Facility is secured by a fence and gate. Permit Attachment 3, Part 1, 11 - Signs must be posted at the entrance to the facility that state that no hazardous waste, regulated PCB waste, or liquid waste can be received at the facility; and that provide information on dumping procedures, the hours of operation, the permit number, and other pertinent information. Traffic signs or markers must be provided as necessary to promote an orderly traffic pattern to and from the discharge area and to maintain efficient operating conditions. 5. Windblown waste was not an issue during inspection. Site was clean. Good job. Site has a maintenance program, in which, a contractor comes in addition to onsite staff and periodically grades rock road and yard, does trash pickup, mowing, and windblown.

Perimeter fence has silt fence added to help contain windblown each day and make easier to pick up. Good job being proactive. Trailer staging area has rock built up where rear tires go to make rear end of trailer higher than front. This helps a lot with ensuring leachate doesn’t leak out of trailers. No trailers were leaking during visit, good job. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 6 of 9 7. Station uses Stella and Hilco. Hilco to remove recycled waste to Sonoco, Raleigh, NC, and Stella for MSW waste to Sampson County LF. 8. Leachate drains on tipping floor were blocked during site visit. Leachate is piped to a tank that is pumped and hauled by Safety Clean, St Paul’s NC. This is done about twice a year. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 7 of 9 9. Tipping floor was busy but well organized. MSW on left and recyclable cardboard on right. Behind push walls there was a small amount of trash, which should be cleaned up as needed but at least daily. Behind push wall, needs cleaning. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 8 of 9 10. Diverters were recently taken down due to damage and it was a safety concern. Mr. Hatmaker communicated with Mr. Powell about this change before inspection. Discussions on site were for GFL to speak with consultant/engineer on how to replace or to choose another means for this setup in the loading bay. Mr. Powell, with onsite staff, reviewed Permit/Ops plan while onsite for any related requirements for keeping the diverters as designed and they could not find any. Mr. Powell reminded GFL staff that before any changes in operations or design of the onsite facility communicate with NCDEQ permitting to ensure this doesn’t contradict any rules or requirements before any action takes place. 11. Partial removal of the diverters allows for waste falling or being pushed over on the tipping floor to not be funneled into the trailer. It is causing trash to build up around trailer and it must be cleaned up more frequently, about every 3 or 4 trailers. The discussion onsite was that a bobcat is used to clean up the loading bay each time to have a faster turnaround. Mr. Powell suggested a more permanent solution to the diverters should be determined and implemented soon but communicate with NCDEQ once an idea was approved by GFL/City. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 9 of 9 12. No odors during inspection. Dust was not an issue. 13. Mr. Hatmaker indicated there have been no fires, leachate runoffs or emergencies since last inspection. 14. Please keep Mr. Powell informed of any change to the facility structure surrounding the loading bay diverter. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report. ________________________________________ Phone: 910-433-3350 _ David Powell Environmental Senior Specialist Regional Representative Sent on: 12/21/2021 X Email Hand delivery US Mail Certified No. [ _] Copies: Drew Hammonds, Eastern District Supervisor - Solid Waste Section
