Section 2.0 — Siting Requirements
1. The proposed WCC facility is located in Fender County, NC, nine miles east of Rocky Point and 9
miles west of Hampstead, NC. The site was previously owned and operated by Running Deer,
LLC as a Land Clearing Inert Debris (LCID) landfill. A map of the LCID is included in the Appendix.
The existing landfill property was located on approximately 72 acres and had access to Highway
210 through an access easement being beside Rocky Point Water & Sewer District water tank
property.
The property first had a minor LCID area and mining permit for soil excavation and sale, which
later was dosed in approximately 1999. The site then was converted to a major LCID permitted
site and the excavated areas were used for cover material and reclaimed as on -site retention
ponds to help prevent sedimentation. As the LCID areas expanded, a new sediment basin was
permitted at the rear of the site near where the primary runoff outlet ditch continued off site.
The existing conditions map C1 depicts the extent of the LCID operations as well as haul roads
and ponds.
In converting to a compost facility, the existing filled areas will be brought back down to grade
by processing the vegetated material back in with new feedstocks materials. The existing storm
water flow patterns will remain in place. Minimal impervious areas will be added to the site.

The present land use classification is currently zoned as RA. The site was previously owned and
operated by Running Deer, LLC as a Land Clearing Inert Debris landfill.
Wilmington Compost Company is approved for a Conditional Use Permit under RA Zoning for
the following land uses: Compost Manufacturing, NAICS: 325314; Farm Supplies Merchant,
NAICS: 424910; General Combination Crop Farming, NAICS: 111998; Soil Testing Services, NAICS:
541380; Hunting & Trapping, NAICS: 114210. This approval meets the request from Fender
County Zoning for us to apply for a Conditional Use Permit so that our compost facility and
bona -fide farm operations fall under the appropriate UDO classifications outlined by Pender
County's Comprehensive Land Use Plan (2007). The Zoning Compliance is also required to
comply with a Type 3 Facility permit application with the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Quality's Department of Solid Waste Management. Please see approval letter
from the county in Appendix.
2. A map of the parcel boundary and proposed facility is included in the Appendix,
3. The Pender County parcel ID for the site is 3265-61-7071-000 comprised of 72.2 acres. A
breakdown of proposed usage and acreage / square footage is included below, with key
numbers as shown on Figure 1:
1. Mixed Use Retail Distribution Zone (8,000 SF): Finish compost will be stockpiled for pickup
by commercial and residential customers.
2. Vegetative Tipping Zone (3.1 Ac): Primary receiving zone of accepted vegetative materials to
be composted.
3. Vegetated Processing Area (1.1 Ac): All feed stocks will be mixed and ground in this area and
monitored prior to placement in compost zone.
4. Windrow Composting Zone (2.2 Ac): Mixed feedstocks will be placed in the composting zone
in windrows approximately 12' wide and 8' high where they will remain for a duration while
continuously being monitored.
5. Screening Zone (0.75 Ac): Completed compost from windrows will be stockpiled in this area
and fed through a screener to separate large materials from the finished product.
6. Finish Compost Zone (1.5 Ac): Material that has passed through the screening process will
cure in this area for approximately 30 days. Offloading will occur in this zone.
7. (Future) Vegetative Processing Zone (4.5 Ac): As business increases, this second processing
zone will come online in approximately 2 years.
8. (Future) Farm Soil Research Field_ (11.6 Ac): This area is intended to be converted from the
prior LCID landfill to farming and research. Various compost alternatives will be studied with
crops in conjunction with state and local agricultural programs. Possible future space for
operation expansion.
9. Food Waste Receiving Zone (3,600 SF): Food waste from commercial and residential
customers (restaurants, schools, offices, homes, events, etc.) will be placed in a separate
zone for monitoring and processing before being blended into the compost stream.
10. Process Storage & FEMA Emer enc Zone (1.6 Ac): Overflow area for temporary storage of
process materials. Also serves as receiving area for vegetation collected by FEMA during
emergency storm clean-up. Includes a loading zone to distribute processed materials.
4. Legal Deed of Property is included in the Appendix.
5. USGS Topographic map included in the Appendix.

