Windrows are to be oriented along the slopes to prevent ponding of water and will be generally in a Northwest to Southeast orientation. 12. Mulch is absorbent of water by nature. The mulch piles will be placed to allow proper sheet flow of storm water away from ponding conditions. Personnel of the facility will monitor the yard for any collection of runoff and ensure proper and safe drainage away from mulch piles. 13. Silt fence installed upslope and rip rap in ditch lines prior to any drainage features. All are located on the left side of the roadway (NC 280) entrance. Silt fence with a couple of silt fence outlets could be installed along the 50' stream buffer to limit site runoff from entering stream prior to infiltration. 14. A note stating the stockpile dimensions has been added to the end of the third paragraph in the Report for Permit Application, the third item in the Operation and Maintenance Plane and in the Storage ofMaterials section of the Operation and Maintenance Plan. 15. The operation would haul boiler fuel off as necessary to limit thickness of pad. 16. A 150' x 150' pad with no separation is proposed. The area is monitored daily for high temperatures. Depending on the moisture content, color of material and sales rate the time stored varies. 1 7. Flagging and stakes are to be installed and maintained to delineate the 50 foot setback to property line and to the stream. 18. Closure would include stopping incoming material, haul mulch off for boiler fuel and sell to the public until all material were removed from the site.

The facility receives and processes stumps, brush and other clean, woody waste materials into recycled products (mulch) and boiler fuel. The processed materials are mostly shipped to commercial accounts for gardening products and to facilities that utilize the recycled material as boiler fuel. The facility is currently operating under a North Carolina Division of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR): North Carolina Division of Waste Management, Composting and Land Application Branch's Notified Yard Waste Facility (YWN) Permit. In an effort to increase the capacity of the facility, the owner is seeking to obtain a Treatment and Processing Facility Permit, which will enable the facility to operate on more than two (2) acres and store more than 6,000 cubic yards of material quarterly. The facility under the NCDENR Treatment and Processing Permit will operate under all regulations. The grinder currently in use at the facility is the loudest piece of equipment and will not be any louder than the current operation. The site is located at 5055 Old Haywood Road (NC Hwy 191) at the intersection of Old Haywood Road and Boylston Hwy (NC Hwy 280). The facility operates Monday-Saturday 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The property is owned by 229 Properties, Inc. and the parcel identification number is 9632-60-2823 deed book 926 page 584. The site is zoned for Mixed Use and lies within the jurisdictional area of the Town of Mills River Fire District. The adjoining parcels are all zoned as Mixed Use. The site is bounded on the east side by Old Haywood Road (NC 191) and Boylston Highway (NC 280), on the north and west by farmland and to the south by a vacant parcel. There is an existing communication tower facility also located centrally within the property. The distance to the nearest residence is approximately 700 linear feet. The distance to the nearest offsite commercial building is approximately 800 linear feet. No known wells exist within 100 linear feet off site. Project# 21407 l i Page The facility processes wood waste, and any other untreated wood products into recycled materials for reuse. Waste material is delivered in trucks from landscaping and construction sources. The waste material is brought to the site for processing through the northeast entrance off Old Haywood Road and is inspected on the truck to ensure the material is acceptable. A sign at both entries shall be maintained with information on types of acceptable waste, the permit number, and emergency phone numbers. Demolition waste or any type of waste that cannot be processed into mulch or bio-generation fuel is not accepted. Once the waste material is accepted, the truck is directed to dump the material at one of the sorting stockpiles. The material is sorted into three categories for processing. One category of end product requires that the processed material be very clean and to contain little dirt and contamination. The two other categories require varying degrees of cleanliness for the final production. The sorting process is done prior to chipping the material. Any material that is deemed unsuitable is separated into a stockpile that is hauled off to the sanitary landfill. Materials deemed unsuitable include metals, hazardous waste, trash, demolition waste, construction lumber, drywall, painted, treated and engineered lumber products, grass clippings etc.. All waste material is inspected twice when it arrives at the facility. The material is inspected while on the truck before unloading. Any trucks that contain any observable materials not acceptable for processing are immediately rejected from the facility in the truck in from which it arrived. If there are unacceptable materials buried in the load when it arrives then it is usually found when the material is dumped at the stockpile. If unacceptable materials are found in a load after it is dumped then the material is reloaded in the truck and rejected from the site immediately. Any materials that get past these two inspections are found when the material is sorted before it is sent to be loaded into the grinder for processing. Once the material has been processed, it is transferred to one of the designated stockpiles for processed materials. All stockpiles, processed and unprocessed, will be no larger than 50' wide and 30' high, unlimited length within boundaries. The processed materials are then loaded onto trucks for off-site delivery. Equipment on the site includes one (1) grinder capable of handling stumps and tree trunks, one (1) tracked excavator to load material into the grinder, one (1) portable office, and one (1) portable toilet for sanitary requirements. In addition, there are dump trucks that are operated to transfer processed materials off-site to clients or accumulated waste materials to the landfill if necessary. One (1)-two (2) employees are on site to manage and handle the process. Additionally there are dump trucks operating to transfer the materials off the site to end-users to the landfill if necessary. END USES The final product of this facility consists of three classes of product, fuel, clean fuel, and mulch. Fuel is processed and sent to the Domtar, Inc. in Kingsport Tennessee. This material is incorporated in their process as either fuel in their Co-Gen plant or into their final paper product. Clean Fuel, is processed and sent to Multitrade, 1585 York House Rd, Rabun Gap, GA 30568. This material is burned to generate power. Mulch is processed and sold to a variety of commercial accounts and wholesalers and the general public. ACM Project# 21407 2 1Page There are no asbestos containing material on site since there is not demolition waste is accepted at this facility. WASTEWATER There is not a sanitary sewer system connected to this site since there are not permanent facilities. All wastewater is contained in the Porta-John, which is serviced by the supplier on a regular basis. FLOODPLAIN The facility is in conformance with the Henderson County Flood ordinance. None of the facility is constructed in the protected floodway. Since the material is not deposited in the floodway (the area of the waterway that transports floodwaters downstream) nor are any of the operations in the protected floodway. FEMA map numbers 3700963200J, 3700963100J (See attached). It is apparent that the entire site and all of the operations are above the base flood elevation and therefore cannot affect the over bank capacity of the flood system. Therefore has no affect on the design flood.

II 5055 Old Haywood Road (NC 191) Mills River, NC 28759 1. Materials are received from general public. All material is inspected to make sure it is clean and all yard waste or untreated wood products. Unacceptable materials including metal of any kind, trash, demolition waste, construction lumber, drywall, any painted materials, grass clippings, treated wood, engineered wood products, construction wastes, and etc are rejected. Yard waste including leaves will not be accepted at this facility. Direct the material to the dump stockpile. 2. All materials are sorted by cleanliness. The cleanest materials go to the chipper for processing. The other materials shall be sent to the stream for processing as fuel or for Domtar Inc. or the Rabun Gap or as mulch. Unacceptable material discovered shall be reloaded on the truck that delivered it immediately and sent off site. If the delivery truck has left the site the material shall be sorted and loaded on the first available truck and delivered to the appropriate landfill or other legally licensed facility. Small amounts of unacceptable materials sorted from the waste are loaded in 8 CY dumpsters for disposal. CWS will haul out. 3. The materials shall be chipped and stored in piles on site. Material shall be stockpiled in windrows. Material in the windrows shall be circulated until sale. All stockpiles, processed and unprocessed, will be no larger than 50' wide and 30' high, unlimited length within boundaries. 4. Also, the southern 1/3 of subject site is utilized for the receipt of land clearing waste which is subsequently ground, placed for a period of time in four to five foot pad depths for aging and then subsequently removed, transported out by end users, and then replenished. The area previously described is further divided into approximately three separate areas so that various sections or areas of the pad are in different stages at different times (i.e. #1 could be aging, #2 could be actively being filled with newly ground mulch and #3 could be the consumer source) and the process simply rolls between the areas described all the while the "dumping, grinding and loading out operations" are taking place on the top of the two aging and consumer pads. Given the geometry and topography of the subject site this is a more realistic option for receipt, aging and distribution of the material than is the option of aging the material in traditional windrows on the subject site. The operator shall be responsible for maintaining a timeline and graphic representation of the initial pad placement of the material after grinding. In Project# 21407 41Page addition, the operator shall be responsible for documenting the subsequent removal of this material from said pad depth and distribution of the same to consumers. 5. Operators shall be responsible for managing a site plan grid indicating the turnover time frame of the aged mulch by spreader area. Equipment Maintenance: Equipment on the site includes one (1) grinder capable of handling stumps and tree trunks, one (1) tracked excavator to load material into the grinder, one (1) portable office, and one (1) portable toilet for sanitary requirements. In addition, there are dump trucks that are operated to transfer processed materials off-site to clients or accumulated waste materials to the landfill if necessary. Storage of Materials: The materials are stored in windrows on site, the windrows are planned to be approximately 25 feet wide at the bottom and 15 feet high and are oriented east/west on the site. All stockpiles, processed and unprocessed, will be no larger than 50' wide and 30' high, unlimited length within boundaries. Control Measures: 1. Daily trash or litter generation will be maintained on the site in receptacles that shall be emptied on a regular basis. 2. Given the regional weather patterns, the material on site is not normally dusty and not subject under most circumstances to becoming a windborne nuisance. In the event that dust becomes an issue, the owner/operator have immediate access to a water truck. Since there are no food wastes on site, rodents are not a problem. 3. Runoff from the site is directed into drainage features around the site. Silt fences are erected at the locations where runoff is directed to stormwater collection features. These sediment fences will serve to control the migration of flotsam from the site in a storm event. The disturbed areas of the site are either seeded or stabilized with mulch in accordance with the erosion control ordinance. Silt fence with at least two silt fence outlets will buffer the facility at the 50 foot buffer offset along the east of the parcel. Emergency Response Plan: Staff: 1. This site is located in the limits of the Town of Mills River and is services by those responders. All emergency situations shall be reported to the 911 system for Fire, Police and Medical emergencies. 2. Nonconforming waste shall be sent off the site with the person that delivered it to the site. Any other waste shall be loaded in the employee or contract operated hauler and delivered to the Henderson County Sanitary Landfill Facility. 1. Manager. The manager is responsible for the business operation of the facility and general direction of the operation. 2. Superintendent. The Superintendent is responsible for specific operation of the load when it arrives at the site and handles the business transactions. 3. Operators: Operators are responsible for operating the equipment and handling the materials. Project# 21407 5 I Page Contingencies: Safety: 1. The facility operates in all weather. The entrance to the facility is gated and paved allowing for operation in inclement weather. Should the weather be so bad as to preclude access to the facility on the state road system (blizzard), the gate is locked and there is no access to the facility. 2. Medical emergencies are dealt with by local emergency personnel. In the event of an emergency, on site personnel are trained in basic first aid in accordance with OSHA regulations. They will call 911 for the appropriate response team and administer first aid. 3. In case of a permanent closure of facility; stopping incoming material, haul mulch off for boiler fuel and sell to the public until all material were removed from the site. 1. Safety. Worker Safety on site is directed in compliance with the specific requirements ofthe NC Department of Labor and OSHA. Training: 1. All equipment operators are trained in the operation and general maintenance of the heavy equipment that is maintained on site. There is no plant equipment that does not fall into the category of construction equipment. Record Keeping: 1. Records for the facility will be kept on site with totals of material processed totaled each month by county of origin. All reporting will be made in tons. Since the material is not weighed when it comes into the facility, an appropriate factor will be used to convert from CY to tons. This factor is approximately 600lbs/CY loose fill in truck. (1 cord ( 4'x4'x8') wood is defined as 4000 lbs by the pulpwood industry, (4000lbs/1128cf)x(27cfi'ICY)=8441bs/CY. .. 6001bs/CY as adjusted for loose dumped in the truck. 2. Reports shall be submitted to the division on August 1 of each year for the preceding period August 1 through July 31.

