(JOYCE) is submitting this response to your comments on the Permit Renewal Application in the email dated January 27, 2016, for the above-referenced project. For your reference, your comment is repeated below in italicized print, with our response provided in bold print. Facility Plan 1. (Section 3.2, Operating Capacity) What is the remaining capacity of the Phase 3 based on the latest (June 30, 2015) survey result in consistent with Drawing No. FP-09? What is estimated remaining service life of the Phase 3? Phase 3 gross designed capacity is 1,851,000 cy (presented on Drawing No. FP-09 and Table 1). As of June 30, 2015, the remaining volume is 1,126,375 cy, of which 123,508 cy is required for final cover. As a result, 1,002,867 cy remains for waste disposal and daily/intermediate cover soil. Assuming an annual tonnage of 196,862 and a compaction efficiency 1,000 lbs/cy, the remaining life of the landfill is about three years as of June 30, 2015 (Table 1). 2. (Section 3.2, Soil Resources) The volume ratio of waste to daily cover soil was 7 to 1 which was used for the calculations of the landfill capacity and required soil amount for landfill operations in the previously permit application (DIN 12653) approved January 25, 2011. Please provide explanation (s) why this ratio changes to 20 to 1. Paragraph 3.2 Soil Resources has been revised to reflect waste to soil ration per operations. Operations Plan 3. (Section 2.1, Active Area) Two sumps for Phases 3 are located on the north side of the cells according to the Engineering Plan Drawing No. EP-02. Please revise the description accordingly. The description was revised to match the Engineering Plan Drawing No. EP-02. Mr. Ming-Tai Chao April 19, 2016 Page 2 of 5 4. (Section 5.3) Please provide explanation (s) why the volume ratio of waste to daily cover soil changes to 20 to 1 (see Comment No. 2).

The DENR officially became the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on Sept. 18, 2015 when Governor McCrory signed the 2015-2016 state budget into law. Please use the correct department name in the Section. All references to DENR have been updated to read DEQ. Closure & Post-Closure Plan 13. The SWS records show that the permanent closed areas of the landfill are IRL (20.2 acres), Phase 1 (20.5 acres) and the west slope area of Phase 2 (7.3-acre). Phases 2 that has the approved waste footprint of 17.2 acres has approximately 9.9-acre remaining area subjected to final/permanent closure. Therefore, please i. Submitting the update Section 1.1.2 of the Closure Plan. According to the Rule 15A NCAC 13B .1629(b)(1), the largest area of the landfill might be closed in the next permit cycle should be 29.6 acres including Phases 2 remaining area (9.9 acres) and Phase 3 area (19.7 acres). Section 1.1.2 has been revised to reflect the areas remaining to be closed. ii. Please revise the closure area in the closure cost estimates in Appendix VII-2 accordingly. The costs shall be in 2015 dollar values (Section 1.7). The associated costs in Appendix VII-2 that were likely approved in 2011 must be adjusted annually (from 2012 through 2015) for inflation accordingly. The inflation factor can be found in the SWS website http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wm/sw/financialassurance. Closure cost estimates have been revised to reflect the areas to be closed in 2015 dollars. 14. The Post-Closure Plan must describe the requirements of inspection, maintenance, and decommissioning of the LFGCCs. Section 2.3 Post Closure Maintenance is included in the Plan. No changes have been made. Section 2.4 Inspection Plan is included. No changes have been made. Section 2.5.3 Landfill Gas Monitoring includes the LFGCC decommissioning. No changes have been made. Mr. Ming-Tai Chao April 19, 2016 Page 4 of 5 15. (Section 2.1) The Facility Contact must be updated accordingly. The facility contact information has been updated. 16. (Section 2.8 & Appendix VII-6) The costs for the 30-year post-closure cares shall be in 2015 dollar values. The associated costs in Appendix VII-6 that were likely approved in the 2011 must be adjusted annually (from 2012 through 2015) for inflation accordingly. The inflation factor can be found in the SWS website http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wm/sw/financialassurance Section 2.8 and Appendix VII-6 have been updated to reflect 2015 costs. 17. The costs for surface water monitoring are not included in the Post- Closure Cost Estimates. Please revise the cost estimate by adding the requested cost item. Surface water monitoring has been added to the Post-Closure period cost estimate. 18. (Appendix VII-6, Post- Closure Cost Estimates) Please address the following concerns associated with the costs of the landfill gas monitoring system: i. Why does the landfill gas monitoring system maintenance last for 20 years, not 30 years required by the rules 15A NCAC 13B .1627(d)? If the costs are directly related to the existing landfill gas collection and control system (LFGCCs), the 20-year period may be acceptable, but not for the on-site explosive gas monitoring & reporting which must be conducted quarterly for at least 30-year period. Please separate the costs for LFGCCs and explosive gas monitoring. Explosive gasses monitoring beyond 20 years has been added to the Post-Closure Care Plan and the cost estimate. ii. What are the costs for decommissioning of the LFGCCs? Please add the costs to the post- closure cost estimates. Decommissioning and estimated costs have been added to the post-closure cost estimate. 19. (Appendix VII-6, Post- Closure Cost Estimates) Please address the following concerns associated with the costs for Leachate Management: i. The costs associated with semi-annually leachate sampling are not available. Semiannual leachate sampling cost has been added to the post-closure care cost estimate. ii. The leachate amount of 0.089 gallons per acre per day is not suitable for the proposed site closure scenario. The referenced leachate amount would be generated (from HELP model) when the height of waste is 200 feet (Profile 5, Appendix IV-3). The maximum waste height at a probable closure for Phases 1 - 3 in this permit cycle is likely ranging from 40 to 80 feet (referring Drawing No. FP-09). Therefore, the associated costs for leachate management are calculated based on the questionable assumptions. Please provide the reasonable estimate leachate amount and revise the cost estimate. The probable post-closure leachate generation has been calculated by HELP model for the Phases 1-3 utilizing 50 foot maximum height resulting on 0.3 gallons per acre per day. The Post-Closure care estimate has been revised according the calculated leachate generation rate. Mr. Ming-Tai Chao April 19, 2016 Page 5 of 5 iii. (Continue the previous Comment No. 19ii) After completing the proposed leachate disposal project, the leachate would be discharged into the city sewer system according to the Leachate Agreement between the City of New Bern and CRSWMA. The costs associated with leachate disposal might be eliminated from the 30-year post-closure care cost estimates after CRSWMA submits the SWS a permit modification application including the as-built drawings (see Comment No. 6) requesting an approval of cost reduction. Leachate disposal post-closure cost estimate is currently base on direct discharge to POTW. 20. (Appendix VII-6, Post- Closure Cost Estimates) Please add the following the costs to the Routine Maintenance and Repairs: fencing, gates, & signage, access roads toward monitoring locations, stormwater, erosion, and sedimentation control facilities, leachate seeps, integrity of the final cap system (Sections 2.3 of the Post-Closure Plan). Section 2.3 has been expanded to include noted routine maintenance and repairs. According to NCGS 130A-295.2(h1), the minimum cost in the amount of two million dollars for potential assessment and corrective action (PACA) at the facility, which is additional costs to the closure and post-closure care activities, must be included to the CRSWMA financial assurance (Rule 15A NCAC 13B .1628). Please add this PACA requirements & cost to the Closure & Post Closure Plans. PACA has been added to the Post-Closure Cots estimate according to NCGS 130A- 295.2(h). Please do not hesitate to contact us during the review process with any questions or comments you may have. We look forward to working with you to get the authority’s permit renewed for continued operation of the landfill. Sincerely, JOYCE ENGINEERING, INC. Amy Davis, P.E.

April 2016 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The facility plan describes the comprehensive development of the MSWLF facility prepared in accordance with subsection .1619 of the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules. The plan includes a set of drawings and a report which present the long-term, general design concepts related to construction, operation, and closure of the MSWLF unit(s), including leachate management. 2.0 FACILITY DRAWINGS 2.1. Site Development The overall landfill facility is illustrated on Drawing FP-01. CRSWMA’s property boundary comprises 502 acres. Property information, including copies of deeds and a map with deed book and page callouts is provided in Appendix III-1. There is one waste disposal unit of 101 acres. The waste disposal unit consists of two closed areas - the Interim Regional Landfill (IRL - 20.2 acres) and Phase 1 (20.5 acres); Phase 2 (17.2 acres) - temporary closure; the Phase 3 an active disposal area (19.7 acres); and the Phase 4 expansion (23.4 acres). Phases 5 and 6 are planned as vertical expansions. Near the facility entrance at the south end of the property there are truck scales and the landfill office/scalehouse which is connected to a maintenance shop. Just beyond the scales there is a public convenience center which accepts household municipal solid waste, which is landfilled, and oyster shells which are recycled. Continuing to the north there is a composting facility (CRSWMA holds a separate permit, Solid Waste Compost Facility Permit Number SWC-25-11, for the composting facility) where yard waste and clean wood debris is processed. Wood pallets that are brought to the landfill are processed at the composting facility as well. Next to the composting facility is a covered concrete pad (approximately 100’ x 250’) where scrap tires are collected and loaded onto trailers for removal from the facility. This area is also used for miscellaneous material storage. The waste disposal unit begins approximately 2,300 feet north of the facility entrance and extends to the north and east. The Phase 3 disposal area is located immediately north of the existing municipal solid waste disposal area (Phase 2). Phase 3 will be developed to a maximum elevation of approximately 150 feet, and Phase 4 will be developed to a maximum elevation of approximately 130 feet. Phases 5 and 6 represent further vertical development of the footprint established by previous phases, with Phase 5 reaching a maximum elevation of 200 feet, and Phase 6 reaching the final elevation of 270 feet. Site suitability has previously been established, and therefore information regarding site suitability is not provided in this renewal application. 2.2. Landfill Construction Landfill construction is proposed to occur in three phases (4, 5 and 6) beyond the current phase, each with an operating life of approximately five years. Base grades for the Phase 4 expansions are shown on Drawing FP-03. Final grades for all future phases are shown Drawings FP-06 through FP- Section III - Facility Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. November 2015 Rev. April 2016 2 07. Base grades are designed to be a minimum of four feet above groundwater. Final grades shown were developed for fill slopes of 3 horizontal to 1 vertical (3H:1V). 2.3 Landfill Operation Drawing No. FP-05 includes the general drainage grade and flow direction for the leachate system and pipelines to the leachate management facility. Phasing for the facility is included on Drawings No. FP-06 through FP-07. The phasing plans include transitional contours for each phase of development and the location of stormwater segregation features. Stormwater control features are included in the Erosion and Sediment Control plans (submitted under separate cover) and Engineering Plan (included with this submittal). 3.0 FACILITY REPORT 3.1 Waste Stream Types of Waste Specified for Disposal: The facility will accept residential, commercial, and industrial waste, wastewater treatment sludges, and construction and demolition (C&D) debris for disposal. C&D waste is co-disposed in the lined MSW landfill. Further detail regarding acceptable wastes, prohibited wastes and special wastes are presented in section 3.3 through 3.5 of the Operations Plan. Disposal Rates and Estimated Variances: The Franchise Agreement and Intercounty Solid Waste Agreement for the Tuscarora Landfill do not limit the tonnages that may be disposed of at the facility. Disposal rates for the Tuscarora Landfill are presented in Table 1, and were obtained from the CRSWMA Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and the scale house records. The table shows the annual waste disposal quantities for FY1994 through FY2015, with projected values thereafter. Between 1995 and 2015, annual growth in waste disposal has varied from a low of -13% (2012-2013) to a high of 57% (1995-1996). The average annual growth rate during the period FY1994 through FY2015 is 5%, although the average appears to be skewed on the high side due to abnormally high increases from 1995-1996 and 1996-1997. The large degree of variation may reflect fluctuations in clean up debris. Over the past four years, the average annual growth rate has been 3.27%. For planning purposes, a growth rate of 2% per year has been assumed for 2016 through 2018. Beyond 2018, a growth rate of 5% per year was assumed. Projected disposal amounts by phase are shown in Table 1. Based on these figures, the facility has the capacity to operate until year 2030. For purposes of this Renewal Application, CRSWMA is requesting an allowable annual tonnage rate of 249,000. Facility Service Area: The Tuscarora Landfill accepts waste generated within the boundaries of Carteret, Craven, Jones and Pamlico Counties. Municipalities and federal facilities within these boundaries are included. Section III - Facility Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. November 2015 Rev. April 2016 3 Waste Management Procedures: The following procedures are in use at the facility and are proposed to continue. During operating hours, traffic is routed from the entrance gate and scalehouse to a paved road that becomes a gravel road leading to the disposal area. A convenience center is provided near the scalehouse for residential drop-off. The convenience center enables residential users to dispose of waste without having to drive to the working face of the landfill. Equipment Requirements: The following equipment is used at the landfill. In general, the type and number of pieces of equipment listed here is expected to be suitable for handling the anticipated waste stream for the duration of Phase 3. Equipment needs will be reviewed annually, and additional equipment will be purchased or leased as needed. New equipment will be phased in as older equipment is retired. Type Status Quantity Compactor Active 2 Compactor Reserve 2 Dozer Active 1 Dozer Reserve 1 Excavator Active 2 Off-road Dump Truck Active 1 Loader Active 2 Motor Grader Active 1 Tractor Active 1 Water Truck Active 1 Vacuum Active 1 Fuel Truck Active 1 3.2 Landfill Capacity Landfill capacity and soil requirements, by phase, were calculated using airspace volumes obtained using AutoDesk Civil3D/Survey software. The data and assumptions used are consistent with the disposal rates discussed in the preceding section, and are representative of the operational requirements and conditions anticipated for the facility. Operating Capacity: The property totals approximately 502 acres in size, of which 101 acres make up the overall landfill footprint. The operating capabilities, by phase and total, are shown in Table 1 and are summarized below: Section III - Facility Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. November 2015 Rev. April 2016 4 Phase Area (Acres) Gross Capacity(1) (cubic yards) Status IRL 20.2 5,198,300 closed 1 20.5 closed 2 17.2 temporary closure 3 19.7 1,851,000 active 4 23.4 2,354,000 not constructed 5 vertical 2,745,000 not constructed 6 vertical 1,800,400 not constructed Total 101 13,948,700 (1) Gross capacity is defined as the airspace between top of drainage layer and approximate final Phase elevation. Phase 3 is the current active disposal area (19.7 acres) with a gross designed capacity of 1,851,000 cy (presented on Drawing No. FP-09 and Table 1). As of June 30, 2015, the remaining volume is 1,126,375 cy, of which 123,508 cy is required for final cover. As a result, 1,002,867 cy remains for waste disposal and daily/intermediate cover soil. Assuming an annual tonnage of 196,862 and a compaction efficiency of 1,000 lbs/cy, the remaining life of the landfill is about three years as of June 30, 2015 (Table 1). Soil Resources: The in-place ratio of waste to soil used to calculate the operating life and operating soil requirements for each phase was assumed to be 26 to 1 which is generally consistent with results observed from air space utilization studies. The on-site soil requirements are shown by year and cumulatively in Table 2. The deficit of soil during the operation of Phase 3 (and future Phases 4 through 6) can be satisfied by borrowing soil from other locations within the limits of the facility property or from off- site sources. Based on the conceptual design volumes, the total soil requirement over the life of the facility (Phases 3 – 6) is approximately 1,007,164 cubic yards. Structural fill materials for the construction of the base grades may come from off-site sources such as the Martin Marietta quarry, located approximately 5 miles east from the site. Borrow studies were previously completed to identify the quality and quantity of on-site soil resources. Soils that are suitable for final cover or base liner construction were identified and will be reserved for that purpose so they will not be used for daily cover. 3.3 Containment and Environmental Control Systems Base Liner System: The proposed liner system will consist of the following components from top to bottom. This is an alternate liner that was previously approved for Phases 2 and 3 of the Tuscarora Landfill. Section III - Facility Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. November 2015 Rev. April 2016 5  24-inch granular protective and/or drainage layer;  Non-woven geosynthetic cushion;  60 mil high density polyethylene (HDPE) textured geomembrane;  Geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) adhered to a 60-mil textured HDPE membrane (GCL side up); and  12-inch compacted soil layer having permeability no greater than 1x10-5cm/sec. Leachate Management System: The leachate collection and removal system (LCRS) is designed to meet the requirements of the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Regulations. The LCRS will include the following components:  Drainage layer;  Leachate header pipes;  Leachate pump stations; and  Existing leachate lagoons (2). Leachate will be conveyed through the drainage layer consisting of at least 24 inches of free- draining granular material. Within the drainage layer, a network of perforated collection pipes will intercept the leachate, conveying the leachate by gravity to the sump areas. Leachate will be pumped from the sump areas via pumping stations and a force main system to the existing leachate lagoons. At this time, the lagoons’ leachate levels are lowered periodically for transport by tanker truck to the City of New Bern Wastewater Treatment Facility. An agreement to pump leachate through a sewer pipe to the City of New Bern Wastewater Treatment Facility will be in effect by summer 2016. This newest agreement was put in place for the force-main project. Under this agreement, the lagoons’ leachate levels will be controlled by pumping it through the recently constructed sewer pipe to the City of New Bern Wastewater Treatment Facility. A copy of the new leachate agreement is provided in Appendix VI-2 of the Operations Plan. Additional information pertaining to the quantity of leachate generated, the storage capacity of the lagoons, and the offsite disposal capacity are provided in the Engineering Plan. Cleanouts will be provided for the leachate collector lines and leachate header pipe to provide access for video inspection and to clean the pipes. Pipes will be cleaned using either hydraulic or mechanical methods. Cap System: The cap system is described from bottom to top in the following paragraphs. a. Intermediate Cover and Leveling Course - Local soil will be placed over the daily cover soil to provide at least 12 inches of intermediate cover and a uniform base for construction of the cap. Section III - Facility Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. November 2015 Rev. April 2016 6 b. Gas Migration Layer – A geonet composite will be installed between the intermediate cover and the overlying infiltration layer. The geonet composite will provide a pathway for accumulated gas to move laterally to the vents. c. Composite Cap: GCL Component - The infiltration layer is proposed to consist of a geosynthetic clay liner. This layer will be constructed over the geonet composite that will serve as the gas migration layer. Installation and testing requirements for the cap are provided in the Specifications (Appendix IV-6) and the CQA Plan. d. Composite Cap: Geomembrane Component - The geomembrane component of the infiltration layer will consist of a textured 40 mil flexible geomembrane. The membrane will be in direct contact with the underlying layer. The testing program and quality assurance requirements for the geomembrane are described in the CQA Plan. e. Drainage Layer - A drainage layer consisting of a geonet and geotextile composite will be placed over the geomembrane to promote drainage. f. Protective Layer - A layer consisting of at least 18 inches of local soil will be placed above the drainage layer to provide a protective cover for the underlying cap components. g. Vegetative Layer - A layer of topsoil material or organically amended local soil will be placed above the protective layer. This soil layer will be at least 6 inches in thickness. The topsoil material will be lightly compacted so that a good stand of vegetation can be established. Soil tests may be conducted prior to seeding to determine if soil additives are needed to establish and maintain the vegetation. Gas Management System: Active Landfill Gas Collection and Control MSW landfills that have permitted capacities greater than 2.5 million Mg or 2.5 million cubic meters and that have an emission rate for non-methane organic compounds (NMOC) in excess of 50 Mg/year, must install and operate active landfill gas collection and control systems in accordance with the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for MSW landfills (40 CFR 60, Subpart WWW). Such is the case for the Tuscarora Landfill. An active landfill gas collection and control system is in place on the IRL and Phase I and Phase 2 of the landfill. Expansion of the gas collection system to cover all areas where waste has been in place for at least five years will occur as required by the NSPS. The NSPS regulations require that a Gas Collection and Control System (GCCS) Design Plan be prepared to demonstrate how landfill gas will be collected and controlled for the life of the facility. Section III - Facility Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. November 2015 Rev. April 2016 7 The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ), formerly known as Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR), Division of Air Quality (DAQ) has the responsibility of approving GCCS Plans and enforcing compliance with the NSPS regulations. A GCCS Plan for the Tuscarora Landfill was submitted to the DAQ in October, 2007 and approved in September, 2008. The approved GCCS Plan was provided in the Phase 3 Expansion Permit Application Engineering Plan as Appendix IV-10. The proposed layout for the gas system at final closure of the facility is shown on FP-08. Operations of the active landfill gas system is regulated by DAQ. The Tuscarora Landfill Operates the gas system under Air Quality Permit No. 09755T01 which is provided as Appendix VI-3 of the Operations Plan. Monitoring for Explosion Hazards To protect public health and safety in the vicinity of the landfill, landfill gas produced by the decomposition of refuse will be controlled and monitored during the operational, closure, and post- closure periods. The following regulatory levels must be maintained:  The concentration of methane gas generated is not to exceed 25 percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane in on-site structures (excluding gas control or recovery system components); and  The concentration of methane gas is not to exceed the LEL for methane at the facility property boundary. Gas monitoring will be conducted during the active life of the landfill and throughout the closure and post-closure periods to ensure compliance with the regulatory limits. At a minimum, quarterly monitoring of explosive gases will be conducted in on-site structures. If additional structures are built, the monitoring program will be expanded to include the new structures. The Tuscarora Landfill does not have the potential for subsurface methane migration since the base grades of the landfill are elevated above the existing ground in order to achieve the required separation from groundwater and slopes. Therefore, the waste and the generation of landfill gas occurs above the surrounding ground and any lateral migration from the landfill would release the gas to the atmosphere within the landfill property boundary. Additionally, the water table, which is near ground surface, and the ditches around the landfill hold water year around, serve as a barrier to subsurface migration. However, quarterly landfill gas monitoring will include probes GP-6, GP 7 and GP-8 for continued monitoring of the IRL and Phase 1 of the Tuscarora Landfill for potential subsurface migration. Landfill gas monitoring probes GP-2, GP-3, GP-4 and GP-5 will no longer be monitored for landfill gas migration. GP-8 has replaced GP-2 and GP-3 as a more acceptable location for monitoring at the property boundary southwest of the IRL. GP-4 and GP 5 are located to the south of the IRL, centrally located away from the property boundary, and no longer satisfy the requirements of monitoring for landfill gas migration toward the property boundary. Finally, fifteen Section III - Facility Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. November 2015 Rev. April 2016 8 bar-hole probes (hand-driven hole approximately 0.5-inch by 2.5 to 4-feet deep) surrounding the parameter of Phases 2, 3 and 4 are monitored quarterly. 3.4 Special Engineering Features Stormwater Management System: Phase 3 is designed to drain leachate to two sumps. Initial waste placement in the new phase will be done in one half of the phase so that stormwater will be segregated in the other half until filling progresses to cover the entire base of the landfill. Stormwater will be pumped from the landfill sump into the drainage ditch until drainage to the sump becomes leachate, at which time it will be pumped from the sump into a forcemain pipe to the leachate lagoons onsite for storage.

CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 1 1.0 GENERAL This operations plan describes how the design and construction plans will be implemented during the life of the facility. The plan consists of drawings and accompanying text that illustrate existing conditions, cell progression, waste placement and daily operations, leachate management, special waste management, and environmental monitoring. The Tuscarora Landfill is owned and operated by CRSWMA. The landfill property is located in the western portion of Craven County, North Carolina, between Tuscarora and Cove City and is identified as Solid Waste Facility Permit #25-09. There is one waste disposal unit of 101 acres. The waste disposal unit consists of two closed areas - the Interim Regional Landfill (IRL - 20.2 acres) and Phase 1 (20.5 acres); Phase 2 (17.2 acres) -temporary closure; the Phase 3 an active disposal area (19.7 acres); and the Phase 4 expansion (23.4 acres). Phases 5 and 6 are planned as vertical expansions. Phase 1 received a permit to operate on August 25, 1999 and Phase 2 received a permit to operate on May 8, 2006. Placement of waste in Phase 2 began in February of 2007. Phase 2 which has reached capacity and was closed during the fall of 2013. Phase 3 was open for disposal on May 9, 2013. It is currently the active disposal area, and is expected to reach capacity in spring 2019. Currently, an average of 700 tons of waste is managed daily at the site, approximately two thirds of which is municipal solid waste and one third construction and demolition debris. The facility is open six days per week. Yard wastes and storm debris are collected and composted at the site, and scrap tires are collected for off-site recycling or disposal. Ancillary structures including a scalehouse and a maintenance building are also on the site. 2.0 OPERATIONS DRAWINGS 2.1 Existing Conditions Closed Areas The closed portions of the landfill which include the IRL (20.2 acres), Phase 1 (20.5 acres), and Phase 2 (17.2 acres) have an active landfill gas collection system consisting of 59 extraction wells and a buried HDPE pipe network. The landfill gas is routed to an electricity generating facility onsite which is owned and operated by INGENCO Wholesale Power, LLC, or a utility open flare for control. A modulating valve was installed on October 27, 2015 and placed in commission on October 29, 2015. The valve was installed on the header line after the knock out pot. This valve will allow both the flare and generator to operate simultaneously and maintain constant vacuum on the landfill. The Tuscarora Landfill has been issued a Title V Operating Permit by the Division of Air Quality (Air Permit #09755T01). Leachate collected from the closed portions of the landfill is pumped into the leachate lagoons west of the landfill. VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 2 Active Area Waste filling is currently under way in Phase 3, a 19.7 acre area adjoining Phase 2 to the north. Truck access to Phase 3 is provided by a road up the south side of the IRL and across the east side of Phase 1 and Phase 2. Perimeter road around the landfill allows personnel access to maintain and operate the facility. The Phase 3 base grades slope from south to north, with two sumps located at the north side of the cell to collect leachate. Leachate is pumped through a 4” dual contained HDPE forcemain into the leachate lagoons. Other On-site Facilities Other on-site development consists of a scale house and office, maintenance garage, a yard waste/storm debris composting facility, tire collection, inert debris disposal, and a public convenience center area. See Drawing OP-1 for an illustration of existing conditions at the site. 2.2 Proposed Development Three additional phases (Phases 4, 5 and 6) of development for municipal solid waste disposal are proposed. The proposed development is located in areas that have previously been designated as suitable for landfill development. Development of the Phase 4 will complete the footprint with an expansion to the south of Phase 3 and east of Phase 2. The final two phases will be vertical expansions. Development in accordance with the phasing plan will allow portions of the landfill side slopes to be closed at various times during its projected operating life. The on-site soil resources, usage, and balances are shown by phase in the Facility Plan. The deficit of soil during the operation of Phase 3 can be satisfied by borrowing soil from on-site borrow areas or from off-site locations such as the Martin Marietta quarry. Overall, based on conceptual design volumes, there is an estimated soil requirement over the life of the facility of approximately 1,098,240 cubic yards. 2.3 Operations The progression of operations is presented on Drawing No. OP-03. This drawing includes the progression of initial waste placement, transition contours and final contours. 3.0 GENERAL OPERATING CONDITIONS 3.1 Hours of Operation The landfill is open to private waste haulers and the public from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Three holidays are observed; Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 3 3.2 Site Access and Safety Access to the landfill is controlled through a single access road with a secure gate to prevent access when the landfill is not open. Other access roads located around the perimeter of the landfill are used for logging purposes with any entry points into the landfill being gated. A sign containing information required in Rule .1626(6)(e) (i.e., dumping procedures, hours, permit number, etc.) is posted at the landfill entrance. During operating hours, traffic is routed from the entrance gate and scale house to a paved and gravel road leading to the disposal area. Directional signs and speed limit signs are posted to provide traffic control. The road is maintained so that it is passable during all weather conditions. An attendant is on duty at the scale house at all times during operating hours. 3.3 Acceptable Waste The landfill will accept only those solid wastes included in the current permit, including household, commercial and industrial solid wastes. These are defined in Rules .0532 and .1602 as follows:  Household waste means any solid waste derived from households including single and multiple residences, hotels and motels, bunkhouses, ranger stations, crew quarters, campgrounds, picnic grounds, and day-use recreation areas.  Commercial solid waste means all types of solid waste generated by stores, offices, restaurants, warehouses, and other non-manufacturing activities, excluding residential and industrial wastes.  Industrial solid waste means solid waste generated by manufacturing or industrial processes that is not a hazardous waste regulated under Subtitle C of RCRA. Such waste may include, but is not limited to, waste resulting from the following manufacturing processes: electric power generation; fertilizer/agricultural chemicals; food and related products/by-products; inorganic chemicals; iron and steel manufacturing; leather and leather products; nonferrous metals manufacturing/ foundries; organic chemicals; plastics and resins manufacturing; pulp and paper industry; rubber and miscellaneous plastic products; stone, glass, clay, and concrete products; textile manufacturing; transportation equipment; and water treatment. This term does not include mining waste or oil and gas waste.  Construction and Demolition Debris Waste means solid waste generated solely from the construction, remodeling, repair, or demolition operations on pavement and building structures.  Land Clearing and Inert Debris means solid waste created during land clearing including untreated wood, yard trash, uncontaminated soils and rock. VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 4 On or before August 1 of each year, CRSWMA will report to the Solid Waste Section the amount of waste received in tons at this facility and disposed in the landfill units. Data will be transmitted on forms prescribed by the Section. The report will include the following:  The reporting period shall be for the previous year beginning July 1 and ending on June 30.  The amount of waste received and landfilled in tons, compiled on a monthly basis by county or transfer station of origin and by specific waste type if diverted to a specific unit within the permitted facility; and  The completed report shall be forwarded to the Regional Waste Management Specialist for the facility. A copy of the completed report shall be forwarded to the County Manager of each county from which waste was received. 3.4 Prohibited Waste A sign is posted at the landfill gate (see Section 2.2 above) that reads "No hazardous or liquid waste accepted without written permission from the Division of Solid Waste Management". The landfill will not accept:  Hazardous waste as defined within 15A NCAC 13A, including hazardous waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators;  Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastes as defined in 40 CFR 761;  Liquid wastes Rule .1626(9) (i.e., any waste material that is determined to contain "free liquids" as defined by SW-846 Method 9095 (Paint Filter Liquids Test), unless the waste is household waste other than septic waste or waste oil, or leachate or gas condensate derived from the landfill; and  Barrels and drums unless they are empty and sufficiently perforated to ensure that no liquid or hazardous waste is contained therein, except fiber drums containing asbestos;  Motor vehicle oil filters;  Recyclable rigid plastic bottles;  Wooden pallets;  Discarded computer equipment and televisions (effective July 1, 2011);  Other wastes specifically banned from landfill disposal by rule or statute, such as lead acid batteries. CRSWMA will notify the Division within 24 hours of attempted disposal of any waste the landfill is not permitted to receive, including waste from outside the area the landfill is permitted to serve. The waste-screening program is described later in this Operation Plan. VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 5 3.5 Special Wastes The landfill handles the following "special wastes" as described below. Scrap Tires The scrap tires are collected in a dedicated area and stored on-site where they can be loaded directly into trailers for off-site processing. Contracts with tire processors may vary from year to year. The current processor is Central Carolina Tire Disposal, 1616 McKoy Town Road, Cameron, North Carolina 28326. Tire collection must comply with the Rule .1107, Scrap Tire Collection Site Operational Requirements. Yard Waste/Storm Debris Yard waste and storm debris are accepted at this facility, but are not disposed of in the landfill. This waste stream is processed in the composting area (Permit #25-11), where it is chipped, shredded, and placed in windrows for composting. The operations manual for the Type 1 yard waste composting permit (Permit #25-11) is attached in Appendix VI – 4. The final product is sold to the public. Animal Carcasses Animal carcasses, slaughterhouse or hatchery waste, or other animal waste received will be immediately buried and covered with a layer of soil, followed by non-putrescible municipal solid waste. Asbestos Asbestos waste received shall be managed in accordance with 40 CFR 61. The waste will be covered immediately with soil in a manner that will not cause airborne conditions and must be disposed of separate and apart from other solid wastes, either at the bottom of the working face, or in an area not contiguous with other disposal areas. Sludge Wastewater treatment sludges may be accepted for disposal if the waste is utilized as a soil conditioner and incorporated or applied onto the vegetative growth layer, but in no greater than six inches in depth, or (ii) if the facility meets all design requirements contained within Rule .1624, and approved within the permit, or has been previously approved as a permit condition. Oyster Shells Oyster shells are collected at the public convenience center and recycled. VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 6 Wood Pallets Pallets are shredded and used as road bed material as necessary on the landfill working face. CRSWMA occasionally supplies woodchips from pallets to a nearby energy plant as an alternative fuel source. White Goods A collection container for White Goods is located at the public convenience center. White goods are the responsibility of Craven County. The white goods collection container is removed and replaced by the County as needed. Chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant removal is not the responsibility of the Authority. No Chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant is removed at the facility. 3.6 Litter Control Prompt compaction of waste at the working face is the primary method used to control blowing litter. Also, temporary fences are provided to contain windblown material during operations. In addition, landfill personnel pick up windblown litter at the conclusion of each day of operation and as needed along the access road and in locations around the active disposal area. The facility purchased a trailer mounted vacuum unit in 2002 to facilitate pick-up of windblown litter. 3.7 Equipment The following list of equipment is currently in use at the landfill. Type Status Quantity Compactor Active 2 Compactor Reserve 2 Dozer Active 1 Dozer Reserve 1 Excavator Active 2 Off-road Dump Truck Active 1 Loader Active 2 Motor Grader Active 1 Tractor Active 1 Water Truck Active 1 Vacuum Active 1 Fuel Truck Active 1 As the waste stream changes during the operational life of the facility, equipment needs will be periodically reviewed and additional equipment purchased or leased as needed. New equipment will be phased in as older equipment is retired. VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 7 3.8 Air Quality Open burning of solid waste including yard waste and brush is prohibited at the landfill. Burning of brush and/or stumps would only be requested on an infrequent basis in conjunction with clearing or construction events, if at all. Open burning will not be done without prior approval from Division of Air Quality and local fire department and will be subject to subject to the requirements of Rule .1626(5)(b). The facility operates an active landfill gas collection and control system. Operations of the landfill gas collection and control system is regulated by the Division of Air Quality (DAQ). The Tuscarora Landfill operates under Air Permit #09755T01, which is included as Appendix VI-3. 3.9 Dust, Odor, Fire and Vector Control Dusty road surfaces will be sprayed with water or leachate from the existing on-site leachate storage lagoons from a water truck during windy, dry weather. The working face of the landfill may also be sprayed with leachate from the existing on-site leachate storage lagoons via a water truck during windy, dry weather. Odors and disease vectors will be controlled by promptly covering the waste at the working face, and by the use of daily cover. Daily cover is described in more detail in a Section 5.4 of this Plan. The following Operational Conditions shall be implemented to use leachate from the existing leachate storage lagoon as dust control:  Using leachate for dust control is not an approved approach to dispose of leachate required by the Rule .0162(12)(d);  The leachate to be used for dust control must come from the existing on-site leachate storage lagoons, not imported from other sources including off-site areas;  Within the waste disposal areas the leachate can only be sprayed on working face which is 100 feet away from the edge of the waste footprints and/or haul roads which are 150 feet away from the edge of the waste footprints;  The leachate may be transported by a water truck, must be sprayed by a control manner that will not cause a nuisance to the environment and airborne emission of pollutants, and must not be applied near people, animals, equipment, or vehicles;  Odors and disease vectors becoming concerns resulting from spraying leachate must be controlled by promptly covering the waste at the working face by using daily cover;  The amount of leachate to be sprayed on the working face and road surface must be properly designed and managed so that the following conditions shall not be observed: a) Muddy and rutting surface conditions. b) Runoff or sheet flow on the surfaces. c) Seepage on the side slopes.  No leachate shall be applied on less than one lift (10 feet) of wastes and be sprayed on working face and haul road when it is raining and the weather condition is not favorable to the practice such as strong windy condition; VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 8  Leachate will be sprayed on working face or haul road during daylight hours only; and  Records will be kept, including: a) Daily/weekly record of leachate generated and used for dust control. b) Weather conditions and other pertinent daily information when the leachate is used as dust suppressant. Incoming waste loads shall be observed by site operators for evidence of fire, such as flames, smoke, or the odor of burning material. Burning loads will be extinguished before dumping if possible. If there is evidence of fire in the landfill itself, the CRSWMA Director will be notified immediately. If possible, the waste will be removed or segregated from other waste in the disposal area. The landfill operator will evaluate the situation to determine whether the fire can be extinguished using fire extinguishers or equipment present at the site, or if off-site equipment will be needed. If necessary, the local fire department will be called to render assistance in extinguishing the fire. The Division of Waste Management Rule .1626(5)(d) requires that the fires that occur at the landfill will be reported verbally to the Division within 24 hours and in writing within 15 days. Fire extinguishers shall be located on each piece of equipment on site (Rule. 1626(5)(c)). Equipment operators shall be trained in the use of these extinguishers. Fire extinguishers will be used for small, localized fires. A stockpile of soil shall be maintained near the working face to be used for extinguishing small surface fires that may be too large to control with the fire extinguishers carried on the landfill equipment. Emergency equipment will be called in the case of fires too large to be extinguished with fire extinguishers or soil as described above. Water contained in the sedimentation ponds can be used in an emergency to aid local firefighters in extinguishing large fires. Owners and operators of municipal solid waste landfills must prevent and control on-site populations of disease vectors such as rodents, insects, or other animals capable of transmitting disease to humans (Rule .1626(3)). 3.10 Scavenging/Salvaging The unauthorized removal of waste and scavenging at the landfill is prohibited. The general public is not allowed to scavenge items from the working face. Landfill personnel may remove recyclable salvageable materials and process them. 4.0 RANDOM WASTE SCREENING PROGRAM 4.1 Authority CRSWMA has developed this "Random Waste Screening Program" in accordance with North Carolina's Solid Waste Management Regulations, Rule .1626(1)(f). Key elements of Rule .1626(1)(f) addressing waste screening are as follows: VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 9 No hazardous or liquid wastes as defined in 15A NCAC 13A, or materials shall be accepted at the landfill, except as specifically authorized by the facility permit or by the Division. The owner or operator shall implement an inspection program to detect and prevent disposal of hazardous and liquid wastes and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). This program shall include, at a minimum:  Random inspections of incoming loads unless the owner or operator takes other steps to ensure that incoming loads do not contain regulated hazardous or liquid wastes or PCB wastes;  Records of any inspections;  Training of facility personnel to recognize regulated hazardous waste, liquid waste, and PCB wastes; and  Development of a contingency plan to properly manage any identified hazardous and/or liquid wastes. 