Re: Notification of Site Suitability
Proposed Solid Waste Management Facility
Anson County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Urrutia:
ID FE F1
The Solid Waste Section of the Division of Solid Waste Management has completed its review
of the site study for the proposed Chambers Landfill. The Division hereby notifies Chambers
Development of North Carolina, Inc. that the site is suitable for development of a solid waste
management facility. Chambers Development of North Carolina, Inc. is authorized to prepare
an application for a permit to construct in accordance with the conditions of this letter.
SPECIFIC DISPOSAL AREA
Chambers may submit an application for Permit to Construct a Solid Waste Management
Facility in general accordance with the conceptual plan presented in the Site Plan application.
Upon review of the Design Hydrogeology Report, Location Restriction Demonstrations and
the Facility Plan, the Division will approve a specific disposal area. The approved disposal
area may be limited as a result of the review of this additional information.
PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT APPLICATION
The Permit to Construct Application shall be prepared in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B
.1617(a). The first five-year phase of landfill development shall be covered specifically in the
Engineering Plan. The permit to construct application shall also include the following
requirements for additional local government approvals, additional hydrogeologic investigation
and completion of location restriction demonstrations.

Additional Local Government Approvals:
Enclosed is a copy of North Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 130A-294(bl). This statute
requires that the applicant obtain a franchise for the operation of a sanitary landfill from each
local government having jurisdiction over any part of the land on which the landfill and
appurtenances are to be located. This franchise shall be included in the Permit to Construct
application.
This statute also requires that the applicant request a determination as to whether the local
government having jurisdiction over any part of the land on which the landfill and
appurtenances are to be located has in effect a franchise, zoning, subdivision, or land -use
planning ordinance applicable to the sanitary landfill and whether the proposed landfill would
be consistent with the applicable ordinances. This determination, in the form of a signed
affidavit as specified in the statute, shall be submitted to the Department.
Additional Hydrogeologic Investigation:
The permit to construct application shall include a Design Hydrogeology Report as required by •
Solid Waste Management Rule .1623(b). There are two items that will need special attention in
the Design Hydrogeology Report: (1) Additional information is needed to demonstrate that the
streams bordering the site are serving as groundwater discharge features; and (2) Further
investigation is needed to demonstrate that the diabase dikes are not serving as preferential
groundwater flow zones. Also, please refer to the attached memorandum from Bobby Lutfy
dated January 26, 1996, for a description of additional hydrogeologic investigation that shall
be included in the Design Hydrogeology Report.
Completion of Location Restriction Demonstrations:
Solid Waste Management Rule .1620(d)(2)(D) requires completion of any location restriction
demonstrations in accordance with Rule .1622. Specifically, Chambers Development of North
Carolina, Inc. shall complete location restriction demonstrations for .1622(5) Seismic Impact
Zones, (6) Unstable Areas, and (7) Cultural Resources. At a minimum, the Cultural
Resources demonstration shall include plans for data recovery and/or mitigation of sites
determined eligible and potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
Further investigation of impacted sites with undetermined eligibility shall also be addressed.
Written concurrence the Division of Cultural Resources shall be provided.
PERMITTING PROCEDURES
Solid Waste Management Rule .0201 requires the Division to issue a solid waste permit in two
parts. The first part is a Permit to Construct and the second part is a Permit to Operate. This

letter is not a permit. This letter only informs the applicant that they may proceed with their
permit application. The final action the Division may take on a permit application is the
issuance or denial of a permit.
If you have any questions or if you would like to schedule a meeting to discuss this letter,
please contact me at [phone], ext. 255.
Sincerely,
