will also be implemented.
1.8 SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS
Unusual weather conditions can directly affect the operation of the facility. Some of these
weather conditions and recommended operational responses are as follows.
1.8.1 Ice Storms
An ice storm can make access to the facility dangerous, prevent movement and, thus, may
require closure of the facility until the ice is removed or has melted.
1.8.2 Heavy Rains
Exposed soil surfaces can create a muddy situation in some portions of the facility during
rainy periods. The control of drainage and use of crushed stone on unpaved roads should
provide all-weather access for the site and promote drainage away from critical areas. In
areas where the aggregate surface is washed away or otherwise damaged, new aggregate
should be used for repair.
Intense rains can affect leachate managements systems. The system at the Black Creek
Road Transfer Facility utilizes a pump station with alarm which transfers leachate from an
oil -grit -water separator to the sanitary sewer system. Alarm is visual and audible. Upon
indication of a failure employees shall contact management for immediate repair of
system.
1.8.3 Electrical Storms
The open areas of the facility are susceptible to the hazards of an electrical storm. If

station operations. Each facility employee responsible for recognizing prohibited waste shall be a
Certified Transfer Station Operations Specialist through NC SWANA or go through an annual
training course (led by supervisory staff) to ensure they are capable of recognizing loads which
may contain prohibited wastes.
1.11 HEALTH AND SAFETY
This is a general plan and presents minimal information. The operator, Waste Industries, LLC, is
responsible for site safety. The health and safety plan prepared and implemented by Waste
Industries, LLC supersedes the contents of this general plan.
All aspects of the transfer station operations were developed with the health and safety of the
operating staff and neighbors in mind. Prior to commencement of operations of the facility, a
member of the operating staff will be designated site safety officer. This individual, together with
the facility's management, will modify the site safety and emergency response program to remain
consistent with National Solid Waste Management Association and Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) guidance.
Safety equipment provided includes equipment rollover protective cabs, seat belts, audible reverse

SECTION 2
WASTE HANDLING OPERATIONS
2.1 OVERVIEW
This section describes the required waste handling operations for the Black Creek Transfer
Station. The solid waste processed through the Transfer Station is a portion of the Municipal
Solid Waste (MSW) stream generated within Duplin, Edgecombe, Franklin, Green, Halifax,
Johnston, Lenoir, Martin, Nash, Northampton, Pitt, Wake, Wayne, and Wilson Counties.
2.2 ACCEPTABLE WASTES
Only the waste as defined by NCGS 130A-290(a)(I8a) and NCGS 130A-290(a)(24) may be
received at the MSW transfer station. Employees are trained to recognize unacceptable and
hazardous materials and to properly segregate and dispose of them.
2.3 PROHIBITED WASTES
Only wastes as defined in Section 2.2 above may be accepted in the transfer station. No other
wastes may be accepted including the following wastes:
• Whole Scrap Tires
• Used Oil
• White Goods
• Lead Acid Batteries
• Yard Waste
• Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D)
• Discarded computer equipment
• Oyster Shells
• Plastic beverage containers (Except as recovered material)
• Aluminum Cans (Except as recovered material)
• Pallets (Except as recovered material)
• Cardboard (Except as recovered material)
In addition, operating criteria prohibit other materials from receipt within the transfer station.
These materials include:
Hazardous waste as defined by NCGS 130A-290(a)(8), including hazardous waste
from conditionally exempt small quantity generators.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) wastes as defined in 40 CFR 761 with the
exception of trace amounts found in materials such as consumer electronics.
Bulk or non -containerized liquid wastes unless the waste is household waste other
than septic waste and waste oil; or the waste is leachate or gas condensate derived
from the MSW landfill unit. A liquid determination will be performed by the paint
Black Creek Road Transfer Station Operations Manual
March 201S Page 2-1

