extinguishers located on each wall of the facility. A combination of factory installed fire
suppression systems and/or portable fire extinguishers will be operational on all heavy
pieces of equipment at all times. For larger and more serious outbreaks, the local fire
department will respond.
Fire Tetrahedron1 1.7.1
To better understand the properties of fire we can
examine the fundamental methods to extinguish it.
The fire “tetrahedron” illustrates the rule that in
order to ignite and burn, each component
represents a property of flaming fire; fuel, oxygen,
heat, and chemical chain reaction. A fire is
prevented or extinguished by removing any one of them. A fire naturally occurs
when the elements are combined in the right mixture (e.g., more heat needed for
igniting some fuels, unless there is concentrated oxygen). The fire tetrahedron is
a more modern adaptation of the traditional fire “triangle” recognizing the
chemical reactions that may occur as a component – “the uninhibited chain
reaction”. This chain reaction is the feedback of heat to the fuel to produce the
gaseous fuel used in the flame. In other words, the chain reaction provides the
heat necessary to maintain the fire. These principles are integral in the
prevention and management of potential fire situations. Please note this
information is considered as a basis of understanding and may be superseded by
the direction and skill of the local Fire Marshall.

Equipment 1.7.2
A combination of factory installed fire suppression systems and/or portable fire
extinguishers will be operational on all pieces of heavy equipment at all times.
Potential fire hazards are created from the build-up of fine, dry dust particles on
and around operational motors and control panels. The presence of these build-
ups can cause overheating and potential fire if periodic equipment cleaning and
maintenance are not practiced. Portable fire extinguishers should be maintained
in a state of readiness on each piece of moving equipment and equipment should
be cleaned periodically.

General Fire Management Strategies 1.7.3
Each fire situation is site specific; however, general strategies for active fire
management include the following (in no particular order):

April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 7
• Accelerated high temperature combustion (displacing fuel);
• Covering of the burn area with foams (reduce oxygen);
• Flooding the burn area with water (reduce heat);
• Injecting an inert gas such as CO2 (reduce oxygen); and
• Applying extinguishing agents that will interfere with and inhibit the
combustion process at the molecular level (breaking the chemical
reaction).

Notification 1.7.4
The Owner will verbally notify the DWM (see Section 1.2.3) within 24 hours of
discovery of a fire. In addition, written documentation describing the fire, the
actions carried out to extinguish the fire, and a strategy for preventing future
occurrences will be provided to the DWM within 15 days following any such
occurrence on the Fire Occurrence Notification Form included in Appendix A.

Coordination With Local Fire Department 1.7.5
A copy of this Operations Manual will be filed with the local fire department
including all contact information for the facility.

LITTER CONTROL 1.8
The vegetative trees/bushes act as a barrier to keep litter contained within the site
boundaries. Staff and operators pick up litter in and around the site on a daily basis and
respond to weather and heavy wind conditions that may compromise the appearance of
the property. The litter control crew picks up litter outside the site and on access roads
each weekday.

Customers are encouraged to contain and cover all waste within their vehicles/trailers
prior to entering the facility in an effort to reduce litter. Any load that is not secured in a
manner that would prevent material from leaving the vehicle while it is in motion is
subject to an additional fee. Trailers are encouraged to be covered by heavy tarp lids to
minimize litter and reduce the potential for the entrance of vectors into the disposal
operations.

SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS 1.9
Unusual weather conditions can directly affect the operations of the facility. Some of
these weather conditions and recommended operational responses are as follows.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6EB0F85C-4DE2-430F-92DA-42D39A47B492

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 8
Ice Storms 1.9.1
An ice storm can make access to the facility dangerous, prevent movement and
thus, may require closure of the facility until the ice is removed or has melted.
The determination to discontinue activities due to inclement weather conditions
will be made by the Transfer Station Manager.

Heavy Rains 1.9.2
Exposed soil surfaces can create a muddy situation in some portions of the
facility during rainy periods. The control of drainage and use of crushed stone on
unpaved roads should provide all-weather access for the site and promote
drainage away from critical areas. In areas where the aggregate surface is
washed away or otherwise damaged, new aggregate should be used for repair.

Electrical Storms 1.9.3
The open areas of the facility are susceptible to the hazards of an electrical
storm. If necessary, activities will be temporary suspended during such an
event. Refuge will be taken in the on-site building or in rubber tired vehicles.

Windy Conditions 1.9.4
Facility operations will be adjusted as necessary to account for windy conditions.

Violent Storms 1.9.5
In the event of hurricane, tornado, or severe winter storm warning issued by the
National Weather Service, facility operations may be temporarily suspended until
the warning is lifted. Buildings and equipment will be properly secured. A radio
capable of tuning to NOAA Weather Radio-Providence will be periodically
monitored by site personnel.

HEALTH AND SAFETY 1.10
All aspects of the facility operations were developed with the health and safety of the
operating staff, customers, and neighbors in mind. Prior to commencement of
operations at the facility, a member of the operating staff will be designated the site’s
safety officer. This individual, together with the facility’s management will modify the
site’s safety and emergency response program to ensure consistency with the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidance.

