1. Introduction
1.1 General
This document is the Operations Plan (the Plan) for the Currituck Transfer and Recovery Facility
(the transfer station) located in Powells Point, North Carolina and owned and operated by Bay
Disposal, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Connections, Inc. The Plan serves as a guide to
the owner and operator with respect to operations of the transfer station.
1.2 Purpose
The Plan is intended to serve as a site reference and is considered a training document for site
personnel. Every employee should be acquainted with its contents and location on the site.
This Plan has been prepared in accordance with Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative
Code (NCAC) Chapter 13B Section .0404 and .0405. in response to readoption of 15A NCAC 13B
.0400 on January 1, 2021 by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
1.3 Reference Documents
This Plan constitutes a portion of the Permit to Operate. Other documents pertinent to transfer
station operations include, but are not limited to:
■ The Permit to Operate (2706-TRANSFER-2013);
■ 15A NCAC 13B —Solid Waste Management;
■ 15A NCAC 04 — Erosion and Sediment Control;
■ 15A NCAC 02D .0540 — Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources;
■ North Carolina General Statutes (G.S.) 130A-290;
■ G.S. 130A-309; and,
■ Chapter 9, Article II of the Count of Currituck, North Carolina Code of Ordinances —
Noise Control.
15A NCAC 13B .0400 (Appendix A) and all conditions of the Permit to Operate as amended by
DEQ-approved variances shall take precedence and be complied with by transfer station
personnel if there is an actual or perceived contradiction with the text of this plan. The District
Manager (DM) shall be familiar with DEQ regulations and the transfer station permit.
2. Facility Operations
2.1 Location
The street and mailing address for the transfer station is 8546 Caratoke Highway, Powells Point,
NC 27909. The general location of the site has been annotated on the USGS Topography Map in
Figure 1 of Appendix B. A facility map (Figure 2) is also included in Appendix B. The transfer station
building occupies approximately 0.29 acres of the 5.3-acre parcel of property. Access to the facility
is from a paved entrance road off Caratoke Highway.
2.2 Facility Description
The site includes a free-standing metal transfer station building, one scale for incoming and
outbound loads, an office building that houses the scale house, and sufficient parking for visitors
and employees.
Page 4 of 37

The building has concrete push walls adjacent to the exterior walls on the southeast and
southwest sides. The northwest side of the building is completely open.
The scale house is located approximately 200-ft northeast of the scale. (Note that though the
previous scale house trailer is still shown adjacent to the scale in Figure 2, demolition of the trailer
is forecasted for 2022.) Scale measurements are visible from the scale house. After recording
weights, the Scale House Attendant signals the waste vehicles with green and red lights mounted
on both ends of the scale or uses the intercom or radios. Incoming waste collection vehicles dump
construction and demolition debris (C&D) and recyclable materials directly onto the tipping floor.
A loader equipped with a grapple attachment transfers the waste into open top trailers specifically
designed for hauling waste. These trailers are parked inside the building during loading.
A leachate collection/containment system is not installed at this facility. As this transfer station
does not handle municipal solid waste (MSW), was permitted without the requirement for a
leachate collection system and has not changed operations since the issuance of the permits,
continuing to operate without a leachate collection system is acceptable.
The access road and office parking lot are paved and, the balance of the property is constructed
with compacted aggregate. Site stormwater run-off is conveyed via sheet flow across the parking
areas into the holding ponds located near the office building and behind the transfer station.
The DM, Jeremy Savage, is responsible for all transfer station operations and is the primary
contact person for issues concerning operation of the transfer station.
2.3 Transfer Station Operations
This transfer station serves Currituck, Dare, Camden, Pasquotank, and Perquimans Counties with
a waste stream comprised of C&D and recyclables.
The facility accepts material from 7am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday and from 7am to 12pm
on Saturday. The facility is closed on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
Maintenance or improvement construction may be accomplished outside of these hours. A sign
is posted at the entrance to the transfer station identifying the hours of operation.
2.3.1 Personnel and Training
The transfer station operations are supervised by the DM or an appropriately trained
designee. In addition to the DM, at least one Scale House Attendant, one Equipment
Operator, and one Laborer are required for daily operations.
Per 15A NCAC 13B .0405 and as described in General Statutes (G.S.) 130A-309.25, at least
one employee who has tested and maintained certification through the North Carolina
Operators Certification Program will be onsite during operations. Exam results and annual
continuing education unit documentation will be kept on site in accordance with the
record keeping procedure described Chapter 11 of this plan.
All staff will be provided with at least 8 hours of training annually (usually on a monthly
basis) that will include review of this plan, permit documents, safety procedures, fire
prevention, emergency response, and inspection of incoming wastes among other topics.
Page 5 of 37

