Hi Dave:
I completed the review of the PTO Application for Phase 2, Cell A of the A-1 SandrockC&DLF. Below are the addition comments:
1. The soil borings (B-16 & B-29) and 15 test pits (TP-1 through TP-15) inside the Cell
A of the C&DLF – Phase 2 must be completed plugged and abandoned with theproper backfill material. A statement must be provided in the PTO Application.
2. (Attachment 1, Revised Operations Plan [on the Section 6.1 (Page 8)]) The reference
of the “Closure and Post Closure Plan, Section 7.0 may need to be revised forclarification by add an application title, DIN, and/or the date.
3. Please provide the initial groundwater sample (background) analytical results from
new monitoring well MW-6. This is also an action to protect your client – A-1Sandrock, Inc.
4. (Drawing No. E4A/sheet No. 5 of 6) The maximum fill elevation at 820 feet amsl is
likely a typographic error. Please make the correction.
Have a wonderful Labor Day.

Subject: A-1 Sandrock CDLF, Phase 2

Hi Dave:

While reviewing the PTO Application for Phase 2A of the A-1 Sandrock C&DLF, I find outthe waste footprint of Cells A & B of the Phase 2 are changed from the those (4.4 acres &
3.42 acres, respectively) originally approved facility plan drawing submitted on February 13,2015 (DIN 23583). I think this change of waste footprint of each cell will have effect on the
final fill grade (interim) and gross capacity. The Page 4 of the Facility Plan (revised inFebruary 06, 2015) must be updated according to the modifications of final based grade and
waste footprint of Cells A & B of the Phase 2. The revised data will be incorporated into thenew permit – Permit to Construct – Phase 2. Please submit the revised capacity data (The
Page 4 of the Facility Plan) and drawings of the closure plan for each cell (revision of thedrawings submitted on February 13, 2015) in a timely manner so the permit can be issued
with the reasonable time frame.

A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Phase 2A Permit to Operate Application
1
1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW
This application was prepared for A-1 Sandrock, Inc., in pursuit of a Permit to Operate (PTO) for
Phase 2A of their CDLF. Phase 2 is a five-year contiguous phase covering 7.82 acres, located
within the west and south portions of the approved CDLF footprint. Phase 2 will provide
608,193 cubic yards of disposal volume to be constructed in two cells, 2A and 2B, beginning
with Cell 2A nearest to Cell 1C. Phase 2A is expected to last approximately 2 years. The
facility permit was last renewed in December 2013 with a Permit to Operate (PTO) for Phase 1.

As with Phase 1, the rough grading for Phase 2 was initiated under NCDENR mining permit
#41-22. Upon completing excavations for individual cells (Phases 1A, 1B, 1C, and 2A), a CQA
report has been prepared to document as-built conditions and to address any anomalies in
subsurface conditions. For Phase 2A, closed (non-discharging) drainage conditions and high
precipitation during the winter-spring months of 2015 resulted in anomalous ground water levels,
which were investigated during the Design Hydrogeologic study in March and April 2015.

Subtle design changes to accommodate revised maximum long-term seasonal high ground water
estimates included raising the bottom grades in the west side of the cell by approximately 2 feet.
The grading work was completed and documented in early April 2015. The revised base grades
are reflected as as-built conditions in the accompanying operational drawing set.

2.0 OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Revisions to operations focus on storm water and leachate segregation. The Solid Waste Section
requires a temporary soil berm be constructed between the active disposal area and inactive
portions that collect runoff from within the cell and from elsewhere within the landfill footprint.
This water needs to be pumped over the perimeter berm into an existing sediment basin.
Operational Sequencing a measures that will prevent the water that comes into contact with the
C&D wastes (considered to be leachate) from the other runoff are shown on the PTO drawings.

Initially, a soil berm will be constructed to divide Phase 2A into approximately equal portions,
north and south. The exact location of the berm is not critical, as long as the berm functionally
separates the runoff from the active disposal area from the storm water runoff south of the sump.
Other diversions will be used as needed to prevent storm water from entering the disposal area,
namely from the east of Phase 2A and from the perimeter channels along the roadway. These
measures are temporary and should not require further permitting from the Land Quality Section,
which regulates mining activities, as well as sediment and erosion (S&EC) requirements.

