The landfill facility includes an active construction and demolition debris (C&D) landfill, scales and scale house facilities, administrative offices, a maintenance building, a white goods, scrap metal, and tire handling area, a citizen's convenience center, and a recycling building. The facility also has one closed MSW landfill unit (NC Solid Waste Permit No. 9801-MSWLF-1990) which is maintained by the County. Wilson County currently operates Area 1 which is expected to be depleted of permitted volume in mid to late 2021. Once Area 1 has reached capacity, the County will need to expand laterally into the proposed 32.9 acre Area 2 landfill unit (see Figure 1). NCDEQ requires the evaluation of certain demographic information for a new C&D landfill Located within 1-mile of an existing C&D landfill. This report provides socio-economic and demographic information regarding the area immediately surrounding the proposed site along with a comparison of Census -tract, County and Statewide data. 2.0 FACILITY INFORMATION The proposed Westside Area 2 C&D landfill is an expansion of an existing landfill facility. This facility also houses a closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, a closed C&D landfill, an active C&D landfill, a transfer station and recycling/convenience center. The area surrounding the landfill is primarily farmland. There is some industrial development to the west of the proposed Westside Area 2 C&D landfill, and limited residential development to the west and east. Across Toisnot Swamp to the south there is additional residential development adjacent to the Happy Valley Country Club/Golf Course. The approximate site location with the 1-mile radius is shown on Figure 1, on the following page.

Estimates for each element were taken from currently available census data' and utilizing the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Environmental Justice tool (EJScreen)2 for evaluation of the 1-mile radius. 3.1 Race and Ethnici U.S. Census Bureau estimates for race and ethnicity are shown on Figure 2 and Table 1 on the following pages for North Carolina, Wilson County, Census Tract 7, and the area (I-mileradius) surrounding the proposed Area 2 expanson. Those who identify as Black or African American were more than 10% above the State, County, Census Tract and City averages. All other percentages within the 1-mile radius were similar to Census Tract, County and State percentages.

Scattered houses and businesses exist along the main roads, but most of the nearby residential development is located on Buck Branch Road, Heather Court, Landfill Road and Banks Lane East. Additional residential development is located across Toisnot Swamp in the Glenwood Hills subdivision. In addition to residences, other sensitive receptors for landfill facilities include, but are not limited to, hospitals, schools, daycare facilities, elderly housing and convalescent facilities. None of these were noted within a 1-mile buffer of the site. 5.0 LOCAL AREA LAN OFILLAN0INOUSTRIALSITES Some of the local area around the Westside Area 2 C&D Landfill facility is designated for industrial use and, thus, includes other active and closed landfills and industrial sites. The 1- mile radius around the site is primarily farmland, or the C&D facility itself, with the exception of industrial and residential development to the west and limited residential development to the north/east of the facility. A review of Google Maps indicated a number of existing and former landiflls and industrial sites within the immediately surrounding area (1-mile radius). These sites include, but are not limited to: • Wilson County C&D Landfill; • Wilson County Closed MSW Landfill; • Wilson County Recycle/Transfer Station; • Wilson County Maintenace Facility; • Wilson County Yard Waste, Compost and Mulch Processing Area; • Wilson Mold and Machine, Inc.' • Fulford and Jones Asphalt Plant; • O'Brian Tarping Systems; • Wilson County Recycle/Transfer Station; and • Pridgen Farms. 6.0 POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Potential impacts to the local area during the expansion and operation of the Westside Area 2 C&D Landfill include potential environmental impacts. These potential impacts and mitigation measures are summarized below. 6.1 Traffic Traffic related to the proposed facility expansion will be similar to current site operations. Wilson County Westside CSD Landfill Socio-Economic Study December2020 Page12 DocuSign Envelope ID: 6C27CF86-F377-4113-8508-724E9B78C446 6.2 Potential Releases to the Environment The following is a review of measures required to prevent potential releases into the environment at the facility. 6.2.1 Final Cover System Once the landfill reaches its capacity, a final cover system is required. This final cover system prevents contact with the waste mass and, in conjuction with landfill gas (LFG) collection components also aids the control of LFG and odors. Also, once Area 1 is full, that portion of the site will be closed with a low - permeability cover. 6.2.2 Erosion and Sedimentation Control An approved erosion and sedimentation control plan is required for construction and operation of the landfill facility. This plan includes several existing sediment basins. In addition, the site is routinely inspected to ensure that storm water conveyance features remain intact and erosion is repaired in a timely manner. 6.2.3 Monitoring Programs On -going monitoring programs at the site include water quality monitoring, landfill gas monitoring, and storm water (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)) monitoring. These programs are intended to minimize the potential for an undetected release to the environment. 7.0 FINDINGS As described herein, the findings of this study are as follows: Socioeconomic and demographic data for the Wilson County, Census Tract 7, and the area (1-mile radius) immediately surrounding the proposed Westside Area 2 C&D Landfill were evaluated and existing landfill and industrial sites considered to determine if any disproportionately high or adverse impact on minority or low-income populations. Although the area and Census Tract do indicate high populations of minorities, and individuals who fall below the poverty line, the site has been utilized as a landfill facility for decades. Potential impacts and mitigation measures were reviewed. While the proposed expansion does increase the footprint of the C&D landfill, there are suitable measures which are or will be in place to monitor and, if necessary, address potential impacts.
