1) Location/Directions: Anson County Waste Management Facility is located at 375 Dozer Drive,near
Polkton,NC,Anson County.
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 between NC DMV office building and bridge over Brown Creek. Go approx 0.4 mile and the
landfill office is on the right.
Safety: Helmet, safety boots and safety vest is required when near the working face of the landfill. The
principal hazards are from truck traffic and falls/sprains from walking on the uneven ground.

2) Description:The Anson Waste Management Facility(AWMF) is a municipal solid waste(MSW)
landfill located in the town of Polkton, Anson County, North Carolina. The landfill began accepting
waste in 2001. The facility installed a voluntary gas collection and control system in order to control
odor,to minimize landfill gas migration, to allow the facility to build carbon credits, and to pursue
gas-to-energy projects. The initial Air Quality permit was a state issued Synthetic Minor Permit for a
waste gas flare because at that time the design capacity was less than Title V thresholds. On
September 24, 2013 the facility as issued the initial Title V permit.
The design capacity of this facility is currently greater than the NSPS, Subpart WWW, applicability
threshold of 2.5 million cubic meters by volume and 2.5 million megagrams by mass. The facility
performed Tier 2 testing on December 15, 2011 and the results indicated that the NMOC emissions
were below 50 megagrams per year(threshold to require a mandatory gas collection and control
system). The Tier II results indicated an additional 5 year, with no GCCS requirement by Air
Regulations NSPS thm 2017. At that time facility may chose to perform additional test to further
defer a required GCCS.
3) Current throughputs: The facility is currently accepting MSW at an average rate of 1400-1500
TPD. This is relatively low, some larger MSW Landfills accept 3000 to 4000 TPD. The average LF
Gas Flow rate was recorded at 350 cfm during this inspection. That was about the same flow when the
facility tested out of a required GCCS in December 2011.

5) Inspection Conference: On 17 Oct 2013, I,Mitchell Revels met with the Mr.David Jones,Facility
Operator. He indicated that he had been at this facility since around February 2013. We discussed
the following:
a) Verified the contacts based on FACFINDER printout.
b) We discussed that the facility had been recently, as of Sept 2013, issued the initial TV permit.
I indicated that he should review that permit and contact me if he has any questions or
comment. He stated that he plans to review and complete a calendar program to notify him
of the appropriate compliance requirements contained in this permit.
c) We discussed the waste acceptance rate.
d) The facility presently has 19 operating gas extraction wells,4 leachate clean headers and an
average acceptance rate of 800 TPD.
6) Inspection Summary: Mr. Jones and I,Mitchell Revels tour the LF. The flare was observed
operating at a flow of 350 acfm with no opacity. Mr.Jones indicated that the control system is

engineered to close and not vent to atmosphere (bypassing control device) during flare downtime.
This was verified by observing the physical design of the system(no bypass vent and auto shut-off
valve). The wellheads appeared to be well maintained and no LF gas odor was detected, a good
indication of no leaks. The LF flow recorder was observed and recording around 350 acfm. I
indicated that when the GCCS is required by NSPS,the complete system will need to meet all
requirements and gas flow recording is included as a requirement. This facility will also be subject to
NESHAP AAAA when it surpasses the 50 Mg/year NOMC. Note: The Anson County Waste
Management Facility has tested-out of the required GCCS thru 2016.
7) Stipulation Review for Section 2- Specific Limitations and Conditions:
a. 15A NCAC 2D 0524 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart WWW: New Source Performance
Standards For Municipal Solid Waste Landfills
This facility is subject to NSPS WWW, however in December 2011,the facility
_ performed a Tier 2 Test as outlined in 60.754 that deferred the requirement of a
GCCS. DAQ approved the test on April 19. 2012. The calculated NMOC emissions
report indicated that the facility will not be required to install an engineered GCCS
before 2016. The facility submitted a 5 year report demonstrating compliance.
Therefore, an annual report is not required. The calculated NMOC for the fifth year
in 2016 is 20.69 Mg/vr NMOC at a flow rate of 800 scfm. The facility is required to
evaluate or re-test after 2016 to demonstrate when the NMOC will exceed 50 Mg/vr.
When 50 My/3T of NMOC is exceeded the facility will no longer have a volunteer
GCCS and will be required to meet the additional requirement of NSPS WWW, like
monitoring the gas well surface scans and gas well expansion every five year at
minimum. Presently the facility has a volunteer GCCS consisting of 19 gas wells
and 4 leachate cleanout headers routed to the flare.
The facility is required to submit a summary report of the monitoring and
recordkeeping activities by Jan. 30, 2014.
Appears in Compliance- The Tier 2 test approved April 2013 indicates that the
facility is in compliance. This condition will be re-evaluated each year during
compliance inspection of the facility.
b. SULFUR DIOXIDE CONTROL REQUIREMENT -As required by 15A NCAC 213 .0516
"Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources," sulfur dioxide emissions from Flare
(ID No. CD-1) shall not exceed 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat input.
Appears in Compliance. The AP42 emission factor for flare combustion of MSW landfill
gas is equivalent to natural gas at 0.006 lbs/mmBtu.
c. VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT-As required by 15A NCAC 2D .0521
"Control of Visible Emissions," visible emissions from Flare(ID No. CD-1), manufactured
after July 1, 1971, shall not be more than 20 percent opacity when averaged over a six-minute
period,except that six-minute periods averaging not more than 87 percent opacity may occur
not more than once in any hour nor more than four times in any 24-hour period.However,
sources which must comply with 15A NCAC 2D .0524 'New Source Performance
Standards" or.1110 "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants" must

Affected Source Toxic Air Pollutant I Emission Limit l
Candlestick flare(CD-1) Hydrogen chloride(7647 01-0) 0.471b/hr
Appears in Compliance. Modeling was based on LANDGEM-generated flow rates and
indicated less than 7% AAL.
e. TOXIC AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS LIMITATION REQUIREMENT -Pursuant to 15A
NCAC 2Q .0711 "Emission Rates Requiring a Permit,"for each of the below listed toxic air
pollutants (TAPS), the Permittee has made a demonstration that facility-wide actual emissions
do not exceed the Toxic Permit Emission Rates(TPERs)listed in 15A NCAC 2Q .0711.The
facility shall be operated and maintained in such a manner that emissions of any listed TAPS
from the facility, including fugitive emissions,will not exceed TPERs listed in 15A NCAC
2Q .0711.
_ The Permittee shall maintain records of operational information demonstrating that the TAP
emissions do not exceed the TPERs as listed below:
Appears in Compliance. Per the permit review and Toxic evaluated in 2007,HCL emission
is about 6.7 %of AAL based on 2000 cfm burned. Therefore,under normal operation,
around 400 cfm this MSW landfill cannot be exceed Toxic limits.
S) Reporting requirements: Semi-annually to summarize the recordkeeping and monitoring
activities will begin 7an.2014.
9) 112R Status:Typical MSW landfill does not use or store chemical compounds subject to
requirement for a written RMP.
10) Comments and Compliance Statement: Facility appears in compliance based on inspection
and NSPS W W W Tier 2 test approved April 2013.
11) 5 Year Compliance History: None
