1.3 FACILITY OPERATIONS
1.3.1 Facility Operating Hours
This transfer station is primarily a backup station for the Black Creek Road
Transfer Station (Permit No. 98-08T), and will not operate unless necessary to
handle unusually high waste volume associated with natural disasters or closure
of the Black Creek Road facility. Waste will be received between 9:00 A.M. to
4:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. The facility will be closed on Saturday and
Sunday and on holidays as designated by the Operator. The Operator may elect
to modify these hours from time to time.
Operating hours provided herein are defined as the gate hours, when the facility
is open to the public. The Operator may elect to modify these hours periodically
or may need additional time during the work day to accommodate other
activities. As such, the following activities may occur outside of operating hours:
Facility maintenance and cleanup;
Receipt of waste controlled by the facility Owner (i.e. commercial collection
routes); and
Transfer of loaded trailers and staging of empty trailers.
When work occurs outside of operating hours, the Operator is responsible for
providing the appropriate resources including equipment and personnel as
defined in Section 1.3.3 and Section 1.3.4.
1.3.2 Service Area
The Wilson Transfer Station facility is permitted to receive Municipal Solid Waste
(MSW) and Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials and not subject to
service area restrictions, provided the receiving permitted disposal site is
approved by franchise or local government approval to accept MSW or C&D from
the geographical area(s) of the waste origin.
1.3.3 Personnel Requirements
At least one member of the supervisory staff will be certified as a Transfer
Station Operations Specialist by the Solid Waste Association of North America
(SWANA). Each transfer station employee will go through an annual training
course (led by supervisory staff). As part of this training, personnel will learn to
recognize loads that may contain prohibited wastes.
The anticipated personnel requirements for operation and maintenance of the
site are listed in Table 1. The number of site personnel can be adjusted based
upon volume of waste received for recovery and transfer.

1.4 ACCESS CONTROL
Limiting access to the solid waste management facility is important for the following
reasons:
• Unauthorized and illegal dumping of waste materials is prevented.
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 4
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
Trespassing, and injury resulting therefrom, is discouraged.
The risk of vandalism is greatly reduced.
Access to active areas of the transfer station will be controlled by a combination of
fences and natural barriers, and strictly enforced operating hours. An attendant will be
on duty at all times when the facility is open for public use to enforce access restrictions.
1.4.1 Phvsical Restraints
The site will be accessed by an entrance on Contentnea Road as shown on
Figure 2. Scales, scale house and offices are provided near the entrance. All
waste will have been weighed prior to being processed on site. The entrance will
have a gate that will be securely locked during non -operating hours.
1.4.2 Security
The Wilson Transfer Station facility is secured by fencing, locked gates, and
natural buffers. Frequent inspections of the gates and fences will be performed
by the facility personnel. Evidence of trespassing, vandalism, or illegal operation
will be reported to the Owner in order to coordinate the repair or replacement of
the damaged property and to ensure the integrity of the facility's security.
1.5 SIGNAGE
A prominent sign(s) containing information required by the DWM will be placed at the
main facility entrance. This sign(s) will provide information on the operating hours,
operating procedures, and acceptable wastes. Additional signage will be provided as
necessary within the facility to distinctly identify the roadway to the transfer station
tipping floor and trailer loading area. Service and maintenance roads for use by
operations personnel will be clearly marked and barriers (e.g., traffic cones, barrels,
etc.) will be provided as required.
1.6 COMMUNICATIONS
The scale house/office has telephones in case of emergency and to conduct day-to-day
business. Emergency telephone numbers are displayed in the scale house office.
l.� FIRE CONTROL
Although no open burning of waste is allowed at the facility, the possibility of fire within
the processing and storage areas, or with a piece of equipment must be anticipated in
the daily operation of the facility. The operator will provide fire suppression equipment
to control accidental fires and arrangements will be made with the local fire protection
agency. The transfer station facility will be equipped with hose bibs or portable fire
extinguishers located on each wall of the facility. A combination of factory installed fire
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 5
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
suppression systems and/or portable fire extinguishers will be operational on all heavy
pieces of equipment at all times. For larger and more serious outbreaks, the local fire
department will respond.
1.?.l Fire Tetrahedron'
To better understand the properties of fire we can
examine the fundamental methods to extinguish it.