Training documentation will be included in the operative record and may be provided to
DEQ upon request.
2.3.2 Tipping Floor Operations
Collection vehicles delivering acceptable waste to the transfer station will enter the
facility at the main gate off Caratoke Highway. The collection vehicles are required to
measure incoming weights at the scale and identify their waste type — recyclable or C&D.
Once vehicles have passed the scale house area, they continue until they reach the proper
area within the transfer station as specified by the Scale House Attendant or as indicated
on signs. The transfer station attendant will direct unloading vehicles onto the tipping
floor when sufficient room to maneuver is available. The vehicles will back onto the
tipping floor and discharge waste directly onto the tipping floor, completely under the
transfer station roof. The vehicle will then return to the scales for outbound weight
measurement. The waste will be placed in open -top transfer trailers parked inside the
transfer station.
When several vehicles are at the transfer station, haulers will be instructed to wait at
adjacent to the transfer area until there is sufficient room at the tipping floor. The size of
the tipping floor allows up to three trucks to unload simultaneously. At no time will trucks
be allowed to queue onto Caratoke Highway.
Most waste deposited at this transfer station is delivered to the landfill and processing
facilities listed below.
Non -recyclable C&D:
• Hampton Roads Recovery Center Landfill (1613 Centerville Turnpike,
Virginia Beach, VA 23464)
Recyclables:
• Recycling and Disposal Solutions of Virginia (3325 Frederick Boulevard,
Portsmouth, VA 23704)
• Wheelabrator (3809 Elm Avenue, Portsmouth, VA 23704)
• Bay Disposal & Recycling (301 E Street, Hampton, VA 23606)
• TFC Recycling (1958 Diamond Hill Road, Chesapeake, VA 23324)
• American Recycling Center (10220 Residency Road, Manassas, VA 20109)
If these destinations change, a written notification of change to another properly
permitted site will be provided to the appropriate local and state government agencies.
The tipping floor will be cleared of all wastes at the end of each working day. Trailers may
be loaded with waste overnight. The maximum hold time for loaded trailers is 24 hours.
A maximum of 180 tons (approximately 9 trailer loads) are permitted onsite at one time
and will be kept under cover.
2.3.3 Inspection of Wastes
Transfer station personnel are trained to screen every incoming waste load for the
unauthorized materials listed in Chapter 3 Waste Acceptance Criteria. Employees remain
Page 6 of 37

