FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 3 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: 1)The YW notification was submitted on July 2, 2015 and is current at the time of the sending of this report. The last notification was last submitted in 2011. The Town of Edenton must submit a YW notification annually as required. 2) The property owner is the Town of Edenton parcel ID # 689500134466 and is recorded in Deed Book 154 Page 888. 3) The facility appears to be getting little management. Clean loads of leaves can be passively composted in "static piles" which require minimum management. Davidson said plans are to bring a bulldozer to the site shortly and place the material into static piles. Temperatures should be checked to prevent spontaneous combustion and require turning annually. There should be a separate pile for each year. Composting normally takes from six to twelve months. It is best to collect leaves and other yard waste separately. 4) Large volumes of grass clippings and waste with a low carbon nitrogen ratio will need to be composted as is listed in item 4. 5) Yard waste facilities shall follow the time and temperature requirements listed in 15A NCAC 13B .1406(10) for all yard trash feed stocks. The temperature requirements include the compost process being maintained at or above 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees F) for 3 days and aerated to maintain elevated temperatures. Yard trash is defined within 130A-290(a)(45) as solid waste consisting solely of vegetative matter resulting from landscaping maintenance. Leaves from landscaping maintenance and grass clippings are considered yard trash. 6) Brush and woody waste should be piled separately for future grinding. 7) An end user needs to be found for composted yard waste and any ground mulch so that it is not left permanently on the site. 8) Keep any waste other than yard waste or vegetative debris out of the facility. There was very little unapproved waste on this site. 9) Keep the yard waste area well drained. 10) Control access to the site to keep citizens from dumping waste in the facility.
