OPERATIONS PLAN
SMALL TYPE 2 COMPOSTING FACILITY
WHITE OAK LANDFILL
HAYWOOD COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
October 2008
1. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose of Plan
This operations plan has been developed for the proposed Small Type 2
Composting Facility located at the White Oak Landfill in Haywood County,
North Carolina. This plan has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health,
and Natural Resources (DENR), . Division of Solid Waste Management,
Solid Waste Rules (15A NCAC 13B).
The purpose of this plan is to provide the owner and operator with a
reference manual that includes necessary information, procedures, and
applicable rules for properly operating the Composting Facility. All
personnel involved with the management or supervision of operations at the
facility will be required to review the Operations Plan and to maintain the
facility in conformance with applicable requirements. A copy of the
Operations Plan will be kept in the vicinity of the Composting Site at all
times.
B. Facility Location
The Small Type 2 Composting Facility is located at the White Oak Landfill
at 3898 Fines Creek Road, Waynesville, North Carolina 28785 and is
operated by Haywood County.
C. Service Area
The Composting Facility will provide service for all of Haywood County.
II. SITING REQUIREMENTS
The proposed composting facility site is located south of the Phase 2 MSW
cell and east of the Phase 1 Construction & Demolition cell. The location
of the composting facility is illustrated on Figures 1 and 2 of the plans.
Siting requirements are shown on the plans as well as described as follows:

1) The proposed Composting Facility is not located in the 100-year flood
plain.
2) A 200-foot buffer is maintained between the composting facility and
all residences.
3) A 100-foot buffer is maintained between the compositing facility and
water supply wells.
4) A 50-foot buffer is maintained between all property lines and the
composting facility.
5) A 25-foot minimum distance between compost areas and swales or
berms will be maintained in order to allow for adequate access of fire-
fighting equipment.
6) Haywood County has no zoning requirements for the composting site
property.
7) Diversion beans and drainage ditches are designed to ensure that there
will be no standing water in the composting area and there will be no
off -site drainage problems and also to divert runoff from composting
areas to sediment basins.
8) A 50-foot minimum buffer between perennial streams and the compost
area will be maintained.
9) An all-weather gravel access road to the site will be kept passable at all
times.
10) An erosion control permit submittal for the site is pending and a copy
of the permit will be sent to NCDENR-DWM prior to commencing
grading of the site.
11) Site screening of the composting site is not required.
12) Access to the composting facility is controlled by properly trained
employees.
13) The site has diversion berms leading to a sediment basin. Both the
ditches and the sediment basin can be utilized to control runoff from a
potential fire.
14) An aerial photo illustrating the area within one-fourth mile of the site
was submitted to NCDENR-DWM in the "White Oak Landfill MSWLF
Site Study", dated November 4, 1998,
III. OPERATIONS PROCEDURES
A. Overview
The Small Type 2 Composting Site will consist of an area of approximately
1.5 acres where composting will take place. The County intends to use culls
from pre -consumer agricultural activities as a primary material source for
the composting operation. Approximately 230 tons of agricultural culls per
quarter will be available to the County for composting. Additionally, there
are additional clean wood materials available at the landfill for composting
as a result of the grinding operation, but these materials are typically
2

mulched and used prior to them becoming available for composting. For
the twelve-month period from July 2006 through June 2007, the White Oak
Landfill averaged 100 tons per month of wood and yard waste. Composted
material will be utilized on site as a soil amendment for newly grassed
areas. The rate of compost use will be determined as the compost is
developed and the chemical constituency of the material is known. An
analysis of compost taken from the Johnson Tomato Packing House in
Canton was conducted. The Johnson Packing House compost will be
similar in nature to compost produced at the White Oak Landfill.
Additionally, analysis was conducted on the soils at the White Oak Landfill
that will be used on intennediate slopes where compost will be used to
establish vegetative cover. The results of the analyses and proposed
compost application rates are included in Appendices 1 and 2 of this
demonstration report submittal.
Normal working hours for the Composting Site are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The
facility is closed on Sunday and the following holidays: New Year's Day,
Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
B. Personnel
The facility is owned and operated by Haywood County. A minimum of
two part-time staff employees is required for the daily operation of the
Composting Site. These employees are properly trained in safety
procedures and the inspection of incoming wastes. Training material
published by the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) is
utilized for initial training of on -site personnel and for continuing education.
The employees also direct and coordinate the movement of collection
vehicles into and out of the Composting Site.
C. Technical Operational Requirements
On or before August I" of each year, the owner or operator shall report to
the North Carolina Solid Waste Section, for the previous year beginning
July I" and ending June 301h, the amount by weight of the solid waste that
was received at the facility and disposed of in a landfill, incinerated, or
converted to fuel. To the maximum extent practicable, such reports shall
indicate by weight the county of origin of all solid waste. The owner or
operator shall transmit a copy of the report to the county in which the
facility is located and to each county from which waste originated.
The following operational criteria shall be met at the Composting Site:
3