Safety equipment provided includes equipment rollover protection cabs, seat belts,
audible reverse warning devices, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), and first aid
kits. Facility personnel will be encouraged to complete the American Red Cross Basic
First Aid Course. Other safety requirements as designated by the Owner will also be
implemented.

Facility employees will be routinely trained in health and safety by supervisory staff. All
training will be documented. The following are some general recommendations for the
health and safety of workers at the WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC facility.

Personal Hygiene 1.10.1
The following items are recommended as a minimum of practice:

• Wash hands before eating drinking, or smoking.
• Wear personal protective equipment as described in Section 1.10.2.
• Wash, disinfect, and bandage ANY cut, no matter how small it is. Any
breaks in the skin can become a source of infection.
• Keep fingernails closely trimmed and clean (dirty nails can harbor
pathogens).

Personal Protection Equipment 1.10.2
PPE must be evaluated as to the level of protection necessary for particular
operating conditions and then made available to facility employees. The list
below includes the PPE typically used and/or required in a solid waste
management facility workplace.

• Safety shoes with steel toes.
• Noise reduction protection should be used in areas where extended
exposure to continuous high decibels levels is expected.
• Disposable rubber latex or chemical resistant gloves for handling and/or
sampling of waste materials.
• Dust filter masks.
• Hard hats (in designated areas).
• Portable eyewash.
• Safety goggles.
• Safety vests.

Following use, PPE’s should be disposed of or adequately cleaned, dried, or
readied for reuse.

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 10
Mechanical Equipment Hazard Prevention 1.10.3
All equipment should be operated with care and caution. All safety equipment
such as horns, backup alarms, and lights should be functional. A Lockout-
Tagout program will be used to identify equipment in need or under repair and
insure that operation is “off-limits” prior to maintenance or repair. All operators
will be trained in the proper operation of equipment.

Employee Health and Safety 1.10.4
Some general safety rules are:

• Consider safety first when planning and conducting activities.
• Review the equipment O&M manual(s) prior to attempting
repairs/changes.

WASTE SCREENING PROGRAMS 2.4
To assure prohibited wastes are not entering the facility, screening programs have been
implemented. Waste received at the scale house entrance and waste taken to the
tipping area or the storage container area is inspected by trained personnel. These
individuals have been trained to spot indications of suspicious wastes, including:
hazardous placarding or markings, liquids, powders or dusts, sludges, bright or unusual
colors, drums or commercial size containers, and "chemical" odors. Screening
programs for visual and olfactory characteristics of prohibited wastes are an ongoing
part of the facility operation.

Waste Receiving and Inspection 2.4.1
All vehicles must stop at the scale house located near the entrance of the facility
and visitors are required to sign-in. All waste transportation vehicles are
weighed and the content of the load assessed. The scale attendant(s) requests
from the driver of the vehicle a description of the waste it is carrying to ensure
that unacceptable waste is not allowed into the facility. The attendant(s) then
visually checks the vehicle as it crosses the scale. Signs informing users of the
acceptable and unacceptable types of waste are posted at the scale house or in
the vicinity of the entrance to the site. Once passing the scales, the vehicles are
routed to the appropriate tipping floor or recovery area.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6EB0F85C-4DE2-430F-92DA-42D39A47B492

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 16
Vehicles are randomly selected for screening on a regular basis, depending on
personnel availability. Site personnel will ensure that each waste stream
received at the site is equitably inspected. At least one vehicle per week, but not
less than 1% by weight of the waste stream entering the facility (based on the
previous week’s total), will be randomly selected by inspection personnel.
However, if something looks suspicious is spotted in any waste load, the load is
inspected further. Selected vehicles are directed to an area of the tipping floor
where the vehicle is unloaded. Waste is carefully spread using suitable
equipment. An attendant trained to identify wastes that are unacceptable for
processing inspects the waste discharged at the screening area. If unacceptable
waste is found, the load will be isolated, reloaded, and the generator/hauler will
be logged and escorted out of the facility.

For unacceptable wastes that are non-hazardous, the Owner will notify the DWM
(see Section 1.2.3) within 24-hours of attempted disposal of any waste the facility
is not permitted to receive to determine the proper course of action. Within 15-
days following the incident, the facility will submit written notification to DWM.
The hauler is responsible for removing unacceptable waste from the facility’s
property.

For unacceptable wastes that are hazardous, the Hazardous Waste Contingency
Plan outlined in Section 2.4.2 will be followed. To determine the liquid content of
the waste, a liquid determination will be performed by the paint filter test (see
Appendix C for apparatus and procedures). The hauler is responsible for
removing unacceptable waste from the facility’s property. If no unacceptable
waste is found, the load will be processed for recoverable items. All random
waste inspections will be documented by facility staff using the waste screening
form provided in Appendix B.

If no unacceptable waste is found, the load will be incorporated with the waste on
the tipping floor. All random waste inspections will be documented by staff using
the waste screening form provided in Appendix B.

Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan 2.4.2
In the event that identifiable hazardous waste or waste of questionable character
is detected at the facility, appropriate equipment, protective equipment,
personnel, and materials as necessary will be employed to isolate the wastes.
DWM will be notified immediately (see Section 1.2.3) that an attempt was made to
dispose of hazardous waste at the facility. If the vehicle attempting disposal of
such waste is known, all attempts will be made to prevent that vehicle from
leaving the site or, if the vehicle has left the site, immediate notice will be served
on the vehicle owner that hazardous waste, for which they have responsibility,
has been delivered to the facility.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6EB0F85C-4DE2-430F-92DA-42D39A47B492

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 17
The facility will assist DWM as necessary and appropriate in the removal and
disposition of the hazardous waste and in the prosecution of responsible parties.
If needed, the hazardous waste will be covered with tarp material until such time
when an appropriate method can be implemented to properly handle the waste.
The cost of the removal and disposing of the hazardous waste will be charged to
the owner of the vehicle involved. Any vehicle owner or operator who knowingly
delivers hazardous waste to the facility may be barred from using the facility.
Should an incident where hazardous waste is found at the facility occur, the event
will be documented by staff using the waste screening form provided in Appendix
B.

Records of information gathered as part of the waste screening programs will be
maintained at the site during its active life and as long as required by WI Burnt
Poplar Transfer, LLC and DWM.

FACILITY OPERATIONS 2.5
Operating Capacity 2.5.1
The WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC facility may maintain at any one time a
maximum onsite storage volume of recycled materials of approximately 300
cubic yards, or the volume of three (3) 45-foot trailer loads.

Waste may be stored onsite in leak-resistant transfer trailers with watertight
covers, a maximum of 24-hours except that a minimal amount of waste may be
stored for a maximum of 48 hours when the facility is closed during a weekend
and a maximum of 72 hours when closed for a weekend holiday.

Disposal Facility 2.5.2
The anticipated disposal facilities for the transfer station (subject to change)
include any facility in the State of North Carolina or the Commonwealth of
Virginia that holds a solid waste permit for the specific waste disposed. However,
waste will be generally designated for disposal at the following facilities:

• WI High Point Landfill, LLC (NC Permit Number 41-16), C&D waste;
• Hanes Mill Road Landfill (NC Permit Number 34-02), MSW and C&D
waste;
• Upper Piedmont Regional Landfill (NC Permit Number 73-04), MSW and
C&D waste;
• Randolph County Great Oak Landfill (NC Permit Number 76-07), MSW
and C&D waste;
• Sampson County Disposal, LLC (NC Permit Number 82-02), MSW and
C&D waste;
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6EB0F85C-4DE2-430F-92DA-42D39A47B492

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 18
• Uwharrie Environmental Regional Landfill (NC Permit Number 62-04),
MSW and C&D waste; and
• Chamber Development MSW Landfill (Anson County Landfill) (NC Permit
Number 04-03), MSW waste.

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC will notify DWM (see Section 1.2.3) prior to using a
landfill other than those listed above.

Access 2.5.3
Traffic will be clearly directed to the appropriate tipping floor or recovery area.
The traffic speed on the site should be less than 10 MPH. Rutting of gravel
roadway surfaces must be repaired by the placement of additional gravel on the
roadway and not solely by grading the rut. This will maintain the separator
geotextile placed below most gravel roadway surfaces.

General Procedures 2.5.4
The transfer operations will be conducted in accordance with the approved
Operation Plan and conditions of the Solid Waste Permit issued by the DWM.

Facility operations are anticipated as follows:

1. Collection vehicles delivering waste to the facility will enter through the main
entrance;
2. Collection vehicles will pass by and over the scales for weighing;
3. Collection vehicles will continue along the access road until reaching the
transfer station tipping area(s).
4. The tipping area has “push” walls running along the interior of the building
that direct the waste to an “over topping” wall, where waste will be loaded
over the wall and into the transfer trailers and/or equipment on the lower
level of the building.
5. An attendant will direct vehicles, waiting to unload, to back into the facility
through the entrance. Adequate area is available in front of the transfer area
for drivers to queue their vehicles into a backing maneuver. Operating
personnel will be on the station floor to direct and guide the vehicles.
6. The vehicles will back onto the tipping floor to an area designated by the
attendant.
7. Once the vehicle is in position, the waste load will be discharged directly onto
the tipping floor.
8. The discharged waste load will be inspected before it is mixed with other
waste on the tipping floor and loaded into the open top transfer trailers
located in the lower level of the transfer station. All MSW waste will stay in
the covered area of the transfer station.

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 19

In the event MSW and C&D waste is segregated, the transfer station floor will be
divided into two separate areas. MSW and C&D waste loads will be directed to
their respective areas and the materials will be handled and loaded into transfer
trailers separately.

