Page 3

102,000 square foot warehouse. The solid waste activities will be conducted within the east
section of the warehouse space (approximately 50,000 square feet) and the remaining space is
reserved for proposed future expansion. The storage areas occupy approx. 20,000 square feet
with the remainder utilized for processing and transfer activities.
A copy of the USGS topographic map can be found in Appendix III. A letter from the City of

Section 3 – Operation Plan
The Operation Plan for the facility can be found in Appendix VI.

Section 4 – Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan

The proposed transfer facility will conduct all activities indoors, so no land disturbance activities
will occur; as a result, a sedimentation and erosion control plan is not applicable.

Section 5 – Financial Assurance
The closure of the facility will be managed in the following manner:
All receipt of material will cease
All on-site inventory will be shipped off-site to landfill for final disposal
A third party industrial service provider will powerwash the operating areas of the facility and
equipment. The rinsate will be shipped offsite for disposal
Page 4

The associated closure cost = inventory disposal cost + clean-up cost
=maximum on-site inventory(Tons) X [Disposal Cost ($/Ton) + transportation cost
($/Ton)]+ 5X daily waste acceptance rate quantity(Tons) [Disposal Cost ($/Ton) +
transportation cost ($/Ton)] + rinsate disposal+transportation cost+ cleaning cost
=250 Tons X [$60/Ton + $33/Ton] + 5Days X 15 Tons/Day X [$60/Ton + $33/Ton] +
3gal/minX120minutesX$0.15/gal + $350/tote X 2 totes + $100/hrX5hours
= 250 Tons X $93/Ton + 75 Tons X $93/Ton + 360 galX $0.15 gal + $350X2 +$100X5
= $23,250 + $6,975 + $54 + $700 + $500
= $31,479
A surety bond will be issued to NCDEQ to satisfy the financial assurance requirements for
closure.
Section 6 – Traffic Study
Stericycle is requesting an exemption from a traffic study was due to number of truck arrivals
per day (2) which will have negligible impact on the highway route (US 29) which has an
Average Annual Daily Traffic of 20,000 vehicles (AADT 2014).

Introduction

Stericycle Environmental Solutions, Inc. (Stericycle) located at 211 Rockingham
Drive, Reidsville NC (Facility) operates a packaging by-product recovering facility
on a leased property in Rockingham County. The facility currently accepts
consumer products for baling and repackaging which are then sent to a recycler.

Stericycle desires to expand its offerings to include the management and disposal
of consumer products that qualify as non-hazardous wastes when they are
received at the facility and as such, are subject to North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality Solid Waste Rules (15A NCAC 13B)

Waste Information & Service Area
The facility proposes to accept consumer by-products in various sized containers
that are typically palletized and not useable for various reasons, expired, off-spec,
production overruns, discontinued, etc.). These consumer products are mainly
personal care products – health & beauty, OTC medication from the
manufacturer. These product wastes would be separated, shredded, re-packaged,
consolidated or transferred off-site to a recycler or disposal facility.
The facility intends to initially service Guilford, Edgecombe and Vance Counties.
The facility proposes to accept approximately 15 Tons of consumer by-product
daily.

Hours of Operation
The facility intends to operate approximately 255 days per year. The hours of
operations are 07:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday. The facility will normally be
closed on New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Waste Management
Stericycle pre-approves all material destined for receipt at the facility. Only non-
hazardous consumer products & by-products are pre-approved for receipt at the
facility. Pre-approval is based on SDSs and customer knowledge of the product.
Only pre-approved material will be scheduled for pick-up at the customer’s site.
Material will arrive via truck palletized or in bins/boxes containing various sized
containers. Every inbound load is inspected for packaging integrity as well as
conformance to the pre-approved material. The packages are placed on a table
3

for visual inspection then segregated depending on the type of management
activity. Foreign material that may be found in containers of consumer products
are segregated and held awaiting approval for disposition.
Shredding – product destined for shredding is staged at the shredder then
processed. The shredded material is stored in a bulk container for shipment
offsite for waste-to-energy.
Separation – product may be de-manufactured into separate components (plastic,
metal, batteries. The plastic is bulked into a container and sent off-site to a
plastics recycler. The metal is bulked into a bin and sent to a scrap metal dealer.
Batteries are packaged according to type and shipped off-site to a recycler.
Baling – OCC, plastic and paper from product packaging is baled and shipped off-
site to a recycler.
Consolidation – waste products that cannot be recycled are consolidated into bulk
containers and shipped to landfill for final disposal.
Product Storage – product may be stored on behalf of the manufacturer for
return at a later date.
A material flow diagram (Figure 1) identifies the flow of product from facility
arrival to off-site shipment to a recycler or disposal facility.
Material that cannot be recycled or recovered is shipped to the following landfills
based on their service area:
• East Carolina Regional Landfill
• Foothills Environmental Landfill
• City of Greensboro Landfill
Recyclables are shipped to Sonoco Recycling, Greensboro NC
Consumer product solids that meet waste-to-energy specifications are sent to
Covanta Energy - Fairfax
4

All inbound by-products for recycling and disposal are pre-approved into all
recycling and disposal outlets. Material that does not have a pre-approved outlet
will not be received at the facility to prevent excess storage times and eliminate
speculative recycling.

Equipment
The facility equipment includes a shredder, horizontal baler, vertical baler and
compactor for consumer by-products, OCC, plastic and paper processing. Truck
loading and unloading occurs through the use of pallet jacks and forklifts. Material
handling equipment will include drum dollies and pallet jacks.
Sanitary Control
The facility does not receive putrescible waste; as a result, the vector controls are
limited to normal pest control through third party contracts. Materials are
received and stored in containers indoors and never dumped on the floor; as a
result, there will be minimal occurrences of windblown material leaving the
facility. Daily housekeeping includes tramp and debris removal in the facility and
routine inspection of the property perimeter for tramp and debris removal.

Signage
The facility entrance sign will be in conformance with NC DEQ solid waste rules
and include
• operating hours
• permit number
• emergency number
• acceptable wastes (Acceptable Materials - recyclables and consumer
product wastes)
• Unacceptable Materials – municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, PCB
waste, medical waste and petroleum products’.
5

Directional signs to the loading/unloading area of the facility will also be posted in
strategic areas noting speed limit

Site Security & Access Roads
All entrances to the warehouse are locked at all times and can only be accessed
through a preassigned code. All visitors, drivers are escorted while on the
property. Security cameras are strategically located inside the facility and around
the outside perimeter and continually monitor and record activity. Security is
provided through fencing and barriers. The entrance gate is locked outside of
operating hours. The main access road to the site is Rockingham Drive from
Barnes Street. Truck traffic is anticipated to be 2 trucks per day. Direct access to
the facility entrance will be maintained as well as all paved areas surrounding the
facility.
Training
A training summary for all employees is included at the end of the Operation Plan

Contingency Plan
A contingency plan for the Facility is included at the end of the Operation Plan

Operating Records
All operating records, permits, correspondences etc. will be maintained
electronically and/or hardcopy in the facility manager’s office.
