Section 2 — Siting Requirements

Section 2 — Siting Requirements
The location of the facility is 13761 Airport Road, Maxton, North Carolina 28364 in Scotland County. The
site is approximately 3 miles to Maxton City Hall. The site is located on an industrial zoned property that
is 26.20 acres with a 219,000 S.F. warehouse. The 110,000 S.F. of the warehouse is occupied by NCOR
and is utilized for NCOR's food recycling and depackaging operations.
The compost operations area will be located on an undeveloped 5-acre portion of the total acreage.
The property has never been used for solid waste management activities.
The compost operations area will maintain the following buffers:
• 50' buffer area from property line
• 200' buffer from residences. The nearest residence is located 1.25 miles from the compost site.
• 100' from wells. The site is served by the Laurinburg Maxton Airport Commission (LMAC) water
system. The LMAC utilizes 6 wells located in various locations on the 1400-acre airport property.
The compost operational area is not located within 100' of any of the LMAC wells.
• 50' of a perennial stream. The compost operational area is approximately 16 miles from the
Lumber River.
• The compost operational area will maintain a 25' buffer (fire lane) from all swales and berms.
The site is not located over a closed -out disposal area.

Section 3 — Design Plan

Section 3 — Design Plan
Acceptable Waste Large Type 2 15A NCAC 13B.1402 (e)(2)
The compost facility may receive Type 1 feedstocks, 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. Sludge, bio-solids and other items are not permissible
in the compost area.
All yard waste brought into the composting area will be used in the compost process. The
compost will be sold to the public and landscapers.
The Compost Facility Manager is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the appropriate compost
personnel operate and maintain the compost area.
Methods for Controlling the Type of Waste Received
All vehicles transporting waste into the Facility are subject to inspection at the scale house
upon entrance to the site and again at the compost area. All pre -consumer food waste that will be
composted will be produced at the NCOR food recycling and depackaging facility located adjacent to the
compost facility. The acceptable food materials are processed to remove all contaminants during the
depackaging process. NCOR accepts pre -consumer food materials that are either recalled, mis-labeled or
expired. The food materials arrive at the NCOR depackaging facility in the original packaging, shrink
wrapped on the original pallet. Food waste will be mixed and placed in an aerated bunker within 24
hours of receipt.
The compost facility will process 75 tons per day of pre -consumer food waste. To achieve the correct
C/N ratio, yard waste will be ground to a 6" minus sizing and mixed with the food waste at a 3 to 1 ratio.
Moisture will be added, if required, until starting mixture reaches 65% moisture.
Composting, or controlled decomposition, requires a proper balance of "green" organic materials and
"brown" organic materials. "Green" organic material includes grass clippings, food scraps, and manure,
which contain large amounts of nitrogen. "Brown" organic materials include dry leaves, wood chips, and
branches, which contain large amounts of carbon but little nitrogen. Obtaining the right nutrient mix
requires experimentation and patience.

