days earlier. An inspection of this previous operational area found that most of the waste had been covered and grading was in progress. Mr. Tilley explained that he was preparing this area to tie into the adjacent cell as the fill sequence progressed. He added that adequate cover would be applied to the waste before the end of the week, as required. 26. Some of the facility's erosion control measures were observed and found to be in good condition and functioning properly, including ditch lines, slope drains and sediment basins. No signs of erosion were noted. Page 3 of 4 �111eud.-aso n,emai oaar� The CAB area can be seen in the foreground with the inactive area of the landfill visible in the background.
