1. From 1979 to 1997, the Edgecombe County Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF)
operated on this property as a permitted MSWLF under Permit No. 33-01, with a disposal
area of 68 acres. The landfill was not constructed with a liner below the waste. The
unlined MSWLF was incrementally operated from the eastern section toward the western
section. The eastern section, encompassing approximately 33 acres, began receiving
waste in 1979 and was closed in 1991. The western section, encompassing
approximately 35 acres, began receiving waste in 1991, stopped receiving wastes in
1997, and was closed in 2000. The size of the closed unlined MSWLF disposal area is 68
acres. The volume of the closed unlined MSWLF is approximately 340,618 tons or
approximately 681,236 cubic yards.
2. In 1997, the transition plan for the MSWLF included a permit modification request to
construct and operate a Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill (C&DLF) Unit on
top of the closed unlined MSWLF. On December 30, 1997 the C&DLF Unit – Phase 1
began receiving waste. According to the Resolution of the Edgecombe County Board of
Commissioners dated June 30, 2014, the C&DLF Unit consists of a 35.34-acre waste
footprint and has a remaining waste capacity of 964,500 cubic yards (as of June 2013)
and estimated service life of approximately 29.2 years, based on the average waste
disposal rate of 13,000 tons per year (DIN 26597).
