(S+G) was retained by GFL Environmental, Inc. (GFL) to prepare an assessment report for the Warren County Transfer Station (NCDEQ Solid Waste Permit No. 93- 02T-Transfer-1995) 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. 1.1 Site Information Permit Number: 93-02T - Transfer-1995 Owner/Operator: Waste Industries, LLC (Subsidiary of GFL) Facility Address: 559 Baltimore Road Warrenton, North Carolina 27589 Operating Hours: 7am-4pm Mon -Fri Acceptable Waste: Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Facility Contact: Randy Deming Phone Number: (260) 579-1861 Email Address: randy.deminglagflenv.com 1.2 Documents Reviewed Documents reviewed in preparation of this assessment report are included in Table 1.

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 Warren County transfer station is a bi-level open air tipping floor. The facility's upper level includes an approximate 600 square foot access apron. Waste received is directly tipped into a hopper that directs waste to a compactor for loading transfer trailers. The lower level provides back in access for transfer trailer loading. 4.1 Tipping Floor poop 3L From* Photo ID: Condition: 16 Monitor Direction Photo Taken: East Observations: Overview of tipping area and compactor hopper.

At this time, any projects that were already planned to address any issues were identified. The following is a list of planned projects for 2021. 1. Repair concrete bumper at loading dock, add steel plate for additional protection, scheduled for 2021. (Photo ID 21) 6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS Overall, the Warren County Transfer Station was in good condition. One deficiency identified has already been scheduled for repair as noted in Section 5.0. Below is a list of additional items identified during the site inspection. • Replace sign at entrance to include the types of waste that can be accepted under the permit. Include operator onsite. • Monitor leachate collection drain below compactor on loading dock. Drain should be free of debris and clogging to promote positive drainage. • Add "Confined Space" signage to oil water separator manhole vicinity. • Monitor sewer lift station. Consider adding "Test" button and testing on a regular basis. • Monitor cracks and spalling on tipping floor. Floor may need to be addressed if damage persists (2-5 years). • Repair concrete bumper at loading dock, add steel plate for additional protection, scheduled for 2021. 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.

