Re: Approval of Phase III Operating Capacity Modification
Cumberland County (Ann Street) Subtitle D Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) Unit, Cumberland
County, North Carolina
Permit No. 2601-MSWLF-1997, Document ID No. (DIN) 26574

Dear Mr. Howard:

On August 03, 2016 the Division Waste Management (DWM), Solid Waste Section (SWS) received an electronic
copy of a written request (DIN 26572), prepared by CDM Smith, Inc. on behalf of Cumberland County (the
County), to modify the interim closure grades of the above-referenced lined MSWLF Unit - Phase III in order to
increase the operating air space of the Phase III, which is a vertical expansion over the existing MSWLF - Phases I
and II.

After reviewing the permit modification application, the SWS approves the County’s request to increase:
 Interim closure grades of the lined MSWLF Unit - Phase III up to 215 feet above of mean seal level as
shown on the Figures 1-1 & 1-2 (DIN 26572).

 The eastern side of slope of the lined MSWLF at a slope of 3.5 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical).

 The operating capacity of the existing Phases I, II, and III from 4,157,653 cubic yards (CY) to 4,304,653
CY which results in the increase of the approved total gross capacity of the lined MSWLF from 6,682,400
CY to 6,739,400 CY (about 0.9% increment of the approved gross capacity).
Please place this approval letter to the landfill operating record. If you have any questions, please contact myself at
919-707-8281 or my staff Ming Chao at 919-707-8251 [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Edward F. Mussler, III, P.E.