6. County Zoning approval letter included in the Appendix.
7. FEMA Floodplain map included in the Appendix.
8. Army Corps of Engineer wetland letter included in the Appendix.
9. All buffer requirements have been met and exceeded.
10. None
11. Sub -Soil test requirements: In order to meet operation pad requirements in relation to
groundwater, the soil pad shall have a texture finer than foamy sand and be separated from the
seasonal high water table by 24 inches. The existing site still has a lot of fill materials from the
former LCID operation that are continuing to biodegrade. As those materials are brought down
to grade, field observations will verify that the base pad prior to composting will be finer than
loamy sand with a depth of 24" above what the original grade was. This will ensure full
separation.
Section 3.0 — Design Plan:
1. The following types of feedstocks, residuals, bulking materials, and amendments are to be accepted:
a. Pre and Post Consumer Food Waste —Collected from local commercial and residential sectors.
b. Agricultural Waste —Collected from local farm and agricultural operations:
i. Manure — Horse and cow
ii. Spent Produce / Field waste
iv. Mushroom Substrate Material
d. Land Clearing/Yard Waste Debris —Collected from commercial and residential sectors.
f. Compostable Packaging Products — Collected from local commercial and residential sectors. All
products must meet regulatory standards as set forth by the Biodegradable Product Institute,
meeting standards ASTM D6400.
Total estimated amount of materials received monthly: an estimated nearly 9,800 tons a month in
feedstocks, residuals, bulking materials, and amendments are projected to be received at the facility
(in tons).
a) Pre and Post Consumer Food Waste: 500 tons
Summer season will see higher food waste volumes then winter. Spring and Fall are
about the same.

c) Yard and Land Clearing Debris: 9,000 tons — Note: Excess wood chips sold into biofuel markets.
d) Compostable Packaging Products: 50 tons
a. Fall and Spring see higher volumes as schools are in session.
3. Design Capacity
a) The design capacity of the compost processing facility is based primarily upon material storage
volume in the windrow compost processing zone. This area #4 on the design plans is
approximately 2.2 acres in size.
b) The windrow size as shown on the cross section detail is 6 feet high and 15 feet wide with an
approximate 1.78 cubic yard of volume per linear foot of windrow.
c) With a layout of 13 windrows a total of 537S cubic yards of storage volume is available.

d) This design capacity amount is more than double of incoming volume of 2500 cubic yards per
week of bulk materials.
4. Storage Areas:
a) Feedstocks:
a. 3,600 square feet receiving bay for food waste, agriculture waste, and compostable
packaging products storage
b. 1.6 acres for processed vegetative debris
b) Amendments
a. None
c) Finished Compost
a. 1.6 acres for storage
d) Waste: any unwanted waste will be landfilled at a permitted waste management facility.
a. Will likely be collected in a dumpster and various trash receptacles placed strategically
in working zones.
e) Recyclables: any unwanted recyclables will be taken to a permitted recycling facility.
a. Will be collected in recycling receptacles.
Recipe: with a goal of producing a 30:1 C:N ratio, proper density, and moisture level for windrows.
a) Pre and Post Consumer Food Waste
b) Land Clearing and Yard Debris (Wood grinding/chips)
c) Horse and Cow Manure
d) Water — for moisture when needed
e) Air —to keep pile aerated
f) Approximate Recipe Ratios:
a. .5 tons — Pre and Post Consumer Food Waste (10 parts)
b. 1 ton — Land Clearing and Yard Debris (20 parts)
c. .5 tons — Horse and Cow Manure (10 parts)
6. Measuring, Shredding, Mixing, Proportioning:
a) Measuring: We will use our two front-end wheel loaders and excavator to measure. We also
have Load Rite Payload Systems integrated into the buckets/loaders in order to take exact
weight measurements. We will measure using yardage or tonnage.
b) Shredding: The only waste stream that will need to be shredded is our carbon sources. This
source will be grinded to two particles sizes: roughly 1-2" and 4-6". All other waste streams will
not need to be shredded.
c) Mixing: We will use our front-end wheel loaders and excavator to mix. Blending shall occur
prior to windrowing with buckets.
d) Proportioning: This will occur if/when mixed ratios do not perform to intended purpose.
Utilizing monitoring system, we will note and address any undesirable results. For example, if a
smell of ammonia arises, we will turn the pile to increase porosity and air flow to vaporize
smells, as well add in wood chips to restore carbon -nitrogen balance. Proportioning will take
place utilized our buckets and grappler, again working with the buckets on a yardage or tonnage
basis to measure proportions being added/removed.