The fire "tetrahedron" illustrates the rule that in
order to ignite and burn, each component
represents a property of flaming fire; fuel, oxygen,
heat, and chemical chain reaction. A fire is
prevented or extinguished by removing any one of
them. A fire naturally occurs when the elements
are combined in the right mixture (e.g., more heat needed for igniting some
fuels, unless there is concentrated oxygen). The fire tetrahedron is a more
modern adaptation of the traditional fire "triangle" recognizing the chemical
reactions that may occur as a component - "the uninhibited chain reaction". This
chain reaction is the feedback of heat to the fuel to produce the gaseous fuel
used in the flame. In other words, the chain reaction provides the heat necessary
to maintain the fire. These principles are integral in the prevention and
management of potential fire situations. Please note this information is
considered as a basis of understanding and may be superseded by the direction
and skill of the local Fire Marshall.
1.?.2 Equipment
A combination of factory installed fire suppression systems and/or portable fire
extinguishers will be operational on all pieces of heavy equipment at all times.
Potential fire hazards are created from the build-up of fine, dry dust particles on
and around operational motors and control panels. The presence of these build-
ups can cause overheating and potential fire if periodic equipment cleaning and
maintenance are not practiced. A combination of factory installed fire
suppression systems and/or portable fire extinguishers will be operational on all
pieces of heavy equipment at all times. Portable fire extinguishers should be
maintained in a state of readiness on each piece of moving equipment and
equipment should be cleaned periodically.
1.?.3 General Fire Management Strategies
Each fire situation is site specific; however, general strategies for active fire
management include the following (in no particular order):
1 National Fire Protection Association (www.nfpa.org)
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 6
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
• Accelerated high temperature combustion (displacing fuel);
• Covering of the burn area with foams (reduce oxygen);
• Flooding the burn area with water (reduce heat);
• Injecting an inert gas such as CO2 (reduce oxygen); and
• Applying extinguishing agents that will interfere with and inhibit the
combustion process at the molecular level (breaking the chemical
reaction).
1.?.4 Fires within the Transfer Station or in Transfer Trailers
Fires within the transfer station or in transfer trailers will be limited by the
control of "hot" loads entering the facility. Facility personnel at the scale house
will turn away all vehicles containing waste that is suspected to be hot. If
smoldering or burning waste is discovered on the tipping floor, then the waste
will be segregated, spread as thin as possible, and the fire will be extinguished.
No "hot" material will be loaded onto transfer trailers.
Transfer trailer fires are uncommon, but may occur when open trailers are
loosely loaded with combustible waste materials. If smoke or fire is observed in
a loaded waste transfer trailer, the fire must be immediately reported to the Site
Manager. If possible, the load should be immediately doused with water from
the tipping floor. If possible, the transfer trailer should be slowly moved from the
loading bay to at least 100 feet away from the building, and disconnected from
the truck cab. The Site Manager will evaluate the situation and response, and, if
necessary, call 911.
1.?.5 Notification
The Owner will verbally notify the DWM (see Section 1.2.3) within 24 hours of
discovery of a fire. In addition, written documentation describing the fire, the
actions carried out to extinguish the fire, and a strategy for preventing future
occurrences will be provided to the DWM within 15 days following any such
occurrence on the Fire Occurrence Notification Form included in Appendix A.
1.?.6 Coordination With Local Fire Department
A copy of this Operations Manual will be filed with the local fire department
including all contact information for the facility.
1.8 LITTER CONTROL
Customers are encouraged to contain and cover all waste within their vehicles/trailers
prior to entering the facility in an effort to reduce litter. Any load that is not secured in a
manner that would prevent material from leaving the vehicle while it is in motion is
subject to an additional fee. Trailers are encouraged to be covered by heavy tarp lids to
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 7
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
minimize litter and reduce the potential for the entrance of vectors into the disposal
operations.
The vegetative trees/bushes act as a barrier to keep litter contained within the site
boundaries. Staff and operators pick up litter in and around the site on a daily basis and
respond to weather and heavy wind conditions that may compromise the appearance of
the property. Windblown litter from site operations discovered during the daily
inspections or observed on adjacent properties shall be picked up and containerized for
disposal at the end of each operating day, unless the landowner of the adjacent property
denies access to site staff.
1.9 SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS
Unusual weather conditions can directly affect the operations of the facility. Some of
these weather conditions and recommended operational responses are as follows.