1) Small Type 2 Composting Facilities shall process or store less than
1,000 cubic yards of material for composting per quarter, and occupy
less than two acres of land.
2) Type 2 composting facilities may receive pre -consumer meat -free food
processing waste, vegetative agricultural waste, source separated paper
or other source separated specialty wastes, which are low in pathogens
and physical contaminants
3) Waste acceptable for a Type 1 facility may be composted at a Type 2
facility. Type 1 wastes include yard and garden waste, silvicultural
waste, untreated and .unpainted wood waste or any. combination
thereof.
4) Sludges may not included in a Type 2 Composting Facility.
5) Neither hazardous waste nor asbestos containing waste shall be
accepted at the composting facility.
6) Household hazardous waste shall not be accepted at the composting
facility.
7) The composting site shall not allow uncontrolled public access.
8) Compost shall be maintained at or above 131 degrees Fahrenheit for 3
days. The temperature of all compost produced shall be monitored
sufficiently to ensure that the pathogen reduction criteria is met.
9) Nitrogen bearing wastes shall be incorporated as necessary to minimize
odor and the migration of nutrients.
10) The finished compost shall meet the classification and distribution
requirements outlined in Rule 15A NCAC 13B.1407 of the Solid
Waste Regulations.
D. Traffic Control
Access to the Composting Site is controlled by properly trained employees
who are located at the entrance of the landfill. As vehicles arrive at the
Composting Site, site personnel will direct the driver to position the vehicle
at the correct unloading location. When the contents of the vehicle are
emptied, the driver is instructed to move the vehicle away from the
Composting Site.
E. Housekeeping, Litter, and Vector Control
Incoming wastes will be transported to the Composting Site in covered or
enclosed vehicles. Outgoing transfer trailers will also be covered or
enclosed. Throughout the day and at the end of each working day, facility
personnel will police the area for litter. Mosquitoes and rodents shall be
controlled so as to protect the public health and welfare.
4

F. Fire Control
In the event that a fire occurs, the local authorities will be notified
immediately. The telephone numbers of local fire; police, ambulance and
hospital facilities are posted in and around the facility at all times.
Additionally, the White Oak Landfill facility keeps a water tank track on
site at all times. In the event of a fire at the facility the NCDENR will be
notified within 24 hours and written notification will be submitted within 15
days.
G. Storm Water Management and Erosion Control
An erosion control permit submittal is pending and a copy of the erosion
control permit will be provided to the NCDENR-DWM upon receipt.
Standard erosion control practices, such as a sediment basin, silt fencing,
vegetating slopes, and diversion ditches will be utilized at the site. Runoff
from the composting areas will be diverted to an existing sediment basin
and a proposed sediment traps.
H. Zoning
Haywood County has no zoning requirements for the Scrap Tire Collection
Site property. A detailed discussion of the zoning requirements for
Haywood County is included in the "White Oak Landfill, MSWLF Site
Study", dated November 4, 1998.

RE: Request for an Alternative Daily Cover.
Haywood County MSW Landfill - Permit Number 44-07
Dear Mr. Walker:
The Solid Waste Section has reviewed your request to use an alternative daily cover consisting
of ground painted or treated wood, sheetrock, and soil. Your proposal is hereby approved with
the following conditions:
Jim Patterson, Regional Waste Management Specialist, shall be notified prior to initial
use. Mr. Patterson may be contacted in the Asheville Regional Office at (828) 251-
6208.
2. Your request to use an alternate daily cover at the referenced site will be for a 90-day
demonstration period. This cover must comply with 15 NCAC .1626(2)(b) which
requires an owner/operator to demonstrate that the alternative cover controls disease
vectors, fires, odors, blowing litter, and scavenging without presenting a threat to
human health and the environment.
3. To request additional or permanent approval, an operational plan including all methods,
procedures, and practices involved, shall be developed and submitted for Section
approval prior to the end of the 90-day demonstration period. Particular attention
should be given to procedures related to potential landfill fires. Upon completion of the
demonstration period and receipt of the operational plan, the permit will be amended to
reflect the modification.
if you have any additional questions, please contact me at [phone] or Tim Jewett,

Subject: Modification to Permit #44-07
Haywood County MSWLF
Dear Mr. Coffey,
Haywood County would like to obtain a permit modification for the White Oak Landfill - Permit #44-07.
The modification for daily cover, Rule.1626(2)(a), would include a mixture of ground painted or
treated wood, sheetrock and soil for daily cover.
At the present time painted or treated wood and sheetrock is ground into a mulch like material and
hauled to the White Oak Landfill. This material mixed with soil would make an excellent daily cover,
and cut down on the amount of soil used. This alternative material should satisfy the Division
requirements under Rule.1626 (2)(b).
If you have any questions concerning this request, please contact me at 828-627-8042.
Sincerely,
Joe Walker