The Operator intends to initially fill in the bottom of Phase 2A north, using the higher elevations
in the east side of the cell as the tipping and staging area, and placing operational soil cover in
accordance with the regulations to minimize rainwater infiltration. Prior to shifting the operation
to the south side of the cell, approved conveyances for directing storm water runoff from the
perimeter channels to the sediment basin will be implemented. As with Phase 1, exterior side
slopes will be built to final grades and covered with vegetated soil in increments.
A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Phase 2A Permit to Operate Application
2
Other requirements include no disposal of waste into standing water, per existing rules. Runoff
that has contacted the waste shall not be directed or pumped to the sediment basin or perimeter
channels. A minimum finished base grade of El. 740 shall be verified in the Phase 2A sump and
documented in the Operational Records immediately prior to placing waste.

The enclosed Operations Plan includes revisions made in response to the February 3, 2015
regulatory review. No changes to infrastructure, waste stream, or facility layout are anticipated.
Recycling operations conducted within the facility boundary are unchanged. Facility monitoring
requirements, addressed in standalone documents, include one new monitoring well and two new
landfill gas sampling points. The facility remains within detection stage monitoring.

3.0 SUBGRADE VERIFICATION
Earlier work performed by David Garrett & Associates included permitting studies and CQA for
Phase 1, along with observation of the early stages of the Phase 2A excavation. Within Phase 1,
scattered pockets of rock-like materials were encountered requiring subtle base grade elevation
changes, which were tracked and documented. Within Phase 2A, a small area near the center of
the cell encountered the diabase dike that had been documented in the previous studies. This
area aligns with the distinct break in grades between the east and west sides of the cell.

Base grades were left a little high over the dike, which was revealed in the March 2015 test pits
to consist of nested chunky (not rounded) boulders in a matrix of soil, which was dry. None of
the materials encountered in the test pits was considered to be bedrock. However, base grade
adjustments needed in the west side of the cell required “tracking” soil across the diabase dike
from the borrow source, a stockpile to the east, so grades were increased to provide 24 inches of
fine-grained soils beneath the finished subgrade and to promote positive drainage.

Within the west side of Phase 2A, base grades were raised by approximately 24 inches overall to
accommodate anomalous ground water elevations. Soils used for this “fine grading” activity
were derived from a stockpile of red silt-clay excavated from the eastern side of the CDLF
footprint. This soil is not “sandrock” but is used extensively on the site for structural fill. Lab
tests were conducted on independent samples of the subgrade, which verifies visual observations
that the soils classify as one of SM, SC, ML, MH, CL or CH, as required by Solid Waste rules.
A survey was performed ca. September 3, 2015, results enclosed, which confirms the base grades
in the sump are consistent with the grades approved subsequent to completion of the March 2015
Design Hydro study.

4.0 PIEZOMETER ABANDONMENT
Test borings within Phase 2A were abandoned using bentonite-cement grout, in accordance with
15A NCAC 2C .0113. The borings were abandoned by a licensed driller working under the
direction of the facility manager. This work was completed during the excavation of the cell and
is documented by the enclosed abandonment records. Test pits excavated in March 2015 were
backfilled and tamped to approximate the original density of the soils.

PART 1 – GENERAL OPERATIONS
1 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
1.1 Site Plan
The facility consists of a permitted mine and landfill located on a 75-acre tract, which is isolated
by natural barriers such as creeks and wooded tracts. Permitted mining includes the excavation
of “sandrock” (weathered granite) and other soil, which is sold off-site. 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, a separate LCID processing area (no disposal) and a
concrete processing area and stockpile.

1.2 Location and Surroundings
The facility entrance is located at 2091 Bishop Road, accessible from I-85 Business via Holden
Road or Groomtown Road. Bishop Road is paved and has a 45-mph posted speed limit. The
entrance to the facility was enhanced to improve visibility for traffic with turn lanes and a
widening of Bishop Road. Nearby facilities include an asphalt plant, other mines and landfills, a
trucking terminal, a MSW transfer station, and other businesses which put heavy truck traffic on
the road. The scales and office are located near the front gate, which is the only means of
accessing the site by the public. A few residences exist within a mile of the facility on Bishop
Road, which rely on ground water wells. The site is located in the Deep River Reservoir
watershed – protection of water quality is an important issue in the permitting and operation of
the facility. A regional fire department is located one-mile to the west on Bishop Road.

1.3 Service Area
The service area authorized by the Guilford County Commissioners includes the entire political
boundaries of all counties within or touching a 50-mile radius from the facility. The operator is
responsible for knowing his customer base and waste stream characteristics, such that the
approved service area is observed.

1.4 Waste Stream and Intake
The facility receives C&D and LCID debris from commercial haulers, contractors, and private
individuals. All materials are inert and meet the NC DENR Division of Waste Management
definitions. The facility expects to receive approximately 150 tons per day (4000 tpm) of
combined C&D wastes and LCID. The franchise allows up to 300 tons per day. Much of the
daily C&D intake will come from an affiliated waste hauling service. The intake will be source-
sorted with putrescible MSW excluded to the extent possible.

