ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. Section Staff David Powell attempted to inspect Snowhill LCID 26L but a fence and locked gate were installed and
block access. Last visit in 2021 by Section staff was to meet with Barnhill Contracting representatives to provide technical assistance on closure of the facility and to consider purchasing/renewing permit for operating. It is understood that sale did not occur. However, site essentially still needs to go through closure requirements. For meeting this requirement, documentation of borings confirming proper cover with engineer certification should be provided. All buffers being met with proper sloping 3:1 on all slopes. Attempts have been made to contact Frank McDonald through emails and phone calls. Owners of landfill should contact David powell to allow access and perform a more through inspection and discuss corrective actions onsite.
2. Any overgrown vegetation should be mowed, and trees larger than 6 inches should be cut, with the root ball removed and proper soil replaced and compacted. Less than 6 inches should be cut down and ensure they don’t return. Ensure all ruts and settled areas over the waste are graded to ensure water is not ponding on top of waste. Edge of Waste (EOW) markers shall be installed. They should be visible from one to the other, suggest tall white PVC pipe. 3. Also, property lines and edge of waste should be permanently marked and visible to ensure that the buffer of 100’ is maintained. A previous inspection, it was noted that it appeared that the buffer “appears to average eighty (80) feet from edge of waste to the property line on the west slope.” Disposal area shall be covered with a minimum of one foot of suitable soil cover sloped to allow surface water runoff in a controlled manner. 4. If this facility wishes to pursue getting a permit for operating in the future, then there are issues that will need to be addressed before operations can commence. A sign must be posted at the entrance in accordance to the rule.

5. As the site is mowed, exposed waste may be discovered. Cover all waste along the toe of the slopes and grade the area in accordance to your approved plans to ensure that water flows away from the waste. Ensure that grading activities do not reduce separation to the seasonal high groundwater table. Side slopes should not exceed a 3:1 ratio. All exposed waste must be covered and provisions for a ground cover sufficient to restrain
erosion. 6. Current access road, if maintained properly, should continue to meet rule requirement. New rule siting requirements are that an access road around the EOW be installed and maintained. 15A NCAC 13B .0564 (7) The site shall establish and maintain an access road around the waste boundary for access by emergency or fire-fighting vehicles and equipment. 15A NCAC 13B .0566 (7) - Access roads shall be of all-weather construction and shall be maintained to allow access by vehicles transporting waste, Department staff, and fire-fighting vehicles. 7. Follow up with Sherri Stanley, Permitting Branch Head, on progress and if anything is needed to finalize the renewal/closure. Contact Information Section Permitting Branch Head Sherri Stanley – [e-mail] / 919 -707 – 8235 office. 8. Corrective measures are necessary at this site based on observations during this inspection. Corrective measures should be completed within 60 days from receipt of this inspection. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