1.9.1 Ice Storms
An ice storm can make access to the facility dangerous, prevent movement and
thus, may require closure of the facility until the ice is removed or has melted.
The determination to discontinue activities due to inclement weather conditions
will be made by the Transfer Station Manager.
1.9.2 Heavy Rains
Exposed soil surfaces can create a muddy situation in some portions of the
facility during rainy periods. The control of drainage and use of crushed stone on
unpaved roads should provide all-weather access for the site and promote
drainage away from critical areas. In areas where the aggregate surface is
washed away or otherwise damaged, new aggregate should be used for repair.
1.9.3 Electrical Storms
The open areas of the facility are susceptible to the hazards of an electrical
storm. If necessary, activities will be temporary suspended during such an
event. Refuge will be taken in the on -site building or in rubber -tired vehicles.
1.9.4 Windt/ Conditions
Facility operations will be adjusted as necessary to account for windy conditions.
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page a
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
1.9.5 Violent Storms
In the event of hurricane, tornado, or severe winter storm warning issued by the
National Weather Service, facility operations may be temporarily suspended until
the warning is lifted. Buildings and equipment will be properly secured.
1.10 HEALTH AND SAFETY
All aspects of the facility operations were developed with the health and safety of the
operating staff, customers, and neighbors in mind. Prior to commencement of
operations at the facility, a member of the operating staff will be designated the site's
safety officer. This individual, together with the facility's management will modify the
site's safety and emergency response program to ensure consistency with the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidance.
Safety equipment provided includes equipment rollover protection cabs, seat belts,
audible reverse warning devices, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), and first aid
kits. Facility personnel will be encouraged to complete the American Red Cross Basic
First Aid Course. Other safety requirements as designated by the Owner will also be
implemented.
Facility employees will be routinely trained in health and safety by supervisory staff. All
training will be documented. The following are some general recommendations for the
health and safety of workers at the Wilson Transfer Station facility.
1.10.1 Personal Hygiene
The following items are recommended as a minimum of practice:
• Wash hands before eating drinking, or smoking.
• Wear personal protective equipment as described in Section 1.10.2.
• Wash, disinfect, and bandage ANY cut, no matter how small it is. Any
breaks in the skin can become a source of infection.
• Keep fingernails closely trimmed and clean (dirty nails can harbor
pathogens).
1.10.2 Personal Protection Equipment
PPE must be evaluated as to the level of protection necessary for particular
operating conditions and then made available to facility employees. The list
below includes the PPE typically used and/or required in a solid waste
management facility workplace.
• Safety shoes with steel toes.
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 9
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
• Noise reduction protection should be used in areas where extended
exposure to continuous high decibels levels is expected.
• Disposable rubber latex or chemical resistant gloves for handling and/or
sampling of waste materials.
• Dust filter masks.
• Hard hats (in designated areas).
• Portable eyewash.
• Safety goggles.
• Safety vests.
Following use, PPE's should be disposed of or adequately cleaned, dried, or
readied for reuse.
1.10.3 Mechanical Equipment Hazard Prevention
All equipment should be operated with care and caution. All safety equipment
such as horns, backup alarms, and lights should be functional. A Lockout-
Tagout program will be used to identify equipment in need or under repair and
ensure that operation is "off-limits" prior to maintenance or repair. All
operators will be trained in the proper operation of equipment.
1.10.4 Employee Health and Safety
Some general safety rules are:
• Consider safety first when planning and conducting activities.
• Review the equipment 0&M manual(s) prior to attempting
repairs/changes.
• Remember the buddy system for repair of mechanical equipment
• Post emergency contact phone numbers.
• Provide easy and visible access to the Right to Know materials.
• Provide easy and visible access to the first aid kits and fire extinguishers.
1.10.5 Physical Exposure
Facility personnel may come in contact with the fluids, solids, and airborne
constituents found at the transfer station. Routine training should be conducted
regarding individual and collective materials and their associated hazards.
Training concerning safe workplace practices around these potential exposures
should instruct employees on the proper use of equipment and proper disposal
procedures.

