The Permit to Operate Phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 was issued July 9, 2015 and shall expire July 25, 2021. Construction of Phase 4A is complete. Per Condition #13 in Part III of Attachment 3 of the Permit a permit amendment should be submitted to the SWS no later than January 25, 2021. 1. The facility is permitted to receive C&D waste, inert debris, asphalt, and land-clearing debris generated within Wake and Johnston counties. 2. The facility is approved to accept 91,250 tons per year or approximately 250 tons per day, based on 365 operating days per year, in accordance with the approved franchise granted by Wake County. 3. The facility is fenced and is secured by a locking gate when it is not open for operation. 4. The correct signage is at the entrance of the facility listing the facility name, permit number and emergency contact information as well as materials accepted at the facility. 5. The facility accepts waste from residents and commercial waste haulers Monday through Friday from 7:30 am until 4:00 pm. Personnel are onsite during operating hours. 6. Records were not reviewed at this inspection. 7. Liz Patterson, Environmental Senior Specialist, and Drew Hammonds, Eastern District Supervisor, with the Division of Waste Management were at the facility to investigate odor complaints. Ms. Patterson and Mr. Hammonds drove Mial Plantation Road and Smithfield Rd, which becomes Pritchard Road as you come to Falls of Norwood, as well as the Riverwood neighborhoods to try and detect odors like those in the recent complaint(s). The smell of landfill gas consistent with a construction and demolition debris landfill was detected onsite. No such odors were detected outside the facility boundary. 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. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 3 of 5 8. The facility is approved to use A2 glass fines from Strategic Materials and Reflective Recycling. The material shall be stored inside the landfill footprint and can be used as road base within the landfill footprint, as alternative cover, and on interior landfill slopes per the approved permit. Any materials stored off the landfill footprint must be containerized to prevent run-off and leachate formation. A2 fines currently stored in the wood processing and mulching area need to be relocated to a storage area inside the landfill footprint or containerized within 14 days of receipt of this report A2 fines stored in the wood processing and mulching area 9. A perimeter road has been established around the entire footprint of the landfill. The perimeter road is being well maintained. 10. Edge-of-waste markers have been installed and are being maintained around the landfill as required. 11. At the time of the inspection it appeared the working face was approaching one-half acre in size. Per 15A NCAC 13B .0542(f)(1), states “(f) Cover material requirements. (1) Except as provided in Subparagraph (3) of this Paragraph, the owners and operators of all C&DLF units must cover the solid waste with six inches of earthen material when the waste disposal area exceeds one-half acre and at least once weekly. Cover must be placed at more frequent intervals if necessary to control disease vectors, fires, odors, blowing litter, and scavenging. A notation of the date and time of the cover placement must be recorded in the operating record as specified in Paragraph (n) of this Rule.” Working face FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 4 of 5 12. The waste type was reviewed and was construction and demolition waste. No unacceptable waste streams were noted. 13. On top of the landfill chicken wire fencing is being used to capture windblown waste and prevent it from leaving the site. This fencing will be relocated as the working face of the landfill moves and when winds shift. Landfill staff are managing windblown waste well onsite and along Smithfield Road. Windblown waste must be collected and returned to the working face prior to close of business daily. 14. Heavy rains have washed out areas and caused some bare spots and erosion on the south side of the landfill that need attention and reseeding. Continue to monitor and control erosion in this area as proper cover is establish. I would strongly recommend taking advantage of the spring planting season. The seeding schedule and associated dates should be reviewed prior to seeding activities beginning. 15. The sediment pond on the south side of the landfill needs cleaning and windblown waste removed. Southern sediment pond in need of cleaning 16. Trees need to be removed from interior side slopes within 30 days. Trees on interior side slopes 17. Wood processing and mulching is occurring in the area designated on the plan drawings. Ensure that positive drainage is maintained at wood waste processing and mulching areas. 18.
