1. DIRECTIONS: From FRO,take Raeford Road, Hwy 401, south to Wagram,—32 miles. Just past
Wagram,turn right onto Old Wire Road(SR 144)to Laurel Hill. Turn right(west)on Highway 74
and go approx. 41 miles. Turn right onto Dozer Drive just after the NC DMV office building,but
before the bridge over Brown Creek. Go approx. 0.4 mile down Dozer Drive and the landfill office is
on the right.
2. SAFETY: The facility requires basic safety equipment, safety shoes and eye protection. A safety
vest is needed in some areas where large motor vehicles are active; however, DAQ inspectors can do
inspection with entering these areas on foot.
3. FACILITY DESCRIPTION: The Anson County Waste Management Facility is a regional
municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill. The facility is currently permitted with a Title V Permit
because the Design Capacity exceeds NSPS, Subpart WWW applicability threshold of 2.5 million
cubic meters by volume and 2.5 million mega grams by mass. The facility has an operating landfill
gas collection and control system (GCCS) which is not required yet by NSPS WWW. The facility
performed Tier 2 testing on December 15, 2011 and the results indicated that the NMOC emissions
were below 50 mega grams per year (threshold to require a mandatory gas collection and control
system). NCAC 2D .2600 requires that source testing requires a protocol submittal to DAQ prior to
the test and a 15-day test date notification to DAQ to allow observation. The protocol was received at
DAQ on 8 September 2016, and approved by DAQ Stationary Source Compliance Branch (Brent
Hall) by letter dated 7 November. The target test date was not given. The 15-day notification was
received by DAQ on 30 November 2016.
4. PURPOSE OF SOURCE TESTING: The facility has elected to perform an additional Tier II test
(EPA Methods 25C and 3C) in an effort to extend the time for officially avoiding the regulatory
requirements of submitting a Design Plan for a required GCCS. However, if this test shows a gas

concentration resulting in NMOC emissions(uncontrolled) greater than 50 Mg/year,the facility is
required to submit a GCCS design plan with PE Seal to install and operate a GCCS as required by
NSPS WWW.
The facility performed Tier 2 testing on December 15,2011 and the results indicated that the NMOC
emissions were below 50 mega grams per year(the threshold to require a mandatory gas collection
and control system)with a calculated emission rate of NMOC of 20.69 TPY for calendar year 2016.
This present Tier 2 will determine the NMOC emissions and the facility shall submit a report
indicating if the facility can test out of the required gccs based on yearly calculation or projected 5-
year calculation.
5. STACK TEST OBSERVATIONS: On 14 and 15 November 2016, I, Mitchell Revels of the
Fayetteville Regional Office, arrived at the facility at 08:30 AM to observe the Tier 2 source test. On
site, I met Tyler Fitzgerald, Facility Manager. Mr. Fitzgerald indicated that 25 probes would be
installed in the waste to extract gas samples. The location of the probes is where waste has been in
place for 2 years and is not influenced by the existing gas collection system. Each probe was drilled
10 feet into the waste and each sampled into canister to ship for lab analysis to determine NMOC
concentration. Also a surface scan was performed to show any gas leaks in the area where the probes
samples were taken as required by NSPS W W W.No leaks were detected. I observed the drilling and
sampling of all 25 probes that was performed by Franklin Engineering. Each sample was taken
individually in stainless steel cans and packaged and shipped. Also 4 samples were taken at the inlet
to the flare. These sample will be analyzed to determine the NMOC concentrate of the LF gas
collected and controlled by the GCCS. The flow at the flare averaged about 565 to 570 cfm with a
methane concentration around 42%,02 concentration around 2.5%and the balance gas around 18%.
6. COMPLIANCE STATEMENT: Based on the protocol, the advance notification date and the
observed test methods, the sampling appears to have been done in compliance with all
requirements. The test results will determine if the uncontrolled NMOC are less than 50megagrams
per year, or if greater than 50 mega grams,the facility is required to submitted a GCCS Design Plan.
