PART 1 – GENERAL OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
1.1 Site Plan
The facility consists of a permitted landfill located on a 66-acre tract, which is isolated by
natural barriers such as creeks and wooded tracts. Adequate on-site soil resources are
available to meet the operational needs of the CDLF. The landfill is a permitted
reclamation activity that will restore the property to a usable condition for future
development. Recycling activities are required as a condition of the Franchise Agreement
with local government. The facility contains both C&D processing and disposal areas,
with recycling activities taking place near the working face, an adjacent LCID processing
area (no disposal) and a concrete processing area and stockpile.

1.2 Location and Surroundings
The facility is located with the eastern limit of the City of Asheboro, in Randolph County,
North Carolina. The site has two access points off Gold Hill Road. The facility main
entrance is located at 385 Gold Hill Road and is an aggregate road surface, accessible
from I-74 via East Presnell Street. Gold Hill Road is paved and has a 55-mph posted
speed limit. The scales, a scale house, a waste inspection area, and a mulch
processing/commercial sales area are located near the main entrance. All waste hauling
trucks entering the facility are weighed upon entering and existing. Loads are identified
and assigned to the proper processing or disposal units at the scale house.

The second entrance is also a gravel road intended for facility personnel access only and
intended for use for facility maintenance operations. Both entrances have gates that are
securely locked during non-operation hours. There are presently no residences, farms,
or commercial structures on site. The site is bordered on the east by Gold Hill Road, the
south by East Presnell Street, the west by Penwood Branch South Tributary, and to the
north by private landowners.

1.3 Service Area
In accordance with the Franchise Agreement with the City of Asheboro, the service area
for the C&D processing and disposal operations at the Gold Hill Road Landfill include the
following Counties:
• Randolph,
• Guilford,
• Alamance,
• Chatham,
• Moore,
• Montgomery,
• Davidson.

1.4 Waste Stream Characteristics
The Gold Hill Road facility will accept LCID and C&D wastes for disposal as defined by
NC DEQ Division of Waste Management definitions. No liquid waste, hazardous wastes
or Municipal Solid Waste will be accepted for disposal. Any material received at the site
that cannot be process or disposed will be removed from the site and disposed of at a
suitable location. LCID brought to the facility will either be process in accordance with
the approved Operation Plan or disposed in the C&D unit. No separate disposal area for
LCID will be maintained once the combined disposal unit is in operation.

C&D will be accepted for processing, reuse or disposal from private contractors, local
governments, and individual residents with the service area. The facility anticipates that
approximate 80 percent of the C&D waste stream will come from commercial sources
(i.e., demolition contractors, general contractors, home builders, etc.) with the remaining
20 percent generated by local government and residents. C&D disposal rates vary
considerably month to month. The facility has entered into a franchise agreement with
the City of Asheboro that allows disposal of up to 125 cubic yards per calendar day.
Based on previous years the rate of compaction has been calculated to be approximately
1.8 cubic yards per ton of C&D which would be approximately 70 tons of C&D waste per
calendar day. The facility will maintain the 125 cubic yards (70 tons) per calendar day as
the maximum receivable rate.

1.5 Hours of Operation
The facility is open to the public from 7 AM to 5 PM on Monday – Friday and 8 AM to 12
PM on Saturday. All current operations for the facility are within those hours.

1.7 Permitted Activities
The following is a comprehensive summary of the permitted solid waste activities within
the 66-acre facility:

Activities conducted under Permit #76-06 (Processing Facility):

• Receipt of wood wastes and inert debris (C&D and LCID)
• Sorting recyclables, shredding or grinding the wastes*
• Removal of incidental non-compliant wastes**
• Production of mulch, boiler fuel, aggregates***
• Temporary storage of products in stockpiles

Activities conducted under Permit #76-06 (CDLF disposal unit):

• Disposal of construction and demolition debris
• Disposal of asbestos wastes in a designated area

*Primary recyclables include aggregates, wood wastes, and metals; aggregates derived
from the two sources may be combined, wood wastes derived from the two sources may
be blended for fuel; typically, the C&D wastes are better suited for boiler fuel, LCID wastes
are better suited for mulching, thus the two waste streams are typically not blended; no
other blending shall occur

**Includes MSW and other non-C&D wastes that inadvertently enter the C&D waste
stream at construction sites – these materials will be placed in roll-off boxes and taken to
the nearby MSW transfer station on a weekly basis; no MSW disposal shall occur at this
facility

***Materials typically will be distributed off-site, but some on-site use of mulch outside of
the active C&D unit will occur (with limitations on application rates), and aggregates may
be used on-site; all non-fuel wood wastes processed at the facility will be considered as
mulch – not compost – with no nutrient value

All sorting and grinding activities will take place within the CDLF footprint or within an
approved area adjacent to the footprint. Finished goods may be stored outside the CDLF
footprint within designated areas (approved for mining disturbance) that have drainage
control. No processing or disposal activities shall occur within designated stream buffers,
wetlands, or the 100-year floodplain. All activities and areas are accessible to the public
only via a single gate and are secure after hours. Each permitted activity is described in
brief detail in Section 2.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION
2.1 Processing Facility
The Owners of the facility intend to accept appropriate C&D and LCID wastes for recycling
into boiler fuel, mulch, aggregates, and reclaimed of metals. All C&D materials shall be
weighed and recorded, with accurate accounting to account for material flow. Intake
materials may be sorted within the approved CDLF footprint, separated from the active
working face by a safe distance, or within the designated processing area located outside
the footprint (see Site Plan drawings). Public access to the processing area and working
face is restricted – C&D unloading, processing and disposal areas are to be separated
by approximately 50 feet – and the LCID processing area will be separate from the C&D
processing facility. The tipping and processing areas have runoff control measures that
integrate into the main storm water system but can be isolated in the event of a spill of
fuel, oil, or hazardous materials. Operations shall be scheduled around the weather to
minimize contact between the waste and water – no grinding of C&D wastes shall take
place in the rain.

Materials shall be sorted and placed in stockpiles not exceeding 100-cubic yards,
separated by a minimum of 25 feet to allow access for firefighting. Alternatively,
processed materials may be stored in trailers or roll-off boxes, at the operator’s discretion.
Recyclables normally will be processed within a day or two of receipt, stored outside the
footprint, and shipped to appropriate receiving facilities on a weekly basis. The intake
stockpile is typically kept under 6,000 cy.

Recyclable C&D materials shall be shipped to established markets, e.g., boiler fuel and
metals; aggregates will be ground and sold or used on the premises in a beneficial
manner. Non-recyclable C&D wastes shall be disposed within the on-site C&D disposal
facility. A separate, roll-off box shall be kept on-hand for inadvertent non-C&D wastes
(MSW) that may come into the facility, which will be taken to a nearby MSW transfer
station or otherwise approved disposal facility on a weekly basis. Finished materials shall
be removed (or turned) at least quarterly, except for aggregates.

