City of Greensboro | Engineering Plan Introduction 1.0 Introduction The City of Greensboro, North Carolina, (Greensboro) is proposing to renew the permit to operate for the White Street Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill (C&DLF) in Guilford County, North Carolina. The information contained in this submittal is intended to fulfill the requirements of North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0535(b) for the amendment of the operating permit. 1.1 Background Information In November of 1995, HDR, on behalf of the City of Greensboro, submitted a Transition Plan for the Phase II sanitary landfill of the White Street Landfill. The Transition Plan was approved in July of 1996 and Olver certified closure of the sanitary landfill in March of 1999. After North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) approval of the Transition Plan, the City of Greensboro submitted a permit application to dispose of Construction and Demolition debris over top of the closed municipal solid waste (MSW) in Phase II. NCDEQ issued the original C&D over MSW permit for Phase II in July of 1998. The following is a history of the permits received by White Street which can be found in Appendix A. Permit Type Date Issued Permit to Operate (PTO) – Stage I January 7, 1998 PTO Modification – Stage II October 7, 1998 PTO Modification – Stage III April 15, 2000 PTO Amendment – Continued Operation May 25, 2006 PTO Amendment – Continued Operation March 30, 2012 1.2 Responsible Party The individual responsible for the operation and maintenance of the site is the Solid Waste Disposal Manager for the City of Greensboro: Solid Waste Disposal Manager (336) 412-3959 2503 White Street Greensboro, NC 27405 1 City of Greensboro | Engineering Plan Engineering and Design 2 1.3 Projected Use After Closure After closure of the landfill, the site will be maintained and monitored. No post-closure uses have been identified or are planned for the site at this time. 2.0 Engineering and Design 2.1 Existing Features A overall Site Plan with the existing features of the site can be found on Drawing CD-77B. This drawing displays features of the facility such as Closed Phase I, Closed MSW Phase II, Active C&D Landfill, Active MSW Phase III, borrow/stockpile areas and maintenance facilities. 2.2 Facility Design This site maintains the following regulatory buffers (per Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0503 (2)(f): • A 50-foot buffer between property line and waste. • A 500-foot buffer from private dwellings and wells to waste. • A 50-foot buffer from streams and rivers to waste. 2.3 Final Grading Plan The proposed top of intermediate cover grades for the remaining portion of Phases II can be found on Drawing C-02. The proposed grades are 4 horizontal to 1 vertical (4H:1V) and reach a elevation of 870 feet above mean sea level. The final cap thickness is an additional 2 feet on top of the intermediate grades. 2.4 Airspace Calculations The total gross capacity of the C&D landfill on top of the closed MSW landfill is 2,370,000 cubic yards at 4H:1V sideslopes. Through June 2016, approximately 1,722,981 tons of waste have been disposed of at the C&DLF consuming 1,450,536 cubic yards. This equates to a waste density of 1.19 tons per cubic yard. Over the past 5 years the average annual waste accepted is 37,531 tons. Based on the cumulative waste density and five year average annual tonnage the remaining capacity would be full in October 2042. Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 for updated tonnage history and life projection estimates. 2.5 Groundwater Monitoring A Groundwater Monitoring Plan was originally prepared by S&ME, Inc. (dated December 2007). The Monitoring Plan which can be found in Appendix D.

maintenance of the White Street Landfill Construction and Demolition Debris disposal facility. This plan has been prepared in accordance with North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) rules. A detailed drawing of the landfill’s development from existing conditions to final contours is presented in Appendix G. By definition, the construction and demolition debris waste stream is originated solely from construction, demolition, and remodeling or repair operations on pavement, buildings or other structures. In addition, the NCDEQ Division of Waste Management (DWM) has approved other inert wastes (such as land clearing debris, but not yard waste) if they can be demonstrated to be inert through the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure. The current waste screening program will continue to be utilized by the landfill staff for determination of accurate disposal areas and the prevention of prohibited wastes as described in Rule .542 (e). The City of Greensboro proposes to continue operation of the current construction and demolition disposal site as previously approved and permitted May 25, 2006 (Permit #41-03). The proposed disposal area continues to operate within the area of the facility known as Phase II which is a closed MSWLF unit subject to the appropriate section of the .1600 rules (Drawing CD-77B). Regulatory closure of Phase II has been previously certified as closed in accordance with promulgated guidelines. 2.0 Personnel Structure Responsibility for overall facility management and operation rests with the Solid Waste Disposal Manager. Solid Waste Disposal Manager (336) 412-3959 2503 White Street Greensboro, NC 27405 This individual is designated as the contact person for regulatory compliance, and is responsible for ensuring adequate personnel and equipment in order to operate the facility in compliance with approved permit documents and the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules. Landfill supervisory staff includes the Solid Waste Disposal Manager, the Landfill Supervisor, the Environmental Compliance Supervisor, the Yard Waste and Compost Supervisor, and the Scalehouse Supervisor. In addition to the supervisory staff, the landfill now operates with full time heavy equipment operators, full time heavy equipment mechanics, full time maintenance workers, full time heavy equipment operators at the yard waste and compost site, landfill technicians, and full time scale operators. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Personnel Certifications and Training 2 3.0 Personnel Certifications and Training The Solid Waste Disposal Manager maintains certifications as a Manager of Landfill Operations (MOLO), issued by the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA). The Landfill Supervisor maintains certification as a MOLO. In compliance with North Carolina GS 130-309.25, all heavy equipment operators and the landfill technician maintain certification as Landfill Operation Specialists as issued by the North Carolina Chapter of SWANA (NCSWANA). These staff members are then continuously recertified through on-site training as well as through industry and NCSWANA events. All training records are available at the scalehouse. Personnel trained in landfill operations are on duty at all times while the facility is open for public use and at all times during active waste management operations. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Hours of Operation 3 4.0 Hours of Operation The landfill is open for operation between the hours of 7:00AM and 4:50 PM, Monday through Friday and from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday. The landfill is closed on Sundays except where prior permission has been granted to receive wastes for special instances such as a natural disaster. The observed holidays are New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The sign giving the hours of operation for the landfill is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Hours of Operation Figure 2 Landfill Rules City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Equipment Requirements 4 5.0 Equipment Requirements The landfill will utilize two compactors and 2 bulldozers. The landfill will utilize a bulldozer for soil placement in the routine covering of the waste. Also available for operational and compliance activities are a motorgrader and water truck. A full inventory list of current equipment and landfill personnel is presented in Table 1. Equipment is subject to change based on operational needs. Table 1 Equipment and Personnel Equipment Quantity Bulldozers 4 Landfill Compactor 2 Motorgrader 1 Track Excavator 1 Articulated Dump Trucks 2 Position Manager 1 Landfill Supervisor 1 Environmental Supervisor 1 Scalehouse Supervisor 1 Heavy Equipment Operators (full time) 5 Heavy Equipment Operators (part time) 2 Heavy Equipment Mechanics 2 Maintenance Workers 2 Landfill Technician 1 Scale Operators 2 6.0 Inclement Weather Operations During periods of heavy rainfall or other adverse weather conditions, the working face of the waste disposal area will be kept as close as possible to the landfill service roads while allowing for safe and orderly dumping from the haulers. The waste will be covered in compliance with applicable regulations. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Traffic Routing 5 7.0 Traffic Routing An entrance sign is posted on the front gate stating operating hours as well as emergency contact information (Figure 1). An additional sign is also posted immediately inside the front gate stating facility name, permit number, operating hours (Figure 2), landfill rules and a list of banned disposal items. Signs are posted at regular intervals along the landfill access roads indicating speed limit and directions to the applicable disposal area (Figure 3). Figure 3 Traffic Routing All trucks entering the landfill are required to weigh in at one of two scales at the scalehouse. The scales are operated by North Carolina Department of Agriculture Certified Weigh masters. The scales are calibrated and cleaned on a regular basis. Automobiles and pickup trucks are also required to weigh in. The roads that allow access to the site and to monitoring locations are of all weather construction and maintained in good condition. 8.0 Litter Control Litter control is a prime requisite in the proper operation of the landfill. In order to effectively control litter and windblown debris, the working face is kept as small as possible and waste is compacted as soon as possible after unloading. Cover material is applied at least once weekly and when the working face exceeds one-half acre. Cover is available daily and will be placed at more frequent intervals if necessary to control blowing litter. Temporary litter fences will be installed downwind of and in close proximity to the working face to prevent windblown debris. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Odor, Noise, and Dust Control 6 The disposal area as well as the landfill property and the streets feeding into the landfill are inspected and any fugitive debris is removed on a daily basis. 9.0 Odor, Noise, and Dust Control Odors which emanate from the management of construction and demolition debris wastes are generally limited to within a short distance of the working face. The covering of the wastes as required prevents odors from becoming a nuisance. The access road from the scalehouse to the waste disposal unit is paved. All other service and operating roads on the operating landfill unit are graded and maintained with stone as necessary to maintain smooth, well-drained surfaces. During dry conditions, operating roads will be sprayed with water to control dust issues. The paved access roads are washed periodically to maintain an overall neat appearance of the landfill. Noise resulting from landfill equipment is limited to the period of time during operating hours. To further reduce the possibility of noise nuisance, a vegetative buffer of coniferous and deciduous trees and other vegetation is maintained between the operating areas and other areas not designated for landfill operations. All landfill equipment is equipped with mufflers or similar noise-dampening devices. The on-site landfill maintenance facility maintains all landfill equipment in top operating condition further eliminating potential noise nuisances from equipment operations. 