Date of Signature:
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 flare as the only
source. The facility has an operating landfill gas collection and control system (GCCS) which is not
required yet by NSPS WWW. In 2009 the facility performed a Tier II sampling and tested out of the
GCCS requirement.
4. 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 31 October 2011, and approved by DAQ Stationary Source Compliance Branch (David Hughes)
by letter dated 29 November. The target test date was not given. The 15-day notification was
received by DAQ on 30 November 2011, exactly 15 days prior to the 15 December test.
5. 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. 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 by 22 Sep12.
6. STACK TEST OBSERVATIONS: On 15 December 2011, I, Mitchell Revels of the Fayetteville
Regional Office, arrived at the facility at 09:30 AM to observe the Tier II source test. On site, I met
Tyler Fitzgerald, District Facility Manager. Mr. Fitzgerald escorted me to the flare where Mr. Don
Chastain, Chastain Env. Services prepared to do the sampling. Also on site were William Melton,
AWM and Chris David, RPH. Mr. David performed a methane surface scan (for leaks) while Mr.
Chastain sampled the gas collected by the GCCS. The flow averaged about 280 cfm with a very good
methane cone. around 60%. At the methane concentration around 60 %, at 280 cfm the system was
likely set at optimum conditions for this test. The sampling involved obtaining 4 canisters of landfill
gas from a sample port just before the "knockout pot." The protocol stated that the target flow rate
was between 250 and 2500 CFM. The surface scan for gas leakage showed only one methane hit of
around 350 ppm. The NSPS WWW limit for an action is greater than 500 ppm. .
7. 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 follow-on actions regarding NSPS WWW compliance.

Proposed Test Date:December 15,2011
Tracking No.2011-224ST
Dear Mr.Breeden:
The protocol submittal form(PSF)prepared by Riley,Park,Hayden and Associates,Inc.has been reviewed for non-
methane organic compounds(NMOC)emissions testing and deemed acceptable. The candlestick flare is subject to
40 CFR 60 Subpart W W W Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills.
This is a New Source Performance Standard(NSPS)Tier 2 retest in accordance with 40 CFR 60.754(a)and(b).
According to 60.754(a)(1)(ii)If the calculated NMOC emission rate is equal to or greater than 50 megagrams per
year(Mg/yr), then the landfill owner shall either comply with 60.752(b)(2), or determine a site-specific NMOC
concentration and recalculate the NMOC emission rate using the procedures provided in paragraph(a)(3) (Tier 2)
of this section.
A Tier 2 test was conducted on September 22,2009. The report shows that AWM will exceed the NMOC emission
rate of 50 megagrams per year(Mg/yr)in 2011 by 1.3 Mg/yr. Without conducting an additional Tier 2 retest,AWM
would be required to submit a NSPS Gas Collection and Control System(GCCS)design plan on or before
September 22,2012.
The emission source is a candlestick flare ID No.CD-1. The maximum permitted process rate is 2,500 standard
cubic feet per minute(scfm). The maximum normal operation process rate is 373 scfm. The target process rate is
250 to 2,500 scfm. The source,pollutants,and methods are tabulated below:

The proposed test methods are acceptable for the specified pollutants. Approval of the protocol does not exempt the
tester in any way,from the minimum requirements of the applicable methods. Since no deviations from the
applicable testing methodology were addressed in the test protocol,the testing should be conducted in strict
accordance with the requirements of EPA Methods 3C and 25C.
Any modifications to the applicable test methods remain subject to approval by the Division of Air Quality. Please
insure all relevant process/operating data is included and summarized in the test report. If you have any questions,