2.2 CDLF
Phase 1 and Phase 2 are contiguous phases of an unlined landfill encompassing 20.27
acres, based on the current Permit to Operate approved February 17, 2014. Phase 1
occupies 11.94 acres; Phase 2 occupies 8.33 acres. Phase 1 currently operates as the
LCID disposal area, and Phase 2 operates as the CDLF. Perimeter berms for the disposal
cells are designed to prevent surface water from land adjacent to the cell from entering
active operations areas. Additional structures such as swales and ditches direct water
away from the CDLF. Where the disposal areas are closed, both Phases 1 and 2 are
designed to drain toward large perimeter channels, which in turn lead to the main
sedimentation basin. All measures were designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 4 and
were approved by the NC DEQ Division of Land Resources. The limits of Phases 1 and
2 are clearly staked with permanent markers.

The active LCID area (Phase 1) will be mined and the permitted base grade condition will
be confirmed and recertified. As Phase 1 is recertified for operation the closure of the
existing CDLF will also be incremental, conducted in accordance with the approved
Closure/Post-Closure Plan. Financial Assurance requirements will be adjusted on a
yearly basis to account for new areas opening and those being closed. Operation of the
C&D Landfill will be in accordance with Solid Waste rules. A Ground Water Monitoring
Plan has been approved by the SWS. All requirements, for sedimentation and erosion
control apply, as do NC DEQ storm water rules.

2.3 Facility Drawings
A copy of the approved Facility Plan and construction drawings must be kept on-site
always. Several sets of drawings submitted to various agencies exist, e.g., local
government site plan approval, the mining permit application and solid waste applications;
revisions have occurred over time. The Engineer should be consulted to resolve conflicts
between drawings. The enclosed drawing set is current for the Gold Hill Road facility and
the Phases 1 and 2 CDLF waste placement sequence with respect to the Solid Waste
permit. The Owner/Operator shall note the location of the active working face on the
facility plan, noting areas that have come to final grade and areas that are closed – the
map shall be updated continuously and filed with the Operating Record (Section 7).
The drawings show the locations of special waste disposal areas (i.e., asbestos), soil
borrow and stockpile areas.

ROUTINE OPERATION
3.1 Staff Responsibilities
Every staff member shall receive instruction on “preventative maintenance” pertaining to
ground water and surface water quality, and how to protect these features, in addition to
waste acceptance criteria and operational requirements that pertain to every staff
member’s specific duties. The critical importance of preserving environmental quality and
maintaining operational compliance should be a topic for discussion at regular staff
meetings, along with issues concerning safety and efficient operation of the facility.

Each worker should understand that the overall compliance of the facility affects not only
their position at the facility but the future ability to continue operations beyond the next
permit review. All staff should be vigilant about enforcing the waste acceptance policy
and to make sure that all aspects of the operation, from mowing the grass to the daily
transfer or disposal of waste, are conducted in an environmentally sound manner.

In accordance with Rule .0542 (j) (2) a trained operator must be on duty always when the
facility is open to the public and/or when operations are being conducted. All training
should be documented and Operator’s certifications shall be kept current.

3.2 Inspections and Maintenance
The following Operations and Maintenance (O&M) schedule highlights some, but not all,
of the major requirements for routine facility inspection and maintenance at both the
recycling facility and the CDLF. This schedule is intended to serve as a guide for the
Owner/Operator for addressing short-term and long-term issues, but the O&M schedule
does not alleviate the Owner/Operator of key rule requirements, whether specified here
or not. Critical emphasis is placed on the following:

• Collect trash and windblown debris around the scale, buildings, and areas outside
the working face daily per Rule 15 NCAC 13B .0542 (g) (3).

• Note the date and time of cover placement (periodic and interim covers) in the
operating record in compliance with Rule .0542 (f) (2).

The following tabulated summary for normal operations and hereby replaces the O&M
Checklist presented in the previous permit application:

4.1 Physical Restraints
The site is accessible to the public by the single entrance gate. All customers and visitors
shall check upon arrival; all incoming waste-hauling vehicles shall cross the scales. An
additional entrance is available for facility personnel access only and is intended for
facility maintenance operations. The entrance gates will be securely locked during non-
operating hours.

4.2 Security
Frequent inspections of gates and fences will be performed by landfill personnel.
Evidence of trespassing, vandalism, or illegal operation will be reported to the Owner.

4.3 All-Weather Access
On-site roads will be maintained for all-weather access.

4.4 Traffic
The Operator shall direct traffic to a waiting area, if needed, and onto the working face
with safe access when an unloading site is available. Once a load is emptied, the delivery
vehicle will leave the working face immediately.

O p e r a t i o ns P l a n Up d a t e R e v . N o v em b e r 2 9 , 2 0 1 7

8
4.5 Anti-Scavenging Policy
The removal of previously deposited waste by members of the public (or the landfill staff)
is strictly prohibited by the Division for safety reasons. The Operator shall enforce this
mandate and discourage loitering after a vehicle is unloaded. No one unaffiliated with the
landfill or having business at the facility shall be allowed onto the working face.

4.6 Signage
A prominent sign containing the information required by the Division shall be placed just
inside the main gate. This sign will provide information on operating hours, operating
procedures, and acceptable wastes. Additional signage will be provided within the landfill
complex to distinctly distinguish access routes. Restricted access areas will be clearly
marked and barriers (e.g., traffic cones, barrels, etc.) will be used.

4.7 Communications
Visual and radio communications will be maintained between the scale house and field
staff. The scale house has telephones in case of emergency and for the conduct of day-
to-day business. Emergency telephone numbers (Fire and Rescue) are displayed in the
scale house.

4.8 Waste Screening
Refer to Section 10.4.

FIRE AND SAFETY
5.1 Fire Prevention
Measures shall be taken to prevent fires in the raw materials and finished goods
stockpiles in the processing facility. Stockpiles (and the disposal area) shall be inspected
daily for signs of smoke or combustion. The piles shall be separated by a minimum
distance of 25 feet for access. At a minimum, any accumulated piles of combustible
materials shall be limited to 6,000 cy in size and turned on a quarterly basis or when
dictated by temperature. The piles shall be monitored for dryness and temperature – a
temperature probe shall be acquired and kept in the office – maximum allowable
temperatures shall be 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

5.2 Fire Control
Fires in landfills and stockpiles (especially LCID facilities) have been a regulatory concern
in recent times. The possibility of fire within the landfill or a piece of equipment must be
anticipated. A combination of factory installed fire suppression systems and/or portable
fire extinguishers shall be kept operational on all heavy pieces of equipment. Brush fires
within the waste may be smothered with soil, if combating the fire poses no danger to the
staff. The use of water to combat the fire is allowable, but soil is preferable.

For larger fires, the local fire department will respond. In the event of any size fire at the
facility, the Owner shall contact NC DEQ Division Waste Management personnel within
24 hours and complete a Fire Notification Form (Attachment D) within 15 days.

