Box 97 Garner, N.C. 27529 RE: Avery County C&D Landfill Permit No. 06-03 Dear Mr. Sullivan, This letter is written in response to your letter of June 17, 2005, to Mr. Jim Barber of the N.C. Solid Waste Section requesting "revised operation plans of Phase 1" of the Avery County C&D Landfill to allow for additional excavation. As we discussed in our meeting of this past Friday, there is not sufficient hydrogeologic information presently available to demonstrate a vertical separation of at least four feet from the seasonal high ground -water table if additional excavation were to be done. No revisions to the base grades in the currently approved plan can be authorized unless additional hydrogeologic characterization is done to demonstrate compliance with the Solid Waste Management Rules. Therefore the request to revise the operation plans of Phase 1 to allow additional excavation must be denied at this time. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please call be at (919) 508-8507.

STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS (List all noted last audit): None FACILITY COMPLIANCE AUDIT REPORT - Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 2 AREAS OF CONCERN AND COMMENTS: 1. The newly constructed phase of the landfill has been in operation approximately 2 months. This phase was at least one-third full. 2. A berm was constructed to delineate the boundary of the phase. The berm had breached at its lowest point; a sedimentation basin was constructed in front of the berm in this area to effectively prevent sediment from moving beyond the berm. 3. The facility appeared to have accepted on those wastes that it was permitted to receive. 4. A large amount of waste from new construction had recently been hauled to the facility. 5. The working face was steep and needs to be flattened so that the waste can be properly compacted and cover applied. Adequate soil cover was applied to the remainder of the waste. 6. The active cell should be kept to as small as practical. 7. Waste screenings were conducted and documented. 8. There was a small area of erosion along the new access road that needs to be addressed to prevent sediment from washing into the nearby stream.