Recycling and Recovery 2.5.5
As a means of capturing recyclable materials and/or waste screening, waste
processing will be conducted on the tipping floor as follows:

1. The loader or laborers will separate materials to be recycled and/or
processed from the loads before the waste is pushed into the open top
transfer trailers. It is anticipated that most of the recyclables and materials
to be separated will arrive at the transfer area as C&D waste.
2. Unprocessed C&D materials may stay on the floor of the building (not in
containers) for no more than 48 hours or two (2) working days.
3. Recyclable Materials, as defined in Table 3, will be pulled from the MSW/C&D
waste and loaded into roll-off containers.
4. Tires and white goods will be collected in roll-off containers and transported
to appropriate processing facilities.
5. Concrete (cement and asphaltic/bituminous) may be delivered and stockpiled
on site. The concrete waste will be crushed and subsequently stockpiled in
this same area until it is removed from the site for sale as fill, aggregate,
etc., as markets allow.

Special Waste Management 2.5.6
2.5.6.1 Asbestos Management
The WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC facility does not process any known or
recognized asbestos containing materials. For unacceptable waste that
is discovered, the Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan outlined in Section
2.4.2 will be followed.

MARKETS 2.6
The final destination of the recyclable materials separated from the waste may vary
depending on market prices for such materials.

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 20
RECORDKEEPING 2.7
The facility will maintain accurate records of daily waste activities. Daily records will
document the weight of waste received and the origins of the loads. Additionally, the
operator will maintain monthly records of the amount of waste transported for disposal.

On or before August 1 annually, the operator will submit a facility report to the DWM and
to each county from which waste was received. Minimally, the facility report will
document the tons of waste received on a monthly basis, the origin of the waste, the type
of waste received, the tons diverted, and the tons disposed.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
OVERVIEW 3.1
This section reviews the overall environmental management tasks required for the
successful operation of the processing and recovery facility.

SURFACE WATER RUNOFF CONTROL 3.2
Waste and recyclable materials will be unloaded within the covered areas of the transfer
station building or directly into storage containers during periods of inclement weather.
Waste will not be unloaded or stored in standing water.

The site will be maintained in a fashion to divert surface water away from the
transferring and storage areas. Proper control of surface water at the transfer or
recycling areas will accomplish the following goals:

• Prevent the run-on of surface water into waste handling area(s);
• Prevent the run-off of surface water that has come into contact with the waste
(i.e. leachate);
• Limit the erosion caused by surface waters; and
• Limit sediments carried off-site by surface waters.

LEACHATE MANAGEMENT 3.3
The leachate management system for the proposed MSW & C&D transfer station
consists of concrete tipping floor, collection trenches and leachate transmission piping,
pumps, a valve box, and valve to maintain a direct connection to the City of Greensboro
sewer system.

Leachate Collection 3.3.1
Leachate from the transfer station floor through the over topping wall and into
the lower level of the building. Leachate is collected in floor drains in the lower
level and gravity flows into the wash water grit storage tank and is pumped by a
duplex wash water pump station to the City of Greensboro sewer system.

Operation and Maintenance of Leachate Pump and Storage Tank 3.3.2
Operation and maintenance of leachate pumps and the grit storage tanks shall
be in accordance with the appropriate manufacturer’s recommendations. The
Owner or his designee will be responsible for following and documenting, as
required, these activities.

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 22

VECTOR CONTROL 3.4
The tipping floor and recovery areas will be maintained in a clean, orderly, and sanitary
condition to effectively control vectors. The transfer areas will be cleaned and swept
daily and washed down weekly, at a minimum. If vector control becomes a problem,
additional measures will be taken to ensure the protection of human health.

ODOR CONTROL 3.5
MSW Materials 3.5.1
Odorous or potentially odorous MSW materials will be loaded into trailers as
soon as possible to avoid odor problems.

C&D Materials 3.5.2
Due to the nature of the type of C&D waste materials reclaimed, transferred, and
stored at this facility, odor is not expected to be of concern.

DUST CONTROL 3.6
Dust generated by the processing activities will be limited by misting the materials, as
needed. The access roads to the tipping floor and the travel lanes from the trailer
loading areas are paved which will minimize dust generation.

PAINT FILTER LIQUIDS TEST
From EPA SW-846

4.0 SCOPE AND APPLICATION
1.1 This method is used to determine the presence of free liquids in a representative sample
of waste.

1.2 The method is used to determine compliance with 40 CFR 264.314 and 265.314.

5.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD
2.1 A predetermined amount of material is placed in a paint filter. If any portion of the
material passes through and
drops from the filter within the
5 minute test period, the
material is deemed to contain
free liquids.

6.0 INTERFERENCES
3.1 Filter media were
observed to separate from the
filter cone on exposure to
alkaline materials. This
development causes no
problem if the sample is not
disturbed.

7.0 APPARATUS AND
MATERIALS
4.1 Conical paint filter:
Mesh number 60 (fine meshed
size). Available at local paint
stores such as Sherwin-
Williams and Glidden for an
approximate cost of $0.07
each.

4.2 Glass funnel: If the
paint filter, with the waste, cannot sustain its weight on the ring stand, then a fluted glass
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6EB0F85C-4DE2-430F-92DA-42D39A47B492

funnel or glass funnel with a mouth large enough to allow at least 1 inch of the filter mesh to
protrude should be used to support the filter. The funnel is to be fluted or have a large open
mouth in order to support the paint filter yet not interfere with the movement, to the graduated
cylinder, of the liquid that passes through the filter mesh.