Subject: Modification to Permit #44-07
Haywood County MSWLF
Dear Mr. Coffey,
Haywood County would like to obtain a permit modification for the White Oak Landfill - Permit #44-07.
The modification for daily cover, Rule.1626(2)(a), would include a mixture of ground painted or
treated wood, sheetrock and soil for daily cover.
At the present time painted or treated wood and sheetrock is ground into a mulch like material and
hauled to the White Oak Landfill. This material mixed with soil would make an excellent daily cover,
and cut down on the amount of soil used. This alternative material should satisfy the Division
requirements under Rule.1626 (2)(b).
If you have any questions concerning this request, please contact me at 828-627-8042.
Sincerely,
W l�-4—

6 OPERATIONS PLAN
The approved Operations Plan will remain unchanged and is the primary reference for the operations
in the new Waste Cell 4. This plan (reproduced in Appendix A) is contained in the Transition Plan
dated April, 1994 prepared by DSA Design Group, Inc. Also refer to the previously submitted and
approved WOSLF design plans by DSA Design Group dated September, 1992 and the Approved
Plans submitted by Tribble and Richardson. Inc. A summary of the contents and characteristics of the
Operations Plan is contained in this section.
6.1 LANDFILL DEVELOPMENT
Waste will be accepted in baled form from the Haywood County Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).
These bales will be placed in lifts of up to 12 feet in depth. Each lift will be covered with 6 inches of
daily cover. Final cover will consist of at least 24 inches of soil (or bentonite-augmented soil) with a
permeability of less than or equal to 1x10-7 cm/s covered with a 30 mil low -density polyethylene
(LDPE) FML and at least 6 inches of topsoil.
6.2 BORROW AREA OPERATIONS
SRK submitted a plan to utilize the proposed borrow area to the south of the current landfill limits.
Approval to excavate in this area was sought and acquired through submittal to DEHNR, Land
Quality Division of an updated Sediment and Erosion Control Plan dated January 27, 1997. DSWM
was also given proper notification. This plan and attached drawings detailed excavation limits and
sediment and erosion control. This borrow area will be utilized during the life of the new Waste
Cell 4.
6.3 WASTE ACCEPTANCE AND DISPOSAL REQUIREMENTS
The WOSLF will continue to refuse waste outlined in Section 7.4 of the Transition Plan. This waste
includes but is not limited to hazardous waste, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), and liquid sludge.
All waste accepted shall be disposed in the manner described in Section 7.5 of the Transition Plan.
6.4 SPREADING AND COMPACTING REQUIREMENTS
Baled waste shall be placed in the landfill to achieve the following goals: (1) keep working area as
small as possible; (2) follow the downgradient direction during placement; (3) pack the waste as
densely as practical into daily cells; and (4) collect windblown debris on a regular basis.
SRK Project No. 83505 Page 6-1

Permit Modification, Landfill Expansion White Oak Sanitary Landfill
6.5 HAZARDOUS AND LIQUID WASTES SCREENING PROGRAM
The WOSLF will continue to implement the requirements of the Hazardous and Liquid Wastes
Screening, Prop*ram currently in place. This program is divided into two parts, (1) hazardous and
liquid waste spotting and (2) random load inspections. The requirements of both parts are covered in
section 7.7 of the Transition Plan.
6.6 COVER MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS AND VECTOR CONTROL
A minimum of 6 inches of daily cover will be placed on waste in the new cell to control blowing
debris and vector populations. Intermediate cover material cover requirements are outlined in Section
7.8 of the Transition Plan.
6.7 EXPLOSIVE GAS CONTROL
Section 7.10 of the Transition Plan details measures required to detect and respond to explosive gas
build-up. Several methane monitoring points have been established for sampling methane
concentrations. Limits established by State regulations are reiterated in this section along with steps
required in the event of detection of gas concentrations above those thresholds.
6.8 RECORD KEEPING
The WOSLF personnel shall keep records of the daily operations of the landfill. These parameters
are outlined in section 7.15 of the Transition Plan and will continue to be implemented in the new
Waste Cell 4.