4.2 Random Selection Random selection of vehicles to be inspected will be conducted on a regular basis. The selection may be at least one vehicle per week, but not less than one percent by weight of the waste stream based on the previous week’s total. The personnel conducting the inspection will randomly select the load at the working face. A random truck and time will be selected (e.g., the tenth load after 10:00 a.m.) on the day of inspections. 4.3 Record Keeping Report forms for record-keeping purposes are included in Appendix VI-1. These forms are completed at each inspection. All reports and resulting correspondence are maintained at the CRSWMA Landfill office for the life of the landfill and during the post-closure period. 4.4 Training The Landfill Operations Manager and/or staff from the Department of Solid Waste who are trained to identify and manage MSW waste and hazardous and liquid waste will supervise inspections. Landfill operators, recycling attendants, and landfill clerks responsible for screening waste will be properly trained to identify hazardous and liquid waste. 4.5 Inspection Site Inspections will be conducted in a designated area near the working face of the landfill. 4.6 Action Plan The following action plan details the procedure for conducting random waste inspections. 1) Dump single load in prepared area. Detain truck and driver until inspection is completed. VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 10 2) Spread waste with compactor and/or hand tools as appropriate. Hand rake loads that include large closed containers to avoid possible rupturing of the containers. Have appropriate safety equipment present. Minimum safety equipment will include:  Rubber gloves;  Rubber boots;  Safety glasses; and  Long handled hoe. 3) Examine waste for excluded waste and/or safety hazards:  Containers labeled hazardous;  Excessive or unusual moisture;  Regulated biomedical (red bag) waste;  Powders, dusts, smoke, vapors, or chemical odors;  Sludges, pastes, slurries, or bright colors (such as dyes); and  Unauthorized out-of-area waste. 4) Take appropriate action(s) as follows:  Incorporate acceptable waste into working face.  Hold suspect waste for identification by on-site personnel and, if necessary, confirmation by others such as a contract laboratory, hazardous waste management firm, or state and/or federal regulator.  Interview driver and hauler to identify the source of suspect waste in the load.  Hold rejected hazardous or liquid waste for generator.  Arrange for hazardous or liquid waste collection by licensed collector. 5) Document Actions:  Record Inspection.  Retain Reports.  Report hazardous, liquid, or PCB wastes to Solid Waste Section – NC DEQ. 5.0 SUBCELL PROGRESSION AND WASTE PLACEMENT 5.1 Subcell Progression The method of filling shall be the area method in accordance with the filling sequence shown on Drawing OP-3. VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 11 Uncontaminated stormwater can be collected and removed along the southern portion of the Phase 4 which will be separated from the nothern portion by a berm. Stormwater will be pumped from the collection area into the stormwater channels that conveys flow into a sediment basin. 5.2 Waste Placement and Compaction The waste will be tipped in the active subcell as closely as possible to the working face, then pushed to the desired area. The daily working face will be maintained so as to provide space for several trucks to unload at the same time. The width of the working face will vary depending on the rate of waste acceptance on a given day, weather conditions and other factors, but will be maintained as small as practicable. The waste will be compacted as described below with the compactor (see equipment list earlier in this report). To minimize the chance of damage to the liner in any new subcell, the initial lift of waste will be at least 5 feet thick, and will consist of mostly residential, non-bulky waste. Compaction will be minimal because later lifts will surcharge the initial lift so that there is no net loss of density. Typical compaction procedures on lifts above the initial one will involve placement of waste in thin layers (1-2 feet thick) as flat as is practical. The compactor will roll across and slightly past the waste (to prevent wind-blown material leaving from the edge of the lift) a minimum of three times. Waste density calculation will be reviewed periodically, and operational procedures may be revised to improve the efficiency of the site. 5.3 Filling Operations Each lift of waste shall be approximately 13 feet thick, which will be covered weekly with six- inch layer of soil. The waste to soil volume ratio is approximately 26:1. Daily cover is discussed below. 5.4 Daily Cover At the end of each day's operation, compacted waste in the subcell shall be covered with either a minimum six inches of soil, or an approved alternative daily cover (ADC) as required in Rule .1626(2)(b). When soil is used, at least two passes of heavy equipment will be made over the area to provide adequate soil compaction. Waste may be covered more frequently than once per day if necessary to control fires, odors, or blowing litter. As an alternate daily cover to soil, an Enviro™ Cover System (or equivalent) manufactured by EPI Environmental Technologies, Inc. (EPI) may be used to cover waste for up to one week. At least once per week, soil will be used as daily cover as prescribed in the facility’s permit to operate. Following a trial period, CRSWMA was granted permission by the Solid Waste Section to use a degradable plastic film as an approved alternate daily cover in October 2000. The 2-mil film will be deployed by 16 foot wide rolls from an applicator attached to the dozer blade. The applicator, manufactured by In-Line Plastics, Inc. (the predecessor to EPI), also includes a hopper from which sand is dropped as ballast to hold the film in-place. In periods of high wind, more sand will be used as ballast, and in the occurrence of storm events, soil cover is VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 12 used. The film is deployed down the slope of the working face, with a 2 foot overlap on each side. The following conditions apply to the use of alternate daily cover:  The alternative daily cover, an Enviro™ Cover System (or equivalent), in lieu of a 6-inch soil material must be used to cover wastes at the end of each day’s operation for up to 5 consecutive days. In the end of the fifth day, a 6-inch soil material must be used as daily cover; and  The 6-inch soil material shall be used as daily cover material in the occurrence of inclement weather conditions (including strong wind and storm events). 5.5 Intermediate Cover In areas where another lift of waste will not be placed for at least 12 months, an additional 6 inches of soil shall be placed over the daily cover for a total of 12 inches of intermediate cover (Rule .1626(2)(c)). Provisions for a vegetative ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion in accordance with Rule .1626(7)(c) shall be carried out within 30 working days or 120 calendar days following completion of each phase of development. 6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMS 6.1 Water Quality The water quality-monitoring program for groundwater and surface water is described in the Design Hydrogeological Report in Volume 3 of Phase 3 expansion application. 6.2 Landfill Gas Active Landfill Gas Collection and Control Operations of the active landfill gas system are regulated by the Rule .1626 (4). The Tuscarora Landfill Operates the gas system under Air Quality Permit No. 09755T01 which is provided as Appendix VI-3 of the Operations Plan. Monitoring for Explosion Hazards To protect public health and safety in the vicinity of the landfill, landfill gas produced by the decomposition of refuse will be controlled and monitored during the operational, closure, and post- closure periods. The following regulatory levels must be maintained:  The concentration of methane gas generated is not to exceed 25 percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane in on-site structures (excluding gas control or recovery system components); and VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 13  The concentration of methane gas is not to exceed the LEL for methane at the facility property boundary. Gas monitoring will be conducted during the active life of the landfill and throughout the closure and post-closure periods to ensure compliance with the regulatory limits. At a minimum, quarterly monitoring of explosive gases will be conducted in on-site structures. Currently these structures include the scalehouse, a maintenance building, an office, and storage shed. If additional structures are built, the monitoring program will be expanded to include the new structures. The Tuscarora Landfill does not have the potential for subsurface methane migration since the base grades of the landfill are elevated above the existing ground in order to achieve the required separation from groundwater. Therefore, the waste and the generation of landfill gas is occurring above-ground and any lateral migration from the landfill would release the gas to the atmosphere within the landfill property boundary. Additionally, the water table, which is near ground surface, and the ditches around the landfill hold water year around, serve as a barrier to subsurface migration. However, quarterly landfill gas monitoring will include probes GP-6, GP 7 and GP-8 for continued monitoring of the IRL and Phase 1 of the Tuscarora Landfill for potential subsurface migration. Landfill gas monitoring probes GP-2, GP-3, GP-4 and GP-5 will no longer be monitored for landfill gas migration. GP-8 has replaced GP-2 and GP-3 as a more acceptable location for monitoring at the property boundary southwest of the IRL. GP-4 and GP 5 are located to the south of the IRL, centrally located away from the property boundary, and no longer satisfy the requirements of monitoring for landfill gas migration toward the property boundary. Finally, fifteen bar-hole probes (hand-driven hole approximately 0.5-inch by 2.5 to 4- feet deep) surrounding the parameter of Phases 2, 3 and 4 are monitored quarterly. 6.2.1 Monitoring Procedure Record Keeping: The operator will record the date, time, location, sampling personnel, atmospheric temperature, reported barometric pressure, and general weather conditions at the time of sampling, in addition to the concentration of combustible gases. The records will be maintained in the landfill operating record. On-site Structures: Gas monitoring in on-site structures will attempt to identify the "worst case" concentrations. Monitoring will be conducted at the earliest possible time after the structure has been unused (e.g., a morning after a weekend or holiday). The monitoring locations will be in corners along floors and ceilings, at cracks in the floor, and at other areas likely to accumulate gas. Gas monitoring will also be conducted in any confined space requiring the entry of personnel for maintenance or inspection. The monitoring will take place prior to entry by personnel in accordance with OSHA regulations. Equipment: A portable combustible gas monitor, measuring the concentration of combustible gases in units of percent of lower explosive limit, shall be used to conduct gas monitoring. Lower explosive limit (LEL) means the lowest percent by volume of a mixture of combustible gas in air that will propagate a flame at 25 degrees Celsius and atmospheric pressure. The gas VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 14 monitor shall be calibrated to methane using the manufacturer's calibration kit and procedure before the monitoring activities begin. 6.2.2 Response to Detected Combustible Gases The regulatory (Rule .1626(4)) action levels for combustible gas monitoring in gas detection probes are 100% LEL at the facility boundary and 25% LEL in on-site structures. Readings exceeding the regulatory action levels shall be reported immediately. The Authority will notify the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ), formerly known as North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Solid Waste Section in writing and will take immediate steps to ensure safety and protection of human health. At a minimum, the following actions will be taken if the methane concentration exceeds 25% in any structure:  Put out all smoking materials and turn off all ignition sources;  Evacuate all personnel;  Vent the structure;  Do not allow personnel to reenter the building except to perform gas monitoring until the results of additional monitoring indicate that methane concentrations are sustained or stabilized below 25% LEL;  Begin continuous monitoring within the structure; and  Undertake an assessment to determine the origin and pathways of the gas migration. Within seven days of detection (Rule .1626(4)(c)(ii)), the monitoring results will be placed in the Operating Record and the Authority will indicate actions taken and actions proposed to resolve the problem. Within 60 days of detection (iii), the Authority will develop and implement a landfill gas remediation plan for the combustible gas releases and notify the Division that the plan has been implemented. The plan will describe the nature and extent of the problem and the proposed remedy. The Operator will also use monitoring action levels of 15% LEL in structures. If the monitoring action level is exceeded in structures, options will be evaluated to permanently reduce the current levels and to prevent a further increase in gas levels in the structures. 7. EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL REQUIREMENTS Erosion and sediment control features have been designed in accordance with all applicable requirements, as will all future structures. As required, the facility will be operated in a manner which will not cause a discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States, including wetlands, that violates any requirements of the Clean Water Act, including, but not limited to, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, pursuant to Section 402. The facility will not cause the discharge of a nonpoint source of pollution to waters of the United States, including wetlands, that violates any requirement of an area-wide or State- VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 15 wide water quality management plan that has been approved under Section 208 or 319 of the Clean Water Act, as amended. Surface water shall be diverted from the operational area and shall not be impounded over or in waste. Drainage structures and embankment slopes are regularly inspected for erosion, and maintained as needed. The vegetation on the slopes is mowed at least once a year. These slopes are maintained with reseeding, fertilizer, and other means, as necessary, to promote a healthy stand of vegetation. 8. RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENTS The following records will be maintained in the Operating Record at the landfill office and made available to the Division upon request:  The operating permit and pertinent correspondence;  Operation Plan;  Emergency Response Plan;  Inspection records, waste determination records, and training procedures for waste screening programs;  Amounts by weight of solid waste received at the facility, including the source of generation;  Gas monitoring plan, monitoring results and any remediation plans developed in accordance with Division requirements if required as a response to elevated gas concentrations;  Water Quality Monitoring Plan and any demonstration, certification, finding, monitoring, testing, or analytical data required by the water quality monitoring program at the site;  Required cost estimates and financial assurance documentation;  Closure and Post-Closure Plans;  Leachate generation and disposal quantities (including the amount used as dust suppressant); and  Safety training records. 9.0 LEACHATE MANAGEMENT PLAN 9.1 Maintenance of the Leachate Collection System The operator will conduct weekly visual inspections of the leachate collection and storage system and perform maintenance as required. Leachate levels in the storage lagoons will be monitored at least weekly and after storm events to assess the need for leachate removal and hauling. Cleanouts are provided to allow access to the leachate collection system. Water under pressure has been and will continue to be introduced through these cleanouts periodically as preventive maintenance of the piping system. Mechanical equipment or chemical cleaning agents may also be used to mitigate clogging. Maintenance needs will be re-evaluated if there is an unexpected decrease or increase in leachate production rates. VI - Operations Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA - Tuscarora Landfill Permit Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. December 2015 Rev. April, 2016 16 9.2 Leachate Generation Records CRSWMA maintains records of leachate hauled from the leachate pond at the landfill to the wastewater treatment plant. Records will be maintained at the landfill throughout the operating life and during the post-closure care period. In addition to leachate generation quantities, the Landfill maintains analytical data from leachate sampling events. 9.3 Leachate Monitoring Leachate sampling point is a manhole on the east side of Phase 1, located near the northwest corner of the closed Craven County landfill. The sampling location is shown on Drawing OP-01. The chemical composition of untreated leachate generated will be analyzed, at a minimum, semi- annually, concurrent with water quality sampling. The leachate will be analyzed for the Detection Monitoring constituents (EPA Appendix I list from Subtitle D) as well as pH, specific conductance, BOD, COD, phosphate, nitrate and sulfate. Test results will be submitted to the Solid Waste Section. 9.4 Leachate Disposal Leachate will continue to be collected on site and stored in the existing on-site leachate storage lagoons. At this time, the lagoons’ leachate levels are lowered periodically for transport by tanker truck to the City of New Bern Wastewater Treatment Facility. An agreement to pump leachate through a sewer pipe to the City of New Bern Wastewater Treatment Facility will be in effect by summer 2016. As the sewer line is completed, record drawings will be provided to the Solid Waste Section as they come available at the completion of the project. This newest agreement was put in place for the force-main project. Under this agreement, the lagoons’ leachate levels will be controlled by pumping it through the constructed sewer pipe to the City of New Bern Wastewater Treatment Facility. A copy of the new leachate agreement is provided in Appendix VI-2 of the Operations Plan. Appendix VI-2 also includes copies of the current and past approval documentation from the receiving plant. 9.5 Contingency Plan for Extreme Conditions If required, due to extreme conditions, additional hauling capacity will be obtained from subcontract haulers or by the rental of additional tanker trucks. If for some reason the receiving facility no longer accepts the leachate, it will be pre-treated to facilitate acceptance, or hauled to another POTW or commercial pretreatment facility. 10.0 CONTINGENCY PLAN This section details the Contingency Plan for the CRSWMA Landfill. This plan has been developed to protect human health and the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste to the air, soil, or surface water.