Grinding, chipping, and shredding materials increases the surface area on which microorganisms can
feed. Smaller particles also produce a more homogeneous compost mixture and improve pile insulation
to help maintain optimum temperatures. If the particles are too small, however, they might prevent air
from flowing freely through the pile.
As the pile does not receive additional turnings, the selection and initial mixing of raw materials are
critical to avoiding poor air distribution and uneven composting. The pile also needs a good structure to
maintain porosity throughout the entire composting period. This generally requires a stiff bulking agent
such as ground yard waste or wood chips. They are usually screened from the finished compost and
reused as bulking agents for another two or three cycles. This is compensated partially by the drying
that takes place as composting proceeds.
Microorganisms living in a compost pile need enough moisture to survive. Water is the key element that
helps transports substances within the compost pile and makes the nutrients in organic material
accessible to the microbes.
Placing the pile on a series of pipes and including bulking agents such as wood chips help aerate the pile.
Aerating the pile allows decomposition to occur at a faster rate than anaerobic conditions. Care will be
taken, however, not to provide too much oxygen, which can dry out the pile and impede the composting
process.
The aerated static pile method takes the piped aeration system a step further, using a blower to supply
air to the composting materials. The blower provides direct control of the process and allows larger
piles. No turning or agitation of the materials occurs once the pile is formed. When the pile has been
formed properly and where the air supply is sufficient and the distribution uniform, the active
composting period is completed in about 12 to 15 days.
Microorganisms require a certain temperature range for optimal activity. Certain temperatures promote
rapid composting and destroy pathogens and weed seeds. Microbial activity can raise the temperature
of the pile's core to at least 140' F. If the temperature does not increase, anaerobic conditions (i.e.,
rotting) occur. Controlling all four factors will bring about the proper temperature.
The estimate for food waste is 75 tons or 100 cubic yards per day and for yard waste it is 300 cubic yards
daily. Yard waste will be always managed in the yard waste grinding/storage area with an amount 2000
cubic yards in processing/storage.
The design capacity of each indoor aerated static pile bunker is 740 cubic yards (10'H X 20' W X 100' L).
The retention time will be 15 days. This will provide the required time and temperature to meet PFRP
and VAR.
The required air flow rates and the choice of blowers and aeration pipe depend on how aeration is
managed, i.e., how the blower is controlled. The blower can be run intermittently. The process control
system will monitor temperature through a series of temperature sensors.

This is a very simple flow diagram that demonstrates the complete process, (Obviously "borrowed' from
Suez recycling in the UK).
1. Food waste arrives from the NCOR food recycling and depackaging facility.
2. The food waste will be blended with the 6" minus yard waste.
3. It will then be loaded into the indoor aerated static pile bunkers for 12 to 15 days
4. The material will then be taken to curing for 15 days.
5. Screening.

Time and temperature will be monitored through a process control computer system. The control
system, using multiple probes, will monitor and trend the temperature in 3 separate locations within the
aerated bunker. The control system will increase or decrease the flow of air by manipulating the variable
speed motors on each blower. There will be an individual blower system for each of the eight aerated
bunkers. The control system will provide data to support meeting PFRP and VAR either printed or
downloaded to an outside location.
All data will be available on demand.
Disposing of Unpermitted Wastes
Loads determined to be containing waste materials not permissible in the compost area
will be directed to dispose of the waste within a provided container or the Class 1 waste
disposal area.

Methods to minimize, Manage and Monitor Odors
The best way to manage odors is to avoid them in the first place. The report provides best practice
guidance in accordance with the following odor management hierarchy:
1. Odor avoidance during planning (e.g., siting considerations and odor dispersion analysis).
2. Odor avoidance by considering the food waste hierarchy (i.e., finding the most suitable
management option for various organic waste types).
Odor avoidance via optimized facility operations (by using best management practices).
Odor management through optimal composting facility operations mean that operators must maintain
operations within well accepted and documented guidelines. This means ensuring proper
management of:
• The correct C:N ratio.
• Moisture and oxygen content.
• pH.
• Porosity of mix.
• Processing temperature.
• Maintaining aerobic conditions.
In addition to the process itself, there are practices that can reduce the generation of odorous
substances before and after the main composting process is completed. These practices will vary slightly
depending on volumes, types of feedstocks and location and are the following composting steps:
Waste material transport and storage.
Mixing and loading.
Compost processing.
Post processing.
The compost facility will not use any amendments such as lime, wood ash or gypsum in the process.
Dust will be controlled using a water truck. Although the aerated bunker system is indoors, it will be
built to accommodate a front-end loader that will fill and empty each bunker.
The compost facility will be owned and operated by NCOR. NCOR will also be operating the food
recycling and depackaging facility located on the same property. Any materials that may enter the
facility through the acceptance of yard waste, namely cans or bottles, will be added to the recycling
volume that the NCOR depackaging facility generates and then recycled into the commodities markets.
Odor emission monitoring is essential for the successful operation of an organics management facility.
In addition to regular odor sampling and monitoring, staff will be trained to recognize odorous
conditions when they occur during operations and to immediately undertake corrective measures.
The operational area is approximately five (5) acres and will be located on an impermeable surface. This
allows for the heavy equipment to operate year-round. The area is sloped. This helps to eliminate
ponding within the composting area.
The compost area is set on a paved pad that allows for stormwater to run-off and not pond
in the area. The pad slopes gently from northwest to southeast, with stormwater
sheet flowing into a drainage ditch, thence flowing into the properties existing stormwater drainage
10