1.7 Permitted Activities
The following is a comprehensive summary of the permitted solid waste activities within the 75-
acre facility:

Activities conducted under Permit #41-17 (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 roll off boxes

Activities conducted under Permit #41-17 (CDLF disposal unit):
 Disposal of construction and demolition debris
 Disposal of asbestos wastes in a designated area

A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update

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

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 shall be
processed within the approved CDLF footprint, separated from the active working face by a safe
distance; 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 containers, e.g. 100-cubic yard trailers or 40-cubic yard
roll-off boxes, which can be covered. Recyclables are normally processed within a day or two of
receipt, stored within the Phase 1 footprint in containers, and shipped to appropriate receiving
facilities on a weekly basis. Based on the December 2009 Six Month Demonstration Report, 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-
A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)

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 the nearby MSW transfer station or other approved disposal
facility on a weekly basis. Finished materials shall be removed (or turned) at least quarterly,
except for aggregates.

2.2 CDLF
The CDLF is an unlined landfill encompassing 21.9 acres, approved ca. February 2004. Phase 1
occupies 8.18 acres; Phase 2 will cover 7.82 acres. Phases are sized to last approximately 5+
years, coinciding with the 5-year Permit to Operate cycle. Both Phases 1 and 2 drain toward
large perimeter channels, which in turn lead to the main sedimentation basin. Phase 2 drains
internally until the waste height reached the perimeter channel. All measures were designed in
accordance with 15A NCAC 4 and were approved by the NC DENR Division of Land
Resources. The limits of Phases 1 and 2 are clearly staked with permanent markers.

Closure of various phases will 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 mining permit requirements, i.e., sedimentation and erosion control apply, as so
NC DENR storm water rules.

2.3 Facility Drawings
A copy of the approved Facility Plan and construction drawings must be kept on-site at all times.
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 T&P 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.

3 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
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 each individual’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.

A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
5
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 5-year 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 at all times 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 O&M schedule highlights some, but not all, of the major the 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 or not they are covered here. Of particular emphasis, the Owner/Operator
should adhere to 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 2009 permit application:

4 ACCESS CONTROL
4.1 Physical Restraints
The site is accessible by the single entrance gate. All customers and visitors shall check upon
arrival; all incoming waste-hauling vehicles shall cross the scales. 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 paved or otherwise hardened and 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 to an unloading site is available. Once a load is emptied, the delivery vehicle will leave
the working face immediately.

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.

A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
7
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 C&D landfill and the landfill
scale house and field operators. 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.

5 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 of 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 or more serious fire
outbreaks, the local fire department will respond. In the event of any size fire at the facility, the
Owner shall contact NC DENR Division Waste Management personnel within 24 hours and
complete a Fire Notification Form (Appendix D) within 15 days for the Operating Record.

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 National Solid Waste
Management Association and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidance.
A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
8
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 knowing where the equipment and
customer vehicles are moving at all times. 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 general 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.

6 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 DENR 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, see Phase 2 PTC (Rev. 1.2),
dated 8/24/2014, Closure/Post Closure Plan, Section 8.0. 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 is covered by NC DENR Division of Water Quality Storm Water General Permit,
NCG020000 – Certification No. NCG020633. Compliance with the provisions of the permit –
and the monitoring requirements – is required. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan was
prepared for the facility, in accordance with the General Permit, which shall be observed and
incorporated into the daily operation of the facility. Steps to protect water quality include
diverting 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. 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.
A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
9
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 in order 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 (with visible runoff) or periods of high wind the incoming
(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
(including source-sorted loads) shall be placed in appropriate (covered) containers – i.e.,
transport trailers or roll-off boxes.

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, albeit a safe distance shall be maintained –
minimum of 50 feet – 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).

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 a
sorbent 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 and/or prior to placement of final cover and/or additional waste disposal.

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.
A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
10
Fuel and lubricants shall be stored under covers and/or with secondary containment systems that
are separate from the principle storm water drainage systems at all times. 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. The requirements of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and
monitoring criteria required by the NC DENR Storm Water General Permit shall be observed.

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 risk of disease carrying vectors associated with the
landfill (e.g., birds, rodents, dogs, mosquitoes). The C&D wastes should be mostly inert (subject
to the waste screening procedures) and not attractive to 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
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
(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), and the current status of the regional attainment. The
facility is not currently located in a designated area of non-attainment for ozone and/or
fine particle emissions (e.g., VOC’s, NOx), designation based on NCDENR Division of
Air Quality (DAQ) web site information.