CHAPTER 7 - OPERATION PLAN
4
7.1 Operational Drawings
Refer to the previously submitted and Approved White Oak Sanitary Landfill design plans by DSA
Design Group dated September, 1992 and the Approved Plans submitted by Tribble and Richardson,
Inc. Also refer to the attached "as -built' drawing for other information including water quality and
explosive gas monitoring locations.
The landfill will be operated so as to facilitate closure at any time while keeping the height of the
landfill to a minimum by phasing from low to high areas. This will be accomplished by placing waste
in layers and cells as indicated in the Approved Operations documentation. Operators will keep the
size of the active area to a minimum.
Landfilling may begin by placing baled waste in daily lifts of up to 12 feet in depth. Each lift will be
covered with 6 inches of daily cover soil and graded to drain away from the working area. When the
placing of waste reaches the elevation of the top of the embankment the outside face of the waste
shall be graded to match the slope of the outside face of the embankment (i.e., 3:1). Embankment
faces will be covered with a minimum of 12 inches of intermediate cover soils and temporarily
vegetated.
The slope of the outside face of the landfill will be interrupted every 20-30 feet. in vertical height by a
bench with a drainage channel (refer to the approved closure contours shown on the Tribble &
Richardson plans). The benches will help increase stability and reduce the slope length and erosion
of the outside face of the landfill. The bench channels will be drained via slope drain pipes similar to
those being presently utilized at the landfill.
Runoff from the landfill will be directed, via diversion channels, to the existing riser barrel sediment
basin located to the north of the waste cell. The existing sediment basin will be excavated to its
original or appropriate dimensions and regularly maintained. Maintenance shall include inspection
and repair as needed to the embankment and spillway, cleaning or replacement of the gravel filter,
and other repairs to ensure proper operation of all sediment basins. Sediment shall be removed from
the basin when the accumulated sediment reaches one-half of the basin or trap depth.
In accordance with state regulations, a final cover layer consisting of at least 24 inches of soil (or
bentonite augmented soil) with a permeability less than or equal to 1 x 10"' cm/s covered with a 30 mil
flexible membrane liner and at least 6 inches of topsoil shall be installed on the top and on outside
slopes as soon as practical after the slopes are brought to final grade. The final cover shall be
seeded immediately after installation to reduce erosion. Vegetation should be established within 30
working days or 120 days of completion of a phase of the landfill.
DSA Design Group

Transition Plan
Haywood County

The cover and embankment soils for the existing operating landfill will be excavated onsite and
stockpiled near the working area to be used for operational and final cover soils. The operational
soils will be obtained from the approved borrow areas.
7.3 Borrow Area Operations
The required daily, intermediate, and final cover soils will be obtained from the existing and expanded
borrow areas. The expanded borrow area consists of approximately 5 acres of wooded land that lies
to the south of the borrow area currently being excavated (refer to drawings). The expanded borrow
area soils were investigated by Law Engineering during the original geotechnical evaluation for the
site. Test pits were excavated in the expanded borrow area in order to explore the general
subsurface conditions, evaluate soil properties, and to provide information for an estimation of the
quantity of cover soils available.
7.4 Waste Acceptance
The landfill accepts only waste generated in Haywood County and does not/will not accept any of the
following:
• Hazardous Waste as defined in 15A NCAC 13A;
• PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls);
• Liquid Sludge;
• Lead Batteries;
• Asbestos; and
• Liquid and Wastes Containing Free Moisture including the following:
• Bulk or Non -containerized Liquid Wastes unless the waste is household waste;
• Septic Waste or Waste Oil;
• Barrels or Drums unless they are empty and perforated sufficiently to ensure that they
contain no liquid or hazardous waste; and
• Containers Holding Liquid Waste unless the container is a small container similar is size
to that normally found in household waste, the container is designed to hold liquids for
use other than storage, or the waste is household waste.
A waste is liquid, or contains free moisture, if it fails the Paint Filter Test (see Hazardous and
Liquid Waste Screening Program for details).
DSA Design Group 14 Transition Plan
Haywood County

7.5 Disposal Requirements
The following items shall be disposed in the manner described below:
• All Municipal Solid Waste received for landfilling shall be placed within the limits of the
composite liner system.
• Spoiled food, animal carcasses, abattoir (slaughterhouse) waste, hatchery waste, and other
animal waste shall be covered immediately.
• Asbestos waste, if accepted, should be covered immediately with soil in a manner that will not
cause airborne conditions and must be disposed of separate and apart from other solid wastes
at the bottom of the working face. It is current landfill policy not to accept asbestos for
disposal.
• Wastewater Treatment Sludges will only be accepted if utilized as a soil conditioner and
incorporated into or applied to the erosion layer of the final cap system, but in no case greater
than six inches in depth. It is current landfill policy not to accept sludge for disposal.
• Tires will be collected and stored in a separate designated area at the MRF and convenience
centers for periodic removal and processing, or for proper disposal.
1
• White Goods shall be collected and stored at the MRF. The CFCs shall be removed and the
remaining appliance shall be salvaged or landfilled at the bottom of the working face.
Currently all white goods are being removed and reused. '
• Wood Waste and Yard Waste shall be disposed of at another location approved by DSWM.
Currently, the approved LCID landfill in Canton is receiving this waste.
DSA Design Group 15 Transition Plan
Haywood County