system.
The active compost area and the receiving/mixing area will be covered by a Clear -Span building.
The facility has been designed to accommodate traffic flow in a safe and efficient manner. All traffic
enters the gate on Pell Drive, flows to the scale house and is directed to the compost area inside the
property. Traffic enters the compost area gate on the side of the compost area. Traffic is routed towards
the material drop-off area. Traffic then flows back to the entrance gate and to the facility gate. The
receiving area is in the receiving portion of the compost area. From there, the waste is shredded
(processed) and placed in an aerated bunker. The facility typically maintains 8 aerated bunkers running
from. The compost is then allowed to cure. Once the compost has cured, it is then screened in the
screening area and the final product is screened for end market sales.

Section 4 — Operation Plan
Composting activities will be conducted in accordance with the N.C. Compost Rules 15A NCAC 136.1400
et seq. and the permit plans and specifications. These documents will be maintained and available for
reference and inspection at the NCOR Compost Facility Office. This plan if updated will be presented to
the NCDEQ for re -approval when facility operations are changed.
Type 2 materials enter the facility through the scale house from Pell Drive and is directed to the
composting area. All vehicles are inspected for type of materials being delivered. If undesirable wastes
which could damage the composting equipment or harm the employees are discovered, they are
directed to a roll -off storage container available in the composting incoming waste area. The roll -off
container can then be deposited at the landfill.
Vehicles enter the fenced area and travel toward the back of the area. The yard waste is
piled by the delivery person. Vehicles then travel back to the entrance exit gate of the compost area.
The hours of operation and types of waste that are accepted or not accepted are posted at the entrance
gate on Pell Drive. Additionally, the hours of operation, permit number and emergency contact numbers
will be noted.
NCOR conducts training and assigns job duties based upon the employees' specific responsibilities. The
major categories are:
• Office personnel
• Licensed Operator
• Supervisors
• Technicians
The office personnel are responsible for general office work, inspection of wastes to determine
classification, charges, and receipts. These personnel also direct customers to the compost area.
These personnel are trained by experienced office personnel, supervisors, and the licensed
Operator
The licensed operator is responsible for the overall operation of the Compost facility. Training is
provided in accordance to NCDEQ requirements and the USCC Compost Operators Training. A copy of
the Operators Training Certificate will be available in the office.
The supervisors ensure that all personnel are trained, that wastes, and recyclables are processed
in accordance with the operating permit, and those wastes are tipped in the appropriate area. The
supervisor also monitors the wastes received for undesirable wastes (infectious, hazardous, etc.)
and advises the licensed operator when unpermitted wastes are received so that the contingency
procedures can be implemented. Supervisors are trained by the licensed operator.
All vehicles transporting waste into the Facility are subject to inspection at the scale house upon
entrance to the site and again at the compost area.
Loads determined to be containing waste materials not permissible in the compost area will be directed
to dispose of the waste within a provided container or refused acceptance and turned away.
13