10.0 Waste Placement Waste will only be disposed of inside the area labeled limits of C&D waste as shown on Drawing CD-77B. Drawing CD-77B also indicates the buffers as maintained. The existing contours of the current waste placement operation as well as closed MSW areas are identified on Drawing C- 01. Waste is to be placed vertically over existing construction and debris material and closed MSW areas. The removal of solid waste from the C&D landfill is prohibited. Solid waste unloading at the landfill is controlled to prevent disposal in locations other than those permitted. Such control is also used to confine the working face to a minimum width, facilitating a safe and efficient operation. The waste shall be managed in the smallest area (working face) feasible. Upon dumping, the waste will be spread and compacted as densely as practical into cells utilizing a bulldozer or a compactor. The fill sequence using multiple lifts allows filling to occur uniformly across the site. This provides for elimination of depression areas and facilitates proper storm water movement and management. Waste disposal activities will progress in approximately 10 foot lifts across the landfill footprint as shown on (Drawing C-01). City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Asbestos 7 11.0 Asbestos The White Street Landfill does not accept asbestos. Asbestos is listed as a banned material on the signage in Figure 2 and staff is trained to detect and prevent disposal through the waste screening program. 12.0 Cover Requirements A significant volume of soil is required to provide adequate cover and allow for safe and efficient waste disposal operations. In order to provide for these requirements, the landfill maintains a large permitted borrow area (Drawing CD-77B). The landfill also maintains a stockpile for soil that is brought to the landfill from outside sources (Drawing CD-77B). These outside soil sources must be approved by staff prior to being brought to the landfill. 12.1 Weekly Cover In compliance with the latest rules as promulgated regarding management of construction and demolition debris waste, the waste will be covered with six inches of earthen material at least once per week or when the working face exceeds one-half acre. The landfill will also have available daily cover material if needed to apply in times of adverse weather conditions. At this time, the landfill will be utilizing earthen material from the above described soil sources to cover the waste. This material has been demonstrated to control odors, vectors, blowing litter, and fires. 12.2 Intermediate Cover Intermediate cover consisting of a total of 12 inches of earthen material is applied to all areas which will not have any waste placement occurring for a period of 12 months or more. Areas which have received intermediate cover are graded to facilitate proper drainage and to prevent any ponding of water. Once proper grading and drainage has been achieved, temporary vegetative grass cover will be planted. Any erosion or damage to the intermediate cover is repaired on a routine basis. 13.0 Vector Control The City will prevent or control on-site populations of disease vectors using techniques appropriate for the protection of human health and the environment. For purposes of this item, "disease vectors" means any rodents, flies, mosquitoes, or other animals or insects, capable of transmitting disease to humans. Vectors are generally attracted by opportunities for food and shelter. C&D waste is not a food source for many vectors. Vectors seeking shelter in the waste mass can be discouraged by covering of the waste and proper grading to prevent ponding of water. If vectors become a problem, a licensed exterminator or other legal means of control shall be implemented. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Explosive Gases Control 8 14.0 Explosive Gases Control With the construction and demolition disposal operations occurring on top of a closed MSW facility, the landfill monitors for migration of explosive gases. A gas monitoring system has been constructed along the east side of the landfill which abuts Rankin Mill Road. All buildings and enclosed structures on the landfill are monitored as part of the routine methane monitoring program (Drawing CD-79B). Routine monitoring for gas migration is performed in accordance with Rule .1626 part (4)(b) on a quarterly basis to ensure that the following compliance levels for methane concentration are not exceeded: 1) the concentration of methane gas generated by the facility does not exceed 25% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane gas in facility structures (1.25% methane; 2) the concentration of methane gas migrating from the landfill does not exceed the LEL for methane at the facility property boundary (5% methane). Routine monitoring for gas migration will be performed on a quarterly basis to ensure that the following compliance levels for methane concentration are not exceeded.  The concentration of methane gas generated by the facility does not exceed 25 percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane in facility structures (1.25 percent methane).  The concentration of methane gas migrating from the Landfill does not exceed the LEL for methane at the facility property boundary (5 percent methane). The monitoring device that will be used will be a combustible gas indicator (CGI). If concentrations are measured at greater than 25 percent of the LEL for methane in facility structures, then the landfill must immediately take all necessary steps to ensure protection of human health and shall notify the NCDEQ-DWM. Within seven days of detection, the methane gas levels detected and a description of the steps taken to protect human health shall be placed in the operating record. Within 60 days of detection, a remediation plan describing the nature and extent of the problem and the proposed remedy for methane gas releases shall be placed in the operating record, the remediation plan shall be implemented, and the NCDEQ-DWM shall be notified. Additional gas probes may be installed as required. They will be installed in a similar manner as the existing gas probes. 14.1 Perimeter Explosive Gas Monitoring Well Placement According to Rule .1624 (4), soil, hydrogeologic and hydraulic conditions, and proximity of structures and property boundaries should be considered when locating gas monitoring wells and determining monitoring frequency. Landfill structures consist of the Administration Building, Compliance and Compost Operations Office, Maintenance Shop, Phase II LFG blower building, equipment and maintenance shed at the compost site, and the Operations Building. The landfill also operates a landfill gas collection system on Phase II. The Phase II system is comprised of vertical extraction wells, a main header pipe, condensate traps, a flare, and a blower station. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Explosive Gases Control 9 The Phase II area of the landfill is bounded on the north and west sides by North Buffalo Creek, on the east by Rankin Mill Road, and on the south by landfill property. North Buffalo Creek will act as a natural barrier between the landfill and adjoining properties on the north side of the creek. Four locations labeled Surface Monitoring Points have been identified on the southern bank of North Buffalo Creek and are monitored as part of the quarterly landfill gas monitoring program. It will be necessary to monitor gas migration along the landfill property line at Rankin Mill Road, and the church property on Rankin Mill Road. As shown on Drawing CD-79B six wells are located along Rankin Mill Road and two wells are located near the church property. Permanently mounted gas monitors have been placed in the Administration Building, Compliance and Compost Operations Office, Maintenance Shop, Phase II LFG blower building, and the Operations Building. These structures are also monitored during the quarterly monitoring event. 14.2 Well Construction All of the methane monitoring wells were constructed of 2-inch PVC pipe placed in a 6-inch diameter bore hole. The screened interval ranged from 5-10 feet, terminating just above the seasonally high water table or at auger refusal. A sand filter pack was placed around the screen and extends 2 feet above the top of the screen. A bentonite seal was placed above the filter pack. The 2-inch casing pipe is protected by a 4-inch square steel outer casing with a locking steel cover. The outer casing is embedded in a 2’x2’x4” concrete pad. 14.3 Methane Monitoring Program The City of Greensboro will continue to conduct routine methane monitoring events on a quarterly basis to ensure that methane concentrations do not exceed the following compliance levels as required in Rule .1626 (4).  The concentration of methane gas generated by the facility does not exceed 25 percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane in facility structures  The concentration of methane gas migrating from the Landfill does not exceed the LEL for methane at the facility property boundary). Methane wells and locations along North Buffalo Creek will continue to be monitored quarterly as part of the program. The monitoring device that will be used will be a combustible gas indicator (CGI). If concentrations are measured at greater than 25 percent of the LEL for methane in facility structures, then the landfill must immediately take all necessary steps to ensure protection of human health and shall notify the NCDEQ-DWM. Within seven days of detection, the methane gas levels detected and a description of the steps taken to protect human health shall be placed in the operating record. Within 60 days of detection, a remediation plan describing the nature and extent of the problem and the proposed remedy for methane gas releases shall be placed in the operating record, the remediation plan shall be implemented, and the NCDEQ-DWM shall be notified. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Prevention of Fires 10 Additional gas probes may be installed as required. They will be installed in a similar manner as the existing gas probes 14.4 Sampling Procedures The monitoring device that will be used during each quarterly monitoring event will be a portable combustible gas indicator. This is equipped with a flexible hose and rigid probe. Calibration of the instrument will be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. Personnel designated to perform the monitoring program will be trained in the operation, maintenance, and calibration of the monitoring equipment. The following operating procedures and safety precautions will be adhered to by all personnel when monitoring for methane gas. 1. At least two people should be present at all times when monitoring for explosive gases. 2. At a minimum, safety glasses, gloves, work boots, will be worn. Other appropriate personal protective equipment will be worn as needed. 3. Smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited at all times during the monitoring event. 4. Fire extinguishers will be readily available when performing the monitoring event. 5. Personnel performing the monitoring event will have the City radio readily available which has direct access to emergency personnel. 14.5 Emergency Response Plan In the event gas levels are detected that exceed allowable limits, the emergency response plan will be as follows. 1. For 100% LEL at landfill boundaries less than 250 feet from structures: a. Greensboro Fire Department and Hazardous Material Team will be notified. b. Implement procedures as outlined in Rule .1624 (4). 2. For 100% LEL at landfill boundaries where the distance is greater than 250 feet from structures: a. Notify the Division. 3. For structures detection levels greater than 25% LEL: a. Evacuate the structure immediately. b. Notify Greensboro Fire Department and Hazardous Material Team. 15.0 Prevention of Fires In accordance with the Clean Air Act, open burning is prohibited at this site, unless approved by the Division for the infrequent burning of land clearing debris as generated from natural disasters or emergency clean-up operations. In order to control accidental fires occurring at the site, the following preventative measures have been taken: 1. The scale attendants and equipment operators screen incoming waste loads for signs of hot loads such as smoke, steam, or heat being released from the waste. If evidence of a hot load is detected, the hauler is diverted to the paved road directly east of the scalehouse. This prevents the load from entering the disposal unit and provides a safe area for emergency crews to manage the situation. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Waste Screening Program 11 2. As described in the City of Greensboro Smoking Policy, smoking is confined to designated areas only. Smoking is not allowed within the footprint of the disposal unit, in any of the landfill equipment, or the landfill buildings. Smoking is also disallowed at the fuel dispensing station, in the vicinity of any of the landfill gas collection system structures or facilities or other fire sensitive area. 3. Motorized equipment is not parked near fuel dispensing stations longer than necessary for refueling. 