ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. Section staff met with Wake County, City of Raleigh, AECOM, and CDM Smith representatives to discuss the area impacted by the leaking residential rolling containers before submittal of their soil removal and sampling plans. 2. The stormwater drainage area in the southeastern section of the facility grounds adjacent to the access road has been cleaned, regraded, and the drain returned to functionality. 3. A large mound of soil topped with vegetation adjacent to the southeastern stormwater drain containing mixed waste
within the soil has been removed and disposed of properly. 4. Significant windblown waste has accumulated along the southern shoulder of the access road in front of the City of Raleigh rolling bin storage buildings. Ensure all windblown waste is picked up and properly disposed of at the end of each operating day. 5. Motor oil and leachate had accumulated on the access road in the transfer trailer cover area and run off onto the adjacent soil. A large number of house flies were observed congregating in this area. Ensure the motor oil and leachate is cleaned up and all transfer trailers are actively inspected for leaks and repaired as needed. The facility operator was in the process of getting staff to address this area when we left. 6. Temporary measures should be installed/implemented to ensure areas/items identified as needing repair or replacement in the Transfer Station Assessment Report function as designed and maintain operational compliance until permanent repairs are completed. 7. All waste shall be removed from the tipping floor, truck loading bays, behind push walls, and from the facility grounds by the end of each day of operation and disposed of properly. The facility operator has implemented more frequent cleaning of the loading bay to reduce the amount of waste leaving this area. 8. The facility should be cleaned in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0405 (a)(11). 9. Digital photographs were taken during the inspection.