alert for containers bearing hazardous waste symbols, waste items emitting smoke,
unusual odors, fumes, or vapors, red medical waste bags, and wastes that react with
surrounding materials. If unauthorized or suspect waste is discovered at the facility,
employees follow the Receipt of Unauthorized Waste procedure described in Section 3.4.
To ensure that only waste types for which the transfer station is permitted to receive are
accepted, the following types of inspections are performed.
1. Initial verbal verification and visual inspection.
Access to the transfer station is controlled by the Scale House Attendant located at
the entrance to the facility. All waste entering the facility must pass the scale house
prior to entering the tipping floor area. An initial verification of the contents of the
waste load is conducted by the Scale House Attendant before the load is allowed to
make its way to the tipping floor.
Every open -top roll off container will be inspected using a camera mounted above the
scales, where incoming vehicles must stop for weighing.
2. Continuous inspection.
As waste is deposited onto the tipping floor, Equipment Operators continually
conduct visual inspections of the waste materials.
3. Random inspection.
At least 5% of the average daily waste tonnage reported in the site's annual report
for the previous year is selected at random for a thorough visual inspection of the
waste materials every day. If selected for a random load inspection, vehicles are
directed to discharge material in the designated waste screening area where the
waste will be spread out. A manager or supervisor wearing appropriate personal
protective equipment, will visually examine the waste to determine if unauthorized
waste is present.
A Random Load Inspection Form (see Appendix C) is completed for each waste load
inspected. Copies are maintained in the facility's operating record for a minimum of
five years and are available for review by DEQ.
The transfer station maintains the right to reject any material not meeting the site's waste
acceptance criteria. Should unacceptable waste be found, the driver of the vehicle will be
instructed to terminate unloading, and the unacceptable waste will be reloaded for
removal from the site.
Waste collection agreements on file for each of the waste delivery accounts allows the
Transfer Station Attendant to maintain accountability for the different haulers utilizing
the site. Should a hauler consistently deliver unacceptable material, they will be denied
further access to the transfer station, and the Mooresville office of DEQ will be notified
so that appropriate investigations can be conducted if necessary.

2.3.4 Traffic Control
Access to the transfer station is controlled by the Scale House Attendant. All vehicles
arriving at the facility are directed to the tipping floor by the Scale House Attendant after
their weight is recorded. The Scale House Attendant directs the vehicle to the appropriate
unloading area based on their waste type. At no time will incoming vehicles be allowed
to queue onto public highways or city streets.
Empty trailers and vehicles picking up empty roll -off containers from the back storage lot
may use the back entrance to the facility.
2.3.5 Housekeeping
2.3.5.1 Control of Windblow Litter
To prevent the generation of windblown litter, all incoming waste vehicles are
required to have their loads full enclosed or covered upon arrival at the site.
Outbound transfer trailers cover their loads prior to leaving the property. Best
practices will also be utilized to limit litter onsite. These techniques included
shortening stay times of waste on the tipping floor and utilizing closed containers as
much as possible.
Site features such as the covered tipping floor and perimeter fencing help capture
windblown litter. Transfer station personnel or temporary laborers shall conduct daily
inspections for windblown waste on the site property. Windblown litter from site
operations discovered during the daily inspections or observed on adjacent
properties shall be picked up and containerized for disposal by the end of each
operating day unless the landowner of the adjacent property denies access to site
staff.
2.3.5.2 Dust Control
The transfer station will not allow fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to
substantive complaints (complaints that are verified by the Division with physical
evidence). The surfaces from the interior edge of the paved parking lot to the
concrete tipping floor are constructed with all weather, compacted gravel. Dust
generated by truck traffic will be controlled through the application of water and/or
dust -allaying products as needed.
2.5.3.3 Periodic Cleaning
All waste shall be removed from the tipping floor and from behind push walls by the
end of each day of operation.
The tipping floor and push walls shall be cleaned with a pressure washer no less than
once per month.
The remaining areas of the transfer station building including side walls shall be
cleaned with a pressure washer no less than twice per year.
A third -party service will provide the monthly and biannual cleaning and will utilize
wet vacuums to capture liquids as necessary to ensure leachate is not released to the
environment.
Page 8 of 37

Cleaning records will be maintained and made available to DEQ upon written request.
3. Waste Acceptance Criteria
3.1 Acceptable Wastes and Disposal Locations
The transfer station is permitted to accept C&D as defined in G.S. 130A-290(a)(4). Per the G.S.
inert debris, land -clearing debris, and yard debris are specifically excluded from C&D. Also
excluded are municipal and industrial waste that may be generated by on -going operations.
The transfer station will accept approximately 500 tons of waste per day, approximately 80% of
which will be recycled. Disposal sites are listed in section 2.3.2.
Incoming waste is primarily transported to the transfer station by private waste haulers. These
vehicles (operated by private waste haulers) consist of rear, front, and side loader truck types.
Commercial waste will also be transported to the facility by private waste haulers.
In accordance with G.S. 130A-309.10(f), the following wastes will not be transferred for landfilling
but may be accepted at the transfer station for alternative processes on a limited basis:
• White goods
• Whole tires
• Used oil
• Lead -acid batteries
• Antifreeze
• Motor vehicle oil filters
• Oyster shells
• Discarded computer equipment

