INTRODUCTION
1.1 Intent
Brunswick County (County) currently operates a Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris landfill. The
C&D debris landfill is located at 17o Landfill Road, Bolivia, North Carolina. The C&D debris landfill is
currently permitted to operate under Permit No. 1007-CDLF-1997 issued by the NC Division of Waste
Management. This Permit to Operate was issued by the NC Division of Waste Management on August 13,
2014 and expires on March 28, 2o19. The Permit to Operate further requires that an amendment to the
Permit to Operate must be submitted by September 28, 2018 pursuant to 15A NCAC 13B .02o1(e). A
request to extend the submittal deadline to October 19, 2018 was granted by DWM due to Hurricane
Florence impacts in Brunswick County. A copy of the Permit to Operate for the C&D debris landfill is
included in Exhibit 1.
The intent of this package is to submit an amendment to the Permit of Operate for the C&D debris
landfill. Brunswick County is seeking a life -of -site Permit to Operate as allowed by NC G.S.13oA.290.
The life -of -site Permit to Operate will allow Brunswick County to continue operating and placing C&D
debris in the C&D debris landfill working toward ultimate capacity. The amendment to the Permit to
Operate has been prepared by Dewberry Engineers Inc. (Dewberry). This amendment to the Permit to
Operate includes a Capacity Update, an Operation Plan, a Closure and Post Closure Plan, updated facility
drawings, and associated exhibits and appendices. It is also intended that the C&D debris sorting and
recycling operation remain a part of the C&D debris landfill Permit to Operate. The amendment to the
Permit to Operate will present current documentation for the C&D debris landfill along with operational
and post closure considerations for the closed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill.
1.2 Review of Historical Documents
The existing landfill facility was opened as a MSW landfill in 1983. It was operated as an MSW landfill
until December 31,1997. A portion of the MSW landfill was closed using a clay cap system in 1998 and
1999• The NC Division of Waste Management permitted the C&D Debris landfill on December 31, 1997•
Operations continued and still continue as a C&D debris landfill. C&D debris has been placed on top of
closed MSW waste as allowed by guidance documents provided by the NC Division of Waste
Management in the mid to late 199os. Per this guidance document since the placement of C&D debris on
top of the closed MSW landfill, Brunswick County will close the entire landfill (MSW and C&D debris)
when ultimate capacity is reached.
NC Solid Waste Management Rules codified on October 9, 1993 required that all existing MSW landfills
which accepted waste after October 9, 1993 and were not scheduled to close by April 9,1994 prepare a
Transition Plan (application) to demonstrate compliance with some Section .1600 rules. At that time,
Brunswick County intended to continue operating the MSW landfill until December 31,1997, or until
another viable site was chosen. This required the County to prepare and submit to the NC Division of
Waste Management a Transition Plan to demonstrate compliance with the October 9, 1993 rules. The
purpose of the Transition Plan was to provide documentation of compliance with Section .1617 of the
October 9, 1993 rules for the MSW landfill. Dewberry prepared and submitted the Brunswick County
Municipal Solid Waste Transition Plan (Transition Plan), dated September 1994, on Brunswick County's
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstrUGtiOn & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 11

behalf to the NC Division of Waste Management. A copy of the Transition Plan, dated September 1994, is
included in Appendix A. This Transition Plan included the following sections and pertinent information:
• Introduction
• Location Restrictions
• Local Study Area
• Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Capacity Evaluation
• Operation Plan
• Closure and Post Closure Plan
Since the approval of the Transition Plan, dated September 1994, amendments to the Permit to Operate
have been prepared and submitted as supplements to the Transition Plan. The supplements to the
Transition Plan have provided an Intent Section, a Summary Report, required changes to pertinent
sections of the Transition Plan, updated facility drawings (if needed), and other required supplemental
documentation. These supplements have generally corresponded with the phased development of the
C&D debris landfill. The Transition Plan and associated supplements have been retained for historical
documentation purposes and reference. A listing of supplement dates along with the corresponding
supplement number is provided below:
• October 27, 1997 (Supplement)
• December 17, 2001(Supplement No. 2)
• October 30, 2002 (Supplement No. 3)
• November 14, 2003 (Supplement No. 4)
• April 7, 2004 (Supplement No. 5)
• December 29, 2004 (Supplement No. 6)
• July 27, 2005 (Supplement No. 7)
• July 2oo6 (Supplement No. 8)
• December 2007 (Supplement No. 9)
• January 20o8 (Supplement No. 9A)
• October 2018 (Revised Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan)
The following information provides a brief description of the intent of each supplement. The C&D
landfill was permitted on December 31,1997. Phase 1(October 27,1997 supplement), with an estimated
capacity of 185,000 cubic yards, was permitted. The permit was for an operational life of 5-years, ending
December 31, 2002. Phase 2 was included in the permit, but was not permitted. Due to numerous
tropical storms and hurricanes during the late 199os, the C&D debris waste stream increased
significantly in comparison to what was anticipated. Supplement No. 2 was prepared in order to expand
the limits of the C&D debris landfill to meet this increased C&D debris volume. Supplement No. 2
increased the landfill volume by 38,500 cubic yards to a total of 223,500 cubic yards, and was approved
by NCDENR in January 2002. Supplement No. 3 increased the landfill volume by 53,100 cubic yards to a
total of 276,600 cubic yards, and was approved by NCDENR in December 2002. In order to continue use
of the landfill, Supplement No. 4 was submitted in November 2003 to increase landfill volume by
133,700 cubic yards. Supplement No. 5 was submitted in April 2004 to permit the Large, Type 1 Yard
Waste Compost Facility. Supplement No. 6 was submitted in December 2004 to increase landfill volume
by 147,000 cubic yards. Supplement No. 7 was submitted in July 2005 to increase the landfill volume by
588,800 cubic yards. Supplement No. 8 was submitted in July 20o6 to limit the source of construction
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstrUGtiOn & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 12

and demolition material into the existing Brunswick County C&D debris landfill for its remaining life and
duration to sources that are within the County. Supplement No. 9 was submitted in December 2007 to
request that the C&D debris landfill be permitted to continue to operate beyond July 1, 2oo8.
Supplement No. 9A was submitted in January 20o8 to include a C&D debris sorting and recycling
operation with the C&D debris landfill permit and operations plan. The Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan
was updated in October 2018 to include the new locations of four relocated gas monitoring wells.
A summary of the text revisions each supplement made to the Transition Plan is included in Appendix B.
This summary does not provide text revisions made by the April 7, 2004 Supplement No. 5. This
supplement was associated with the Large, Type i Yard Waste Compost Facility. Since the preparation of
this supplement, a standalone document addressing siting/design, application, operational, and
classification and distribution requirements has been prepared for the Large, Type 1 Yard Waste Compost
Facility.

2 REMAINING CAPACITY
2.1 Tonnage History and Waste Stream Trends
Using available C&D waste stream data (1993-1994), variations in the annual C&D debris tonnages have
been observed. Peaks in the annual C&D debris tonnage can be attributed to weather related events
(hurricanes) and growth within the local building industry. Low points in the annual C&D debris
tonnage can be attributed to normal tonnage variations and more recently a significant decline in the
local building industry.
During 2007-2Oo8, Brunswick County began diverting a portion of the C&D debris waste stream to a
permitted facility off -site. The purpose of C&D debris waste stream diversion was to reserve capacity in
the C&D debris landfill for future use. Currently, a portion of the C&D debris waste stream is diverted
off -site through the MSW Transfer Station to a permitted facility off -site.
Table 1 below provides the annual C&D debris tonnage received, annual C&D debris tonnage disposed in
the C&D debris landfill, annual C&D debris tonnage disposed of off -site, and percent difference in the
C&D debris waste stream received. Data in the table below is from the Solid Waste Management Annual
Reports submitted by Brunswick County, the supplements to the Transition Plan, and from Brunswick
County staff.

2.2 Remaining Capacity
The current Permit to Operate for the C&D debris landfill (issued on August 13, 2014) documented that
the remaining disposal capacity of Phase 6A, 6B, and 6C is 178,200 cubic yards. The remaining disposal
capacity was the amount of useable airspace available for disposal of C&D debris.
Since July 2007 compaction rates have been calculated to be between 903 - 1,426 lbs/cubic yard. These
compaction rates have been calculated by utilizing survey data and C&D debris tonnage reports. The
actual compaction rates are higher than the rate of 800 lbs/cubic yard used for the original permitting of
the C&D debris landfill. For the purposes of estimating the remaining capacity of the C&D debris landfill
a compaction rate of ijoo lbs/cubic yard has been utilized. This compaction rate has been a reliable
average of historical compaction rates and has been used for remaining capacity estimations in previous
amendments to the Permit to Operate.
Currently, C&D debris is being placed in Phase 6A and 6B of the C&D debris landfill. The permitted
capacity/airspace of Phase 6A, 6B, and 6C is 588,800 cubic yards. The progression, location, and limits
of disposal phases of the C&D debris landfill have been described in the previous supplements referenced
above. The capacity provided by each permitted phase of the C&D debris landfill is provided in the Table
2 below.

The permitted capacity/airspace is based on the total airspace (C&D debris and final cap). Based on the
DRAFT Landfill Disposal Efficiency Report, dated September 7, 2018, the remaining useable airspace of
the C&D debris landfill (Phase 6A, 6B, and 6C) is approximately 120,323 cubic yards. The remaining
approximate total airspace is 191,147 cubic yards. The approximate remaining useable airspace was
calculated based on the July 18, 2018 survey of the operating faces of the C&D debris landfill. Phase 6C
has not been opened to date.

The C&D debris landfill reaching ultimate capacity is dependent on several variables. These variables
include the C&D debris waste stream and diversion of the C&D debris waste stream among others. Table
3 below provides projections of the remaining capacity in the C&D debris landfill. A compaction rate of
ijoo lbs/cubic yard and C&D debris disposal rate increasing at a rate of io% based on the total C&D
debris received during FY 2017-2018 has been assumed.

* All projections assume annual growth of 10% for the C&D debris waste stream. Values denote remaining capacity
at the beginning of the Fiscal Year
The remaining useable airspace in the C&D debris landfill is approximately 12O,323 cubic yards. It is
estimated that the C&D debris landfill will likely reach its ultimate capacity sometime in mid-2O19 if the
C&D debris waste stream continues to grow at approximately io% per year and no C&D debris is
transferred. The County currently has an operation to divert a portion of the C&D debris waste stream.
If 25% of the C&D debris waste stream is diverted and continues to grow at approximately io% per year,
the landfill will likely reach its ultimate capacity in mid-2020. If as much as 50% of the C&D debris waste
stream can be diverted and continues to grow at approximately io% per year, the landfill will likely reach
its ultimate capacity in mid-2021. If as much as 75% of the C&D debris waste stream can be diverted and
continues to grow at approximately io% per year, the landfill will likely reach its ultimate capacity in late-
2023. Variables that will affect the remaining capacity of the landfill include the compaction rate,
changes (growth or decline) in the C&D debris waste stream, diversion of the C&D debris waste stream,
the local building industry, and weather events. Periodic monitoring of the remaining capacity will key to
long-term solid waste planning efforts.

3 OPERATION PLAN
3.1 Introduction
The operation plan has been prepared in accordance NCAC 13B .0542 (Section .0542) for C&D debris
landfills and NCAC 13B .1630 (Section .1630) for MSW landfills. Operation of the C&D debris landfill is
required to be in accordance with Section .0542 and Section .163o by the August 13, 2014 Permit to
Operate. It is necessary to include Section .163o as part of the operation plan to account for
groundwater monitoring requirements for the closed MSW landfill. Section .0542 governs the operation
of C&D debris, and all conditions of the Permit to Operate granted by the NC Division of Waste
Management shall take precedence and be complied with by landfill operations if there are any factual or
perceived contradictions with the text of this plan. A copy of Section .0542 and Section .163o are
provided in Exhibit 2.
The operation plan describes proposed operations for the C&D debris landfill. The landfill accepts only
C&D debris as specified in Section .0542. Although the C&D debris landfill is reaching ultimate
capacity, most of the methods and procedures in this operation plan are applied to general landfilling
activities and should be followed for all landfill operations.
This operation plan provides specific information and guidance for the operators and managers of the
C&D debris landfill. The success of the operation at this site depends upon each employee properly
performing the assigned job. The operation plan is intended to serve as a site reference and training
document. Every employee shall be required to become knowledgeable of this landfill operating plan.
The operation drawings have been updated and are included with this amendment to the Permit to
Operate. The operation drawings include site conditions, Phase 6 revised grading plan, sections of the
C&D debris landfill, closure cap details, and miscellaneous details.
As Phase 6 is constructed and brought to final grades, several gas vents associated with the MSW landfill
closure will be impacted. These gas vents shall be extended vertically during landfilling activities so they
do not become buried.

3.2.4 Operational Life of Landfill
Approximately 120,323 cubic yards of useable airspace remains in the C&D debris landfill. The
remaining capacity of the C&D debris landfill is dependent on the C&D debris waste stream and diversion
of the C&D debris waste stream. Based on these factors the C&D debris landfill could reach its ultimate
capacity in mid-2019. See Section 2.2 for additional information.
3.2.5 Acceptable Waste
The C&D debris landfill may only accept wastes it is permitted receive. These wastes included
construction or demolition debris, inert debris, land clearing debris, and asphalt. The C&D debris landfill
is restricted by local resolution to only accept and dispose of C&D debris generated within Brunswick
County.
3.2.6 Personnel and Duties
The county employs six (6) full time personnel at the landfill facility. Those include one (1) C&D debris
landfill supervisor, one (1) scale house operator and four (4) equipment operators. It is assumed that the
existing staff size is adequate for routine daily operations. Additional County personnel from the
Operation Services Department are available as backup during periods of peak activity.
3.2.7 Site Communication
Communications at the landfill facility center around the scale house and C&D debris landfill office.
These locations provide the communication link to points outside and inside the landfill facility.
Standard telephone service (land -line) is located in the scale house and the landfill office. The primary
purpose of the standard telephone service is to communicate to points outside the landfill facility.
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstrUGtiOn & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 18

Cellular (mobile) phone service is used by staff to communicate inside the landfill facility and to points
outside the landfill facility.
3.3 Waste Acceptance and Disposal Requirements
3.3.1 Acceptable Wastes
The C&D debris landfill is permitted to receive the following waste types:
• Unless otherwise specifically approved by permit condition, only "construction" or "demolition"
types of solid wastes as defined by NC General Statute (NCGS)13oA-290 (a)(4) are permitted for
acceptance and disposal in the C&D debris landfill
• "Construction or demolition debris" as defined by NCGS 13oA-290 (a)(4) means solid waste
resulting solely from construction, remodeling, repair or demolition operations on pavement,
buildings, or other structures, but does not include inert debris, land clearing debris or yard
debris
• "Inert debris" as defined in NCGS 13oA-290 (14) means solid waste that consists solely of
material that is virtually inert and is likely to retain its physical and chemical structure under
expected conditions of disposal such as brick, concrete, rock, and clean soil.
• "Land clearing debris" as defined in NCGS 13oA-290 (15) means solid waste that is generated
solely from land -clearing activities such as stumps and tree trunks
• "Asphalt" in accordance with NCGS 13oA-294 (m)
As part of normal operation of the C&D debris landfill, Brunswick County disposes of most inert debris in
their Land Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID) landfill (Permit No. 1oE - LCID). Additionally, most land
clearing debris is disposed in the Large, Type 1 Yard Waste Compost Facility (Permit No. 1007-Compost).
While these wastes are acceptable to be disposed in the C&D debris landfill, Brunswick County
alternatively disposes of these materials in other permitted facilities to promote reuse of materials.
Wastes accepted for disposal in the C&D debris landfill must be readily identifiable as C&D debris and
must not have been shredded, pulverized, or processed to such an extent that the composition of the
original waste cannot be readily ascertained except as specified in section 3.3.2.
Asbestos may be received if the package properly and managed in accordance with 40 CFR 61. When
asbestos is received at the C&D debris landfill, the load is immediately directed to the working face of the
C&D debris landfill. The asbestos will be buried in an area at the bottom of the working face. The area
where asbestos is placed will immediately be covered with soil. The location that asbestos is disposed will
be documented in the permanent operating records of the C&D debris landfill.
3.3.2 Prohibited Wastes
The following wastes are prohibited from disposal in the C&D debris landfill:
Containers such as tubes, drums, barrels, tanks, cans, and bottles unless they are empty and
perforated to ensure that no liquid, hazardous or municipal solid waste is contained therein
Garbage as defined in NCGS 13oA-2o9(a)(7)
Hazardous waste as defined in NCGS 13oA-29o(a)(8), to also include hazardous waste from
conditionally exempt small quantity generators
Dewberry Brunswick County Construction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 19

• Industrial solid waste
• Liquid wastes
• Medical waste as defined in NCGS 13oA-29o(a)(i8)
• Municipal solid waste as defined in NCGS 13oA-29o(a)(i8a)
• Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) wastes as defined in 40 CFR 761
• Radioactive waste as defined in NCGS 104E-5(14)
• Septage as defined in NCGS 13oA-29o(a)(32)
• Sludge as defined in NCGS 13oA-29o(a)(34)
• Special wastes as defined in NCGS 13oA-29o(a)(44)
• Yard trash as defined in NCGS 13oA-29o(a)(45)
• Wastewater treatment sludge
If separated from C&D debris the following wastes cannot be disposed of in the C&D debris landfill:
• Lamps or bulbs including but not limited to halogen, incandescent, neon, or fluorescent
• Lighting ballast or fixtures
• Thermostats and light switches
• Batteries including but not limited to those from exit and emergency lights and smoke detectors
• Lead pipes
• Lead roof flashing
• Transformers
• Capacitors
• Copper chrome arsenate (CCA)
• Creosote treated woods
The owner or operator of a C&D debris landfill must not knowingly dispose of any type or form of C&D
waste that is generated within the boundaries of a unit of local government that by ordinance:
• Prohibits generators and collectors of C&D waste from disposing that form or type of C&D waste
• Requires generators or collectors of C&D waste to recycle that form or type of C&D waste
C&D waste that has been shredded, pulverized, or otherwise processed may be accepted for disposal from
a facility that has received a permit from an authorized regulatory authority which specifies such
activities are inspected by the authority, and whose primary purpose is recycling and reuse of the C&D
material.
Wastewater treatment sludge must not be accepted for disposal. Wastewater treatment sludge may be
accepted, with the approval for the Division, for utilization as a soil conditioner and incorporated into or
applied onto the vegetative growth layer. The wastewater treatment sludge must neither be applied at
greater than agronomic rates not to a depth greater than six inches. Brunswick County has access to
wastewater treatment sludge generated from wastewater facilities owned and operated by the County.
Brunswick County desires to use this sludge as a soil amendment to promote vegetative growth on the
closed MSW landfill and C&D debris landfill.
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 110

3.3.3 Waste Screening
The C&D debris landfill is permitted to receive only C&D debris and as such must not receive hazardous
waste, liquid waste, and other prohibited wastes. Brunswick County will continue their random waste
screening plan for detecting and preventing disposal of hazardous or liquid wastes or any other wastes
the C&D debris landfill is prohibited to receive.
The frequency of random inspections will occur at least once weekly and will be based on the type and
quantity of waste received daily. The inspector must determine the need for additional inspections based
on haulers with an unknown service area, vehicles not typically used to haul C&D debris, or customers
with a past history of bringing prohibited wastes to the landfill facility for disposal. All random
inspections must be recorded in the C&D debris landfill operating record.
The scale house operator will generally conduct random inspections. These random inspections will be
performed on the landfill scales or the scale house operator will direct the customer to pull off of the scale
on the west side of the scale house. If the scale house operator definitively determines that the waste is
acceptable for disposal in the C&D debris landfill, the customer will be directed to the C&D debris landfill
(MSW Transfer Station for diversion) for disposal. If the scale house operator cannot definitively
determine that the waste is acceptable for disposal in the C&D debris landfill, the scale house operator
may direct the customer to the operating face of the C&D debris landfill. On the operating face, the load
will be dumped and carefully spread with mechanized equipment to identify if the load contains any
hazardous or liquid waste. If no hazardous or liquid waste is found, the load will be disposed of the C&D
debris landfill. If the inspector determines that the load contains hazardous or liquid wastes, the C&D
debris landfill will not accept the waste and require the customer to remove the waste from the landfill
facility. If it is determined that the load cannot be disposed in the C&D debris landfill, but could be
disposed in an MSW facility, the customer will be directed to the MSW Transfer Station.
If hazardous or liquid wastes are discovered and they have been unloaded at the landfill facility, the
appropriate emergency officials will be contacted to assist in the response to handle this situation.
Brunswick County will provide training to landfill facility staff to recognize regulated hazardous and
liquid wastes.
3.3.4 Weighing Solid Waste
All incoming C&D debris shall be weighed in order to ensure accurate waste stream records. The general
procedure shall consist of two basic approaches. The first approach shall be a "weighed twice" approach
where the incoming vehicle shall be weighed upon entering the landfill facility and again after disposing
C&D debris. The second approach will be to utilize certified "empty vehicle weights" and the actual
incoming weight to establish the weight of the waste. The scale house attendant shall be responsible for
recording the resulting waste weight under both approaches.
3.4 Cover Material Requirements
3.4.1 Weekly Cover
Brunswick County will cover disposed C&D debris with six (6) inches of earthen material when the waste
disposal area exceeds one-half acre and at least once weekly. Cover must be placed more frequently if
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 111

necessary to control disease vectors, fires, blowing litter, and scavenging. The date and time of cover
placement must be recorded in the operating record for the C&D debris landfill. Adequate amounts of
weekly cover will be maintained at the landfill and available at all times.
3.4.2 Additional Cover Requirements
Brunswick County must provide twelve (12) inches of intermediate soil cover over a waste area where
waste placement will be inactive for three (3) months or more, but where final termination of disposal
operations has not occurred.
3.5 Spreading and Compacting Requirements
The C&D debris landfill must restrict waste into the smallest area feasible. Additionally, C&D debris
must be compacted as densely as practical. Proper construction of the C&D debris landfill involves
spreading and compacting C&D debris.
Waste will be placed in lifts of approximately 5-feet and will not exceed io-feet. Spreading of C&D debris
will be done by either a compactor or bulldozer. The purpose of spreading action is to move C&D debris
from the unloading location into the working face and to distribute C&D debris over the working face in a
thin layer (approximately 2-feet). Following spreading of C&D debris, the waste will be compacted as
densely as possible using a compactor or a bulldozer. Compaction will be achieved by operating the
compactor or bulldozer up and down the working face to maximize the compaction rate for useable
airspace.
3.6 Disease Vector Control
Brunswick County will control the spread of disease of vectors by cleaning up litter and windblown debris
on a routine basis, providing weekly cover, maintaining a small working face, and minimizing standing
water at the C&D debris landfill.
3.7 Air Quality and Fire control
3.7.1 Title V Air Permit Requirements
Brunswick County shall operate the C&D debris landfill as not to violate any applicable requirements
developed under the State Implementation Plan (SIP) approved or promulgated by the US EPA
Administrator pursuant to Section iio of the Clean Air Act, as amended. The Brunswick County C&D
debris landfill should not be required to obtain a Title V operating permit.
3.7.2 Open Burning Ban
Open burning of solid waste, except for the approve burning of land clearing debris generated on -site or
debris from emergency clean-up operations, is prohibited at all C&D debris landfills. Prior to any
burning a request must be sent to the NC Division of Waste Management for review. The NC Division of
Waste Management will determine the burning to be approved if it is one of the two types of burning
listed above.
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 112

3.7.3 When Fire Occurs
The following steps should be taken when a fire occurs:
• Immediately extinguish small fires with fire extinguisher or smother with soil. If fire cannot be
immediately extinguished through on -site means, contact the fire department (911) at once.
• Determine location, extent, type, and if possible, cause of fire or explosion
• Notify C&D debris landfill supervisor and implement safety and fire control procedures
• Notify fire department if necessary. Clearly state:
o Location of C&D debris landfill
o Location of fire or explosion at C&D debris landfill
o Extent of fire or explosion
o Type of fire or explosion
o Actions now being taken
o Any injuries
Provide verbal notification to the NC Division of Waste Management with 24 hours of a fire at
the C&D debris landfill and written notice within 15 days.
3.7.4 "Hot Load" Procedures
A "hot load" is a load of burning C&D debris is an incoming truck. It may be actively burning, but more
than likely just smoldering. When a "hot load" is discovered in a vehicle, the driver shall be directed to
dump the C&D debris away from the actual working face of the C&D debris landfill and clear of
vegetation and debris. A suitable location is the dirt area southeast of the MSW Transfer Station. The
load should be dumped and landfill personnel should attempt to smother the fire using soil or by
applying water. Additionally, the local fire department should be notified immediately (911).
Should a "hot load" be accidently dumped on the working face of the C&D debris landfill, it will
immediately be watered and have soil applied. The local fire department should be notified immediately.
3.7.5 Local Fire Department
The local fire department will be notified of the potential fire risks at the C&D debris landfill.
Arrangements will be made with the local fire department to provide access in the case of emergency.
The local fire department will also be provided operational information related to fire response.
3.8 Access and Safety Requirements
Access to the C&D debris landfill is via US 17, Galloway Road, and Landfill Road. Landfill Road is paved
to the landfill facility gate. The entrance allows for safe and orderly traffic flow into and out of the
landfill facility. This applies to the intersection of Landfill Road and Galloway Road and the landfill
facility gate area. Signs posting hours of operations, unloading procedures, permit number, disposal
restrictions and other pertinent information specified in the permit conditions are provided at the
entrance (landfill facility gate area).
All vehicles entering the landfill facility are to stop at the scale house for security check -in, identification
and to be weighed. Once vehicles delivering C&D debris have been weighed, they shall follow signs
posted along the access road or directions provided by the scale house attendant to either the MSW
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 113

Transfer Station or the C&D debris landfill for disposal. Traffic signs are provided as necessary to and
from the unloading areas and to maintain efficient operating conditions. After the C&D debris has been
unloaded, all vehicles will be weighed again at the scale house such that the net weight of loads can be
recorded and payment collected.
Fencing is provided at the main entrance (landfill facility gate area) to discourage vandalism, scavenging
or trespassing when the landfill is not open. Landfill facility boundaries should be checked regularly for
evidence of unauthorized personnel and vehicle entry. The front gate should be locked when the landfill
is closed to operations. Scavenging is prohibited and enforced by the C&D debris landfill operator.
Posting of "No Trespassing" signs around the periphery of the landfill facility will help to discourage
unauthorized entry. Lines of communication should be established with the local sheriff department to
perform routine surveillance and surveillance if suspicious activity is suspected by the landfill facility
staff. The removal of solid waste from the landfill is prohibited unless approved by the NC Division of
Waste Management (C&D transfer/diversion operation).
An individual trained in landfill operations must be on duty at all times during active waste
management operations to ensure compliance with operational requirements.
3.9 Erosion and Sedimentation Control Requirements
The Brunswick County landfill facility is covered by a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit issued
by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Land Quality Section. The
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit was issued on July 11, 2012 under Project ID: BRUNS-2012-
041. Mr. Dan Sams (Environmental Program Supervisor, NCDEQ Energy, Mineral and Land Resources
Land Quality Section, Wilmington Regional Office) confirmed that the existing permit will be active until
the landfill is ready to be closed. A new permit will be required for closure construction. A copy of the
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit is included in Exhibit 3.
Existing and proposed sedimentation and erosion control devices include sediment basins, temporary
diversion ditches, permanent ditches, temporary check dams, temporary silt fence, temporary silt fence
outlets, slope drains, permanent sediment basins, temporary and permanent inlet and outlet protection,
and temporary and permanent seeding. All of these devices shall be maintained in accordance with the
Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual and the approved permit.
As a permittee of a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit, Brunswick County performs self -
inspections as required by the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. The self -inspections are required to
be completed after the completion of each phase of construction. These self -inspections focus on the
installation and maintenance of erosion and sedimentation control measures according to the approved
plan. Brunswick County performs self -inspections after the completion of each phase of construction or
at least quarterly.
As required by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit —
NCGol0000, which is included as part of the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit, Brunswick
County performs inspections every seven (7) days or within twenty -fours (24) hours of every rainfall
event of 0.5 inches or greater. These inspections are to confirm that all temporary and permanent
sedimentation and erosion control devices are being adequately maintained and are functioning. These
inspections ensure that excessive on -site erosion is prevented and that Stormwater Pollution is
minimized during normal operating procedures.
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 114

3.10 Drainage Control and Water Protection Requirements
3.10.1 Surface Water
Surface water will be diverted away from the operating face of the C&D debris landfill. This is achieved
by using temporary diversion ditches and permanent ditches that direct surface water runoff to
sedimentation and erosion control devices. Surface water will not be impounded over or in C&D debris
waste. Additionally, C&D debris shall not be disposed of in water.
3.10.2 Discharge of Water and Leachate
Leachate must be contained on -site or treated prior to discharge. C&D debris landfills must not:
Cause a discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States, including wetlands , that violates
any requirements of the Clean Water Act, including the NPDES requirements, pursuant to
Section 402
• Cause the discharge of a nonpoint source of pollution to waters of the United States, including
wetlands, that violates any requirement of an area -wide or State-wide water quality management
plan that has been approved under Section 208 or 319 of the Clean Water Act, as amended.
3.10.3 NPDES General Permit
The C&D debris landfill, MSW Transfer Station, and recycling collection facilities are covered under and
NPDES General Permit — NCG120000. The Certificate of Coverage number is NCG120ogo. A copy of
this permit is included in Exhibit 4. Brunswick County performs both qualitative and quantitative
monitoring and complies with the Tiered reporting system as required by this permit.
3.11 Survey for Compliance
Brunswick County must obtain a yearly survey of the C&D debris landfill. This yearly survey is typically
obtained after July 1 in order to capture the total tonnage of the previous fiscal year. The purpose of this
yearly survey is to update the topographic map of the C&D debris landfill and verify operations are being
conducted in compliance of the approved design and operation plans.
Brunswick County performs this yearly survey within 6o days of receiving a request to do so from the NC
Division of Waste Management. The results of this survey are submitted to the NC Division of Waste
Management in the form of a Landfill Disposal Efficiency Report or a letter report to verify capacity and
landfill disposal efficiency. This documentation of verification of compliance will be provided to the NC
Division of Waste Management within 90 days of receipt of the request for the survey.
3.12 Recordkeeping Requirements and Operating Record
3.12.1 Recordkeeping Requirements
Landfill personnel shall record and retain at the C&D debris landfill facility, or an alternative location
near the facility approved by the NC Division of Waste Management, the following information:

3.14 C&D Debris Sorting and Recycling Operation
A C&D debris sorting and recycling operation was permitted as part of the Permit to Operate issued on
August 13, 2014. To date, Brunswick County has not begun the C&D debris sorting and recycling
operation. Brunswick County desires to keep the C&D debris sorting and recycling operation as part of
the Operation Plan for the C&D debris landfill.
3.14.1 Acceptable Waste for Recycling
Acceptable recyclable material will consist of untreated wood, cardboard, metal, gypsum board, HDPE,
and commingled recyclable materials.
The scale house operator has been trained according to the SWANA for waste screening and landfill
operations. The scale house operator will screen all incoming C&D waste to determine if the waste
contains acceptable recyclable materials. If the incoming waste contains acceptable recyclable materials
that appear to be easily separated from general C&D waste, the scale house operator will direct the
vehicle to the C&D sorting pad. Once at the sorting pad, the load will be inspected again by an employee
to screen for acceptable materials for recycling. The county will only process recyclable materials which
has a vendor for collection. All unacceptable recyclables will be disposed of in the C&D debris landfill or
at the transfer station.
If the load is determined not to be easily sorted once dumped, the vehicle will be reloaded and directed to
the appropriate disposal area. If the load can be sorted, the recyclable material will be removed and the
remaining waste will be loaded into a dump truck and placed in the appropriate disposal area.
The acceptable recyclable material will be sorted and placed in appropriate storage areas as follows:
• Untreated wood will be stockpiled adjacent to the current compost area. Parker Bark will collect
the untreated wood once 45 cubic yards is collected.
• Cardboard will be taken to the current baler located adjacent to the transfer station daily. The
cardboard will be bailed by Waste Industries and collected by Carolina Fiber, under an existing
Dewberry Brunswick County lConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 117

contract. The cardboard is collected from the bailer approximately once per week.
• Metal will be stored at the existing white goods area and on the concrete sorting pad. Don's
Scrap Metal, the existing vendor, will collect the metal along with all other white goods
approximately once per month or more often if necessary.
• Gypsum board will be stored in a closed container adjacent to the concrete storage pad. Union
Gypsum will collect the material once the container is full
• HDPE, generated from construction waste, will be stored in an existing shed near the break
room. Envision Plastics will collect the material. HDPE will consist of materials such as plastic
pipe, liner, plaster buckets, and vinyl siding.
• All commingled material currently collected will be placed in a trash can and emptied daily into
the existing commingled recycling container located next to the swap shop. The commingled
recyclable material will be collect under an existing contract by Waste Industries approximately
once every other month or more often if necessary. Commingled recyclables consist of No.1 and
No.2 plastics, glass (clear, green and brown), paper (office, newspaper and junk mail),
aluminum cans, steel cans, and cardboard.
Only C&D waste will be screened for recyclable materials. Materials and/or loads that is not acceptable
for recycling will be transferred to containers that are hauled to a permitted facility off -site or will be
disposed of in the Brunswick County C&D debris Landfill.
3.14.2 Personnel and Duties
Recyclable materials will be sorted manually by landfill personnel. An excavator with grapple and thumb
will be sued to place recyclable materials in containers.
3.14.3 Asbestos
Materials containing asbestos will not be considered for the C&D debris sorting and recycling operation.
If C&D debris containing asbestos is received, it will be handled using the procedures provided in section
3.3.1.
3.14.4 Equipment
The county owns a mini -excavator to facilitate sorting and recycling of wastes.
3.14.5 Hazardous or Other Unacceptable Wastes
Incoming waste which is delivered to the sorting pad will be screened for hazardous or other
unacceptable materials in accordance with the existing waste screening plan. If unacceptable materials
are discovered after being unloaded, it will be handled according to procedures set forth section 3.3.3• If
hazardous waste is discovered after being unloaded and the driver has left the facility, the hazardous
waste will be collected by landfill employees and stored in an appropriate location. The hazardous
material will be collected from the storage area and properly disposed of during one of the semi-annual
household hazardous waste collection events.
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 118

4 CLOSURE PLAN AND POST CLOSURE PLAN
4.1 Closure Activities
4.1.1 Closure Time Frame
Depending on waste stream variability and management of the amount of C&D debris transported off site
for disposal, the landfill is projected to reach design capacity in mid-2019. For detailed discussion of
landfill capacity and potential closure time frame scenarios see the DRAFT Landfill Disposal Efficiency
Study, dated September 7, 2oi8.
4.1.2 Closure Performance Standards
The entire site will be covered with a final cover system. This final cover system will substantially reduce
the amount of rain water infiltrating into the waste. The cover system also controls the release of landfill
gas by directing gas flow to gas vents. The low permeability layer of the cap system liner, in conjunction
with gas vents, make subsurface off -site landfill gas migration highly unlikely.
Final grades are designed to route surface water off the final cover into terraces and perimeter ditches
reducing the amount of infiltration and erosion. The final grades are designed with surface slopes
between 5% and 25 % to ensure that ponding will not occur and to fulfill the requirement set forth in of
15A NCAC 13B.0543• Final cover will be seeded to minimize erosion and to stabilize the slopes. Once
vegetation is established, it is expected that surface maintenance will be reduced.
Stormwater runoff from the top of the cover will be captured by ditching around the perimeter of the
disposal area and conveyed to a sediment basin before being discharged to a nearby stream.
Erosion control on the cover will be accomplished by means of the vegetation ground cover. In the
drainage ditches where a higher flow velocity is expected, stone "rip -rap" will be used to minimize the
erosion of the base of the capped cell. Erosion control will also be achieved under a sedimentation and
erosion control permit approved by NCDENR.
Sampling and testing of groundwater will be done on a quarterly basis through the entire life of the
landfill and post -closure period. Surface water sampling will be done semi-annually. If contamination is
found in the ground water or surface water the action required will be determined at that time based on
the extent and concentration of the release.
4.1.3 Cover Design
The closure design details include three options for the final closure cap system. The options are shown on
drawing C-5 and are described below. In each of the options, the foundation material will be placed directly
over the construction and demolition debris waste. In accordance with 15A NCAC 13B.0543 and 15A NCAC
13B.1627, each of the cap design alternatives will meet the design requirement for the permeability of 1 x
10-5 cm/sec.
Option A uses a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) as the barrier layer component. The Option A closure cap
will include the following, from top to bottom:
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 119

1. 6-inch topsoil layer
2. 18-inch protective soil layer
3. Geocomposite
4. Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL)
5. 12-inch (min.) foundation material
The top three layers will make up the vegetative and protective soil layer component, while the GCL will
act as the barrier layer component.
Option B uses a geomembrane liner as the barrier layer component. The Option B closure cap will include
the following, from top to bottom:
1. 6-inch topsoil layer
2. 18-inch protective soil layer
3. Geocomposite
4• 40 mil textured LLDPE or VFPR geomembrane liner
5. 12-inch (min.) foundation material
The top three layers will make up the vegetative and protective soil layer component, while the
geomembrane liner will act as the barrier layer component.
Option C uses a compacted clay liner as the barrier layer component. The Option C closure cap will include
the following, from top to bottom:
1. 18-inch protective soil layer (Top 6-inches shall be topsoil to promote vegetative cover)
2. 18-inch compacted clay liner
3. 12-inch (min.) foundation material
The top two layers will make up the vegetative and protective soil layer component, while the compacted
clay liner will act as the barrier layer component.
The top layer in the landfill cap profile is the 6-inch topsoil layer to support vegetative growth. In the
short term, this layer prevents wind and water erosion, protects the barrier layer from root penetration,
minimizes the percolation of surface water into the cap system and maximizes evapotranspiration, the
loss of water from soil by evaporation and transpiration. The vegetative layer also functions in the long
term to enhance aesthetics and to promote a self sustaining ecosystem on top of the landfill.
Fertilizer will be applied to the vegetative supporting soils and will be standard commercial type and
uniform in composition. Quantities of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium needed for fertilizer will be
determined by testing vegetative supporting soils. Alternatively, waste sludge may be used as a soil
amendment in combination with fertilizer.
Seeding will be accomplished either by hydroseeding a combination of seed and fertilizer or by spreading
seed and mulch. The following seeding combination will be followed:
• Pensecola Bahia Grass Seed
• Creeping Red Fescue Grass Seed
• Bermuda Unhulled Grass Seed
• Carpet Grass Seed
• Rye Grass Seed
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 120

Seeds are mixed equally and applied at a rate of 8o-1oo lbs/acre.
The landfill cap system will require maintenance following closure. Maintenance activities would be
similar for each of the cap system alternatives presented above. Regular maintenance will include
mowing of the vegetative cover to discourage the growth of large plants with deep root systems that may
damage the low permeability layer of the cap system. Other maintenance needs, such as repairs due to
settlement and subsidence, and clearing of drainage features are discussed in greater detail in the Post
Closure Activities section of this document.
4.1.4 Premature Closure
Premature closure is the closure of the site prior to all areas being filled to capacity. It is anticipated that
the full capacity of the C&D debris landfill will be utilized, and that it has capacity to remain in operation
through 2019 or longer. However 15A NCAC 13B.0543(c)(5)(c) requires closure if no waste is placed in
the landfill for a period of one year even if there is capacity remaining.
There are currently more than 10 acres of waste within 15 feet of design grade. However, premature
closure will not be initiated in these areas in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B.0543(c)(5)(b) because the
approved landfill configuration allows placement of additional waste above these areas.
4.1.5 Posting and Notification
As the site nears capacity of its final disposal area Brunswick County shall notify the Division of Waste
Management that a notice of intent to close the unit has been placed in the operating record, in
accordance with 15A NCAC 13B.0543(c)(4)•
Upon final receipt of waste, the closure activities will begin within thirty (3o) days. The main entrance
gate to the C&D debris landfill will be closed and locked and a sign will be posted stating that the site no
longer accepts wastes and will indicate the location of the new landfill or transfer station. All closure
activities will be completed within one -hundred and eighty (18o) days following the beginning of closure.
If closure cannot be completed within 18o days, the owner or operator will request an extension from the
Division of Waste Management in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B. 0543(c)(6).
The Division of Waste Management will be notified in writing upon completion of final closure and a
certification, signed by the project engineer will be placed in the operating record verifying that closure
has been completed in accordance with the closure plan. In addition, deeds for the property will be
marked to clearly indicate, in perpetuity, the past use of the land as a solid waste disposal facility and its
use is restricted under the closure plan approved by the Division of Waste Management. A copy of the
deed will be placed in the operating record.
4.1.6 Financial Assurance
According to 15A NCAC 13B.0546 and 15A NCAC 13B.1628, the owners or operators of MSW and C&D
debris landfills must provide financial assurance for the cost incurred in closure and post closure care of
landfill facilities. This plan is designed to provide funds for closure of disposal areas and to provide funds
for a 30-year post closure care period following closure of all areas.
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 121

The cap system and the methods and procedures to be used to install the cap are discussed in section
6.1.3 "Cover Design," above. The largest area of the C&D debris landfill unit ever requiring the specified
cap system will be 58.9 acres. The maximum inventory of wastes ever on -site over the active life of
vertical expansion is estimated to be 1,146,1oo cubic yards. The county shall provide continuous coverage
for post closure care until released from financial assurance requirements for post closure care. An
opinion of closure and post closure costs are summarized in Exhibit 5.
The requirements for financial assurance for potential assessment and corrective action (PACA) for
sanitary landfills under North Carolina General Statute 13oA-295.2(h) is applicable because the C&D
debris landfill is constructed on top of a former MSWLF. According to an August 12, 2013 memorandum
from the NC Division of Waste Management (Exhibit 6), financial assurance for PACA of $2 million will
be acceptable without cost estimate. A cost opinion to support the PACA cost will be provided at such a
time that the Division of Waste Management provides updated guidance on the PACA program.
Several allowable mechanisms used to demonstrate financial assurance are listed in 15A NCAC
13B.0546(b). The County demonstrates financial assurance based on a local government financial
assurance test.
4.2 Post -Closure Activities
Post -closure care will be implemented following closure of the landfill unit. Post -closure shall be
conducted for thirty years. A post -closure plan including monitoring and maintenance activities required,
person to contact, property usage after closure and post -closure financial assurance are presented as
follows.
4.2.1 Person to Contact
The name, address and telephone number of the person to contact about the facility during the post -
closure period is:
COUNTY OF BRUNSWICK, NORTH CAROLINA
ATTN: OPERATION SERVICES DEPARTMENT
POST OFFICE BOX 249
179 MARCH 9, 1764 DRIVE NORTHEAST
BOLIVIA, NORTH CAROLINA 28422
4.2.2 Security
The County's existing landfill facility, consisting of an estimated 137 acres, is entirely enclosed by a
combination of natural and man-made barriers. The natural barriers consist of dense woods, vegetation
and streams. Vehicular access is limited to one entrance which is fenced and has a gate which is locked
whenever the landfill is not in operation (i.e., at the end of every workday, on weekends and on holidays).
When the landfill is open, County employees are on hand to insure that proper waste disposal
procedures, including location are followed.
4.2.3 Maintenance and Inspection
The post -closure maintenance program will consist of routine inspection of all the systems of the landfill
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 122

facility. The County will maintain an adequate staff to administer activities during the post -closure
period. The staff will be responsible for post -closure site maintenance, inspection and surveillance of the
monitoring system. A description of problem areas identified during regular inspections and actions to be
taken (if any) will be noted in the operating record. The following are items that will be maintained and
inspected periodically.
4.2.3.1 Erosion Damage
Erosion will tend to be a seasonal and weather related occurrence. In times of wet weather there will be a
greater tendency for erosion problems. Wind erosion should not be a factor as long as the ground cover is
well established. In times of heavy rains it may be necessary to visit the site after each storm, however in
most instances the evidence of erosion will become readily apparent after the first inspection and steps
will need to be implemented to stop the erosion. Any damage to the cap system will be repaired with like
materials in accordance with original construction requirements for compaction or seaming (as
applicable) and areas will be reseeded. Records of the quarterly inspection will be noted in the operating
record.
4.2.3.2 Cover Settlement, Subsidence and Displacement
Existing conditions will be noted during quarterly inspections. Any signs of disturbance which could
cause ponding and/or infiltration by liquids will need to be immediately addressed with corrective
actions. Material will be added and compacted in areas of settlement to bring it back to original levels.
Displaced cover will be repaired as needed. Careful attention will be made to reseeding and erosion
control measures.
The settlement of the top surface will depend upon such variables as the ratio of waste to cover; depth of
waste fill; moisture content of waste, age of the fill, etc. There is no "standard" for settlement
calculations. Excessive settlement is not anticipated at this facility due to the compaction provided by
modern equipment.
This fill site will experience some settling. The final contours planned for the C&D debris landfill are
designed to allow for some settlement, yet still provide sufficient slope to promote run off and prevent
ponding.
The low permeability layer of the cap system cover may have enough elasticity to minimize damage in
cases of minor settlement. In the event of drastic settlement the likelihood of damage to the low
permeability layer of the cap system is greater. If the low permeability layer of the cap system is damaged,
the cap system will be repaired with like materials in accordance with original construction requirements
for compaction or seaming (as applicable) and areas will be reseeded.
4.2.3.3 Vegetative Cover Conditions
Regular maintenance will include mowing of the vegetative cover to discourage the growth of large plants
with deep root systems that may damage the low permeability layer of the cap system. Once the cover
vegetation is established it will be necessary to keep the cover intact, but not overgrown. Sparsely
vegetated areas identified during routine inspections must be reseeded.
Dewberry Brunswick County IConstruction & Demolition Debris Landfill Amendment to the Permit to Operate 123

4.2.3.4 Surface Water Control System
Inspections will need to verify that all ditches and terraces are working properly to convey run off without
causing erosion of the cap system soils. Sediment build-up will need to be noted. Field inspections will
determine if additional control measures are needed. All drainage pipes will be routinely checked for
sediment build-up and blockages and will be cleaned out when build-up exceeds 1/2 the depth of the
pipe.
4.2.3.5 Groundwater Monitoring System
This system consists of a network of monitoring wells whose integrity must be kept intact to assure that
accurately representative ground water samples can be collected throughout the monitoring period
including the post -closure period. They provide the basis for determining if there is leachate leaking into
ground water and for evaluating how successful the cap system has been in containing and minimizing
the production of leachate. The monitoring wells will therefore be kept capped and locked and at all times
and provided with sufficient protection to keep them from being damaged, inadvertently or intentionally.
Groundwater monitoring will be performed in accordance with the Water Quality Monitoring Plan
(Appendix C).
4.2.3.6 Gas Collection/Venting System
This system will be monitored to insure that the venting outlets are free from obstruction and that the
seal between the vent pipes and the low permeability layer of the cap system cap are intact, thus deterring
stormwater from entering the interior of the landfill unit. Gas monitoring will be performed in
accordance with the Gas Monitoring Plan (Appendix D).
4.2.4 Property Usage
The County of Brunswick has no plans to use the landfill property for other uses once closure has been
completed.

1. This plan approval shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, if no land
disturbing activity has been undertaken, as is required by Title 15A NCAC 48 .0129.
2, The developer is responsible for the control of sediment on -site. If the approved erosion
and sedimentation control measures prove insufficient, the developer must take those
additional steps necessary to stop sediment from leaving this site. Each sediment storage
device must be inspected after each storm event. Maintenance and/or clean out is
necessary anytime the device is at 50% capacity.
3. Any and all existing ditches on this project site are assumed to be left undisturbed by the
proposed development unless otherwise noted. The removal of vegetation within any
existing ditch or channel is prohibited unless the ditch or channel is to be regarded with side
slopes of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or less steep. Bank slopes may be mowed, but stripping
of vegetation is considered new earth work and is subject to the same erosion control
requirements as new ditches.
4. The developer is responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approvals necessary for
the development of this project prior to the commencement of this land disturbing activity.
This could include agencies such as the Division of Water Quality's stormwater regulations,
their enforcement requirements within Section 401 of the Clean Water Act; the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Division of
Coastal Management's CAMA requirements, the Division of Solid Waste Management's
landfill regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency and/or The U.S. Army Carps of
Engineers jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, local County or Municipalities' ordinances, or
others that may be required. This approval cannot supersede any other permit or approval;
however, in the case of a Cease and Desist Order from the Corps of Engineers, that Order
would only apply to wetland areas. All high ground would still have to be in compliance with
the N.C. Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
If any area on site falls within the jurisdiction of Section 401 or 404 of the Clean Water Act,
the developer is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Division of Water
Quality, the Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
respectively. Any erosion control measures that fall within jurisdictional wetland areas must
be approved by the aforementioned agencies prior to installation. The Land Quality Section
must be notified of a relocation of the measures in question to the transition point between
the wetlands and the uplands to assure that the migration of sediment will not occur. If that
relocation presents a problem or contradicts any requirements of either DWQ, the Corps, or
the EPA, it is the responsibility of time developer to inform time Land Quality Section regional
office s❑ that an adequate contingency plan can be made to assure sufficient erosion control
remains on site.

6. Any borrow material brought onto this site must be from a legally operated mine or other
approved source. Any soil waste that leaves this site can be transported to a permitted
mine or separately permitted construction sites without additional permits. Disposal at any
other location would have to be included as a permit revision for this approval.
7. This permit allows for a land disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed
ninety-six (96) acres_ Exceeding that acreage will be a violation of this permit and would
require a revised plan and additional application fee. Any addition in impervious surface,
over that already noted on the approved plan, would also require a revised plan to verify the
appropriateness of the erosion control measures and stormwater retention measures.
8. The construction detail forthe proposed silt fence requires reinforcing wire and steel posts a
maximum of eight (8) feet apart. Omission of the reinforcing wire is a construction change
that necessitates more posts for support, i.e., the spacing distance needs to be reduced to
no greater than six (6) feet apart.
Because the sediment traps and basins are shown on the plan as the primary sedimentation
and erosion control devices on this project, it is necessary that the traps and basins and
their collection systems be installed before any other grading takes place on site, and that
every structure that receives more than one acre of drainage is built so that each dewaters
only from the surface. If that proves to be impractical, a revised plan must be submitted
and approved that addresses erosion and sediment control needs during the interim period
until the traps and basins are fully functioning.
1 a. A graveled construction entrance must be located at each point of access and egress
available to construction vehicles during the grading and construction phases of this project.
Access and egress from the project site at a point without a graveled entrance will be
considered a violation of this approval. Routine maintenance of the entrances is critical,
11. As a condition of the provided NPDES General Stormwater Permit, groundcover stabilization
must meet specific time frames. Slopes (including cuts, fills, and ditch banks) that are
steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical left exposed will, within seven (7) calendar days after
completion of any phase of grading, be provided with groundcover. Slopes that are 3
horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter will be provided with groundcover within fourteen (14)
calendar days.
12. As a part of routine monitoring of the approved land -disturbing activity, the financially
responsible party shall assure inspections of the area covered by the approved plan after
each phase of the plan has been completed and after establishment of temporary ground
cover in accordance with North: Carolina General Statute 113A 54.1(e).
13. This plan still contains some discrepancies from field conditions, but its success in control
sediment on site will be performance based and if the discrepancies prove relevant to that
goal, we will request a plan revision.

Announcement of Self -Inspection Program
The Sedimentation Pollution Control Act was amended in 2006 to require that
persons responsible for land -disturbing activities inspect a project after each phase
of the project to make sure that the approved erosion and sedimentation control
plan is being followed.
Rules detailing the documentation of these inspections take effect October 1, 2010
The self -inspection program is separate from the weekly self -monitoring program
of the NPDES S#,ormwater Permit for Construction Activities. The focus of the
self inspection report is the installation and maintenance of erosion and
sedimentation control measures according to the approved plan. The inspections
should be conducted after each phase of the project, and continued until permanent
ground cover is established.
Excerpts from the North Carolina General Statues and the North Carolina
Administrative Code concerning self -inspections are enclosed. To better explain
the requirements, a list of Frequently Asked Questions is also enclosed, along with
a Self -Inspection Report form. The Self -Inspection Report form will also be
available as an Excel spreadsheet from the Land Quality web site,

New Self -Inspection Program for
Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Effective October 11, 2010, persons conducting land -disturbing
activities larger than one acre must inspect their project after each
phase of the project, and document the inspection in writing.
Does this only apply to projects approved after October 1, 2010?
No, it applies to both old and new projects.
Who can conduct the inspection? The financially responsible party, landowner
or their agent may conduct the inspection.
Bs a special certification required to do the inspection? No
What is the goal of the self -inspection program? To make sure that the
approved erosion and sedimentation control plan is being followed, including the
installation and maintenance of measures, and the provision of ground cover in a timely
manner.
What has to be inspected? All of the erosion and sedimentation control
measures, including sedimentation control basins, sedimentation traps, sedimentation
ponds, rock dams, temporary diversions, temporary slope drains, rock check dams,
sediment fence or barriers, all forms of inlet protection, storm drainage facilities, energy
dissipaters, and stabilization methods of open channels must be inspected.
What else has to be checked? The need for ground cover should be checked.
Temporary or permanent ground cover must be provided on exposed graded slopes
and fills within 21 calendar days of the completion of a phase of grading. Permanent
ground cover must be provided within 15 working days or 90 calendar days (60 days in
HOW zones), whichever term is shorter, upon the completion of construction or
development.
Do newly installed sedimentation control basins have to be
measured? Yes, the actual dimensions of the basins have to be checked, usually
with a tape measure, and compared to the dimensions on the approved plan -
Do newly installed sedimentation control basins have to be measured
by a Professional Land Surveyor? No. Generally the width and iengt� of
basins can be measured with a tape measure. A level and survey rod may be useful in
checking the depth of a basin. Only relative elevations, comparing the bottom and top
elevations are necessary

Cover Sheet for NCG010000 Revised August 2, 2011
What is this permit?
This is your General Stormwater Permit for
Construction Activities, developed to meet federal
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) requirements. It is separate from your
Erosion and Sedimentation Control (E&SQ Plan,
which has been a North Carolina requirement for
over 35 years.
Federal regulations adopted by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) require an
NPDES permit for .your project. The EPA has
delegated DWQ authority to administer the NPDES
program in North Carolina. Two divisions of the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
are responsible for different parts of the federal
permitting requirements.
The E&SC plan approved by the Division of land
Resources (or a delegated local program) contains
the core erosion control requirements for your
project. The NPDES General Permit issued by
DWQ contains additional requirements related to a
broader range of water quality issues. These
permits are related, but separate. Both contain
conditions your project site must meet.
What does this permit require me to do?
You should read and become
familiar with the provisions of this
permit. Below is a list of the
major requirements, with
indications where those differ
from the previous Construction
General Permit.
EROSION AND
SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN
You must implement the Erosion
and Sedimentation Control Plan
approved for your project by the
Division of Land Resources or by
an approved Ixt I program.
Adherence w that E&SC Plan is
an enforceable component of the
Stormwater Permit.
Are there new requirements
in this permit?
This General Permit reflects changes made in the
federal regulations effective February 1, 2010, that
regulate discharges from construction sites. The
federal regulations resulted from litigation decisions
that mandated construction activities over a certain
size must contain additional specifications to reduce
the amount of wastes and sediment loading that
reach the nation's waters.
The Division of Water Quality and the Division of
Land Resources established the Construction
General Permit Technical Advisory Group (CTAG)
to guide the development of this NPDES permit. A
draft permit was available for public review in May
2011, and the final permit became effective on
August 3, 2011.
The most notable change in the new permit is a
requirement that ground stabilization, such as wheat
straw application, be applied within 14 days from the
last land -disturbing activity. For steep slopes, that
area must be stabilized within 7 days. Please see
page 2 of this document for details.
Your E&SC plan will identify
areas where the more stringent
7 and 14 day ground
stabilization requirements
apply. See "New Ground
Stabilization Requirements' on
page 2-
MONITORING & INSPECTION$
1 You must keep a rain gauge
on site.
0 Dedicated demolition and
other waste areas and earthen
material stockpiles must be
located at least 50' frog storm
drains or streams unless no
alternative is feasible (new
requirement).
/ You must inspect all E&SC
measures at toast once a week
and within 24 hours after any
storm event greater than a half
Inch (during a 24-hour period).
You must take Immediate
corrective action for any device
failure.
1 You must inspect all outlets
where stormwater runoff leaves
your site and evaluate the effect
on nearby streams or wetlands.
Corrective action must be taken if
sediment is deposited off site or
into a stream or wetland, or
causes a visible increase in
turbidity (cloudiness) of any
waterbody.

> You must keep records of
these inspections and any
corrective actions taken.
_QPERA77DN & MAINTENANCE
You must provide the operation
and maintenance necessary to
maintain optimal performance of
stormwater controls. This means
take corrective action if erosion
and sediment control facilities are
not operating properfyl Operation
and maintenance includes, but is
not limited to:
• Regularly cleaning out
sedimentation basins.
f Stabilizing eroded banks or
spillway structures.
Repairing/clearing out inlets
and outlets.
• Repairing piping, seepage
and mechanical damage.
♦ Repairing silt fence damage.
Regular inspections are a chance
to check impacts to nearby
waters. it you observe sediment
that has deposited in a stream
or wetiand, you must notify the
Dhftlon of Water Quality
regional office within 24 hours
and provide written notice
within 5 days (see # 3 on page 6
of the General Permit). Please
send a copy of this
correspondence to the Division of
Land Resources (DLR).
NDN&OMPLIANCE A FINES
Take compliance seriously!
Projects that violate Stormwater
Permit conditions and/or have
unauthorized water quality
impacts are subject to fines. Civil
penalties of up to $25,oDo.00
per day for each violation may
be assessed.
Who Inspects me for what?
DWQ coordinates with DLR's
Land Quality Section to ensure
compliance with. state rules and
regulations governing
construction activities. That
means your project is subject to
enforcement by both divisions. In
general, Land Quality staff will
inspect your site on a regular
basis, DWQ staff may also do
inspections. The inspections may
be routine in nature, or, the result
of public complaints.
Do I need to submit a Notice
of Intent to have coverage
under this permit?
No. Once your EBSC Plan is
approved, your site is
automatically covered under this
permit. You do not need to
submit a Notice of Intent for a
Certificate of Coverage.

SECTION I
COVERAGE UNDER THE GENERAL PERMIT
Until this State of North Carolina General Permit expires or is modified or revoked, the pernittee is
authorized to discharge stormwater in accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit and in
accordance with an approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the North Carolina Division
of Land Resources, Land Quality Section, or a delegated local program under the provisions and
requirements of North Carolina General Statutes in Article 4 of Chapter 1 I3A to the surface waters of
North Carolina or to a separate storm sewer system. The permit, along with state statutes (N.C.G.S.
143-215.1) and rules (NCAC 2H .0100) relating to stormwater permitting are designed to work
together to assure compliance with the NPDES requirements of the Clean Water Act. Fulthermore,
North Carolina rules in Title 15A NCAC 2H .0126 adopt by reference the federal stormwater
permitting requirements.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless covered by another
permit, authorization or approval. The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or
contribute to violations of North Carolina Water Quality Standards for surface waters and wetlands (15A
NCAC 2B .0200). Discharges allowed by this permit must meet all applicable water quality certification or
permit requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .0500 and 2H .1300. This permit does not relieve the
permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule,
standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree_
This General Permit is applicable to point source discharges from construction activities disturbing
one or more acres of land. The application to the Division of Land Resources or a delegated local
program for approval of a local Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (E&SC Plan) shall be considered
to take the place of a Notice of Intent for coverage under this General Permit for those projects requiring
this Permit coverage. Coverage under this General Permit shall become effective upon issuance of an
approval for the E&SC Plan by the Division of Land Resources or delegated local program that includes
the following.
a_ Designation on the plans where the specific ground stabilization requirements apply as per Section
fI.B.2 of this permit.
b. Designs of basins with surface withdrawal as per Section II.B.4 of this permit.
Prior to the commencement of construction and land disturbing activities. approval of the E&SC Plan shall
be obtained.
This General Permit revision reflects changes made in the federal regulations effective February 1,
2010. The federal regulations were a result of litigation that mandated that construction activities over a
certain size must contain additional specifications that would result in reduced wastes and sediment
loading reaching the nation's waters. The Division of Water Quality and the Division of Land Resources
established a Construction General Permit Technical Advisory Group (CTAG) to provide them guidance
in developing the permit. The CTAG was comprised of 14 members who represented a broad range of
environmental, regulatory, government and development interests. A Draft Construction General Permit
was prepared and made available for review on May 13, 2011. A public meeting was held on June7th.
This perm it reflects the input received during the twelve- month development process.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may apply for an
individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in I SA NCAC 2H .0100, stating the
reasons supporting the request. Any application or an individual permit should be made at least 180 days
prior to the time the permit is needed unless waived, by the Director.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit until
the individual permit has expired or has been rescinded. Any person conducting an activity covered by an
Page 3 of 16

individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request that the individual
permit be rescinded and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
The Division of Water Quality partners with the Division of Land Resources to implement a complete
program for construction site coverage that includes state sedimentation control and NPDES
stormwater control. The Division of Land Resources implements their control programs through an
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (E&SC Plan) issued for each construction site in the state
disturbing one or more acres of land. An E&SC Plan is required for each site by the Division of Land
Resources or a delegated local government program. The NPDES Construction Stormwater permit
(NCG010000) is attached to Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan approvals. The permittee is
responsible for abiding by the conditions of both of these documents.
The Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 places a duty upon the Sedimentation Control
Commission to "develop recommended methods of control of sedimentation and prepare and make
available for distribution publications and outer materials dealing with sedimentation control techniques
appropriate for use by persons engaged in land -disturbing activities." The Sedimentation Control
Commission and the Division of Land Resources have adopted the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment
Control Planning and Design Manual as the document to provide that guidance for use at all constructions
sites in the state. The individual Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans are developed based on this
Guidance and become a condition of the Division of Water Quality's Construction Stormwater General
Permit. As provided in this permit, "deviation from the approved E&SC Plan, or approved amendment to
that plan, shall constitute a violation of the terms and conditions of this general permit."
SECTION H
STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION REQUIREMENTS
The State construction -related stormwater pollution prevention program provides for: (a) identification
of the potential sources of stormwater pollution at the individual construction site; (b) description of
the stormwater control measures to reduce or eliminate pollutants in stormwater discharges from the
construction site; and (c) identification of the procedures the operator will implement to comply with
the terms and conditions of this general permit and the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan
(E&SC Plan). In North Carolina, the approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan for the site,
and the NCG41 Construction General Permit are considered the Storrnwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) for that site_ These two documents, and any specifically -added water quality
conditions for that site, contain the provisions necessary to meet the federal regulatory requirements of
the NPDES program including provisions implementing the Effluent Limitations Guidelines effective
at the time of this permit.
SECTION II.A. - STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION REQUIREMENTS
IN THE EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PLAN
The Erosion and Sedimentation Control program is mandated and funded according to state statutes.
The majority of the tecluiology-based requirements needed to satisfy tE►e federal stormwater pollution
prevention specifications are addressed in the approved E&.SC Plan. Each applicant for an E&SC Plan
approval is required to comply with a "checklist" of over 50 site -specific conditions*. The categories

SECTION II.B. - STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION RE UIREMENTS
NC CONSTRUCTION GENERAL PERMIT
In addition to the stormwater pollution prevention controls found in the E&SC Plan, this Construction
General Permit contains additional conditions that must be met in order to comply with the NPDES
program requirements. They are as follows:
I)onstr action Site Pollutants
Permittee must manage activities on the site such that water quality standards are not violated from site
activities or allowed discharges. In addition to stream pollution from sediment discharge, other
activities on construction and development sites can result in pollutants reaching the state's waters.
EPA has prepared guidance documents that provide best management practices that address many
activities. See http-.//cfpub.cpa ovinpdeslstonnwaterlmecuofbmpslindgx.cfm?action=min_measure&minmeasure id=4
The following activities, and others on a site -specific basis, require oversight throughout the
construction and development process to assure that all water quality standards are protected:
a) Equipment Operation and Maintenance - Equipment utilized during the construction activity on
a site must be operated and maintained in such a manner as to prevent the potential or actual
pollution of the surface or ground waters of the state. Fuels, lubricants, coolants, and hydraulic
fluids, or any other petroleum products, shall not be discharged onto the ground or into surface
waters. Spent fluids shall be cleaned up and disposed of in a manner so as not to enter the
waters, surface or ground, of the state and in accordance with applicable state and federal
regulations.
b) Material Handling - Herbicide, pesticide, and fertilizer usage during the construction activity
shall be consistent with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and shall be in
accordance with label restrictions.
c) Building Material Waste Handling
i) All wastes composed of building materials shall be disposed of in accordance with North
Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 130A, Article 9 - Solid Waste Management, and rules
governing the disposal of solid waste (North Carolina Administrative Code Section 15A
NCAC l3B).
ii) Locate areas dedicated for management of land clearing and demolition debris, construction
and domestic waste, and hazardous or toxic waste. This location shall be at least 50 feet
away from storm drain inlets and surface waters unless it can be shown that no other
alternatives are reasonably available.
iii) Dumping of paint and other liquid building material wastes in storm drains is prohibited.
iv} Litter and Sanitary Waste - The permittee shall control the management and disposal of litter
and sanitary waste from the site.
d) Location of Stock Piles - Locate earthen -material stock pile areas at least 50 feet away from
storm drain inlets and surface waters unless it can be shown that no other alternatives are
reasonably available.
e) Handling of Concrete
i) Concrete materials onsite, including excess concrete, must be controlled and managed to avoid
contact with surface waters, wetlands or buffers. No concrete or cement slurry shall be
discharged from the site. (Note that discharges from onsite concrete plants require coverage
under a separate NPDES permit — NCG 140000.)
iij Any hardened concrete residue will'be disposed of, or recycled on site, in accordance with
local and state solid waste regulations.

2) Ground Stabilization
a) Soil stabilization shall be achieved on any area of a site where land -disturbing activities have
temporarily or permanently ceased according to the following schedule:
i) All perimeter dikes, swales, ditches, perimeter slopes and all slopes steeper than 3
horizontal to 1 vertical (3:1) shall be provided temporary or permanent stabilization with
ground cover as soon as practicable but in any event within 7 calendar days from the last
land -disturbing activity.
ii) All other disturbed areas shall be provided temporary or permanent stabilization with
ground cover as soon as practicable but in any event within 14 calendar days from the last
land -disturbing activity.
b) Conditions - In meeting the stabilization requirements above, the following conditions or
exemptions shall apply:

other site -specific conditions that make compliance impracticable.
ii) All slopes 50' in length or greater shall apply the ground cover within 7 days except when the
slope is flatter than 4:1. Slopes less than 50' shall apply ground cover within 14 days except
when slopes are steeper than 3:1, the 7 day -requirement applies.
iii) Any sloped area flatter than 4:1 shall be exempt from the 7-day ground cover requirement.
iv) Slopes 10' or less in length shall be exempt from the 7-day ground cover requirement except
when the slope is steeper than 2:1.
v) Although stabilization is usually specified as ground cover, other methods, such as chemical
stabilization, may be allowed on a case -by -case basis.
vi) For portions of projects within the Sediment Control Commission -defined "High Quality Water
Zone" 0 5A NCAC 04A. 0105) , stabilization with ground cover shall be achieved as soon as
practicable but in any event on all areas of the site within 7 calendar days from the last land -
disturbing act.
vi i) Portions of a site that are lower in elevation than adjacent discharge locations and are not
expected to discharge during construction may be exempt from the temporary ground cover
requirements if identified on the approved E&SC Plan or added by the permitting authority.
3) Self Inspection and Reporting Requirements
Minimum self inspection and reporting requirements are as follows unless otherwise approved in
writing by the Division of Water Quality,
a) A rain gauge shall be maintained in good working order on the site unless another rain -
monitoring device has been approved by the Division of Water Quality.
b) A written record of the daily rainfall amounts shall be retained and all records shall be made
available to Division of Water Quality or authorized agent upon request. If no daily rain gauge
observations are made during weekend or holiday periods, and no individual -day rainfall
information is available, the cumulative rain measurement for those un-attended days will
determine if a site inspection is needed. (Note: if no rainfall occurred. -the permittee must record
"zero").
c) Erosion and sedimentation control measures shall be inspected to ensure that they are operating
correctly. Inspection records must be maintained for each inspection event and for each
measure. At a minimum, inspection of measures must occur at the frequency indicated below:

direction of the permittee at least once every seven calendar days, and
ii) All erosion and sediment control measures must be inspected by or under the direction
of the permittee within 24 hours after any storm event of greater than 0.50 inches of
rain per 24 hour period.
d) Once ]opal disturbance has begun on the site, stormwater runoff discharge outfalls shall be
inspected by observation for erosion, sedimentation and other stormwater discharge
characteristics such as clarity, floating solids, and oil sheens. inspections of the outfalls shall be
made at least once every seven calendar days and within 24 hours after any storm event of
greater than 0.50 inches of rain per 24 hour period.
Page 6 of 16

e) inspections are only required to be made during normal business hours. When adverse
weather conditions would cause the safety of the inspection personnel to be in jeopardy,
the inspection can he delayed until it is deemed safe to perform these duties. (Times when
inspections were delayed because of safety issues should be noted in the Inspection
Record.) If the inspection cannot be done on that day, it must be completed on the
fallowing business day.
f) Twenty-four Hour Reporting for visible sediment deposition
i) The permittee shall report to the Division of Water Quality central office or the
appropriate regional affice any visible sediment being deposited in any stream or
wetland or any noncompliance which may endanger health or the environment. (Sae

orally or electronically within 24 hours from the time the perm ittee became aware of the
circumstances.
ii) A written submission shall be provided to the appropriate regional office of the Division
of Water Quality within 5 days of the time the permittee becomes aware of the
circumstances. The written submission shall contain a description of the sediment
deposition and actions taken to address the cause of the deposition. The Division of
Water Quality staff may waive the requirement for a written report on a case -by -case
basis.
g) Records of inspections made during the previous 30 days shall remain on the site and available
for agency inspectors at all times during normal working hours, unless the Division of Water
Quality provides a site -specific exemption based on unique site conditions that make this
requirement not practical. Older records must be maintained for a period of three years after
project completion and made available upon request The records must provide the details of
each inspection including observations, and actions taken in accordance with this permit. The
permittee shall record the required rainfall and monitoring observations on the Inspection Record
form provided by the Division or a similar inspection form that is inclusive of all of the elements
contained in the Division's form. Use of electronically -available records, in lieu of the required
paper copies for inspection will be allowed if shown to provide equal access and utility as the
hard -copy records.
h) inspection records must include, at a minimum, the following:
i) Control Measure Inspections: Inspection records must include at a minimum: 1)
identification of the measures inspected, 2) date and time of the inspection, 3) name of
the person performing the inspection, 4) indication of whether the measures were
operating properly. 5) description of maintenance needs for the measure, 6) corrective
actions taken (7) date of actions taken, as well as the date and amounts of rainfall
received.
ii) Stormwater Discharge Inspections: Inspection records must include at a minimum: 1)

iv) Visible Sedimentation Found in Streams or Wetlands: All inspections should include
evaluation of streams or wetlands onsite or offsite (where accessible) to determine if
visible sedimentation has occurred.
i) Visible Stream Turbidity - If the discharge from a site results in an hicrease in visible stream
turbidity, inspection records must record that evidence and actions taken to reduce sediment
contributions. Sites discharging to streams named on the state's 303(d) list as impaired for
sediment -related causes may be required to perform additional monitoring, inspections or
Page 7 of 16

application of more -stringent management practices if it is determined that the additional
requirements are needed to assure compliance with the federal or state impaired -waters
conditions. if a discharge covered by this permit enters a stream segment that is listed on the
Impaired Stream List for sediment -related causes, and a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
has been prepared for those pollutants, the pennittee must implement measures to ensure that the
discharge of pollutants from the site is consistent with the assumptions and meets the

PART I INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to be covered by this General Permit must register with the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and applicable fees. The NOI shall be submitted and a
certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater associated with industrial
activity to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make application
for an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 2H .0100, stating the
reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should be made at least 180 days
prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit until the
individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity covered by an
individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request that the individual permit
be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40 CFR
§122.26(g), the facility may qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion from NPDES stormwater discharge permit
requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a No Exposure Exclusion must submit a No
Exposure Certification Notice of Intent (NOI) form to the Division; must receive approval by the Division;
must maintain no exposure conditions unless authorized to discharge under a valid NPDES stormwater
permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply for new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant -loading limit that affects a
watershed, or portion of a watershed, draining to a specific impaired water. For discharges to
watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the facility
demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards
for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that discharges have reasonable
potential to cause water quality standard violations, the facility shall apply for an individual permit 180
days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit. Once that individual permit is effective, the facility
will no longer have coverage under this General Permit.
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the permittee is
authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Such discharges shall be controlled,
limited, and monitored as specified in this permit.
Part I Page 1 of 2

Permit No. NCG120000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until coverage under this permit expires or is modified or revoked, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater, to the surface waters of North Carolina or to a separate storm sewer system, which has been
adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this General Permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-
stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval. The discharges
authorized by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of Water Quality
Standards.
Where wetlands are located on or nearby landfilling operations, discharges authorized by this permit and
site operations must meet applicable wetland standards, as recorded in 15A NCAC 2B .0230 and .0231, and
water quality certification requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable
federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

Permit No. NCG120000
PART II MONITORING, CONTROLS, AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED DISCHARGES
SECTION A: LIMITATIONS AND CONTROLS FOR STORMWATER DISCHARGES
During the period beginning on the effective date of the Certificate of Coverage and lasting until expiration
of the General Permit, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater. Such discharges shall be
controlled, limited, and monitored as specified below:
1. Prior to commencement of land disturbing activities, the permittee shall submit for approval a
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan (plan) to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources, or an approved local program,
pursuant to the requirements of NC G.S. 113A-54.1 and in conformity with the rules adopted by the
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Commission.
2. The permittee shall implement the approved plan. The approved plan is a requirement or condition
of this General Permit. Deviation from the approved plan, or approved amendment to the plan,
shall constitute a violation of the terms and conditions of this General Permit. A signed copy of the
approved plan shall be maintained on the site at all times.
Prior to constructing or operating a landfill the permittee shall obtain a permit for a sanitary landfill
from the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Waste Management,
pursuant to the requirements of NC G.S. 130A - 294 and in conformity with the rules adopted in 15A
North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 13B Section .0500 or Section .1600. The landfill
permit is a requirement or condition of this General Permit. Deviation from the landfill permit, or
approved amendment or revision of the landfill permit, shall constitute a violation of the terms and
conditions of this General Permit. A signed copy of the landfill permit shall be maintained on the
site at all times.
4. Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk
storage of liquid materials including petroleum products; storage in any amount of Section 313 of
Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals, -
and storage in any amount of hazardous substancesin order to prevent leaks and spills from
contaminating stormwater runoff. A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and
their associated secondary containment areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment
devices are connected to stormwater conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by
manually activated valves or other similar devices, which shall be secured closed with a locking
mechanism. Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall be at a minimum
visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining, visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to
release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found to be
uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the observation, the
description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date and time of the release shall be kept for a
period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasure Plan, facility compliance with any portion of the SPCC plan fully consistent with
the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this permit.
S. Equipment utilized during the land disturbing or landfill operational activities on a site shall be
operated and maintained in such a manner as to prevent potential or actual pollution of the surface
or ground waters of the state. Fuels, lubricants, coolants, and hydraulic fluids, other petroleum
products, and spent fluids shall be disposed of in a manner so as not to enter the waters, surface or
ground, of the state and in accordance with applicable state and federal disposal regulations. Any
Part II Page 1 of 6

Permit No. NCG120000
spilled fluids shall be cleaned up to the extent practicable and disposed of in a manner so as not to
allow their entry into the waters, surface or ground, of the state.
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater discharge outfall
(SDO). Only SDOs having stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity must be sampled. See
Definitions.
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted
site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-
hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is
representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains
approval from the local DWQ Regional Office. See Definitions.

Footnotes:
1 Measurement Frequency: Twice per year during a measureable storm event.
2 Sample collection must begin within the first 30 minutes of discharge and continue to all outfalls until completed.
3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted by DWQ. A copy of the DWQ letter granting ROS must be kept
on site. DWQ's ROS letter remains in effect through the subsequent reissuance of this permit and as long as the
pertinent site conditions and operations remain unchanged, unless the ROS letter provides for other conditions or
duration.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded from an on -site rain gauge.
(Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site
gauge, upon prior DWQ written approval.)
The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified in Table 2
below, unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection (see Definitions.) Inability to sample
because of adverse weather conditions must be recorded on the Discharge Monitoring Report, along with a
description of the adverse conditions and their duration. Sampling is not required outside of the facility's
normal operating hours.
A minimum of 60 days must separate Period 1 and Period 2 sample dates unless monthly monitoring
has been instituted via other requirements of this permit. The permittee must report the results of every
discharge sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part III, Section E).
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly
monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall or inability to
collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for example, does not
constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.

1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring during permit renewal process (unless monthly monitoring has been triggered
via other permit requirements.)
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report indicating "No
Flow" within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark values
are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's response actions to control the
discharge of pollutants in site stormwater. Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase
monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or install stormwater Best
Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program.

Each separate parameter benchmark exceedance triggers a separate tiered response for that parameter at that
outfall. See the descriptions of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions below. In the event that
DWQ releases the permittee from continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three, DWQ's release letter
remains in effect through the subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other
conditions or duration.
Part II Page 3 of 6

Permit No. NCG120000
Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value, or outside the benchmark range, for
any parameter at anv outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving
sampling results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedence.
3. Identify the potential, and select the specific: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern.
4. Implement the selected actions within two months of the inspection.
5. Maintain an on -site record of each instance of a Tier One response. Include the date and value
of the benchmark exceedence, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection,
the selected actions, and the date the selected actions were implemented.
Tier Two
If: During the term of this permit, the sampling results are above the benchmark values, or outside
the benchmark range, for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall two times in a row;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters. Conduct monthly monitoring at
every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive
samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until three
consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values, or within the benchmark range.
3. Submit a monthly monitoring report indicating "No Flow" if no discharge occurs during the
sampling period.
4. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response and monitoring results on site.
Tier Three
During the term of this permit, if the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring
periods exceed the benchmark value for any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four
occasions, the permittee shall notify the DWQ Regional Office Surface Water Supervisor in writing
within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results. DWQ may, but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some
or all parameters;
• rescind coverage under the General Permit, and require that the permittee apply for an
individual stormwater discharge permit;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters.

3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each SDO receiving runoff from vehicle and equipment
maintenance areas unless representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted by DWQ. A copy of the DWQ letter
granting ROS must be kept on site. DWQ's ROS letter remains in effect through the subsequent reissuance of this
permit and as long as the pertinent site conditions and operations remain unchanged, unless the ROS letter
provides for other conditions or duration.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded from an on -site rain gauge.
(Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods, a local rain gauge reading may be substituted for an on -site
gauge, upon prior DWQ written approval.)
Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table 5. Exceedences of benchmark values
require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping, and/or
install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), in accordance with the tiered response provisions of
Part II, Section B.

Permit No. NCG120000
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly
monitoring for a specified time period. "No discharge" from an outfall or inability to collect a sample
because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period, for example, does not constitute failure
to monitor, as long as it is properly reported.
SECTION D: QUALITATIVE MONITORING AND VISUAL INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
Qualitative monitoring shall be performed twice per year and concurrent with the analytical monitoring
requirements in Part II Sections B and C for the characteristics listed in Table 6. Qualitative monitoring is
for the purpose of quickly evaluating the effectiveness of the stormwater controls. No analytical tests are
required. The permittee shall maintain a written record of the qualitative monitoring events on site.

Footnote 1: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) regardless of
representative outfall status (ROS) unless ROS has been granted specifically for qualitative monitoring. A copy of
DWQ's letter granting ROS must be kept on site. DWQ's ROS letter remains in effect through the subsequent
reissuance of this permit and as long as the pertinent site conditions and operations remain unchanged, unless the
ROS letter provides for other conditions or duration.
Visual inspections shall be conducted to ensure that all stormwater controls, including all sedimentation
and erosion controls, are intact, in good repair, fully functional, and are otherwise being properly
implemented. Inspections shall be conducted at least once every seven calendar days, and within 24 hours
after any storm event of greater than 0.5 inches of rain per 24 hour period. The permittee shall maintain a
written record of each visual inspection on site.
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall maintain on -
site records of both the suspected cause of the condition and the corrective actions taken.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring or visual inspections indicate that existing stormwater controls are
ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is a recurring condition, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective actions, and implement feasible corrective
actions within 60 days. A written record of the permittee's investigation, evaluation, and response actions
shall be kept on site. Records related to qualitative monitoring and visual inspections need only be
submitted to DWQ upon the Division's specific request for those records.

SECTION C: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS
1. Proper Operation and Maintenance
The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and
control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with
the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls
and appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary
facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to
achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit [40 CFR 122.41(e)].
2. Need to Halt or Reduce Not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or
reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this general permit [40
CFR 122.41(c)].
3. massing of Stormwater Control Facilities
Bypass is prohibited and the Director may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass unless:
a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property damage; and
b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary control facilities, retention
of stormwater or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime or dry weather. This
condition is not satisfied if adequate backup controls should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of
equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
Part III Page 5 of 9

Permit No. NCG120000
c. The permittee submitted notices as required under, Part III, Section E of this general permit.

Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the volume and
nature of the permitted discharge. Analytical sampling shall be performed during a measureable storm
event. Samples shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge. All samples shall be
taken before the discharge joins or is diluted by any other waste stream, body of water, or substance.
Monitoring points as specified in this general permit shall not be changed without notification to and
approval of the Permit Issuing Authority [40 CFR 122.41(j)].
2. Recording Results
For each measurement or sample taken pursuant to the requirements of this general permit, the permittee
shall record the following information [40 CFR 122.41]:
a. The date, exact place, and time of sampling or measurements;
b. The individual(s) who performed the sampling or measurements;
c. The date(s) analyses were performed;
d. The individual(s) who performed the analyses;
e. The analytical techniques or methods used; and
f. The results of such analyses.
3. Flow Measurements
Where required, appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific
practices shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of
monitored discharges.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published pursuant to
NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations published pursuant to
Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR
136.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this general permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum detection and reporting levels and all data generated must be reported down to the minimum
detection or lower reporting level of the procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of
achieving minimum detection and reporting levels below general permit discharge requirements, then the
most sensitive (method with the lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be
used.
5. Representative Outfall
If a facility has multiple discharge locations with substantially identical stormwater discharges that are
required to be sampled, the permittee may petition the Director for representative outfall status. If it is
established that the stormwater discharges are substantially identical and the permittee is granted
representative outfall status, then sampling requirements may be performed at a reduced number of outfalls.
6. Records Retention
Part III Page 6 of 9

Permit No. NCG120000
Qualitative monitoring shall be documented and records maintained at the facility. Copies of analytical
monitoring results shall also be maintained on -site. The permittee shall retain records of all monitoring

Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

Summary Report
The primary object of this transition plan is to demonstrate compliance with current
North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules. The County presently operates a
municipal solid waste landfill in the Supply, North Carolina, area under permit No.
10-07 dated August 15, 1983. The site consists of two (not subdivided) tracts. Tract
one contains 75 acres and is in operation for the purpose of municipal solid waste
disposal. Tract two contains 62 acres and is designated as a demolition debris
landfill area operated under permit No. 10-D.
An examination of restricted areas is presented in Chapter 2. These restricted areas
included airports, flood plains and unstable areas. This study shows no violation of
these location restrictions. An investigation of the impacts caused by the operation
of the existing landfill on the adjacent areas is conducted and the results are shown
in Chapter 3. This study concluded that only minor impacts occur in the immediate
vicinity of the site. Chapter 3 also includes the investigation of water supply intakes
within the county. No community water system or public water intakes are located
within the vicinity of the site.
The existing facility is an unlined landfill constructed in accordance with rule .0501.
The current average waste receipt rate is approximately 320 tons per working day.
Only municipal solid waste is accepted for disposal at this facility. The MSW
disposal area is expected to be filled to its permitted capacity by 1994. A vertical
expansion plan is proposed in order to provide enough airspace for landfilling
activities until 1998. Chapter 4 provides detailed information of the vertical expansion
operation plan. In accordance with current North Carolina Solid Waste Management
Rules, the site will be closed by 1998. Before the closure of the existing landfill
facility, the County must develop a new unit with a composite liner or make
Brunswick County Page - 1
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

arrangements to transfer their service area's waste to another approved facility.
Based on information provided by the county, every effort is being made to secure
a viable disposal option prior to January, 1998. The transition plan should provide
adequate timing for the county to make an arrangement to dispose of their solid
waste before the existing facility is closed. The remaining portions of the transition
plan are Chapter 5, Operation Plan, and Chapter 6, Closure and Post -Closure Plan.

TRANSITION PLAN FOR THE EXISTING
MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL UNIT
OF BRUNS WICK COUNTY
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Objective
On October 9, 1993, new North Carolina Solid Waste Management codified as T15A : 13B .1600 - .1680, became effective. The new rules require
R
the owner/operators of existing MSWLF units which accepted waste aft
October 9, 1993, and are not scheduled to close by April 9, 1994, to prepare a Transition Plan (application) to demonstrate compliance with some Section
.1600 rules.
Brunswick County presently operates a municipal solid waste landfill in the
Supply area of Brunswick County. The facility is currently operated under
Permit No. 10-07 dated August 15, 1983, and is not scheduled to close by April
9, 1994. The County intends to continue to operate the landfill at the existing
site through January, 1998, or until another viable option is chosen. Therefore,
the County must prepare a Transition Plan to demonstrate compliance with the
new rules. The purpose of this report is to provide required documentation of
compliance with Section .1617 of the Solid Waste Management Rules for the
existing Landfill Facility in Brunswick County.
1,2 Review of Study Area
Brunswick County is located at the extreme southeastern corner of North
BTu11Swick C011rity Page - 3
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

Carolina and is located in the coastal plain physiographic province. The
County is bordered by Columbus County to the west, Pender and New Hanover
Counties to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the south and the Cape Fear
River to the east.
Brunswick County occupies an area of approximately 860 square miles. The
Cape Fear River which forms much of Brunswick Counties' northern and
eastern border is the major water feature in the County. Much of the southern
border is made up of barrier islands which are typical of most Coastal North
Carolina Counties. A major geographic feature of Brunswick County is the
Green Swamp which occupies approximately the western one-third of the
County. Major political subdivisions within the County are: Navassa,
Southport, Boiling Spring Lakes, Bolivia, Shallotte, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle
Beach, Holden Beach, Long Beach, Yaupon Beach, Caswell Beach, Calabash,
Leland, Belleville, Northwest, Varnam Town, Sandy Creek and the village of
Bald Head. The County has an estimated 1990 permanent population of 51,000.
The peak seasonal population is approximately 161,000. The County seat of
Brunswick County is Bolivia and the largest incorporated population resides in
Southport.
2.0 LOCATION RESTRICTION
For the purpose of this study, location restriction shall include airport safety,
floodplain and unstable areas, The following sections provide the demonstrations of
compliance with the location restriction as stated in North Carolina Waste
Management Rule .1622.
2.1 Airport Safety (Rule .1622(1)(c))
Brunswick County Page - 4
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

The North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules Section .1622 require a
municipal solid waste landfill to be located no closer than 5,000 feet from any
airport runway used only by piston -powered aircraft and no closer than 10,000
feet from any runway used by turbine -powered aircraft. There are currently
three airports located in Brunswick County. None of them is located within
10,000 feet from the site. See Exhibit 2-1 for map depicting the locations of
these airports. In addition, refer to Figure 2-1 for additional information on
airport locations within Brunswick County.
2.2 Floodplains (Rule .1622(2)(a))
Floodplain restriction may limit developable site size or increase site
development cost. In order to allow for natural flow of water during a storm
and to prevent damage either upstream or downstream during a storm event,
landfills and associated construction should not be located within the limits of
a 100-year floodplain. The North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules
state that "a site located in a floodplain should not (1) restrict the flow of the
100-year flood (2) reduce the temporary water storage capacity of the
floodplain (3) or result in the washout of solid waste so as to pose hazard to
human life, wildlife, or land or water resources".
The presence and extent of floodplains on the existing landfill site was
evaluated using the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
floodplain maps. The site is generally surrounded by Beaverdam Swamp and
its tributary except for the northern boundary. A 50 foot buffer between the
waste disposal boundary and water courses is preserved and coincides with the
floodplains. In general, the waste disposal area of the existing site is not
located in a floodplain area and the whole site does not restrict the flow of the
Brunswick County Page - 5
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

100-year flood or reduce the temporary water storage capacity of the
floodplain. Future landfilling activities will be within the currently permitted
areas and will not impact the 100 year floodplain. Figure 2-1 demonstrates the
floodplain boundary on the existing site.
2.3 Unstable Area (Rule .1622(6)(a))
According to North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rule .1622 (6)(b),
"unsuitable area" means a location that is susceptible to natural or human -
induced events or forces capable of impairing the integrity of some or all of the
landfill structural components.
For the purposes of this study, unstable areas were restricted to a review of
poor foundation conditions and the existence of Karst Terranes. Prior to
construction of the landfill, geotechnical evaluations were performed to
determine the subsurface conditions anticipated within the limits of the landfill.
This investigation performed 12 borings to depths between 25 and 55 feet.
Based on the results of this investigation, it was determined the foundation
conditions were suitable for the construction of the landfill. No unstable areas
or Karst Terranes were encountered during this investigation. During the 10
years that the landfill has been operating, no unusual or excessive settlement
has been observed.

3.0 LOCAL AREA STUDY
3.1 Current Facility Situation
3.1.1 Site Description
The Brunswick County Sanitary Landfill is located approximately two
miles northeast of Supply, North Carolina and is permitted to operate
as a sanitary landfill in accordance with Permit No. 10-07. The site
consists of two not subdivided tracts. Tract one contains 75 acres and
is in operation for the purpose of municipal solid waste disposal. Tract
two contains 62 acres and is designated as a demolition debris landfill
area operated under permit number 10-D.
3.1.2 Sanitary Landfill
As stated previously, the current sanitary landfill site consists of
approximately 75 acres of the total 137 acre site. Approximately 45
acres out of the tract is used as the disposal area. The 45 acre tract is
currently divided into Operation area A, B and C. See sheet number
2 of the drawing set for area limits. Area A and C have not received
waste since October 9, 1991 and have been closed out with 2 feet of
native soil cap in accordance with Rule .0501. Area B has received
waste since October 9, 1991 and continues to receive waste. It is
projected to continue receiving waste until September, 1995. These
designations are not the same designations used to define trench areas
under the original permit.
Brunswick County Page - 10
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

3.1.3 Demolition Debris Landfill
The remaining 62 acre portion of property is used for the purpose of
providing buffers, isolating tires, white goods and construction debris
respectively. It is also in the process of being excavated to provide daily
cover material for the existing permitted sanitary landfill. All proposed
bottom excavation elevations are a minimum of 4 feet above the
seasonal high ground water table. Refer to Drawing Sheet Number 2
for the limits of the above referenced uses.
3.1.4 Adjacent Neighborhood
With the exception of the sanitary landfill gatehouse and module office
unit, no structures are located within a quarter mile of the site and no
public or private utilities exist within a quarter mile of the site.
Currently, this site is an area where adjacent land is zoned "rural
district. " A commercial low density district exists in an area along U.S.
17. The properties of this site are under the zoning jurisdiction of
Brunswick County and are currently not zoned. However, the
Brunswick Zoning Map indicates that property within a 400' radius of
the site is zoned commercial low density. A map which includes the
facility and the area within 2,000 feet of the facility boundary is
presented in Figure 3-1-4.
3.2 Current Topography
A topographic survey of the existing sanitary landfill was performed in

Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

December 1993 by American Geographic Data, Inc. The topographic survey
and the boundary are provided as Drawing Number 02 of 13 in the drawing set.
3.3 Survey Control
A boundary survey of the Brunswick County Landfill was performed by
Brunswick Surveying, Inc. A copy of the boundary is provided as Exhibit 3-3.
The site boundary and the topographic survey have been tied to the North
Carolina Grid Coordinate System. The control coordinates and the location
of the permanent benchmark are provided on Drawing Number 02 of 13 in the
drawing set.
3.4 Proximity of Human and Environmental Receptors
3.4.1 Sensitive Receptors
For the purpose of this study, sensitive receptors are defined as
institutions which provide services to children (e.g. schools, churches,
day care), the elderly (e. g. nursing homes), or the ailing on a 24-hour
basis (e.g. hospitals). The proximity of the existing facility to sensitive
receptors has checked with County staff, available area maps and
windshield surveys of the site, and the surrounding areas. Based on this
review there are no sensitive receptor within 2,000 feet of the facility
boundary. Brunswick Technical College and Mt. Olive Church are the
closest sensitive receptors which are located about 15 miles south and
15 miles east of the site respectively.
Based on available data, four private residences are located within 2,000
Brunswick County Page - 12
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

feet of the facility boundary. Although the facility site is located near
the township of Supply, most of the residential units are approximately
4,000 feet away from this site.
3.4.2 Recreational Areas and Parks
Recreational resources are of significant value in any community. The
North Carolina Solid Waste Management rules states that a site "shall
not cause an adverse impact on a state park, nature and historic
reserve". Therefore, the existence of recreational resources in the
vicinity and the effects of landfill operation on recreation areas are
closely evaluated under this criteria.
The location of recreational areas was identified by consulting the
U.S.G.S. Quadrangle Maps, Brunswick County Tax maps and
N.C.D.O.T. Highway Maps. Brief visits to the vicinity of the site are
also made to determine if recreational areas or parks are located near
the site. The investigation shows that no recreational areas or parks are
located within 2,000 feet of the site boundary. The closest recreational
area, the Lockwood Folly Township Park, is located 5,000 feet southeast
of the site. The impacts of landfill operation on the park is considered
insignificant.

3.4.3 Wetlands
The presence of wetlands in the vicinity of the site was evaluated by
using Wetland Inventory Maps available form the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service. A field trip was also conducted to verify the existence of
wetlands. The majority of the site boundary is constituted by
Beaverdam Swamp and its tributary where wetlands exist. All wetlands
are within the buffers between the site boundary and disposal area. No
destruction of wetlands is anticipated by the future landfilling operation.
Future vertical expansion on the existing site will not impact wetlands.
3.4.4 Endangered or Threatened Species and Habitats
The North Carolina Solid Waste Management rules state that a site
"shall not cause or contribute to the taking of any endangered or
threatened species of plants, wildlife, or fish, or result in the destruction
or adverse modification of their critical habitat".
The recorded presence of endangered or threatened species and
habitats on the facility was reviewed by the North Carolina Division of
Parks and Recreation.
Based on the information provided by the division, two rare species are
known to exist in the vicinity of this site. These are red -cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis), federally and State listed as
endangered, and the Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), State listed as
special concern and proposed as a candidate for federal listing. Either
of those species could occur in the vicinity of this site if there is a
Brunswick County Page - 15
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

suitable habitat. As long as the landfill operation is confined within the
limited area of the existing facility, impacts to these two endangered
species will not occur. There are no plans to disturb currently wooded
or otherwise vegetated areas which could provide habitat for
endangered or threatened species.
3.4.5 Historical and Archaeological Sites
The North Carolina Solid Waste Management rules require that a solid
waste disposal site not damage or destroy an archaeological or historical
site. The facility site was reviewed by the North Carolina Department
of Culture Resources, Archaeology and Historic Preservation Section for
the identification of any known archaeological or historical sites in the
vicinity of the site. Based on the information provided by the
Department no recorded sites are located within 2,000 feet of the
facility site boundary. However, the vicinity of the site is considered to
hold moderate potential for containing archaeological sites based on
topographic setting and known prehistoric land use patterns. Since the
continued operation of the landfill will be within previously disturbed
and permitted areas, it is anticipated that no damage or destruction of
archaeological and historic sites will occur in the vicinity of the site.
3.5 Proximity of Water Supply Intakes
3.5.1 Private Wells
Contamination of drinking water by leachate migration to nearby wells
is a potential serious threat to public health. Section .1624 of the North
Brunswick County Page - 16
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

Carolina Solid Waste Management rules require a 500 foot buffer
between a landfill and a private water supply well to protect from these
possibilities. The further a well is from the landfill the less likely it will
be contaminated with leachate. The assumption utilized for this study
is that all dwellings near the facility site are served by private wells.
Therefore, the proximity of water supply wells is determined by the
distance between the nearby dwellings and the facility site. Based on
U.S.G.S.7-1/2 minutes topographic maps and windshield survey, there
are two dwellings within 2,000feet of the site boundary. Both dwellings
are considerably upgradient from the landfill, thereby greatly reducing
the possibility of contamination as a result of landfilling activities.
Refer to Figure 3-1-4, Vicinity Map of existing landfill.
3.5.2 Public Water Supply
Based on the 1985 U. S. G. S. Quadrangle Map, Tax Maps and discussions
with the Brunswick County engineer, no community water system or
public water intakes located within the vicinity of the site.
3.5.3 Tributary to a Watershed
An important examination of the area study of the existing site is to
check whether this site contains tributaries or discharges to tributaries
which are classified as protected water or water supply waters. The site
is surrounded by Beaverdam Swamp and its tributary. These waters are
classified as fresh water -swamp water (C-SW) which is not protected by
relative regulations. The site is not located in a water supply watershed.

3.6 Underground Utilities
No underground utilities are known to exist in the vicinity of the site.
3.7 Sources of Contamination
No known sources of contamination are known to exist in the vicinity of the
site at the present time.

4.0 MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL CAPACITY EVALUATION
4.1 Waste Stream Projection
4.1.1 Methodology
The projection of waste generated in Brunswick County is based on the
data from the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Annual Report
and the Sanitary Landfill Annual Report provided by the county. The
methodology for projecting the amount of waste generated within the
county was developed by using population and per capita disposal rate
during the studying period (July, 1993 to January, 1998). Before any
waste quantity projection can be done, several assumptions were
required in order to obtain the populations and per capita disposal
rates. The following sections describe the assumptions and details of the
projection method.
4.1.1.1 Waste Generation
To make accurate projections, an important assumption is
the amount of waste generated by each person within a
given time period. According to the Sanitary Landfill
Annual Report of Brunswick County, an average of 8.12
pounds per day of waste was generated per capita in fiscal
year 1991-1992 (a PCD rate of 8.12). Two (2) % of the
waste generated in this period was diverted from landfilling.
Using information available from the "Characterization of
Municipal Solid Waste in the U.S.A. "(1990 Update) by the
Brunswick County Page - 19
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

EPA, PCD waste generation rate, with no additional
reduction or recycling, are estimated to increase by 0.73 %
each year from 1990 to 1995, and by 0.93 % each year from
1996 to 2000. These percentage increases are applied back
to the 8.12 PCD baseline rate to estimate PCD rates and
total waste generation during studying period.
4.1.1.2 Population
By showing the disposal rate as a per capita ratio, the
projected annual population growth in Brunswick is allowed
to be taken into account. The 1990 U.S. census information
is used for Brunswick's population for that year. The N.C.
Office of Budget and Management has released 1990
projection for the year 1995 and 2000. Population is
assumed to increase at the same rate between 1990 and
1995 and between 1996 and 2000. With this additional
assumption, population is projected for all intervening years
between 1991 and 1998. The yearly population growth rate
is estimated to be 5.58 % between 1991 and 1995, and to be
3.83 % between 1996 and 2000. See appendix A for growth
rate calculation.
4.1.2 Waste Projection
The impacts of population increase and per capita waste generation
rates compound one another. From 1991 to 1995, the 5.85 % yearly
Brunswick County Page - 20
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

population growth rate and the 0.73 % yearly increase in waste
generation rates result in a projected yearly increase of 6.62% in total
waste. In the same way, a 4.8% yearly increase in total waste generation
rate is projected from 1996 to 2000. It is important to recognize that
these are the projected generation rates prior to any impacts of source
reduction or recycling programs.
In evaluating waste stream reduction efforts, three different scenarios
are assumed. Scenario I assumes the county's continuing its existing
waste reduction program and no further waste diversion strategy is
implemented. In scenario II, a 6 % improvement in waste reduction is
assumed each year. Finally, the state waste reduction goal (25 %) is
designated in scenario III. A projected trend graph (Figure 4-1-2) is
developed for the three different scenarios.
Several terms need to be clearly defined as they related to the analysis
of waste projection in this study. Often, the terms waste generation and
waste disposal are interchangeable. However, the two terms have very
different meanings. Waste disposal is the total amount of waste actually
disposed(landfilled). Waste generation is the total amount of waste
disposed plus the amount of material recycled and composted. The total
amount of recycled and composted materials is defined as waste
diversion or waste reduction. This understanding is essential to the
following analysis of waste projection and waste stream.
At the time of this study, the waste stream data of Brunswick County
was available up to fiscal year 1992-1993. The amount of waste
generated after June, 1993, was estimated based on the projected
Brunswick County Page - 21
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

changes of population and waste generation rate as stated in section 4-1-
1 "Methodology"
4.1.2.1 Scenario I -Continuing Existing Waste Reduction Program
Currently(1991-1993), an estimated 2% (or 1567 tons) of the
total waste generated is being reduced through recycling,
composting and mulching within the county. In this scenario,
existing waste reduction efforts are assumed to continue to
divert the same percent of waste each year. In other words,
for the life of this projection, 2 % of the waste generated per
year are assumed to be diverted from disposal due to
existing recycling efforts.
If no further waste reduction efforts are made and waste
generation and population continue to increase as projected,
Brunswick County willhave landfilled approximately 430,000
tons of solid waste between July, 1993 and January, 1998. In
order to landfill these waste, approximately 1,344,000cubic
yard of airspace is required.
Figure 4-1-2(scenario I) shows a constant growth of waste to
be landfilled if no further waste reduction efforts are made.
Table 4-1-2-1 presents the amount of waste disposed and
diverted under scenario I.
4.1.2.2 Scenario II - A 6% Improvement yearly in Waste Reduction
Brunswick County Page - 22
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

This scenario was developed based on the statewide waste
reduction rate in fiscal year 1991-1992. A total of 6% or
434,538 tons of the solid waste managed is diverted through
recycling, composting, or mulching. Therefore, a 6%
improvement in waste reduction (diversion) each year is
assumed in scenario II. According to the Sanitary Landfill
Annual Report of Brunswick County, the amount of waste
landfilled in fiscal year 1992-1993 increased 5.12%. Since
the 1992-1993 Report does not release the total waste
generated within the county of that fiscal year, it is assumed
that in fiscal year 1992-1993 the county has the same waste
diversion rate, 2 %, as in the previous fiscal year. The 5.12 %
growth of waste landfilled can be deemed as a combined
effect of increasing waste generation rate and population.
The waste reduction rate then increase 6 % each year after
June 1993. The quantities of waste projected to be disposed
and diverted due to a further reduction effort of 6 % are
shown in Table 4-1-2-2 and Fig 4-1-2(scenario II). The total
waste needed to be landfilled between July, 1993 and June
1998 is about 354,800tons. A total of 1, 109, 000 cubic yard
of airspace is required to handle the, disposed waste during
this period of time.
4.1.2.3 Scenario III - State Reduction Goal
The final scenario illustrates the implementation of the
state's waste reduction goals. This goal which is stated in
HB 1109 is to reduce the quantity of waste disposed per
Brunswick County Page - 23
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

capita by 25 % by June 30, 1993 and by 40 % by June 30,
2001. State law requires that July 1, 1991 through June 30,
1992 be the base year for measuring progress toward the
state's waste reduction goal. The base year amount is
determined by adding the total municipal solid waste
disposed by landfilling to the amount of waste managed
through recycling, composting and mulching by local
government. This total waste managed becomes the base
year amount. From Figure 4-1-2 (scenario III), it can be
seen that the quantity of waste disposed decreases rapidly in
1992-1993 and then increase slowly through 1998 due to
population growth. Table 4-1-2-3 gives the amount of waste
landfilled and diverted if the state's goal is met.
4.1.3 Comparison of Waste Projection
Scenario III in figure 4-1-2 represents implementation of the state's
waste reduction goal. It allows Brunswick County to show its progress
toward the waste reduction goal. A comparison of the amount of waste
diverted under scenario I and scenario II, to the amount of waste
diverted under state waste reduction goal is presented in Table 4-1-3.
In order to meet the state's goal, the quantity of waste needed to be
further diverted is increasing each year under scenario I. On the other
hand, with the 6 % additional reduction of solid waste each year under
scenario II, the county will meet its 25 % waste reduction goal by June,
1997 and be well on its way to achieving a 40 % reduction by the year
2000.
Brunswick County Page - 24
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

4.1.4 Recommended Waste Reduction Program
Under present waste management policies and strategies in Brunswick
County, much effort will be necessary to achieve substantial, long term
waste reduction. The waste generated per day per capita in the base
year is 8.12 lbs. To achieve the goals in HB 1109 per capita disposal
rate must drop to 4.87 PCD by 2001. These reduction in disposal rate
will require additional diversion, above and beyond that achieved by
current reduction rates. The additional diversion could be achieved
through any combination of source reduction, reuse, recycling and
composting. Without such efforts, landfill facilities will be heavily
burdened to make up the difference.
It is our recommendation that Brunswick County implements a 6 %
waste reduction improvement program (scenario II) for its waste
management strategy for the incoming years. As noted in Table 2-4, by
the year 1998 the county is only approximate 6 % behind the state waste
reduction goal and is well on its way to achieving a 40 % reduction goal
if the yearly 6 % improvement in waste reduction can be accomplished.
Since 6 percent is a statewide average waste reduction rate in fiscal year
1991-1992 we believe that the county can achieve this goal with some
extra efforts. In addition, the county can save about 18% (75,800 cubic
yard) airspace for its landfill between July, 1993 and January, 1998.

4.2 Landfill Unit Capacity
4.2.1 Area Limits of Exiting Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Unit
15A NCAC 13B Rule .1626(1)(g)(i) establishes the areal boundary of
existing unlined municipal solid waste landfill units. This boundary is
established by the extent of waste placement on or in the ground, as of
October 9, 1993. Owners and operators may not put wastes into or onto
lateral areas of the facility which do not already have waste there but
may continue to place waste above areas which had waste in place as
of October 9, 1993. Drawing no. 2 in the drawing set provides the area
limits of the existing landfill unit in Brunswick County according to the
regulation requirement.
4.2.2 Available Airspace of Existing Landfill Facility
For the purpose of this study, the available airspace of existing landfill
is defined as the airspace available for landfilling on the existing
disposal area between October, 1993 and the time when the site is filled
to final elevation designed by the 1983 construction plan prepared by
Lewis and Associate of Shallotte, North Carolina. By comparing the
topography of existing landfill surveyed on October, 1993 and the final
grade of the 1983 construction plan, an estimate of 238,900 cubic yard
of airspace is left for the existing landfill facility. Based on this estimate
and the waste stream projections developed herein, the facility will be
filled to its designed and permitted capacity under operation permit No.
10-07 by September, 1994.
Brunswick County Page - 31
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

4.2.3 Additional Needed Airspace
It is the County's intention to operate the exiting landfill facility no later
than January, 1998. The current average waste receipt rate is
approximately 320 tons of solid waste per working day. Scenario II of
the waste quantity projection of Brunswick County in Section 4.1 is used
in estimating the total airspace required to landfill waste generated
between October, 1993 and December, 1997. In addition to the
projected waste quantity, the needed airspace is determined based on
the following consideration:
1. Unit weight of in -place waste is 1000 lb/cubic yard.
2. A 4:1 waste/daily cover ratio.
These are relatively conservative assumptions for landfill operation with
modern equipment. In addition, the prohibition of many types of wastes
such as white goods and yard waste from the landfill facility allow most
in -place densities which are higher than in past history. Along with the
available airspace of existing landfill facility, an additional 629,300 cubic
yard of airspace will be required to deposit the waste quantity until
January, 1998.
4.3 Vertical Expansion
In order to provide enough airspace for landfilling activities on the existing
landfill facility until January, 1998, a vertical expansion on the existing site is
planned. The expansion of vertical airspace is consistent with the area limits
of waste placement as of October 9, 1993. The vertical expansion is subdivided
Brunswick County Page - 32

into five phases. The progression, location and limits of these disposal phases
are shown in Fig 4-3-A, 4-3-B, 4-3-C and 4-3-D. The capacity provided by each
phase is shown as follow:
Phase I : 183,200 cubic yard
Phase II : 280,800 cubic yard
Phase III: 219,600 cubic yard
Phase IV 67,700 cubic yard
Phase V : 116,900 cubic yard
The total air space provided by the vertical expansion is approximately 868,200
cubic yards. Notice should be given that the total airspace provided here
includes the available airspace of existing landfill facility as stated in section
4.2.2.1. Appendix B shows detailed calculation and the computer outputs of
available airspace from phase I to phase V of the vertical expansion.
4.4 Closing Schedule
The sanitary landfill as permitted under 10-07 will be closed by January, 1998,
in accordance with the requirement of North Carolina Solid Waste
Management Rules. This closing date may come before January, 1998, if the
facility is filled to final grades earlier than it is expected or if the county
decides to pursue another viable disposal option. One of the most important
factor that affects the life span of the landfill unit is the on -site compaction of
its daily operation. The compaction ratio varies from 800 lb/cy to 1200 lb/cy
based on historical data. An average compaction ratio of 1000 lb/cy can be
easily achieved by modern spreading and compaction equipment and proper
landfilling operation. Based on the assumption of 1000 lb/cy in -place density
Brunswick County Page - 33
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

(compaction ratio) of solid waste, the vertical expansion is expected to have
enough airspace to store the solid waste generated between October, 1993 and
December, 1997. As mentioned previously, the compaction ratio of the solid
waste varies through the landfilling operation and can have a significant
influence on the expected life span of the landfill unit. Three different
compaction ratios were used in predicting the closing dates of the landfill
facility. Figure 4-4 shows scenarios of the phasing plan versus the closing dates
for three different compaction ratios.
Line A shows the projected completing time of each phase and the closing time
of the whole facility when the average compaction ratio is 800 lb/cy. By
extending a line horizontally from the point representing the accumulated
capacity of five phases in y axis, an interception point is obtained on line A.
The correspondent reading in x axis represents the projected closing time when
the last phase is completed. It shows that the whole landfill facility will be
closed in February, 1996 which is earlier then the proposed closing date. Line
A also shows that another 180,000 cubic yard of air space will be required if
the County intends to operate the unit until the proposed closing date.
Line B represents the scenario in which a compaction ratio of 1000 lb/cy is
achieved. It is the compaction ratio used in developing the vertical expansion
plan. As it shows, the capacity provided by the vertical expansion is adequate
to store the solid waste generated during the design period. The projected
completion dates of each phase are August, 1994 for phase I, January, 1996 for
phase II, March, 1997 for phase III, July, 1997 for phase IV, and December,
1997 for final closure.
Finally, line C shows a significant saving in airspace if a higher compaction
Brunswick County Page - 34
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

ratio of 1200 lb/cy is achieved. As indicated in line C, only three phases of the
vertical plan are required to store the solid waste generated during the design
period. An immediate benefit from the reduction of airspace is a saving in its
closure and the following post closure care. According to the Solid Waste
regulations, the cap system described in Rule .1627 is not required for disposal
areas which stop receiving waste before October, 1991. Area A of the landfill
facility is qualified for this exemption. A higher compaction ratio of solid waste
reduces the phases of the vertical expansion as demonstrated by line C in
Figure 4-4 and subsequently reduces areas requiring the cap system.

5.0 OPERATION PLAN
5.1 Introduction
The operation plan has been prepared in accordance with the North Carolina
Solid Waste Management Regulations dated October 9, 1993. Section .1625
and .1626 of the regulations govern the operation of sanitary landfills, and all
conditions of the operating permit granted by the Solid Waste Division shall
take precedence and be complied with by landfill operations if there are an
factual or perceived contradictions with the text of this plan. The site manager
should be familiar with the North Carolina Solid Waste Regulation and Facility
Permit. A copy of 15A NCAC 13B Section .1625 and .1626 is provided in
Attachment D.
The operation plan describes proposed operations for the Brunswick County
Sanitary Landfill. The facility accepts municipal solid waste only and will not
accept hazardous and liquid waste as defined in Section .1600 of 15A NCAC
13B. Based on the proposed vertical expansion presented in this report, the
existing landfill site and is designed to hold solid waste generated within the
County until 1998. Since the existing landfill facility is about to be filled to the
final elevation of its 1983 construction plan and permitted capacity, this
operation plan will focus on the landfill operation of its vertical expansion.
However, most of the methods and procedures in this operation plan are
applied to general landfilling activities and should be followed for all landfill
operations.
This operation plan provides specific information and guidance for the
operators and managers of the Brunswick County sanitary landfill facility. The
Brunswick County Page - 37
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

success of the operation at this site depends upon each employee properly
performing the assigned job. The operation plan is intended to serve as a site
reference and training document. Every employee shall be required to become
knowledgeable of this landfill operating plan.
5.2 General Information
5.2.1 Owner/Operator of Landfill
The Brunswick County Landfill is located on County -owned property
and is operated by County personnel who perform all operations
associated with the site preparation, refuse disposal record keeping,
facility maintenance, land restoration and site safety and security. The
County is responsible for the erection and maintenance of all structures
and site improvements required for the operation of the landfill.
5.2.2 Operational Life of Landfill
The vertical expansion of the facility provides approximately 868,200
cubic yard of waste disposal capacity. An area fill method shall be used
for landfilling operation. The projected usable life of the vertical
expansion of the landfill is approximately three years. See Chapter 4
for waste stream projection and capacity calculation.
5.2.3 Acceptable Waste
The Brunswick County Sanitary Landfill is designated a nonhazardous
waste disposal facility and designed for the burial of municipal solid
Brunswick County Page - 38
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

waste. As stated in Section 3.1, a demolition debris landfill is located
adjacent to the sanitary landfill and accepts demolition waste, inert
waste (brick, concrete, rubble), construction waste, brushes, trees,
trimmings and stumps. In addition, tires and white goods are also
accepted in the demolition debris landfill. No industrial, toxic
hazardous, or liquid waste shall be accepted and disposed of at this site.
5.2.4 Personnel and Duties
Currently, the county employs 13 people for normal landfill operation.
Those include one solid waste Director, one Project Foreman, one Scale
House Operator and ten Landfill Equipment Operators. It is assumed
that the existing staffing size will be adequate for usual daily operation
until December 1997 which is the proposed closing date of the existing
landfill. Peak solid waste receipt periods, or other emergency conditions
may require overtime work by existing staff. A detail personnel and
duty description provided by the county is shown in Exhibit 5-2-4.
5.2.5 Site Communication
Site communications at the landfill center around the scale house. The
scale house provides the communication link to points outside and
inside the landfill site. The scale house and operations equipment are
linked as follows:
Telephone - Standard telephone service located in the scale house.
Primary purpose is to communicate to points outside this landfill site.
Brunswick County Page - 39
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

Two -Way Radio - The scale house and county vehicles (trucks) are
equipped with two-way radios which are tuned to the Brunswick County
dedicated frequency. Communications can be made with other units
within the Brunswick County governmental unit.
Citizens Band Radio (C.B.'s) - C.B. radios are located in the
compactors, other operations equipment and in the scale house.
Primary use is to link communications between the scale house and
other operations.
5.3 Landfilling Operation
5.3.1 Operating Hours
The landfill will be open to accept waste from Monday through Friday.
Actual hours of operation will be posted at the main entrance to the
landfill. The landfill will normally be closed on Sundays and the
following holidays:
- New Year Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
5.3.2 Access and Safety Requirement
Access to the facility by all vehicles are via U.S. Highway 17. The
access road to the site is of all weather construction and sprinklers are
provided along portions of the road as needed to control the dust. The
Brunswick County Page - 40
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

entrance allows for safe and orderly traffic flow into and out of the
facility. Signs posting hours of operations, dumping procedure, permit
number, disposal restriction and other pertinent information specified
in the permit conditions are provided at the entrance.
All vehicles entering the disposal area are to stop at the entrance gate
for security check -in, identification and to be weighted. Once vehicles
delivering waste have been weighted, they shall follow signs posted
along access road or directions provided by the scale house attendant
to either the demolition landfill or sanitary landfill based on the type of
waste presented for disposal. Traffic signs are provided as necessary to
and from the unloading areas and to maintain efficient operating
conditions. After the wastes have been unloaded, all vehicles will be
weighed again at the entrance such that the net wight of loads can be
recorded.
Fencing is provided at the main entrance to discourage vandalism,
scavenging or trespassing when the landfill is not open. Site boundaries
should be checked regularly for evidence of unauthorized personnel and
vehicle entry. The front gate should be locked when the landfill is
closed to operations. Scavenging must be prohibited and enforced by
the operator. Posting of "No Trespassing" signs around the periphery
of the landfill will help to discourage unauthorized entry. Lines of
communication should be established with the local sheriff department
to perform routine surveillance. The removal of solid waste from the
landfill is prohibited unless the owner or operator approves and the
removal is not performed on the working face.
Brunswick County Page - 41
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

Barrels and drums shall not be disposed of in the landfill unless they are
empty and perforated sufficiently to ensure that no liquid or hazardous
waste is contained therein, except fiber drums containing asbestos.
5.3.3 Weighing Solid Waste
All incoming waste shall be weighed in order to ensure accurate waste
stream records. The general procedure shall consist of two basic
approaches. The first approach shall be a "weighed twice" approach
where the incoming vehicle shall be weighed upon entering the site and
again after dumping. The second approach will be to utilize certified
"empty vehicle weights" and the actual incoming weight to establish the
weight of the waste. This approach shall be utilized when an incoming
vehicle is marked with its E.V.W. in accordance with N.C.D.O.T. and
N.C. Department of Agriculture. The scale house attendant shall be
responsible for recording the resulting waste weight under both
approaches.
5.3.4 Progression of Construction and Operation
The landfilling technique used is the "area method". In this method, the
landfilling operation begins with tipping solid wastes on the ground,
then compactors are used to obtain maximum compaction of the waste
by compacting normal to the face of the slope, at 2 or 3 feet depths of
waste at a time and by confining the area to be compacted daily. Figure
5-3-A illustrates a typical area method of landfill operation and basic
method of refuse cell construction. Phasing plans presented on the
engineering drawings provide the sequence for proper refuse cell
construction as well as other details associated with landfill
development.

5.3.4.1 Waste Placement
The working face is that portion of the land disposal site on
which solid waste are discharged, spread and compacted prior
to the placement of cover material. Waste should be
dumped 10-feet from the toe of the working face and pushed
up the slope. In order to prevent loads of waste from being
dumped too far away from the toe, refuse trucks can back
toward the toe, following a path created by the equipment
pushing refuse into the working face. To maintain sanitary
operation, the working face should be kept as narrow as
possible. By keeping the working face narrow, equipment
movement, cover material requirements and the area of
exposed waste are minimized, thus reducing blowing litter,
vector problems and operation cost. The optimal daily
working face width will vary depending on the number of
vehicles bringing waste to the site. The working face should
be wide enough to prevent a large backlog of trucks.
However, the width should not be so wide as to expose an
undue amount of waste to wind or birds. Placement of solid
waste inside the facility shall be restricted into the smallest
area feasible. Based on the current waste stream, it is
estimated that a working face of 75 to 100 feet in width and
35 to 50 feet in length will satisfy this criteria. The depth will
also vary depending on the daily waste stream but should be
approximately 6 to 10 feet. Temporary barricades or flags
may be used as daily width markers for guiding equipment
operators and for traffic control.
Brunswick County Page - 44
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

It is the intention (to the extent that safe operations on a
sloped surface allow) that each working area be brought to
the maximum elevation possible before overflowing
landfilling operations into the next working area. Further, it
is intended that final contours be achieved as early as
possible so as to maximize run-off instead of percolation of
rain waters into the landfill which would eventually become
leachate. In addition, once the final contour is achieved, the
run-off of stormwater can easily be diverted into the
periphery instead of onto working faces and unused landfill
areas.
5.3.4.2 Spreading and Compacting
Proper refuse cell construction involves spreading and
compacting deposited waste. These functions can be
accomplished with compactors and bulldozers.
Spreading will be done by either a compactor or a bulldozer.
The purpose of spreading action is to move waste from the
tipping location into the working face and to distribute waste
over the working face in a thin layer (about 2-feet). High
field densities can be achieved by compacting in thin layers.
Good compaction is achieved by operating the landfill
compactor up and down the working face after the waste has
been spread into a thin layer. Proper compaction of the
waste will extend landfill life and reduce litter and bird
Brunswick County Page - 45
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

problems. To maximize compaction, the working face should
be kept at a maximum slope of 3 horizontal to 1 vertical.
Maximum daily lift height will be about 10-feet to provide
good compaction. A cell module construction profile is
illustrated in Figure 5-3-B.
5.3.4.3 Cover
At the end of each working day a 6-inch daily soil cover shall
be applied to control odors, vectors and litter. Appropriate
earth hauling equipment will be used to excavate and haul
soil from the borrow area to the stockpile located near the
working face, where it will be placed and compacted.
Cover soil stockpile location will change daily throughout the
life of the landfill depending on site conditions and location
of the active working face. On a day-to-day basis, cover
material will be stockpiled near the working face. Landfill
equipment can begin pushing or spreading daily cover over
the active cell area when and where it has reached its limit
for the day. Alternate daily cover can be applied in place of
soil if approved by the North Carolina Division of Solid
Waste Management. Adequate amounts of acceptable daily
cover or alternative daily cover will be maintained at the
landfill and available at all times. All stockpiles will be
graded to minimize erosion potential. Silt fences or diversion
berms will also be utilized as necessary to control erosion.
Brunswick County Page - 46
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

Daily cover is essential to prevent disturbance of waste by
wind and animals, to suppress fires, and to abate leachate
production. A 12-inch layer of soil of intermediate cover
shall be applied on areas that will be exposed for more than
6 months (i.e, top of the final lift, or portion of other lifts
that will not be soon covered by additional refuse).
5.3.5 Special Waste Acceptance and Disposal Requirement
Certain types of waste can be accepted or more efficiently handled if
special consideration is given to the procedure of disposal. The
following procedures are required by state regulations or have been
utilized in the past and are included for reference at this facility.
5.3.5.1 Asbestos
Asbestos waste will be disposed in accordance with 40 CFR
61. The approximate disposal location of the asbestos will be
documented through the use of the site manager's daily log.
The North Carolina Solid Waste Management rules require
asbestos materials to be segregated in an area not contiguous
with other disposal areas or at the bottom of the working
face. The asbestos materials will be covered immediately
with at least 1-foot of soil in a manner that will not cause
airborne conditions.

5.3.5.2 Other Putrescible Waste
Spoiled food, animal carcasses, abattoir waste, hatchery waste
and other animal waste shall be covered immediately.
5.3.5.3 Sludge
Co -disposal of sludge will be accomplished by spreading the
sludge and refuse and compacting the mass down into the
working face. Sludge can be utilized as a soil conditioner
applied onto the vegetative growth layer but should be no
more than 6-inches in depth.
5.3.5.4 Bulky Wastes
Crushable items such as furniture should be deposited near
the working face if traffic permits. Landfill equipment should
be used to crush the item on solid fill, then push it into the
face. Resulting depressions should be backfilled with waste.
Long (greater than 3-feet), awkward items such as rolls of
paper and plastic should be placed parallel to the working
face and covered with conventional waste.
Large metal wastes such as pipes, rolls of cable and wires
should be avoided by landfill equipment. They should be
placed directly at the active face rather than pushed by a
compactor or bulldozer. The metal wastes are then covered
Brunswick County Page - 49
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

by household or demolition wastes. This should prevent
unnecessary equipment damage. Where possible, large
amounts or pieces of metal wastes should be moved aside
and stored for transportation to a recycling facility in
accordance with the county's guidelines.
5.3.5.5 Low -Density Wastes
Waste types such as agricultural wastes, loose plastic film or
foam rubber, and plastic scraps or shavings require special
handling. These materials present problems because they
rebound after being compacted by the equipment. In order
to achieve maximum densities, light-wight materials should be
spread into 1 to 2 feet deep layers and then covered with
regular waste and compacted as usual into the base of the
cell.
5.3.5.6 Powdery Wastes
Dry industrial wastes such as sawdust, exhaust trappings and
carbon dust are usually powdery, thus requiring special
handling. These wastes are problems because they are easily
stirred by the equipment and blown by the wind. Once
airborne, the dust may be a hazard to personnel through
inhalation or skin contact. Personnel working in areas with
powdery wastes should wear protective clothing and
respirators. Some powdery wastes may be wet down with
water from the truck and then covered immediately with soil
Brunswick County Page - 50
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

or regular waste. If water is not available, cover powdery
wastes with soil or refuse to reduce blowing and dust
generation.
5.3.5.7 White Goods
In accordance with the 1993 North Carolina White Goods
Act, Brunswick County has prepared a white goods plan for
disposal of white goods generated inside the county.
Appliances for disposal are collected at 6 locations
throughout the county. All collected white goods are
transported to the existing landfill at for further processing.
The white Goods Plan is attached as Appendix E.
5.3.6 Hazardous and Liquid Waste Screening Program
The landfill is permitted as a municipal solid waste landfill and as such
must not receive hazardous waste and liquid waste as defined within
15A NCAC 13B and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste as defined
in 40 CFR 761. It is of importance that these waste do not enter the
landfill because of the potential damage and liability that these waste
could cause should they enter the environment, particularly the
groundwater.
5.3.6.1 Definition - Hazardous Waste
Hazardous waste means a solid waste, or combination of
solid waste, which because of its quantity, concentration, or
physical, chemical or infectious characteristic may: a)
Brunswick County Page - 51
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

Cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality
or an increase in serious irreversible illness or b) pose a
substantial present or potential hazard to human health or
the environment when improperly treated, stored,
transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed.
Liquid waste means any waste material that is determined to
contain "free liquids" as defined by Method 9095 (Paint Filter
Liquid Test).
5.3.6.2 Random Inspection Plan
A random inspection plan should be implemented to prevent
the on -site disposal of unauthorized hazardous and liquid
wastes. The plan shall contain an inspection program to be
staffed by personnel who have been trained to recognize
unauthorized hazardous and liquid wastes. At a minimum,
the following shall be included in the inspection program.
1. Periodical visual inspection of loads at the gate and by
operators at the disposal site.
2. Any suspicious load should be inspected thoroughly.
3. Records of inspections should be made in a daily log
maintained at the landfill. Log entries of inspection
should include: truck identification, driver's name,
source of material(s) (if possible) or route and what, if
Brunswick County Page - 52
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

any, prohibited material(s) were included. If none were
observed, or only normal quantities of household
hazardous, this too should be logged.
4. Training of facility personnel to recognize regulated
hazardous wastes will be necessary. Assistance can be
provided by the North Carolina Division of Solid Waste
Management.
5. Establishment of specific procedures for notification of
proper authorities if a regulated hazardous waste is
discovered.
A detailed screening plan developed by the County is
provided in Appendix F.
5.3.7 Equipment
The equipment currently employed at the existing landfill includes:
Two (2) each wheeled scrapers
Two (2) each track dozers
Two (2) each landfill compactors
One (1) each track loader
Equipment similarities allow different equipment to perform similar
functions as necessary. For example; when a compactor breaks down,
a bulldozer can perform the compacting operation. Therefore, the
Brunswick County Page - 53
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

equipment listed above should be adequate even if one of the pieces of
equipment is temporarily out of service. Because of the age of the
existing landfill equipment, it is anticipated some units will need to be
replaced at a later date. The primary functions of heavy equipment are
spreading and compacting solid waste, excavating, hauling and spreading
cover material. In addition to heavy equipment, the County also uses
motor graders, rubber tired and track back hoes, dump truck and other
incidental equipment from its fleet for landfill operation and
maintenance as required. The County may rent, lease or purchase other
equipment as needed to ensure completion of the work.
5.3.8 Landfill Active Area Controls
5.3.8.1 Litter Control
(a) Prevention of Litter at the Working Face
Maintaining proper litter control is essential to the operation
of a sanitary landfill. When working in areas below
embankment elevation litter is less likely to escape than when
working above embankment elevation. Litter control
procedures for the landfill are discussed below:
1. Much of the potential litter problem may be prevented
by following proper techniques at the working face. This
will reduce the amount of refuse exposed to the wind.
2. When top dumping, refuse should be placed as usual and
Brunswick County Page - 54
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

spread downward.
3. Compacted waste should be covered as soon as practical
to minimize blowing litter.
4. Control placement of waste by directing off-loading
vehicles as close to the working face as possible.
(b) Control of Litter with Litter Fences
Litter that escapes from the working face of the fill area can
be controlled by litter fences. Movable or stationary fences
can be positioned near the fill face as wind and fill
operations change. Litter fences can be placed around the
perimeter of the fill areas for additional litter control.
Litter will likely occur even with proper litter controls. The
following clean-up procedures will be followed on a routine
basis:
1. Litter Clean-up from Fences: Litter will be removed
from and along litter fences daily.
2. Clean-up Along On -Site Roads. Litter occurring along
on -site roads will not be allowed to accumulate. This
litter will be cleaned up as necessary.
3. Clean-up at Entrance Area and Entrance Roads: The
Brunswick County Page - 55
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

site entrance and road leading to the entrance will be
inspected each day. These locations will be cleaned of
litter as necessary.
5.3.8.2 Dust Control
Due to the types of cover and fill materials present at the
site, dust may be a concern. Dust control will be
implemented during operation of the landfill, by application
of water sprays from a water tank truck. The frequency of
application of water for dust control will depend on site
conditions and specific operation being performed. When
necessary, water will be sprinkled on heavily used roads. The
paved main access road will be regularly cleaned to control
dust.
5.3.8.3 Vector Control
Vectors, animals or insects that transmit pathogens, are kept
within acceptable limits at a properly operated and
maintained sanitary landfill. Maintaining a narrow working
face, providing daily cover on exposed areas and eliminating
water ponding are primary safeguards against vector
problems. Well -compacted wastes and cover material
effectively prevent vectors emerging from or burrowing into
wastes.
If concerns over rodents or insects occur, monitoring and
Brunswick County Page - 56
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

survey for vectors may be conducted to verify effectiveness or
identify and implement improved vector control practices.
Expert assistance can be sought from the N.C. Department
of Agriculture.
5.3.8.4 Odor Control
Odors are best controlled by effective daily covers, as well as
compaction. Effective daily covering of the compacted
wastes should prevent or lesson odors. Immediately covering
putrescible waste will be an effective measure in combating
nuisance odors.
5.4 Environmental Control
5.4.1 Stormwater and Drainage Control
The approach for control of surface water run-off and run-on for the
Brunswick County Landfill Facility is presented in this section and
the engineering drawing. Surface water controls are designed to
collect, route and detain precipitation falling within the property
boundaries, to limit infiltration into the refuse areas, to minimize
downstream impacts and to minimize run-on/run-off impacts to the
site.
5.4.1.1 Run -Off Controls
The design of drainage, erosion and sediment controls are in
Brunswick County Page - 57
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

accordance with the North Carolina Solid Waste
Management rules and North Carolina Erosion and Sediment
Control Design Manual.
During landfill construction, drainage will be diverted away
from the active areas by sloping the land and through use of
diversion ditches. After the landfill is capped, stormwater
management will consist of the following major categories:
- Cap Drainage on 5 % top slope.
- Cap Drainage on 25 % sideslope.
- Downslope Pipes
- Collection Channels.
Each category is briefly described below.
a. Cap Drainage on Top Slopes
Surface water run-off from the 5 percent top slope will
flow toward, and be collected by, drainage terrace on
the 5 percent sideslopes. This drainage terrace
basically separates the 5 percent top slope and the 4:1
sideslope. The top drainage terraces which collect
surface water from the 5 percent top slopes, is a 20-
feet wide v-shape channel, 1-foot deep, with 10:1 slope
on both sides. The terrace is sloped at approximate 1
percent toward downslope pipes. (See the schedule on
Sheet No. 12 of the drawing set for specific design
Brunswick County Page - 58
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

information.)
b. Cap Drainage on Sideslope
Surface water run-off from 4:1 sideslopes is collected
by drainage terraces. These terraces are constructed at
various width, depth, Sideslope and bottom slope based
on the location and stormwater discharge. Some of the
Sideslope terraces are previously constructed.
Currently, these existing terraces have enough capacity
to handle the 25 year stormwater drainage and need
only minor modification. The proposed new Sideslope
drainage terraces are 12 feet wide, V-shape channel,
1.5 feet deep with 4:1 side slope on both sides. See
Appendix D and Sheet No. 12 of engineering drawing
for detailed information.
C. Downslope Pipes
The downslope pipes consist of one pipe sloped at 25
which discharges into energy dissipators at the landfill's
perimeter drainage ditches. Downslope pipes are 12
inch or 16 inch diameter plastic corrugated pipe sized
according to flow rates from the appropriate drainage
terrace. Surface water which flows from the drainage
terrace enters downslope flume through inlets located
at terrace's low point. (See Sheet No. 12 of the drawing
set for pipe size and dissipator design information.)
Brunswick County Page - 59
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Transition Plan

d. Perimeter Collection Channel
The collection channel extends around the landfill,
beyond the limits of waste, and conveys surface water
from the landfill to the appropriate sedimentation
basins. The collection channels consist of an 3-foot
bottom trapezoidal channel, 1.5 feet deep, with 3:1
sideslopes. The channel slope varies and is shown in
the schedule on Sheet No. 12 of engineering drawing.
The lining of the channel is grass except where the
velocity of the flow exceeds 2.5 feet per second.
Where the velocity of the flow exceeds 2.5 feet per
second, the channel will be lined with riprap.
5.4.1.2 Run -On Control
Due to site topography and location of the landfill
facility, surface water run-on during operations and
post -closure is not expected to be a concern. Diversion
channels are proposed to carry surface water from the
nearby watershed around the access road and away
from the active landfill area.
5.4.2 Erosion and Sediment Control
Erosion at the landfill will most likely occur during wet weather. The
disturbed loose soil materials in the working area are subject to the
erosive action of flowing water. Control methods, such as planting
Brunswick County Page - 60

of grass (by seeding or sodding) or the use of rip -rap, wil! be
employed to minimize erosion. Provision for a vegetative ground
cover sufficient to restrain erosion must be accomplished within 30
working days or 120 calendar days upon completion of any phase of
landfill development. Drainage structures shall be installed and
continuously maintained to prevent ponding and erosion, and to
minimize infiltration of water into solid waste cells. In addition, silt
fences and sediment traps will be constructed at proper locations to
capture the sediment. Refer to the engineering drawings for
additional information on sedimentation and erosion control
measures for each phase.
5.4.3 Air Quality and Fire Prevention
The landfill operators must ensure that the units do not violate air
quality requirement per State regulations. Open burning of solid
waste is not allowed by the State law, expect for the infrequent
burning of land clearing debris generated on site or debris from
emergency clean-up operation. Any such infrequent burning must be
approved by the North Carolina Division of Solid Waste
Management.
By keeping the landfill clean and the waste covered daily, the
potential for fire hazards can be diminished. Daily cover will act as
a "fire wall" segregating the wastes and decreasing the potential for
spread of underground fires. Fires within the waste may be
controlled by digging out the burning materials, spreading and then
covering it with dirt. Fire extinguishers should also be readily

available. Arrangements should be made with local fire fighters to
establish procedures for extinguishing landfill fires. If there is a fire,
the operator should report to the State Division of Solid Waste
Management verbally within 24 hours and provide written
notification within 15 days.
5.4.4 Explosive Gas Control
Gases typically generating from landfills are ammonia, carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, methane, nitrogen,
organic acids and oxygen. Of these gases, only hydrogen sulfide,
organic acids and ammonia are detectable by smell. For the purpose
of this section, "explosive gas" means methane generated from the
anaerobic decomposition of the organic solid waste components.
Methane is the gas of principle concern at a landfill facility.
Concentrations of methane pose significant explosion and toxicity
potential. Methane is lighter than air and subsequently may become
trapped under structures, such as in crawl spaces or even in poorly
ventilated buildings.
Under the new State solid waste regulation requirements, municipal
landfills must be monitored for explosive gas, with levels not to
exceed 25 percent of the lower explosive limit for methane at the
landfill's facilities and not to exceed the lower explosive limit for
methane at the facility property boundary. The lower explosive limit
is to be measured as the lowest percentage by volume of a mixture
of explosive gases in air that propagate a flame at 25 9C and
atmospheric pressure.

5.4.4.1 Gas Vent System
A venting system of gravel filled vent wells is designed
to control the concentration of methane gas generated
by the facility. Perforated pipes are laid within the
gravel to function as a collector manifold, directing the
gas to a point of controlled release through vertical
riser pipes. A typical gas vent is shown on sheet
number 09 of engineering drawings. The location of
the vents are shown on Sheet No. 3 of the engineering
drawings. The gas system is installed inside the landfill
limits to control gas at its point of generation. The
proposed vents will be installed at various stages of
development as the phases are completed. The system
will be operated mainly to reduce gas pressure in the
landfill.
5.4.4.2 Monitoring System
The landfill gas monitoring includes the installation of
monitoring wells and the use of portable field
instruments for measuring gas concentration. This
section provides information on well construction. The
gas monitoring instrument and detailed procedures are
discussed later in the following section.

Since there are no "hot spots" specified on the landfill
site currently, the locations selected for monitoring
wells are adjacent to the waste boundary area of the
disposal area. Nine gas monitoring wells are proposed
and are installed at uniform distances along the
perimeter. These well location are shown on sheet
number 03 of the engineering drawings. The
construction of a new well begins with drilling a 6'
diameter hole. A 4" diameter monitoring well will be
installed in the resulting boreholes. The well consists of
a 4-inch diameter, schedule 40 PVC pipe with 10 feet
screened sections and 10 feet solid sections alternately.
Screened sections are provided from the well base to
within 24 inches of the rough graded landfill surface
and have minimum slot openings of 0.05 inches. The
depth of the wells is within 18 inches of the seasonal
high ground water table or to bedrock elevation at that
well location. The bottom of the well is sealed with a
threaded or butt welded plug consisting the same
material and thickness as the well body. Filter gravel is
placed around the outside of the pipe from the bottom
of the well to the top of the screened interval. A
bentonite seal is installed on top of the gravel fill to
seal the monitoring well from the gravel envelop to
final rough grade elevation. A steel protective casing
will then be anchored with a concrete apron sloped at
the surface to shed surface water. See sheet number 10
of the engineering drawings for gas monitoring well

construction details.
5.4.4.3 Gas Testing Instrument
With the use of a portable field instrument, field
monitoring determines the concentrations of landfill
gases. A GASTECH model GP-204 combustible gas
indicator is used to detect the gas concentrations in the
field. A picture of the gas indicator is shown in Figure
5-4-4-3 The model GP-204 combustible gas indicator is
a compact battery -operated instrument that can be
used for taking an air sample and indicating the
presence and concentration of combustible gas.
Methane content is currently the required parameter
for landfill gas investigation according to Rule .1626
(4) of the North Carolina Solid Waste Regulations.
Samples of the air under test are drawn by means of a
rubber aspirator bulb and analyzed for combustible gas
content on a heated platinum filament. A built-in
meter indicates combustible gas content as percent of
lower explosive limit.
5.4.4.4 Gas Testing Procedure
Before the instrument is taken on the job, the battery
voltage should be checked. To check, put switch in
voltage adjustment position. Meter should rise to the
"CHECK" position. Lift and turn voltage adjustment

control clockwise to determine maximum voltage
setting. If it cannot be set beyond mark, batteries need
recharging or replacement foe full capacity. Do not
attempt to use instrument at all if reading cannot be
set up to mark.
If voltage is satisfactory, continue with the next step of
preliminary adjustment as follows:
1. Confirm operation of pilot light/meter illuminating
lamp.
2. With sample inlet in fresh air, squeeze bulb several
times to flush out any remaining gas.
3. Check zero setting by turning switch to "ON"
position. Meter should read close to zero. Lift and turn
ZERO knob to bring reading to exactly 0.
4. Couple sampling hose to instrument inlet and
connect probe to end of hose. Make sure connections
are secure.
5. Admit a sample of some combustible gas to end of
probe and confirm that meter needle rises upscale.
Once the instrument is adjusted, it may be turned off
and carried to the job. To make gas test, proceed as
