ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. David Powell met with David Lambert to conduct an inspection. Meeting originally was to meet and see the
completed Cell 6 expansion of CDLF but this meeting was canceled last minute.
2. Entrance sign at scale house is currently updated. The sign at entrance meets requirements. Good job.
3. Electronics are taken to South Carolina by Southern Environmental. Electronics storage was adequate near scale house during inspection. Be sure keep roll offs covered.
4. Future barrow pit area was visited, and is currently ready for excavation with trees and roots removed. DEMLR
will assist with approving that type of activity. Be sure everything works within approved plans/permits.
Communicate with Ming (DWM Engineer) and with Regional Senior Specialist (David Powell). Solid Waste Director has already communicated with Ming on what’s steps should be taken, follow up and be sure these
requirements are met before continuing.

5. At the time of this inspection, the CDLF working face appeared to be one half acre or less. Significant soil cover
was being stockpiled to cover. Good job. At the time of this inspection, waste was being dumped at the top of
the landfill and then pushed down slope in Cell 5. Cover logs are included in the weekly checklists and some were
reviewed. All cover since January 2021 has been 100 % soil and not the 50/50 mix with mulch.
The working face shall be maintained in accordance with the rules 15A NCAC 13B .0542 (f) and .0542 (g).
6. Visible from the access road, as you drive around the CDLF, are some rills and eroded areas, probably due to recent rain. However, there were areas in which soil has been replaced where there had previously been
erosion. Good job. Stay on top of this or may have exposed waste, seeps or worse issues which are harder to bring back into compliance. Erosion on slopes shall be repaired before seeding and establishing vegetation.

7. Windblown must be collected and properly disposed at the end of each workday. There was small pile of
unapproved waste off from working face were they are stockpiled until a full load was ready for removal. Waste
screenings should increase in number to catch more of this unapproved waste before it makes it to working
face.
8. Cell 6 Expansion is basically finished. Be sure and check the Pre Operational Conditions in your permit and communicate with Section Permitting to ensure all requirements have been satisfied before proceeding.

9. Storm water basins along Northern side of CDLF have been cleaned out and repaired. Good job. Be sure these
are to plan specifications.
10. White goods waste area still being staged outdoors and not on a pad. One big comingled pile with some
separation of newer units that have not had CFC’s removed in back under edge of shed. It was recommended
that a concrete pad be constructed or the site graded properly, and the waste be sorted and kept orderly, separating by items ready for Freon to be removed and the items that already had the Freon removed. A 300-
foot by 300-foot gravel pad was going to be built for this area to sort and separate as well. Mr. Lambert
discussed this area is still in the works, and will be done through an amendment to the permit if necessary. Plan
is still to have a gravel pad with a fence for scrap metal and white goods. A method of marking the items with
gas removed should be implemented as well.
Permit Attachment 3 Part VII - 11. The unit is permitted to receive white goods as defined in NCGS Article 9,
Chapter 130A-290(44) and scrap metal. The permittee must manage the white goods in accordance with the
approved operating plan and any applicable statutes and rules. 12. The permittee must provide for the proper
removal of chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants (Freon) from white goods. The permittee must separately store the white goods containing Freon from the non-Freon white goods and scrap metal at this area.

11. The area adjacent to the glass storage and white goods still has some older yard waste/trash piles taking up
space. Last inspection stated, “This area needs to be addressed along with the other piles in the yard waste
area. This will give back some storage area, such as disaster debris, if the County wants to go through the process
for approval. However, this area needs to be graded properly to allow for positive surface water runoff.
Currently there is vegetation indicating its stays wet for extended periods.” Mr. Lambert has made progress at
this area as well. Much material is gone and soil has been spread out in low areas with more stockpiled waiting for proper conditions for big equipment to continue. Good Job. Please continue to reclaim this area.

12. Tire storage trailers were in place and signage directing traffic to them.
13. Certifications/letter from SWANA for Landfill Operations Specialist were sent via email Mr. Lambert after
inspection. Harry Hoyt certification that was sent expired on March 9, 2021, but a letter from SWANA dated
March 11, 2021 attesting to the designation for Mr. Hoyt as a Certified Landfill Operations Specialist for 3 years.
Charlie Marks expires June 22, 2024. The facility should be adequately staffed to ensure all operational areas are covered so that the landfill is operated and maintained in compliance with the solid waste rules and permit
conditions.

14. At the time of this inspection, traffic was creating a lot of dust. Traffic speed was mentioned in another inspection
report for Moore County’s access roads. This was a contributing factor to dust and it seemed to be a very busy
road. Speed bumps are going to be repaired. Money is being allocated to purchasing a “means” of controlling
dust during dryer times. Dust was an issue during visit. Discussions were rocking the sandy road and attempting
to “kill two birds with one stone” on addressing road maintenance and knocking down some of the dust. This is
not much of a fix for dusty roads, but Mr. Lambert is still looking at some long term fixes, such as a water hauling
trailer and/or a truck to apply water on dusty roads in the near future. Please follow through with fixing this issue.
15. Records reviewed: Waste screening reports ranging randomly from 1/2/2020 to 3/11/2021, Monthly waste
volume reports for 12/2020, 1/2021 and 2/2021. Weekly checklists for 2/1/21, 2/15/21, 2/22/21, 3/1/21. Weekly checklist includes cover logs, time and temp for YW, daily rainfall, if waste screening was done or not, grinding
and /or hauling at YW site and multiple checks in all areas of the Moore County Site. These reports were emailed after the inspection by David Lambert. Records reviewed for CDLF and Closed MSW included Environmental
Monitoring Reports for Gas Monitoring, dated 12/11/2020 and 2/24/2021, and water quality monitoring report for October 2020. Both show some exceedances in limits for these facilities. Be sure and communicate with
the Sections Hydrogeologist for this facility, Jaclynne Drummond, for how to address these issues. Her contact
information is jaclynne.drummond@ncdenr.gov or 828-296-4706.
16. Corrective measures were necessary at this site based on observations during inspection. Continue to work
on the issues mentioned onsite and this inspection. Also, continue to communicate with the Section and
updating David Powell. A follow up inspection may be done in near future when returning to do a more
thorough inspection of the Closed MSW.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