• C&D waste generated outside of Currituck, Dare, Camden, Pasquotank, and Perquimans
Counties
3.3 Preventing Unauthorized Wastes
The transfer station utilizes multiple techniques to prevent disposal of unauthorized waste
including the following.
• Customer notification and education.
Customers and potential customers are notified which waste types are accepted at the
facility. A sign is posted at the facility entrance that informs users of the approved and
unapproved materials.
• Employee training and awareness.
Despite customer education efforts, some users may knowingly or unknowingly dispose
of unauthorized material at the transfer station. Site personnel are trained to respond in
these eventualities. The training program addresses recognition and management of
unauthorized materials in the incoming waste stream. The transfer station has also
established response and reporting procedures for receipt of unauthorized waste.
• The waste load inspection program (see Subsection 2.3.3).
3.4 Receipt of Unauthorized Wastes
If suspicious material is identified on the tipping floor or in a vehicle in the process of unloading,
the following procedure will be followed.
• Employees will clear the area and immediately notify the supervisor or DM.
o Employees are not permitted to move or otherwise handle wastes suspected to
be hazardous without instruction from the supervisor or DM.
o Employees will notify the supervisor or DM immediately if they experience any of
the following:
■ Dizziness or nausea
■ Burning or itching of eyes, skin, nose, or throat
■ Shortness of breath
■ Other signs of illness
• The supervisor or DM will assess the situation and coordinate support as needed
potentially including the following:
o Call 911 if the waste presents an immediate threat to human health or the
environment.
o Distribute appropriate PPE to employees.
o Contact division management and the environmental department.
o Retain the waste hauler if still on the premises.
Page 10 of 37

• When directed by the supervisor or DM, Operators will segregated and adequately
contain the suspect waste to prevent leakage and contamination of other wastes and the
environment.
• When the waste generator or transporter can be identified, they will be contacted to
remove the waste.
• If the generator or transporter cannot be identified, the transfer station will properly
remove and dispose of hazardous waste, regulated medical waste, or other prohibited
materials as required by applicable regulations as soon as practicable, but no longer than
90 days after discovery. Removal will be performed by an entity authorized to transport
the materials to a waste management facility permitted to treat, dispose of, or transfer
the waste.
o All containers of suspect waste will be kept in good condition. All compatible
suspect wastes will be stored on a sealed surface and in a single, covered area to
protect the containers from weather exposure. Sufficient space around each
container will be maintained to allow for complete inspection of containers for
leaks, spills, corrosion, etc.
o Suspect wastes will never be poured on open ground, in storm drains, or in shop
drains. Hazardous and non -hazardous wastes will never be mixed.
o If medical waste is encountered, all surfaces that contacted the waste (including
transfer station equipment) will be decontaminated using household bleach.
Affected areas will be thoroughly covered with bleach for at least one minute
then hosed off. At least 10 gallons of household bleach must be kept onsite at all
times for this purpose.
• If first responders arrive onsite, all personnel will follow their instructions.
• The supervisor or DM will document each unauthorized waste incident listed in the table
below. Photographs of the unauthorized waste will be included in the incident report.
Upon request, the waste hauler may be sent a copy of the report.