4.3 Ring stand and ring or tripod.

4.4 Graduated cylinder or beaker: 100-mL.

8.0 REAGENTS
5.1 None.

9.0 SAMPLE COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, AND HANDLING
6.1 All samples must be collected according to the directions in Chapter Nine of EPA SW-
846.

6.2 A 100 mL or 100 g representative sample is required for the test. If it is not possible to
obtain a sample of 100 mL or 100 g that is sufficiently representative of the waste, the analyst
may use larger size samples in multiples of 100 mL or 100 g, i.e., 200, 300, 400 mL or g.
However, when larger samples are used, analysts shall divide the sample into 100-mL or 100-g
portions and test each portion
separately. If any portion contains free
liquids, the entire sample is considered
to have free liquids.

10.0 PROCEDURE
7.1 Assemble test apparatus as
shown in Figure 1.

7.2 Place sample in the filter. A
funnel may be used to provide support
for the paint filter.

7.3 Allow sample to drain for 5
minutes into the graduated cylinder.

7.4 If any portion of the test material
collects in the graduated cylinder in the
5-min. period, then the material is
deemed to contain free liquids for
purposes of 40 CFR 264.314 and 265.314.

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 7
Security 1.4.2
The WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC facility is secured by fencing, locked gates,
and natural buffers. Frequent inspections of the gates and fences will be
performed by the facility personnel. Evidence of trespassing, vandalism, or
illegal operation will be reported to the Owner in order to coordinate the repair
or replacement of the damaged property and to ensure the integrity of the
facility’s security.

SIGNAGE 1.5
A prominent sign(s) containing information required by the DWM will be placed at the
main facility entrance. This sign(s) will provide information on the operating hours,
operating procedures, and acceptable wastes. Additional signage will be provided as
necessary within the facility to distinctly distinguish identify the roadway to the transfer
station tipping floor and trailer loading area. Service and maintenance roads for use by
operations personnel will be clearly marked and barriers (e.g., traffic cones, barrels,
etc.) will be provided as required.

COMMUNICATIONS 1.6
The scale house/office has telephones in case of emergency and for theto conduct of
day-to-day business. Emergency telephone numbers are displayed in the scale house
office.

FIRE CONTROL 1.7
Although no open burning of waste is allowed at the facility, the possibility of fire within
the processing and storage areas, or with a piece of equipment must be anticipated in
the daily operation of the facility. The operator will provide fire suppression equipment
to control accidental fires and arrangements will be made with the local fire protection
agency. The transfer station facility will be equipped with hose bibs or portable fire
extinguishers located on each wall of the facility. A combination of factory installed fire
suppression systems and/or portable fire extinguishers will be operational on all heavy
pieces of equipment at all times. For larger and more serious outbreaks, the local fire
department will respond.
Fire Tetrahedron1 1.7.1

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6EB0F85C-4DE2-430F-92DA-42D39A47B492

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan

To better understand the properties of fire we can examine the fundamental
methods to extinguish it. The fire “tetrahedron” illustrates the rule that in order
to ignite and burn, each component represents a property of flaming fire; fuel,
oxygen, heat, and chemical chain reaction. A fire is prevented or extinguished by
Aremoving@removing any one of them. A fire naturally occurs when the
elements are combined in the right mixture (e.g., more heat needed for igniting
some fuels, unless there is concentrated oxygen). The fire tetrahedron is a more
modern adaptation of the traditional fire “triangle” recognizing the chemical
reactions that may occur as a component – “the uninhibited chain reaction”. This
chain reaction is the feedback of heat to the fuel to produce the gaseous fuel
used in the flame. In other words, the chain reaction provides the heat necessary
to maintain the fire. These principles are integral in the prevention and
management of potential fire situations. Please note this information is
considered as a basis of understanding and may be superseded by the direction
and skill of the local Fire Marshall.

Equipment 1.7.2
A combination of factory installed fire suppression systems and/or portable fire
extinguishers will be operational on all pieces of heavy equipment at all times.
Potential fire hazards are created from the build-up of fine, dry dust particles on
and around operational motors and control panels. The presence of these build-
ups can cause overheating and potential fire if periodic equipment cleaning and
maintenance are not practiced. Portable fire extinguishers should be maintained
in a state of readiness on each piece of moving equipment and equipment should
be cleaned periodically.

General Fire Management Strategies 1.7.3
Each fire situation is site specific; however, general strategies for active fire
management include the following (in no particular order):

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6EB0F85C-4DE2-430F-92DA-42D39A47B492

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 9

• Accelerated high temperature combustion (displacing fuel);
• Covering of the burn area with foams (reduce oxygen);
• Flooding the burn area with water (reduce heat);
• Injecting an inert gas such as CO2 (reduce oxygen); and
• Applying extinguishing agents that will interfere with and inhibit the
combustion process at the molecular level (breaking the chemical
reaction).

Notification 1.7.4
The Owner will verbally notify the DWM (see Section 1.2.3) within 24 hours of
discovery of a fire. In addition, written documentation describing the fire, the
actions carried out to extinguish the fire, and a strategy for preventing future
occurrences will be provided to the DWM within 15 days following any such
occurrence on the Fire Occurrence Notification Form included in Appendix A.

