Monday through Sunday. We will normally be closed New Years, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. In the event of disaster or other emergency situations, the site manager will request approval from the NCDEQ regional office to allow additional temporary operating hours during these events. 1.3 Site Access The LCID and T&P will be primarily accessed by the East side entrance and the West side entrance will be used once the Transfer Station is active. • Unauthorized and illegal dumping of debris materials is prevented. • Trespassing, and injury resulting therefrom, is discouraged. • The risk of vandalism is greatly reduced. Access to active areas of the landfill will be controlled by a combination of fences, natural barriers. An attendant will be on duty at all times when the facility is open for public use. 1.3.1 Physical Restraints The site will be primarily accessed by the existing entrance on Gresham Lake Road. The primary entrance has a gate which will be securely locked during non -operating hours. A gate house is provided at the main entrance for debris receiving and customer/visitor check in. 1.3.2 Securi The facility is secured by fencing, security gates and natural buffers. Evidence of trespassing, vandalism, or illegal operation will be reported to the owner to coordinate the repair or replacement of the damaged property and to confirm the integrity of the facilities security. Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 2 Revised November 2023 1.4 Siznaue Signs containing the information required by the DWM will be placed at the facility entrance. The signs will provide information on operating hours, permit number, contact phone number and acceptable debris. Additional signage will be provided as necessary within the landfill complex to distinguish the roadway to the active landfill unit(s). Service and maintenance roads for use by operations personnel will be clearly marked. Site personnel will routinely inspect the conditions of the posted signage to confirm that they are clearly visible and intact. 1.5 Communications Communications will be maintained between the LCID landfill and the landfill gate house. Radios/walk-talkies/cell phones will be used for communication between the gate attendant and the working face supervisor. The gate house has a telephone in case of an emergency and to conduct day-to-day business. Emergency telephone numbers are displayed in the gate house. 1.6 Fire Control The possibility of fire within the landfill or a piece of equipment must be anticipated in the daily facility operation. Potential fire hazards include both surface and subsurface conditions. Surface conditions include equipment operations and newly placed debris. Subsurface conditions include existing debris previously landfilled. Smoking is prohibited on the working face of the landfill. 1.6.1 Open Burning Open burning is not allowed at the facility in accordance with 1 SA NCAC 13B.0566(12). Controlled burning will occur only if permitted or approved by the DWM, the Division of Air Quality (DAQ), and the local fire department, as appropriate. 1.6.2 Equipment Portable fire extinguishers will be operational on all pieces of heavy equipment. Portable fire extinguishers should be maintained in a state of readiness on each piece of moving equipment and equipment should be cleaned periodically. Staff will be trained on the proper utilization of the fire extinguishers. The fire extinguishers are checked on a regular basis to ensure their utilization. The date of the units' inspections is documented on each tag. Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 3 Revised November 2023 1.6.3 General Fire Management Strategies Each fire situation is site/event specific; however, general strategies for active fire management include the following (in no particular order): • Accelerated high temperature combustion (displacing fuel). • Covering burning material with soil (reduce oxygen). • Covering burning material with foams (reduce oxygen). • Flooding burning material with water (reduce heat). • Injecting an inert gas such as CO2 (reduce oxygen). • Excavating the burning material (displacing fuel) and then extinguishing it in small, controlled areas; and • Applying extinguishing agents that will interfere with and inhibit the combustion process at the molecular level (break the chemical reaction). In addition to the active fire management strategies mentioned above, periodic refresher training on these strategies will be performed. 1.6.4 Surface Emissions The presence of surface emissions in the form of steam or smoke may occur from time to time. On -site personnel will watch sensitive areas across the cover for signs of these types of emissions. Steam Steam is pure water vapor, produced by evaporated water within the debris mass. Ordinarily, steam is completely colorless. As steam cools and condenses it becomes visible as water vapor and can produce a white cloud which dissipates relatively quickly. It is odorless and tasteless. Because the humidity is very high, the cloud may leave water droplets on solids that touch it. Observed steam emissions on site will continue to be monitored; changes will be reported to the site manager. Smoke Smoke consists of gases and soot. The gases typically include water vapor, but smoke differs from steam in that there are other gases, such carbon dioxide and sulfur oxides, plus there are small particles. The types of particles depend on the source of the smoke, but usually you can smell or taste either the soot or some of the gases from smoke. Smoke may be white, but more commonly it is colored by its particles and will linger across the cover as the particles in the smoke are suspended. Observed smoke will be covered with soil or other action to prevent fire creating conditions and continue to be monitored until smoke is no longer produced. The site manager will be notified when smoke is observed on site. 1.6.5 Fires Within Disposal Areas Fires within the landfill disposal areas will be limited using periodic cover as a fire break and control of "hot" loads entering the landfill. See section 1.6.3 for potential methods of fire control. Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 4 Revised November 2023 1.6.6 Notification DWM will be notified within 24 hours of discovery of a fire within the facility perimeter. 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 using the DWM's Fire Occurrence Notification Form (Appendix A). 1.7 Severe Weather Conditions Inclement weather conditions can directly affect landfill facility operations. Some weather conditions and recommended operational responses are as follows. 1.7.1 Ice Storms An ice storm can make access to the facility and disposal locations dangerous, prevent movement or placement of daily cover, 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 Site Manager. 1.7.2 Heavy Rains Rainy periods can create a muddy situation in areas of exposed soil. 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. Intense rains can affect newly constructed drainage structures such as swales, diversions, cover soils, and vegetation. After such a rain event, inspection by facility personnel will be initiated and corrective measures initiated to repair any damage found before the next rainfall. In extreme cases the landfill will be closed for employee and customer safety and to prevent excessive site damage. 1.7.3 Electrical Storms Employees working on heavy equipment and open areas of the landfill and recovery areas are susceptible to the hazards of an electrical storm. If necessary, disposal activities will be temporarily suspended during such an event. To guarantee the safety of all field personnel refuge will be sought, as necessary, in on -site buildings or in rubber -tired vehicles. 1.7.4 Windy Conditions Operations during a particularly windy period may require the working face be temporarily shifted to a more sheltered area. When this is done, the previously exposed face will be immediately covered with soil. Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 5 Revised November 2023 1.7.5 Violent Storms In the event of hurricane, tornado, or severe winter storm warning issued by the National Weather Service, operations may be temporarily suspended until the warning is lifted. Cover will be placed on exposed debris and buildings and equipment will be properly secured. 1.8 Equipment Requirements Periodic equipment maintenance and minor and major repair work will be performed in designated maintenance zones outside the facility. The available equipment for daily operation and site maintenance are listed in the following table. However, the operator may change as needed. Table 1.

Safety equipment provided includes equipment rollover protective cabs, seat belts, audible reverse warning devices, hard hats, safety shoes and first aid kits. A member of the operating staff is the designated site safety officer (Site Manager), who works with the facilities management to ensure the site's safety and emergency response program is consistent with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidance. Other safety requirements designated by the owner may also be implemented. Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 6 Revised November 2023 1.10.1 Personal Protective Equipment Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be evaluated as to the level of protection necessary for 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 decibel levels is expected. • Disposable rubber latex or chemical resistant gloves for handling and/or sampling of debris materials. • Dust filter masks (voluntary). • Hard hats (in designated areas). Following use, PPE should be disposed of or adequately cleaned, dried, or readied for reuse. 1.10.2 Mechanical Equipment Hazard Prevention 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. 1.10.3 Employee Health and Safety Some general safety rules are: • Consider safety first when planning and conducting activities. • Review the equipment O&M manual(s) prior to attempting repairs/changes. • Remember the buddy system for mechanical equipment repair. • Post emergency contact phone numbers. • Provide easy and visible access to the Right to Know materials. • Provide easy and visible access to first aid kits and fire extinguishers. 1.10.4 Physical Exposure Facility personnel may come in contact with the fluids, solids and airborne constituents found at the facility. Safe work practices around these potential exposures as well as appropriate equipment use, and proper disposal procedures will be followed. 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 usage of equipment and proper disposal procedures. 1.10.5 Safety Data Sheets Safety Data Sheets (SDS) will be made available for all chemicals stored on site for use at the facility.

Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 8 Revised November 2023 2.0 DEBRISHANDLING OPERATIONS This section describes the required debris handling operations for the facility. 2.1 Acceptable Material 2.1.1 Only the following debris materials generated within the approved service area maybe disposed of in the LCID landfill unit. • Land Clearing and Inert Debris Landfill: as defined in 15A NCAC 13B.0101(30) means a unit for the disposal of yard waste and inert debris waste (15A NCAC 13B .0563 through .0567), uncontaminated soil, gravel and rock, and yard trash. • Land Clearing Waste: as defined in 15A NCAC 13B.0101(31) means solid debris which is generated solely from land -clearing activities, limited to stumps, trees, limbs, brush, grass, and other naturally occurring vegetative material. • Yard trash: as defined in G.S. 130A-290(a)(45) means solid waste consisting solely of vegetative matter resulting from landscaping maintenance. • Other Debris as Approved by the Solid Waste Section of the Division of Waste Management. 2.1.2 The following debris may be accepted for use in the T&P facility: • Naturally occurring tree debris: stumps, trees, limbs, brush, etc. • Clean wood debris: from construction only. No demolition materials no painted or treated wood, no engineered or laminated wood products. This may include pallets or skids if the wood naturally occurring and is not engineered, treated, or manufactured. • Concrete/brick debris • Asphalt debris • Leaves Only materials listed above will be disposed. All other identified debris will be removed and disposed in accordance with Section 2.3. 2.2 Prohibited Wastes (reference other permits) No municipal solid waste (MSW), construction and demolition debris waste (C&D), hazardous waste (as defined by 15,4 NCACI3A including hazardous waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators), or liquid waste will be accepted at this facility. In addition, no polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste will be accepted. The facility follows a screening program as described in Section 2.3, to ensure no prohibited waste is accepted. 23 Debris Screening Screening programs have been implemented to prevent prohibited wastes from entering the facility. If any non -acceptable types of waste are identified, these wastes will be placed into a stockpile or container and removed from the site for disposal at a solid waste facility permitted to accept the particular waste. All records and receipts for this disposal will be kept in the operating record for the site. It is anticipated that unacceptable wastes will be minor amounts and either generally classified as MSW or C&D. The operators will be trained on identifying non-conforming/non- acceptable wastes. The frequency for screening includes every load described as follows. Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 9 Revised November 2023 2.3.1 Receiving All vehicles must stop at the guard house located near the facility entrance and visitors are required to sign -in. All debris transportation vehicles are checked and have their load content assessed. The attendant(s) requests from the driver of the vehicle a description of the debris it is carrying to ensure that unacceptable waste is not allowed into the landfill. The attendant(s) then visually checks the vehicle. Signs informing users of the acceptable and unacceptable types of debris are posted at the guard house. Once passing the attendant, the vehicles containing LCID debris (See Section 2.1.1) are routed to the landfill. Vehicles carrying clean wood debris (or debris listed in See Section 2.1.2) are directed to the raw material stockpiles in the T&P area. Directional signs are used to guide traffic to the correct unloading area. Each incoming load will be unloaded at its designated area (either the LCID disposal area or the T&P raw material stockpile, depending on the material type). The attendant will alert the yard operators with information on the incoming load, e.g., material type, truck description, etc. The yard operator will be present when each vehicle is unloaded to ensure the material is acceptable. This inspection will preferably take place prior to unloading, but at a minimum soon after unloading and prior to the vehicle leaving the premises. If the load is deemed suitable for the designated unloading area, the vehicle will be cleared to exit with the attendant. If unacceptable, non -hazardous materials are found, the driver/owner of the truck will be notified, and the materials will be removed from the site by the hauler. Any hazardous waste discovered will follow the Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan as outlined in Section 2.4.2. Vehicles are selected for random screening based on 1 % by volume of incoming site acceptance, or a minimum of once per month. Selected vehicles are directed to an area of intermediate cover adjacent to the working face where the vehicle will be unloaded. Debris is carefully spread using suitable equipment, and the load is inspected by an attendant trained to identify unacceptable wastes. All random debris inspections will be documented by facility staff using the waste screening form provided in Appendix B. Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 10 Revised November 2023 2.3.2 Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan If identifiable hazardous waste or waste of questionable character is detected at the landfill, appropriate equipment, protective gear, personnel, and materials as necessary will be employed to isolate the wastes. The DWM will be notified immediately that an attempt was made to dispose of hazardous waste at the landfill. 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 owner of the vehicle that hazardous waste, for which they have responsibility, has been disposed of at 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 either on -site soils or other tarping 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 dumps hazardous waste in the landfill 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 facility staff using the waste screening form provided in Appendix B. Records gathered as part of the waste screening programs will be maintained at the facility during its active life. 2.4 Disposal 2.4.1 Access Traffic will be clearly directed to the appropriate active access road. Access road location during debris placement will be determined by operations personnel to reflect the debris placement strategy. 