If conditions warrant, the following actions will be taken: 1) The PEC gives the evacuation alarm; 2) All personnel (visitors, contractors, and employees) will be assembled at the main gate; 3) Only qualified personnel may reenter the affected area after approval by the emergency coordinator; 4) The PEC will make a tally of all facility employees, visitors, and contractors; 5) The PEC or a designated representative will notify County Emergency Preparedness Agency; and 6) Reentry to the affected area will be allowed only after the clear signal is given by the PEC. Report Requirements The PEC will notify the Division immediately in the event of a fire or other emergency if that emergency has potential off-site effects. Within two weeks of any emergency involving a potential off-site impact, the PEC shall submit to the Division a written report describing the cause(s) of the emergency, actions taken, results of actions taken, and an analysis of the success or failure of those actions. A copy of the report shall be placed in the landfill operating record. 10.4 Severe Weather Conditions Ice Storms An ice storm can make access to the landfill dangerous, prevent movement or placement of periodic cover, and thus, may require closure of the landfill until the ice is removed or melted. Heavy Rains Exposed soil surfaces can create a muddy situation in some portions of the landfill 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. Intense rains can affect newly constructed drainage structures such as swales, diversions, cover soils, and vegetation. After such a rain event, inspection by landfill personnel will be initiated and corrective measures taken to repair any damage found before the next rainfall.

April, 2016 21 Electrical Storms The open area of a landfill is susceptible to the hazards of an electrical storm. If necessary, landfilling activities will be temporarily suspended during such an event. To guarantee the safety of all field personnel, refuge will be taken in the on-site buildings or in rubber-tired vehicles. Windy Conditions The proposed operational sequence minimizes the occurrence of unsheltered operations relative to prevailing winds. If this is not adequate during a particularly windy period, work will be temporarily shifted to a more sheltered area. When this is done, the previously exposed face will be immediately covered with daily cover. Violent Storms In the event of hurricane, tornado, or severe winter storm warning issued by the National Weather Service, landfill operations may be temporarily suspended until the warning is lifted. Daily cover will be placed on exposed waste and buildings and equipment will be properly secured.

CRSWMA, Permit No. 25-11 April 2016 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose The purpose of the following document is to provide the information necessary for the operations of Permit Number 25-11, Yard Waste Composting Facility. The facility is currently operated by the Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority (CRSWMA). The facility was last permitted on June 2010 and must be re-permitted every 5 years. The permit number was changed in 2000 from its original number, No. 25-04, to allow the facility to be regulated separately from the landfill. The facility is currently permitted compost yard waste (Type 1). 1.2 Location The facility is located within the property boundaries of the CRSWMA’s Tuscarora site, immediately adjacent to the now closed Craven County Landfill to the east and to the Tuscarora Long-Term Regional Landfill to the north. The facility is accessed off of Route 1005, approximately 2 miles from Tuscarora. A Location Map is included in Appendix 1. 1.3 Contact Person For actions relative to this permit, the following individual is responsible: Title: Executive Director Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority Address for notification: PO Box 128 or 7400 Old Hwy. 70W Cove City, NC 28523 New Bern, NC 28560 Phone: (252) 633-1564 Fax: (252) 633-6515 For contacts with the state for permit changes the following individual should be contacted: Title: Compost & Land Application Branch Supervisor Agency: NC DEQ - Division of Waste Management Composting & Land Application Branch Mailing Address: 1646 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-1646 Physical Address: 217 West Jones Street, Raleigh NC 27603 Phone: (919) 919 -707-8200 1.4 Personnel The facility will be staffed by a compost facility supervisor and one heavy equipment operators. The facility supervisor will direct traffic, maintain records, and oversee operations. The heavy equipment operators will operate all equipment and maintain good housekeeping practices. A scale clerk assists both the landfill and composting operations by maintaining the weight and billing records. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Composting Facility Operation Manual 2 Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA, Permit No. 25-11 April 2016 1.5 Hours of Operation The compost facility will operate on the same schedule as the landfill. It will be open Monday - Friday from 7:30AM - 4:30PM and Saturday 7:30AM - 2:00PM. 2.0 TYPE 1 – YARD WASTE COMPOSTING FACILITY 2.1 Waste Quantities CRSWMA receives yard waste from the following localities: Craven County, Carteret County, and Pamlico County and this waste consists of brush, leaves, and other land clearing debris up to 24" in diameter, small stumps are accepted. Appendix 2 summarizes waste data available for the facility from July 2005 through October 2015. Based on the data reported, the facility receives on average 652 tons of brush per month with the lowest tonnage (179 tons) received in April 2012 and the highest tonnage (9,306 tons) received in October 2011. This spike in tonnage in 2011 was the result of receiving hurricane Irene debris from Craven County. Winter months tend to be somewhat lower in tonnage as would be expected. Accurate records of incoming waste should be kept at the scale house. These records should differentiate between loads of brush (including all land clearing debris), clean wood and loads of leaves or grass clippings. 2.2 Design Consideration 2.2.1 Design Capacities and Product Data For evaluating the facility's design, 652 tons per month or 7,824 tons per year were used. This material is stockpiled until sufficient material is available to produce a windrow. The material is ground and passed through a 5/8" screen prior to composting. Material that is greater than 5/8" becomes woodchips and mulch; material that is smaller than 5/8" is windrowed for compost. The Appendix 2 summarizes all available tonnage data for the facility. Based on this data, approximately 99% of the yard waste material is turned into compost and mulch products, and a negligible amount is sold for wood chips. The following table summarizes the current utilization at the facility for the composting operation. As a factor of safety, it was assumed that the density of the product remains the same as the incoming waste stream. Total waste stream (by weight) 7,824 tons (annual) Total waste stream for composting (100%) 7,824 tons Density (assumed average) 500 lb/cy Composting waste stream (by volume) 31,296 cubic yards Cross-section windrow 2' (top) x 18'(base) x 7'(ht) 70 square feet Total length windrow utilized (maximum) 5,000 feet Windrow: At half in spring and half in fall 2,500 feet ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Composting Facility Operation Manual 3 Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA, Permit No. 25-11 April 2016 At 225' length 10 windrows used With 18' base and 10' aisle, total acreage utilized 1.45 acres The facility was originally designed with a working area for the Type 1 facility of 2.6 acres as illustrated in the Site Plan included in Appendix 3. Sufficient room is available for the operations. Based on the assumed values above, if the Receiving, Grinding, & Screening Area were relocated it would enable CRSMWA to reach their maximum design capacity for the composting facility. Currently over half of the work space is utilized. Doubling the current acreage used, 1.45 acres, would utilize the designed working area of 2.9 acres. By doing so, the facility can receive a total waste stream (weight) of 12,494 tons annually, a total waste stream for composting (100%) and use 20 windrows at the current size of each. Yard waste generation is cyclical with the seasons; however the data collected to date indicates that the least amount of material provided in one month was 179 tons. Sufficient materials will be available to continue the process throughout the year. Materials will be stockpiled as necessary. High nitrogen content wastes such as grass will not be stockpiled and will be incorporated into the process within 48 hours of receipt or as soon as possible. The facility does not use any bulking agent and compost is not recycled through the process. If the County determines that either of these processes is beneficial, DEQ will be notified prior to implementation. Appendix 6 contains a table summarizing product quality. The facility currently has the North Carolina Division of Agriculture analyze the compost on a periodic basis for various metals, nutrients, pH, soluble salts, C:N ratio and % solids. 2.2.2 Site Plan A site plan at 1" = 40' is provided in Appendix 3. A complete set of the Record Drawings for the facility as original designed and constructed is attached to this narrative. The attached drawing was developed from the Record Drawing provided to CRSMWA by Joyce Engineering, Inc. (JEI). The original designer of the facility was Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. 2.2.3 Process Flow Diagram Appendix 4 contains the updated process flow diagram, which illustrates the complete operation including the type and size of equipment, feedstock flow streams, recommended operational parameters, monitoring requirements, and final product requirements. The facility records all data on the incoming and outgoing materials in tonnage. To provide the volumetric information, as required by DEQ, the operator should determine a bulk density for brush, leaves, grass, and final product periodically. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Composting Facility Operation Manual 4 Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA, Permit No. 25-11 April 2016 2.3 Operations 2.3.1 General Description The Type 1 facility has been in operation since 1997. The following discussion on operations was taken from the original permit with additional detail added as necessary. Incoming yard waste is weighed and directed to the operational area. The yard waste is stockpiled until a sufficient quantity is accumulated to form a windrow. On average approximately 1 windrow could be formed per month. It should be noted that this is a theoretical maximum as during the operations to date no more than 10 windrows have ever been curing at one time. The material is run through a Maxi Grinder which can process materials up to 24" or larger in diameter at a rate of 60 tons/hour. Grinding creates a product with a particle size of approximately 5/8" for composting after screening. Once ground, the material is formed into windrows using a front end loader. The windrows are spaced approximately 10 feet apart and each has a north/south orientation and the following geometry: 7 - 7 1/2 feet high x 18 feet wide at base x 2 feet wide at top. Once the windrow is formed, it will be turned several times using a Scarab 18 windrow turner to mix the materials. The Scarab turner is capable of handling 2,000 tons per hour and is more than adequate for the facility. If necessary, water will be added as the windrow is constructed and then periodically during the stabilization process. CRSWMA uses an irrigation system from the adjacent sediment basins located north of the facility. The pile will be sprayed as it is turned by the windrow turner on an as needed basis. For optimum composting the moisture should be maintained between 45% and 60%. Dryer than 45% and the microbial action is slowed; higher than 60% and the material becomes difficult to handle and difficult to aerate. Operation records indicate a moisture range of 50% - 65%. A copy of the recommended moisture log is contained in Appendix 5. The temperatures are taken at in each quarter of the windrow (4 separate places) or a minimum of each third (3 separate places). It is suggested that the temperature be controlled by turning (aerating) to assure that the compostable material is maintained at an optimum range for decomposition (between 104oF and 113oF) and then allowed to elevate to 131oF where it must be maintained for a period of 3 consecutive days as required by Rule .1406(10). When the temperature within the windrow falls below 120 – 130oF during the final stages of composting, the windrow is turned. Windrow construction and turning frequency will be sufficient to maintain aerobic conditions to produce a compost product in the desired time frame. Separate records are kept for each windrow. Once a windrow is constructed, it is assigned an I.D. Number and folder which are used over the lifespan of the windrow. Every time windrow data is taken, it is documented and logged in the folder. A log will be kept of all temperature readings, which includes the location of the probes. A copy of the temperature log is contained in Appendix 5. Tables have been provided in Appendix 6, to assist in the operations. These tables were developed by the Compost Council to assist operators with various calculations and parameter adjustments. The Compost Council's operation manual is incorporated by reference into this operations manual. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Composting Facility Operation Manual 5 Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA, Permit No. 25-11 April 2016 A nitrogen source is sometimes added to the yard waste if needed to promote the compost process. CRSWMA uses calcium nitrate when necessary. The calcium nitrate is spread by hand and mechanically mixed. To date, operations have shown that a 225 foot windrow requires approximately 25 fifty pound bags. The process from grinding though stabilization was expected to take 24 weeks, however, existing operations compost in less than 10 weeks. The final time frame is a function of material density, material type, moisture and operational controls. Once the windrow begins to cool indicating stabilization, CRSMWA screens the material and the larger particles are reused in the process or used as woodchips or mulch. By keeping the coarser materials in the compost, it enables more oxygen to get into the windrows and produces more compost in the finished product. The compost is now stockpiled. Depending on the end use requirements, the compost may be screened again prior to stockpiling if a finer screen is available. The larger particles would be either reused in the process or used as a coarser product. If the material is free of sharp particles, has no offensive odor, and has minimal pathogens, it may be used in an unrestricted way. Prior to marketing the material to the public, the following testing is recommended by the Compost Council but not required by the State: Maximum particle size pH C:N ratio Total Nitrogen Soluble salts Metals as suggested by the Department of Agriculture Once the compost meets the regulatory requirements for distribution to the public, it can be released for use. As the public obtains the material they must be given the information indicated in Section 2.3.9 (c). 2.3.2 Waste Acceptance Rule .1406 (6) The Type 1 compost facility will accept only grass, leaves, brush, yard waste, and land clearing debris. No municipal solid waste (MSW), hazardous waste, asbestos containing waste or medical waste shall be accepted at the facility. CRSWMA accepts yard waste in a non- bagged state or in approved biodegradable bags. Deliveries are monitored at all sites. CRSWMA anticipates little contamination of the material. 2.3.3 Safety Requirements Rule .1406 (7) Open burning of solid waste is prohibited. All equipment will be provided with fire extinguishers. The windrow turner will have a fire suppression system. Periodic safety meetings will be held to review safety issues at the site. Personal protective equipment should include steel toe boots, eye and ear protection and dust masks when appropriate. Site personnel will be trained in facility specific safety issues as well as general safety issues. The local fire department would be called should a major fire break out. A minimum of 25 foot distance is required between composting windrows and other structures to allow adequate access of firefighting equipment in accordance with Rule .1404 (8). ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Composting Facility Operation Manual 6 Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA, Permit No. 25-11 April 2016 2.3.4 Nuisance Control Rule .1405(10)(B) Sources of noise will be on-site traffic and the facility equipment such as the front-end loader, Maxi grinder, trommel screen, and windrow turner. Noise can be controlled by appropriately operating and maintaining equipment. In addition, the facility is located next to a landfill operation and is buffered from other properties by distance and trees. Employees should wear hearing protection. Vectors are animals, insects or other organisms that carry pathogens from one host to another like rats, flies, birds and mosquitoes. Vectors will be minimized by good housekeeping practices. The receiving area will be kept clean, water will not be allowed to accumulate and the drainage areas will be cleaned periodically. Material will be stored based on a "first in/first out" basis to prevent long term storage. Turning the windrows will also control vector flies and their larvae. If necessary, a commercial pest control service will be employed. Dust will be controlled by good housekeeping practices and by dampening loads on the tipping floor as necessary. Moisture is necessary to enhance the composting process and will be monitored. Employees should wear dust masks. Odors will be minimized by maintaining adequate aeration through turning the windrows. 2.3.5 Monitoring Requirements Rule .1406 (9) Once the windrow is constructed, the pH, temperature and moisture content should be measured. It is also suggested that the C:N ratio be determined to evaluate the need for the addition of a nitrogen source. During the composting process pH, O2 (if equipment available), moisture, and temperature will be monitored periodically. pH should be kept in the range of 5.5 - 8.5. Outside of this range, the biological process is impeded. Moisture should be kept in the range of 45% - 60%. Water should be added as required to stay within this range. Moisture, pH, and O2 should be monitored at a minimum weekly. Temperature will be monitored daily. To monitor temperature, the probe should be inserted 12"- 24" every 50' along the windrow at a 45° - 90° angle. At the end of the process and prior to marketing the materials to the public, it is recommended that the following tests be run:  pH;  C:N;  Total Nitrogen;  Metals (as suggested by the Department of Agriculture);  Soluble Salts; and  Moisture. These tests are recommended by the Compost Council but not required by the State. CRSWMA also utilizes the “Hand Test” Method. The test is performed by taking a hand-full of compost material representative of the windrow and squeezing it. After you open your hand, if ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Composting Facility Operation Manual 7 Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA, Permit No. 25-11 April 2016 the material quickly breaks up, then the windrow is too dry. If you can squeeze the material and water is extracted, then the material is too wet. If squeezed and the material remains cohesive, then it is good; otherwise, the proper measures should be taken. To date the NC Department of Agriculture has been running most of these tests for CRSWMA. 2.3.6 Temperature Parameters Rule .1406 (10) For Type I facilities, the compost process must be maintained at or above 55°C (131°F) for 3 consecutive days and aerated to maintain elevated temperatures. Temperature will be monitored at least twice a week. 2.3.7 Addition of Nitrogen Bearing Materials Rule .1406 (13) Nitrogen compounds may be added as necessary to adjust the nutrient balance for optimum product. Only approved waste materials (i.e. grass clippings, leaves) or chemical compounds may be added. Nitrogen compounds increase odors and if using grass clippings, the material should be incorporated into the process immediately upon receipt. To determine if nitrogen is necessary, the carbon to nitrogen ratio should be calculated. For proper composting, this ratio should be greater than 25:1, but less than 40:1 at the start of composting. Incoming materials have the following estimated ratios: Grass clippings 12 - 15:1 Dry leaves 40:1 Paper and wood 200:1 Sawdust 200 - 500:1 Thus, adjustment may be necessary after grinding, screening and blending the feed stock materials. 2.3.8 Contingency Plans Rule .1405 (c) (1) A. Equipment: The four major pieces of equipment that are required for operations includes the grinder, windrow turner, trommel screen, and the front-end loader. These shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations. If the grinder or screen breaks down, waste shall be stockpiled until the grinder is repaired. If there is a need for a grinder, one can be rented. If the windrow turner breaks down, the windrows can be turned with the front-end loader. If the front-end loader breaks down, one will be rented from a local contractor. B. Air Pollution: Dust and odor are the two primary air pollutants. Dust will be controlled through proper moisture control and odor will be controlled through proper aeration. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Composting Facility Operation Manual 8 Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA, Permit No. 25-11 April 2016 C. Nonconforming Waste: Nonconforming waste shall be taken to the landfill assuming no hazardous materials or asbestos-bearing materials are present. D. Spills: Spills are not expected. Potential spills would include maintenance fluids for equipment, and fuel. Appropriate precautions will be taken to assure that equipment is serviced correctly to minimize spills or discharges. Should oil or gas spill onto the area, it shall be absorbed immediately and the absorbent disposed of appropriately. Major equipment maintenance and repairs are handled in the on-site maintenance garage. Off-spec product, incomplete compost, or compost which might spill off the curing pad will be collected and returned to the appropriate location. E. Fires, noise, vectors, odors are discussed under Section 2.3.4. Unusual traffic conditions shall be controlled by on-site personnel and the Craven County Sheriff’s Department if necessary. F. Adverse weather conditions: The primary adverse weather conditions facing the CRSWMA facility include wind and rain. During periods of heavy wind, grinding and windrow turning will not be conducted and the top of the windrow will be kept moist to prevent blowing material. During periods of heavy rain, compost grinding and screening operations are not carried out in the rain. The operator monitors the site frequently to assure that stormwater controls are adequate and maintains the site as possible. During mild rainfalls, the operator may want to turn the windrow to incorporate moisture into the materials. 2.3.9 Classification/Distribution of MSW Compost Products Rule .1407 A. Requirements For unrestricted use, the finished Type I compost must meet the following criteria:  Minimal pathogenic organisms  Free from offensive odors  Containing no sharp particles If these criteria are met then the finished compost material will be marketed to local landscape firms and to residents of CRSWMA's member counties. CRSWMA transports some of the finished product to the transfer stations in Carteret and Pamlico Counties where it is convenient for residents and businesses located there to access. B. Sampling Prior to marketing the material to the public, a composite sample of the material should be obtained and the tested for the parameters outlined under Section 2.3.5. It is recommended ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Composting Facility Operation Manual 9 Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA, Permit No. 25-11 April 2016 that a copy of the test results and recommendations from the Department of Agriculture, Agronomic Division be provided to each individual using the material. A composite sample is obtained by taking 3 evenly distributed samples along the windrow and compositing them into an airtight container or bag. Each sample should be approximately 1-2 cups each and taken from a hole dug into the windrow starting approximately 4' up and angling at 45° into the pile. More samples may be warranted per windrow if there is evidence of an inconsistent product (based on temperature or pH readings.) A sketch indicating the location of each sample and a description of the sampling technique should be kept on each composite. Accurate record keeping is critical. Label each composite sample with the following information:  Date sampled  Time sampled  Windrow identification  Source of Sample  Name of person taking sample  Sample Preservation Technique  Temperature of Sample  pH of Sample All information should be recorded in a sample logbook along with the following:  Sample preparation  Shipment record  Tests to be conducted  Laboratory to conduct tests C. Labeling When the Type 1 compost material is to be marketed to the public, sufficient information should be provided to the public to:  Inform users of the benefits of using compost  Advise users on suggested uses of product  Inform users of cautions in using product  Inform users of composition of the material including nutrients and contaminants  Inform users of source of feedstock. Appendix 7 includes a copy of the information provided to the end users by the CRSWMA. It is also recommended that a copy of the test results (if available) be provided to the end user. 2.4 Recordkeeping 2.4.1 Record Keeping Requirements ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Composting Facility Operation Manual 10 Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA, Permit No. 25-11 April 2016 Separate records will be maintained for each section of the facility as described below. Records shall be made and maintained for a minimum of five (5) years.