5.3 Personal Safety
Safety is a key concern with the operation of this facility. All aspects of operation were
planned with the health and safety of the landfill's operating staff, customers, and
neighbors in mind. Prior to commencing operations, a member of the management staff
will be designated as Site Safety Officer. This individual, together with the Facility's
management will modify the site safety and emergency response program as needed to
comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidance. Staff
safety meetings (minimum one per month) shall be conducted. Safety equipment to be
provided includes (at a minimum) equipment rollover protective cabs, seat belts, audible
reverse warning devices, hard hats, safety shoes, and first aid kits. Field operators will
be encouraged to complete the American Red Cross Basic First Aid Course with CPR.

The working face of a landfill is an inherently dangerous place due to the movement of
heavy equipment, steep slopes, obstacles to pedestrian movement and sometimes poor
visibility (such as equipment backing up). These considerations are also a concern for
the sorting and grinding operations, as well as the concern for flying debris that can be
ejected from a tub grinder. Safety for customers will be promoted by the Operator and
his staff always knowing where the equipment and customer vehicles are moving. Radio
communications between the scale house and the field staff will help keep track of the
location and movement of customers.

The processing areas (C&D and LCID) shall be located no closer than 50 feet to the
working face of the CDLF disposal unit. Signs, fences and/or physical barriers will be
used to separate public access areas from the working face of the CDLF and the waste
processing areas (sorting, grinding, etc.) – activities that could endanger the public shall
not be conducted when non-employees are present. Vehicles transporting waste to the
facility and/or the public shall not have access to the working face. Children under the
age of 16 shall not be allowed in the facility. No waste unloading, grinding or disposal
activities shall be conducted after dark.

OTHER REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
6.1 Sedimentation and Erosion Control
All aspects of the facility operation are subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 4, the
Sedimentation and Erosion Control rules. Runoff measures for this facility were designed
in accordance with this rule and approved by the NC DEQ Land Quality Section, as a
condition of the mining permit. Approved S&EC measures shall be installed and
maintained throughout the operational life of the facility and into the post-closure period.
Measures to curtail erosion include vegetative cover and woody mulch as ground cover.

Measures to control sedimentation include stone check dams in surface ditches, sediment
traps and basins. As of March 2013, all exposed soils, regardless of whether they are
inside or outside the disposal area, shall be vegetated or otherwise stabilized within 15
days after any given area is brought to final grade.

6.2 Water Quality (Storm Water) Protection
This facility does not require coverage under a NC DEQ Division of Water Resources
Storm Water General Permit. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan should be
prepared for the facility, which would describe steps to protect water quality, e.g. diversion
of surface water (“run-on”) away from the disposal area, allowing no impounded water
inside the disposal area, and avoiding the placement of solid waste into standing water,
and which would be incorporated into the daily operation of the facility. The facility is
obligated by law not to discharge pollutants into the waters of the United States (i.e.
surface streams and wetlands). Any discharges should be mitigated immediately and
reported to NC DEQ Division of Water Resources.

6.3 Minimizing Surface Water Contact
Protection of water quality is a key interest in the operation of this facility. Although C&D
wastes are typically inert, there can be chemical residues present in the C&D (e.g.,
solvents) that can mobilize upon contact with water – i.e., leachate generation – and which
can enter the environment via storm water runoff. This tends to be more prevalent when
the wastes are processed (sorted and ground) due to increased surface area available to
contact the water source and increased exposure to ambient conditions.

Whereas the tipping and processing areas will be uncovered, the C&D processing facility
shall not be operated during rain events to minimize contact between the waste and
surface water, thus minimizing leachate generation. Activities pertaining to the
processing facility should be scheduled to accommodate the weather forecast. During
periods of light rain unloading may occur and sorting operations may occur if no runoff is
visible, but no grinding shall occur. During heavy rain, unprocessed materials shall be
stockpiled and covered with tarps (secured against wind) or incorporated into the working
face to minimize contact with water. Processed materials shall be placed in covered
transport trailers or roll-off boxes, or stockpiled if the materials are inert.

6.4 Processing Facility Operation over the CDLF
The Processing Facility (tipping, sorting, loading) activities will move within the C&D
footprint to be near the working face of the CDLF unit. A minimum distance of 50 feet
shall be maintained between the Processing Facility and the working face to promote
safety of workers and the public (Section 5.3). The Processing Facility may be located
atop an inactive portion of the CDLF unit. When the Processing Facility is to be operated
over an inactive portion of the CDLF, a soil pad with a minimum thickness of 2 feet shall
be placed beneath the processing facility operational area (including the tipping and
grinding areas), in addition to the interim soil cover (see Section 14).

1 1
The purpose of the supplemental operating soil pad is to protect the underlying wastes –
and water quality – against possible spills, leaks and/or the introduction of non-compliant
materials (liquids) that might escape detection in the preliminary screening. The soil pad
serves as an absorbent layer that can be removed in the case of an incident, minimizing
the chance of the incident affecting the ground water or surface water monitoring system,
and maintaining adequate coverage for the underlying wastes. The soil pad may be
removed at the end of the processing operation.

6.5 Equipment Maintenance
Facility equipment consists of a variety of excavators, loaders, dozers, dump trucks, and
specialized equipment, e.g., a tub grinder for LCID and a separate grinder with power
screens for aggregates. Most of the equipment is used in the normal course of mining
operations. The Owner represents that he has sufficient resources to provide and
maintain the needed equipment to operate the facility. A maintenance schedule for the
facility equipment is beyond the scope of this Operations Plan. The Operator (or his
designee) should develop a routine equipment maintenance program to lessen the
likelihood of fluid spills or leaks.

Fuel and lubricants shall be stored under covers and/or with secondary containment
systems that are always separate from the principle storm water drainage systems. Care
shall be taken when servicing or fueling equipment to prevent spills. Driveways, shop
areas and all operations areas where heavy equipment is working shall be inspected daily
for signs of spills and leaks. Equipment should be parked overnight and serviced in areas
that will not contaminate the facility storm water management systems. Care shall be
taken not to allow any hazardous substance to enter the surface water or ground water,
including (but not limited to) fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, pesticides, and herbicides.

6.6 Utilities
Electrical power, water, telephone, and restrooms will be provided at the scale house.
Other sanitary facilities shall be provided for the field staff, as needed. Two-way radios
or cell phones shall be provided to the field staff for communication with the scale house.
Portable light plants may be required to promote safe operation of the processing facility
in the late afternoon or evening.

6.7 Vector Control
Steps shall be employed to minimize the attraction of disease carrying vectors, e.g., birds,
rodents, dogs, mosquitoes. The C&D wastes are generally not attractive to scavenging
animals. Pools of standing water should be avoided.