2.4 WASTE SCREENING PROGRAMS
To assure prohibited wastes are not entering the facility, screening programs have been
implemented. Waste received at the scale house entrance and waste taken to the
tipping area or the storage container area is inspected by trained personnel. These
individuals have been trained to spot indications of suspicious wastes, including:
hazardous placarding or markings, liquids, powders or dusts, sludges, bright or unusual
colors, drums or commercial size containers, and "chemical" odors. Screening
programs for visual and olfactory characteristics of prohibited wastes are an ongoing
part of the facility operation.
2.4.1 Waste Receivino and Inspection
All vehicles must stop at the scale house located near the entrance of the facility
and visitors are required to sign -in. All waste transportation vehicles are
weighed and the content of the load assessed. The scale attendant(s) requests
from the driver of the vehicle a description of the waste it is carrying to ensure
that unacceptable waste is not allowed into the facility. The attendant(s) then
visually checks the vehicle as it crosses the scale. Signs informing users of the
acceptable and unacceptable types of waste are posted at the scale house or in
the vicinity of the entrance to the site. Once passing the scales, the vehicles are
routed to the tipping floor.
Vehicles are randomly selected for screening on a regular basis, depending on
personnel availability. Site personnel will ensure that each waste stream
received at the site is equitably inspected. At least one vehicle per week, but not
less than 5% of the average daily waste tonnage reported in the site's annual
report for the previous year, will be randomly selected by inspection personnel.
However, if something looks suspicious is spotted in any waste load, the load is
inspected further. Selected vehicles are directed to an area of the tipping floor
where the vehicle is unloaded. Waste is carefully spread using suitable
equipment. An attendant trained to identify wastes that are unacceptable for
processing inspects the waste discharged at the screening area. If unacceptable
waste is found, the load will be isolated, reloaded, and the generator/hauler will
be logged and escorted out of the facility.
For unacceptable wastes that are non -hazardous, the Owner will record in
writing and keep records for no less than five (5) years (see Section 1.12).
Records shall be made available to the division during a site inspection or upon
request. The hauler is responsible for removing unacceptable waste from the
facility's property.
For unacceptable wastes that are hazardous, the Hazardous Waste Contingency
Plan outlined in Section 2.4.2 will be followed. To determine the liquid content of
the waste, a liquid determination will be performed by the paint filter test (see
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 16
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
Appendix C for apparatus and procedures). The hauler is responsible for
removing unacceptable waste from the facility's property. If no unacceptable
waste is found, the load will be processed for recoverable items. All random
waste inspections will be documented by facility staff using the waste screening
form provided in Appendix B. In accordance with Rule 15A NCAC 13B.
0405(a)(8)(A), waste screening logs generated from waste inspections shall be
kept in the operating record for a minimum of five (5) years.
Records of information gathered as part of the waste screening programs will be
maintained at the site during its active life and as long as required by Wilson
Transfer Station and DWM, or for a minimum of five (5) years.
2.4.2 Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan
In the event that identifiable hazardous waste or waste of questionable character
is detected at the facility, appropriate equipment, protective equipment,
personnel, and materials as necessary will be employed to isolate the wastes.
DWM will be notified immediately (see Section 1.2.3) that an attempt was made
to dispose of hazardous waste at the facility. If the vehicle attempting disposal of
such waste is known, all attempts will be made to prevent that vehicle from
leaving the site or, if the vehicle has left the site, immediate notice will be served
on the vehicle owner that hazardous waste, for which they have responsibility,
has been delivered to the facility.
The facility will assist DWM as necessary and appropriate in the removal and
disposition of the hazardous waste and in the prosecution of responsible parties.
If needed, the hazardous waste will be covered with tarp material until such time
when an appropriate method can be implemented to properly handle the waste.
The cost of the removal and disposing of the hazardous waste will be charged to
the owner of the vehicle involved. Any vehicle owner or operator who knowingly
delivers hazardous waste to the facility may be barred from using the facility.
Should an incident where hazardous waste is found at the facility occur, the event
will be documented by staff using the waste screening form provided in Appendix
B.
2.5 FACILITY OPERATIONS
2.5.1 Operating Capacity
Waste may be stored onsite in leak -resistant transfer trailers with watertight
covers, for a maximum of 24-hours except that a minimal amount of waste may
be stored for a maximum of 48 hours when the facility is closed during a
weekend and a maximum of 72 hours when closed for a weekend holiday.
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 17
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
2.5.2 Disposal Facility
The anticipated disposal facilities for the transfer station (subject to change)
include any facility in the State of North Carolina or the Commonwealth of
Virginia that holds a solid waste permit for the specific waste disposed, and
whose service area includes the origin of the waste.