filter test (see Appendix A for apparatus and procedure).
• Containers holding liquid wastes unless the waste is household waste.
2.4 PROHIBITION OF OPEN BURNING
Open burning of waste is prohibited at the transfer station.
2.5 WASTE SCREENING PROGRAMS
2.5.1 Trained Personnel
In order to assure that prohibited wastes are not entering the facility, screening programs
have been implemented. Trained personnel will be on duty during all hours of operation.
These individuals have been trained to spot indications of suspicious wastes, including:
hazardous placarding or markings, liquid, powder or dust, sludge, bright or unusual colors,
drums or commercial size containers, and "chemical" odors. Screening programs for
visual and olfactory characteristics of prohibited wastes are an ongoing part of the facility
operation.
2.5.2 Waste Receiving and Inspection
All vehicles must stop at the scale house located in proximity to the entrance of the facility
and visitors are required to sign -in. All waste transportation vehicles are weighed and the
content of the load assessed. The scale attendant(s) requests from the driver of the vehicle
a description of the waste it is carrying to ensure that unacceptable waste is not allowed
into the facility. The attendant(s) then visually check the vehicle as it crosses the scale.
Signs informing users of the acceptable and unacceptable types of waste are posted at the
entrance. Once passing the scales, the vehicles are routed to the appropriate area of the
Transfer Station.
Vehicles will be randomly selected for screening on a regular basis, depending on
personnel availability. At least one vehicle per week will be randomly selected by
inspection personnel. A random truck number and time will be selected (e.g., the tenth
load after 10 AM) on the day of inspections. However, in the event that suspicious
materials are spotted in any waste load, that load will be inspected further.
Vehicles selected for inspection are to be directed to an area on the tipping floor where the
vehicle will be unloaded. Waste is carefully spread using suitable equipment. An
attendant trained to identify wastes that are unacceptable inspects the waste discharged at
the screening area. If unacceptable waste is found, the load shall be isolated and reloaded.
The generator/hauler will be logged and escorted out of the facility. The Owner will then
notify officials of the DWM (see Section 1.2.2) within 24 hours of attempted disposal of
any waste the facility is not permitted to receive to determine the proper course of action.
The hauler is responsible for removing unacceptable waste from the facility property.
Black Creek Road Transfer Station Operations Manual
May 2020 Page 2-2

If no unacceptable waste is found, MSW loads will be pushed into a transfer trailer and/or
equipment. Recovered material/recyclable loads shall be maintained in a separate section
of the transfer station temporarily holding recyclables until all MSW has been cleared from
the tipping floor. Recyclables shall be loaded into a recovered materials transfer trailer
and/or equipment as necessary between MSW Loads or once per week to facilitate floor
cleaning if remaining segregated from MSW. All random waste inspections will be
documented by operations staff using the waste screening form provided in Appendix B.
In addition to random waste screening described above, waste unloaded on the tipping
floor will be inspected by the equipment operators, trained to spot unacceptable wastes,
before and during pushing into the transfer trailers. Any suspicious looking waste is
reported immediately to the designated primary inspector for further evaluation.
2.6 FACILITY OPERATIONS
2.6.1 Operating Capacity
The Daily tonnage rate is subject to change due to fluctuations in the amount of waste
delivered to the facility on any given day and seasonal fluctuations. The transfer station
has been designed to handle a maximum average tonnage rate of 1,000 tons per day.
2.6.2 Service Area
The solid waste processed through the Transfer Station is a portion of the waste stream
generated within Duplin, Edgecombe, Franklin, Green, Halifax, Johnston, Lenoir, Martin,
Nash, Northampton, Pitt, Wake, Wayne and Wilson Counties.

2.7 TRANSFER OPERATIONS
2.7.1 Access
Traffic will be clearly directed to the appropriate area of the Transfer Station. Traffic
speed on the site should be less than 10 MPH. Rutting of gravel roadway surfaces must be
repaired by placement of additional gravel on the roadway and not solely by grading the
rut. This will maintain the separator geotextile placed below most gravel roadway
surfaces.
2.7.2 General Procedures
The transfer operations will be conducted in accordance with the approved Operations
Manual and conditions of the Solid Waste Permit issued by the North Carolina Division of
Solid Waste Management (DWM).
Facility operations are anticipated as follows:
1. Collection vehicles delivering waste to the facility will enter through the entrance on
Black Creek Road. At no time will vehicles be allowed to queue onto public highways.
2. Pass through the scales and scale house for weight;
3. Continue along the access road until reaching the transfer station entrance where there
is ample room to maneuver vehicle for backing into bay assigned by attendant or
equipment operator.
4. The tipping floor has a "push" wall running along one side of the interior of the
building and at loading pit. A loader will lift the waste over the wall into an open -top
transfer trailer in a pit accessible by entrance ramp from front of building through bay
2. The transfer trailers are backed into pit until filled. Once filled to capacity they are
relocated to staging area visible on site plan (Map 2).
5. The vehicles will back onto the tipping floor to an area designated by site personnel.
Collection vehicles carrying recyclable materials shall be directed to bay 1 which is
separated from MSW by loading pit which divides the tipping floor. MSW loads are
directed to bay 3 or 4.
Black Creek Road Transfer Station Operations Manual
May 2020 Page 2-5