6.8 Air Quality Criteria
Dust Control – Measures shall be taken to control dust from the operations. Dusty
wastes shall be covered immediately with soil, and water shall be sprinkled on roads and

G o l d H i l l R o a d C DL F ( P e rm i t 7 6 - 0 6) I s s u e d Oc t o b er 1 1 , 2 0 1 7

1 2
other exposed surfaces (including operational cover and/or the working face, as needed)
to control dust. Disposal activities may need to be suspended during high winds.

Open Burning – No open burning of any waste shall be allowed.

State Implementation Plan – Compliance with the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for
air quality under Section 110 of the Clean Air Act, as required by 15A NCAC 13B .0531
et seq., is demonstrated with the following discussion. Typically, the SIP focuses on
industries that require air permits and activities that have regulated emissions that
contribute to unhealthy levels of ozone, NOx, SO4, VOC’s, particularly coal combustion
byproducts (from electric power plants) and other “smokestack” industries. Compliance
with the spirit of the SIP is demonstrated by the prohibition of combustion of solid waste,
the fact that the wastes are generally inert and do not emit sufficient quantities of landfill
gas to require active controls (such as flaring). The facility is not located in a designated
area of non-attainment for ozone and/or fine particle emissions (e.g., VOC’s, NOx),
designation based on NC DEQ Division of Air Quality (DAQ) web site information.

In 2009 information (acquired for a nearby facility), concerning the possibility of certain
areas of the state being designated as non-attainment areas for ozone, suggested that a
non-attainment designation would not affect existing facilities – a larger impact might be
expected on future industrial location in the region – and the three-year data that lead to
this consideration was barely above the US-EPA’s threshold for attainment. State-wide,
ozone monitoring data show general improvement since the implementation of the “clean
smokestacks” legislation within the last several years, and if the next few months show
continued improvement, US-EPA may not impose the non-attainment designation.1 This
leads to a conclusion that the facility is not contributing to an existing non-attainment
condition in the local area, nor is it likely to in the future.

Nonetheless, proactive steps that can be taken at the facility include dust control
measures (see below) to minimize airborne particle emissions, minimizing the idling time
on trucks and equipment, keeping mechanized equipment in good operating condition,
and using low-sulfur fuels, subject to availability. Adherence to the waste acceptance
criteria will minimize VOC emissions. Regular application of periodic cover will reduce
the risk of fires and curtail wind-blown debris; the proper use of vegetative cover will
further minimize fugitive emissions of dust and particulates.

6.9 Litter Control
Appropriate measures will be taken to control trash and windblown debris within and
around the facility, including litter on Gold Hill Road. The site and entrance will be policed
for litter on a weekly basis and such materials will be collected and disposed of properly.

The Owner or his designee will keep the Operating Record up to date. Records shall be
presented upon request to DWM for inspection. A copy of this Operations Plan shall be
kept at the landfill and will always be available for use by the staff, along with the
Closure/Post-Closure Plan, the Monitoring Plan, and Monitoring Records.

ANNUAL REPORT
The facility shall file an annual report with the NC DEQ Division of Waste Management
by August 1 of each year, detailing the activities for the preceding July 1 through June 30.
Records shall be kept pertaining to the types and amounts of wastes received, as well as
the types and amounts of materials reused, recycled, and distributed; material quantities
shall be reported annually in tons. This report also shall be furnished to Randolph County
Planning Department, as required. The rules for C&D landfills require an annual survey
to determine slope, height, and volume (Section 15). The reporting requirements include
an annual topographic map prepared by a licensed surveyor.

CONTINGENCY PLAN
9.1 Hot Loads Contingency
In the event of a "hot" load attempting to enter the landfill, the scale house staff will
suspend all waste intake and, unless there is imminent danger to the driver or staff, the
errant vehicle will be isolated away from structures and other traffic and the fire
department will be called. If safe to do so, the vehicle may be dumped and pulled away
from the fire. The vehicle will not be allowed onto the working face until the fire is out.

If a hot load is detected on the working face, then the load will be treated as a fire condition
(Section 5), whereas the load will be spread as thinly as possible and cover soil will be
placed immediately to smother the fire. Other traffic will be redirected away from the fire,
or the other waste deliveries may need to be suspended until the fire is out. The fire will
be monitored to ensure it does not spread. If the fire cannot be controlled, the fire
department will be notified and the area cleared of non-essential personnel.

9.2 Hazardous Waste Contingency
If identifiable hazardous waste, or waste of questionable nature, is detected at the scales
or in the landfill, appropriate protective equipment, personnel, and materials will be
employed as necessary to protect the staff and public. Hazardous waste identification
may be based on (but not limited to) strong odors, fumes or vapors, unusual colors or
appearance (e.g., liquids), smoke, flame, or excess dust. The fire department will be
called immediately in the event a hazardous material is detected. An attempt will be made
to isolate the wastes in a designated area where runoff is controlled, preferably prior to
unloading, and the vicinity will be cleared of personnel until trained emergency personnel
(fire or haz-mat) take control of the scene. Staff will act prudently to protect personnel

G o l d H i l l R o a d C DL F ( P e rm i t 7 6 - 0 6) I s s u e d Oc t o b er 1 1 , 2 0 1 7

but no attempt will be made to remove the material until trained personnel arrive. A partial
listing of regional Hazardous Waste Responders and disposal firms is found in
Attachment A.

In no circumstance shall hazardous wastes knowingly be placed in the landfill. It may be
necessary to reload the errant vehicle, following safety protocols and guidance from the
fire department or scene commander. Equipment may need to be decontaminated.
Overall, it would be prudent to allow the haz-mat responder to handle the wastes. The
Operator will notify the Division (see Section 1.6) that an attempt was made to dispose
of hazardous waste at the landfill. If the vehicle attempting disposal of such waste is
known, an effort will be made to prevent that vehicle from leaving the site until it is
identified (license tag, truck number driver and/or company information) or, if the vehicle
leaves the site, law enforcement should be called and immediate notice will be served on
the owner of the vehicle that hazardous waste, for which they have responsibility, has
been disposed at the landfill or attempted disposal has occurred.

The landfill staff will assist the Division as necessary and appropriate in the removal and
disposition of the hazardous waste (acting under qualified supervision) and in the
prosecution of responsible parties. If needed, the hazardous waste will be covered with
on-site soils, tarps, or other covering until such time when an appropriate method can be
implemented to properly handle the waste. The cost of the removal and disposing of the
hazardous waste may be charged to the owner of the vehicle involved. Any vehicle owner
or operator who knowingly places or attempts to place hazardous waste in the landfill may
be barred from using the landfill and/or reported to law enforcement authorities.

Any hazardous waste found at the scales or in the landfill that requires mitigation under
this plan shall be documented by staff using the Waste Screening Form provided in
Attachment B. Records of information gathered as part of the waste screening programs
will be placed in the Operating Record and maintained throughout the facility operation.

9.3 Severe Weather Contingency
Unusual weather conditions can directly affect the operation of the landfill. Some of these
weather conditions and recommended operational responses are as follows.