2.5.3 Access
Traffic will be clearly directed to the tipping floor. The traffic speed on the site
should be less than 10 MPH. Rutting of gravel roadway surfaces must be
repaired by the placement of additional gravel on the roadway and not solely by
grading the rut. This will maintain the separator geotextile placed below most
gravel roadway surfaces. Paved portions of access roads will also be monitored,
maintained, and repaired as needed. Any record of maintenance or repairs will
be kept along with other records as mentioned in Section 1.12.
2.5.4 General Procedures
The transfer operations will be conducted in accordance with the approved
Operation Plan and conditions of the Solid Waste Permit issued by the DWM.
Facility operations are anticipated as follows:
1. Collection vehicles delivering waste to the facility will enter through the main
entrance;
2. Collection vehicles will pass by and over the scales for weighing;
3. Collection vehicles will continue along the access road until reaching the
transfer station tipping area(s).
4. The tipping area has "push" walls running along the interior of the building
that direct the waste to an "hopper", where waste will be loaded into the
transfer trailers and/or equipment on the lower level of the building.
5. An attendant will direct vehicles, waiting to unload, to back into the facility
through the entrance. Adequate area is available in front of the transfer area
for drivers to queue their vehicles into a backing maneuver. Operating
personnel will be on the station floor to direct and guide the vehicles.
6. The vehicles will back onto the tipping floor to an area designated by the
attendant.
7. Once the vehicle is in position, the waste load will be discharged directly onto
the tipping floor.
8. The discharged waste load will be inspected before it is mixed with other
waste on the tipping floor and loaded into the open top transfer trailers
Located in the lower level of the transfer station. All MSW waste will stay in
the covered area of the transfer station.
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 18
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
In the event MSW and C&D waste is segregated, the transfer station floor will be
divided into two separate areas. MSW and C&D waste loads will be directed to
their respective areas and the materials will be handled and loaded into transfer
trailers separately.
2.5.5 Special Waste Management
2.5.5.1 Asbestos Management
The Wilson Transfer Station facility does not process any known or
recognized asbestos containing materials. For unacceptable waste that
is discovered, the Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan outlined in Section
2.4.2 will be followed.
2.6 MARKETS
The final destination of the recyclable materials separated from the waste may vary
depending on market prices for such materials.
2.7 RECOROKEEPING
The facility will maintain accurate records of daily waste activities. Daily records will
document the weight of waste received and the origins of the loads. Additionally, the
operator will maintain monthly records of the amount of waste transported for disposal.
On or before August 1 annually, the operator will submit a facility report to the DWM and
to each county from which waste was received. Minimally, the facility report will
document the tons of waste received on a monthly basis, the origin of the waste, the type
of waste received, the tons diverted, and the tons disposed.
2.8 Operational Contingency Plan
Periodically, the site may experience events that may restrict or prevent the facility from
operating normally. The following contingency plan has been prepared in accordance
with 15A NCAC 13B.0404(i)(101 to identify operational procedures that will be employed
in the event these conditions arise. The contingency plan will be kept on -site, including
emergency procedures and contact information in case of emergencies. Emergency
contact numbers provided in Section 1.2 will also be posted at the site scale house.
2.8.1 Loss of Power
In the event of a power outage, the site will accept waste based on volume and
load counts until power can be restored. The scale house computer has battery
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 19
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
back-up and a back-up hard drive to maintain records in the event of a power
and/or network outage.
2.8.2 Loss of Communication
Multiple communication devices are employed at the site to avoid loss of
communications. Two-way radios or cell phones are maintained between the
site manager, operators and scale house for day-to-day communications. The
scale house has telephones in case of emergency and to conduct day-to-day
business. Cellular phones are available for key operating staff (i.e. managers,
operators).
2.8.3 Storm Surges
The site does not serve as a disposal site. In the event of a storm surge,
materials exceeding the sites operational limits would be diverted to another
permitted solid waste facility capable of handling the storm surge.
2.8.4 Scale and Scale Software Malfunction
In the event the scale and/or scale software malfunctions, the site will accept
waste based on volume and load counts until the scale and/or scale software can
be repaired. The scale house computer has battery back-up and a back-up hard
drive to maintain records in the event of a power and/or network outage.