2.4.2 General Procedure Debris transportation vehicles will arrive at the working face at random intervals. There may be a number of vehicles unloading debris at the same time, while other vehicles are waiting. To maintain control over the unloading of debris, a certain number of vehicles will be allowed on the working face at a time. The actual number will be determined by the personnel. This procedure will be used to minimize the potential of unloading unacceptable debris and to control disposal activity. Operations at the working face will be conducted in a manner which will encourage the efficient movement of transportation vehicles to and from the working face, and to expedite the unloading of debris. The approach to the working face will be maintained such that two or more vehicles may safely unload side by side. A vehicle turn -around area large enough to enable vehicles to arrive and turn around safely at a reasonable speed will be provided adjacent to the unloading area. The vehicles will back to a vacant area near the working face to unload. Following completion of the unloading operation, the transportation vehicles will immediately leave the working face area. Personnel will direct traffic necessary to expedite safe movement of vehicles. Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 11 Revised November 2023 Debris unloading at the landfill will be controlled to prevent disposal in locations other than those specified by site management. Such control will also be used to confine the working face to a minimum width yet allow safe and efficient operations. The width and length of the working face will be maintained as small as practical to maintain the appearance of the site, control windblown debris, and minimize the amount of cover required each day. Normally, only one working face will be active on any given day, with all deposited debris in other areas covered by either periodic, intermediate, or final cover, as appropriate. The procedures for placement and compaction of debris include unloading of vehicles, spreading of debris into nominal two (2) foot lifts, and compaction on relatively flat slopes (i.e., 5H:1 V max.), using a minimum of three full passes. A maximum slope ratio of 3H:1 V will be observed at all times. The use of portable signs with directional arrows and portable traffic barricades will facilitate the unloading of debris to the designated disposal locations. These signs and barricades will be placed along the access route to the working face of the landfill or other designated disposal areas which may be established. 2.5 Cover The below cover requirements apply to debris which is placed into the permanent LCID landfill. For the treatment and processing operations, material should be confined as practical, and all windblown material should be collected and returned to the appropriate pile at the conclusion of each day of operation. 2.5.1 Periodic Cover Waste will be covered with no less than 6 inches of soil monthly, or when the working face reaches 1 acre in size, whichever occurs first. This periodic cover is intended to control vectors, fire, odors, and blowing debris. This does not include stockpiled material marked for reuse. 2.5.2 Intermediate Cover Areas that will not have additional wastes placed on them for three months or more, but where final termination of disposal operations has not occurred, shall be covered with no less than one foot of soil cover sloped to direct the flow of surface water from the landfill, and stabilized with vegetative ground cover or other stabilizing material. 2.6 Heieht Monitoring Staff will periodically monitor landfill top and side slope elevations. When such elevations approach design grades, the final top of debris grades will be staked to limit over -placement of debris. Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 12 Revised November 2023 3.0 TREAT MANDPROCESSINGOPERATIONS 3.1 Debris Grinding Processing Grinding and/or chipping will be conducted centrally on the site within the future landfill footprint. The grinding/chipping operations will be conducted as needed to facilitate the landfill recovery and incoming waste operations by contract equipment. It is anticipated that incoming materials for processing will include asphalt, concrete, and brick or stone. The material will be directed to the grinders as per the material size. It is anticipated that grinding and chipping will be conducted on a periodic basis as materials are available. Grinders and chippers pose both maintenance and safety hazards. Therefore, please refer to the manufacturer's safety and/or maintenance literature prior to operating equipment on site. 3.2 Wood Processing The facility accepts tree stumps, logs, limbs, landscape trimmings, etc. A portion of the wood materials are processed for use in industrial markets. Much of the woody materials are processed using the equipment inventory and made into mulch which is then colorized and sold from the facility. The color materials are a non -toxic organic inert dye that arrives in a concentrated liquid form. The concentrated dye is then mixed with water to create a diluted solution for application to the mulch. Mulch dye runoff will be managed using untreated mulch to adsorb the dye and worked back into the stockpile utilizing best practices. 33 Leaves/Natural Vegetative Material During the late fall/early winter months, leaves/naturally occurring vegetative material are accepted from local landscapers and vacuum trucks. The naturally occurring vegetative materials are ground using best practice and used as an additive in topsoil products. 3.4 Topsoil Soil is separated from the incoming wood debris that is processed onsite (Section 3.2). This is accomplished using a vibrating screen, and topsoil is then mixed with processed leaves (Section 3.5) to produce topsoil. 3.5 Troubleshooting The final products must be maintained and monitored to prevent fire potential and to maintain an acceptable product. Typical problems and solutions have been provided in Table 3. This table may be updated from time to time to include additional information about the specific processes at this site.

