I. LOCATION/DIIRECTIONS: 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.
II. SAFETY: Hard hat, safety boots and safety vest are 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.
III.FACILITY DESCRIPTION: The Anson County Waste Management Facility (ACWMF) is a
municipal solid waste(MSW)landfill located near 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 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 was issued the initial Title V permit.
The design capacity of this facility is currently greater than the NSPS, Subpart W W W, applicability
threshold of 2.5 million-cubic meters by volume and 2.5 million mega grams by mass. 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). The Tier 11 results indicated an additional 5 years,with no GCCS requirement by Air
Regulations NSPS WWW thru 2016. This facility performed its most recent Tier II test in December
2018 and into January 2019 and submitted a test report on February 28,2019. The data summary of
that report that was approved by DAQ indicates the facility continues to test out, less than 50 Mg/yr
NMOC until 2022 (28.89 Mg/yr in 2022)
On March 26,2018,NCDEQ Solid Waste Division issued to ACWMF a Permit-To-Construct for
Phase 3 and 4. On May 9,2018, construction of Phase 3 began and triggered NSPS XXX. The Initial
Design Capacity Report to meet the requirements of NSPS XXX, 40 CFR 60.767(a)(1)(i)and 40 CFR
60.676(b)(1)(i)(A)was submitted to DAQ on August 3,2018 to meet an August 7,2018 deadline.
That report contained a NMOC Tier 1 calculation indicating the NMOC 867.5 Mg/yr. This facility
elected to perform a Tier 2 Test to determine actual NMOC emissions. As noted above,the facility
performed another Tier II test in December 2018 and into January 2019. The data summary of that
report that was approved by DAQ indicates the facility continues to test out, less than 34 Mg/yr.
NMOC until 2022. The facility has options to perform further testing as contained in NSPS XXX.
However, should the facility not be able to test out of the requirement of a GCCS as required by
NSPS XXX,the facility has 30 months from the Initial Design Capacity Report submitted on August
3, 2018 to fully comply with NSPS XXX.

*Voluntary gas collection and control system(not yet required by 40 CFR 60,XXX);Testing in December 2018 and into
January 2019 indicated the facility continues to test out,less than 34 Mg/yr NMOC until 2022,and thus,no further requirements
under NSPS XXX are required at this time. This facility will become subject to NESHAP AAAA when and if the facility came
no longer test out of 50 Mega grams of NMOC.
I. On Friday,August 7, 2020,I,Jeffrey Cole of NC DAQ FRO, met with Mr. Tyler Fitzgerald, District
Manager,and Mr. Dustin Towne, Facility Operator, for a partial compliance inspection resulting from
an anonymous odor complaint. All participants followed COVID-19 social distancing and mask
wearing protocols. I explained in general terms the anonymous complaint that the FRO received and
asked Mr.Fitzgerald if any changes to the landfills normal operations have occurred in the last 9 to
10 months and that it was worse in the evenings when the air was still. Mr. Fitzgerald stated that the
landfill's operations have remained consistent and no changes have been made to the amount and type
of waste stored in the landfill. I followed Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr.Towne's vehicle to the center of the
landfill and observed the face of the active cell where waste is being added. This location was in
Phase 3 of the landfill. This face was farther south in the landfill property(but in the same phase)
than when observed in last compliance inspection(14 October 2019). We next proceeded to a new
cell (located in Phase 4 of the landfill)under construction north of the active cell. This cell should
begin accepting waste in October 2020. During my inspection,I did not observe any objectionable
odors beyond the property boundary.
H. Stipulation Review for Section 2- Specific Limitations and Conditions:
1. CONTROL OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS—As require by 15A NCAC 2D .1806: The
Permittee shall not operate the facility without implementing management practices or installing
and operating odor control equipment sufficient to prevent odorous emissions from the facility
from causing or contributing to objectionable odors beyond the facility's boundary
APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE: On 17 July 2020, FRO received an anonymous odor complaint
from a resident living north of the Anson County Waste Management Facility who has been
smelling odors from the landfill for the last 9 to 10 months(starting in October 2019). During my
inspection of the landfill I did not detect any objectionable odors beyond the property boundary.
Mr. Fitzgerald stated that the last odor complaint that the landfill had received(before the current
complaint)was in 2016,however,the complaint could not be investigated as it was anonymous,
and no contact information was provided.

III. Comments and Compliance Statement: Based on the compliance inspection conducted on
7 August 2020 the Anson County Waste Management Facility appears in compliance with the
specific stipulation cited above.