CRSWMA – Tuscarora Landfill PTO Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. April 2016 1 1.0 CLOSURE ACTIVITIES Pursuant to the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules (15A NCAC 13B .1617), this Closure and Post-Closure Plan is submitted as part of the Permit to Operate (PTO) renewal the Tuscarora Landfill. Within this Closure and Post-Closure Plan, references are made to information and drawings found in the Facility, Operations, and Engineering Plans to reduce redundancy in this report. Grading plans, cap sections, and other aspects related to closure, including phased development, stormwater management, and erosion and sediment control, are discussed in the Engineering and Operation Plans of this report, and are illustrated on the drawings. The Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) Plan provided in this application describes methods and procedures to be used in monitoring construction of the closure cap. Detailed drawings, specifications, and other documents will be prepared prior to closure for bidding and construction purposes. The facility will be closed in accordance with the requirements of EPA's Subtitle D regulations (40 CFR 258.60) and Rule .1627 of the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules (15A NCAC 13 B). Given the proposed development plan for the facility, the waste disposal areas will be capped and closed in phases as described in the following paragraphs. 1.1 Closure of Disposal Units 1.1.1 Cap Design Proposed final/intermediate grading contours for the facility are provided on Drawing No. FP-04 of the Facility Plan. Final contours have been designed with post-settlement surface slopes of at least five percent on top of the cell. Cross-sectional details of the proposed closure cap design, are provided on Drawing No. EP-10. The following components (bottom to top) are proposed as shown on the details: a. Intermediate Cover and Leveling Course - Local soil will be placed over the daily cover soil to provide at least 12 inches of intermediate cover and a uniform base for construction of the cap. b. Gas Migration Layer – A geonet composite will be installed between the intermediate cover and the overlying infiltration layer. The geonet composite will provide a pathway for accumulated gas to move laterally to the vents. c. Composite Cap: GCL Component - The infiltration layer is proposed to consist of a geosynthetic clay liner. This layer will be constructed over the geonet composite that will serve as the gas migration layer. Installation and testing requirements for the cap are provided in the Specifications (Appendix IV-6) and the CQA Plan. d. Composite Cap: Geomembrane Component - The geomembrane component of the infiltration layer will consist of a textured 40 mil flexible geomembrane. The VII – Closure and Post Closure Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA – Tuscarora Landfill PTO Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. April 2016 2 membrane will be in direct contact with the underlying layer. The testing program and quality assurance requirements for the geomembrane are described in the CQA Plan. e. Drainage Layer - A drainage layer consisting of a geonet and geotextile composite will be placed over the geomembrane to promote drainage. f. Protective Layer - A layer consisting of at least 18 inches of local soil will be placed above the drainage layer to provide a protective cover for the underlying cap components. g. Vegetative Layer - A layer of topsoil material or organically amended local soil will be placed above the protective layer. This soil layer will be at least 6 inches in thickness. The material will be lightly compacted so that a good stand of vegetation can be established. Soil tests will be conducted prior to seeding to determine if soil additives are needed to establish and maintain the vegetation. 1.1.2 Area to Be Capped The IRL (20.2 acres), Phase 1 (20.5 acres) and west slope of Phase 2 (7.3 acres) have been capped. Phase 2 permitted waste footprint of 17.2 acres has approximately 9.9 acres subject to closure. All of Phase 3 permitted waste footprint of 19.7 acres remains to be closed. Therefore, the largest area of the landfill subject for closure during the permit cycle should be 29.6 acres. A cost estimate for closure of this area is provided as Appendix VII-2. 1.1.3 Cap Settlement and Stability Non-uniform settlement can be expected over the entire area that will receive a closure cap. The primary mechanism of settlement is waste consolidation due to decomposition of the landfilled material. According to Daniel, et al, long-term settlement is typically 5 to 15 percent over 20 to 30 years; however, settlement of about 5 percent can be expected in the first few months following waste placement. A significant amount of waste consolidation will likely have occurred by the time each portion of the landfill is closed. The stability of the proposed cap design under static conditions has been evaluated and is included in the Engineering Plan. The proposed design was found to be stable at a slope of 3H:1V. After capped portions are completed, monthly inspections of the final cover will be conducted to look for areas of the cap that might have experienced displacement. Should these inspections indicate problem areas, (ponding, exposure of the geomembrane, deep cracks, etc.), repairs will be initiated as soon as practical. VII – Closure and Post Closure Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA – Tuscarora Landfill PTO Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. April 2016 3 1.1.4 Drainage and Erosion A combination of drainage ditches, diversion berms, vegetative cover, and sediment traps and basins will control drainage and erosion. Construction and design of sediment and erosion control features will be in accordance with applicable sections of the "North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual." Drainage will be directed to proposed ditches along the perimeter. These ditches will receive runoff from the cap, conveying the flow to on-site sediment basins. For a detailed discussion regarding stormwater management and erosion and sediment control, please refer to the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan submitted under separate cover. 1.1.5 Freeze/Thaw Effects Based on a published map of frost depths throughout the United States (EPA, November 1993: A530-R-93-017), the anticipated maximum depth of freeze/thaw effects on the site is less than or equal to 18 inches. Since the upper 18 inches of final cover soil is not the low-permeability component of the cap, the effects of freeze/thaw cycles on the closure cap should not be detrimental to its function. 1.2 Waste Volume A summary of the total airspace available by phase was made in the Facility Plan and has been included in Appendix VII-1. The available airspace was calculated based on a comparison of the base grade and final grade surfaces. 1.3 Closure Plan Schedule The landfill is designed so that it can be closed incrementally as final contours are reached in various areas. Prior to beginning closure of any portion of the facility, CRSWMA will notify the Division that a notice of intent to close the facility has been placed in the operating record. An itemized list of closure milestones and a proposed schedule follow. Closure activities are proposed to begin within 30 days of final receipt of waste in the area to be closed. Construction of the closure cap is to be completed within 180 days following the initiation of closure activities. The total length of the proposed closure period is 210 days following the final receipt of waste. The approximate closure milestones shown in Table 1 below are proposed for use in tracking the progress of closure activities. A detailed schedule will be established prior to construction.

April 2016 4 Table 1 Proposed Closure Milestones and Schedule Milestone Proposed Schedule from the Date of Final Receipt of Waste Testing of borrow sources Within 6 months prior to closure Grading of intermediate cover Within 30 to 60 days Placement of soil cap 30 to 150 days Final inspection of cap by P.E. 150 to 180 days Construction of stormwater controls 90 to 180 days Seeding and mulching 150 to 180 days Preparation of survey plat 180 to 210 days Submittal of closure certification 180 to 210 days 1.4 Posting and Baiting At least one sign will remain posted at the entrance to the facility notifying persons of the facility closing. Also, a notice prohibiting further receipt of waste materials will remain posted at the entrance. The site will be secured through the use of gates equipped with locks, fencing, and/or natural barriers. The site will be baited for rodent and vector control before final closure is initiated. 1.5 Notification Once closure is complete, a survey plat will be prepared by a registered land surveyor showing the locations and dimensions of the landfill disposal areas, the locations of groundwater monitoring wells and gas probes, and the restrictions on future disturbance of the site. A notation will be recorded on the property deed stating that the land has been used to dispose solid waste and that its use is restricted under the Closure Plan as required by Rule .1627(c)(8). Copies of the deed notations as recorded will be placed in the Operating Record and forwarded to the Division. 1.6 Certification Upon completion of closure, a licensed professional engineer acting on behalf of the owner will submit a Certification of Closure to the Division. This Certification will state that the site was closed in accordance with the Closure Plan and applicable solid waste regulations and laws as required by Rule .1627(c)(7). VII – Closure and Post Closure Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA – Tuscarora Landfill PTO Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. April 2016 5 The owner must record a notation on the deed to the landfill facility property at the Craven County Registrar of Deeds office, or some other instrument that is normally examined during title search, and notify the Division that the notation has been recorded and a copy has been placed in the operating record. The notation shall in perpetuity notify any potential purchaser of the property that the land has been used as a MSW facility and its use is restricted under the closure plan approved by the Division. 1.7 Closure Cost Estimate An estimate of closure costs is provided in Appendix VII-2. All costs are given in 2015 dollars. 2.0 POST-CLOSURE ACTIVITIES Post-closure activities will be conducted at the landfill in accordance with Rule .1627 for a period of 30 years following closure of the landfill. The length of the period can be increased or decreased in accordance with Division directives. 2.1 Contact All correspondence and questions concerning the post-closure care of the unit should be directed to: Mr. Bobby Darden Executive Director Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority PO Box 128 Cove City, North Carolina, 28523 252-633-1564 2.2 Security Access to the site will be controlled by the use of barriers and gates at roadway entrances. These control devices will be maintained throughout the post-closure care period, and inspected as part of the monthly inspection program. All barriers and gates will be clearly marked with signs stating the name and nature of the facility and the person to contact in case of emergency or breach of security. 2.3 Post-Closure Maintenance Post-closure maintenance and monitoring will be conducted at the Tuscarora Landfill for a period of 30 years after final closure. The Division may decrease the length of the post-closure period if the owner or operator demonstrates that the reduced period is sufficient to protect human health and the environment, and the Division approves this demonstration. The period might be increased by the Division if the Division determines that the lengthened period is necessary to protect human health and the environment. Monitoring will include semiannual sampling of groundwater and surface water, quarterly gas monitoring and monthly inspection of the final cover and monitoring and control systems. VII – Closure and Post Closure Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA – Tuscarora Landfill PTO Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. April 2016 6 Routine maintenance and repairs may include upkeep of fencing, gates, & signage, access roads toward monitoring locations, stormwater, erosion, and sedimentation control facilities, potential leachate seeps, and the integrity of the final cap system. Maintenance needs identified through the monitoring program will be initiated no later than 60 days after the discovery, and within 24 hours if a danger or eminent threat to human health or the environment is indicated. Minor cap maintenance may be deferred until there is a sufficient amount of work to justify the mobilization of equipment and personnel. Unusual or extreme maintenance needs due to calamities or vandalism might require the implementation of emergency contract service procedures established by CRSWMA. 2.4 Inspection Plan Routine inspections will be conducted throughout the post-closure care period. These inspections will be carried out monthly unless problems are detected which indicate more frequent visits. Potential impacts to the public and environment will be considered in determining the inspection frequency. Items to be included in the monthly inspection will be as follows:  Access and security control  Leachate management and storage systems  Stormwater management  Erosion and sediment control  Gas management  Groundwater and landfill gas monitoring systems  Integrity of site benchmarks  Vector control. Inspection forms have been prepared for use during each inspection (see Appendix VII-3). Completed copies of the inspection forms will be kept by the owner, and copies will be forwarded to the Division for its records. 2.5 Monitoring Plan 2.5.1 Groundwater Monitoring Groundwater monitoring will occur semiannually throughout the post-closure care period. The monitoring schedule will continue as established during the active life of the facility. The applicable procedures outlined in Rules .1633 through .1637 will be followed through post- closure as required by site findings. Refer to the Water Quality Monitoring Plan in the Design Hydrogeologic Report, Volume III of this submittal. The post-closure care period for the site is 30 years unless modified by the Division. If the statistical analysis of the groundwater monitoring data does not indicate degradation to the VII – Closure and Post Closure Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA – Tuscarora Landfill PTO Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. April 2016 7 quality of the groundwater after the 30-year post-closure care period, a request will be made to terminate the groundwater monitoring program. All groundwater-monitoring wells will be maintained so that future monitoring can be resumed if desired. A blank groundwater monitoring well maintenance record form is provided in Appendix VII-4. 2.5.2 Surface Water Monitoring Surface water will be monitored according to the Water Quality Monitoring Plan. 2.5.3 Landfill Gas Monitoring Monitoring of explosive gas hazards will be performed as described in the Operations Plan. The active landfill gas collection and control system will continue to operate according to the Title V Air Permit (Appendix VI-3). At the end of the useful life of the gas collection and control system, and after operation is no longer required according to the Title V Air Permit, the gas extraction wellheads will be removed to allow any remaining gas to vent to the atmosphere. All buried gas system components will be left in place. The blower/flare and processing equipment will be decommissioned and may be removed from the facility. The facility will continue explosive gasses monitoring beyond the decommissioning of the active gas collection period in accordance with the Post-Closure criteria by Rule .1627 (d). 2.5.4 Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Facilities Stormwater management features proposed in the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan are designed to function throughout the post-closure care period. Drainage ditches and sediment ponds will be inspected and maintained as needed to control surface water runoff and erosion. 2.5.5 Leachate Management Leachate management will continue at the facility during the post-closure period as long as leachate continues to be generated. The leachate collection system will be evaluated periodically and maintained to prevent clogging. Leachate will be pumped as needed from the pond to tanker trucks, and hauled to the wastewater treatment plant for disposal. When leachate collection ceases, the following closure activities will be completed within 180 days. Leachate removal pipes will be securely plugged, and liquid and solid waste will be removed from the storage facilities and associated piping. Contaminated subsoils, structures, and equipment will also be removed. Material that is removed will be disposed in accordance with applicable requirements. VII – Closure and Post Closure Plan Joyce Engineering, Inc. CRSWMA – Tuscarora Landfill PTO Renewal November 2009 Craven County, North Carolina Rev. April 2016 8 2.6 Training Personnel responsible for conducting monitoring activities, site inspections and maintenance will be competent individuals trained in the skills needed for their job. Personnel will continue to receive training as new programs become available. Groundwater and surface water monitoring will be performed by a qualified firm, and laboratory analysis will be conducted by a certified environmental laboratory. 2.7 Post-Closure Land Use The primary land use for the site after closure of the landfill will be open dormant green space. Limited passive recreational uses may be proposed at a later time. 2.8 Post-Closure Cost Estimate An estimate of post-closure care costs is provided in Appendix VII-6. All costs are given in 2015 dollars.

