ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. David Powell with the Section inspected the Triple “A” Hauling Transfer station for routine inspection and to
confirm if station was inactive/closing. Gate was open upon arrival and Mr. Powell contacted Kenny Hardin,
owner, and informed of his presence and intent to inspect the station. Mr. Hardin gave permission to enter and
indicated his station has been closed, equipment sold and site not accepting waste since June 2021. Mr. Powell
discussed closing the station with Mr. Hardin and sent him copies of new Transfer Station rules/Ming Chao’s
(Permitting Engineer assigned to Cumberland County) contact information later on 3/31/2022 via email. Mr.
Powell encouraged him to speak with Mr. Chao on closure requirements. Mr. Ming Chaos can be reached at
[phone] or [e-mail].

2. This Transfer Station has not submitted the required Transfer Station Assessment Report in accordance with 15A
NCAC 13B .0401, but Mr. Hardin stated on phone call during inspection, and other times, he intended to close the
Station and it seems this has occurred. Front signage has been removed as well. Transfer Station closure
requirements are found in 15A NCAC 13B .0406. Some of the dates listed in this rule for closure, Mr.
Hardin may already be beyond if the site was closed June 2021. Mr. Chao requested from Mr. Hardin on
3/31/2022 that he submit a closure report including cover page containing facility name, permit number,
contact info including phone #, e-mail address, physical address; the date stop receiving wastes, and the
date of cleanup the site. Once rule .0406 requirements have been satisfied and that information provided
to the Division, a final inspection needs to be done to confirm closure to rule.
