SUBJECT: Structural Fill Inspection and Maintenance Reminder
Englewood Baptist Church
Coal Combustion By -Products Structural Fill CCB0063
Nash County
Dear Mr. Cloer:
On July 10, 2019, Elizabeth Werner, Davy Conners, and Benjamin Jackson, representing the Solid
Waste Section (Section), inspected property containing the closed Englewood Baptist Church
structural fill site, CCB0063, located at 1350 S. Winstead Ave, Rocky Mount, NC, in Nash County. The
structural fill on this property was constructed under the rules codified in 15A NCAC 13B
Section .1700. On August 7, 1994 ReUse Technologies submitted to the Solid Waste Section a notice
of a CCB structural fill project for what would become Englewood Baptist Church. Notice of
Completion and Closure was dated Sept 7, 1999. The Solid Waste Section acknowledged in a letter
dated September 7, 1999 receipt of the Notice of Completion and Closure and indicated that the
property owner needs to record the structural fill site with the Nash Co. Register of Deeds and
forward the original notarized statement to the Division of Waste Management after recording. To
date the Division has not received this notice. Within 30 days of receipt of this letter, please
submit this notice of recordation to the Division.
During the inspection, it was observed that the site was paved and had the church building on top of
it. No exposed ash was observed.
Attached is a copy of our site inspection report providing additional information.
Owners of properties containing closed structural fills are responsible for the care and maintenance
of the fill in a manner to ensure protection of the public health and environment. 15A NCAC
13B .1705(a) states in part that structural fills must be "maintained in such a manner as to minimize
the potential for harmful release of constituents of coal combustion by-products to the environment
or create a nuisance to the public."
One of the most effective ways to minimize releases and/or nuisance conditions is to maintain the
approved cap system over the fill in accordance with .1705(j), which states "all structural fills shall

be covered with a minimum of 12 inches compacted earth, and an additional surface six inches of soil
capable of supporting native plant growth." Many of these sites had alternative caps or end uses that
were approved at the time of construction. Currently the cap system at this facility consists of the
concrete foundation for the building.
Section staff may periodically conduct follow-up inspections of this property to determine continued
compliance with the applicable rules. Failure to maintain compliance with the applicable rules could
result in enforcement action. In the interim, if site conditions change due to property usage or if you
observe any changes to the physical conditions of the cap system, please notify the Section
immediately.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact meat (919)