7.6 Spreading and Compacting Requirements
Operations for the landfill unit are more detailed in the Operation Plan and Operational Supplemental
Document contained in the Approved Plan. Briefly, landfilling shall be performed in general
accordance with the following placement requirements:
• Daily placement of baled solid waste will be restricted to the smallest area feasible. Keeping
the active area as small as possible will:
• minimize leachate generation;
• decrease the quantity (not thickness) of cover soils used;
• increase bale placement efficiency;
• decrease potential of litter problems (blowing waste); and
• discourage scavenging and permit the bales to be placed and covered in less time.
• In general, solid waste (bales) should be deposited at the bottom of the active face and
placement should progress downgradient along the waste cell. Bales should be stacked
according to a maximum 5:1 ratio; that is to say 5 bales should be placed along the toe before
one is placed on top. This results in:
• bale stability will be ensured, and the tumbling of bales will be mitigated;
• better bale placement, as bales can be placed so that stormwater can shed away from
the working face over covered waste;
• better visibility, comfort, and safety for equipment operators; and
• better litter control due to less exposure to wind and less surface area of the waste.
Special daily field or disposal conditions may make downslope operations impractical. The
judgement of the landfill operations manager will prevail concerning day-to-day operations.
• Bales should be placed as densely as practical into daily cells. Maximum placement efficiency
of solid waste can be achieved by:
• placing bales in one to two -bale height lifts (no more than six feet high);
• minimize soils placement between bales and maintain bale alignment to ensure
uniformity;
• maintain active area slopes at or less than 3:1 (33%).
• Windblown waste resulting from operations shall be collected and returned to the disposal
area on a regular basis. Haywood County may wish to construct a portable litter fence if it is
determined there is a prevailing wind direction at the landfill.
DSA Design Group 16 Transition Plan
Haywood County

7.7 Hazardous and Liquid Wastes Screening Program
The following screening program is a modification of the existing Random Load Inspection Program
established for Haywood County. Currently, random deliveries of solid waste are inspected each
week of operations at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) located on Recycle Road in Clyde, NC.
It is important to prohibit the disposal of hazardous and liquid wastes at the White Oak Landfill due to
the potential risk to human health and the environment. Provisions in the NC Solid Waste
Management Rules place long-term liability on Haywood County.
The Hazardous and Liquid Waste Screening Program consists of two parts, (1) Hazardous and Liquid
Waste Spotting and (2) Random Load Inspections.
Definitions:
Characteristic Waste - Wastes which are deemed to be hazardous due to their nature. A waste
is a characteristic hazardous waste if it is not a listed waste but exhibits one or more of the
following four characteristics: ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or TCLP toxic.
Corrosive - A waste is corrosive if the pH of the waste is less than 2 or greater than 12.5.
Hazardous Waste - Wastes with characteristics, either physical or chemical, that could harm
human health or the environment. A waste is categorized as hazardous if it meets either of the
two following criteria: (a) a listed waste or (2) a characteristic waste. For landfilling purposes,
a waste is NOT defined as hazardous if it is a household waste or household hazardous waste
(HHW).
Household Waste - Wastes (including garbage, trash and liquids) derived from households
(including single and multiple' residences, hotels, motels, and other residential sources).
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) - Waste which meets the criteria of a hazardous waste
and is derived from households. Household hazardous waste is allowed, by the NC Solid
Waste Management Rules, for disposal at municipal solid waste landfills.
Ignitable - A waste is ignitable if it has a flash point (will ignite) at a temperature of less than
140°F, causes a fire by friction under normal circumstances, or is an oxidizer. Examples of
ignitable wastes include solvents, peroxide and petroleum products. Common sources of
ignitable waste include automobile repair shops, machine shops and dry cleaners.
Listed Waste - Listed wastes are specific chemical compounds which have been deemed by
the EPA to present significant risks to human health and the environment. The EPA's "Lists of
Hazardous Wastes" are contained in 40 CFR 261.30 - 261.33 (Subpart D).
DSA Design Group 17 Transition Plan
Haywood County

Liquid Waste - Waste shall be considered liquid if the waste fails the Paint Filter Test as
described below:
Paint Filter Test: Place a 100 milliliter sample of waste in a conical, 400 micron paint
filter. If any liquid passes through the filter in five minutes, the waste fails the test.
Liquid wastes that are part of household waste are accepted at the landfill.
PCBs - Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a toxic material with the potential for poisoning
animal and plant life and do not degrade over time. Examples of materials which may contain
PCBs are transformers, capacitors and hydraulic systems.
Reactive - A waste is reactive if it is normally unstable; reacts violently with water; forms an
explosive mixture with water; contains quantities of cyanide or sulfur that could be released to
the air; or can easily be detonated or exploded.
TCLP Toxic - A waste is TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) toxic if the
concentration of any of the constituents listed below exceeds the standard assigned to that
substance shown in parentheses.
Arsenic (5.Omg/1)'
Barium (100)
Benzene (0.5)

