The facility will be closed on 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 Vance County 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 which may contain prohibited wastes. The anticipated personnel requirements for operation and maintenance of the site are listed in the following Table 1. The number of site personnel can be adjusted based upon volume of waste received for recovery and transfer.

Scale House Attendant Receiving and weighing for incoming and outgoing loads. Operators (as needed) Management of tipping floor, equipment operations, and general facility operations. Commercial Drivers (as needed) Transfer of C&D and MSW waste. Labor (as needed) General labor. 1.3.4 Equipment Requirements The Owner/Operator will maintain on -site equipment required to perform the necessary transfer and recycling activities. Periodic maintenance of all equipment and minor repair work will be performed in designated maintenance zones. The anticipated equipment requirements for operation and maintenance of the facility are listed in Table 2. These may vary based on the volume coming into the facility for recovery and transfer. Table 2: Equipment Requirements Description Primary Function (Allocation) 1) Front End Loader (1)* Loading, site cleanup, and transfer operations. 2) Transfer Trucks (4-6)* Collection and transfer of C&D and MSW waste. 3) Other Equipment* As needed. * Number and types of vehicles and equipment will be based on actual volume of waste received. 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. • Trespassing, and injury resulting therefrom, is discouraged. Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 4 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E • 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 Physical Restraints The site will be accessed by an entrance on NC Highway 39 North 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 which will be securely locked during non -operating hours. 1.4.2 Security The Vance County 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 Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 5 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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 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): • Accelerated high temperature combustion (displacing fuel); • Covering of the burn area with foams (reduce oxygen); 1 National Fire Protection Association (www.nfpa.org) Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 6 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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 Solid Waste Operations 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 General 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 minimize litter and reduce the potential for the entrance of vectors into the disposal operations. Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 7 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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 Windy Conditions Facility operations will be adjusted as necessary to account for windy conditions. 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.

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 Vance County 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 Eauioment 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. • 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. Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 9 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E • 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. 1.10.6 Safety Data Sheets Safety Data Sheets (SDS) will be collected on every waste (if available) that enters the facility. Information will also be made available for all chemicals stored on site for use by the facility. SIDS sheets will be stored in a location with all other Right to Know information for the site.

Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 15 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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 appropriate tipping floor or recovery area. 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 Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 16 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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 Vance County 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 up to 24-hours except when the facility is closed during a weekend or a holiday. Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Pagel? DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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 appropriate tipping floor or recovery area. 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 open "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. Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 18 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 2.5.5 Recycling and Recovery Recyclables arrive and remain segregated from MSW and are loaded into open top trailers. 2.5.6 Saecial Waste Management 2.5.6.1 Asbestos Management The Vance County 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.? 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)(10) 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 Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 19 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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. Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 20 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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 transfer station consists of concrete tipping floor, collection trenches and leachate transmission piping, pumps, and an underground storage tank. The transfer station tipping floor and loading areas are designed to contain and direct leachate to the collection 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 or into a concrete curb and trough at the front edge of the tipping floor. Leachate is collected in floor drains and gravity flows into the underground storage tank where it is monitored weekly and removed via "pump and haul" to an authorized waste water treatment facility. 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. However, in the event a leachate release makes contact with soil, the spill will be contained Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 21 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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 Pumo 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. The underground storage tank shall be pumped before reaching its maximum capacity of 18" from the top of the tank. 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 Cleanin 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 Vance County Transfer Station Operations Plan September 2022 Page 22 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E push walls shall be cleaned with a pressure washer no less than once per month. 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.

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.

DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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. %95-9 DocuSign Envelope ID: ODD1028F-FEAC-4D47-BE08-2F52CEC7910E 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 If it is not possible to FIGURE 1.
