1.0 OVERVIEW
Smith Gardner, Inc. (S+G) was retained by GFL Environmental, Inc. (GFL) to prepare an
assessment report for the Black Creek Road Transfer Station (NCDEQ Solid Waste Permit No.
98-08T-Transfer-2000) in accordance with recently adopted Solid Waste Rules.
This report was prepared in response to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0401(b), which requires a
licensed professional engineer or geologist to perform an assessment of the condition of
buildings (if any), access roads, parking, and leachate collection systems of the current
operations compared to the Rule. S+G's review was limited to the facility's conformance with
the documents identified in Section 1.2 and did not include a review of Operating Records and
Recordkeeping requirements.
This report addresses each rule through photo documentation noting if action is necessary Ae.,
no action, monitor, or action required], photo location, and observations made. Unless
otherwise noted, items identified for monitor or action required do not impose an immediate
threat to the safety or integrity of the facility or the controls in place. Rather, they point out
deficiencies, where, if no action is taken, additional damage may have a significant impact on
facility operations and the surrounding environment. S+G "s recommendations included at the
end of the report are based on the photo documentation and observations provided.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 5D294053-4459-45CD-A339-5589143E8E08
6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Overall, the Black Creek Road Transfer Station was in good condition. One deficiency identified
has already been scheduled for repair as noted in Section 5. Below is a list of action items
identified during the site inspection.
• Monitor surface cracks on concrete apron in front of transfer station tipping floor. If
damaged areas worsen the apron may need to be repaired within five (5) years.
• Replace sign at entrance to include acceptable waste identified within the permit.
• Monitor leachate collection system to ensure drains are free of debris and/or clogs, and
free flowing. Clogged drain was resolved during inspection.
• Monitor tipping floor for surface and joint wear.
• Monitor siding panels for additional damage. Repairs to the damaged section on the
south wall have begun.
7.o ENGINEER'S CERTIFICATION
Based on the observations as documented herein, and in accordance with the requirements of
15A NCAC 13B .0401(b), it is our professional opinion that the transfer station as observed
meets the requirements of the Rule with the exception of the items included in Section 6.0.

• 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, Iiquid, powder or dust, sludge, bright or unusual colors,
drums or commercial size containers, and "chernical" 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
A11 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 detennine the proper course of action.
The hauler is responsible for removing unacceptable waste from the facility property.

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.

2.7 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 t0 MPH. Rutting of grave 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 plans (Map 2).
The vehicles will back onto the tipping floor to an area designated by site personnel.

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 nun -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 cuff --site by surface waters.
3.2.1 Erosion Control
Erasion control measures have been taken within the drainage channels and at points of
stonnwater 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 Leaehate Collection
Leachate handling system includes trench drains for collection of leachate and
washwater. Drains are located along entrances to tipping floor. In addition, a
Slack Creek Road Transfer Station Operations Manual
May 202O Page 3-1

DocuSign Envelope ID: 5D294053-4459-45CD-A339-5589143E8E08
sump is located in the transfer pit for the collection of any liquids which may
accumulate during normal operations. Washwaterlleachate is discharged into
sewer line located along norther property boundary after being routed through the
oil -grit -water separator and a lift station. Oil -grit -water separator is sen ices
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.

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.

4.1 Conical paint filter -- Mesh number 60 +1- 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 leapt
1 in. of the filter mesh to protrude should be used to support the filter. The funnel should, b
fluted or have a large open mouth in order to support the paint filter yet not interfere with tF;L-
movement, to the graduated cylinder, of the liquid that passes through the filter mesh.

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.
