(S+G) is pleased to respond to your September 15, 2016 comments (Attached) on behalf of Waste Industries’ High Point Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) Solid Waste Facility. Please find our responses (bold) corresponding to your comments presented in italics. Comment 1 Attachment K – Design Hydrogeologic Report, Section 3.0 Geology and Groundwater Characteristics, 3.1 Surface Topography and Drainage: Paragraph 3 states that “The Phase 3 expansion, as proposed, will impact wetlands and streams. …an Individual Permit has been submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and NC DEQ for review. Following approval, those documents will be submitted to NC DEQ.” Please submit the approved documents/permits or provide information regarding status of the reviews. The approved permit documents from the U.S. ACE are imminent and will be forwarded to your office upon receipt. Comment 2 Attachment K – Design Hydrogeologic Report, Tables and Figures: Table 2A lists longterm seasonal high (LTSH) elevation for GW2 as 778.57 and for GW3 as 755.89 feet above mean sea level. However, both in Figure 6 Hydrogeologic Cross Sections and in Figure 7 Long Term Seasonal High Potentiometric Surface Map, LTSH groundwater elevation is depicted for GW3 as 782.79 and for GW2 as 755.76 feet above mean sea level. Please clarify these significant differences and revise the drawings as necessary to reflect the accurate LTSH groundwater elevations. Response: Groundwater elevations related to GW-2 and GW-3 were misrepresented in both the table and figures 6 and 7. Table 2A, Figure 6 and Figure 7 have been revised to reflect the correct groundwater elevations for those locations. A revised Table 2A, Figure 6 and Figure 7 are attached.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 58ADE5F1-852E-4B7C-BFA4-BAA77670D9E2 WI High Point C&D Landfill Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Revised October 2016 Page 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Landfill Gas (LFG) Monitoring Plan (plan) was prepared by Smith Gardner, Inc. (S+G) to describe the LFG monitoring program at the WI High Point C&D Landfill owned and operated by WI High Point, LLC. (NC Solid Waste Permit 41-16), which is located at 5830 Riverdale Road, Jamestown, North Carolina. This plan describes the necessary procedures to satisfy applicable regulatory requirements (Section 1.1) for landfill gas monitoring. The best available site data, practices, experience and judgment were utilized to develop this plan. However, the plan may require modifications over time to accommodate changing landfill conditions, changing receptors in areas adjacent to and around the landfill, or other conditions that cannot be fully anticipated. Uncontrolled migration of LFG (particularly methane (CH4)) can result in, loss of life, injury, loss of property, vegetative damage, and intolerable odors. Landfill monitoring includes exposure to explosive gases. Monitoring personnel should be specifically trained in the management and response for situations such as fire or explosion and confined space entry and possess an awareness of changing conditions around the landfill. Note that this plan does not address landfill gas collection and control, air quality, or other related landfill gas regulations or requirements which may be applicable to this site at present or in the future. 1.1 Regulatory Requirements – C&D Landfills Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0544(d) of the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules requires the following for facilities having a C&D landfill: • Owners or operators of C&D landfill units must ensure that: o the concentration of methane gas or other explosive gases generated by the facility does not exceed 25 percent of the lower explosive limit in on- site facility structures (excluding gas control or recovery system components); o the concentration of methane gas or other explosive gases does not exceed the lower explosive limit for methane or other explosive gases at the facility property boundary; and o the facility does not release methane gas or other explosive gases in any concentration that can be detected in off-site structures. • Owners or operators of C&D landfill units must implement a routine methane monitoring program and perform monitoring on at least a quarterly basis. • If regulatory limits for methane gas concentrations are exceeded, a contingency plan must be implemented for the protection of human health and safety.

