Dear Mr. Bell:
The Solid Waste Section (Section) has completed a review of the Request for Time Extension dated
September 18, 2017 (DIN 28471) and submitted on your behalf by Amec Foster Wheeler for Phase I and
Phase II of the C&D Landfill, Solid Waste Permit Number 7407. In a letter dated January 30, 2017 (DIN
27312), C&D Landfill, Inc. was instructed to begin the groundwater corrective action process by submitting
an Assessment of Corrective Measures for the landfill within 180 days (six months) of receipt of the letter
in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0545(b)(10) and 15A NCAC 13B .0545(c). The Section did not receive
the Assessment of Corrective Measures by the deadline. After an exchange of emails and a telephone
conversation, the Section received a Request for Time Extension dated August 17, 2017 (DIN 28407), and
the request was approved on August 17, 2017 (DIN 28408).
At this time, C&D Landfill, Inc. is requesting an additional 30 days to submit the Assessment of Corrective
Measures. The Solid Waste Section has reviewed the request and approves the Request for Time
Extension dated September 18, 2017 as described. This will be your final 30 day approved extension
request to submit the Assessment of Corrective Measures.
Within 30 days of receipt of this letter, submit the required Assessment of Corrective Measures. The
Assessment of Corrective Measures shall meet all the criteria described in 15A NCAC 13B .0545(c) and in
the Assessment of Corrective Measures portion of the Corrective Action Guidance Document titled NC
Solid Waste Section Guidelines for Corrective Action At Solid Waste Management Facilities. After the
Section reviews the Assessment of Corrective Measures and provides a response letter, C&D Landfill, Inc.
will be required to conduct a public meeting to discuss the Assessment of Corrective Measures in
accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0545(d).
C&D Landfill, Inc. must take all necessary steps to ensure the protection of public health and the
environment. If the Assessment of Corrective Measures is not submitted, C&D Landfill, Inc. may be
entered into Tiered Enforcement in order to come into and/or to 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.
