P.O. Box 414
Mt. Holly, NC 28120
SUBJECT: Notice of Deficiency
Compliance Inspection Report
Old 27 LCID Landfill
Permit #: 36A
Gaston County
Dear Mr. McCorkle:
On October 19, 2021, Kim Sue, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste Management Solid
Waste Section, inspected the above referenced facility for compliance with North Carolina solid waste statutes
and rules. Dwayne McCorkle, Jr. was present and represented Old 27 LCID Landfill during this inspection. The
following violation was noted:
A. 15A NCAC 13B .0201(c) states: "No solid waste management facility shall be established, operated,
maintained, constructed, expanded, or modified without a valid permit issued by the Division for the specified
type of activity. It is the responsibility of every owner or operator of a proposed solid waste management facility
to apply for a permit for the facility. The term "owner" shall include record owners of the land where the facility
is located or proposed to be located and holders of any leasehold interest, however denominated, in any part of
the land or structures where the facility is located or proposed to be located."
The permit for Dwayne E. McCorkle, Old 27 LCID Landfill was issued on September 2, 2016. At the time of
inspection, no permit renewal request or subsequent information had been submitted to the Division.
Therefore, Old 27 LCID Landfill is in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0201(c) for operating a solid waste
management facility without a current valid permit.
The above violations may have or can compromise the facility's ability to ensure protection of the public health
and the environment and thus require remedial action on behalf of the facility in order to maintain compliance
with 15A NCAC 13B .0201(c). Based upon the foregoing, Dwayne E. McCorkle shall come into compliance by
November 30, 2021 with all requirements of the regulations in 15A NCAC 13B .0201(c) by completing the
following at the Old 27 LCID Landfill:
1. Submit a complete permit renewal application to include an updated site plan and operational plan to the
Solid Waste Section for review. All permit request and subsequent information must be submitted to:
