BILL`HOLMAN-- 484 Mulberry Street, Suite 26.5 SECRETARY Macon, Georgia 31201 RE: Revisions To Site Application And Facility Plan East Carolina Regional MSW Landfill WILLIAM L. MEYER Bertie County, Permit Number 08-03 DIRECTOR Dear Mr. Hodges, The hydrogeologic review has been .completed for the December 1999 revisions to the Site Application And Facility Plan for the East Carolina Regional Landfill. While most of my initial review comments and questions have been addressed in a satisfactory manner, there are still a few items that need to be addressed before the hydrogeologic review can be completed. Please consider the following questions and comments and respond as necessary: Regional Characterization Study Drawing There are a number of the drawings that show a triangle of land to the north of the existing permitted facility to be inside the proposed facility boundaries. This property is not a part of the existing facility and has not been characterized or proposed for inclusion in the expanded facility. The drawings need to be revised to exclude this area from the facility boundaries. Local Characterization Study Drawing It appears that the 100 year flood line is incorrectly offset to the north a couple of hundred feet. .1620 Engineering Plan Thank you for the additional background information on the issue of "the base of the Layer 1 soils being equivalent to the seasonal high water table". While this information is sufficient for Site Suitability, it will be necessary to provide additional locally specific information in the area of future phases of development in the Construction Plan Application(s). 1646 MAIL SERVICE CENTER, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27699-1646 401 OBERLIN ROAD, SUITE 150, RALEIGH, NC 27605 PHONE 919-733-4996 FAX 919-715-3605 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY / AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER - 50% RECYCLED/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER Mr. William Hodges East Carolina MSWLF Revised Site Plan Application Page 2 .1622 Location Restrictions Water Supply Watersheds: What is the 15A NCAC 2B surface water classification for the receiving streams of the site? On page 40 the report states: "The facility will obtain an NPDES Permit..." Why is this necessary, since leachate is being recirculated or transported off -site? Geologic and Hydrogeologic Investigations Pg 3-7 There is a water mark on this page that makes part of the text illegible. 3.5.4 What are the pumping rates for the on -site water supply wells? Additional, more specific information will be needed in the Construction Plan Application regarding "Man-made Influences to Ground -water levels". 3.6.5 Excavation: More detailed information is needed on the exact location, limits, and depths of borrow areas. What ditching and pumping may be associated with excavation, and how will this affect the hydrology of the area? The proposal to fill the deep ditches needs to be evaluated in detail in the Construction Plan Application (s), to determine the overall effect on hydrology. (If the deep ditches are lowering the water table two feet, it may be better to retain some of the perimeter ditches.) Table 1 There are errors in the USCS soil classifications for two of the B-57 entries. Tables 3 & 4 Are there any revisions in the new Tables 3 and 4 that were submitted in the December 1999 revision package? Table 6 Why were some of the K values revised in the Dec. 1999 revision of Table 6? In converting T values to K values, how was aquifer thickness determined, especially for the Layer 4 aquifer, where the bottom of the aquifer is unknown? Figure 8 Now that I better understand how you are interpreting the data, it appears the revised Figure 8 is reasonable. However, in the cover letter for the December 1999 Addendum to Site Hydrogeologic Report, on page 8 the Layer III thicknesses appear to be listed in an incorrect order. Appendix F Soil Laboratory Test Results: On the sheet plotting Atterberg Limits, the data for B-57 UD1 and UD3 were plotted correctly on the original submittal, and are now plotted incorrectly on the revised submittal. Mr. William Hodges East Carolina MSWLF Revised Site Plan Application Page 3 None of the comments for Volume 2, on page 7 of my previous review letter of November 4, 1999, appear to have been addressed in the December package of revisions. In summary, while most of the substantive issues in my initial hydrogeologic review letter have been addressed, there are still a few items that need clarification or revision. Please address these issues as soon as possible, so we can complete the Site Study Application review. If you or your consultants have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at (919) 733-0692, extension 258.

As I informed you, Republic Services, Inc. is planning to merge all of its North Carolina subsidiaries into one company, which will be known as "Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC" and which will be formed under the laws of North Carolina. Republic Services, Inc. also plans to merge its three Kentucky corporations which operate in North Carolina (East Carolina Environmental, Inc., Upper Piedmont Environmental, Inc. and Uwharrie Environmental, Inc.) into Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC.'

During our conversation I requested your guidance with respect to obtaining appropriate name change amendments of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("NCDENR") permits held by Republic Services, Inc.'s subsidiaries to reflect the consolidation of such subsidiaries into Republic Services of North Carolina. LLC. As noted above, ultimate parent comi)anv ownership of the facilities holding the permits is not changing rather the names of the Republic subsidiaries which own and/or operate facilities are changing to that of another Republic subsidiarv. Moreover, Republic Services, Inc. would like the names of the facilities to stay the same and for correspondence related to the facility to continue going to the appropriate facility contacts on the existing permits. For instance, facilities currently registered as owned and operated by Garbage Disposal Service, Inc. would, after the merger, be registered as owned and operated by Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC d/b/a Garbage Disposal Service. Pursuant to our conversation you explained that you would let us know what type of documents need to be filed to, effectuate the consolidation planned by Republic Services, Inc. after you receive a chart showing the various subsidiaries of Republic Services, Inc. as well as a list of NCDENR permits currently held by Republic subsidiaries. Attached hereto please find a Republic Services, Inc. corporate chart as well as a table listing NCDENR permits held by various subsidiaries of Republic Services, Inc. I look forward to hearing back from you and, in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me at 954-468-1343 with any questions you may have. Sincerely, Osmer D. Batcheller cc.