9.3.1 Ice Storms
An ice storm can hinder access and/or prevent equipment movement or placement of
periodic cover. Closure of the landfill may be required until the ice is removed or has
melted and the access roads are passable without risk to personnel or the cover.

9.3.2 Heavy Rains
Exposed soil surfaces can create access problems during prolonged rainy periods. The
control of drainage and use of crushed stone (or recycled aggregates) on unpaved roads
should provide all-weather access for the site and promote drainage away from critical

G o l d H i l l R o a d C DL F ( P e rm i t 7 6 - 0 6) I s s u e d Oc t o b er 1 1 , 2 0 1 7
O p e r a t i o ns P l a n Up d a t e R e v . N o v em b e r 2 9 , 2 0 1 7

1 6
areas. In areas where the aggregate surface is washed away or otherwise damaged,
aggregate should be replaced. Intense rains can affect newly constructed drainage
structures such as swales, diversions, cover soils, and vegetation. After such an event,
an inspection by landfill staff will be initiated and corrective measures taken to repair any
damage found before the next rainfall. Activities should be planned to avoid sorting and
grinding during periods of rain. Ideally, waste deliveries should be suspended until the
rain passes, but if unloading in the rain cannot be avoided the debris piles should be kept
small as possible and covered with tarps. Sorting should be completed as soon as
practical and all materials cleared from the tipping area to avoid contact with rain or runoff.

9.3.4 Electrical Storms
The open area of a landfill is susceptible to lightning strikes during an electrical storm. If
necessary, landfill activities will be suspended during a storm, and personnel should take
refuge in buildings or rubber-tire vehicles.

9.3.5 Windy Conditions
High winds can create windblown wastes, typically paper and plastic, but larger objects
have been known to blow in extreme circumstances. Operations should be suspended if
blowing debris becomes a danger to staff, after the working face is secured. The
operational sequence minimizes exposure of the working face to prevailing winds. If this
is not adequate during a particularly windy period, work will be temporarily shifted to a
more sheltered area. When this is done, the previously exposed face will be immediately
covered with daily cover. Soil cover shall be applied whenever windblown wastes
become a problem. Staff shall patrol the perimeter of the landfill periodically, especially
on windy days, to remove windblown litter from tress and adjacent areas. Windscreens
of various sorts have been used with mixed success at other facilities in the region.
Proper planning for windy conditions is essential.

9.3.6 Violent Storms
In the event of a hurricane, tornado, or severe winter storm warning issued by the National
Weather Service, landfill operations should be suspended until the warning is lifted. Daily
cover will be placed on exposed waste and buildings and equipment will be properly
secured. In the event of eminent danger to staff or the public, personal safety shall take
precedence over other concerns.

PART 2 – PROCESSING (RECYCLING) FACILITY
OVERVIEW
This section describes the general waste intake and handling operations for the
Processing (Recycling) facility. These protocols shall be followed, regardless of whether
the material is source-sorted and delivered by affiliated waste transport vehicles or
brought to the facility by private contractors or the public.

10.1 Acceptable Wastes
The Facility shall only accept these waste types generated within approved service area:

• Construction Debris: Unpainted and untreated wood, plywood, particle board,
hardboard, gypsum board, siding, flooring, asphalt shingles, other inert materials
from new residential or commercial construction;
• Demolition Debris: Concrete, brick, block and asphalt will be accepted; unpainted
and untreated wood, roofing, insulation, piping, wallboard, siding, other inert
materials from residential and commercial remodeling, repair, or demolition
operations, contingent on the Facility establishing a training program for the staff
pertaining to the identification and safe handling of hazardous materials (e.g.,
asbestos, lead paint)
• Land Clearing and Inert Debris: Stumps, trees, limbs, brush, other vegetation,
concrete, brick, concrete block, clean soils and rock, untreated/unpainted wood,
other inert materials.

10.2 Prohibited Wastes
No municipal solid waste (MSW), hazardous waste as defined by 15A NCAC 13A .0102,
including hazardous waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQG
waste), or liquid waste will be accepted at this facility. In addition, no tires, batteries,
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste, electronic devices (computer monitors), or
mercury switches and fluorescent lamps will be accepted. Animal carcasses will not be
accepted. No oils, grease, solvents, or fluids of any kind will be accepted, nor will bagged
wastes, putrescible or household wastes. A partial listing of prohibited wastes is
presented on Table 1 following this section.

10.3 Waste Processing
A waste screening program will be implemented (see Section 10.4) to reduce the
likelihood of prohibited materials entering the Facility. Waste received at the scale house
will be inspected by trained personnel. These individuals will be trained to spot indications
of suspicious wastes, including: hazardous material placards or markings, liquids,
powders or dusts, sludges, bright or unusual colors, drums or commercial size containers,

G o l d H i l l R o a d C DL F ( P e rm i t 7 6 - 0 6) I s s u e d Oc t o b er 1 1 , 2 0 1 7

and "chemical" odors. Screening programs for visual and olfactory characteristics of
prohibited wastes will be an ongoing part of the Facility operation. All staff should be alert
to the possibility of unauthorized materials entering the landfill, know the appropriate
response, and understand the consequences for non-compliance.

10.4 Waste Receiving and Screening
It is anticipated that most of the waste arriving at this facility will undergo some type of
processing prior to disposal. All incoming vehicles must stop at the scale house located
near the entrance of the facility, and visitors are required to sign-in. All waste
transportation vehicles shall be uncovered prior to entering the scales to facilitate
inspection; all incoming loads shall be weighed and the content of the load assessed.
The attendant shall request from the driver of the vehicle a description of the waste it is
carrying to ensure that unacceptable waste is not allowed into the Facility. Signs
informing users of the acceptable and unacceptable types of waste shall be posted near
the facility entrance. The attendant shall visually check the vehicle as it crosses the scale.
Suspicious loads will be pulled aside for inspection prior to leaving the scale area.

Loads with unacceptable materials or wastes generated from outside of the service area
will be directed to the nearby Transfer Station. Once passing the scales, incoming
transport vehicles will be routed to the tipping area for unloading, inspection, sorting and
appropriate processing, depending on the nature of the load – C&D and LCID materials
will go to separate areas (Sections 10.5 and 10.6).

Incoming vehicles shall be selected at random for screening a minimum of one per week.
The selection of vehicles for screening might be based on unfamiliarity with the
vehicle/driver or based on the driver’s responses to interrogation about the load content.
Vehicles selected for inspection shall be directed to an isolated area away from the
stockpile of materials to be stockpiled, where the vehicle will be unloaded and the waste
shall be carefully spread using suitable equipment. An attendant trained to identify
unacceptable wastes shall inspect the waste, using the Waste Screening Form
(Attachment B) to document the waste screening activity. After the waste screening
inspection of a load, one of the following activities will occur:

• If no unacceptable waste is found, the load will be pushed to the active recycling
area and processed with the remainder of the day’s intake;
• If unacceptable materials are found, the entire load will be isolated and secured
via barricades, then loaded into roll-off boxes for disposal at a permitted facility;
• Non-hazardous materials will be reloaded onto the delivery vehicle for removal
from the facility, the hauler will be escorted to the nearby MSW Transfer Station;
• If hazardous materials are detected, the Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan
outlined in Section 9 will be followed.