6. Once a vehicle is in position, waste load will be discharged directly onto tipping floor.
7. A spotter will inspect the discharged material before it is mixed with other material on
the tipping floor.
8. MSW is pushed by a rubber -tired loader into the open top transfer trailers, specifically
designed for hauling MSW, located in guarded loading pit. MSW shall be cleared
from floor daily.
9. At Waste Industries discretion, or as may be required by law, the following recyclable
materials will be separated and placed in a temporary recovered materials pile:
aluminum and plastic beverage containers, pallets, and cardboard.
10. Recyclable/recovered materials shall remain in a segregated section of the tipping
floor. All recyclable/recovered materials shall be removed from floor, at a minimum,
weekly and area washed clean.
11. All recyclable/recovered material trailers shall be covered and temporarily stored for
transport to a recycle center specified in section 2.6.3.
12. All MSW waste will stay in the covered area of the transfer station. The trailers will
be moved after they are loaded and will await transport to the Sampson County
Landfill, owned and operated by Waste Industries, or alternate facility.
13. Waste can be stored in covered transfer trailers at the facility after hours, but no longer
than 48 hours. The 48-hour limit does not apply to recovered recyclable materials.
14. Personnel shall continuously monitor trailers provided for hauling to ensure they
remain leak resistant. Leachate leaks shall be immediately reported and remediated.
Trailer responsible for leakage shall be reported to provider for repairs.

SECTION 3
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
3.1 OVERVIEW
This section reviews the overall environmental management tasks required for the successful
operation of the facility.
3.2 SURFACE WATER CONTROL
As used herein, the definition of "surface water" is water which results from precipitation or site
run-on that has not contacted the waste.
Proper control of surface water at the transfer area will accomplish the following goals:
Prevent the run-on of surface water into waste handling area(s);
Prevent the run-off of surface water that has come into contact with the waste (i.e.
leachate);
Limit the erosion caused by surface waters; and
Limit sediments carried off -site by surface waters.
3.2.1 Erosion Control
Erosion control measures have been taken within the drainage channels and at points of
stormwater discharge. All site features should be inspected regularly for erosion damage
and promptly repaired.
3.2.2 Sedimentation Control
Stormwater run-off from the site is conveyed to an on -site basin. The basin should be
inspected regularly for sediment build-up, floatables, and erosion damage. The basin
should be cleaned out when sediment or vegetation becomes excessive clogging outflow or
reducing capacity by 50%.
3.3 LEACHATE MANAGEMENT
The leachate management system for the transfer station consists of the concrete tipping floor,
collection grates and leachate transmission piping, oil -grit -water separator, pumps, valve boxes,
valves, and a direct connection to the City of Wilson sanitary sewer system.
3.3.1 Leachate Collection
Leachate handling system includes trench drains for collection of leachate and
washwater. Drains are located along entrances to tipping floor. In addition, a

sump is located in the transfer pit for the collection of any liquids which may
accumulate during normal operations. Washwater/leachate is discharged into
sewer line located along northern property boundary after being routed through the
oil -grit -water separator and a lift station. Oil -grit -water separator is services
quarterly by noble oil, 5617 Clyde Rhyne Drive, Sanford, NC. Lift station is
armed with an audible and visual alarm to alert employees of a malfunction.
3.3.2 Operation and Maintenance of Leachate Pumps
Operation and maintenance of leachate pumps shall be in accordance with the
appropriate manufacturer's recommendations. The facility manager or their
designee shall be responsible for following and documenting, as required, these
activities. Employees shall notify manager immediately if lift station alarm
sounds.
3.4 VECTOR CONTROL
Waste Industries shall provide effective vector control measures for the protection of human
health. Disease vectors are any rodent, insect, or other animal capable of transmitting disease to
humans. Disease vectors will be controlled by implementation of a daily cleaning program
including segregation of recyclables and removal of waste, leachate, and wash water from the
operations area. Waste Industries shall use wash water to keep the tipping floor and drive-thru
areas clean and free of rodents, flies, and other animals. Stagnant ponded water will be prevented
to control mosquito breeding. Full or partially filled transfer trailers will be covered if left on site
overnight. MSW will not be stored on the tipping floor overnight. If vector control becomes a
problem, additional measures will be taken to ensure the protection of human health.
3.5 ODOR CONTROL
Odorous or potentially odorous materials will be pushed into a transfer truck and covered as soon
as possible to avoid odor problems. Additionally, the transfer areas will be cleaned and swept
daily and washed down weekly, at a minimum. If odor control becomes a problem, additional
measures will be taken to ensure odor control.
3.6 DUST CONTROL
Dust related to waste hauler traffic on the access roads will be minimized by using a sprinkler
system to limit dust on the gravel portion of the lot if necessary. High traffic areas are paved.
3.7 WINDBLOWN WASTE CONTROL
All incoming vehicles with waste are required to have their loads covered upon arrival at the site or
be fully enclosed. Outbound transfer trailers are also required to be covered. On a daily basis,
site personnel will police the site for windblown litter. Since the transfer station is enclosed on
three sides with limited access at entrances, windblown waste should not be a major concern. If
needed, litter fences will be installed to intercept windblown waste.