4. Fuel spills are reported immediately and contained by berming the area and cleaned up immediately using an approved absorbent material. 5. Landfill equipment does not remain on the active disposal area of the site overnight. 6. Landfill equipment is washed routinely and kept free of ignitable debris. 7. Landfill equipment is maintained through a rigorous on-site routine preventative maintenance program to ensure integrity of all operating systems and fluid conveyance lines. 8. Dead trees, brush, or vegetation, adjacent to the landfill are removed immediately, and grass and weeds are routinely mowed so that brush fires cannot spread to the landfill. The landfill employs several types of large bush-hog and lawn type mowers to accomplish this task. In the event of a fire, the Greensboro Fire Department is notified immediately. Fires and explosions that occur at the C&D Landfill will be verbally communicated to the Division within 24 hours and followed by written communication within 15 days. Written notification will include the suspected cause of fire or explosion, the response taken to manage the incident, and the action(s) to be taken to prevent the future occurrence of fire or explosion. 16.0 Waste Screening Program In order to assure that prohibited wastes are not entering the landfill facility, a Waste Screening Program has been implemented at the landfill. Waste received at the scalehouse and wastes taken to the working face are inspected by trained personnel. 16.1 Waste Receiving and Inspection All vehicles (customers and visitors) must stop at the scalehouse. All refuse containing vehicles are weighed and their load assessed. All visitors must report in the scalehouse and sign in. The scale attendant requests from the driver of the refuse containing vehicle a brief description of the waste to ensure that unacceptable wastes are not allowed in the landfill. The scale attendant then requests from the driver the following information to document all inspections:  Date and time  Source and type of wastes  Hauling company, vehicle and driver identification  Net weight of load The landfill will notify the Division within 24 hours of attempted disposal of any waste the C&D landfill is not permitted to receive, including waste from outside its service area. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Waste Screening Program 12 16.2 Waste Screening Each day, haulers are subject to being screened as part of the waste screening program. The current waste screening program will continue to be utilized by the landfill staff for determination of accurate disposal areas and the prevention of prohibited wastes as described in Rule .542 (e). 1. The scale attendants utilize a computer based random number generator to determine the vehicles to be screened that day. 2. The scale attendants notify the landfill technician when the incoming loads are five loads away from the number that has been selected for screening. 3. Once the incoming load has been selected, the scale attendant informs the hauler that the load will be inspected, collects the name of the waste generator, the origin of the waste, the type of waste, and the weight of the waste. The truck is then directed to the correct disposal area. 4. Upon arrival at the disposal site, the waste hauler is directed where to deposit the load for inspection. The waste will be deposited in an area separate and away from the working face of the disposal area. The waste hauler then presents the weigh ticket to the inspector who records the ticket number, waste hauler information, date, and time. 5. The inspector will examine the load. The inspector will verify the waste complies with all items on the Waste Screening Inspection Form (Form 1 Waste Screening). The inspector will also include a brief description of the waste on the form. 6. The driver must remain with the waste until is determined by the inspectors that it is acceptable for disposal. If it deemed acceptable, the driver and truck may be released. The waste material is then moved to the working face for disposal. The inspection area is cleaned and prepared to receive another load. 7. If through the normal procedures of the Waste Screening Program or regular daily operations, a hauler has been identified as routinely bringing prohibited wastes for disposal, that hauler will be subject to daily screening in addition to the random load(s) as selected for that day. Any prohibited wastes detected through this program are recorded on the Waste Screening Inspection Form and the incident is described in detail on the Report of Attempted Disposal of Hazardous or Prohibited Waste form (Form 2 Report of Attempted Disposal of Hazardous or Prohibited Materials). If unacceptable wastes are found, the load will be isolated and secured. The Solid Waste Disposal Manager will then notify the Waste Management Specialist of NCDEQ within 24 hours of attempted disposal. All Waste Screening Inspection Forms, hauler information, reports of attempted disposal of prohibited wastes, and records of disposition of rejected wastes are maintained in the operating record in the scalehouse. These records are routinely archived electronically and also stored on media and secured in the records storage room in the Operations Building 2503 –B. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan 13 17.0 Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan In the event that identifiable hazardous waste or waste of questionable character is discovered at the landfill, whether through the waste screening program or normal operations, the Hazardous Materials Contingency Plan (Appendix 1) shall be instituted immediately. 