YW has been stockpiled on western side of road access. Fire breaks are needed. Unapproved wastes very minimal during inspection. Traffic control measures were being implemented as well as signage explaining acceptable wastes and unacceptable wastes. Ms. King indicated it was time for mulcher company to come. Be sure and put fire breaks and to keep within the approved map area of 2 acres, approved in 2020. Edge of Waste (EOW) markers are in place in couple areas, however the limits of the 2-acre approved area should be marked with permanent markers and meet buffers. A surveyor or engineer can be utilized to ensure proper placement according to approved plans/maps/buffers. Recommend large white PVC pipe.

Also, remember waste cannot be in water, so manage accordingly. Site should be graded to allow for positive drainage of water away from the waste storage and processing area. When this material is mulched and moved, take advantage of the time to buildup these areas and slope correctly. 5. If any YW is to go out to the public, then it must meet 15A NCAC 13B .1406 temperature rules. Be sure and log the temperatures and keep in logs for future inspections. A lot is taken by 401 Sand for erosion control and bank stabilization on mining slopes. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 4 of 5 6. LCID has had most waste covered but still needs additional cover. Solid waste must be covered with 1-foot of suitable soil cover at least once per month or when the active area reaches 1 acre in size, whichever occurs first, or more often when necessary to prevent the site from becoming a nuisance or to mitigate conditions associated with fire, windblown materials, vectors, or excessive water infiltration. Additional soil was present for cover and addressing any erosion. No unapproved wastes were visible. Good job. Working face, need additional cover, sloping. 7. Shrubs and trees should be removed on older cells and anywhere inside limits of the disposal area. EOW markers needed updating and to be installed around the entire the limits of LCID, all cells. Any waste disposal outside of the approved area or inside buffers should be removed inside the appropriate area and properly, covered, compacted, and sloped 3:1. Older cell with tree, no EOW marker. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 5 of 5 Additional trees and no corner EOW marker. 8. Animal carcass area has two designated areas on an approved map. Be sure that the carcasses make it to those designated areas only. Marking these areas with EOW markers is also needed. 9. An attendant should be on duty at all times while the landfill/YW area is open for public use to assure compliance with operational requirements and to prevent acceptance of unauthorized wastes. It is recommended that facility staff accompany customers to the LCID, YW and the animal carcass areas when dumping to better screen waste to ensure only acceptable waste is received. This would limit unapproved wastes and add more control of where waste is placed onsite. This would also ensure waste it disposed in proper place and for the animal carcass area ensure proper depth and cover is applied. 10. Corrective actions are necessary as result of this inspection. Corrective actions should be completed within 30 days from the date of this inspection report sent. A follow up inspection will be conducted at that time or shortly after. Failure to resolve these matters may result in further enforcement action. 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: 9/21/2022 X Email Hand delivery US Mail Certified No. [ _] Copies: Drew Hammonds, Eastern District Supervisor - Solid Waste Section
