1.0 OVERVIEW
Smith Gardner, Inc. (S+G) was retained by GFL Environmental, Inc. (GFL) to prepare an
assessment report for the Vance County Transfer Station (NCDEQ Solid Waste Permit No. 91-
02T-Transfer-1997) 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.

4.0 BUILDINGS
Observations made during the on -site inspection related to buildings are described below and
correlated to a representative photo. Photograph locations were georeferenced using ArcGIS
and are included on Figure 1.
15A NCAC 13B. 0403 fblf IJ and 0 Sites shall be designed and constructed so that all solid waste
receiving, handling, transfer, and storage occurs on an impervious surface, such as concrete or
asphalt, unless otherwise stated in the site permit. Tipping floors shall be located within an
enclosed building or covered area to prevent precipitation from coming into contact with waste,
and all waste shall be managed on the tipping floors unless otherwise stated in the site permit.
For the purpose of the rules of this Section, "tipping floor" means the area where waste is
offloaded from residential or commercial vehicles, and staged and consolidated for transport to
its intended disposal location.
The Vance County transfer station is a bi-level prefabricated metal building. The building's upper
level includes an approximate 3,000 square foot tipping floor, with push walls along the interior
sides that are used to direct waste to feed hoppers for loading transfer trailers. The lower level
is a drive through access for transfer trailer loading.

• Replace/update entrance sign to include acceptable waste types approved by the permit
(scheduled for 2021).
• Monitor "pump and haul" activities for leaks and spills.
• Monitor tipping floor wear and cracks and joints. Tipping floor may need to be replaced
in approximately 5 years if damage worsens.
• Repair damaged push walls, which include missing steel plate and concrete damage on
North wall, damaged steel plate on South wall.
• Monitor South wall building panels and column, repair if damage persists.
• Monitor pit and cantilevered edge of tipping floor. Cantilevered edge may need to be

from the MSW landfill unit. A liquid determination will be performed by the paint
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, liquids, powders or dusts, sludges, 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 carrying waste or recovered materials must stop at the scale located along the
access road to transfer station. All transportation vehicles are weighed prior to dumping.
Municipal solid waste (MSW) and recycle load tickets are maintained separately. The scale
attendant(s) requests frorn the driver of the vehicle a description of the waste it is carrying
to ensure that unacceptable waste is not allowed into the facility. Signs informing users of
the acceptable and unacceptable types of waste are posted at the scale house. Upon
leaving the scales, collection vehicles are routed to the transfer area.
Vehicles are 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
10:00 a.m.) on the day of inspections. However, if something suspicious is spotted in any
waste load, that load is inspected further.
Vehicles selected for inspection are 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 will be isolated, reloaded.
The generatorlhauler shall then be logged and escorted out of the facility. For
unacceptable wastes that are non -hazardous, the Owner will then notify officials of the
DWM (see Section 1.2.3) within 24 hours of attempted disposal of any waste the facility is
not permitted to receive in order to determine 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 of a cantilever edge into a

transfer trailer. 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 trailers. Any suspicious looking waste is reported
immediately to the designated primary inspector for further evaluation. Facility operators
are also trained to recognize hot loads. If a hot load is discovered upon approach to
facility local fire department shall be notified and the vehicle operator shall be directed to
position vehicle on gravel lot 50 feet or more away from loaded transfer trailers and
building for firefighting.

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
Erosion 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 through grasslriprap lined drainage ditches
to an unnamed branch of Crooked Run. Grass and riprap lined slopes and ditches slow
flow and minimize sediment levels leaving property.
3.3 LEACHATE MANAGEMENT
The leachate management system for the transfer station consists of the concrete tipping floor.
collection inlets, leachate transmission piping, pumps, and an underground storage tank. Transfer
station loading areas are designed to contain and direct leachate to collection system. Waste
water in UST shall be monitored weekly and recorded. When water reaches 18 inches from
maximum capacity water shall be pumped and hauled to an authorized wastewater treatment
facility.
Vance County Transfer Station Operations Manual
May 202O Page 3-1

DocuSign Envelope ID: 31B184ED-6EA2-48E5-92A6-D3Al7334OA76
Wastewater treatment facilities available:
• HOH Corporation, 1701 Vargrave Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27107
• City of Oxford Wastewater Treatment, 1649 New Commerce Dr., Oxford, NC 27565
• City of Henderson Water Reclamation Facility, 1646 W. Andrews Ave.. Henderson, NC 27536
3.3.1 Leachate Collection
The tipping floor exit is protected by a berm which prevents leachate from leaving
facility, Leachate fi'nxn the tipping floor is collected by drains. Primary
collection drain is located in loading pit. Other leachate containment includes
drain at front east side (near entrance) and rear west side of transfer station pit. All
drain to an underground storage tank (UST). Tank shall be pumped and hauled
before reaching maximum capacity. Maximum capacity before pumping is 18
inches from top of tank.
Waste water containment and general facility condition shall be verified through
use of a weekly check list. All discrepancies shall be reported to facility
supervisor who shall enter corrective action on list as necessary. Completed check
lists shall be maintained at facility. Any product, which escapes or is spilled
outside containment tanks or concrete structures, will be immediately diked using
absorbent booms, soil, straw bales or other material to prevent contamination of
waterways. Contaminated soil and materials shall be removed and disposed of in
accordance with all applicable regulations.
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 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. Waste 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. Direct feed of method utilized to aid transfer of MSW results in very little waste on floor
and reduced dust accumulation on walls. Floors, walls and beams will be washed dawn biannual
or as needed to prohibit nuisance conditions. If odor control becomes a problem, additional
measures will be taken to ensure odor control.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 31B184ED-6EA2-48E5-92A6-D3Al7334OA76
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 road when necessary. Buildup of dust in facility
is minimized through the use of two large ventilation fans.
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, windblown waste should not be a major concern.

Paint Filter Liquids Test

DocuSign Envelope ID: 31B184ED-6EA2-48E5-92A6-D3A173340A76
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 +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.
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

DocuSign Envelope ID: 31B184ED-6EA2-48E5-92A6-D3A173340A76
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.