Appendix A
EPA Method 9095
Paint Filter Liquids Test

METHOD 9095B
PAINT FILTER LIQUIDS TEST
1.0 SCOPE AND APPLICATION
1.1 This method is used to determine the presence of free liquids in a representative
sample of waste.
1.2 The method is used to determine compliance with 40 CFR 264.314 and 265.314.
2.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD
2.1 A predetermined amount of material is placed in a paint filter. If any portion of the
material passes through and drops from the filter within the 5-min test period, the material is
deemed to contain free liquids.
3.0 INTERFERENCES
3.1 Filter media were observed to separate from the filter cone on exposure to alkaline
materials. This development causes no problem if the sample is not disturbed.
3.2 Temperature can affect the test results if the test is performed below the freezing
point of any liquid in the sample. Tests must be performed above the freezing point and can,
but are not required to, exceed room temperature of 25 °C.
4.0 APPARATUS AND MATERIALS
4.1 Conical paint filter -- Mesh number 60 +/- 5% (fine meshed size). Available at local
paint stores such as Sherwin-Williams and Glidden.
4.2 Glass funnel -- If the paint filter, with the waste, cannot sustain its weight on the
ring stand, then a fluted glass funnel or glass funnel with a mouth large enough to allow at least
1 in. of the filter mesh to protrude should be used to support the filter. The funnel should be
fluted or have a large open mouth in order to support the paint filter yet not interfere with the
movement, to the graduated cylinder, of the liquid that passes through the filter mesh.
4.3 Ring stand and ring, or tripod.
4.4 Graduated cylinder or beaker -- 100-mL.
5.0 REAGENTS
5.1 None.
9095B - 1 Revision 2
November 2004

6.0 SAMPLE COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, AND HANDLING
A 100-mL or 100-g representative sample is required for the test. If it is not possible to
obtain a sample of 100 mL or 100 g that is sufficiently representative of the waste, the analyst
may use larger size samples in multiples of 100 mL or 100 g, i.e., 200, 300, 400 mL or g.
However, when larger samples are used, analysts shall divide the sample into 100-mL or 100-g
portions and test each portion separately. If any portion contains free liquids, the entire sample
is considered to have free liquids. If the sample is measured volumetrically, then it should lack
major air spaces or voids.
7.0 PROCEDURE
7.1 Assemble test apparatus as shown in Figure 1.
7.2 Place sample in the filter. A funnel may be used to provide support for the paint
filter. If the sample is of such light bulk density that it overflows the filter, then the sides of the
filter can be extended upward by taping filter paper to the inside of the filter and above the
mesh. Settling the sample into the paint filter may be facilitated by lightly tapping the side of the
filter as it is being filled.
7.3 In order to assure uniformity and standardization of the test, material such as
sorbent pads or pillows which do not conform to the shape of the paint filter should be cut into
small pieces and poured into the filter. Sample size reduction may be accomplished by cutting
the sorbent material with scissors, shears, a knife, or other such device so as to preserve as
much of the original integrity of the sorbent fabric as possible. Sorbents enclosed in a fabric
should be mixed with the resultant fabric pieces. The particles to be tested should be reduced
smaller than 1 cm (i.e., should be capable of passing through a 9.5 mm (0.375 inch) standard
sieve). Grinding sorbent materials should be avoided as this may destroy the integrity of the
sorbent and produce many "fine particles" which would normally not be present.
7.4 For brittle materials larger than 1 cm that do not conform to the filter, light crushing
to reduce oversize particles is acceptable if it is not practical to cut the material. Materials such
as clay, silica gel, and some polymers may fall into this category.
7.5 Allow sample to drain for 5 min into the graduated cylinder.
7.6 If any portion of the test material collects in the graduated cylinder in the 5-min
period, then the material is deemed to contain free liquids for purposes of 40 CFR 264.314 and
265.314.
8.0 QUALITY CONTROL
8.1 Duplicate samples should be analyzed on a routine basis.
9.0 METHOD PERFORMANCE
9.1 No data provided.
10.0 REFERENCES
10.1 None provided.
