ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1) This Facility is a closed MSW Landfill, Recycling Collection Site, and Temporary Disaster Debris
Management Site.
2) The site is secured by a gate at the Highway 306 entrance. This gate and access road is shared with the
Coastal Environmental Partnership Pamlico County Transfer Station, which is located on the adjacent
property. The gate was open upon my arrival and Facility personnel were on-site at the Landfill and the
Recycling Center during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
3) The Facility access road is of all-weather construction and is being well maintained at this time.
4) A pesticide container collection area is maintained on-site outside of the disposal area. This area appears well

maintained at this time. *Please continue to ensure that all used pesticide containers collected at the site are
maintained within the storage bins and that the bins are maintained in such a way that any liquids leaking
from the containers are contained inside the collection bins.
5) Scrap concrete is staged on-site in an area adjacent to the landfill for future grinding/crushing and re-use.
*Please note that the State rules regarding recovered materials state that for a material to qualify as a
recovered material, the majority of the material (75% or more) must be sold, used, or re-used within twelve
months of staging at the site.
6) An oyster shell recycling bin is maintained separately in an area adjacent to the metal recycling area. Oyster
shells are stored until collected for re-use in oyster habitat enhancement by NC Marine Fisheries.
7) The white goods/scrap metal recycling area was reviewed. All recycling operations are being maintained on
the concrete pad at the eastern end of the landfill.
8) Recyclable metals are separated by type and maintained within separate bays on the concrete pad. All Freon
containing materials are maintained separately from other recyclable metals. *Please continue to ensure that
all Freon containing white goods are maintained in an upright condition until the Freon is properly collected
for recycling.
9) Electronics are collected and maintained on a concrete pad adjacent to the maintenance shop. *The electronics
collection area is in need of attention. All recyclable electronics need to be placed on pallets, shrink-wrapped,
and maintained in an orderly manner on the concrete pad until removed from the Facility for recycling.
10) Used oil is collected and stored in a used oil drum under a shelter with secondary containment until collected
by the used oil recycler. The secondary containment system appeared to be functioning properly during this
Facility Compliance Inspection. *The used oil recycling area is in need of attention. The empty oil containers
and filters need to be collected and either recycled or properly disposed.
11) The Facility monitoring wells were reviewed. All wells were readily accessible, secured with functioning
locks, and properly labeled.

12) A cover-crop of native warm season grasses has been established and overall is well maintained throughout
the landfill.
13) The Facility cover-crop is mowed throughout the growing season as necessary.
14) Several small areas of differential settlement were observed along the southern sideslope. Please continue to
monitor these areas to ensure that they do not collect surface waters. *If the ponding of surface waters is
observed, please fill and grade these areas at a slope not greater than 3:1, and seed and mulch to establish a
groundcover suitable to prevent erosion.
15) Areas of sparse cover were observed along the northern sideslope of the top lift. Erosion is continuing in these
areas due to a lack of a sufficient cover crop. Portions of the problem areas have been repaired. *Please
continue working to repair these areas by filling and grading, and then seeding and mulching to establish a
groundcover suitable to prevent erosion of your landfill cap system.
16) No violations were observed during this Facility Compliance Inspection.
17) *Continued corrective measures are required as a result of this Facility Compliance Inspection.