O p e r a t i o ns P l a n Up d a t e R e v . N o v em b e r 2 9 , 2 0 1 7

1 9
The hauler will be held responsible for removing unacceptable waste from the Facility.
The rejection of the load shall be noted on the Waste Screening Form, along with the
identification of the driver and vehicle. A responsible party to the load generator or hauler
shall be notified that the load was rejected. The generator or hauler may be targeted for
more frequent screening and/or banished from the facility, depending on the nature of the
violation of the waste acceptance policy. State and County authorities may be notified of
severe or repeat offenders.

10.5 LCID Processing
The Facility may recycle LCID to make mulch, boiler fuel, and aggregates. LCID wastes
generally consist of brush, limbs, tree trunks, stumps, leaves, dirt, inert debris, and other
materials defined by the NC DEQ Solid Waste rules. LCID materials may be stockpiled
and shredded or ground within a designated area (in a future CDLF phase) but separated
from the CDLF working face. Some LCID materials may be combined with similar C&D
materials post-processing – e.g., wood wastes that can be ground into boiler fuel and
inert debris that can be processed into aggregates. LCID materials shall not be
commingled with other materials prior to processing, except for concrete debris.

10.6 C&D Processing
The Facility may recycle C&D wastes aggregates, boiler fuel, mulch, and beneficial fill.
Typically, C&D materials are anticipated to arrive source-sorted, having been transported
by an affiliated hauler, but some private hauling will occur. Sorting will take place at least
50 feet from the CDLF working face, with appropriate runoff controls and S&EC measures
in place. The sorted materials will be redirected to appropriate stockpiles and/or roll-off
boxes and temporarily stored for further processing (see below). Non-recyclable C&D
materials will be pushed into the CDLF working face (Section 12). Co-mingling of pre-
process or interim stage processed materials from the C&D and LCID waste streams will
NOT be allowed – except for concrete debris – separate stockpiles or containers shall be
maintained. Concrete debris is processed in a separate area. All materials will be strictly
accounted for, including those in various stages of processing, stockpiled finished goods,
on-site beneficial-use and/or distribution.

10.7 Disposal of Rejected Wastes
All waste loads will be inspected upon arrival, to detect and reject inappropriate material
before it is unloaded, or so it can be reloaded and sent to an appropriate facility. One or
more roll-off boxes will be kept on-site for disposal of any “reject” materials that are found
in the waste during material sorting, e.g., small quantities of garbage, plastic packaging,
paint cans, insulation, carpet, etc. Such “rejects” will be placed into the roll-off boxes and
removed from the site for disposal at an approved facility, e.g. the nearby Transfer Station
or another approved MSW facility. The roll-off boxes will be removed on a weekly basis.
The number of roll-off boxes required will depend on the market trends. Operations will
be conducted to minimize the amount of reject materials through source sorting – this
facility will not become a MSW transfer station.

10.8 Processing of Finishing Goods
Processing activities shall be limited to grinding, shredding, or chipping land clearing
debris, unpainted/untreated wood waste (including pallets and new construction waste),
and certain engineered wood products (plywood, particle board), to make boiler fuel or
mulch (but not compost). Inert materials will be processed and recycled into aggregates.
The operation of the Processing Facility will include the following:

• Sorted but unprocessed C&D materials will be stockpiled temporarily in the
designated sorting area, adjacent to the working face.
• Large woody materials excavated from the LCID (e.g., stumps) will be windrowed
above the former LCID unit (Phase 1B) for up to 3 – 5 years to allow decomposition
into soil, subject to temperature monitoring and periodic turning.
• Recycled wood suitable for mulch, boiler fuel, or composting (including pallets) will
be ground or shredded and placed in temporary stockpiles on top of the LCID unit.
• Earthen inert materials (dirt, rocks, concrete debris) suitable for “beneficial fill”
and/or for processing into aggregates, will be ground or shredded and stockpiled.
• Metals will be placed in roll-off boxes and kept clean and ready to haul to off-site
recycling operations until a full load is reached.
• Source-sorted, new (non-asbestos), tear-off asphalt shingles may be stored for
recycling (see Section 10.11). Shingles accepted for disposal only should be sent
to the working face. No onsite grinding of shingles is authorized.
The Owner intends to process incoming material and remove sorted materials from the
tipping area to covered bins or stockpiles/windrows by the end of each working week.
Finished materials will be sold or used on-site on a quarterly (or more frequent) basis. If
the stockpiles of finished products must remain on-site for longer periods of time, these
materials will be wetted and turned quarterly (as needed) to prevent composting and/or
fires (see Section 2.1).

10.9 Maximum Stockpile Size
Maximum stockpile volumes shall be 6000 cy – consistent with Solid Waste Section rules
and guidelines. The following table provides guidance for determining typical stockpile
dimensions that meet this requirement with 2H:1V maximum side slope ratios.

10.10 Maximum Material Storage Volumes
Estimates of stored volumes of combustible materials such as wood wastes, either
processed (ground and awaiting further treatment and processing) or unprocessed, to be
kept in stockpiles shall be limited to what the Operator can manage without creating a fire
or safety hazard, nuisance conditions or detrimental effects on the environment.
Otherwise, a maximum storage volume is not stipulated in the regulations. Common
sense would suggest keeping no more raw material onsite than can be processed into
finished goods and distributed within a calendar year. Thus, the maximum volume that
can be stockpiled is mostly limited by available space, contingent on each stockpile
meeting the maximum size requirements discussed in Section 10.9. As such, material
storage should meet the requirements of fire control (25 feet of clear space) and maximum
volume of 6000 c.y. for each stockpile.

10.11 Asphalt Shingle Storage for Recycling
The Owner/Operator shall only accept new tear-off asphalt shingles for storage, typically
from contractors they know. Due to the potential health concerns with shingles of any
age, especially older ones from demolition sites, no grinding of shingles shall be
conducted at the facility. Source-sorted shingles shall be placed into bins or temporary
stockpiles. Documentation for the source for each load shall be retained. A detailed plan
for documenting the intake and distribution (i.e., to a licensed recycler) of asphalt shingles
is found in Attachment C. Old shingles may contain asbestos and shall not be stored or
processed for recycling at this facility. Asphalt shingles arriving without documentation or
in mixed loads may be accepted for disposal, but these materials shall be sent directly to
the disposal area.

The T&P facility is now only authorized to receive and store asphalt shingles. The facility
must adhere to NC DEQ’s documentation requirements outlined in Attachment C to
maintain operational compliance. Should the facility opt to grind shingles into a recycled
byproduct in the future, additional permitting (with an asbestos screening and contingency
plan) will be prepared to supplement this Operations Plan.