A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
11
Based on information presented earlier this year concerning the possibility of certain
areas of the state being designated as non-attainment areas for ozone, it does not appear
that a non-attainment designation would affect existing facilities – a more impact might
be expected on future industrial location in the region – and the three-year data that lead
to this consideration is barely above the US-EPA’s current threshold for attainment.
State-wide, ozone monitoring data show general improvement since the implementation
of the “clean smokestacks” legislation within the last five 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 the use of 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 Bishop Road. The site and entrance will be policed for litter on a
weekly basis and such materials will be collected and disposed of properly.

7 OPERATING RECORD
The Operating Record shall consist of one or more files, notebooks, or computerized records and
associated maps that document the day-to-day facility operations, including the waste intake and
sources, transfer records, routine waste placement, cover, and closure activities (for the CDLF),
routine or special maintenance requirements and follow up activities, to include the following:

A Daily intake tonnage records - including source of generation
B Tonnage and type of recycled materials shipped offsite
C Copies of the facility map, tracking the current location of waste placement activities,
interim closure and completed final closure activities – including the date and time of

presented upon request to DWM for inspection. A copy of this Operations Plan shall be kept at
the landfill and will be available for use at all times, along with the Closure/Post-Closure Plan,
the Monitoring Plan, and Monitoring Records.

8 ANNUAL REPORT
The facility shall file an annual report with the NC DENR 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 Guilford County Planning Department.

A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
13
The rules for C&D landfills require an annual survey to determine slope, height, and volume (see
Section 15). The reporting requirements include an annual topographic map prepared by a
licensed surveyor. The mining permit for this facility has a requirement for annual reporting of
reclamation activities; generally reclamation at this site includes all backfilling (with beneficial
fill) and completion of slopes (with permanent vegetation). The annual reclamation report has
map submission requirements, as well as an estimate of percentage of the disturbed area
reclaimed. In addition, the Storm Water General Permit, issued by NC DENR Division of Waste
Quality, has an annual sampling and reporting requirement.

9 CONTINGENCY PLAN
9.1 Hot Loads Contingency
In the event of a "hot" load attempting to enter the landfill, the scale house staff will turn away
all trucks containing waste that is suspected to be hot, unless there is imminent danger to the
driver. The vehicle will be isolated away from structures and other traffic and the fire
department will be called. The vehicle will not be allowed to unload 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 (see Section
5), whereas the load will be spread as thin as possible and cover soil will be immediately placed
on the waste to extinguish the fire. Other traffic will be redirected to another tipping area (away
from the fire), or other waste deliveries may 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
In the event that identifiable hazardous waste or waste of questionable character 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 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 Appendix A.

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,
attempts 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,
immediate notice will be served on the owner of the vehicle that hazardous waste, for which they
have responsibility, has been disposed of at the landfill.

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
A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
14
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 will be charged
to the owner of the vehicle involved. Any vehicle owner or operator who knowingly dumps
hazardous waste in the landfill may be barred from using the landfill 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 Appendix 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.

9.4 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.

9.5 Heavy Rains
Exposed soil surfaces can create a muddy situation in some portions of the landfill during 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
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 a rain event, inspection by landfill
personnel will be initiated and corrective measures taken to repair any damage found before the
next rainfall.

Processing 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.

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

A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
15
9.7 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 proposed operational
sequence minimizes the occurrence of unsheltered operations relative 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.

9.8 Violent Storms
In the event of a hurricane, tornado, or severe winter storm warning issued by the National
Weather Service, landfill operations should be temporarily 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
10 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 general 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, etc., 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, etc., from
residential and commercial remodeling, repair, or demolition operations, will be
accepted after the Facility produces certificates of training 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, etc.

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 or any putrescible or
household wastes. A partial listing of prohibited wastes is presented on Table 1 following this
section.

10.3 Waste Processing
In order to assure that no prohibited waste enters the Facility, a waste screening program will be
implemented (see Section 10.4). 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, and "chemical" odors. Screening programs for
visual and olfactory characteristics of prohibited wastes will be an ongoing part of the Facility
operation.