hazard warning label or symbol, sealed drums, red medical waste bags, and wastes emitting
smoke, unusual odors, fumes, or vapors.
• The DM or supervisor will notify DEQ within 24 hours of discovery of the unauthorized
waste. A written report, including a description of the event, the cause of the event, the
Page 11 of 37

time and date of the event, and response actions taken will be submitted to DEQ within
5 working days of discovery of the unauthorized waste.
• Any hauler who delivers unacceptable waste will be charged for the cost of properly
disposing of the waste. If the same hauler consistently delivers unacceptable material,
they will be denied further access to the transfer station, and DEQ will be notified so that
appropriate investigations can be conducted as necessary.
4. Drainage and Erosion Control
During development or construction activities, standard erosion and sediment control practices in
accordance with City and State requirements will be implemented. The transfer station will maintain all
permanent erosion and sediment control measures established during site development.
Fresh asphalt millings or crushed concrete is added to unpaved portions of the yard annually to prevent
ponding and to maintain the existing grades of the site.
5. Ground and Surface Water Protection
The transfer station has been constructed to minimize stormwater contact with waste. All waste transfer
activities are performed under a roof and the tipping floor slopes away from the open side of the building.
In addition, all vehicles and containers being used for waste shall be maintained to be leak resistant (i.e.,
constructed and maintained to prevent the escape of solid, semi -solid, or liquid waste). The transfer
station will also ensure the following standards are met:
• All surfaces that contact waste will be smooth and non -absorbent.
• All drain holes and valves will be closed, plugged, or sealed.
• The vehicles and containers will be equipped with seals, gaskets, etc. as specified by the
manufacturers. Such devices will be maintained and replaced in accordance with manufacturer's
specifications.
• The waste holding areas of vehicles and containers will be free of holes, cracks, rusting, corrosion,
or other evidence of damage that could allow leaks.
• The vehicles and containers will be serviced, repaired, and cleaned to preserve the integrity of the
door seal, to prevent the accumulation of mechanical fluids, dirt, leachate, and waste particulates
on the vehicle's exterior and to prevent contamination of the environment by fluids.
Site stormwater runoff is conveyed via sheet flow across the parking areas. A Spill Prevention,
Countermeasure, and Control Plan (SPCC) and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) have been
prepared for the site, are included in the annual training for all transfer station personnel and will be
complied with at all times.
6. Vector, Odor, and Noise Control
6.1 Vector Control
The transfer station will provide effective vector control measures to protect human health and
the environment. Vectors include rodents, flies, mosquitoes, and other animals and insects
capable of transmitting diseases to humans.
Page 12 of 37

Control of vectors will be maintained by implementing the cleaning operations described in
Subsection 2.5.3.3. The removal of waste at the end of each operating day protects the facility
against migration of vectors into and from the transfer station. The transfer station may also
utilize insecticides to maintain vector control. Stagnant ponded water will be protected from
mosquito breeding. If problems controlling vectors occur, a pest control professional will be
contracted.
6.2 Odor Control
The transfer station will implement sufficient odor management practices to prevent odorous
emissions from the facility that could cause or contribute to objectionable odors beyond the
property. Such practices include prompt unloading, loading, and transfer of all delivered wastes
at the transfer station, the cleaning program described in Subsection 2.5.3.3, and limiting waste
storage. The only time waste is stored at the transfer station is when a transfer trailer is loaded
at the end of the day and must wait until the disposal site reopens the following day or at the end
of a weekend or holiday. In such cases, the waste will be stored in covered transfer trailers of roll -
off boxes to limit odor emissions and vector interactions. Note that exchange of fresh air is
ensured by the open side of the transfer station building.
6.3 Noise Control
Noise created at the transfer station is a result of vehicular traffic and operation of heavy
equipment. In accordance with Chapter 9, Article II of the County of Currituck Code of Ordinances,
noise at the transfer station property lines will not be permitted to exceed 70 dB at any time. If a
noise complaint is received, the facility will measure sound levels per the guidance in the local
ordinance including:
• Sound level measurement shall be made with a sound level meter using the A -weighting
scale, set on "slow" response.
• Sound level meters shall be at least Type II meeting American National Standards Institute
S1.4-1971 requirements. Persons using the sound level meters shall be trained in sound
level measurement and the operation of sound level measurement equipment.
• Noise shall be measured at the back of the curb, the outside edges of driveways, fences,
hedges, or other physical features commonly associated with property boundaries.
• Motor vehicle sound levels shall be measured 25 feet from the vehicle and at a height of
at 4 ft above the surrounding surface.
Vehicle mufflers will comply with the following rules listed in the local ordinance.
(a) Only vehicles equipped with an exhaust system free from defects which affect sound
reduction may be operated.
(b) No person shall remove or render inoperative any muffler or vehicular sound dissipative
device other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement.
(c) Motor vehicle exhaust systems shall not be modified by installing a muffler cutout or bypass,
and no person shall operate a motor vehicle which has been so modified.
Noise generated by safety signals and warning devices (including vehicle back up alarms) are
exempt for these requirements.

