C. General Statues Article 9 of Chapter 130A, and the rules adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. 1. The Marshall Steam Station Industrial Landfill No. 1 is constructed on a Coal Combustion By-Products structural fill built in accordance with the requirements specified in North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 13B .1700 which is utilized as subgrade to the landfill. This structural fill is identified as CCB0072. 2. The Permit and Operations Plan are maintained on-site as required and were reviewed during the inspection. The permit shall expire March 7, 2026.

The facility is operated by Charah, Inc. which is responsible for hauling materials to the landfill, daily operations of the landfill, and conducting other associated activities. 4. All required quality assurance compaction testing (Field Density) appears to be complete, and within expected perameters. These records are maintained by Charah, Inc. 5. Weekly logs of onsite inspections are maintained documenting monitoring and maintenance of storm water conveyance systems, erosion and sedimentation controls, and status/confirmation of repairs. 6. Leachate is sampled semiannually from dedicated sample ports located on the leachate collection system. Access to the sampling ports for Cell 1 and Cell 2 and the areas surrounding the ports were well maintained. Semi-annual leachate sampling records were reviewed during the inspection. The sampling was conducted 8/3/16 and 2/20/17 as required. 7. Leachate line cleaning was accomplished on 2/14/17; two areas were identified for follow up cleaning (the follow- up was already scheduled to occur during July 2017). The Operations Plan states that” LCS pipes will be cleaned out by the use of a clean-out snake or high-pressure water flushing at least once a year, and the LCS piping will remote-camera monitored if cleaning indicates a blockage in the leachate collection system pipes.” 8. Leak detection records were reviewed during the inspection. Leachate collection system and detection system flow readings were conducted monthly as required. No leakage rate exceedances were documented in the records reviewed. Once the landfill reaches 40 feet the flow readings will be conducted quarterly. 9. Dust Control records were reviewed during the inspection. The records were complete and well documented. 10. NPDES permit was issued on 9/9/2016 and expires 9/30, 2021.

Landfill Operations have resumed as of October 2015 and waste is currently being placed in Phase 1, Cells 1 and 2. Phase 1, Cells 3 and 4 are under construction with completion scheduled for December 2017.
