The landfill facility includes an active construction and demolition debris (C&D) landfill, scales and scale house facilities, administrative offices, a maintenance building, a white goods, scrap metal, and tire handling area, a citizen's convenience center, and a recycling building. The facility also has one closed MSW landfill unit (NC Solid Waste Permit No. 9801-MSWLF-1990) which is maintained by the County. Wilson County currently operates Area 1 which is expected to be depleted of permitted volume in mid to late 2021. Once Area 1 has reached capacity, the County will need to expand laterally into the proposed 17 acre Area 2 landfill unit (see Figure 1). NCDEQ requires the evaluation of certain demographic information for a new C&D landfill located within 1-mile of an existing C&D landfill. This report provides socio-economic and demographic information regarding the area immediately surrounding the proposed site along with a comparison of Census -tract, County and Statewide data. 2.0 FACILITY INFORMATION The proposed Westside Area 2 C&D landfill is an expansion of an existing landfill facility. This facility also houses a closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, a closed C&D landfill, an active C&D landfill, a transfer station and recycling/convenience center. The area surrounding the landfill is primarily farmland. The closest residential development is to the north which contains 28 rental homes (on Buck Branch and Heather Court). These homes range from 100 to 750 feet from the property line. There is industrial development to the west of the proposed Westside Area 2 C&D landfill, and limited residential development to the west and east. Across Toisnot Swamp to the south there is residential development adjacent to the Happy Valley Country Club/Golf Course. The approximate site location with the 1-mile radius of the property boundary is shown on Figure 1, on the following page, and a Figure identifying the Census Tracts within the 1-mile radius of the property boundary is included as Figure 2.

Estimates for each element were taken from currently available census data' and utilizing the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Environmental Justice tool (EJScreen)2 for evaluation of the 1-mile radius of the property boundary. Please note the absence of state designated tribal statistical areas when reviewing this data. Additionally, the County distress ranking for Wilson County is Tier 1, and no Native American tribes are located within the County. The County is ranked in the lowest health quartile (least healthy). 3.1 Race and Ethnicity U.S. Census Bureau estimates for race and ethnicity are shown on Figure 3 and Table 1 on the following pages for North Carolina, Wilson County, and Census Tracts 7, 8.02 and 12. Within the 1-mile radius of the property boundary, the population identifying as Black or African American is 78.64%, which is more than 10% above the State, County and two Census Tract (8.02 and 121 averages, but less than 10% higher than Census Tract 7. The population identifying as Hispanic or Latino is more than 10% above the State average, but less than that found in the the Census Tracts. All other percentages within the 1-mile radius of the property boundary were similar to the Census Tracts.

A map showing the identified features is below. It should be noted that the proposed 17 acre development has significant buffers within the 707 acre property which greatly expand the one -mile buffer shown. Items identified include: • Two air quality permits (3C Store Fixtures, Inc. [Air Permit 09859R031, and Water Guard, Inc. — Permit Exempt); • Three solid waste facilities (Wilson County Active C&D Landfill, Wilson County Closed C&D Landfill and the Wilson County Closed MSW Landfill); • Two LCID Landfills (Bullard LCID and Wilson County LCID); • One contaminated dry-cleaning site (Discount Cleaners — Fikewood Plaza); • Two Inactive Hazardous Waste Sites (Cox Dodge and Wilson Tech Fire Training); • Two Hazardous Waste Sites (City of Wilson Garage and Discount Cleaners); • 16 Underground Storage Tank Incidents (Incident #'s: 6468, 10262, 14310, 16006, 16016, 16079, 20433, 20848, 22291, 22308, 26565, 33117, 33191, 33863, 46442, and 47596); • Four above ground storage tank incidents (Incident #s: 6801, 85759, 92337, and 924191; • Four active underground storage tank facilities (Corbett Exxon, City of Wilson Operations Center, Wilson Terminal, and J-Mart); and • Three Land Use Restriction or Notice Sites (Discount Cleaners, Ryder Truck Rental, Wilson Tech- Fire Training).

These potential impacts and mitigation measures are summarized below. 6.1 Traffic The Wilson County C&D Landfill anticipates operating at similar capacity and flow as the existing landfill and traffic related to the proposed facility expansion will be similar to current site operations and is not expected to significantly increase. Following initial discussions with S+G and review of the Public Meeting Presentation from June 1, 2020, Mr. Bobby Liverman, P.E., District Engeer for Division 4, District 2 provided email corrsepondences on June 10, 2021 indicating no need for a Traffic Impact Analysis or new Driveway Permit (See Appendix A). 6.2 Potential Releases to the Environment The following is a review of measures required to prevent potential releases into the environment at the facility. Potential releases include impacts to groundwater, and surface water as well as the potential for landfill gas migration. A summary of how these risks will be mitigated is provided in the sections below. 6.2.1 Final Cover System Once the landfill reaches its capacity, a final cover system is required. This final cover system prevents contact with the waste mass and, in conjuction with landfill gas (LFG) collection components also aids the control of LFG and odors. Also, once Area 1 is full, that portion of the site will be closed with a low - permeability cover. 6.2.2 Erosion and Sedimentation Control An approved erosion and sedimentation control plan is required for construction and operation of the landfill facility. This plan includes several existing sediment basins. In addition, the site is routinely inspected to ensure that storm water conveyance features remain intact and erosion is repaired in a timely manner. 6.2.3 Monitoring Programs On -going monitoring programs at the site include water quality monitoring, landfill gas monitoring, and storm water (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)) monitoring.

Wilson County Westside CH Landfill Socio-Economic Study January 2022 Page 20 DocuSign Envelope ID: E332D723-C946-43CE-9DA5-5789AOE63E96 7.0 CONCLUSIONS The proposed Westside C&D Area 2 landfill expansion consists of approximately 17 acres located on a 707-acre parcel east of Wilson, North Carolina. As described by the NC Department of Commerce, Wilson County is labeled as Tier 1 in County Distress Rankings. This property has been a landfill facility since 1973, initially with a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill, and then with C&D landfill, which began on January 1, 1998 following closure of the MSW Landfill Unit. The demographic analysis within the one -mile radius of the property boundary indicates the area has a percent population of minorities (>50%) that is higher than statewide data. There is also a higher percentage of people living in poverty within the census tracts than across North Carolina. In general, as shown on the maps included in this report, these populations, as well as the sensitive receptors identified, are located across or adjacent to Highway 301, or south of Toisnot Swamp. These are considered significant buffers from the 707 acre property, where 17 acres is proposed for the C&DLF expansion. A small population of --589 individuals across three census tracts have been identified who speak English "less than very well". To address this condition for future public hearings, the County will work NCDEQ to provide pertinent information in English and Spanish. Since the site is currently a C&D landfill, and no significant changes are proposed to the operation, there is no anticipated increased impact in regards to traffic. The NCDOT concurs with the assessment that the proposed expansion is a continuation of existing conditions at the facility.

Seeing that this is an expansion of an existing facility that has been in operation for several years and that the expansion is not anticipated to change traffic patterns or change the volume of traffic entering and exiting the site, we would like to request certification that the proposed facility will not have a substantial impact on highway traffic per NCGS 130A-295.5.

If you could share the plans with our District Engineer Bobby Liverman, copied on this email, I think he will be able to provide a quick review and confirm from what you've indicated that this isn't needed. This should save you the cost of the TIA. Preliminarily, neither of us think a TIA is necessary for this site. Bobby can be reached at 919-227-6639 if you need to discuss. Thanks for your call.