17
10.4 Waste Receiving and Screening
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 three times 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 (Appendix 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.
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 DENR Solid Waste rules. LCID materials may be stockpiled and
A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
18
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, in order to reject inappropriate material before it
is unloaded or such that it can be reloaded onto the transport vehicle 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 (chiefly food
containers), 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 on Bishop Road 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; A-1 and affiliated businesses own an ample supply of roll-off boxes. 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:

 Pre-processed sorted C&D (raw materials) will be stockpiled temporarily in the
designated sorting area, adjacent to the working face.
 Woody materials suitable for making mulch and/or boiler fuel (including pallets) will be
ground or shredded and stored in over-the-road shipping containers.
A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
19
 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.
 New guidelines apply for storing and processing asphalt shingles intended for recycling
(see Section 10.11). Source-sorted, new (non-asbestos), tear-off asphalt shingles may be
stored for recycling. Shingles accepted for disposal only should be sent to the working
face. No grinding of shingles shall be conducted onsite.

The Owner intends to process incoming material and remove sorted materials from the tipping
area to covered bins or stockpiles by the end of each working day. 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 volumes of all processed and raw materials to be stored in stockpiles at the processing
facility (for those materials not stored in roll-off boxes) shall be 6000 cy – this is consistent with
Solid Waste Sections rules and guidelines for “notification” stockpiles, e.g., LCID stockpiles.
The following provides guidance for determining the maximum allowable stockpile dimensions
to meet this requirement at various heights with 2H:1V maximum side slope ratios. The
selection of maximum size of stockpile needs to incorporate the factors of safe operation,
storage, and fire prevention.

10.10 Maximum Processed Material Storage Volumes
Estimates of maximum stored volumes of combustible materials such as unprocessed wastes,
boiler fuel and mulch (see Sections 10.5 and 10.6) are as follows. The bulky materials are stored
in multiple stockpiles with variable daily volumes. Non-combustible aggregates are stored
separately, typically for longer duration depending on demand, but these materials do not pose a
fire hazard. Finished goods are marketable and relatively easy to move. The facility is located
near a MSW Transfer Station that will receive materials that cannot be disposed in the CDLF.
Unprocessed Wastes 3,000 cy

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. No grinding of shingles shall be conducted at the facility. Source-
sorted shingles shall be placed into roll off boxes or temporary stockpiles as separate loads.
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 Appendix
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 not go through the processing line and should be sent to the
working face.

Acceptance and storage of documented asphalt shingles for off-site recycling may take place
within the current T&P area on top of the CDLF, at least 50 feet away from the working face
alongside other recycling activities. The facility is only authorized to receive and store asphalt
shingles at this time. The facility must adhere to NCDENR’s documentation requirements
outlined in Appendix C to maintain operational compliance. Should the facility opt to grind
shingles into a recycled byproduct in the future, an additional Solid Waste Processor permit
application and an asbestos screening plan will be prepared to supplement this operational.

PART 3 – CDLF OPERATION
11 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 DENR Solid Waste Section.

11.2 Asbestos
A-1 Sandrock 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 landfill 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).

12 WASTE HANDLING PROCEDURES
In order to assure that prohibited wastes are not entering the landfill facility, screening programs
have been implemented at the landfill. 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 three times 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 Appendix 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 Transfer Station.
 For unacceptable wastes that are hazardous, the Hazardous Waste Contingency
Plan outlined in Section 9 will be followed.
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
A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
24
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 arrives in order 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 as long as 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 at the earliest practical time.

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

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
vehicles on the site, irrespective of facility vehicles or private vehicles. It is the responsibility of
the working face superintendent to know where each vehicle in the facility is located and what
they are doing at all times.

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.
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.

A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
25
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 DENR 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.

14 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 a copy of the facility map.

A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
26
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 soils shall be vegetated in accordance with the Seeding Schedule presented in the
Facility Drawings. Either temporary or permanent vegetation may be required – and alternate
ground cover may be considered – depending on the time duration of inactivity. Placement of
interim cover shall be documented in the Operating Record and on a copy of the facility map.

14.3 Final Cover
Exterior slopes shall be closed upon reaching final grades in increments throughout the operation
of the facility. 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.”
Prior to May 2013 the rule required that all disturbed soils shall be stabilized within 20 days
following completion of the grading. The facility’s interpretation is that all slopes must be
vegetated with a seed mix that is suitable to climatic conditions (see construction plans) within
15 days. 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.
A-1 Sandrock, Inc. CDLF (Permit 41-17)
Operations Plan Update
27
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,
which were typically derived from deep within the borrow pit. Typically, the mulch takes about
a year to break down and does benefit the effort of establishing vegetation, as long as the mulch
is not applied too thick. 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, typically requiring manual sowing to prevent
damaging the existing vegetation. 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.

15 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.

15.2 Annual Survey
The working face shall be surveyed on an annual basis to verify slope grades and to track the fill
progression. In the event of problems (slope stability, suspected over-filling), more frequent
surveys may be required at the request of the Division.
