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) 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.
5) 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 until the refrigerant is extracted.
Upon extraction, the whitegoods are marked with an X and placed into the collection bays until hauled to the
metal recycling Facility. *Please continue to ensure that all Freon containing white goods are maintained in an
upright condition until the Freon is properly collected for recycling.
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 the NC DEQ Division of Marine
Fisheries.
7) Electronics are collected and maintained on a concrete pad adjacent to the maintenance shop. *The electronics
collection area is in need of attention. Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance Inspection
Report, 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.
8) Used oil filters placed on an oil drain tote system and stored in the collection area until removed from the site
by the oil recycler. 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.
9) Used batteries are collected and stored on a pallet next to the used oil collection area until removed from the
site for recycling.
10) 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.
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) 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. *Within thirty days of receipt of this Facility Compliance
Inspection Report, please 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.

15) 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.
16) Scrap concrete, concrete block, and brick 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. If the required volume of materials is not re-used within
twelve months, then the materials must be properly disposed at a Facility permitted to receive such wastes.
17) *Corrective measures are required as a result of this Facility Compliance Inspection.
