Dwayne McCorkle, Jr. was present and represented Old 27 LCID Landfill during this inspection.

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.

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.