INTRODUCTION Purpose The purposes of this plan are: (1) to describe basic operations and provide general instructions to the operators of the Warren County Transfer Station and (2) to seek renewal of operations permits in accordance with NC Solid Waste Management Rules (State Rules) Section .0400 - TRANSFER FACILITIES. This plan will address Section .0402 - OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS of the State Rules. Background Information Warren County constructed a temporary Solid Waste Transfer Station in March of 1994 and began operation of the facility in April 1994 to allow for cessation of landfill operations on the same property. Closure of the landfill was dictated by the Resource and Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D Regulations. The transfer station became an integral part of the Warren County overall solid waste management strategy with the closing of the landfill. The Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Unit was closed prior to April 9, 1994, and the County arranged to have its solid waste transferred. The transfer station is located adjacent to the county's closed solid waste management facility on SR 1600 south of Warrenton at 559 Baltimore Road, Warrenton, North Carolina. Operational Arrangements The facility is owned by Warren County and (through an agreement) is operated by Waste Industries, Inc. Warren County ceased land -filling of municipal solid waste and now transfers all solid waste to the Brunswick Landfill in Brunswick County, Virginia and Upper Piedmont Regional Landfill located in North Carolina. The County's contract with Waste Industries is for operations for three (3) years and can be extended for additional one-year periods. Wastewater One of the requirements to operate the permanent facility is that the waste water generated at the facility be properly disposed of. Further, wash -down water is necessary to keep the facility in a sanitary condition. Sources of wastewater are (1) tipping floor and area wash -down, (2) drippings and squeezings from the trash compaction equipment and haul trailers, and (3) rain water that falls on the open area. By design, the area tributary to the wastewater facilities is minimized. Service Area and Destination of Waste The transfer station will serve all of Warren County and will not receive waste originating outside of the County except as may be permitted. The waste is transferred to the Brunswick County municipal solid waste lined landfill in Brunswick County, Virginia or Upper Piedmont Regional Landfill located in North Carolina for final disposal. Environmental Assessment An Environmental Assessment was submitted to the DSWM on October 21,1994. It was recommended that a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) be determined. 1 DocuSign Envelope ID: 3B7A4E76-7CDC-4F61-B48A-OB91BA5B5F62 II. COMPLIANCE WITH RULES Operations Plan and Procedures for Loading and Unloading Trailers The Transfer Station consists of a standby tipping floor and an adjacent tipping area where collection trucks discharge the waste into a chute to a compactor. Town, County, waste haulers, collection vehicles and private vehicles discharge solid waste into the chute. In the event of failure or maintenance of the compactor, the waste is placed on the standby tipping floor. The transfer trailer is located adjacent and below the tipping floor and loaded by a backhoe or other available equipment directly into the trailer. The total tractor -trailer weight is recorded at the existing full length scales before leaving the facility. The Operator utilizes hydraulic pump blade trailers to haul the average of 40 tons of waste per day it currently receives. The Transfer Station continues to operate in accordance with the approved Operations Plan and all Conditions of Permit specified in the NCDENR Solid Waste Section Transfer Facility Permit. No specific groundwater monitoring is required under section .0400 - Transfer Facilities of the NC Solid Waste Management Rules. Records are kept of weights discharged at the Transfer Station. Incoming waste is not stored on tipping floors. If needed, an open top container or haul trailer can be dropped behind the shop in a designated area and removed within 24 hours. Under no circumstances is waste stored or left on tipping floors overnight. During operation, dumped waste is deposited into the chute to the compactor which is hydraulically forced into a waiting haul truck. The facility is swept and washed down at the end of the operation each day. Grates and traps at drains are cleaned of solids before being washed down and the waste collected is disposed of properly. The wastewater pretreatment works onsite is inspected on a regular basis. The following items are checked and cleaned as needed: • Inspect Grit Collector: remove accumulated grit and dispose of properly in container for combining with waste to be hauled to the landfill. • Inspect Oil/ Water Separator: remove accumulated oil when Ievel is deep enough to enable removal and dispose of properly. • Inspect Pump Station operation. Receivable Waste The Transfer Station receives (municipal solid waste and commercial waste) an average 35 - 40 tons a day. The station does not accept hazardous or liquid waste, asbestos, or other waste not accepted at the final disposal facility unless a separate waste determination is made and applied for. The Transfer Station receives only the waste it is permitted to receive. For "special wastes" considered for acceptance and not specifically identified in the approved Operations Plan, permission for acceptance will be sought from NCDENR Solid Waste Section. An amendment to the Permit or a waste determination will be sought should conditions warrant. We do not accept barrels and drums unless they are empty and sufficiently perforated to ensure that no liquid or hazardous waste is contained therein. All loads are screened visually and at least one percent (1 %) are screened and documented for unapproved waste. Pa DocuSign Envelope ID: 3B7A4E76-7CDC-4F61-B48A-OB91BA5B5F62 Traffic Flow and Security Posted signage directs the traffic to the scale house when they enter the facility. From there, they are directed to the tipping floor and then back to the scales. The site is fenced in and the gate is locked at the end of each work day. Signage is located at the entrance and includes the hours, days of operation, permit number, business telephone and emergency telephone numbers and unapproved materials. Wastewater Disposal Runoff and wash water from the tipping floor and loading area is collected and piped to on -site pretreatment works, consisting of a grit collector, oil/water separator and a pump station. Wastewater is pumped to the Town of Warrentoris municipal wastewater treatment plant. The runoff generated from daily washing of the station and from rainwater does not exceed an average of 1200 gallons per day. Site runoff is diverted away from the tipping area. If a long term power outage is experienced, a certified waste hauler will be contracted to pump and haul liquids from the station to prevent overflow. Oil accumulation from the oil/water separator is minimal from a small operation like this, but if any significant accumulation occurs, we would contract with a used oil recycler (such as Noble Oil). Fire Control Fire fighting services are provided by the Warrenton Rural Fire Department. The Transfer Station is also equipped with a fire extinguisher for control of small fires. In case of a fire, the Warrenton Rural Fire Department is to be immediately contacted. All personnel at the facility are familiar with the use of the fire extinguisher. All fire extinguishers are inspected and serviced monthly in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. All fires are reported to the Solid Waste Section within 24 hours by telephone and written notification is provided within 15 days. Telephone numbers are included under contacts. Vector Control The station is swept and washed down and free of solid waste at the end of each day. Disinfectant is available if needed to perform this task. Full or partially filled haul trailers are left at the Transfer Station overnight but are covered and closed. The tipping floor is thoroughly swept and washed -down at the end of operation each day or as warranted. Any wastes that has an increased potential for attracting flies, rodents and other insect or vermin is disposed of in the transfer trailer as soon as possible. Solid waste is not stored on the tipping floor over -night. Equipment The transfer station utilizes the following equipment for the regular operation and maintenance: • Compactor/chute to load transfer trailers • Rubber -tired front end loader of tipped wastes from standby tipping floor • Transfer trailers • Scales for weighing incoming and transferred waste Control of Windblown Waste The tipping floor and loading areas are provided with a fence to mitigate windblown debris. Under normal operation, collection vehicles tip their waste directly onto the compactor chute thereby mitigating the potential for windblown waste. All tipped waste is contained in the immediate area and cleaned up at the end of each working day. 3 DocuSign Envelope ID: 3B7A4E76-7CDC-4F61-B48A-OB91BA5B5F62 All tipped waste will be directed to the chute feeding the compactor except upon failure or maintenance of the compaction equipment in which case, solid waste will be tipped on the standby tipping floor. In this case, a frontend loader will then be utilized to pickup and deposit waste in an open top haul trailer. The open top haul trailer will be provided with a cover. All waste that escapes the area shall be collected as soon as possible daily and disposed of properly. Personnel Requirements, Qualifications and Responsibilities Responsibility of the Company_: The Company shall assign qualified personnel to manage and operate the collection and transportation system. The Company agrees that all employees will be required to wear clean uniforms that display the name of the Company and identify the individual as an employee of the Company. Each employee will carry a valid operator's license for the type of vehicle such employee is required to operate. The Company shall provide operation and safety training for all operational personnel. ResponsibiliV of the County: The County shall be responsible for the landscaping, fencing, construction and repairs to the collection sites and the Transfer Station. The County will ensure that such facilities are now, and will remain in full compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation, maintenance of all required permits. The County's Solid Waste staff consists of five county employees and one Waste Industries employee.

The station produces approximately thirty-five (35) tons per day with a disposal rate of Sixty -Two Dollars and Sixty -Seven Cents ($62.67) per ton, For a week's worth of operations, the cost analyses would break down as follows: 35 tons per day x 5 days = 175 tons weekly 175 tons x $62.67 per ton hauling = $10,967.25 5 days at $3,500.00 per day for clean-up = $17,500.00 It would take less than Thirty-five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00) to remove, clean-up and dispose of a weeks worth of waste. Also, as of July 1, 2011, Solid Waste had a Fund Balance of $325,617.00 which is more then enough to cover a week's worth of clean-up.