The Tuscarora Landfill consists of the Closed Interim Regional Landfill, the Tuscarora Long-Term Regional Landfill (Phases 1, 2, & 3), and the Leachate Storage Lagoon Area. This WQMP complies with 15A NCAC 13B.1630-.1632 of the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules (NCSWMR). The WQMP also addresses the requirements for surface water monitoring specified in Rule .0602. CRSWMA submitted the Site Hydrogeological Report for the Long-Term Regional Landfill as part of a Site Plan Application prepared by HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) in 1995 (HDR, 1995). The report was prepared to meet the requirements specified in the NCSWMR, Rule .0504(1). In 1997, CRSWMA submitted a Design Hydrogeologic Report and a Water Quality Monitoring Plan as part of an Application for a Permit to Construct Phase 1 of the Long-Term Regional Landfill (HDR, 1997). In 2003, CRSWMA submitted a Design Hydrogeologic Report and a Water Quality Monitoring Plan as part of an Application for a Permit to Construct Phase 2 of the Long-Term Regional Landfill (JOYCE, 2003). In November 2010, CRSWMA submitted a Design Hydrogeologic Report and a Water Quality Monitoring Plan as part of an Application for a Permit to Construct Phase 3 of the Long-Term Regional Landfill (JOYCE, 2010) in accordance with NCSWMR .1623(a) and (b). Much of the site information in this WQMR was originally presented in the documents described above. 1.1 Site Description The Tuscarora Landfill is owned and operated by the Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority (CRSWMA) and is currently operating under North Carolina Solid Waste Permit Numbers 25-04 and 25-09. The landfill is located off Old Highway 70, near the town of New Bern in northwestern Craven County, North Carolina. The property boundary is indicated on an excerpt from the 7.5-minute USGS Topographic Map for Jasper, North Carolina (Figure 1). The Tuscarora Landfill includes four contiguous waste cells; the closed Tuscarora Interim Regional Landfill (IRL) (Permit 25-04-MSWLF-1993) and Phases 1, 2, and 3 of the Tuscarora Long-Term Regional Landfill (Permit 25-09-MSWLF-1999). The IRL was constructed in accordance with the Federal Subtitle D regulations with a composite liner and leachate collection and removal system. The IRL began receiving waste in 1993, and stopped receiving waste by November 1999. The Tuscarora Long-Term Regional (LTR) Landfill is constructed in accordance with Subtitle D requirements, beginning with Phase 1, which was constructed and began receiving waste in November 1999 and stopped receiving waste in 2005. Phase 2 was constructed in 2005 and was active from 2005 until June 2013. Phase 3 is the current, active cell. The Permit to Operate Phase 3 was approved by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) [which is now the Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ)] Solid Waste Section (SWS) on June 6, 2012, and began receiving waste on June 20, 2013. The current waste footprint comprises approximately 79 acres of the 101 acres approved in the permit. Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 2 1.2 Geology and Hydrogeology The Tuscarora Landfill is located in the Coastal Plain physiographic province. The Coastal Plain consists of a wedge of continental and marine sediments that are Cretaceous, Tertiary, and Quaternary in age. These sediments are approximately 1,500 feet thick in the area of the Tuscarora Landfill according to the North Carolina State Geologic Map (Brown, 1985). Surface water is directed through a network of constructed drainage ditches to the north-northeast towards Jumping Run, a tributary of Bachelor Creek. Shallow groundwater flow is to the east-southeast towards Beaverdam Branch, which is another tributary of Bachelor Creek located approximately 2.25 miles away. Bachelor Creek flows to the east to its confluence with the Neuse River. The upper aquifer (shallow aquifer) at the site consists of Miocene to Pleistocene age silty sands, clayey sands, and sandy clays. These sediments vary in thickness across the expansion area from approximately 7 to 18 feet. The sediments appear to be thicker in the western portion of the Phase 3 expansion area and thinner in the eastern portion of the Phase 3 area near MW-19S and MW-19D. The upper aquifer is separated from a lower aquifer by a lean to fat clay associated with the Pungo River Formation. The clay is thinnest from near the center of Phase 3 to the northeast and then north to MW-16S, MW-16SR and MW-16D. In general, the clay unit is represented by blue/gray fat clay, and grades to gray lean clay with sand lenses and partings in the central to eastern portion of the Phase 3 cell. The Pungo River Formation is Miocene in age and consists mainly of marine fat clay to silty clay, which represents a regressive marine sequence that grades from sandy clay to silty sand at the bottom of the formation (Harris, 1991). The Pungo River Formation is found at a depth of 7 to 18 feet below ground surface beneath the Phase 3 expansion area. In the vicinity of the Phase 3 expansion area, the elevation for the top of the Pungo River Formation exhibits undulating characteristics ranging in elevation from 28.1 to 39.6 feet above mean sea level. The variation in the elevation for the top of the Pungo River Formation in the Phase 3 expansion area appears to be due to a buried westerly sloping paleo channel that is incised into the Pungo River Formation. The channel appears to run northeast from the area near PZ-28 towards MW-17S and MW-17D. The lower aquifer (deep aquifer) is middle to upper Eocene in age and is part of the Castle Hayne Formation. It consists of a combination of coquina, weakly cemented calcarenite, and quartz sands. The formation is consistent throughout the Phase 3 area with little lateral variation. In general, the material becomes denser with depth. The landfill and surrounding area is relatively flat with less than 10 feet of natural relief. No natural drainages are present on site. Constructed ditches provide surface drainage. These ditches are approximately 3 to 6 feet deep and 4 to 10 feet wide and were constructed as part of tree farming activities that once took place at the site. Very little to no flow has been observed in these ditches, which appear to serve as water retention features based on field observations. Larger drainage ditches present at the Closed Craven County Landfill, Tuscarora Landfill, and surrounding the Phase 3 expansion area are for erosion and sediment control. These ditches appear to intercept the water table and contain water throughout the year. All of these drainage features discharge to a small Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 3 perennial stream located northeast of the site. This stream flows southeast to Jumping Run, a tributary of Bachelor Creek. 1.3 Groundwater Flow Regime Monitoring well construction data are presented in Table 1, and the boring logs for site monitoring wells are included in Appendix A. Historical groundwater elevation data from the facility are presented in Tables 2, 3, and 4. The upper aquifer extends to a maximum depth of approximately 17.5 feet below ground surface. The top of the water table in this area has ranged from 0 to 3.4 feet below ground surface. The groundwater potentiometric surface for the upper aquifer based on water level data acquired on April 8-9, 2015 is shown on Drawing 1. The general groundwater flow direction is to the southeast and northeast. This is consistent with a surface water drainage that makes its way to the southeast toward Jumping Run, located outside the facility boundary. The groundwater potentiometric surface for the lower aquifer based on water level data acquired on April 8-9, 2015 is shown on Drawing 2. The lower aquifer has a general groundwater flow direction to the southeast; however, the flow direction around the northeastern portion of the Closed IRL, Phases 1 and 2 of the LTR Landfill, and the majority of the Phase 3 area is radial towards the west during times of active pumping of the groundwater out of excavations in the borrow area. Groundwater also flows towards the southeast from the central to southeastern portion of the Closed IRL and the eastern portion of the Phase 3 area. Horizontal hydraulic gradients for the Tuscarora Landfill were calculated using groundwater flow line segments, which are positioned perpendicular to the groundwater surface contours for the upper aquifer (Drawing 1) and the lower aquifer (Drawing 2). Three groundwater flow line segments (i1, i2, and i3) were used to calculate the horizontal hydraulic gradients for the upper aquifer. Two groundwater flow line segments (i4, i5,) were used to calculate the horizontal hydraulic gradients for the lower aquifer. Average horizontal gradients for each of the groundwater flow line segments, along with available site-specific values for hydraulic conductivity and porosity were used to estimate linear groundwater flow velocities. Average linear groundwater flow velocities for wells were computed using the following modified Darcy equation: V = Ki/n where V = average linear velocity (feet/day), K = hydraulic conductivity (feet/day), i = horizontal hydraulic gradient, and n = effective porosity. Average hydraulic conductivities of 0.567 and 5.39 feet/day were assumed for the upper and lower aquifers, respectively, based on slug tests performed at the site. Effective porosities of 0.17 and 0.25 were used for the upper and lower aquifers, respectively, based on laboratory soil analyses from the site. The modified Darcy equation is based on assumptions of homogeneity and of isotropic, porous media. Because of the assortment of soil types in the upper aquifer and different degrees of consolidation in the lower aquifer, the calculated velocities are considered approximate. Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 4 Data for, and calculations of, the horizontal gradients and linear flow velocities for April 8-9, 2015 water level readings in the upper and lower aquifers are presented in Tables 5 and 6, respectively. The calculated horizontal gradients from the groundwater flow line segments for the upper aquifer at the Tuscarora Landfill range from approximately 0.0026 to 0.0036 foot/foot and the calculated linear groundwater velocities range from approximately 0.009 feet/day to 0.012 feet/day. The calculated horizontal gradients from the groundwater flow line segments for the lower aquifer at the Tuscarora Landfill range from approximately 0.0082 to 0.0185 foot/foot and calculated linear groundwater velocities range from approximately 0.177 feet/day to 0.399 feet/day. 2.0 GROUNDWATER MONITORING The groundwater monitoring network is designed to monitor for potential releases to the upper aquifer at the Tuscarora Landfill. The network is also designed to monitor the lower aquifer at the facility due to the relatively thin hydrogeologic unit that serves as the upper aquifer and the potential for groundwater recharge of the lower aquifer through the aquitard that separates the aquifers. Groundwater monitoring for Tuscarora Landfill will be performed in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .1633 (Detection Monitoring Program). The monitoring well network is shown on Drawing 3. A summary of well construction data for the compliance wells is provided on Table 1, and the available boring logs for the compliance wells are included in Appendix A. Survey data for the monitoring wells is included in Appendix B. The monitoring well network is designed to monitor sufficiently for any potential releases from each of the disposal units and the leachate storage lagoon. The existing monitoring wells will be used and maintained in accordance with design specifications throughout the life of the monitoring program. The specifications are outlined in 15A NCAC Subchapter 2C, Section .0100. Further guidance is provided in the Draft North Carolina Water Quality Monitoring Guidance Document for Solid Waste Facilities; Solid Waste Section, Division of Solid Waste Management; Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (March 1995), and the Solid Waste Section Guidelines for Groundwater, Soil, and Surface Water Sampling (April 2008). Routine well maintenance will include inspection and correction/repair of, as necessary, identification labels, concrete apron condition, locking caps and locks, and access to the wells. Should it be determined that the background or a compliance monitoring well no longer provides samples representative of the quality of groundwater passing the relevant point of compliance, the DWM will be notified. CRSWMA will re-evaluate the monitoring network, and provide recommendations to the DWM for modifying, rehabilitating, abandoning, or installing replacement or additional monitoring wells, as appropriate. 2.1 Groundwater Monitoring Network – Upper Aquifer A summary of the proposed monitoring network associated with the landfill and the leachate holding ponds for the upper aquifer is provided below. Well Construction details are provided in Table 1 and the well locations are shown on Drawing 2 and 3. Existing monitoring wells LST-5S, IRL-1S, and MW-12S are the background monitoring wells for the upper aquifer at the facility. Downgradient monitoring wells MW-A, IRL-3S, IRL-4S, and IR-5S monitor groundwater from the IRL. Downgradient monitoring wells MW-7, MW-10, MW- Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 5 11S, MW-13S, and MW-14R monitor groundwater from Phases 1 and 2 of the LTR Landfill (MW-7 is also downgradient of the Leachate Storage Lagoon Area). Monitoring wells MW-15S, MW-16S, MW-17S, MW-18S, and MW-19S monitor groundwater from the Phase 3 of the LTR Landfill. Monitoring wells LST-1S, LST-2S, LST-3S, LST-4S, and LST-6S monitor groundwater from the Leachate Storage Lagoon Area. Monitoring wells IRL-2SA, MW-B, MW-8, and piezometer PZ-Z will be used to obtain groundwater elevation data for the upper aquifer. 2.2 Groundwater Monitoring Network – Lower Aquifer A summary of the proposed monitoring network associated with the landfill and the leachate holding ponds for the lower aquifer is provided below. Well Construction details are provided in Table 1 and the well locations are shown on Drawing 2 and 3. Existing monitoring well MW-13D is the background monitoring well for the lower aquifer at the facility. Downgradient monitoring wells IRL-1D, IRL-3D, IRL-4D, and IRL-5D will monitor groundwater from the IRL. Downgradient monitoring wells MW-11D, MW-7D, MW-8D, MW- 20D, and MW-21D monitor groundwater from Phases 1 and 2 of the LTR Landfill. Monitoring wells MW-12D, MW-15D, MW-16D, MW-17D, MW-18D, and MW-19D monitor groundwater from the Phase 3 area. Monitoring wells LST-1D, LST-2D, LST-5D, and LST-6D monitor groundwater from the Leachate Storage Lagoon Area. Wells IRL-2DA, LST-3D, and LST-4D will be used to obtain groundwater elevation data for the lower aquifer. 2.3 Groundwater Sampling Methodology Groundwater samples will be collected in accordance with Solid Waste Management Rules 15A NCAC 13B .1630 through .1633 and guidance provided in the Draft North Carolina Water Quality Monitoring Guidance Document for Solid Waste Facilities; Solid Waste Section, Division of Solid Waste Management; Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (March 1995), and the Solid Waste Section Guidelines for Groundwater, Soil, and Surface Water Sampling (April 2008). Details of well purging, sample withdrawal, and decontamination methods, as well as chain- of-custody procedures are outlined below. Static water elevations and the total well depth will be measured to the nearest 0.01 of a foot in each well prior to the sampling of each well. An electronic water level meter will be used for the measurements. The distance from the top of the well casing to the water surface will be measured using the tape attached to the probe. Reference elevations of the proposed wells have been obtained from a North Carolina registered land surveyor (see Appendix B). A low-yield well (one that is incapable of yielding three well volumes within a reasonable time) will be purged so that water is removed from the bottom of the screened interval. Low-yield wells will be evacuated to dryness once, and then allowed to recover prior to sampling. A high-yield well (one that is capable of yielding more than three well volumes during purging) will be purged so that water is drawn down from the uppermost part of the water column to ensure that fresh water from the formation will move upward in the screen. At no time will a well be evacuated Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 6 to dryness if the recharge rate causes the formation water to vigorously cascade down the sides of the screen, which could cause an accelerated loss of volatiles. A minimum of three well volumes will be evacuated from high-yield wells prior to sampling. A well volume is defined as the water contained within the well casing and pore spaces of the surrounding filter pack. The well volume will be calculated using the following formulas: Vc = (dc2/4) x3.14 x hw x (7.48 gallons/cubic foot) Vc (gallons) = 0.163 x hw (for a 2-inch well) where: Vc = volume in the well casing in gallons dc = casing diameter in feet (dc = 0.167 for a 2-inch well) hw = height of the water column in feet (i.e., well depth minus depth to water). Each well will be evacuated (purged) and sampled with a disposable bailer, a sampling pump, or a certified pre-cleaned reusable Teflon bailer. The SWS Guidelines Teflon Bailer Cleaning Procedure is included in Appendix C. The bailer or pump will be lowered gently into the well to minimize the possibility of causing degassing of the water. If sampled with a pump, flow rates will be regulated to minimize turbidity and degassing of the water. All equipment used for sampling will be handled in such a manner to ensure that the equipment remains decontaminated prior to use. In between wells and following completion of the field sampling, water level meters, sampling pumps, reusable bailers, or any other reusable sampling equipment will be properly decontaminated. Clean disposable gloves will be worn by sampling personnel and changed between wells. Before sampling the first well, between wells, and following completion of the field sampling, the electronic depth meter, sampling pump, and/or any other sampling equipment will be decontaminated using the following procedure. 1) Phosphate-free soap and distilled water wash; 2) Distilled water rinse; 3) Air dry. The use of any additional SWS-approved cleaning reagents for decontamination rinses in the field, such as lab grade methanol, shall be containerized for proper disposal in accordance with SWS Guidelines. The upgradient/background wells will be sampled first, followed by the downgradient wells. The order of sampling of the downgradient wells will be evaluated prior to each sampling event to provide a sequence going from less contaminated to more contaminated, if applicable, based on the previous sampling event. Field measurements of temperature, pH, and specific conductance will be made before sample collection. The direct reading equipment used at each well will be calibrated according to the Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 7 manufacturer's specifications prior to each sampling event. Groundwater samples will be collected and containerized in the order of the volatilization sensitivity (e.g., VOCs first, followed by the metals). Pre-preserved sample containers will be supplied by the laboratory. The VOC vials will be filled in such a manner that no headspace remains after filling. Immediately upon collection, all samples will be placed in coolers on ice where they will be stored prior to and during transit to the laboratory. Samples collected will be properly containerized, packed into pre-cooled coolers and either hand-delivered or shipped via overnight courier to the laboratory for analysis. The chain-of-custody program will allow for tracing of possession and handling of samples from the time of field collection through laboratory analysis. The chain-of-custody program will include sample labels and seals, field logs, chain-of-custody records, and laboratory logs. Labels sufficiently durable to remain legible when wet will contain the following information:  Job and sample identification;  Monitoring well number or other location;  Date and time of collection;  Name of collector;  Parameter or method to be analyzed; and  Preservative, if applicable. The shipping container will be sealed to ensure that the samples have not been disturbed during transport to the laboratory. If the sample cannot be analyzed because of damage or disturbance, whenever possible, the damaged sample will be replaced during the same compliance period. The field logs will be completed for each well sampled. Example field logs are included in Appendix C. Field logs will document the following information:  Identification of the well;  Well depth;  Static water level depth;  Presence of immiscible layers, odors or other indications of potential contamination;  Purge volume (given in gallons);  Time well was purged;  Date and time of collection;  Well sampling sequence;  Field analysis data and methods;  Field observations on sampling event;  Name of collector(s);  Climatic conditions (temperature, precipitation). Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 8 The chain-of-custody record is required to establish the documentation necessary to trace sample possession from time of collection to time of receipt at destination. A chain-of-custody record will accompany each individual shipment. The record will contain the following information:  Sample destination and transporter;  Sample identification numbers;  Signature of collector;  Date and time of collection;  Sample type;  Identification of well;  Number of sample containers in shipping container;  Parameters requested for analysis;  Signature of person(s) involved in the chain of possession;  Inclusive dates of possession; and  Internal temperature of shipping container upon opening (noted by the laboratory). A copy of the completed chain-of-custody sheet will accompany the shipment and will be returned to the shipper with the analytical results. The chain of custody record will also be used as the analysis request sheet. Example Chain-of-custody forms are included in Appendix C. A field/equipment blank will be collected and analyzed during each sampling event to verify that the sample collection and handling processes have not affected the integrity of the field samples. The field/equipment blank will be prepared in the field from lab pure water (Type II reagent grade distilled water) supplied by the laboratory. The lab will provide appropriate sample containers and water for generation of the field/equipment blank(s). One field/equipment blank will be prepared for each sampling event. The field/equipment blank will be generated by exposing the lab pure water to the sampling environment and sampling equipment/media in the same manner as actual field samples being collected. The field/equipment blank water will accompany the samplers to each well or sampling point and will be exposed to the atmosphere at each well or sampling point as each is being sampled. If disposable bailers are used, the bailers will be decontaminated as between wells, and then the field/equipment blank will be poured into the same bailer used to samples wells and dispensed into the sample containers from the bailer. The field/equipment blank will be the last sample collected during a sampling event. The field/equipment blank will be subjected to the same analyses as the groundwater samples. As with all other samples, the time(s) of the field/equipment blank collection will be recorded so that the sampling sequence is documented. The field/equipment blank monitors for contamination from the sampling equipment/media, or from cross-contamination that might occur between samples and sample containers as they are opened and exposed to the sampling environment. Whenever groundwater or surface water samples are being collected for volatiles analyses, a trip blank will be generated by the laboratory prior to shipment of sampling containers and coolers to the field using lab pure water as described above. The trip blank shall be transported with the empty Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 9 sampling containers to the field, but will not be opened at any time prior to analysis at the laboratory. The trip blank will accompany the groundwater samples in the cooler(s) back to the laboratory and will be analyzed by the same volatile methods as the associated field samples. The trip blank monitors for potential cross-contamination that might occur between samples or that may be a result of the shipping environment. Detectable levels of contaminants found in the field/equipment blanks or trip blanks will not be used to correct the groundwater data, but will be noted accordingly. Contaminants detected in groundwater or surface water that are also detected in the field/equipment blanks or trip blanks at similar concentrations may be flagged as blank-qualified. Contaminants present in trip blanks or field/equipment blanks at concentrations within an order of magnitude of those observed in the corresponding groundwater samples may be cause for resampling. 