DSA Design Group 18 Transition Plan
Haywood County

Hazardous and Liquid Waste Spotting:
County personnel working at the scales, MRF and the active face of the landfill shall watch for
suspicious wastes at all times. Personnel shall watch for the following:
• Hazardous placards, labels or markings
• Liquids
• Powder, dust, or vapors
• Sludges
• Bright or unusual colors
• Drums or commercial size containers
• 'Chemical" or unusual odors
• Other waste not accepted at the landfill
MRF personnel shall pay special attention to waste originating from:
• auto repair and machine shops (solvents, paint wastes, lead acid batteries, grease and
oil),
• dry cleaners (filters containing dry cleaning solvents), and
• other industries which generate a variety of undesirable wastes; e.g. chemical and
related products, petroleum refining, primary metals, electrical and electronic
machinery.
IF HAZARDOUS, LIQUID OR SUSPICIOUS WASTE IS DISCOVERED, landfill personnel shall
proceed in accordance with the following:
1. Instruct the hauler to remain at the MRF until waste acceptance is determined by the
Haywood County Emergency Management Coordinator and the appropriate information
is obtained from the hauler to complete the Hazardous and Liquid Waste Screening
Report.
2. Complete a Hazardous and Liquid Waste Screening Report and place a copy of the
Report in the Operating Record.
If the waste is identified while still in the haul vehicle, the MRF/landfill manager
may refuse the load, however the following steps still must be completed.
3. Contact the Haywood County Solid Waste Director - Keith Burris (704-627-8137) and
the Haywood County Emergency Management Coordinator - Nolan Palmer (704-452-
6660).
4. Segregate the suspicious waste if safe to do so.
DSA Design Group 19 Transition Plan

Allow the Emergency Management Coordinator to determine if the waste is hazardous
or liquid.
If the waste is determine to be hazardous or suspicious, Haywood County
Emergency Management Personnel will:
a. Notify the Local Office of Emergency Management (Asheville) and the
State Office of Emergency Management (Raleigh).
b. Contact a licensed hazardous waste hauler to remove and properly
dispose of the waste, or advise the original hauler to properly remove
and dispose of the waste. A list of licensed hazardous waste cleanup
contractors is available from the Haywood County Emergency
Management Coordinator.
c. The MRF/landfill manager shall complete the remaining steps of this
procedure.
If the waste is determined to be liquid (and non -hazardous) by the Haywood
County Emergency Management Personnel, the MRF/landfill manager will:
a. Require the hauler of the waste to remove the liquid waste from the MRF,
or arrange for its proper transport and disposal.
b. Refer to Section 7.4 Waste Acceptance for requirements on the
acceptance of liquid waste.
c. Complete the remaining steps of this procedure.
If waste is to be removed from the site or if further on -site analysis is required and must
remain on site overnight, cover the waste securely with a waterproof tarp or segregate
the waste to a dry, covered area within the MRF.
Notify the Division of Solid Waste Management (919-733-0692) within 24 hours of
attempted disposal of any waste the landfill is not permitted to receive, including
hazardous and liquid wastes, PCBs, and waste from outside Haywood County.
DSA Design Group 20 Transition Plan
Haywood County

Random Load Inspections:
Random Load Inspections shall be performed on randomly selected loads originating in part or
total from commercial and/or industrial sources. Loads consisting entirely of household
(residential) waste should not normally be included in the Random Load Inspection Program.
Household hazardous/liquid waste is accepted at the White Oak Landfill, however, landfill
personnel shall stay alert to household hazardous/liquid waste for their own protection.
Selection of Random Loads:
The Haywood County MRF receives approximately 75 loads of municipal solid waste per day.
One (1) Random Load Inspection shall be performed each week, however, all loads deemed
by the MRF operator to be suspicious should be inspected and documented.
The random load to be inspected will be determined by selecting the day of the week and the
time of day at which the load crosses the MRF scale. Each operating week prior to opening
for disposal operations, the MRF personnel will randomly select a day and time (e.g. Tuesday,
10:45 a.m.). The first load of waste, containing all or part commercial or industrial waste,
which crosses the scales on or after the selected time will be the load inspected that day. If
the randomly selected load is determined to consist entirely of household waste (no
commercial or industrial waste) then the inspection shall be performed on the next load
4 crossing the scales containing, in part or total, commercial and/or industrial waste.
Random Load Inspection Procedure:
1. Prior to accepting waste the MRF operator will designate an area to be used for random
load inspection. The designated area shall be dry and away from other received waste
on the MRF floor.
2. The randomly inspected vehicle will be directed to the designated area.
3. The waste should be inspected, as completely as possible, while still in the vehicle
before dumping the load. If any of the items listed in step 5 below are observed then
the operator should request that the hauler remain on site until waste acceptance is
determined by the Haywood County Emergency Management Coordinator and the
appropriate information is obtained from the hauler to complete the Hazardous and
Liquid Waste Screening Report. The operator should then complete the Hazardous and
Liquid Waste Screening Report and contact the Haywood County Solid Waste Director -
Keith Burris (704-627-8137) and the Haywood County Emergency Management
Coordinator - Nolan Palmer (704-452-6660). Allow the Emergency Management
Coordinator to determine the method of disposal of the waste.

