Hey Todd,
We need to break down the FA totals for South Charlotte and Queen City transfer stations at the
request of the state (see attached comments). Looks like you guys calculated the total costs for us
back in 2019 and 2021, respectively (also attached), so I'd like your team's support dividing out the
costs as required. Could you send me the information supporting the total cost when you have a
minute, or a proposal to do so if it's more involved than I'm thinking?
We need similar assistance for our Currituck Transfer Station (8546 Caratoke Hwy, Powells Point, NC
27909), but I don't believe you guys developed the FA total. Snip from the current and previous
revision of the Closure Plan are included below.

Section 5 — Financigi Assurance
A Sijrety Bond wail be provided to cover the oast of Cleanup by a third party
should it be needed. Our assumption of quantity of dem-olition debris
tonnage wiII be 60 tone per day. Our assumption of quantity of recyclable&
tonnage per day will be 40 tons. A:s noted, no recyclable& will be stored at
0urfaciIity that are riot directly loaded Into der 100 yd trailer and removed
daily.
Our disposal rate to have a Ihird party load_ haul and landfill (5) days worth
of demolition debris and recyclables (showing no value or oast for
recycling material) is estimated at $100 per ton. The $1C0 per ton estimate
includes $72 per ton disposal rate at PAa pie Transfer Station.
(60 torus dernalMon debris) X (5) days = 300tons
30U tons X $100 per ton = S30,000
lasing the criteria established in the regulations. we have procured a Surety
Bond in the amount of $30,000 to raver closure cleanup exper'ses through

I'd like to get these numbers buttoned up and resubmitted by the end of this month. Give me a
shout if you have questions.
Hope you're doing well!