1.0 Introduction
This Closure Plan (Plan) has been prepared for Bay Disposal — Currituck Transfer and Recovery Facility
(Facility) in Powells Point, North Carolina. The Plan serves as a guide and schedule for the owners and
operators of the solid waste transfer station regarding Facility closure.
1.1 Purpose
The Plan has been developed for the Facility in accordance with 15A North Carolina Administrative
Code (NCAC) 13B .0404(j) and .0406 to list financial assurance for the Facility, the closure
activities, and a schedule for notifications and activities. The Plan is intended to serve as a specific
site reference for closure procedures. Employees should be familiar with the contents of the Plan
and the on -site location of the Plan.
1.2 Regulations
The District Manager (DM) should be familiar with the requirements of the Facility permit granted
by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the following DEQ
regulations:
• 15A NCAC 13B .1800 — Financial Assurance Requirements for Solid Waste
Management Facilities
• North Carolina General Statute (G.S.):
o G.S.130A-310.71(e)
o G.S.143B-279.10
Regulation 15A NCAC 13B .0406 and the current Permit to Operate as modified by DEQ-approved
variances shall take precedence upon any actual or perceived contradiction with this Plan. A copy
of the 15A NCAC 13B regulations current as of July 2022 are included as Appendix A.
2.0 Facility Description
The transfer station building occupies approximately 0.29 acres of the 5.3-acre parcel of property. The
site includes a free-standing metal transfer station building, one scale for incoming and outbound loads,
an office building that houses the scale house, and sufficient parking for visitors and employees. The
building has concrete push walls adjacent to the exterior walls on the southeast and southwest sides. The
northwest side of the building is completely open.
The scale house is located approximately 200-ft northeast of the scale. (Note that though the previous
scale house trailer is still shown adjacent to the scale in Figure 2, demolition of the trailer is forecasted for
2022.) Scale measurements are visible from the scale house. After recording weights, the Scale House
Attendant signals the waste vehicles with green and red lights mounted on both ends of the scale or uses
the intercom or radios. Incoming waste collection vehicles dump construction and demolition debris
(C&D) and recyclable materials directly onto the tipping floor. A loader equipped with a grapple
attachment transfers the waste into open top trailers specifically designed for hauling waste. These
trailers are parked inside the building during loading.
Page 3 of 18