18.0 Access Control Entry to the site is limited to landfill personnel, approved waste haulers, and properly identified persons whose entry is authorized by the site management and properly logged in. The City reserves the right to restrict access to the site. The landfill routinely performs public information tours and educational of the facility for civic groups and local grade schools and universities. These tours are conducted with a landfill staff member present at all times. Visitors may be allowed near the active area only when accompanied by one of the landfill staff. As shown in Figure 2, a sign is posted at the entrance of the landfill stating the facility name, permit number, operating hours, and prohibited wastes. As shown in Figure 3, there is additional signage posted periodically throughout the landfill to direct traffic flow and to provide information on the location of appropriate disposal sites. The facility is surrounded on the west, southwest, south, southeast and eastern sides by means of a chain link fence. All gates in this fence network are secured with locks and chains preventing vehicular access and illegal dumping. As stated in landfill property deeds, the northern and northwestern property line of the landfill facility is the center of North Buffalo Creek. This creek, being a natural barrier also prohibits vehicular access and illegal dumping. 19.0 Drainage, Sedimentation and Erosion Control The landfill facility has an extensive network of sedimentation and erosion control devices to restrict sediments being carried from the site. The landfill facility has developed a Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP, Drawing CD-80B) to further manage runoff and protect the integrity of North Buffalo Creek. Sediment basins also prevent the discharge of pollutants into the waters of the United States, including wetlands that violate any requirements of the Clean Water Act, including but not limited to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. In areas which will not have additional waste placed on them for three months or more, but where final termination of disposal operations has not occurred, vegetative cover will be present to prevent on-site erosion. Drainage channels, benches, and other features will have appropriate control devices installed. Where needed, down slope drains will be constructed of 15” corrugated plastic pipe. All devices are routinely inspected and repairs are made as necessary and as soon as possible after detection. No solid waste will be disposed of in standing water and surface water will be diverted away from the active face. In addition, surface water will not be impounded over or in waste. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Water Protection 14 20.0 Water Protection The landfill has a comprehensive surface and groundwater monitoring program (reference Figure 3 on the S&ME WQMP) to provide early detection information to allow for the prevention of pollution to groundwater. This program is also comprised of a Groundwater Monitoring Plan prepared by S&ME, project number 1584-98-081 which is included herewith and made a part thereof and is included in Appendix D. 21.0 Maintenance 21.1 Repair of Security Control Devices Should the routine inspection process note any deficiencies in any of the security and access control devices, maintenance and repair will be performed as necessary. Locks, vehicular gates, and fencing will be replaced if functioning improperly. Warning and information signs will be kept legible at all times and will be replaced if damaged by inclement weather or vandalism. 21.2 Erosion Damage Repair Should the routine inspection process note any evidence of erosion in any areas of the final cap system, maintenance, repair, and reseeding will be performed as necessary and as soon as possible after detection. Excessive slopes will be flattened if possible by adding clean fill material. If necessary, erosion control fabrics will be used to expedite re-vegetation of slopes and to secure topsoil in place. 21.3 Correction of Settlement, Subsidence, and Displacement Minimum slopes of 5% will be maintained after settlement in order to prevent ponding and allow for proper drainage while preventing infiltration. If vertical or horizontal displacement occurs due to differential settlement, cracks will be filled with appropriate material and final cover will be reestablished. 21.4 Repair of Run-On/Run-Off Control Structures All terraces, swales, and perimeter channels will be repaired, cleaned, or realigned to maintain original conditions and performance. Any culverts, pipe, or other control device that becomes damaged will be repaired or replaced. City of Greensboro | 2016 Phase II Permit Renewal Benchmarks 15 22.0 Benchmarks The landfill has a comprehensive horizontal and vertical control benchmark network (Drawing CD-82B). This network is based on NAD 83 and NAVD 88. In addition to the on-site benchmarks, the landfill facility has one NCGS control point (57W-200) on site and five points on the west, south and east sides of the facility.

The City closed an 8 acre area of the cap which was approved by North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) on February 17, 2014. A second closure of approximately 26 acres was performed and approved by NCDEQ on September 2, 2015. The remaining 31 acres are currently being filled. 1.2 Cap System Design Compacted soil liners will be incorporated in the cap system design to provide protection throughout the 30-year post-closure period. The system will consist of two layers (bottom up): the compacted soil liner and the erosion layer. The compacted soil liner forms a composite barrier designed to reduce infiltration into the Landfill, thus minimizing leachate and the potential for groundwater contamination. The erosion layer is designed to sustain vegetation and minimize erosion. The Landfill may use on- or off-site borrow material for the compacted soil layer and erosion layer. The compacted soil liner will consist of no less than 18 inches of soil having permeability less than or equal to soils underlying the landfill or no greater than 1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec, whichever is less. In order to assure that the material meets the permeability criteria, the soil will be tested prior to use and during placement. It is anticipated that the upper 12 inches of the intermediate cover will be suitable for compaction and incorporation into the compacted soil layer. Construction methods for the compacted soil liner shall be based upon the type and quality of the borrow source and shall be verified in the field by constructing test pad(s). A professional engineer shall certify that the compacted soil liner installation conforms with the plans approved by NCDEQ Division of Waste Management. The erosion layer will consist of no less than 6 inches of earthen material capable of sustaining native plant growth. It is anticipated that this layer will consist of suitable on-site or off-site borrow material. The materials of the erosion layer will be selected considering soil type, nutrient levels, pH, erodibility, sideslope drainage, and other factors. The vegetation will be selected based upon the following characteristics. • Species of grasses which are locally adapted and resistant to drought or temperature extremes. • Having roots which will not disrupt the compacted soil liner. • Ability to thrive in low nutrient soil and develop a good stand to resist erosion. • Survive and function with little or no maintenance. 