We understand from Mecklenburg County Solid Waste staff that a new notice of violation was issued on February 7 to Wallace Farm as a result of odor investigations on three separate days in January. Wallace Farm has thirty days to submit a report to the County documenting actions taken to achieve compliance with the applicable State Solid Waste rules and the operational changes the facility will implement to reduce odors.
