ADDITIONAL COMMENTS On February 11, 2020, Chuck Kirchner met with A.J. Fuqua to conduct post closure comprehensive inspection of the Caswell County Closed MSW Landfill on Landfill Road in Yanceyville, Caswell County. 1. The facility is a closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill that ceased accepting waste prior to April 9, 1994. The facility received < 100 tons/day. Closure activities were completed prior to October 1994.
2. The landfill is comprised of three fill areas: a MSW fill area (closed prior to 1988) that is ~ 2 acres, a C&D fill area (closed 1994) that is ~ 0.5 acre, and a MSW fill area (closed 1994), located between the older MSW fill area and the C&D fill area, that is ~ 8 acres.
3. There is a concrete pad for the collection of construction and demolition (C&D) debris. The C&D debris is loaded into roll-off containers that are provided by First Piedmont Waste Solutions (FPC). First Piedmont Waste Solutions hauls the containers to its landfill in Chatham, VA.
4. The facility has a MSW compactor for residential drop-off. Municipal solid waste is direct hauled to First Piedmont Transfer Station in Ringgold, VA and then to Upper Piedmont Regional Landfill (73-04) by FPC or directly to the landfill. 5. White goods and scrap metal are collected. White goods containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are removed by Jerry A. Hatchett, certification No. 04041968241969454M.