1 City of Greensboro | Closure/Post-Closure Plan Closure Plan All cover material will be free of putrescible material, solid waste, vegetation (prior to placement), rocks, construction debris, frozen soil, and other deleterious materials. 1.3 Final Contour Requirements The final contour requirements for closure are shown on the Drawing C-02. These contours represent the top of the intermediate cover layer. The Landfill is designed to have minimum top slopes of five percent and side slopes of 4H:1V. Final contours have been established to allow the Landfill’s surface water to drain off the final cover while limiting erosion potential and maintaining post settlement slopes greater than five percent. A system of sideslope diversion channels, slope drains, and perimeter channels are designed to convey the runoff to one of seven adjacent sedimentation basins. 1.4 Cap System Material Requirements Based on 18 inches of compacted soil liner placed over the areas that require final closure, 75,000 CY of compacted soil will be required for the first layer of the cap system. A minimum of 25,000 CY will be required for the erosion layer. The following table summarizes the cap system requirements for White Street C&D Landfill. Table 1 Cap System Requirements Cap System Requirements 18-inch Compacted Soil Liner 75,000 CY 6-inch Erosion Layer 25,000 CY 1.5 Erosion Control Measures Vegetation will be established once the final grades of the erosion layer are complete to prevent erosion of the final cover. The sedimentation basins were designed to control the 24-hour 25- year storm event. 1.6 Settlement Subsidence and Displacement Landfill compaction methods, which include the use of compaction equipment to spread and compact in layers, combined with an adequate number of passes over each layer of waste, will be utilized to reduce voids and minimize differential settlement. Proper placement of weekly, intermediate, and final cover will reduce the moisture content of the waste prior to site closure and further reduce settlement. Final slopes of the landfill have been developed to allow for this anticipated subsidence so that long-term positive drainage of the fill will not be hindered. 1.7 Schedule for Closure According to Rule .0543(c)(5), closure is required to begin either 30 days after the final known receipt of waste, 30 days after a 10 acre area or greater is within 15 feet of final design grades or within a year of the most recent receipt of waste. The City of Greensboro will request an extension from the NCDEQ Division of Waste Management to begin closure activities no later than 30 days after the known final receipt of waste in accordance with Rule .0543(c)(5). 2 City of Greensboro | Closure/Post-Closure Plan Closure Plan Closure activities will be completed within 180 days of the start of closure unless an extension has been requested and received in accordance with Rule .0543(c)(6). 1.8 Notice of Closure and Date of Final Waste Acceptance A sign indicating the anticipated date of closure and the date of final waste acceptance will be conspicuously posted at the facility at least 30 days in advance. Prior to beginning closure of the unit or portions thereof, the NCDEQ Department of Solid Waste Management will be notified that a notice of intent to close has been placed in the operating record. 1.9 Closure Verification The following procedures will be implemented following closure. • A Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) report shall be submitted to the NCDEQ Division of Solid Waste Management. This CQA report shall describe the observations and tests used before, during, and upon completion of construction to ensure that the construction materials meet the cap design specifications and the construction and certification requirements. The CQA report shall contain as-built drawings. • A signed certification from an independent registered professional engineer verifying that closure has been completed in accordance with the closure plan will be submitted to the NCDEQ Division of Waste Management and a copy will be placed in the operating record. • Within 90 days, a survey plat prepared by a professional land surveyor registered by the State, indicating the location and dimensions of landfill disposal areas, will be recorded in the RMC office. • A notation shall be recorded on the deed notifying any potential purchaser of the property that the land has been used as a solid waste management unit and that future use is restricted under Paragraph (8) of Rule .0543(c). A copy of the deed notation as recorded shall be filed with the operating record. 1.10 Cost Estimate of Closure Activities The cost estimate of closure activities is provided in Appendix E1. The estimate is in 2016 dollars and will be updated in the next financial assurance cycle. The cost estimate is subject to change prior to the closure of the landfill and as the closure design is finalized. 3 City of Greensboro | Closure/Post-Closure Plan Post-Closure Plan 2.0 Post-Closure Plan 2.1 Introduction This Post-Closure Plan has been developed to outline steps to be taken to ensure the environmental soundness of the Landfill during its post-closure care period. The post-closure care period will last at least 30 years after closure completion and at a minimum will consist of the following. • Maintaining integrity and effectiveness of final cover system. • Performing groundwater and surface water monitoring. • Maintaining and operating a gas monitoring system. • Maintaining run-on/run-off controls. No wastes will remain exposed after closure of the unit. Access to the closed site by the public will be restricted. Any proposed use will be evaluated to determine its potential for posing a significant health hazard. 