e) Liquid -Like Waste: Feedstocks should have naturally occurring liquids, for example, juices
from a load of fruit. Bulking agents like wood chips or shavings will be applied and mixed as
often as needed should liquids occur or leachate. These should act as an absorbent.
7. Process Flow Diagram is included in the Appendix.
8. Process Durations:
a) Receiving materials/feedstocks: Daily
b) Preparation/processing: Daily
c) Composting: 3-6 months
d) Curing: 30 days
e) Distribution: Daily
9. Composting Method

perpendicularly through windrows.
B) Temperature will be monitored 3-4 times a week utilizing a thermometer probe.
a. Thermometer is 36" in length, providing both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature
metrics. Currently using ReoTemp thermometers.
b. Temperature readings will be taken every 25' in a windrow from same height along the
pile but at different depths.
C) Methodologies:
a, VAR
i. We will maintain the compost process at a temperature above 104 degrees
Fahrenheit for 14 days or longer and the average temperature for that time
shall be higher than 113 degrees Fahrenheit
b. Process to Further Reduce Pathogens (PFRP) will be reached during composting period.
i. Aerobic conditions shall be maintained during the composting process with the
following methods using windrowing:
1. A temperature of 131 degrees Fahrenheit or greater shall be maintained
in the windrow for at least 15 days, and during the high temperature
period, the windrow shall be turned at least five times
2. Aeration will occur by wheel loader, and eventually a windrow turner,
to provide air flow through piles to meet temperature requirements.
D) Time will be measured, monitored, and recorded in days, hours, and minutes.
10. Outdoor Facilities
a) Work Zones: are to have a minimum slope of 2% to allow for proper water flow
a. All water is maintained onsite through an onsite drainage and stormwater pond system.
b. Buffers, culverts, pipes, and drainage points will be well maintained and monitored to
allow proper flow at all times_

b) Operating during wet weather
a. We will use BMPs during wet/foul weather to keep working zones organized.
i. If zones become too wet, we will not work them until workable.
ii. Worst case scenario, we close down or lay down carbon materials as an
absorbent, like mulch.
11, Process Water or Contact Water
a) Composting zones shall have a 2% minimum slope with windrows parallel to grade to promote
drainage
b) Compost "overs" or mulch berms will be placed if and where needed to prevent run-on.
c) Composting zones shall be inspected and repaired regularly to ensure proper waterflow
d) Vegetative buffers will be utilized for filtration and erosion control
e) All process water is to be collected and re -applied to the compost process as a moisture source.
Time and temp monitoring for PFRP will begin again where process water is re -used.
12. As of now, we do not expect to use any amendments. Any amendment consideration in future will
be submitted for approval.
13, Dust Control
a) Roads shall be maintained with a dust suppression system utilizing a transportable water
system,
b) A sprinkler/hose system will be used to reach areas outside road system to apply moisture when
needed to suppress dust.
14. Recycling of Additional Materials
a) Biofuel: all wood waste products not recycled into composting process will be recycled into
various biofuel markets.
a. This allows for a constant throughput of fresh carbon materials for composting process
while serving the county as a vegetative tipping site, which it is currently lacking. We will
have a consistent flow of tipping, processing, and offloading into compost process or
biofuel so no surplus waste sits onsite longer than it takes to sell.
b. Allows us to serve the community in higher volumes having biofuel as a back outlet to
surplus vegetative debris.
c. Current Biofuel partners (Proprietary info not for public knowledge)- Canal Woods and
Corbett Timber