GEoTEctiiCAI., ENIIRDNMEHTAL Arm CoNsTRUCTION MATERIALS CoHSUI.TAIITS Subject: TEST PIT EXPLORATION Riverside Stump Dump Mills River, North Carolina Project No. 9100-01 Dear Mr. Gardner: Pursuant to your request, we performed four test pits on May 7, 2014 on the Riverside Stump Dump site in Mills River, North Carolina to determine the elevation of the seasonal water table level. It is our pleasure to present our findings in the context of the petmitting process to establish the facility as a Treatment and Processing Center with the State. Project Information The Riverside Stump Dump is an operating waste wood recycling center of approximately 7 acres in size located in Mills River, North Carolina. The ownership is in the permitting process to become classified as a Treatment and Processing Center. Patt of this process includes the assessment of the site's water table elevation. The specific permitting language by the Division of Waste Management states that "A facility shall not be located where the permanent, seasonal, or perched water table is located within 12 inches of the soil surface. Seasonal water table infom1ation shall be provided from hand auger borings, test pits, or other suitable site specific methods that depicts seasonal groundwater depth at the site." As such, a number of test pits and a groundwater literature review were performed for the property, as outlined in detail below. Site Description The subject property is located northwest of the intersection of Old Haywood Road and Boylston Highway in Mills River, North Carolina. At the time of subsurface exploration, the site was an operating mulch storage facility. Surrounding the piled and compacted mulch was a grassy field. The site was located at the base of a prominent land fotm, the crest of which is approximately 60 feet above the site. The site generally slopes downward to the southeast towards an unnamed stream running from notih to east along the perimeter of the site. The creek is a tributary to the Mills River, the confluence to which is located approximately a mile downstream. Neighb01ing properties were occupied by grassy fields to the west and north, automotive shops to the south, and paved roads to the east. 130 OVAL ROAO, SUITE 200 ARDEN, NOR'TH CAROLINA 28704 PHONE (828) 277·0100 F ~X (828) 277 ·011 0 IILII3 .. , Test Pit Exploration Letter Riverside Stump Dump-Mills Rive1~ North Carolina Subsurface Exploration May 22, 2014 Asheville, North Carolina Four test pits were excavated within the mulch pad with a backhoe to depths ranging from 4 to 6 feet below the ground surface. The approximate test pit locations are shown on the attached Test Pit Log (Figure 2). The ground surface elevation at the test pits varied from approximately 2107 to 2138 feet referenced to the elevations shown on Figure 1 attached to this report. Locations for four test pits were distributed with respect to elevation and on-site constraints in order to gain a representative depiction of subsurface conditions for the site. The soils encountered were identified in the field, from excavated soils brought to the surface by the bucket of the excavator. The soil logs and photos for each test pit may be found in the following pages. The subsoil conditions at the test pit locations generally consisted of mulch, gravel, and topsoil in varying combinations to a depth ranging from 1.5 to 2 feet, underlain by silty clay soils to 5.5 feet, the maximum depth explored. Groundwater was encountered during the excavation oftest pits #2 and #3. In test pit #2, free water was entering the test pit from a depth in excess of 12 inches, in a layer which appeared to be a transition from topsoil into grey silty clay. In test pit #3, soil appeared to be entering the test pit from a layer of gravel (#57 stone) directly beneath the first layer of mulch. The test pits were allowed to remain open for 24 hours. Upon re-examination on May 81h, approximately 24 hours later, test pits #1 and #4 had remained dty. Standing water was observed in test pit #2 and test pit #3 at depths of30" and 28" below the ground surface, respectively. The free water elevation in test pit #3 was considerably lower than the elevation of the water observed to enter the test pit on the previous day, suggesting that the gravel layer had formed a manmade area of perched water not indicative of the natural water table elevation. USDA Literature Review A soil rating map was obtained from the United Stated Depattment of Agriculture (USDA) NRCS website, which provided regional infonnation regarding water table elevations. The map designates soil deposits (designated as "map units" across the site) and provides the depth to water for each deposit. The deposit having the highest groundwater on this site, symbolized as DeB, is shown as having a groundwater depth of 91 em over the time period from Januaty through December (Figure 3). This con·elates to the measurements made in the test pits. A~~e~sment None ofthe test pits excavated encountered standing groundwater conditions within 12 inches of the ground surface, which is consistent with the reviewed USDA literature. Based on these observations, it is BLE's opinion that the encountered conditions meet the requirements set fmih by the Division of Waste Management. It should be noted that ground water levels may fluctuate several feet with seasonal and rainfall variations and with changes in the water level in adjacent drainage features. Normally, the highest ground-water levels occur in late winter and spring and the lowest levels occur in late summer and fall. This exploration was conducted in early May, when groundwater levels would be expected to be higher.
