'm"""°"""' Solid Waste Section During the August 28, 2020 Inspection, adequate cover had not been applied to the working face CDLF Area 2. During the October 13, 2020 Follow-up Compliance Inspection, the CDLF Area 2 had been adequately covered and the working face was less than 0.5 acres in size. Figure 1: View of the covered CDLF Area 2. Facing west. Figure 2: View of the side slopes of CDLF Area 2. Facing northeast. RESOLVED: 15A NCAC 13B .0542 (1)(4), "Leachate must be contained on -site or treated prior to discharge. " The leachate release was identified flowing down an erosion rill along the access road to the top of the CDLF Area 1 during the August 28, 2020 inspection. The CDLF Area 1 access road had been repaired and regraded. As of October 13, 2020, no leachate was observed to be flowing down the CDLF Area 1. Erosion was identified along the CDLF Area 1 access road; however, this can be attributed to the recent heavy rains and sandy soils. The areas of erosion need to be watched and repaired as needed.

A second leachate release was observed flowing from a drainage pipe into the sediment basin located to the south of the CDLF Area 1 during August 28, 2020 inspection. During the October 13, 2020 follow-up inspection, Mr. Holland stated that the source of the leachate release was a broken pipe to the east of Leachate Sump #2 and was allowing the leachate to flow directly into the drainage pipe. Mr. Holland stated that the area was dug up, repaired, and plugged with clay. The leachate impacted sediments had been excavated from the sediment basin and confirmatory samples have been collected and analyzed. As of October 13, 2020, Harnett County has not received the analytical report. Email correspondence with Mr. Beane on October 14, 2020 confirmed that the leachate contaminated water was pumped out of the sediment pond and transferred to the on -site lift station for treatment at the wastewater treatment plant.

Facing south. RESOLVED: 15A NCAC 13B .0542(c)(2), "The regulated asbestos waste must be covered immediately with soil in a manner that will not cause airborne conditions and must be disposed of separate and apart from other solid wastes. " As of October 13, 2020, the asbestos waste disposal area had been properly covered with adequate soil cover. No asbestos waste was exposed. Vegetative cover needs to be established over the asbestos area to help prevent the erosion of the area. Figure 6: View of the covered asbestos disposal area. Facing south. PARTIALLY RESOLVED:15A NCAC 13B .0542 (k)(2), "Adequate sediment control measures consisting of vegetative cover, materials, structures or devices must be utilized to prevent excessive on -site erosion of the C&DLF facility or unit. " The Harnett County Dunn -Erwin Landfill has recently repaired the erosion rills identified during the August 28, 2020 inspection. However, due to the recent heavy rains and sandy soil, some of the erosion rills have returned. The erosion will be monitored, repaired, and seeded. Photographs provided by Mr. Beane show the repaired side slopes prior to the recent heavy rains. The photographs can be found attached to the end of this report.

Water treatment sludge was identified to still be stockpiled across the access road from the asbestos area. There appears to have been no additional water treatment sludge added to the stockpile area since the August 28, 2020 inspection. Mr. Beane confirmed that the Dunn -Erwin Landfill has not received any additional water treatment sludge since the August 28, 2020 inspection. Harnett County is currently attempting to obtain approval to utilize the wastewater treatment sludge as a soil amendment. Mr. Beane stated that the analytical for the wastewater treatment sludge has been submitted to Permitting for review. An area of black soil was identified along the eastern side slope of CDLF Area 2 (please see Figure 1). This area of black soil was identified in the August 28, 2020 inspection. Mr. Beane confirmed in email correspondence that the black soil was the water treatment plant sludge. RESOLVED: 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. " As of October 13, 2020, the LCID was adequately covered with soil. The active working face was less than one acre. Figure 7. View of the LCID. Facing west. RESOLVED: 15 NCAC 13B .0565 (3) (j) "Excavation, grading and fill material side slopes shall not exceed three to one (3:1).

The lush vegetation on the closed MSWLF, the inactive CDLF, the asbestos disposal area and the LCID should be mowed as often as necessary to allow for proper compliance inspection of these areas by site staff and section staff. 8. Windblown waste was observed outside of the CDLF areas at the time of this inspection. The windblown must be collected and returned to the working face prior to close of business daily. 9.