12. Unacceptable Waste
a) Tipping: We will not accept any loads that have contamination that we can see. If a load is
received with contamination, that customer will get a warning and fine. If the customer repeats
this a second time, they will no longer be allowed to utilize our site or services. All loads will be
visually scanned prior to allowing it to be dumped. Loads will then be inspected after being
dumped to ensure nothing was undetected while on the truck. This will be a zero tolerance site
on contamination.

b) Hauling: Our commercial and residential hauling service starts with educating our customers on
what we can and cannot accept in our receptacles. Like tipping model, we have contamination
fees and measurements in place for our hauling services in order to deter contamination and/or
remove a problematic customer.
c) Contaminated Load: Contaminated loads will be separated and sorted as quickly as possible if a
load does make its way past initial visual screening efforts.
d) Feedstocks: Feedstocks will be visually scanned prior to blending and mixing into compost
process to avoid mixing in potential contaminants.
e) Screening: Trommel screening will allow for the separation of unwanted materials at the end of
the composting process, which will then be sorted and disposed of, whether that is through our
trash or recycling.
f) Goal: We strive to set the highest standards not only of our employees, but our customers and
this site. This site will have zero tolerance for contamination with a proactive approach. We can
guarantee it will be run in an entirely different managerial manner than previous owners. Please
consider the work we have done thus far in the remediation of this site as a sign of our
standards for excellence. Removal of these contaminants will occur routinely as needed.
13. Special Feedstock Handling
a) None of our feedstocks will require special handling.
14. No amendments are currently being used and any future consideration of amendments will be
submitted for approval first.
15. Processing materials for composting:
b) The only material that will require processing is our vegetative debris, which will be grinded to
1-2" and 4-6" specs. All other materials are receiving in a form/size that is ready to be blended
and mixed.
16. Pile Sizes
c) Feedstocks will be roughly 10' wide by 20' high if they even reach that point.
d) Windrows will be 6-8' high and 12-14' wide with at least 15' between each row. For vehicular
and equipment access.
e) Curing rows will also be organized into 6-8" high and 12-14' wide with at least 15' between each
row for vehicular and equipment access.
f) Final Product Storage should be stored in piles/rows no larger than 50' wide and 30' high.
17. Please refer to Section 3.9 above.
18, Temperature probes are 36" long and are dial style thermometers. Probes will be calibrated using
the "ice -point" water method every 6 months, or at least twice a year. This process will be recorded on a
thermometer probe maintenance sheet, including time and date of the calibration. All probes shall be
calibrated on the same day together.
19. Additional Monitoring will occur 3-4 times a week with temperature monitoring unless stated
otherwise below and recorded into our monitoring sheet. Readings will be taken no greater than every
25' apart at the same height level (roughly the middle height point), with a goal to measure each pile at
even increments on both sides of the pile.
1. Moisture content will be monitored in two ways:
a. Squeeze Method: A handful of material is grabbed and squeezed firmly. If material is
crumbly and does not stick together and the hand is dry, moisture content is 30% or
less. If material squeezed in hand sticks together and the hand is moist, moisture
content is around 50%. If the material squeezed sticks together and drips and hand is
wet, moisture content is 60% or more.
b. By using a 36" digital moisture meter, we strive to keep optimal moisture levels
between 40-60%.