2.4 Sample Analysis Requirements Analysis of groundwater and surface water samples from the facility will be conducted by a laboratory certified by the DEQ. Analyses will be performed in accordance with U.S. EPA SW-846 methods. Both groundwater and surface water samples will be analyzed for the constituents listed in NCSWMR Appendix I in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .1633 (Detection Monitoring Program). In addition, field analyses for temperature, pH, and specific conductance will be performed for each sample. Appendix D includes a table of all Appendix I and Appendix II constituents with their respective analytical methods, CAS numbers, NCDEQ Solid Waste Section Limits (SWSL), 15A NCAC 2L.0202 (NC 2L) groundwater standards, and/or SWS groundwater protection standards (GWPS). Appendix D also includes a table of 15A NCAC 2B (NC 2B) Surface Water Standards. Untreated leachate generated by the Tuscarora Landfill will be analyzed on a semiannual basis, concurrent with water quality sampling. The leachate will be analyzed for the constituents listed in NCSWMR Appendix I (Detection Monitoring constituents) as well as pH, specific conductance, BOD, COD, phosphate, nitrate and sulfate. 2.5 Reporting and Record Keeping The laboratory analytical results will be submitted to the Solid Waste Section at least semiannually. The following measurements, analytical data, calculations, and other relevant groundwater monitoring records will be kept throughout the active life of the facility and the post-closure care period:  Records of all groundwater and surface water quality data;  Associated sample collection field logs and measurements at the time of sample collection;  Notices and reports of exceedances of NC 2L Standards, GWPS, and/or NC 2B Standards; and/or  Reporting or data errors, missing data, etc. Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 10 3.0 COMPARISONS TO STANDARDS 3.1 Comparison to Groundwater Protection Standards (GPS) Constituents detected in the groundwater samples collected from the compliance well network shall be compared to the appropriate GPS for that constituent in accordance with NCSWMR §.1634.g. The comparison will be performed using a value-to-value procedure. If a suspect GPS exceedance is noted during the value-to-value comparison, a confirmation sample may be collected. The results from a confirmation sample will be compared to the GPS in a value-to-value comparison, or the value may be statistically compared to background. In most cases, the GPS will be equal to the Groundwater Standard established for a given constituent in 15A NCAC 2L.0202 (NC-2L Standards). For constituents without listed NC-2L Standards, the groundwater protection standards (GWPS) established by the NCDEQ SWS may be used. In the event that a site-specific statistical background value can be established for a given constituent which is higher that the NC-2L standard, GWPS, or other appropriate listed standard, the background may be used as the GPS with DENR approval. 3.2 Statistical Analyses With the April 2011 revision to the NCSWMR, routine statistical comparison to background for all detected constituents is no longer required for landfills regulated under §.1600 of the NCSWMR; however, statistical analyses may be used to establish an alternate GPS for constituents with the approval of the DENR if desired by the facility. If the facility elects to use statistical analyses to determine background values for a give constituent, the facility may use either interwell or intrawell statistics. If an interwell approach is taken, concentrations of detected of constituents in downgradient wells will be compared to statistically determined background values for those constituents. Background values will be based primarily on historical data from upgradient wells LST-5S, IRL-1S, MW-12S, and MW-13D; however, background data from downgradient wells that were collected prior to waste emplacement may also be included. Background data shall be evaluated using Parametric Prediction Limits, Parametric Tolerance Intervals, Non-Parametric Prediction Limits, or Poisson Prediction Limits as appropriate. Tests for normality, outliers, Aitchison’s adjustment, tolerance intervals, or prediction limits are to be included as appropriate based on the background data. Intrawell statistics compare new measurements to the historical data at each ground water monitoring well independently. Intrawell statistical evaluation may be conducted by using historical data from the well in question, excluding the most recent 3-4 years (6-8 sampling events) as the background data. These background data can be evaluated using Parametric Prediction Limits, Parametric Tolerance Intervals, Non-Parametric Prediction Limits, or Poisson Prediction Limits as appropriate. Tests for normality, outliers, Aitchison’s adjustment, tolerance intervals, or prediction limits are to be included as appropriate based on the background data. Statistical analyses shall be conducted in compliance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidance document, Statistical Analysis of Groundwater Monitoring Data Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 11 at RCRA Facilities, Unified Guidance (USEPA, 2009). The background data are to be evaluated using Parametric Prediction Limits, Parametric Tolerance Intervals, Non-Parametric Prediction Limits, or Poisson Prediction Limits as appropriate. Tests for normality, outliers, Aitchison’s adjustment, tolerance intervals, or prediction limits are to be included as appropriate based on the background data. The statistical test by which downgradient data are compared to facility background data is based upon the nature of the data and the number of data values that are less than the laboratory limit of detection. All statistical tests are evaluated at the 0.05 level of significance, 95% confidence level, and are conducted as one-tailed tests. These methods and the criteria for their use are discussed below. 3.2.1 Treatment of Censored Data Generally, background data are censored as follows. When less than or equal to 15% of the background data values are less than the applicable reporting limit or quantitation limit (generally, the SWSL), any data reported at less than the applicable limit will be treated as one-half the limit. 3.2.2 Assumption of Normality Prior to conducting statistical tests that are based on the assumption of normally distributed data, normality of the background data shall be evaluated using the Shapiro-Wilk statistic (W). Normality shall be assessed at the 95% confidence level. In the event that the raw data fail to follow a normal distribution, the data shall be transformed using a base-10 logarithm. The transformed data shall then be tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk statistic. In the event that the log-transformed data also fail to follow a normal distribution, a non-parametric approach shall be applied. 3.2.3 Parametric Upper Tolerance Limit When the background data consist of a minimum of eight independent data values and less than or equal to 15% of the background data values are less than the DL for a given analyte, the downgradient values are then compared to the parametric upper tolerance limit in accordance with the procedure summarized in the EPA guidance document (USEPA, 2009). 3.2.4 Aitchison’s Adjusted Parametric Upper Prediction Limit In those cases where the background data consist of a minimum of eight independent data values and more than 15%, but less than or equal to 50%, of the background data values are truncated (below than the DL) for a given analyte, the mean and standard deviation are adjusted. This is done in accordance with the procedure described by Aitchison and summarized in the EPA guidance document (USEPA, 2009). After the adjustments are made, the downgradient values are compared to the Aitchison’s adjusted parametric upper prediction limit in accordance with the procedures summarized in the EPA guidance document (USEPA, 2009). 3.2.5 Non-parametric Upper Tolerance Limit In those cases where more than 50%, but less than or equal to 90%, of the background data values are truncated (below than the DL) for a given analyte or the background data fail to follow a normal or log-normal distribution, downgradient values are compared to the non-parametric upper tolerance limit. This procedure is done in accordance with the procedures summarized in the EPA guidance document (USEPA, 2009). Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 12 3.2.6 Poisson Upper Prediction Limit In those cases where more than 90% of the background data values are truncated (below than the DL) for a given analyte, the downgradient values are compared to the Poisson upper prediction limit. These comparisons are made in accordance with the procedure summarized in the EPA guidance document (USEPA, 2009). 4.0 SURFACE WATER MONITORING CRSWMA monitors surface water in conformance with NCSWMR Rule .0602 at existing surface water monitoring points SWPT-1 and SWPT-2 and at existing underdrain monitoring points UD-2 and UD-3. SWPT-1 is located approximately 200 feet from the southeastern corner of the Interim Regional Landfill and is considered upgradient of SWPT-2, which is located approximately 100 ft east of the northeast corner of the IRL. Underdrain monitoring point UD-1, located approximately 1050 feet east of the northeast corner of the IRL, is not monitored due to its location downgradient of the Closed Craven County Landfill because samples collected would not be representative of the Tuscarora Landfill. Underdrain monitoring point UD-2 is located approximately 150 feet from the southeast corner of the LTR Landfill and is to provide linear release detection data for Phases 1 & 2 of the LTR Landfill. Underdrain monitoring point UD-3 is located approximately 300 feet from the northeast corner of the Phase 3 Expansion Area and is to provide linear release detection data for the Phase 3 of the LTR Landfill. The location of these sampling points is provided on Drawing 3. Surface water samples will be collected and analyzed for the NCSWMR Appendix I list of constituents during the semiannual monitoring events. The results will be compared to 15A NCAC 2B (NC-2B) Surface Water Standards in a value-to-value comparison. For this facility, NC-2B Standard used for comparison shall be either the Human Health Standard or the Freshwater Aquatic Life Standard, whichever is more protective. Appendix D includes NC-2B Surface Water Standards for NC Appendix I and II Constituents. 5.0 ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY MONITOR RELEASES The closed Craven County Landfill is located adjacent to and east of the Tuscarora Landfill. The IRL waste cell and the southeastern corner of Phase1 of the LTR landfill are immediately adjacent to the Craven County Landfill. Monitoring wells IRL-4S, IRL-4D, IRL-5S, IRL-5D, and MW-11D monitor the groundwater between the Tuscarora landfill and the Craven County landfill. The groundwater flow for the upper aquifer is generally to the southeast, toward the Craven County Landfill. The lower aquifer has a general groundwater flow direction to the southeast; however, the flow direction around the northeastern portion of the IRL, Phases 1 and 2, and the majority of Phase 3 is radial towards the west due to pumping of groundwater in the borrow area. Groundwater also flows towards the southeast from the central to southeastern portion of the IRL and the eastern portion of the Phase 3 expansion area. Due to its downgradient location in both the upper and lower aquifers, the closed Craven County Landfill will not detract from the effectiveness of the proposed monitoring network for the Water Quality Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill Revised December 2015 13 Tuscarora Landfill. There are no other known conditions, physical or hydrogeological, which could interfere with the effective monitoring of the Tuscarora Landfill. The groundwater monitoring system, which is designed to detect a release of solid waste constituents to the upper and lower aquifers at the facility, meets the monitoring requirements specified under Rules .1630 through .1637 of the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules, Title 15A, and Subchapter 13B. This Water Quality Monitoring Plan, when implemented, will be effective in providing early detection of any release of hazardous constituents to the upper and lower aquifers beneath the Tuscarora Landfill, so as to be protective of public health and the environment. 6.0 REFERENCES Barnett, V. and Lewis, T., 1978, Outliers in Statistical Data, John Wiley & Sons.

Landfill gas will be monitored quarterly to ensure that methane does not exceed the regulatory limit at the facility boundary or in facility structures. The LGMP was prepared in accordance with the rules written in 15A NCAC 13B .1626, Operational Requirements for municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) facilities, to assure performance standards are met and to protect public health and the environment. 1.1 Background The Tuscarora Landfill is owned and operated by the Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority (CRSWMA) and is currently operating under North Carolina Solid Waste Permit Nos. 25-04 and 25-09. The landfill is located off of Old Highway 70, near the town of New Bern in northwestern Craven County, North Carolina. The property boundary is indicated on an excerpt from the 7.5 minute USGS topographic map for Jasper, North Carolina. The Tuscarora Landfill includes four contiguous waste cells; the closed Tuscarora Interim Regional Landfill (Permit 25-04-MSWLF-1993) and Phases 1, 2, and 3 of the Tuscarora Long- Term Regional Landfill (Permit 25-09-MSWLF-1999). The Interim Regional Landfill (IRL) was constructed in accordance with the Federal Subtitle D regulations with a composite liner and leachate collection and removal system. The IRL began receiving waste in 1993, and stopped receiving waste by November 1999. The Tuscarora Long-Term Regional (LTR) Landfill (LTR) is constructed in accordance with Subtitle D requirements, beginning with Phase 1, which was constructed and began receiving waste in November 1999 and stopped receiving waste in 2005. Phase 2 was constructed in 2005 and was active from 2005 until June 2013. Phase 3 is the current, active cell and began receiving waste on June 20, 2013. The Permit to Operate Phase 3 was approved by NC DENR Solid Waste Section on June 6, 2013. The current waste footprint comprises approximately 79 acres of the 101 acres approved in the permit. 1.2 Site Geology and Hydrogeology The Tuscarora Landfill is located in the Coastal Plain physiographic province. The Coastal Plain consists of a wedge of continental and marine sediments that are Cretaceous, Tertiary, and Quaternary in age. These sediments are approximately 1,500 feet thick in the area of the Tuscarora Landfill according to the North Carolina State Geologic Map (Brown, 1985). Surface water is directed through a network of constructed drainage ditches to the north-northeast towards Jumping Run, a tributary of Bachelor Creek. Shallow groundwater flow is to the east- southeast towards Beaverdam Branch, which is another tributary of Bachelor Creek located approximately 2.25 miles away. Bachelor Creek flows to the east to its confluence with the Neuse River. The uppermost (shallow) aquifer at the site consists of Miocene to Pleistocene age silty sands, clayey sands, and sandy clays. The uppermost aquifer is separated from a lower aquifer by a Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill December 2015 Permit No. 25-04& 25-09 2 lean to fat clay associated with the Pungo River Formation. The Pungo River Formation is Miocene in age and consists mainly of marine fat clay to silty clay, which represents a regressive marine sequence that grades from sandy clay to silty sand at the bottom of the formation (Harris, 1991). The lower aquifer is middle to upper Eocene in age and is part of the Castle Hayne Formation. It consists of a combination of coquina and a weakly cemented calcarenite. Both the upper and lower aquifers at the site are primarily made up of coarse sand and silty sand. The aquifers are separated by a confining layer consisting of marine clays, silty clays, and very fine silty sands. Groundwater elevation contours for the shallow aquifer are shown on Drawing 1, and were interpreted from the April 2015 water level measurements. Groundwater flow of the shallow aquifer is predominantly to the east-southeast. Groundwater in the deep aquifer usually flows primarily to the northwest due to dewatering in the borrow area excavations, creating a cone of depression. However, beginning September 1, 2014, pumping in the borrow area excavations stopped, allowing the deep aquifer to revert to a more gradual potentiometric surface, and flow to the southeast. The hydrogeological conditions will continue to be monitored and reported semiannually. Horizontal groundwater gradients were estimated based on April 2015 groundwater levels. The groundwater contours and the groundwater flow lines were used to calculate hydraulic gradients for the site. The horizontal gradients were estimated to range from 0.0027 to 0.0036 ft/ft for the shallow aquifer and 0.0082 to 0.0185 ft/ft for the deep aquifer. The gradients generally reflect the uppermost aquifer underlying the site, the flat topography of the site, and wet storm water drainage ditches and basins located within the site. The borrow pit area was not actively being dewatered. Linear groundwater flow velocities were computed using the following modified Darcy equation: V = Ki/n where V = average linear velocity (feet per day – ft/day), K = hydraulic conductivity (ft/day), i = horizontal hydraulic gradient, and n = effective porosity. The hydraulic conductivity used to calculate flow velocities was based on the geometric mean of hydraulic conductivities derived from slug tests for the shallow and deep aquifers. The calculated linear groundwater flow velocities from the April 2015 groundwater monitoring event range from 0.009 to 0.012 ft/day for the shallow aquifer and from 0.177 to 0.399 ft/day for the deep aquifer. These results are consistent with historical results for the facility. The linear velocity equation is based on the simplified assumption of a homogeneous and isotropic aquifer. 1.3 Regulatory Limits This LGMP is designed in accordance with Rule 15A NCAC 13B .1626 to ensure that the concentration of methane gas generated by the facility does not exceed 25 percent of the lower Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill December 2015 Permit No. 25-04& 25-09 3 explosive limit (LEL) for methane in facility structures or that the concentration of methane gas does not exceed the LEL for methane at the facility property boundary. The LEL for methane equals 5% by volume at standard temperature and pressure. This LGMP prescribes a routine methane monitoring program to ensure standards are met and actions to be taken if methane concentrations exceed specified limits. 2.0 LANDFILL GAS MONITORING Gas monitoring at the CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill will be performed during the active life of the landfill and throughout the post-closure care period. At a minimum, quarterly monitoring will be conducted at the subsurface gas detection boundary probes, soil bar-hole probes, and in all structures located on the landfill property. 2.1 Landfill Gas Monitoring Network The Tuscarora Landfill does not pose the potential for subsurface methane migration since the constructed base grades of the landfill are elevated above the surrounding ground to achieve the required separation from groundwater. Therefore any lateral migration of landfill gas would be released to the atmosphere within the landfill property. Moreover, the water table, which is near ground surface, and the ditches around the landfill that hold water year-round, serve as barriers to subsurface migration. The current landfill gas monitoring network locations are shown on Drawing No. 2. The network currently consists of 3 permanent probes (GP-6, GP-7, and GP-8), and 15 soil bar-hole probes (BHP-1 through BHP-15). Facility Structures are also monitored including a small shed in the composting area, the scalehouse and office building, the maintenance shop and a storage shed. In the past, the Interim Regional Landfill (IRL) was monitored by permanent Landfill Gas Monitoring Wells LFG-MW-1 through LFG-MW-7, which were installed immediately outside of waste limits of the IRL, Permit 25-04. Three leachate collection system manholes were also monitored for landfill gas, as well as the facility structures at the time including an office trailer, scalehouse, shop, and storage shed. LFG-MW-1 was damaged and/or removed during the Phase 1 expansion of Long-term Regional Landfill (LTRL), Permit 25-09, and the well/probe is no longer monitored. The LTRL and IRL cells are contiguous with each other; however, each phase is constructed as a self-contained waste cell, and each Phase was constructed so that the landfill bottom is above the surrounding ground and at or above elevation 50 feet above mean sea level. Due to the above ground design and shallow aquifer, temporary soil bar-hole probes are used for the monitoring network around the LTRL. A soil bar-hole probe (BHP) is made at the time of monitoring in the soil at the approximate location indicated by the Landfill Gas Monitoring Locations Drawing for the purpose of sampling soil gas for methane. The BHP is further described below. Since LFG-MW-02, LFG-MW-03, LFG-MW-04, and LFG-MW-05 were installed immediately adjacent to the IRL waste cell, they do not monitor conditions at the facility boundary. LFG- MW-02, LFG-MW-03, LFG-MW-04, and LFG-MW-05 have historically yielded methane Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill December 2015 Permit No. 25-04& 25-09 4 detections and exceedances, and in the past the action taken at the time of monitoring was to perform additional soil bar-hole probes between the permanent probe and the closest property line or structure to delineate the extent of the methane migration beyond the probe. In 2011 CRSWMA proposed to install a new permanent probe, to be designated GP-8, near the property boundary where it comes closest to the waste to serve as a permanent boundary monitoring probe to supersede LFG-MW-02, LFG-MW-03, LFG-MW-04, and LFG-MW-05 for future quarterly monitoring. The installation of GP-8 was approved by the SWS dated January 20, 2012. Joyce installed GP-8 on February 18, 2012, and submitted the installation report and well record to SWS on February 20, 2012. Quarterly Monitoring results for GP-8 have consistently shown no methane even when there were detections or exceedances monitored in LFG-MW-02, LFG-MW- 03, LFG-MW-04, and LFG-MW-05 demonstrating methane from the IRL is not migrating beyond the facility boundary.