A leachate collection/containment system is not installed at this facility. As this transfer station does not
handle municipal solid waste (MSW), was permitted without the requirement for a leachate collection
system and has not changed operations since the issuance of the permits, continuing to operate without
a leachate collection system is acceptable.
The access road and office parking lot are paved and, the balance of the property is constructed with
compacted aggregate. Site stormwater run-off is conveyed via sheet flow across the parking areas into
the holding ponds located near the office building and behind the transfer station.
2.1 Location
The street and mailing address for the transfer station is 8546 Caratoke Highway, Powells Point,
NC 27909. The general location of the site has been annotated on the USGS Topography Map in
Figure 1 of Appendix B. A facility map (Figure 2) is also included in Appendix B. The transfer station
building occupies approximately 0.29 acres of the 5.3-acre parcel of property. Access to the facility
is from a paved entrance road off Caratoke Highway.
3.0 Facility Closure Activities
The Facility will be considered "closed" if the owner has determined that the transfer station no longer
intends to accept waste, or if the Facility is forced into early closure by DEQ. The Site Manager should
inform all waste haulers that the Facility is preparing for closure and will no longer be accepting waste.
The Site Manager should provide the closing date and alternative disposal sites to all parties who may be
affected by closure. Closure activities should ensure public safety and protection of the environment.
3.1 Personnel
The facility will provide adequately trained personnel for the closure of the Facility in accordance
with G.S. 130A-309.25. All transfer station closure activities will be supervised by the owner
and/or Site Manager. A summary of Facility management and their responsibilities is provided
below.
District Manager Responsibilities:
It is the Facilities District Manager's responsibility to address any issues concerning the transfer
station. The District Manager is also responsible for contracted transfer station operations,
including Facility closure.
District Manager: Emmett Moore
Phone Number: [phone]
Office Address: 2224 Springfield Avenue, Norfolk, VA 23523

Office Address: 8546 Caratoke Highway, Powells Point, NC 27909
3.2 Waste Removal Procedures
All remaining solid waste and materials at the Facility shall be removed prior to closure in
accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0406. In the event of Facility closure, a third -party will be hired
to remove all on -site waste, including any recyclables and/or special wastes being stored for
removal. The hired third -party will conduct all waste loading, hauling, and off -site disposal.
Additionally, the hired third -party will temporarily store any identified unacceptable waste in an
appropriate storage container located at the Facility. The hired third -party will either directly
dispose of the waste or contract a specialist to characterize and dispose of the waste.
3.3 Facility Cleaning Procedures
The Property should be cleaned of all litter, used or unused containers, tanks, and waste bins. The
tipping floor and the area behind the push walls will be cleared of wastes before Facility closure.
No wastes are allowed to remain on the transfer station tipping floor.
The tipping floor and the area behind the push walls will be cleaned with a pressure washer before
Facility closure. The remaining areas of the site building will also be cleaned with a pressure
washer. Wash water generated from cleaning waste handling areas will be collected and removed
as leachate. All cleaning and maintenance records from Facility closure activities shall be
maintained.
3.4 Safety Requirements
The Facility will implement safe and secure closure practices at all times. Unauthorized Facility
access is prevented by using locked gates and fences during closed hours of operation. A chain
link fence surrounds the property and prevents unauthorized vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Lighting installed around the Facility is adequate and provides a safe working environment.
During Facility closure activities, a sign will be posted at the entrance of the Facility that identifies
the name of the operator of the site, emergency contact information, the number of the Permit
to Operate, and warning against Facility trespassing, illegal dumping, and/or vandalism. The sign
will be constructed of weather -resistant material so that the information is legible at all times.
The following contact information should be used in the event of a Facility emergency:
• Transfer Station Site Manager (Jeremy Savage)
Phone Number — [phone]
• Lower Currituck Volunteer Fire Department Station 1
Phone Number — [phone] OR 911
• Nags Head Police Department
Phone Number — [phone] OR 911

5.0 Closure Cost Estimates
The closure cost estimate for the Facility was prepared in support of financial assurance, as required by
15A NCAC 13B .0404. A third party will be hired in the event of Facility closure.
A financial assurance mechanism allowable per 15A NCAC 13B .1805 should be secured to cover third -
party debris removal and facility clean up in the event that the Facility is forced into early closure. The
mechanism of choice should be submitted to the NCDEQ Division of Waste Management as original signed
hard copies.
The closure cost estimate calculation includes the maximum tonnage of permitted waste allowed at the
Facility and the cost per ton of third -party waste loading, hauling, and disposal of waste to the nearest
Page 6 of 18

Division facility. Additionally, the hired third -party will be instructed to prepare for the removal of six (6)
days of incoming waste. The estimated closure costs are $36,432.
The cost estimate for the financial instrument must be updated annually. There should be no post -closure
monitoring or other requirements associated with the facility.
