RE: Notice of Continuing Violation
Wall Recycling – Garner Road Transfer Station and Mixed Waste Processing Facility
Permit #9242-MWP-2020
2126 Garner Road
Raleigh, NC 27610

Dear Mr. McGowan,

On July 27, 2022, the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section
(Section) issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to Wall Recycling, LLC regarding violations at Wall
Recycling – Garner Road Transfer Station and Mixed Waste Processing Facility located at 2126
Garner Rd, Raleigh, NC in Wake County. The Solid Waste Section conducted a follow-up
inspection of the facility on October 12, 2022. During this inspection, it was determined that the
violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0405 (b) and PTO, Attachment 3, Part VI, 20 (a) and (b) has been
resolved in that concrete berms were installed at the transfer trailer loading bay entry and exit
points, the unlined trench drain has been filled and sealed with concrete, and a sampling plan
was submitted and executed. However, during this inspection, it was also determined that C&D
waste is continuing to be dumped and processed outside of the building and without cover. Due
to the fact that the violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0403, 15A NCAC 13B .0405, and Section 3.1 of the
MWP & Transfer Station Operations Plan noted in the July 27, 2022 letter has not been corrected
at this time, you are hereby notified that the Section intends to move forward in the enforcement
process. In order to potentially abate any further action forthcoming, it is recommended that the
corrective actions listed in the NOV be taken immediately upon receipt of this notice.

Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day
may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit,
or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or
all responsible parties may also be subject to enforcement actions including penalties, injunction
