On March 13, 2023, the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section (Section)
issued a Notice of Violation letter to Macon County regarding violations at Macon County Landfill. The Solid
Waste Section conducted follow-up inspections of the site on July 25, 2023 and September 18, 2023. Due to
the fact that the violations noted in the March 13, 2023 letter have 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 letter 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 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.
We solicit your cooperation and would like to avoid taking further enforcement actions. At the same time, it is
your responsibility to comply with the requirements of the General Statutes and/or the North Carolina
Administrative Code. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact meat 828-296-
