Subject:Request to submit Environmental Documents, A-1 Sandrock CDLF, MSE wall application, 41-17
Hi Ronnie:

FID XXX
After conducting a quick review of the responses to the comments and the revised permit to construct (PTC)
application for the MSE wall (MSEW) construction at the C&DLF (FID 1389529) dated January 2020, the
Solid Waste Section disagrees with the statements regarding the environmental study, described in the fourth
paragraph, Section 1.1 of the Facility Plan (FID 1389529). Upon completing the proposed MSEW, the A-1
Sandrock C&DLF will have the approved gross capacity of approximately 4.3 million cubic yards (MCY),
almost double from the originally approved gross capacity of 2.24 MCY which is trigging the substantial
amendment to the permit per NCGS 130A-294(b1)(1).

According to NCGS 130A-295.6(a), A-1 Sandrock, Inc. must conduct a study of the environmental impacts
(Environmental Study) of the proposed landfill expansion which is considered as a “new permit” as defined in
NCGS 130A-294(a3)(1)b. The Environmental Study shall meet all of the requirements set forth in NCGS
113A-4 and rules adopted pursuant to G.S. 113A-4. The link to the law is providing as follow
https://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/ByChapter/Chapter_113A.html. A-1 Sandrock, Inc.
shall submit stand-alone Environmental Study for review via state clearinghouse processes.

Additionally, pursuant to NCGS 130A-294(a)(4) c.9., A-1 Sandrock, Inc. must demonstrate that the proposed
wall construction and landfill expansion will not generate cumulative impact to local community with an
Environmental Justice Review to assess demographics and socioeconomics in the facility’s surrounding
community and address any potential impacts of the project. Please contact Sarah Rice at 919-707-8287 or
[e-mail] for submitting required documents in compliance with Title VI of the federal Civil
Rights Act of 1964. The required documents must be prepared and placed in the separate cover from the PTC
application.

It may be taking time to finalize the statutory-required documents. The Solid Waste Section issued this request
prior to completing the technical review of the revised permit application to reduce time required for completing
the permit application review processes.

Regards,