PART 3 – CDLF OPERATION
WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
11.1 Permitted Wastes
The C&D Landfill shall only accept (for disposal) the following wastes generated within
approved areas of service:

• Construction and Demolition Debris Waste: (Waste or debris derived from
construction, remodeling, repair, or demolition operations on pavement or
other structures);
• Land Clearing and Inert Debris Waste: (yard waste, stumps, trees, limbs,
brush, grass, concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soils and
rock, untreated and unpainted wood, etc.);
• Other Wastes as approved by the NC DEQ Solid Waste Section.
11.2 Asbestos
The Facility may dispose of asbestos within the C&D landfill, or within a special
designated area, only if the asbestos has been processed and packaged in accordance
with State and Federal (40 CFR 61) regulations. Handling asbestos requires advance
arrangements between the hauler and the Facility and special placement techniques (see
(Section 13.2).

11.3 Wastewater Treatment Sludge
Sludges of any kind shall not be disposed in the C&D Landfill, per Division rules. Waste
Water Treatment Plant sludge may be used as a soil conditioner to enhance the final
cover, upon receipt of permission from the Division, to be applied at agronomic rates.

11.4 Waste Exclusions
No municipal solid waste (MSW), hazardous waste as defined by 15A NCAC 13A .0102,
or hazardous waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQG waste),
sludges or liquid wastes will be accepted. No drums or industrial wastes shall be
accepted. No tires, batteries, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), electronic devices
(computer monitors), medical wastes, radioactive wastes, septage, white goods, yard
trash, fluorescent lamps, mercury switches, lead roofing materials, transformers, or CCA
treated wood shall be accepted.

No pulverized or shredded C&D wastes may be accepted – except those materials
received and inspected in a whole condition and shredded on-site. The Facility will
implement a waste-screening program, described in Section 12.1 below, to control these
types of waste. Solid Waste Rule .0542 (e) contains further exclusions (see Table 2).

WASTE HANDLING PROCEDURES
A waste screening program will be implemented (see below) to reduce the likelihood of
prohibited materials entering the Facility. Waste received at both the scale house
entrance and waste taken to the working face is inspected by trained personnel. These
individuals have been trained to spot indications of suspicious wastes, including:
hazardous placards or markings, liquids, powders or dusts, sludges, bright or unusual
colors, drums or commercial size containers, and "chemical" odors. Screening programs
for visual and olfactory characteristics are an ongoing part of the landfill operation.

12.1 Waste Receiving and Inspection
All incoming vehicles must stop at the scale house located near the entrance of the facility,
and visitors are required to sign-in. All waste transportation vehicles shall be uncovered
prior to entering the scales to facilitate inspection; all incoming loads shall be weighed
and the content of the load assessed. The scale attendant shall request from the driver
of the vehicle a description of the waste it is carrying to ensure that unacceptable waste
is not allowed into the landfill.

Signs informing users of the acceptable and unacceptable types of waste shall be posted
at the entrance near the scale house. The scales attendant shall visually check the
vehicle as it crosses the scale. Any suspicious loads will be pulled aside for a more
detailed inspection prior to leaving the scale house area. Loads with unacceptable
materials will be required to be covered (with a tarp) and turned away from the facility.
Wastes from outside of the service area will be rejected.

Once passing the scales, the vehicles containing C&D wastes are routed to the working
face. Vehicles shall be selected for random screening a minimum of once per week. The
selection of vehicles for screening might be based on unfamiliarity with the vehicle/driver
or based on the driver’s responses to interrogation about the load content. The Operator
shall use the Waste Screening Form (see Attachment B) to document the waste
screening activities. Documentation of waste screenings shall be placed in the
Operational Record (see Section 7).

Selected vehicles shall be directed to an area of intermediate cover adjacent to the
working face where the vehicle will be unloaded and the waste shall be carefully spread
using suitable equipment. An attendant trained to identify wastes that are unacceptable
at the landfill shall inspect the waste discharged at the screening site. If no unacceptable
waste is found, the load will be pushed to the working face and incorporated into the daily
waste cell.
• If unacceptable wastes that are non-hazardous are found, the load will be reloaded
onto the delivery vehicle and directed to the nearby Transfer Station.
• For unacceptable wastes that are hazardous, the Hazardous Waste Contingency
Plan outlined in Section 9 will be followed.

2 5
The hauler is responsible for removing unacceptable waste from the landfill property. The
rejection of the load shall be noted on the Waste Screening Form, along with the
identification of the driver and vehicle. A responsible party to the load generator or hauler
shall be notified that the load was rejected. The generator or hauler may be targeted for
more frequent waste screening and/or banished from delivering to the facility, depending
on the nature of the violation of the waste acceptance policy. If the violation is repetitive
or severe enough, State and/or County authorities may be notified.

12.2 Disposal of Rejected Wastes
Attempts will be made to inspect waste as soon as it upon arrival to identify the waste
hauler; ideally, the hauler can be stopped from leaving the site and the rejected materials
reloaded onto the delivery vehicle. Non-allowed materials that are found in the waste
during sorting or placement, i.e., after the delivery vehicle has left the site, shall be taken
to the on-site Transfer Station. Small quantities of garbage (chiefly food containers) will
inevitably wind up in the C&D waste stream from job sites. These may be disposed with
the C&D wastes if the materials are non-liquid and non-hazardous. If large quantities of
garbage, “black bags” or any prohibited wastes are detected, the Operator shall be
responsible for removing these materials and placing them into the Transfer Station.

C&D DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
Waste transportation vehicles will arrive at the working face at random intervals. There
may be several vehicles unloading waste at the same time, while other vehicles are
waiting. Only a certain number of vehicles will be allowed on the working face at a time
to maintain control over the unloading of waste. The superintendent and/or equipment
operator(s), who will serve as ‘spotters’, will determine the actual number. This procedure
will be used to minimize the potential of unloading unacceptable waste.

Operations at the working face will be conducted in a manner that will promote the efficient
movement of vehicles to and from the working face, and to expedite the unloading of
waste. At no time during normal business hours will the working face be left unattended.
Scale house and field staff shall be in constant communication regarding incoming loads
and the movement of all vehicles on the site, whether facility vehicles or private vehicles.

Portable signs with directional arrows and barricades will be used to direct traffic to the
correct unloading area. The approaches to the working face will be maintained such that
two or more vehicles may safely unload side by side. A vehicle turn-around area large
enough to enable vehicles to arrive and turn around safely with reasonable speed will be
provided adjacent to the unloading area. The vehicles will back to a vacant area near the
working face to unload. Upon completion of the unloading operation, the transportation
vehicles will immediately leave the working face. Personnel will direct traffic as necessary
to expedite safe movement of vehicles.