2.8.5 Equipment
As provided in Section 1.3.4 the site equipment is of sufficient type and quantity
to be able to operate, in the event of equipment malfunction. Should a disruption
in the waste screening equipment occur or should material quantities exceed the
equipment operating capacity, the facility may temporarily close and divert
materials to another permitted solid waste facility until repairs can be made that
would allow the site to return to normal operating conditions.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
3.1 OVERVIEW
This section reviews the overall environmental management tasks required for the
successful operation of the processing and recovery facility.
3.2 SURFACE WATER RUNOFF CONTROL
Waste and recyclable materials will be unloaded within the covered areas of the transfer
station building or directly into storage containers during periods of inclement weather.
Waste will not be unloaded or stored in standing water.
The site will be maintained in a fashion to divert surface water away from the
transferring and storage areas. Proper control of surface water at the transfer or
recycling areas will accomplish the following goals:
• Prevent the run-on of surface water into waste handling area(s);
• Prevent the run-off of surface water that has come into contact with the waste
(i.e., leachate);
• Limit the erosion caused by surface waters; and
• Limit sediments carried off -site by surface waters.
3.3 LEACHATE MANAGEMENT
The leachate management system for the MSW & C&D transfer station consists of
concrete tipping floor, collection trenches and leachate transmission piping,
water/oil/grit separator, and a direct connection to the City of Wilson sanitary sewer
system.
3.3.1 Leachate Collection
All wash -down water which comes into contact with the waste, tipping floor,
Loading bay floor, or waste handling equipment will be treated as leachate.
Leachate from the transfer station floor flows through the hopper and into the
Lower level of the building. Leachate is collected in floor drains in the lower level
and gravity flows into the wash water grit storage tank and is pumped by pump
station to the City of Wilson sewer system. The pumping station is equipped with
an alarm to alert operators of failure. If there is evidence that the drain is not
working properly, staff will initiate the necessary maintenance activities.
It is not anticipated that any leachate will get outside of the collection area as the
site is paved with drains flowing to the leachate collection system. Likewise, the
Leachate collection is tied directly to the city sewer system and not disposed of
through pump and haul activities. However, in the event a Leachate release
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 21
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
makes contact with soil, the spill will be contained as much as practical by staff
(using excavation, soil berms, or other means) and the DWM will be notified
verbally or in writing within 24 hours from the time when a leachate release is
observed.
3.3.2 Operation and Maintenance of Leachate Pump and Storage Tank
Operation and maintenance of Leachate pumps and the grit storage tanks shall
be in accordance with the appropriate manufacturer's recommendations. The
pumps and storage tanks will be inspected weekly, at a minimum. If there is
evidence that they are not functioning properly, staff will initiate the necessary
maintenance actions. The Owner or his designee will be responsible for following
and documenting, as required, these activities.
3.4 VECTOR CONTROL
The tipping floor and recovery areas will be maintained in a clean, orderly, and sanitary
condition to effectively control vectors. The transfer areas will be cleaned and swept
daily and washed down weekly, at a minimum. If vector control becomes a problem,
additional measures will be taken to ensure the protection of human health.
3.5 ODOR CONTROL
3.5.1 MSW Materials
Odorous or potentially odorous MSW materials will be loaded into trailers as
soon as possible to avoid odor problems.
3.5.2 CCD Materials
Due to the nature of the type of C&D waste materials reclaimed, transferred, and
stored at this facility, odor is not expected to be of concern.
3.6 Dust Control
Dust generated by the processing activities will be limited by misting the materials, as
needed. The access roads to the tipping floor and the travel lanes from the trailer
loading areas are paved which will minimize dust generation.
3.? Site Cleaning and Maintenance
All waste shall be removed from the tipping floor, truck loading bays, and from behind
push walls at the end of each working day. The tipping floor, truck loading bays, and
push walls shall be cleaned with a pressure washer no less than once per month.
Wilson Transfer Station Operations Plan
September 2022 Page 22
DocuSign Envelope ID: AE499C92-64F9-4C39-BB30-FC27198B7CC2
Remaining areas of the building including but not limited to, side walls and any material
storage areas outside of the building shall be cleaned with a pressure washer no less
than twice per year. Any wash water generated from these activities shall be contained,
collected, and treated as leachate. Cleaning and maintenance records shall be
maintained and made available to DWM as mentioned in Section 1.12.