7.8 Cover Material Requirements
All disposed solid waste must be covered with six inches of daily cover soils at the end of each
operating day, or at more frequent intervals if necessary, to control disease vectors, fires, odors,
blowing litter, and scavenging.
Areas which will not have additional wastes placed on them for 12 months or more, but where final
termination of disposal operations has not occurred, shall be covered with a minimum of 12 inches of
intermediate cover soils and vegetated.
7.9 Disease Vector Control
The appropriate use of daily and intermediate cover and the Disposal Requirements outlined in
Section 7.5 of this chapter should be utilized by landfill personnel to control on -site populations of
rodents, flies, mosquitoes, other animals, or insects, capable of transmitting disease to humans. If
additional means of control are deemed necessary, landfill personnel shall contact the Waste
Management Specialist, Jim Patterson (704-251-6208) for the facility regarding alternative solutions.
Do not apply insecticides, pesticides or other chemicals to the landfill.
7.10 Explosive Gas Control
Methane gas (CHJ is a by product of anaerobic decay (without free elemental oxygen) of organic
constituents contained in solid waste, wastewaters, sludges, or naturally occurring features such as
swamps. Methane, frequently referred to as swamp gas or marsh gas, along with carbon dioxide
(CO2) comprise the major constituents (approximately 99%) of landfill gas. Evidence of anaerobic
decomposition resulting in methane release can be observed as the bubbling that occurs in a
stagnant body of water when the bottom is disturbed thereby releasing the trapped methane gas.
Methane gas generation and migration can pose serious health and safety problems. One should --
understand the characteristics of methane gas in order to appreciate the potential threats it poses.
Methane gas is lighter than air and consequently will rise given the opportunity. Methane has a
specific gravity of 0.554, based on air having a specific gravity of one (1.0). Methane gas is odorless
and colorless and has a flammable range of 5-15% by volume in air. The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL)
is thus 5%. Methane as with any fluid will seek the path of least resistance when it flows or migrates.
With the non -homogeneous nature of a landfill's contents, predictions as to where methane may
migrate are difficult, thus the need to monitor its presence in enclosed areas, confined spaces and at
landfill property boundaries. There are documented cases where methane has migrated underground
several hundred feet from landfills to adjacent areas and even into basements or crawl spaces of
residences.
The dangers posed by methane are well known and there are numerous documented incidences of
explosions caused by methane. The gas can be trapped in unvented or poorly vented areas such as
crawl spaces or even seep into buildings. There is also danger to personnel from asphyxiation upon
entering confined spaces where methane may have displaced some of the normal atmospheric air. Of
course there are other gases present from the biological decomposition. Many of these gases are
organic acids and do have an odor. Carbon monoxide is also likely to be present as it is a product of
anaerobic decay. Thus confined space entry procedures should be employed prior to entering such
spaces. Confined space entry procedures generally consist of checking the space for the presence
of explosive gases, carbon monoxide and oxygen deficiency, venting the confined space, and then
entering only if necessary and equipped with life support breathing apparatus, safety lines, and safety
personnel standing by. Gas detection meters are commercially available and can be purchased to
detect a number of gases or gas categories.

7.11 Air Criteria
A gas venting system is required and has been provided in the Approved Plan. The passive gas
venting system consists of vertical wells installed progressively throughout the landfill cell and vented
to the atmosphere. After construction, the passive system can be converted into a collection/flare
system if the need or requirement arises (see paragraph below). At this time monitoring of the gas
venting system in the landfill cap is not a requirement.
The EPA is expected to promulgate regulations known as Subpart WWW of 40 CFR 60 which will
regulate landfill gas as an air pollutant under the Clean Air Act (CAA). Within nine months after
promulgation, North Carolina will develop a State Implementation Plan (SIP) which implements the
EPA regulations. Landfill owners and operators will be required to ensure that their landfills do not
violate any applicable requirements of the North Carolina SIP. Subpart WWW proposes to control
landfill emissions by regulating nonmethane organic compounds (NMOC's) in the landfill gas.
Landfills emitting more than 167 tons per year of NMOC's would be required to operate gas collection
systems and combust the captured landfill gases. In most cases, the new collection systems will be
connected to the existing passive gas venting system installed in the landfill cap. In the future, the
White Oak Landfill may be required to perform annual testing and calculation of NMOC's emitted from
the Passive Gas Venting System.
7.12 Access and Safety
A locked electronic gate at the entrance to the facility and a perimeter, electrified fence is utilized to
prohibit uncontrolled access to the landfill during off hours. Landfill personnel shall monitor the
access to the landfill during operating hours.
Landfill personnel shall construct and maintain all weather access roads as indicated on the Approved
Operational Drawings. Apply water to access road outside of waste cell when needed to control dust.
Landfill personnel shall maintain signs at facility which state: hours of operation; no hazardous or
liquid waste accepted; the landfill permit number; and other pertinent information.
Landfill personnel shall prohibit the removal of solid waste from the landfill unless removal is
approved by the landfill operator and is not performed on the working face of the landfill.
7.13 Erosion and Sediment Control
The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan for the White Oak Landfill was submitted to
1992 as part of the approved White Oak Landfill Construction Plan. Approval of the
Sediment Control Plan was issued by the Division of Land Resources in July, 1993.

