CONDITIONS OF PERMIT FOR CLOSURE
PART I: GENERAL FACILITY
1. Closure or partial closure of any landfill unit must be in accordance with the closure plans
described in the approved plans. Proposed changes to the approved closure plans must be
submitted to the Section at least 90 days prior to implementation.
2. Closure construction quality assurance reports must be submitted to the Section at least
annually and maintained in the operating record of the facility.
3. Final closure of the landfill and initiation of the 30-year post-closure period commences upon
the engineer’s certification that the closure of the fill is complete.
4. Post-closure use of the property must not disturb the integrity of the cap system, base liner
system, or any other components of the containment system or the function of the monitoring
systems. The Section may approve disturbance if the constructor or operator demonstrates
that disturbance of the cap system, base liner system, or other component of the containment
system will not increase the potential threat to public health, safety, and welfare; the
environment; and natural resources.

General Requirements
5. The owner must provide post-closure care and monitoring for the landfill. The post-closure
period begins for; Area 1 January 2001, Areas 2 and 3 January 2009. After at least five
years of post-closure care and monitoring, the landfill owner may submit a written request to
modify or discontinue post-closure care and monitoring, depending upon the results of the
previous monitoring. However, the owner must continue to conduct water quality
monitoring, and post-closure care until the Section provides written approval to discontinue
monitoring and/or post-closure care.
6. The industrial landfill stopped receiving waste on June 30, 2008.
7. The landfill owner must maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the cap system, including
making repairs to the cover as necessary to correct the effects of settlement, subsidence,
erosion, or other events, and prevent surface water from impounding over waste and run-on
and run-off from eroding or otherwise damaging the cap system. Mowing of vegetation on

the landfill cover is required at least once per year. Trees on the final cover must be removed
at least once per year.
8. The owner must maintain permanent markers that accurately identify the edge of the waste
disposal boundary.
9. Public access to the landfill must be prevented by gates, fences, and/or other measures. The
owner must maintain the public access preventive measures during the post-closure period.
10. Any post-closure use of the property, including but not limited to, residential, commercial,
industrial, agricultural, or recreational use, is subject to review and approval by the Section
and must not disturb the integrity of the cap system, or the function of the monitoring
systems. The Section may approve any other disturbance if the owner or operator submits a
modified post-closure plan which describes the planned use of the property and demonstrates
that disturbance of the cap system, including any removal of waste, will not increase the
potential threat to human health or the environment. Post-closure uses approved by the
Section will be included in the List of Approved Documents.
11. All sedimentation and erosion control activities must be conducted in accordance with the
Sedimentation Control Act N.C.G.S. 113A-50, et seq., and rules promulgated under 15A