The approximately 158 acre facility is located approximately 6 miles east of High Point, in Guilford County. Area development is a mix of agricultural, industrial/ commercial and landfill use. In general, development in the area is primarily along the main roads. The site and surrounding area are shown on Figure 1. 1.4.1 Site Geology The WI High Point C&D Landfill facility is located in the North Carolina Piedmont Physiographic Province characterized by moderately rolling valleys and ridges. The Geologic Map of North Carolina (USGS, 1985) indicates that the site lies within the Carolina Slate Belt; Late Proterozoic to Cambrian age volcanic and sedimentary rock metamorphosed to lower greenshist facies with multiple intrusions. The site is underlain by white to gray, fine to coarse grained, granitic rock. 1.4.2 Local Groundwater Regime The hydrogeology at this site has been investigated using, groundwater monitoring wells and aquifer slug tests. Groundwater flows primarily southwest, towards Richland Creek and its tributaries, with additional flow south and west. Richland Creek is approximately 1300 feet from the facility boundary and flows into Deep River. The uppermost aquifer is saprolite, partially weathered rock (PWR) along with granitic bedrock. Groundwater occurs from approximately ten feet below grade or less in the downgradient wells near the Richland Creek tributaries to twenty-five feet below grade upgradient of the waste area. Locally, the C&D site is bounded Richland Creek and its tributaries to the west and south. DocuSign Envelope ID: 58ADE5F1-852E-4B7C-BFA4-BAA77670D9E2 WI High Point C&D Landfill Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Revised October 2016 Page 4 2.0 MONITORING PROGRAM Currently landfill gas at the site is monitored quarterly by advancing bar-hole punches at each landfill monitoring point location. Bar-hole punch technology is used, rather than permanent monitoring wells, due to the shallow nature of groundwater and bedrock at the site. The plan contained herein includes the continued program for advancement of bar-hole punch locations to monitor for subsurface landfill gas migration as well as landfill gas monitoring in on-site structures. 2.1 Monitoring Points Streams are located adjacent to or within the property boundary to the northwest and southwest; limiting the possibility of landfill gas migration in these directions. Therefore, landfill gas monitoring points are focused along the northern and eastern property line where residential development is more predominant and surface water bodies do not prevent LFG migration off the property. The existing landfill gas monitoring locations include BH-1 through BH-5. These are bar-hole punch locations that have been monitored quarterly at the site. Existing monitoring locations are shown on Figure 1. No additional monitoring locations are proposed at this time. 2.2 Facility Structure Monitoring Occupied structures on the property will be monitored quarterly. The following facility structures will be monitored: • Scalehouse; and • Maintenance Building. If desired, a dedicated methane monitor may be installed within one or more of these structures. Otherwise, monitoring will be conducted quarterly with the landfill gas monitoring points. 2.3 Monitoring and Reporting Monitoring and reporting of LFG concentrations will be performed as outlined below. During these events the following LFG constituents will be monitored: methane, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen and carbon dioxide. 2.3.1 Frequency Routine LFG monitoring will be conducted on a quarterly basis. DocuSign Envelope ID: 58ADE5F1-852E-4B7C-BFA4-BAA77670D9E2 WI High Point C&D Landfill Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Revised October 2016 Page 5 2.3.2 Personnel LFG monitoring will be performed by personnel who are familiar with the requirements of this plan and who are trained in LFG hazards and explosive gas meter use. As practical, a designated technician will be assigned to regular LFG monitoring duty. 2.3.3 Equipment A portable gas analyzer will be used to monitor barhole locations and LFGCCS components (if applicable). This analyzer, which is calibrated to methane (CH4), operates using the infrared spectral property of methane to measure concentrations in air. Measurements of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) will also be made with this meter. This meter may be used in oxygen deficient areas (less than 10% O2) since oxygen is not required for a chemical combustion of flammable gases within the meter. On the day of monitoring, prior to monitoring activities, this meter will be field calibrated. Additionally, monitoring equipment should be regularly calibrated in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and operated only as instructed. 