ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The facility consists of a MSWLF and a drop-off convenience area for residential waste.
2. The facility is permitted to receive solid waste generated from within the States of North Carolina and South Carolina, consistent with the local government waste management plan and with the franchise approved by the Anson County Board of Commissioners. The facility must not receive solid waste from transfer stations that
accept solid waste generated in states other than North Carolina and South Carolina. 3. Proper signage was observed at the entrance of the facility. 4. The site visit included a pre-operational meeting for Phase 4, Cell 1 with the Solid Waste Section-Permitting Branch and facility staff. Operations Inspection of the MSWLF: 5. Waste was being placed in Phase 3, Cell 2. 6. The facility is permitted to use a tarp, automobile shredder fluff mixed with soil, petroleum contaminated soil and seaboard solids as alternative cover material. 7. The facility utilizes three tippers. As a reminder, all waste should be removed from around the tippers each day and covered applied accordingly. 8. Edge of waste markers were being maintained. 9. Access roads were well maintained.
10. The woody vegetation on Phase 1 of the MSWLF needs to be removed. 11. While on site, the use of automobile shredder fluff as alternative cover was discussed between Section and facility staff. As discussed, the current manner of use conflicts with previous approvals in that stormwater runoff in the area is not being managed by the berm at the base of the slope to prevent runoff into the unlined stormwater basin. If the facility wants to continue to use automobile shredder fluff in this area adequate stormwater/wastewater controls must be in
place. The repair or replacement of the berm between the current working area on Phase 3, Cell 2 and future Phase 5 was discussed with facility staff during the previous site visit on 9/1/2022. 12. A follow up inspection will be conducted to address the outstanding cover violation.

The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. 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 from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.