Proper surface water control at the facility will accomplish the following goals: • Minimize the potential for the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States, including wetlands (point or non -point sources). • Prevent the run-on of surface water into the landfill unit(s) or the active face(s). • Prevent the run-off of surface water that has come into contact with the debris (i.e., leachate). • Limit the erosion caused by surface waters. * Limit sediments carried off -site by surface waters. Maximize the separation of surface water from leachate using best management practices. The following is a brief discussion of some of these features and practices, focusing more on the landfill units. 4.1.1 Surface Water Run -On Control The perimeter berms and/or perimeter channels around the landfill unit(s) are designed to prevent the run-on of surface water from adjacent land into the landfill. Additional structures such as diversion berms, channels, down pipes, etc. carry surface water away from the landfill. 4.1.2 Active Face Run -Off Control Particular care is required to ensure that surface water coming from the active face, e.g., having potential contact with the debris, is allowed to percolate into the underlying debris. Only run- off from disposal surfaces that have received adequate cover is not considered leachate and should be directed to the stormwater drainage system where practical. 4.1.3 Erosion Control The serviceability of the landfill relies heavily on soil berms, barrier layers, and agricultural layers that are readily eroded by flowing water. Erosion control provisions incorporated in the landfill include the following: • The slope of the working face should typically be no steeper than practical to limit erosion of the periodic cover. • Intermediate cover that has been exposed for more than 30 days must be seeded immediately and repaired when erosion features are identified. • Water collected by each drainage break is routed to stormwater drainage channels or down pipes so that the run-off volume does not accumulate going down the slope. • The vegetative soil layer placed over the final cover must be seeded immediately. Wall Recycling, LLC Facility Operations Plan, Page 15 Revised November 2023 Additional erosion control measures have been established within the drainage channels and at points of stormwater discharge. Final cover should be inspected regularly for erosion damage and promptly repaired. Revegetation should be performed in accordance with the requirements of the applicable erosion and sedimentation control plan. 4.1.4 Sedimentation Control Stormwater run-off from the landfill unit and T&P facility is conveyed to one of the sediment basins and traps located outside of the landfill footprint. These basins should be inspected regularly for sediment build-up or erosion damage. The basins and/or traps should be cleaned out when sediment fills the lower half of the basin. 4.2 Vector Control Due to the nature of the debris disposed in this landfill unit, vector control is not anticipated to be of concern. Note that the use of periodic cover will discourage animals from nesting in the debris. 4.3 Odor Control Due to the nature of the debris disposed in this landfill unit, odor control is not anticipated to be of concern. However, if odor control becomes a problem, additional measures (such as additional cover) will be implemented to ensure odor control. 4.4 Dust Control Dust related to equipment operations and traffic on the access roads will be minimized by strict enforcement of slow speeds across the site. During dry periods and as needed, a water truck will be used to control dust.

The information contained herein was prepared to provide facility personnel with methodology and reporting requirements to satisfy these requirements. 5.2 Documentation An essential component of solid waste facilities is documentation from the time the materials enter the site to the last cubic yard of material is disposed or delivered to the customer. The documentation is used to improve efficiency in the process, modify process designs, and in troubleshooting of the process. The establishment of a reliable continuing record for proof of performance, thus justifies operational decisions, expenditures, and recommendations. Daily operational records also provide information useful in process adjustments required due to climatic or seasonal changes or other recurring problems of a specific nature. Accurate records also provide the basis for planning future expansion, planning future modifications, establishing, and adjusting operating budgets, and providing evidence of performance in compliance with regulatory agencies. The NC DEQ Division of Waste Management requires record keeping on the inflow and outflow of material. Personnel from the NC DEQ Division of Waste Management will make periodic visits to the facility. During these inspections, a review of operational and other records may be requested. The following are points in the process where monitoring documentation are anticipated: (i) Debris Screening Logs (ii) Daily Volume Records (iii) Employee Training Procedures and Records of Training Completed (iv) Un-Acceptable Wastes Disposal Tickets (v) Grinding and Chipping Logs (vi) Laboratory Testing identifying soil or mulch properties such as density and gradation (if performed). (vii) Screening Logs (viii) Finished Product Inventory identifying the quantity and type of material produced by classification. (ix) All Closure Information where applicable including testing, certification and recording. (x) Annual Report for the period of July 1 to June 30 will be submitted to the Division by August 1 st of each year.
