NASH COUNTY C&DLF AND HORIZONTAL EXPANSION
OPERATION PLAN
(3) Appropriate methods such as fencing and diking must be provided within the area to
confine solid waste which is subject to be blown by the wind. At the conclusion of each
operating day, all windblown material resulting from the operation must be collected
and disposed of by the owner and operator.
The Owner will make available durable equipment that performs reliably and safely with a
minimum unscheduled service, equipment to provide suitable material handling capability
and compaction for the given waste volumes anticipated. At minimum, one (1) 70,000-pound
plus machine with a waste handling arrangement and toothed compactor wheels will be
available at the working face at all times.
The procedures for placement and compaction of solid waste include: unloading of vehicles,
spreading of waste into 2 foot lifts, and compaction on relatively flat slopes (i.e. 5H:1V max.)
using a landfill compactor and a minimum number of three full passes.
11.4 SPECIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT
Nash County C&D Landfill may dispose of asbestos within the C&D landfill unit. Asbestos
will only be accepted if it has been processed and packaged in accordance with State and
Federal (40 CFR 61) regulations. Asbestos will arrive at the site in vehicles that contain only
the asbestos waste and only after advance notification by the generator.
Once the hauler brings the asbestos to the landfill, the hauler will be directed to the
designated asbestos disposal area by operations personnel. The designated disposal area
will be prepared by operations personnel by leveling a small area using a dozer or loader.
Prior to disposal, the landfill operators will stockpile cover soil near the designated asbestos
disposal area. The volume of soil stockpiled will be sufficient to cover the waste and to
provide any berms, etc. to maintain temporary separation from other landfill traffic.
Once placed in the prepared area, the asbestos waste will be covered with a minimum of 18
inches of cover soil placed in a single lift. The surface of the cover soil will be compacted
and graded using a tracked dozer or loader. The landfill compactor will be prohibited from
operating over asbestos disposal areas until at least 18 inches of cover are in -place.
The landfill staff will record the approximate location and elevation of the asbestos waste
once cover is in -place. The Landfill Manager will then review pertinent disposal and location
information to assure compliance with regulatory requirements and enter the information into
the Operating Record.
Once disposal and recording for asbestos waste is completed, the disposal area may be
covered with waste. No excavation into designated asbestos disposal areas will be permitted.
11.5 YARD WASTE MANAGEMENT
Nash County accepts yard waste at the designated Yard Waste Management Area indicated
on the overall facility plan in the Engineering Drawings. The yard waste material accepted
Page 12 of 17

NASH COUNTY C&DLF AND HORIZONTAL EXPANSION
OPERATION PLAN
by Nash County consists primarily of tree debris and land clearing debris. High nitrogen yard
waste such as grass clippings, leaves, and bush trimmings, while accepted at the Nash
County Landfill, represents an insignificant portion of the waste stream, and is distributed
throughout the yard waste stockpiles. Composting of yard waste is not performed at the
Nash County Landfill.
Nash County contracts grinding services as necessary to maintain stockpiles no larger than
30 feet high and 50 feet wide of unlimited length. Ground materials are also maintained in
stockpiles no larger than 30 feet high and 50 feet wide of unlimited length. A minimum of 20
feet shall be maintained between individual stockpiles to facility firefighting equipment
access. Stockpiles are managed to not create excessive temperatures, attract vectors, or
produce objectionable odors.
Ground yard waste materials are not offered to the public. Ground yard waste materials are
sold for boiler fuel as market conditions permit. Ground yard waste/mulch that has not been
composted can also be used as landscape mulch on the landfill property in areas that are
not accessible to the public (for example, it can't be used around the site entrance, office
buildings, or scale house).
11.6 WHITE GOODS MANAGEMENT
Nash County accepts white goods at the designated white goods area indicated on the
overall facility plan in the Engineering Drawings. Nash County's White Goods Plan is
included in Appendix B.
11.7 WASTE TIRES
Nash County accepts waste tires at the designated area indicated on the overall facility plan
in the Engineering Drawings.
11.8 COVER MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS
The Owner of the C&DLF shall comply with cover material requirements as follows:
(1) Except as provided in Subparagraph (3) of this Paragraph, the owners and operators
of all C&DLF units must cover the solid waste with six inches of earthen material when
the waste disposal area exceeds one-half acre and at least once weekly. Cover must
be placed at more frequent intervals if necessary to control disease vectors, fires,
odors, blowing litter, and scavenging. A notation of the date and time of the cover
placement must be recorded in the operating record as specified in Paragraph (n) of
this Rule.
(2) Except as provided in Subparagraph (3) of this Paragraph, areas which will not have
additional wastes placed on them for three months or more, but where final termination
of disposal operations has not occurred, must be covered and stabilized with
vegetative ground cover or other stabilizing material.

Donna,
Thanks for your call this evening and for the quick response. Per our conversation, I have attached a revised drawing of
the previously submitted layout that now includes notes concerning site access. Please let me know as soon as possible
if you have any further concerns. As I mentioned, this is a time -critical issue at this point.

Donna,
Thank you for your comments. My original intent was to have the operator honor the swales and associated minimum
buffer as an operational item within the boundary depicted. Based on your comments, I have revised the site layout to
exclude the existing swales and show a 25' buffer. Note (8) has been modified accordingly. The revised drawing is
attached.
While the area is indeed low-lying, it is approximately 10 feet above the groundwater table based on the May 2017
groundwater readings in the vicinity. Note (11) has been modified accordingly.
I trust that this response satisfies your concerns. Please let me know if you have any further comments.

Craig — The proposed temporary yard waste area in the old borrow pit doesn't meet the setbacks to a swale or berm.
There's a drainage ditch crossing through the middle of it. This area is low lying as well.

Hi Donna,
Thanks for your question. The area identified on the plan you attached is currently low-lying, and unsuitable for
immediate use without improvement. These improvements are slated for the upcoming Phase 4 expansion project that
is going out for bids this month. The area identified on the plan we sent yesterday does not require improvement and is
available for use as soon it is approved. Does this answer your question?

Thanks,
Craig

Hello Craig,
I've talked with John College about the fire and proposed temporary yard waste storage area. I understand that the fire
is in the old yard waste storage area, on the west side of the haul road. When we approved the expansion for the
landfill, the new yard waste storage area was approved for the east side of the haul road, directly across from the old
one, the one still in use. Why wouldn't the County use the existing approved yard waste storage area?
I've attached a site plan drawing from the approved application showing the approved yard waste area.