2.3.4 Procedures Prior to each monitoring event, the portable gas analyzer will be calibrated with a known calibration standard in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. General information related to the monitoring event, equipment used, calibration procedures, weather conditions, and results for each monitoring event will be recorded on the landfill gas monitoring data form (Appendix A). The following steps outline the procedure for the monitoring of LFG wells and facility structures: • Check calibration date on the meter and calibrate according to manufacturer’s instructions; allowing equipment to warm up properly prior to use, per manufacturers direction. • Purge sample tube for one minute before monitoring. LFG Monitoring Points: o Connect instrument to tubing from the barhole equipment. o Open the valve and record both the initial and stabilized methane concentrations. A stabilized concentration will not vary more than 0.5 percent by volume on the instrument’s scale. Also record the oxygen concentration (at two percent per volume or less to DocuSign Envelope ID: 58ADE5F1-852E-4B7C-BFA4-BAA77670D9E2 WI High Point C&D Landfill Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Revised October 2016 Page 6 indicate air is not being drawn into the system and providing false readings) and the carbon dioxide concentration. o Close the valve and disconnect the tubing. o Record monitoring data on the LFG monitoring data form provided in Appendix A. o If any methane concentration is greater than 50% of the LEL (2.5% CH4), monitoring personnel should implement the Precautionary Action Plan (Section 2.3.5). o If both initial and stabilized methane concentrations are less than 50% of the LEL (2.5% CH4), move to next LFG monitoring location. o If any hydrogen sulfide concentration is greater than 4%, monitoring personnel should, immediately recalibrate and re- measure the location. If the concentration is still above 4%, notify the Landfill Manager and the Engineer. Structures: o Walk through the facility structure with a methane analyzer and monitor the perimeter wall interface of the structure, the floor to wall interface in hallways and rooms, and any floor penetrations in the structure. Record the initial and stabilized methane concentrations, oxygen concentration, and carbon dioxide concentration. o Record monitoring data on the LFG monitoring data form provided in Appendix A. o Notify the Landfill Manager, Operations Manager and the Engineer for any methane concentration greater than 0% of the LEL. IF A STABILIZED METHANE CONCENTRATION IS GREATER THAN 100% OF THE LEL IN A LFG MONITORING WELL OR GREATER THAN 25% OF THE LEL IN A FACILITY STRUCTURE, THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED: 1) Recalibrate monitoring equipment and confirm results. 2) If results are confirmed, IMMEDIATELY contact the Landfill Manager and the Engineer. 3) Implement the Compliance Action Plan located in Section 3.1. A flowchart of potential actions if exceedances are noted is included as Figure 2. 2.3.5 Precautionary Action Plan If an initial or stabilized methane concentration is greater than or equal to 50% of the LEL in a LFG monitoring well, monitoring personnel should perform the following additional steps at this location: DocuSign Envelope ID: 58ADE5F1-852E-4B7C-BFA4-BAA77670D9E2 WI High Point C&D Landfill Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Revised October 2016 Page 7 • Record at least one additional methane concentration measurement, from the barhole location and a second location nearby. • Evaluate the surrounding area for potential receptors to or signs of LFG migration. LFG can stress vegetation and can kill trees and grass by root asphyxiation. Note stressed/dead vegetation areas on the monitoring form. • Notify the Landfill Manager and the Engineer for further evaluation. 2.3.6 Record Keeping Routine LFG monitoring events will be documented on the LFG monitoring data form provided in Appendix A. Completed forms will be placed in the landfill operating record located at 5830 Riverdale Road, Jamestown, North Carolina 27282. These forms will be available for review by DWM personnel on request. Documentation of any contingency plan actions (Section 3.0) will also be kept in the operating record. 2.4 Maintenance Periodic maintenance and site observations will be conducted routinely to address monitoring program components (at a minimum): • Maintain access to LFG monitoring locations. • Observe landfill cover conditions, areas of dead vegetation, leachate seeps, odors, etc. as indications of potential LFG-related problems. Note deficiencies on the monitoring forms and report to the Solid Waste Operations Manager for repair or replacement as necessary.
