ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. The facility is a Small Type III Solid Waste Compost Facility, which was operated as Composting Pilot Project (SWCD-95-01) prior to the issuance of the permit. The compost facility is operated to compost dewatered septage, including and grease septage. 2. The facility is at the same location as a permitted Septage Detention and Treatment Facility (Permit SDTF-95-01). The two facilities share the same entrance/gate and access roads. 3. Active composting is not being done at this time and there was no compost in the curing bays. According to the company, no composting is currently being done at this time. De-watered septage (including grease septage) is mixed with wood chips and temporarily stored on a pile before final disposal at the Foothills Landfill (NC Solid
Waste Permit No. 14-03). 4. Leachate is still being generated from the storage pile even though composting is not being done. No leachate
was observed leaving the area. The leachate collection and pumping system must be kept in good working order even if no compost is being produced. 5. The access road was well maintained with a locked gate. A “NO TRESPASSING” sign was posted at the site entrance.