2 6
Waste unloading at the landfill will be controlled to prevent disposal in locations other than
those specified by site management. Such control will also be used to confine the working
face to a minimum width, yet allow safe and efficient operations. The width and length of
the working face will be maintained as small as practical to control windblown waste,
preserve aesthetics, and minimize the amount of required periodic cover.

Normally, only one working face will be active on any given day, with all deposited waste
in other areas covered by either periodic or final cover, as appropriate. The procedures
for placement and compaction of solid waste include: unloading of vehicles, spreading of
waste into 2 foot lifts, and compaction on relatively flat slopes (i.e., 5H: IV max.) using a
minimum number of three full passes. Depending on the nature of the wastes and in-situ
density, the waste placement geometry and compaction procedures may require
adjustment to optimize airspace.

13.1 Spreading and Compaction
The working face shall be restricted to the smallest possible area; ideally, the maximum
area of exposed waste shall be one-quarter to one-half acre. Wastes shall be compacted
as densely as practical. Appropriate methods shall be employed to reduced wind-blown
debris including (but not limited to) wind fences, screens, temporary soil berms, and
periodic cover. Any wind-blown debris shall be recovered and placed back in the landfill
as soon as practical.

13.2 Special Wastes: Asbestos Management
Any asbestos handling and disposal will follow specific NC DEQ regulations with proper
shipping manifests and documentation of disposal. Asbestos shall arrive at the site in
vehicles that contain only the asbestos waste and only after advance notification by the
generator and if accompanied by a proper NC DMV transport manifest. Once the hauler
brings the asbestos to the landfill, operations personnel will direct the hauler to the
designated asbestos disposal area. Operations personnel will prepare the designated
disposal area by leveling a small area using a dozer or loader. Prior to disposal, the landfill
operators will stockpile cover soil near the designated asbestos disposal area. The
volume of soil stockpiled will be sufficient to cover the waste and to provide any berms,
etc. to maintain temporary separation from other landfill traffic.

Once placed in the prepared area, the asbestos waste will be covered with a minimum of
18 inches of daily cover soil placed in a single lift. The surface of the cover soil will be
compacted and graded using a tracked dozer or loader. The landfill compactor will be
prohibited from operating over asbestos disposal areas until at least 18 inches of cover
are in-place. The landfill staff shall record the location and elevation of the asbestos
waste once cover is in-place. Records of the disposal activity shall be entered into the
Operating Record. Once disposal and recording for asbestos waste is completed, the
disposal area may be covered with C&D waste. No further excavation into recorded
asbestos disposal areas will be permitted.

COVER MATERIAL
14.1 Periodic Cover
The working face of the CDLF shall be covered on a weekly basis, or sooner if the area
of exposed waste exceeds one-half acre in size. Periodic cover shall consist of a 6-inch
layer of earthen material that completely covers the waste to control vectors, fire, odors,
and blowing debris. Alternative periodic cover may be considered, subject to a
demonstration project with prior approval from the Division. Placement of periodic cover
shall be documented in the Operating Record (see Section 7) and on the facility map.

14.2 Interim Soil Cover
An interim soil cover (at least 24 inches in thickness) shall be placed on inactive slopes,
subject to the following conditions:
• Interior slopes adjacent to future expansion (such as a cell or phase boundary) no
later than 30 days following the last waste receipt, providing that further waste
disposal will occur within one year of the last waste receipt. *
• Exterior slopes that have attained final grade, but are to be left for no more than
15 working days without temporary vegetation, until an area of no more than 10
acres is ready to be closed simultaneously. **
*North Carolina Solid Waste Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0543 requires final cover to be placed
if the slope shall remain inactive for more than one year

**Typically, it is advantageous to close the final slopes in 2 to 3 acre increments,
observing the placement of erosion control benches; 10 acres is the regulatory maximum

Interim cover shall be vegetated in accordance with the Seeding Schedule (see Facility
Drawings). Either temporary or permanent vegetation may be required –alternate
ground cover may be considered – depending on the duration of inactivity. Placement of
interim cover shall be documented in the Operating Record and the facility map.

14.3 Final Cover
Exterior slopes shall be closed in increments upon reaching final grades. Placement of
final cover shall be documented in the Operating Record and on a copy of the facility
map. The permitted final cover consists of a minimum of 18 inches of compacted soil
cover (maximum 10-5 cm/sec permeability requirement), overlain by 18 inches of
vegetation support soil. In general, the final soil cover shall be spread in three uniform
lifts (maximum of 9 inches before compaction, 6 inches after compaction), and soils shall
be compacted by “tracking” with dozers or other equipment. North Carolina Solid Waste
regulations require a maximum permeability, achieved through proper material selection
and compaction criteria, confirmed by the testing program outlined in the CQA section of
the Closure and Post-Closure Plan, found in the Permit to Construct documents.

Sedimentation and Erosion Control Rule 15A NCAC 04B .0107, MANDATORY
STANDARDS FOR LAND-DISTURBING ACTIVITY, states as follows:

“Pursuant to G.S. 113A-57(3), provisions for a ground cover sufficient to restrain
erosion must be accomplished within 15 working days or 90 calendar days
following completion of construction or development, whichever period is shorter.”

The facility must vegetate all slopes with a seed mix that is suitable to climatic conditions
(see construction plans) within 15 days following completion of the grading. All seeded
areas should be provided with lime, fertilizer and straw mulch. An emulsified tack may
be required to prevent wind damage. Other stabilization treatments, e.g., curled wood
matting of synthetic slope stabilization blankets may be employed.

At the operator’s discretion, wood mulch may be spread evenly over the final surfaces –
at a maximum thickness of 2 inches – to help retain moisture and retard erosion while the
vegetation develops. By SWS definition this material is not recognized to provide nutrient
value, but the partial decomposition of the wood mulch over time does introduce organic
content to the soils. Wood mulch typically requires about a year to break down and, if not
applied too thick, does benefit the effort of establishing vegetation. This allows the
operator some flexibility is establishing vegetation at optimum times. A nurse crop of
seasonal vegetation can be sown at the time the slopes are finished and a permanent
crop can be sown later. All protective measures must be maintained until permanent
ground cover is established and is sufficient to restrain erosion on the site.

If settlement occurs after the cover is placed, the cover shall be fortified with additional
soil. In the case of extreme settlement (unlikely), the old cover can be stripped and the
affected area built up with waste prior to replacing the cover. The sedimentation and
erosion control criteria governing the final closure of this facility are performance-based;
some trial and error may be required, but the goal is to protect the adjacent water bodies
and buffers throughout the operational and post-closure periods.

SURVEY FOR COMPLIANCE
15.1 Height Monitoring
The landfill staff will monitor landfill top and side slope elevations on a weekly basis or as
needed to ensure proper slope ratios, in accordance with the approved grading plan, and
to ensure the facility is not over-filled. This shall be accomplished by use of a surveyor’s
level and a grade rod. When such elevations approach the grades shown on the Final
Cover Grading Plan, the final top-of-waste grades will be staked by a licensed surveyor.