utilization of bench ditches, temporary channels, berms, slope drains, culverts, and other means as
necessary to maintain positive surface drainage off the landfill. At no time shall surface water be
allowed to collect over waste or waste be disposed of in water.
Landfill personnel shall utilize slope benches, slope drains, channels, and other methods indicated in
the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and the Operational Drawings to control drainage
and prevent excessive erosion. The sediment basin shall be maintained to prevent excessive
sediment from leaving the property. Surface water shall be monitored as detailed in Chapter 12 -
Water Quality Monitoring.

Mr. Haywood:
The Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section (Section)
has completed the initial review of the Permit Application for the above
referenced project.
The following items must be provided or addressed in order to
complete the review process.
Revisions must be made in accordance with North Carolina Solid
Waste Management Rule 15A NCAC 13B .1603(b).
Section 1.0 Waste Cell 4 Permit Application Overview refers to
seeking a permit modification to allow construction of the additional cell. The
proposed revision seeks to expand the current landfill with additional lined
cell area. This proposed area constitutes a lateral expansion of the footprint.
Lateral expansions require a permit application and review under permit
renewal. As such, the application should be revised to address the
requirements of 15A NCAC 13B .1603(a)(5) and .1617(e).
Solid Waste Management Rule 15A NCAC 13B 1603(a)(5) references

This review letter will attempt to correlate and address the applicable requirements
as presented in the submitted modification application. However, it is the applicant's
responsibility to ensure that all applicable rules requirements are submitted and addressed.
.1619 Facility Plan
The Section has no engineering comments or questions regarding the Facility Plan at
this time.
.1620 Engineering Plan
The Section recommends that where perforated HDPE leachate collection pipe is
located, extend the filter wrapped #57 stone through the protective sand layer such that
the stone conveyance is in contact with initial waste layer.
.1621 Construction Quality Assurance Plan
Section 5.1.5.1.3 specifies that excavation lines may vary from those shown on the
plans. Construction must be in accordance with the final Section approved plans, to include
the grade lines shown. Adjustments in base grades must receive prior approval from the
Section. Revise this section of the CQA plan accordingly.
The earthwork and clay liner section of the CQA portion of the application does not
specify which party is responsible for CQA testing. Rules require that the CQA or Project
Engineer is responsible for certifying that the project is constructed in accordance with the
approved plans and rules, to include CQA testing. If the bulk of the Construction Quality
Control testing is performed by the contractor and to be used as CQA testing, then
independent CQA verification testing will be required by the Section. Revise the CQA
section of the application accordingly to clarify responsible parties and testing frequencies
where applicable.
Permeability testing frequency is not specified in Table 5-2. The Section
recommends 1 undisturbed test per acre per lift.
Clay liner thickness is generally verified by as built survey based upon
measurements from a grid layout (typically 50 foot grid), except on side slopes where
probes are typically utilized. One hand auger probe per acre is not acceptable.
In addition, if auger holes are utilized, filling techniques were not provided (usually a
tamped bentonite fill or bentonite blend fill).
Testing and frequency to insure properties of the leachate drainage layer is not
provided.
CQA procedures for leachate pipe installation was not provided.

Installation of geonets and geogrids are shown in selected areas. CQA plan not
provided.
Acceptable properties and CQA of the top 12 inches of 'native' soil protection,
above the leachate collection layer, is not provided.
Overall, the CQA portion of the application appears to be in the form of contract
specifications between the owner and contractor rather than a CQA plan. Please review
and revise the CQA plan to clarify construction tests, frequency, verifications, and the
parties which will be responsible for providing such tests and information which will be
presented to the Section in the CQA documentation.
1622 Location Restrictions for MSWLF Facility Siting
Compliance with .1622(1) Airport Safety not provided.
Compliance with .1622(2) Floodplains not specifically provided. However, location
of proposed lateral expansion is obviously not located in a floodplain. General statement to
that effect should be provided in the application or on the plans.
Compliance with .1622(3) Wetlands not specifically provided. Location of proposed
lateral expansion should have not wetlands impact. However, this should be addressed in
the permit renewal application.
Compliance with .1622(4) Fault areas not provided.
Compliance with .1622(5) Seismic Impact Zones not provided.
Compliance with .1622(6) Unstable Areas not provided. This is and evaluation of
the overall site stability, not the calculations provided for side slope design.
.1623(b) Design Hydrogeologic Report
Please refer to correspondence from the Sections Hydrogeologists, Mr. Bobby Lutfy