2.2 Post-Closure Contact All correspondence and questions concerning the post-closure care of the unit should be directed to: Solid Waste Disposal Manager (336) 412-3959 2503 White Street Greensboro, NC 27405 2.3 Description of Use After the unit is officially closed in accordance with the Closure Plan, the area will be allowed to return to a natural vegetative state. The City will maintain control of the property and prevent public access to it during the post-closure period. There will be an access road on the cap to allow proper maintenance during post-closure. Final location of the access will be determined as a part of operations and Closure Plan. 2.4 Maintenance 2.4.1 Repair of Security Control Devices All security control devices will be inspected and maintained as necessary to ensure access to the site is controlled. Locks, vehicular gates, and fencing will be replaced if functioning improperly. Warning signs will be kept legible at all times and will be replaced if damaged by inclement weather or vandalism. 2.4.2 Erosion Damage Repair If erosion of the final cover occurs during post-closure, the affected area will be repaired and re- seeded as necessary. Excessive slopes will be flattened if possible by adding clean fill material. 4 City of Greensboro | Closure/Post-Closure Plan Post-Closure Plan If necessary, erosion control fabrics will be used to expedite rapid revegetation of slopes and to secure topsoil in place. Rough surfaces, which cause isolated erosion areas will be smooth and re-seeded as necessary. 2.4.3 Correction of Settlement, Subsidence, and Displacement Minimum slopes of five percent will be maintained in order to prevent ponding and allow for proper drainage without infiltration. If vertical or horizontal displacement occurs due to differential settlement, cracks will be filled with appropriate material and final cover will be reestablished. 2.4.4 Repair of Run-On/Run-Off Control Structures All side slope terraces, ditches, and perimeter channels will be repaired, cleaned or realigned in order to maintain original condition. Any culverts that are damaged will be replaced. 2.4.5 Groundwater Monitoring System Groundwater wells will be inspected regularly (at the time of sampling) to ensure integrity. Persons inspecting a well should look for signs of well tampering, cracking or degradation, and determine whether the well needs to be replaced. If the decision is made to replace and abandon a well, the replacement well should be installed 5 to 10 feet from the abandoned well in accordance with previous well specifications. Well abandonment should be accomplished by pulling the casing out and grouting the hole. 2.5 Monitoring Plan The closed unit shall be monitored for 30 years. A series of inspections shall be scheduled to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the cap system, storm water control system, groundwater monitoring system, gas collection system, and to protect human health and the environment. 2.5.1 Inspection Frequencies Inspections to be conducted during the post-closure care period will occur regularly as follows: Table 2 Post Closure Inspection Frequencies Post-Closure Inspection Frequencies Inspection Activity Years 1-3 Years 4-30 Security Control Devices Quarterly Quarterly Cover Drainage System Functioning Quarterly Semiannually Groundwater Monitoring System Semiannually Semiannually Erosion Damage Quarterly Semiannually Cover Settlement, Subsidence, and Displacement Quarterly Semiannually Vegetative Cover Condition Quarterly Semiannually Stormwater Control System Quarterly Semiannually Benchmark Integrity Annually Annually 5 City of Greensboro | Closure/Post-Closure Plan Post-Closure Plan 2.5.2 Quarterly Inspections Quarterly inspections of the closed site will include examination of the security control devices for signs of deterioration or vandalism to ensure access to the site is limited to authorized persons. 2.5.3 Semiannual Inspections Semiannual inspections of the site during the post-closure period will be conducted by the Owner or Owner’s representative with attention paid to the integrity of the final cover system. This includes inspection for erosion damage, a good stand of vegetative cover, and cover settlement, subsidence, and displacement. Drainage ditches will be cleared of litter and debris, benchmark integrity will be noted and maintained as well as the integrity of the groundwater and gas monitoring systems. Groundwater monitoring will continue on a regular basis throughout the post-closure care period. The parameters chosen for analysis will be no less than the requirements of regulatory agencies. Groundwater monitoring wells will be inspected in accordance with the post-closure inspection protocol. A report of findings will be made to the responsible party via the Post- Closure Inspection Checklist, including any recommendations for actions necessary to ensure the site continues to meet the closure performance standard. The engineer will also receive copies of the quarterly inspection reports and respond to any comments that demand immediate attention. 2.6 Engineering Certification Based on the monitoring reports and semiannual site visits, annual certifications by the owner or owner’s representative will be placed in the operating record. They will certify that the post closure plan is being followed, noting discrepancies along with the corrective actions undertaken. At the end of the post-closure period, the individual certifications will be compiled into a final document and forwarded to NCDEQ. 2.7 Cost Estimate of Post Closure Care Activities The cost estimate of post-closure care activities is provided in Appendix E1. The estimate is in 2016 dollars and will be updated in the next financial assurance cycle. 6 City of Greensboro | Closure/Post-Closure Plan Appendix F1 – Closure/Post-Closure Cost Estimate F1 Appendix F1 – Closure/Post- Closure Cost Estimate This page intentionally left blank.
