STATUS OF PERMIT:
Permit to construct the Old 27 LCID Landfill was issued to Dwayne E. McCorkle on April 11, 2011. The permit to
operate expired on October 21, 2015. However, a permit application for renewal was received by the Solid Waste
Section on March 14, 2016.

PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT:
Operational Inspection

STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
1. RESOLVED: 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 13B .0566(1) requires, in part, that “Operational plans
shall be approved and followed as specified for the facility.” Item 6 of Attachment 3 of the “Permit to Construct and
Operate” dated April 11, 2011 (DIN 13403) states “the permanent markers that accurately delineate the waste
boundary must be maintained.”

During the inspection, waste boundary markers were observed indicating the limits of waste for the 9.21-acre
footprint of the landfill.

2. CORRECTIVE MEASURE IN PROGRESS: 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 13B .0203(d) states:
“By receiving solid waste at a permitted facility, the permittee(s) shall be considered to have accepted the conditions
of the permit and shall comply with the conditions of the permit.”

Facility Specific Permit Condition #11 of the Permit to Operate states: “Solid waste must be covered with 1 foot of
suitable soil cover at least once per month or when the active area reaches 1 acre in size, whichever occurs first,
or more often when necessary to prevent the site from becoming a nuisance or to mitigate conditions associated
with fire, windblown materials, vectors or excessive water infiltration.”

During the inspection, it was observed that the facility was in the process of applying soil cover to the waste
exposed along the southern slope and toe of the eastern slope of the lower shelf of the inactive landfill. Some
areas need additional cover and those areas were pointed out to Mr. McCorkle Jr.

To achieve compliance, all side slopes must have adequate soil cover by December 27, 2016. A follow up
inspection will be performed to confirm all exposed waste has adequate soil cover in accordance with the
approved permit.

3. CORRECTIVE MEASURE IN PROGRESS: 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 13B .0566(4) states:
“Adequate soil cover shall be applied monthly, or when the active area reaches one acre in size, whichever occurs first.”

During the inspection, it was observed that the facility was in the process of applying soil cover to the exposed
waste along the southern slope and toe of the eastern slope of the upper shelf of the active landfill. The active
area was less than one acre in size.

To achieve compliance, all side slopes must have adequate soil cover December 27, 2016. A follow up
inspection will be performed to confirm all exposed waste has adequate soil cover in accordance with the
approved permit.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. This was a follow up inspection for the 6-21-16 comprehensive inspection to inspect the observed violations.
2. The waste slopes were vertical and it was discussed the finished side slopes need to be at 3:1 and all exposed
waste needs to be covered.
3. Some erosion was observed in the roadway to the lower area. This was pointed out to Mr. McCorkle Jr. to
make repairs and maintain the roadway.