2. Oxygen levels will be monitored within the porous structure of the pile and measured using an
oxygen meter. Oxygen levels will never drop below 5%.
3. Porosity will be monitored by particle size and mix. Optimal porosity will remain between 35-
50% to ensure proper airflow and heat production/energy efficiency.
4. Prior to 3rd party testing after curing phase, we will measure C:N ratios utilizing the following
method to maintain optimal C:N ratios during compost process:
a. Total Carbon Value will be found by multiplying the percent carbon of each
ingredient by the number of parts (by weight) of that ingredient and then adding up the
carbon totals for all the ingredients.
b. Total Nitrogen Value will be found by multiplying the percent nitrogen of each
ingredient by the number of parts (by weight) of that ingredient and then adding up the
nitrogen totals for all the ingredients.
c. Lastly, we will divide the carbon by the nitrogen to get the C:N ratio. If it's between 25 and
35, we are in the right ratio window. If the ratio is higher or lower than that, we will adjust
the proportions of ingredients to bring it into the range of 25 to 35 parts carbon for each
one -part nitrogen, striving for a 30:1 ratio.
20. Please refer to Section 3.9 above.
21. Compost Testing
1. Composting testing is to take place after curing phase is complete. Testing will be conducted by
approved Yd party certified labs. We currently work alongside the NC State Extension on some
of our soil testing and it is our goal to produce Grade A Compost that has been STA certified. We
are a member of the US Composting Council, NC Compost Council, and Coastal Composting
Council. Each of these organizations provide valuable resources for testing and more.
a. The pathogens sample should be collected as a composite sample from finished
compost onsite on the same day it is to be taken to the lab for analysis. The sample
should be processed within the hold time required by the lab testing procedure, which
is usually 24 hours.
b. The sample that is collected for metals analysis is to be collected and composited
over a six-month period or every 20,000 tons produced (whichever comes first) from
each batch of compost to meet requirements in .1407(b)(4).
22. Distribution
1. Compost will be offloaded into a variety of end markets. Ultimately we will be working with
agricultural, residential, private, commercial and industrial partners.
2. Materials that make agricultural nutrient claims will meet requirements of NC Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services, Plant Industry Division.
23. Method of Removal from Site
1. Compost will be offloaded in bulk utilizing front end loaders or an excavator into truck beds,
dump trailers, dump trucks, and tractor trailers (dump and/or walk -off floor).
2. Compost will also be bagged and sold into retail outlets in various forms and sizes depending on
the customer. For example, we have an outlet looking to purchase 1 ton bags, and another
outlet looking to purchase bags by the cubic foot.
3. Disposal/Alternative Usage
a. Any compost that is unable to be sold will be donated to various local non -profits and/or
schools, as well as stored and utilized on site for multiple applications/uses like an
aerobic biofilter layer or to be reapplied into our compost process to be used as an
inoculant or kick starter.
24. Record Keeping

1. All data shall be recorded and maintained in filing system for a minimum period of 5 years.
Records will be available onsite for Division inspection, and to be submitted to Division upon
request. Please see "Pile Monitoring Log" in the Appendix.
2. Each batch of compost will be given its own identification number for tracking.
3. Daily and Annual Reporting records will meet and include data requirements set forth in .1406
(1)(b), Rule .1406(19)(c), and Rule .1408,
25. Please refer to Section 3.11 above.
26. Proof of documentation notifying local fire protection agency of our site.
1. We have a wonderful relationship with Pender County Emergency Management and Fire
Departments, including Management Director Tommy Batson.
2. Tommy Batson is responsible for motivating Pender County to provide our site an address as the
site did not previously have one. This was a proactive measurement for the purpose of giving
the local fire department an address should future fires arise, so they know exactly where to go
if called upon.
27. Fire Prevention Plan:
1. We have already met with our local fire department and department leaders. They are aware of
our site goals and excited in regard to the proactive nature of our operation to reduce fire risks
and manage the site properly.
2. Onsite, we have a fire hose/sprinkler system that has over 1,200' of line so that it can reach any
point of a work zone, pulling water from of 1 of 6 existing ponds. We also have a stockpile of
dirt/topsoil which can be used to suppress fires by dumping and smothering the fire.
3. Proper pile BMPs will assure adequate ventilation of the pile to release heat and increase
evaporation of water, which is a heat -absorbing process. Ventilation will be achieved by turning
the pile or using a mechanical aeration system like a windrow turner. We will also manage our
piles at appropriate pile sizes.
4. Stay Alert, Stay Aware. Our employees are trained to look potential fire hazards, for example,
vents on a pile, collapsed areas of a pile, and/or temperatures above 155 F during temperature
monitoring. If/when noticed, actions to remedy will take place immediately.
5. Locate the hot spot before it turns into a fire. Monitoring the temperature of all piles on a
weekly basis will help identify the hottest spot in the pile. With this proactive monitoring, we
are only trying to establish the hottest spot in the pile.
6. if a fire occurs, it needs to be located in the pile. The fire department will be notified and on
standby during this process. This will be accomplished by very carefully using a large wheel
loader to open up the pile. Our fire hose will be available as the loader removes material to
spray directly onto burning embers — or a burning loader if this happens. If the fire worsens, the
fire department will be brought in.
7. A notice will be sent to the NCDEQ Solid Waste Management Division within 24 hours of the fire
notifying them of the event.
8. Prevention is the only adequate solution to avoiding dangerous and expensive fires at compost
facilities. It is our goal to use BMPs to avoid potential fires and to be more than ready should
one arise.
28. Maintaining Facility
1. The facility will be maintained in a sanitary condition by using water suppression systems to
keep dust and airborne particulates down. Spill blankets, tarps and buckets are always kept
onsite. Power outages are not a concern as we have been working the site for over a year
without any power, so site shall remain operational during power outages. BMPs will be utilized
to avoid vectors, noise and odors, including but not limited to proper buffer usage, moisture
control, temperature control, light control and noise control.

