ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
On September 28, 2023, Chuck Kirchner met with Gary Smith, Josh Holt and Alan Idol to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the City of Burlington Yard Waste Facility Notification – Anthony Road Site off Anthony Road in Burlington, Alamance County. 1. The yard waste facility notification (YWN) is owned by the City of Burlington. It is located adjacent to the Anthony Road Closed Landfill (closed pre-1983, NONCD0000106) and abuts the City of Burlington Temporary Debris Staging Storage and Recovery Site (TDSR, DS01-008). 2. The YWN is located on the right off Anthony Road (traveling from NC 62), via a gravel road prior to Lear Drive. 3. The site is not open to the public. It is accessed by City of Burlington personnel.
4. The area used for the YWN is less than 2 acres. 5. The YWN site is used to compost leaves. 6. The City of Burlington primarily collects leaves from late October through February.
7. During the inspection, there were no windrows of leaves/compost on site. 8. Ensure processed and unprocessed material on site is less than 6000 yd³ quarterly if the site is used again. 9. If city leaves or grass clippings (yard trash) are collected at this site the city shall maintain temperature records as
discussed in the field. Records shall indicate that PFRP was achieved prior to composted material being released to the public. 10. Windrow dimensions on site should be approximately a height of 12 feet and a width of 25 feet and maintain fire access around mulch pile. 11. Appropriate buffer shall be maintained between the YWN and the closed landfill.
12. The Solid Waste Section must receive your yard waste facility notification renewal form by June 1st of each year. If your facility only processes and stores less than 6,000 cubic yards of the following materials on a quarterly basis, you can continue to operate by notifying the Section on an annual basis by June 1st of each year. A permit is required prior to processing and storing over 6,000 yards per
quarter or expanding the facility greater than 2 acres in size. If you plan to increase composting
activities to more than 6,000 cubic yards quarterly or exceed 2 acres in size please contact the Solid Waste Section for assistance in obtaining a permit. 13. Open burning of waste is prohibited on site. 14. Fires shall be reported to the Division orally within 24 hours of the incident and in writing within 15 days of the incident. 15. The area allotted for the conditionally approved TDSR, DS01-008, did not contain any material. 16. Access roads are of all-weather construction. 17. The site is secured by a metal gate with lock.

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.