The compost area is operated by licensed on -site operators in accordance with NCDEQ Regulations.
The compost area is surrounded by a chain link fence with a gate which is locked to prohibit public
access during closed hours.
Site access control is provided by a chain -like fence and gate. The only vehicle entrance to the
compost area is through the gate on Pell Drive. During non -business hours the gate is kept locked to
prevent unauthorized access.
Overall fire protection is provided by the City of Maxton Fire Department. A fire hydrant
Will be located at the southwest corner of the compost area. Fire extinguishers, which are rated
for chemical and wood/paper products, are provided for immediate use. Fire extinguishers
are found on all vehicles and large pieces of equipment. Compost personnel are trained
annually on the safety procedures at the facility. In the event of a fire, the compost area
would be closed until such time that it is determined to be safe for operation. Waste would
be diverted until such time that the facility is operational. Fire extinguishers and water hoses are
available for fighting small fires. For potentially large fires, or fires beyond the scope of on -site
equipment and personnel, the City of Maxton Fire Department will respond
If unapproved wastes are delivered to the compost area, the driver will be directed to deposit the
waste in the provided roll -off container. The waste within the roll -off container is ultimately disposed of
at a licensed landfill.
All unground yard waste will be unloaded at the grinding area. A Doppstadt Eventhor 6 shredder will be
the equipment at the grinding area that will process the yard waste into the acceptable sizing of 6"
minus. This sizing will provide the available carbon and the air space required for the aerated static pile
compost process.
The food waste will be unloaded in the receiving/blending building. A loader will blend the ground yard
waste and food waste at a 3 to 1 ratio of yard waste to food waste to provide the proper C/N ratio. The
blend will be checked for moisture and adjusted to 65% if required.
The blended mixture will be transported by loader to the aerated bunker building. The bunker will have
a layer of ground yard waste placed over the aeration piping prior to the loading of the blended
material. The aeration blower for the specific bunker will be turned on and the material will be
feathered onto the floor of the aerated bunker. Feathering the material onto the floor prevents the
material from compacting and reducing the porosity of the material. Wireless probes will be placed at 3
separate depths in the material. The process control system will be activated, and the monitoring of the
bunker begins. The process control system will be in the licensed operator's office.
All probes will be calibrated on an annual schedule or sooner if required for proper operation.
A forced aeration system can provide adequate cooling to maintain temperatures throughout the
majority of the pile that enable aerobic bacteria to efficiently bio-oxidize feedstocks while minimizing
the creation of odorous compounds.
Many composting processes are inhibited by drying. The relatively short retention time in an effective
forced aeration composting system reduces over -drying. Starting with a well -moistened mix, active
composting finishes before moisture loss significantly inhibits composting. The pile can be top wetted
14

and re -mixed between active and curing composting to uniformly increase moisture levels and consume
captured contact water.
A static aerated system with automated control and monitoring requires no operator intervention and
only 72 hours at or above 131OF to achieve PFRP, whereas a turned windrow system requires 5 turns in
15 days and numerous manual temperature readings.
Compared to a typical turned windrow system, ASP composting reduces material handling, equipment
maintenance, and manual pile monitoring
Active composting can be likened to low temperature combustion, where the carbon -based fuel is the
bio-available fraction of the feedstock and oxidized to produce CO2, water and heat. The process of bio-
oxidation consumes oxygen and the heat generated raises the temperature. Without forced aeration to
limit temperature rise and to resupply oxygen, the bio-oxidation process becomes inhibited (inefficient),
and conditions promote anaerobic oxidation pathways that give rise to strong odors. An efficient
composting process rapidly consumes bio-available carbon and produces heat, which in turn requires
more airflow to avoid thermal inhibition. This is the fundamental reason high airflow aeration systems
are required to sustain efficient composting of energetic feedstocks.
NCOR Compost Facility will use an Advanced ASP that will be able to maintain temperatures and oxygen
levels in the bunkers essential to minimizing air emissions and maximizing composting rates. NCOR's
knowledge of compost systems air handling design included: air conditions (temperature, density, etc.),
required airflow rates, friction losses, flow modelling and the application of automated controls. The
common design characteristics of the NCOR Advanced ASP include a dynamic range of aeration rates
that are automatically controlled based on temperature feedback (biological activity) and a robust
aeration floor where all mechanical elements are embedded and below -grade. The aeration floor
warranted special attention as it has a major impact on both the biological and operational efficiencies
of the composting operation, in addition to being both permanent and expensive to construct. The
aeration mode can be positive, negative (best odor control), or reversing (maximum composting rates).
NCOR ADVANCED ASP System (prior to the addition of the CLEAR -SPAN building)

