ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. Section staff David Powell inspected the Town of Carthage Yard Waste Notification (YWN) for a follow up on
corrective actions given during las visit.
2. A Yard Waste Notification is a Small Type 1 facility. It shall have an operations area less than two acres in size and shall be limited to no more than 6,000 cubic yards’ material onsite at any given time, including finished product. Rules were readopted in late 2019 15A NCAC 13B .1400’s rules for Small Type 1 Compost facilities (Yard Waste Notifications). A review of the new rule changes would be good for any staff dealing with the YWN. Yard waste cannot remain in the notification for disposal. If not using for approved processes, then must remove to a disposal site for that waste type. A YWN is for staging, processing and composting. Facility cannot give waste out to public without meeting requirements of 15A NCAC 13B .1406 rules. Rules were sent to Mr. Brandon “BB” Brown and Mr. Allen Smith on 7/28/2021 via email.

3. Gate was repaired and being utilized. Signage was present. Good job.

4. YW onsite was windrowed and had good shape and separation. Good job.

5. Edge of Waste (EOW) markers were in place in all 4 corners. Good job. It was suggested to use large white PVC for visibility. Current small wooden stakes will easily be overtaken by surrounding vegetation. These should be visible for inspector to see as well as any future operators or staff working the YWN.

6. Be sure and continue to record temperatures and log them for future inspections. Reference 15A NCAC 13B .1406 OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SOLID WASTE COMPOST FACILITIES section
for small type 1 compost facilities. Basically explains the requirement of having the compost reach 131 degrees F for at least 3 consecutive days before it can go out to public.

7. If the Town is still considering to close the YWN, and replacing it with a roll off container that will be periodically picked up by a contractor and taken to landfill, be sure and contact Mr. Powell beforehand. The Yard Waste
notification will need to have all waste removed, utilized according to rules, and go through a closure. The roll off container will need to be covered and be water tight. This will prevent leachate from the container and minimize the wind from removing the waste. Once Mr. Allen gets approval for this idea with Town, contact David Powell and he can assist with closing the YWN. Town may want to give the new process a trial run before closing YWN and loosing that ability until sure it will work to the needs of the Town.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