Coordination With Local Fire Department 1.7.5
A copy of this Operations Manual will be filed with the local fire department
including all contact information for the facility.

LITTER CONTROL 1.8
The vegetative trees/bushes act as a barrier to keep litter contained within the site
boundaries. Staff and operators pick up litter in and around the site on a daily basis and
respond to weather and heavy wind conditions that may compromise the appearance of
the property. A litter control fence is placed around the operations area to help prevent
blowing waste from leaving the operations area. The litter control crew picks up litter
outside the site and on access roads each weekday.

Customers are encouraged to contain and cover all waste within their vehicles/trailers
prior to entering the facility in an effort to reduce litter. Any load that is not secured in a
manner that would prevent material from leaving the vehicle while it is in motion is
subject to an additional fee. Trailers are encouraged to be covered by heavy tarp lids to
minimize litter and reduce the potential for the entrance of vectors into the disposal
operations.

SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS 1.9
Unusual weather conditions can directly affect the operations of the facility. Some of
these weather conditions and recommended operational responses are as follows.

Ice Storms 1.9.1
An ice storm can make access to the facility dangerous, prevent movement and
thus, may require closure of the facility until the ice is removed or has melted.
The determination to discontinue activities due to inclement weather conditions
will be made by the Transfer Station Manager.
Heavy Rains 1.9.2
Exposed soil surfaces can create a muddy situation in some portions of the
facility during rainy periods. The control of drainage and use of crushed stone on
unpaved roads should provide all-weather access for the site and promote
drainage away from critical areas. In areas where the aggregate surface is
washed away or otherwise damaged, new aggregate should be used for repair.

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016) Page 12
Electrical Storms 1.9.3
The open areas of the facility are susceptible to the hazards of an electrical
storm. If necessary, activities will be temporary suspended during such an
event. Refuge will be taken in the on-site building or in rubber tired vehicles.
Windy Conditions 1.9.4
Facility operations during a particular windy period may require that the active
tipping area be temporarily shifted will be adjusted as necessary to account for
the windy conditions.

Violent Storms 1.9.5
In the event of hurricane, tornado, or severe winter storm warning issued by the
National Weather Service, facility operations may be temporarily suspended until
the warning is lifted. Buildings and equipment will be properly secured. A radio
capable of tuning to NOAA Weather Radio-Providence will be periodically
monitored by site personnel.

HEALTH AND SAFETY 1.10
All aspects of the facility operations were developed with the health and safety of the
operating staff, customers, and neighbors in mind. Prior to commencement of
operations at the facility, a member of the operating staff will be designated the site’s
safety officer. This individual, together with the facility’s management will modify the
site’s safety and emergency response program to ensure consistency with the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidance.

Safety equipment provided includes equipment rollover protection cabs, seat belts,
audible reverse warning devices, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)hard hats, safety
shoes, and first aid kits. Facility personnel will be encouraged to complete the American
Red Cross Basic First Aid Course. Other safety requirements as designated by the
Owner will also be implemented.

Facility employees will be routinely trained in health and safety by supervisory staff. All
training will be documented. The following are some general recommendations for the
health and safety of workers at the WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC facility.

Personal Hygiene 1.10.1
The following items are recommended as a minimum of practice:
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6EB0F85C-4DE2-430F-92DA-42D39A47B492

• Wash hands before eating drinking, or smoking.
• Wear personal protective equipment as described in Section 1.10.2.
• Wash, disinfect, and bandage ANY cut, no matter how small it is. Any
breaks in the skin can become a source of infection.
• Keep fingernails closely trimmed and clean (dirty nails can harbor
pathogens).

Personal Protection Equipment 1.10.2
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) PPE must be evaluated as to the level of
protection necessary for particular operating conditions and then made available
to facility employees. The list below includes the PPE typically used and/or
required in a solid waste management facility workplace.

• Safety shoes with steel toes.
• Noise reduction protection should be used in areas where extended
exposure to continuous high decibels levels is expected.
• Disposable rubber latex or chemical resistant gloves for handling and/or
sampling of waste materials.
• Dust filter masks.
• Hard hats (in designated areas).
• Portable eyewash.
• Safety goggles.
• Safety vests.

Following use, PPE’s should be disposed of or adequately cleaned, dried, or
readied for reuse.

Mechanical Equipment Hazard Prevention 1.10.3
All equipment should be operated with care and caution. All safety equipment
such as horns, backup alarms, and lights should be functional. A Lockout-
Tagout program will be used to identify equipment in need or under repair and
insure that operation is “off-limits” prior to maintenance or repair. All operators
will be trained in the proper operation of equipment.

Employee Health and Safety 1.10.4
Some general safety rules are:

• Consider safety first when planning and conducting activities.
• Review the equipment O&M manual(s) prior to attempting
repairs/changes.