Section 5 — Odor Control Plan
17

Section 5 — Odor Control Plan
This maintenance -level odor action plan calls for the ongoing monitoring of odors and provides an
action plan for odor abatement.
The objective is to ensure that odor generators continue to maintain their best management practices
and controls to keep odor incidents as low as practicable.
The following plan has been developed by NCOR to be implemented in the event of a "Significant Odor
Incident" (SOI). A SOI is a condition wherein the frequency or intensity of odor complaints is above the
baseline. Such a situation requires review and verification by the licensed operator (LO). Upon
determination that a SOI may have occurred, NCOR staff shall begin the following process:
Preliminary Investigation
1. LO contacts sources of complaint call to confirm if the odors are still being observed
and alleged source of odors.
2. LO investigates the compost facility for potential sources of the odors to determine if, in the potential
source's, opinion there is a reason for the odor complaints, or if there have been any changes in
operations near the time of the complaints that could have been the reason for the odor complaints,
3. Based on the results of the above contacts and a preliminary analysis of the situation,
LO will decide if odor frequency indicates that facility is not following best management practices
(BMPs) and may proceed to the next step of the Plan.
NCOR Response Plan
1. Facility office receives report of SOI.
2. LO is alerted.
3. Facility immediately examines on -site activities and obtains weather satellite information to
determine likelihood of being the odor -causing agent.
4. If possible, odor -producing agent, facility implements the following options:
a. Immediately suspends the suspected odor -causing activity/operation (s).
b. Implements odor control measures (i.e. mister device).
c. Review operation to determine causation and future preventive steps.
5. If unlikely odor -producing agent, facility continues operations but reviews possible odor
2. generating procedures to preclude potential incidents. Provide finding to odor
complaint caller, or any official that has been contacted.
If needed, LO will conduct debriefing on findings from alleged source and regulatory agencies to
determine cause and develop recommendations to prevent future recurrences.
1. A subsequent session with staff may be conducted to share information and
update plans to minimize future episodes.
2. All findings, actions, and recommendations to be filed for use during any subsequent
episodes.

Section 6 — Financial Assurance
Closure Plan
19

Section 6 — Closure Plan
This Closure Plan addresses the activities, schedule, and estimated cost required to close the
Facility by a third -party contractor as required by the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NCDEQ). This plan includes a description of those activities required to bring the facility
and equipment to a sanitary condition in the event of the facility closure, including the final
cleaning of any containers, equipment, machines, floors, and facility surfaces. This plan also
includes a description of the final disposal of any discharge or waste generated from the cleaning
activates of the facility.
The Facility closure will consist of removing all material from the site, cleaning the compost pad
and equipment, and any other necessary procedures to bring the facility to a sanitary condition
The NCDEQ will be notified at least sixty days prior to any planned removal, closure or
abandonment of any waste storage structure.
Within 10 days of ceasing operations, all piles of compost, wood chips, leaves, grass clippings,
and accumulated tree trimmings will be removed from the site and taken to a suitable Class 1 or
4 landfills for final disposal. If any of the wood chips or other materials is approved as re -use
material, such as an alternate daily cover, this material could be stockpiled and sent to a landfill for
future use. It is anticipated that the materials will be disposed of in the adjacent municipal solid
waste landfill or used by the City of Fort Smith Parks and Recreation Department as landscaping
material.
Upon removal of all stored or stockpiled material from the site, a final cleaning of all containers,
equipment, machines, and surfaces that have come in contact with composting materials will be
cleaned. This would be performed by placing all equipment, such as front-end loaders and trucks,
on the compost pad and hosing them down. Material washed from the equipment will be conveyed
to the stormwater sump and then into the wastewater plant for treatment. After washing of equipment,
the compost pad itself will be washed if necessary to remove any remaining materials.
This will complete the cleaning operations, and the compost site will then be ready for unrestricted
use in another capacity.
