ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1. The facility is permitted as a Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill. Facility operations also include a
treatment and processing area for concrete, asphalt, and brick (CAB). An area adjacent to the active landfill has
been conditionally approved as a temporary debris storage and reduction site (DS34-006).
2. The facility is permitted to receive C&D waste, inert debris, land clearing waste and used asphalt that is
generated in Forsyth County.
Records Review:
3. Copies of facility records were provided by Adam Rickett as requested and were reviewed after the inspection.
4. The life of site Permit to Operate and approved Operation Plan (revised February 2020) are maintained at the
scale house and are available for review upon request.
5. Tonnage records included data for FY 2014-15 through March 31, 2021. A review of the information indicated
that a total of 29,802.50 tons of waste from 16,023 separate loads (trips) were accepted at the facility during the
current fiscal year. These figures represent an average drop of approximately 1,000 tons of waste per month as
compared to FY 2019-20.
6. Facility staff perform quarterly landfill gas monitoring, as required. Copies of landfill gas monitoring data
forms were reviewed for sampling events that occurred on June 2, 2020, August 27, 2020, November 12, 2020,
and February 4, 2021. The sampling logs noted that the scale house and all wells were sampled during each of
these events. A portion of the logs from both the November and February sampling events had been left blank.
A follow-up call with Gordon Dively, Solid Waste Operations Manager, confirmed that all methane readings
had been zero, and that the missing well data had been left off the data forms unintentionally. Mr. Dively
verified that no methane exceedances had been detected during these two sampling events. The logs from the
June and August events were found to be complete, and indicated that no methane exceedances had been
detected. Ensure that all landfill gas monitoring logs are accurate and complete at the time of the
sampling event.
7. Groundwater monitoring takes place semi-annually, as required, and is performed by HDR Engineering.
Reports for the two most recent sampling events had been provided to the Solid Waste Section and were
available online. Reports covering the sampling events for May 5 — 8, 2020 and November 3 — 5, 2020 were
reviewed and verified.
8. A sampling of random waste inspection forms from each month of the current fiscal year were provided for
review as requested. The forms were found to be detailed and complete, including the type and disposition of
unacceptable material identified during the inspection.
9. Copies of current NC SWANA Landfill Operations Specialist training certifications for the following facility
staff were provided for verification:
Clayton Hart — expires February 17, 2023;
Barry Harris — expires March 1, 2023.
In addition, a current SWANA Manager of Landfill Operations certificate was on file for:
Adam W. Rickett — expires August 6, 2023.
Field Inspection of 3412-CDLF-1995:
10. The site is protected from unauthorized access by a perimeter fence and secured by gates that are kept locked
when the facility is closed. Proper signage was noted at the facility entrance.
11. The facility was observed to be clean and well maintained. Windblown litter appeared to be well managed.
12. Access roads are of all-weather construction and were found to be in good condition.
13. The former concrete -asphalt -brick (CAB) collection area, located to the west of the scale house, contained
several small piles of crushed inerts and one small pile of unprocessed CAB material. Mr. Rickett stated that
plans were underway to move fill operations to this portion of the landfill next. He explained that the crushed
material will be used to establish a tipping area, while the unprocessed material will be moved to the new CAB
collection area that had been established on top of the active landfill. Mr. Harris added that new fill would be

placed up against the exterior slope of the existing fill area from both the top and the toe of the slope.
14. A large stockpile of unprocessed inert debris was observed in the new CAB collection area on top of the active
landfill, located west of the access roadway. No unacceptable material was observed in the stockpile. Signage
listing materials that are acceptable in the CAB area had been placed in the unloading area. Mr. Harris stated
that all CAB loads are monitored by facility staff as they are dumped to ensure that unacceptable materials are
sent back to the scale house for re -weighing and returned to the C&D working face for proper disposal. He
added that the facility is in the process of contracting to have the material crushed.
15. The tipping area and working face were located near the northern end of the east side of the landfill. The tipping
area paralleled the west side of the working face and had been well compacted to ensure a stable surface for the
safe maneuvering of vehicles and equipment. The entire operations area was observed to have adequate cover.
A minimal amount of waste was noted in the tipping area, and windblown litter was well -managed. Mr. Rickett
stated that litter collection occurs almost daily as needed. A litter crew was observed collecting windblown trash
during the inspection.
16. The working face was small and well controlled, with soil stockpiles staged strategically in preparation for
applying cover at the end of the workday. Mr. Harris stated that the landfill is fully covered every Friday, in
compliance with 15A NCAC 13B .0542(f)(1). No unacceptable waste was observed in the working face.
17. Edge of waste markers were clearly visible on all areas of the landfill and allowed the identification of the waste
boundary along an unbroken line of sight around the landfill perimeter.
18. The borrow area is located northwest of the waste disposal boundary and was observed from the haul road. No
erosion was evident. Mr. Rickett stated that the borrow area is intended to last through the life of the facility.
19. A small pile of dirt containing waste was observed on the side of the haul road where the turn leading from the
borrow area to the working face is located. Mr. Harris explained that the soil had been pulled from the working
face and temporarily left for future use as cover. Mr. Rickett advised Mr. Harris to move the contaminated soil
pile to the working face. He provided photos following the inspection confirming that the pile had been cleaned
up as required. Ensure that all waste is confined within the landfill disposal boundary and covered at least
once a week, as required.
20. The northeast corner of the landfill had been undergoing repairs to improve drainage and prevent erosion. A
slope drain had been reinstalled; the two basins and the ditch line along the toe of the slope had been cleared of
sediment. All of these erosion control measures appeared to be functioning properly. Seeding was taking place
in this area at the time of the inspection.
21. A berm had been constructed along the top of the eastern slope to direct surface water to the slope drains and
help prevent damage to the newly seeded slope below.
22. The eastern slope of the active portion of the landfill was inspected from the access roadway along the toe of the
slope. No areas of uncovered waste were observed; and, the slope had been graded and prepared for seeding.
Mr. Rickett stated that he expected the seeding to be completed within a few hours.
23. Several groundwater and landfill gas monitoring wells located on the east side of the access road were inspected
and found to be easily accessible and properly constructed and labeled, with locking caps in place as required.
In this area, stormwater outfalls are identified with small numbered red signs. Outfalls were observed to be rip -
rapped and clear, and appeared to be functioning properly.
24. Vegetative cover on the inactive areas of the landfill was well established and well maintained. No trees or
woody growth were observed, and the cap appeared to be intact.
Field Inspection of DS34-006:
25. An area adjacent to a closed section of the landfill has been designated as a temporary disaster debris storage
site (DS34-006) for the county. The available acreage surrounds a closed area of the landfill and can be
accessed from two locations: the landfill perimeter access road, west of the scale house; and, a driveway located
at 722 Friedberg Church Road. A portion of this driveway access is paved; the remainder is grass with a firm
base underneath.
26. A locking gate is used to secure the disaster debris site at the Friedberg Church Road entry point. Access to the
site from the landfill is monitored by scale house staff.
27. The site will require some maintenance prior to activation. The removal of several small trees from the area of

the Friedberg Church Road gate will be necessary to facilitate traffic movement into and out of the site.
Bushhogging of the entire site will also be needed to ensure that edge of waste markers for the closed landfill
are easily identified and to provide visibility for vehicles and equipment operating onsite.
A view of the east side of the landfill, with the active area at background right and the inactive area at foreground left. Near
the center, a portion of the former CAB area, where landfill operations will move next, can be seen. Seeding operations are
visible on the landfill slope.
The approach to the working face is well maintained, and the operations area has adequate cover.