WASTE SCREENING PROGRAMS 2.4
To assure prohibited wastes are not entering the facility, screening programs have been
implemented. Waste received at the scale house entrance and waste taken to the
tipping area or the storage container area is inspected by trained personnel. These
individuals have been trained to spot indications of suspicious wastes, including:
hazardous placarding or markings, liquids, powders or dusts, sludges, bright or unusual
colors, drums or commercial size containers, and "chemical" odors. Screening
programs for visual and olfactory characteristics of prohibited wastes are an ongoing
part of the facility operation.

Waste Receiving and Inspection 2.4.1
All vehicles must stop at the scale house located near the entrance of the facility
and visitors are required to sign-in. All waste transportation vehicles are
weighed and the content of the load assessed. The scale attendant(s) requests
from the driver of the vehicle a description of the waste it is carrying to ensure
that unacceptable waste is not allowed into the facility. The attendant(s) then
visually checks the vehicle as it crosses the scale. Signs informing users of the
acceptable and unacceptable types of waste are posted at the scale house or in
the vicinity of the entrance to the site. Once passing the scales, the vehicles are
routed to the appropriate tipping floor or recovery area.

Vehicles are randomly selected for screening on a regular basis, depending on
personnel availability. Site personnel will ensure that each waste stream
received at the site is equitably inspected. At least one vehicle per week, but not
less than 1% by weight of the waste stream entering the facility (based on the
previous week’s total), will be randomly selected by inspection personnel.
However, if something looks suspicious is spotted in any waste load, the load is
inspected further. Selected vehicles are directed to an area of the tipping floor
where the vehicle is unloaded. Waste is carefully spread using suitable
equipment. An attendant trained to identify wastes that are unacceptable for
processing inspects the waste discharged at the screening area. If unacceptable
waste is found, the load will be isolated, reloaded, and the generator/hauler will
be logged and escorted out of the facility.

For unacceptable wastes that are non-hazardous, the Owner will notify the DWM
(see Section 1.2.3) within 24-hours of attempted disposal of any waste the facility
is not permitted to receive to determine the proper course of action. Within 15-
days following the incident, the facility will submit written notification to DWM.
The hauler is responsible for removing unacceptable waste from the facility’s
property.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6EB0F85C-4DE2-430F-92DA-42D39A47B492

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
December 2013 (Revised March 2014) Page 23
For unacceptable wastes that are hazardous, the Hazardous Waste Contingency
Plan outlined in Section 2.4.2 will be followed. To determine the liquid content of
the waste, a liquid determination will be performed by the paint filter test (see
Appendix C for apparatus and procedures). The hauler is responsible for
removing unacceptable waste from the facility’s property. If no unacceptable
waste is found, the load will be processed for recoverable items. All random
waste inspections will be documented by facility staff using the waste screening
form provided in Appendix B.

If no unacceptable waste is found, the load will be incorporated with the waste on
the tipping floor. All random waste inspections will be documented by staff using
the waste screening form provided in Appendix B.

Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan 2.4.2
In the event that identifiable hazardous waste or waste of questionable character
is detected at the facility, appropriate equipment, protective equipment,
personnel, and materials as necessary will be employed to isolate the wastes.
DWM will be notified immediately (see Section 1.2.3) that an attempt was made to
dispose of hazardous waste at the facility. If the vehicle attempting disposal of
such waste is known, all attempts will be made to prevent that vehicle from
leaving the site or, if the vehicle has left the site, immediate notice will be served
on the vehicle owner that hazardous waste, for which they have responsibility,
has been delivered to the facility.

The facility will assist DWM as necessary and appropriate in the removal and
disposition of the hazardous waste and in the prosecution of responsible parties.
If needed, the hazardous waste will be covered with tarp material until such time
when an appropriate method can be implemented to properly handle the waste.
The cost of the removal and disposing of the hazardous waste will be charged to
the owner of the vehicle involved. Any vehicle owner or operator who knowingly
delivers hazardous waste to the facility may be barred from using the facility.
Should an incident where hazardous waste is found at the facility occur, the event
will be documented by staff using the waste screening form provided in Appendix
B.

Records of information gathered as part of the waste screening programs will be
maintained at the site during its active life and as long as required by WI Burnt
Poplar Transfer, LLC and DWM.

3. Collection vehicles will Ccontinue along the access road until reaching the
transfer station tipping area(s).
4. The tipping area has “push” walls running along the interior of the building
that direct the waste to feed “hoppers”overlyingan “over topping” wall, where
waste will be loaded over the wall and into the transfer trailers and/or
equipment on the lower level of the building.
4.5. The building is divided into two separate tipping areas, one for MSW and one
for C&D. AnThe attendant will direct vehicles, waiting to unload, to back into
the facility through the entrance. Adequate area is available in front of the
transfer area for drivers to queue their vehicles into a backing maneuver.
Station oOperating personnel will be on the station floor to direct and guide
the vehicles.
5.6. The vehicles will back onto the tipping floor to an area designated by the
attendant. MSW vehicles will be directed to one side of the floor, whereas
C&D vehicles will be directed to the opposite portion of the building.
6.7. Once the vehicle is in position, the waste load will be discharged directly onto
the tipping floor.
8. A spotter wilThe discharged waste load will be il inspected the discharged
waste before it is mixed with other waste on the tipping floor and loaded
pushed by a rubber-tired loader into the open top transfer trailers,
specifically designed for hauling MSW or C&D wastes, respectively, located
in the lower level of the transfer station. All MSW waste will stay in the
covered area of the transfer station.
7.
In the event MSW and C&D waste is segregated, the transfer station floor
will be divided into two separate areas. MSW and C&D waste loads will be
directed to their respective areas and the materials will be handled and loaded
into transfer trailers separately.

