ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Andrew Hammonds and David Powell with the Section, inspected Triple “A” Hauling Transfer station as part of a routine inspection and to introduce new Section staff, David Powell, to Permittee and their staff. 2. Currently site is sorting through waste around pad to separate waste from soil. Hope to send soil to Robeson County LF.

3. The tipping floor and transfer loading area must be maintained in a clean, sanitary condition and must be cleaned at least daily in accordance with the approved operations plan. 4. Waste must only be deposited on a “tipping floor” or directly into a transfer container. Waste “must not be stored on the “tipping floor” after operating hours. All waste must be placed in containers by the end of the day or removed for disposal. Including the piles of comingled waste reportedly to be screened. 5. Site has a big issue with storm water management, and therefore leachate management. Site needs proper
grading to shed storm water properly and prevent comingling of storm water with waste onsite creating additional leachate. Refer to approved Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan to manage storm water. Road should be of all-weather construction and pad should be built up more. Discussions onsite were that more of this area was concrete but was broken up and removed. Operator should repair pad back to plan dimensions. Waste continued to be managed in such a manner may eventually cause groundwater issues or may
add to leachate discharge offsite. The Approved Operations plan it states, under “Leachate Collection”, that a “Speedy Dry material” will be used to absorb any liquids that collect on concrete pad. Currently this is almost virtually impossible plan for addressing the leachate issues onsite, both on and off the concrete pad. 15A NCAC 13B .0405 (a)(2) - Groundwater and Surface Water Requirements. The site shall prevent the release of leachate and contaminants to groundwater and surface water and shall not cause an exceedance of the groundwater quality standards in 15A NCAC 02L or the surface water quality standards in 15A NCAC 02B. In the event of a release of leachate or contaminants to the environment, the site shall comply with 15A NCAC 02L. 15A NCAC 13B .0405 (b) - Water that comes into contact with solid waste is leachate and shall be collected from the site for disposal to an approved facility or discharged directly from the site into a sanitary sewer line. A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit may be required prior to the discharge of leachate to surface waters, as provided by 40 CFR 258.26 and 258.27, which are incorporated by reference, including subsequent amendments and editions, and may be accessed at www.ecfr.gov at no cost. 15A NCAC 13B .0405 (e)(3) - The access roads shall be of all-weather construction and maintained to be accessible by loaded collection vehicles and by the Division.
The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an
administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit, or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any
such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.

6. Entrance to rear of facility, where tipping floor is, has groups of tires along roadway dumped onto ground. Some tires have been palletized for auction. Loose tires awaiting to be sent to tire processor, should be in
container and covered.

7. Site had approximately 12 containers full of waste onsite, uncovered, that need covers or taken to landfill by end of day. A couple seemed to be new containers and recently painted, good job. However, most of these roll
off containers were rusted along bottom seam and had significant holes in them. This will allow leachate and waste to leak through and fall through. Waste should be removed and put into properly constructed container for storage and transport. Damaged containers should be repaired or removed from service. Site needs proper containers for storage of waste and covers for each if going to be storing waste onsite.
15A NCAC 13B .0405 (a) (11) - Site Cleaning and Maintenance: Unless otherwise stated in the site permit, all waste shall be removed from the tipping floor, the truck loading bays, and from behind push walls by the end of each day of operation and disposed of in accordance with this Subchapter. The tipping floor, push walls, and truck loading bays shall be cleaned with a pressure washer no less than once per month. The remaining areas of the site building including side walls and any material storage areas outside of the building shall be cleaned with a pressure washer no less than twice per year. Wash water generated from cleaning waste handling areas shall be contained and treated as leachate. Cleaning and maintenance records shall be maintained and made available to the Division upon written request. 15A NCAC 13B .0405 (c) - All vehicles and containers being used for the temporary storage of solid waste shall be maintained to be leak-resistant in accordance with Rule .0105 of this Subchapter, or shall be stored so that any leachate from the vehicles or containers will be collected to prevent the release of leachate to the environment. Permit Attachment 3, Part VI, (18) in part says, “Waste may be stored on-site, in leak proof transfer trailers, with watertight covers, a maximum of 24 hours except that a minimal amount of waste may be stored for a maximum of 72 hours when the facility is closed during a weekend or holiday. Storage of the waste must not cause any nuisance, such as odor or attraction of vectors.”
Damaged along seam with rust. Not water tight.

Another rusted seam with whole, possible leachate already collecting around containers. Speedy Dry Mix cannot address this.
8. Approved Operations Plan allows for the grinding of clean wood. Clean wood will be ground on “the pad” and then the ground wood will be containerized and shipped to customer. Conveyor and grinder was not operating during inspection. Some clean wood piles were present from recent operation. Some unapproved waste was present in one of the piles. Be sure and remove all unapproved waste from clean wood grindings. 9. During walk through a battery was discovered in waste on tipping floor. Be sure it goes to the proper recycler and isn’t comingled in waste going to the landfill.
10. Windblown litter was a problem during inspection. Windblown waste must be collected by the end of the day and no windblown waste may be allowed to leave the facility boundary. Permit Attachment 3, Part VI, (18) (e)(ii), in part states, “Windblown materials must be collected by the end of the day and no windblown material may be allowed to leave the facility boundary.”

Windblown litter on ground, in edge of woods and in trees. 11.

13. This facility is not approved to grind construction and demolition debris. Changes to the operations plan and or permit conditions must be submitted to the permitting branch staff for review and approval before commencing. 14. It may be necessary to direct haul waste to the permitted landfill(s) if it isn’t possible to manage it in accordance with the permit and approved operations plans.
