1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Westside C&D Landfill facility is located near Wilson, North Carolina and is owned and
operated by Wilson County (County) under NC Solid Waste Permit No. 9809-CDLF. 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.

3.0 REVIEW OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
The following socio-economic and demographic elements were evaluated for the area
immediately surrounding the Westside Landfill site (taken as a 1-mile radius from the
approximate center of the site) (see Figure 31 and compared with the intermediate and greater
surrounding areas (taken as Census Tract 7 and Wilson County , respectively):
• Race and Ethnicity (Section 3.1);
• Age and Sex (Section 3.21;
• Poverty (Section 3.3); and
• Limited English Proficiency (Section 3.4).
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.

Explanation of Symbols,An "**"entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no, or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error.
An "-" entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated becaus
or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution, or the margin of error associated with a median was largerthan the median itself
An "-" following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution An "+" following a median estimate means the median falls in upper interval of open-ended
An "***" entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.
An '* *` entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate. An "N" entry in the estimate and margin of error calurr
indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.An "(XI" means that the estimate is not applicable or not available,

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6C27CF86-F377-4113-8508-724E9B78C446
4.0 LOCAL AREA RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER SENSITIVE RECEPTORS
Development around the Westside Area 2 C&D Landfill consists of mixed farmland residential,
commercial and industrial use. 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.

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.
