ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The facility is a LCID landfill that was originally permitted by Wake County under a memorandum of understanding. The
current permitting authority is the DEQ -Solid Waste Section (SWS). A permit modification was issued by NCDENR
(now DEQ) on December 8, 2011. This Permit to Operate expires December 8, 2016. The facility permit renewal
application was submitted to the SWS on November 3, 201 and is currently under review.

1. As an LCID landfill the facility is allowed to receive land clearing waste; yard trash; untreated and unpainted
wood; uncontaminated soil; inert debris such as unpainted rock, brick, concrete, and concrete block; and asphalt
in accordance with NCGS 130-294(m).

2. The facility is secured with a gate during hours of non-operation. The posted operating hours are 8am-5pm,
Monday through Friday. The facility has proper signage.

3. Operations were discussed with Mr. Blackwell.

4. The facility currently segregates different materials for treatment and processing. Land clearing waste consisting
of stumps and logs was the primary material observed on-site.

5. The facility tracks incoming loads on individual tickets. Each load ticket lists the company of the hauler, the
driver name, date, and the signature of the driver.

6. No unpermitted waste was noted during inspection. Unpermitted material such as treated wood and other
miscellaneous construction debris are removed from the incoming waste for proper disposal at a permitted
facility.

7. The facility pad/landfill cap appeared to be in good condition. No holes, ruts, or areas of ponding were
observed. No erosion or runoff was observed.

8. Ensure that ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion is established within 30 working days or 120 calendar days
upon completion of any phase of landfill development. Eastern slopes had been recently mowed. Mr. Blackwell
indicated that reseeding of any bare spots and side slopes would occur when the weather becomes favorable for
new groundcover.

9. Edge of waste markers need to be installed and maintained while the landfill is in operation.

10. The haul road is being well maintained