29. Contingency Plan
2. During extreme weather, we will use best judgement as to whether to continue working or to
shut down until weather permits again. We will not work the site at the risk of our employees'
or customers' safety orthe integrity of the site. Equipment, traffic and any unforeseeable
change to the operation plan shall be observed, adapted to and changed to properly meet the
needs of the situation at hand while maintaining compliance.
30. Safety
1. Safety is our number one concern. All employees/operators will be trained to work the site with
BMPs, with safety the number one focus. This includes equipment training, processing training,
and customer interaction training. Work zones will be managed by personnel so that customers
are being helped/directed at all times. These zones will be organized as depicted in the site
plans, to keep offloading zones at a safe distance from processing zones. Working areas and
road systems will be maintained in good condition. Buffers and zones will be marked utilizing
white PVC markers spray painted with orange tops. Customers will only have access to a portion
of the site, in which heavy equipment like a grinder, will not be in close proximity. Loading zones
and processing zones will be a safe distance apart at all times.
31. This site has no intention of ceasing operation. If or when the time comes for WCC to cease
operation on the site, we acknowledge a cease in operation must be done in accordance with Rule
.1410.
Section 5.0 Odor Control Plan
We do not foresee issues arising in regard to odor issues considering our BMPs. Odor will be
controlled by using BMPs described above in the design and operational plans to retain optimal
levels of the following at all times: nutrient balance, temperature, moisture, and aeration.
Feedstocks will be quickly blended into the compost pile or covered with an appropriate
aerobic biofilter layer (like wood chips or finished compost), until ready to be blended into the
composting process. The site meets and, in places exceeds, all buffer requirements. Slope,
berm and proper onsite water flow maintenance shall keep areas in good working order.
Geographically, we are in a very low -density residential area along NC HWY 210. Shall an odor
complaint arise, a claim can be filed at our office and kept on file. The nature of complaint will
be resolved/addressed immediately. With a constant attention to site maintenance and
sanitation, odor shall not be an issue with the measurements and practices being applying to
prevent odor issues from arising in the first place.

Longitude:-77.78384
Location description: The project area is located on the east side of Highway 210, north of Running Deer Trail, and south of
Sleep Ford Road in Rocky Point, Pender County, North Carolina.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There are wetlands on the above described project area, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33
USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The wetlands have been delineated, and
the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. Therefore, this preliminary jurisdiction
determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of
computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made
on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on
the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the
Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD,
which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
There are wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33
USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the wetlands have not
been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a
verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all
of the waters, including wetlands, at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable
permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
_ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC §
1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to
exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are waters of the U.S. on the above described project area subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be
relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ We recommend you have the waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish
this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by
the Corps.

Section 404

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:

Erosion Control Plan
Wilmington Compost Company
February 2022

1.0 NARRATIVE
This Sediment Erosion Control Plan is being designed to control disturbed soils for a
composting facility on the previous site of the Running Deer Land Clearing Inert Debris
Landfill located in Pender County East of Interstate 40 along State Highway 210. The
property on which the compost facility is to be located is owned by the applicant,
Wilmington Compost Company and Piney Run Farms. Previously, the site was used for
hunting game and some pasture land. The entire facility acreage is 75.6 acres while the
proposed disturbed acreage for the active compost facility is 17.3 acres.
The rear of the site will be closed for any further LCID operations and will not be
disturbed at this time.
Approximately 314 of the property is wooded with access roads and drainage ditches
crossing the site. The existing ditches run to the northeastern corner of the property
where an existing sedimentation pond is located. The effluent of the pond flows into
Trumpeter Swamp.
Six small ponds currently exist on the site which were created by mining. Approximately
ten acres were permitted for mining on the property in the name of Running Deer Mine.
An existing entrance road and haul road which previously were used for logging will be
used as the haul road for the Compost operation.
Land use in the vicinity contains residential owners along with logging operations and
also a hog farm. Five mobile homes are located along NC 210 just south of the entrance
but at least 500 feet from any proposed landfill operations.
Permitted Compost area will be for approximately 17 acres. The permit boundaries are
located within proper setbacks and siting requirements described in NCAC 15A-
13B.0564. Disturbance will follow the construction schedule and reclamation will be
conducted as appropriate landfill areas are completed.
Sediment Erosion Control Practices
Temporary Gravel Construction Entrance/Exit -- Practice 6.06
A temporary gravel construction entrance will be installed at the northwestern
gated entrance to prevent sediment from leaving the site, The entrance should be
graded so that runoff water will be directed to the north onto owners property. See
Construction Detail Sheet for dimensions and specifications.
2. Land Grading -- Practice 6.02
The existing slope of the site is mostly flat except for the current landfill areas
where the elevations rise. All disturbed areas in and around the landfill will be
rough graded to slope and drain into the existing ponds. Sediment will be directed
to drain back into the ponds even after finish grading by constructing new ditches.
Haul roads will be used as flow barriers and will also be sloped towards pond
areas. Undisturbed areas will surround most of the landfill reducing sedimentation
and wind erosion.

3. Sediment Pence -- Practice 6.62
A sediment fence will be constructed around the filling areas as necessary to
prevent sediment from leaving the site. See Construction Detail Sheet for
dimensions and specifications.
4. Ditch Installation
A new drainage ditch will be installed at the rear most boundary of the landfill as
shown on the plans. The ditch will connect an existing ditch on the site to the
sedimentation pond. Side slopes will be minimum 3:1.
5. Sedimentation Pond
The existing sedimentation pond located at the site was doubled in size around
year 2000 to accommodate increased runoff and sedimentation potential due to the
expansion.
2.0 Construction Schedule
1. Obtain plan approval and other applicable permits.
Z. Hold pre -construction meeting at least one week prior to beginning construction.
3. Install/Maintain temporary construction entrance/exit.
4. Begin working of permitted area.
5. Where necessary, install silt fencing to reduce sedimentation into ditches,
wetlands, or adjacent property.
6. When a portion of the site remains inactive for 14 days, begin permanent
vegetative reclamation of disturbed areas.
7. All erosion and sediment control practices will be inspected bi-weekly and after
rainfall events. Needed repairs will be made immediately.
S. The composting After each fill area is stabilized, all temporary measures will be
removed and permanent vegetative repairs to be completed.
9. Completion of project will be within five years at which point mining permit expires.
3.0 Vegetative Plan
1. Upon completely filling a 1 acre cell, top cover soils will be roughened by making 1 %
2" deep grooves perpendicular to the slope.
2. Spread lime (agricultural limestone) evenly of area at a rate of 1.5 tons/acre, spread
10-10-10 fertilizer at a rate of 1000 lb/acre and incorporate into the top 6" of soil.

3. Loosen surface prior to applying seed.
4. Broadcast seed at recommended rates.
5. Rake seed into the soil and lightly pack to establish good contact.
6. Mulch with 4000 lb/acre grain straw or equivalent and anchor by weighted farm disc
set nearly straight or other mulch anchoring tool.
7. Mow as needed and refertilize in late winter or early spring by topdressing with 10-
10-10 fertilizer.
Seed Types and Application Rate I Schedule
Cool Season: Tall Fescue -- 80 Iblacre
Warm Season Mix: Pensacola Bahiagrass -- 50 lb/acre
Kobe Lespedeza -- 40 lb/acre
Seeding Dates: Early Spring: Feb. 15 - Apr. 30