Recycling and Recovery 2.5.5
As a means of capturing recyclable materials and/or waste screening, waste
processing will be conducted on the tipping floor as follows:

1. The loader or laborers will separate materials to be recycled and/or
processed from the loads before the waste is pushed into the open top
transfer trailers. It is anticipated that most of the recyclables and materials
to be separated will arrive at the transfer area as C&D waste.
2. Unprocessed C&D materials may stay on the floor of the building (not in
containers) for no more than 48 hours or two (2) working days.
3. Recyclable Materials, as defined in Table 3, will be pulled from the MSW/C&D
waste and loaded into roll-off containers.
4. Tires and white goods will be collected in roll-off containers and transported
to appropriate processing facilities.

Special Waste Management 2.5.6
2.5.6.1 Asbestos Management
The WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC facility does not process any known or
recognized asbestos containing materials. For unacceptable waste that
is discovered, the Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan outlined in Section
2.4.2 will be followed.

MARKETS 2.6
The final destination of the recyclable materials separated from the waste may vary
depending on market prices for such materials.

RECORDKEEPING 2.7
The facility will maintain accurate records of daily waste and recovered material
activities. Daily records will document the weight of waste received and recovered and
the origins of the loads. Additionally, the operator will maintain monthly records of the
amount of recovered materials sold and the amount of waste transported for disposal.
Documentation of end-users/processors/recyclers of the recovered materials will be
maintained on-site.

On or before August 1 annually, the operator will submit a facility report to the DWM and
to each county from which waste was received. Minimally, the facility report will
document the tons of waste received on a monthly basis, the origin of the waste, the type
of waste received, the tons diverted, and the tons disposed.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
OVERVIEW 3.1
This section reviews the overall environmental management tasks required for the
successful operation of the processing and recovery facility.

SURFACE WATER RUNOFF CONTROL 3.2
Waste and recyclable materials will be unloaded within the covered areas of the transfer
station building or directly into storage containers during periods of inclement weather.
Waste will not be unloaded or stored in standing water.

The site will be maintained in a fashion to divert surface water away from the
transferring and storage areas. Proper control of surface water at the transfer or
recycling areas will accomplish the following goals:

• Prevent the run-on of surface water into waste handling area(s);
• Prevent the run-off of surface water that has come into contact with the waste
(i.e. leachate);
• Limit the erosion caused by surface waters; and
• Limit sediments carried off-site by surface waters.

LEACHATE MANAGEMENT 3.3
The leachate management system for the proposed MSW & C&D transfer station
consists of concrete tipping floor, collection trenches and leachate transmission piping,
pumps, a valve box, and value valve to maintain a direct connection to the City of
Greensboro sewer system.

Leachate Collection 3.3.1
Leachate from the transfer station floor each transfer area unit is through the
over topping wall and into the lower level of the building. collected in perimeter
floor drains that drain to low end(s) of each area. Leachate is collected in floor
drains in the lower level and gravity flows into collected drains by gravity flow to
the wash water grit storage tank and is pumped by a prefabricated duplex
simplex wash water pump station to the City of Greensboro sewer system.

Operation and Maintenance of Leachate Pump and Storage Tank 3.3.2
Operation and maintenance of leachate pumps and the grit storage tanks shall
be in accordance with the appropriate manufacturer’s recommendations. The

WI Burnt Poplar Transfer, LLC Operations Plan
April 2014 (Revised November 2016)December 2013 Page 31
Owner or his designee will be responsible for following and documenting, as
required, these activities.
VECTOR CONTROL 3.4
The tipping floor and recovery areas will be maintained in a clean, orderly, and sanitary
condition to effectively control vectors. The transfer areas will be cleaned and swept
daily and washed down weekly, at a minimum. If vector control becomes a problem,
additional measures will be taken to ensure the protection of human health.

ODOR CONTROL 3.5
MSW Materials 3.5.1
Odorous or potentially odorous MSW materials will be loaded into trailers as
soon as possible to avoid odor problems.

C&D Materials 3.5.2
Due to the nature of the type of C&D waste materials reclaimed, transferred, and
stored at this facility, odor is not expected to be of concern.

DUST CONTROL 3.6
Dust generated by the processing activities will be limited by misting the materials, as
needed. The access roads to the tipping floor and the travel lanes from the trailer
loading areas are paved which will minimize dust generation. A street sweeper will be
used on paved areas to control dust, as needed.

wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the receiving wastewater treatment facility and that the
flow from this project is not anticipated to cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump

procedures using the best available data. This certification applies to those items listed above in Sections I and II for which I am the
responsible party. Signature of this form indicates acceptance of this wastewater flow.
