ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. The purpose of this inspection was to visit the yard waste area for a follow up after a fire was reported on
3/26/2022 and the corrective actions for last inspections observed violations. Transfer Station Permit has a yard waste section, while that area is mostly addressed through its yard waste notification YWN-77-001. Yard waste area is still smoldering and smoking. Corrective actions are needed for the YW area still and now the ash that will be remaining, once fire is under control. Yard waste area will be addressed in the YWN inspection report for YWN-77-001. 2. C and D comingled waste has been removed from area behind office building as requested. Waste was sent to Uwharrie landfill and weight tickets from Richmond County weight station provided and photos of the excavation and the finished work. Mr. Leggett removed all waste back until clean fill was reached and soil. The area was replaced with soil and compacted, grass seeded, and erosion control measures installed.

4. A new Temporary Disaster Debris Site (TDDS) site was close to being finalized last year. Mr. Leggett is still
awaiting the Sections requested documents for crossing over the railroad structure/gas line and property during the event of an emergency and the site becomes activated to receive waste. Please continue to follow up and get the requested information and submit ASAP. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report. ________________________________________ Phone: [phone] _ David Powell Environmental Senior Specialist Regional Representative
