Town of Waynesville
Routine
Inspection Summary:
Melanie Kemp, with the Asheville Regional Office, conducted a review of the Town of Waynesville’s 2023 DCAR Annual
Report to determine whether the facility processed and monitored all residuals in compliance with Permit No. WQ0013116.
The Town appears to be operating the program in compliance with all requirements of their DCAR Permit. The Town reported
“no distribution” for 2023 and has not distributed since 2019 due to issues with solids handling equipment. All residuals
were hauled to the White Oaks Landfill located at 3898 Fines Creek Rd in Waynesville. The Town has indicated they only
plan to process Class A residuals as requested by customers. It currently costs the Town more to generate a Class A
product than to dispose of in the landfill.