4.0 CLOSURE PLAN
4.1 Closure Schedule
Closure activities will begin on the following schedule:
• No less than 90 days prior to the proposed date of cessation of waste acceptance
at the site, written notification of closure will be submitted to the Division.
• No later than 30 days after receipt of waste at the site, closure activities shall
begin.
• Closure activities shall be complete within 180 days of beginning.
• The Division shall be notified in writing that the requirements of Rule 15A NCAC
13B .0406(b) have been met.
• The Division shall conduct a final inspection to verify the conditions of closure
have been met.
4.2 Closure Activities
The owner or operator shall complete the closure activities stated in Rule 15A NCAC 13B
.0406(b).
The owner or operator shall post a minimum of one sign at the entrance of the facility
notifying all who utilize the facility of the date of closing and the prohibition against
further receipt of waste materials after the stated date. Suitable barriers shall be
installed at all gates or access points. As the facility is contained by perimeter fencing, a
lock on the main gate and other access gates is suitable.
The facility includes a bi-level prefabricated metal building, a scale house with scales, a
leachate collection system. At the time of closure, the owner or operator will remove all
waste, waste residue, and any recovered materials from the site and dispose at a facility
Listed in Section 2.5.2 Disposal Facility. The tipping floor, loading pit, walls and ceiling
of the transfer station, and any other part of the processing areas will be washed down
and disinfected. The leachate collection system will be washed down and disinfected
and will be abandoned in place. The grit separator and pumpstation will be emptied,
washed down and disinfected. The stormwater drainage features on site will remain in
working order.
If required by the Division, a corrective action program will be conducted following the
closure of the site.

METHOD 9095
PAINT FILTER LIQUIDS TEST
From EPA SW-846
1.0 SCOPE AND APPLICATION
1.1 This method is used to determine the presence of free liquids in a representative sample
of waste.
1.2 The method is used to determine compliance with 40 CFR 264.314 and 265.314.
2.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD
2.1 A predetermined amount of material is placed in a paint filter. If any portion of the
material passes through and
drops from the filter within the
5-minute test period, the
material is deemed to contain
free liquids. PAINT FILTER�LIQUIDS TEST
3.0 INTERFERENCES
3.1 Filter media were
observed to separate from the
filter cone on exposure to
alkaline materials. This
development causes no
problem if the sample is not
disturbed.
4.0 APPARATUS AND
111FAIl;II!1p
4.1 Conical paint filter:
Mesh number 60 (fine meshed
size). Available at local paint
stores such as Sherwin-
Williams and Glidden for an
approximate cost of $0.07 each.

4.2 Glass funnel: If the paint filter, with the waste, cannot sustain its weight on the ring
stand, then a fluted glass funnel or glass funnel with a mouth large enough to allow at least 1
inch of the filter mesh to protrude should be used to support the filter. The funnel is to be fluted
or have a large open mouth in order to support the paint filter yet not interfere with the
movement, to the graduated cylinder, of the liquid that passes through the filter mesh.
4.3 Ring stand and ring or tripod.
4.4 Graduated cylinder or beaker: 100-mL.
5.0 REAGENTS
5.1 None.
6.0 SAMPLE COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, AND HANDLING
6.1 All samples must be collected according to the directions in Chapter Nine of EPA SW-
846.
6.2 A 100 mL or 100 g representative sample is required for the test
obtain a sample of 100 mL or 100 g that
is sufficiently representative of the
waste, the analyst may use larger size
samples in multiples of 100 mL or 100 g,
i.e., 200, 300, 400 mL or g. However,
when larger samples are used, analysts
shall divide the sample into 100-mL or
100-g portions and test each portion
separately. If any portion contains free
liquids, the entire sample is considered
to have free liquids.
7.o PROCEDURE
7.1 Assemble test apparatus as
shown in Figure 1.
7.2 Place sample in the filter. A
funnel may be used to provide support
for the paint filter.
7.3 Allow sample to drain for 5
minutes into the graduated cylinder.
RING STAND

5-min. period, then the material is deemed to contain free liquids for purposes of 40 CFR
264.314 and 265.314.
8.0 QUALITY CONTROL
8.1 Duplicate samples should be analyzed on a routine basis.
9.0 METHOD PERFORMANCE
9.1 No data provided.