Additional Tier 2 retest request(40 CFR 60.754(a) & (b)
Title V Permit No. 09835R00 Facility ID No. 0400052
Dear Mr. Vozzo:
On behalf of Anson Waste Management Facility (AWM); Riley, Park, Hayden &Associates, Inc. (RPH)
submits a request to conduct an additional NSPS Tier 2 retest in accordance with 40 CFR 60.754 (a) &
(b). Justification for the retest along with field sampling protocol, summary of analytical testing
methods, and North Carolina Department of Environment & Natural Resources (NCDENR) protocol
form has been included in this request for your review and approval.
INTRODUCTION
Chambers Development of North Carolina, Inc. owns and operates AWM. AWM operates an active
solid waste management facility that is subject to the requirements of New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS) because the AMW design capacity is > 2.5 million megagrams and > 2.5 million
cubic meters. The facility operates a Gas Collection & Control System (GCCS) under existing Title V
Permit No. 09835R00 that was voluntary installed to control odors and prevent migration landfill gas
(LFG).
SCS Engineers conducted a Tier 2 test on September 22, 2009. The report shows that AWM will exceed
the NMOC emission rate of 50 Mg/yr in 2011 by 1.3 Mg/yr. Without conducting an additional Tier 2
retest, AWM would be required to submit an NSPS GCCS design plan on or before September 22, 2012.
JUSTIFICATION FOR ADDITIONAL TIER 2 RETEST
A determination letter written by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 on December
13, 2002 has set precedence for a facility to conduct an Additional Tier 2 Retest provided that the
facility follows time-lines set forth in 40 CFR 60.752(b)(2)(i) and 40 CFR 6.0.752(b)(2)(ii). A copy of
this determination letter is displayed in Appendix A of this document. The letter indicates that the
facility is allowed to conduct an Additional Tier 2 Retest as long as long as compliance deadlines
associated with the NSPS GCCS Design Plan or GCCS operating/record-keeping/reporting requirements

have not been missed. Based on the current Tier 2 Test results, the NSPS GCCS Design plan is not due
until September 22, 2012, Moreover, the GCCS is not subject to the operational/record-
keeping/reporting requirements of NSPS until March 22, 2014.
In addition, EPA's Municipal Solid Waste Landfill New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) and
Emission Guidelines (EG) Questions and Answers — Revised November 1998 (EPA Q&A document)
also states that a facility with a GCCS already in place is allowed to recalculate NMOC concentration in
accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 60.754(b), For your review and consideration, an excerpt
of EPA Q&A document is included in Attachment B of this document.
PROPOSED GCCS SAMPLING PROCEDURES
As specified in 40 CFR 60.754(b) and the EPA Q&A document, the LFG samples will be collected in
accordance with the following procedures:
• Prior to sampling at least 2 probe volumes will be evacuated from the system at a flow rate of
500 ml/min or less. The samples will be tested using a GA 90 portable LEG Monitoring unit to
make certain that the samples acquired contained less than 20% nitrogen or, alternatively, less
than 5%oxygen.
• A total of four (4) passivated, helium pre-filled, summa canisters will be. used to obtain the
samples. Three (3) of the canisters will be used to collect samples from the header inlet
upstream of the KOP; while, a fourth will be used as a spare.
• Upon completion of field sampling the summa canisters will be sent via overnight mail to a
NELAP-approved analytical laboratory for analysis in accordance with EPA Method 25C/3C
protocols.
• We will record the LEG flow rate at the time of sampling during the Additional Tier 2 Retest.
We will record the LEG flow as standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) and later convert the flow
rate into cubic meters per minute (cmm).
• Finally we will perform a surface scan on the areas influenced by the existing GCCS.
NMOC Emission Rate Calculation and Report Preparation
As previously mentioned, the NMOC emission rate will be calculated using the formula specified in 40
CFR 60.754(b). In the event that revised NMOC emission rate falls below the 50 Mg/yr threshold, a
revised Tier 2 test will be submitted to the NCDENR. In the event that the NMOC emissions are
calculated to fall below 50 Mg/yr for five (5) consecutive years, the report will serve as the 5-year
report. Should the results show that the facility will not satisfy the 5-year report criteria, AWM will use
the additional Tier 2 report to serve as the first of a series of annual NMOC emission rate reports. The
annual NMOC emission rate reports will continue to be submitted to NCDENR until the next Tier 2 test
is required or until the revised NMOC rate equals or exceeds 50 Mg/yr.