Probe Identification: The old permanent gas monitoring probes and are tagged as GMP-06; they have also been referred to in past documentation as Landfill Gas Monitoring Wells (LFG-MW-06), or more recently as Gas Probes (GP-06). 2. Estimated based on typical 10-feet of screen. N/A = Not Applicable The old LFG-MWs were constructed circa 1994, with a 1-inch diameter PVC Schedule 40 screen and flush-thread riser pipe and has been fitted with a quick-connect coupling with a shut-off valve. The old LFG-MWs have 1-foot by 1-foot concrete well pads and 4-inch PVC Schedule 40 outer casings with PVC caps. GP-8 was constructed in 2012 in accordance with the Section Guidance Document, with 2-inch schedule-40 PVC screen with 0.010 slot and flush-threaded riser pipe, PVC cap fitted with “quick-connect” shut-off valve, a concrete well pad, and an outer protective casing, and driller’s well tag. The soil BHPs are made by driving a quarter-inch steel rod 18 to 36 inches below the ground surface, but staying above the groundwater table, followed by the insertion of a tube connected to the methane gas monitoring instrument. 2.2 Structure and Ambient Sampling There is over 1,200 feet to the nearest temporary structure, and over 2,000 feet to the permanent facility structures; however, the structures will be monitored for safety due to the proximity of the older closed Craven County Landfill. Four structures are currently monitored for explosive gases. The applicable regulatory limit for structures is less than 25% of the LEL for methane. The structures include the CRSWMA offices and scalehouse building, the maintenance shop, a storage shed behind the shop, and a small shed in the compost area. The monitored structures are identified on Drawing No. 2. 2.3 Landfill Gas Monitoring Frequency The landfill gas probes and on-site structures included in this LGMP are monitored at least quarterly in accordance with Rule 15A NCAC 13B .1626(4)(b)(ii). 3.0 LANDFILL GAS SAMPLING PROCEDURES Landfill gas samples will be collected in accordance with Solid Waste Section’s Landfill Gas Monitoring Guidance Document. Details of detection equipment and sampling procedures are outlined below. 3.1 Detection Equipment A portable combustible gas analyzer, measuring the concentration of combustible gases in units of percent of LEL and/or percent volume, shall be used to conduct gas monitoring. The LEL (lower explosive limit) means the lowest percent by volume of a mixture of combustible gas in air that will propagate a flame at 25 degrees Celsius and atmospheric pressure. If an instrument gives readings only in percent volume, a conversion into % LEL will be made in order to complete the Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form. Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill December 2015 Permit No. 25-04& 25-09 6 The gas monitor shall be calibrated to methane using the manufacturer's calibration kit and procedure before the monitoring activities begin. The calibration gas to be used depends on the expected levels of methane in landfill gas monitoring locations. If low level methane is expected 15% CO2/15% CH4 calibration gas should be used; but if high level methane is expected, 35% CO2/ 50% CH4 calibration gas should be used. Verification that the equipment was calibrated in accordance with the manufacture’s specifications is required. Calibration information must be recorded on the Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form. 3.2 Landfill Gas Sampling Procedure The portable combustible gas monitor will be turned on and allowed to warm up prior to gas sampling. The static pressure instrument should show a reading of zero before taking the initial sample. The sample tube shall be purged for at least one minute prior to connecting the sample tube to the monitoring probe then the initial concentration will be recorded. Gas monitoring will continue until the reading has stabilized. A stable reading is considered to be +/- 0.5% by volume on the instrument’s scale. Once the reading has stabilized for 5 seconds, the reading will be recorded and the tube will be disconnected from the valve. These steps will be repeated for each landfill gas monitoring well. These steps will also be followed for each soil bar-hole probe except that a probe location has to be created by driving a 1/4-inch rod into the soil up to 36 inches deep, then the sampling tube will be immediately inserted into the depth of the bar-hole for sampling soil gas. Gas monitoring in the facility’s buildings will attempt to identify the "worst case" concentrations. The monitoring locations will be in corners along floors and ceilings, at cracks in the floor, and at other areas likely to accumulate gas. Gas monitoring will also be conducted in any confined space requiring the entry of personnel for maintenance or inspection. Such monitoring will take place prior to entry by personnel in accordance with OSHA regulations. 4.0 RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING The landfill gas data will be recorded in accordance to the SWS’s Landfill Gas Monitoring Guidance Document included as Appendix I. The records will be maintained in the landfill operating record. 4.1 Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form A landfill gas monitoring form is included as Appendix II. 4.2 Sampling Reports The landfill gas monitoring report will be prepared in accordance 15A NCAC 13B. 0500 and .1600 Rules. The SWS Landfill Gas Monitoring Guidance Document in Appendix I covers the current SWS rules pertaining to landfill gas monitoring. The report will describe the method of sampling, the date, time, location, sampling personnel, atmospheric temperature, reported barometric pressure, equipment calibration information, exceptions noted during sampling, and Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Joyce Engineering CRSWMA Tuscarora Landfill December 2015 Permit No. 25-04& 25-09 7 general weather conditions at the time of sampling, in addition to the concentration of combustible gases. 4.3 Permanent Record Keeping A copy of the landfill gas monitoring results and any remediation plans will be maintained in the landfill operating record. The reports will be maintained at the facility or an alternative location near the facility approved by the Division. 5.0 CONTINGENCY PLAN If methane gas levels exceeding the regulatory limits specified in 15A NCAN 13B .1626(4)(a) are detected, the results shall be reported to CRSWMA immediately. The Authority will notify the NCDEQ, SWS in writing and will take immediate steps to ensure safety and protection of human health. If methane levels exceed the LEL in existing gas probes, the need for additional gas probes will be evaluated, as well as the need for monitoring within any nearby structures in the direction of the gas migration. If the exceedence is in a gas probe not located at or near a property boundary, additional investigation including use of bar-hole probes or temporary gas probes may be implemented to determine whether or not the exceedence extends to the property boundary. If necessary, additional permanent gas probes may be installed between the exceeding probe(s) and the property boundary to demonstrate that the site is in compliance. If the compliance level is exceeded in an on-site structure, options will be evaluated to reduce the current methane levels and to prevent further migration of methane into the structure. At a minimum, the following actions will be taken if the methane concentration exceeds 25% in any structure: • Put out all smoking materials and turn off all ignition sources; • Evacuate all personnel; • Vent the structure; • Do not allow personnel to reenter the building except to perform gas monitoring until the results of additional monitoring indicate that methane concentrations are sustained or stabilized below 25% LEL; • Begin continuous monitoring within the structure; and • Undertake an assessment to determine the origin and pathways of the gas migration. Within seven days of detection, the monitoring results will be placed in the Operating Record and the County will indicate actions taken and actions proposed to resolve the problem. Within 60 days of detection, the Authority will develop and implement a landfill gas remediation plan for the combustible gas releases and notify the Division that the plan has been implemented. The plan will describe the nature and extent of the problem and the proposed remedy.

If the concentration exceeds the specified limits, steps must be taken to ensure the protection of public health and a remediation plan must be implemented immediately. A landfill gas monitoring plan is necessary to ensure that these performance standards are met and this guidance document was developed to assist in establishing a standardized procedure for the monitoring of landfill gas. Background Organic matter in landfills begins to decompose almost immediately after being placed in a disposal site. Putrescible wastes such as food products and sewage sludges begin to break down by biological processes very rapidly whereas paper, cardboard or cellulose based materials are slower to decompose. However, when conditions become favorable, most organic matter will decompose. The decomposition process typically goes through several stages that depend on conditions such as pH, temperature, and moisture content. The final stage results in the production of methane and although the rate of production may vary, most landfills produce methane. Landfill Gas Generation Landfill gas is a natural by-product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic waste in a landfill. The composition, quantity and rate of landfill gas generation are dependent on the types of waste that are decomposing and the level of microbial activity within the wastes. The decomposition of biodegradable waste begins with aerobic decomposition which lasts until the oxygen in the landfill is depleted. The anaerobic phase then begins, resulting in landfill gas production. There are four stages of landfill gas composition: the first stage is characterized by elevated nitrogen levels and occurs when the landfill is new. The second stage is characterized by elevated carbon dioxide levels and occurs for a relatively short period of time after the initial stage is complete. The third and fourth stages are characterized by elevated methane concentrations and represent the active life of a landfill and the post-closure time frame. Landfill gas is generally composed of 50-55% methane (CH4); 45-50% carbon dioxide (CO2); less than 5% nitrogen (N2); and less than 1% non-methane organic compounds. These individual gases generally remain co-mingled and do not naturally separate. The Solid Waste Section (SWS) Rules typically focus on methane (CH4) and its explosive properties due to public safety issues. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is also of particular concern in landfills and is typically recognized by its rotten egg odor. H2S is immediately dangerous to life and health at concentrations of 100 parts per million (ppm). Landfill Gas Migration The production of landfill gas creates a positive pressure within the landfill that forces the gas to migrate. Landfill gas migrates from place to place by diffusion and pressure gradient and will follow the path of least resistance. Subsurface gas typically migrates above the groundwater table and is restricted laterally by streams. Porous soils lying above the bedrock can serve as pathways to transmit large volumes of gas. Underground off-site migration is common and can be facilitated by the presence of pipelines, buried utility corridors or trenches located within or adjacent to the landfill boundaries. Movement depends on soil type and moisture, and migration distances of 1,500 feet have been observed. Barometric pressure also influences movement. Falling barometric pressure allows methane to migrate out of the landfill and into surrounding areas.   3    SECTION 2 - Factors Influencing Landfill Gas Generation and Migration Factors that affect landfill gas generation and migration through the subsurface include the following: Waste Composition The production of landfill gas is directly related to the amount of organic matter present in waste. The bacteria that break down the waste require small amounts of specific minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and other micronutrients. Bacteria are able to thrive and produce landfill gas if the minerals/micronutrients are present. If the minerals/micronutrients are not present or if substances that inhibit bacterial growth exist, landfill gas production will occur at a reduced rate. Some forms of organic matter such as cellulose break down quickly whereas matter such as lignin breaks down more slowly. The rate at which landfill gas is produced depends on the proportions of each type of organic matter present in the waste. Moisture Content Landfills with higher moisture content generate higher concentrations of landfill gas in earlier stages of development (such as during leachate recirculation). Moisture accelerates the methanogenic process. Temperature Landfill bacteria are temperature dependant. They are able to survive and function below the freezing point, but they also function well at temperatures up to 65°C. Anaerobic bacteria produce small amounts of heat and may not be able to maintain the temperature of a shallow landfill when external temperatures decrease, so LFG generation may exhibit seasonal variations. Saturated landfills may not achieve ideal temperatures because the bacteria do not generate sufficient heat to raise the temperature of the excess water. Higher temperatures promote volatilization and chemical reactions with the waste so the trace gas component of landfill gas tends to increase with higher landfill temperatures. Age of Landfill Typically, landfills have an increasing generation of landfill gas for a number of years until closure at which time landfill gas generation reaches a peak and begins to subside. An evaluation of the age of the landfill and use of a landfill gas generation curve can be helpful in determining the likelihood of significant landfill gas concentrations from the landfill. Landfill Cap The type or presence of landfill cover can influence landfill gas generation and migration. Although a low permeability cap will reduce moisture and landfill gas generation over the longer term, initially, the installation of a landfill cap could drive landfill gas migration further from the landfill in the subsurface without proper ventilation (either passive or active). This is especially true in the case of unlined (unvented) landfills. Water Table Landfill gas movement in unlined landfills may be influenced by groundwater table variations. A rising water table could cause displacement and force upward movement of landfill gas.   4    Man-made and Natural Conduits Structures such as drains, trenches, and buried utility corridors can act as conduits for landfill gas migration. Geologic features including fractured bedrock, porous soil, and permeable strata also provide conduits for landfill gas migration Landfill Liner Conditions The presence of a Subtitle-D (or equivalent) landfill liner has the capability to limit the lateral migration of landfill gas in the subsurface. Unlined landfills have no barrier to prevent lateral landfill gas migration in the subsurface. Weather Conditions Barometric pressure and precipitation have significant effects on landfill gas migration. Increased barometric pressure yields decreased landfill gas venting from the subsurface, until the pressure within the subsurface is greater than the atmospheric (barometric) pressure. Conversely, as the barometric pressure decreases, the landfill will vent the stored gas until pressure equilibrium is reached. Capping of a landfill can influence the effect of barometric pressure on landfill gas migration. Generally, a more permeable landfill cap will allow greater influence by barometric pressure than a less permeable landfill cap.   5    SECTION 3 – Current Solid Waste Section Rules Pertaining to Landfill Gas Monitoring Web link to the 15A NCAC 13B rules - http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wm/sw/rules 15A NCAC 13B .0101- DEFINITIONS .0101 (14) "Explosive gas" means Methane (CH4) .0101(25) "Lower explosive limit" (LEL) means the lowest percent by volume of a mixture of explosive gases which will propagate a flame in air at 25 degrees Celsius and atmospheric pressure. .0503 - SITING AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR DISPOSAL FACILITIES .0503(2) A site shall meet the following design requirements: (a) The concentration of explosive gases generated by the site shall not exceed: (i) twenty-five percent of the limit for the gases in site structures (excluding gas control or recovery system components); and (ii) the lower explosive limit for the gases at the property boundary; .0543 - CLOSURE AND POST-CLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR C&DLF FACILITIES .0543(e) Post-closure criteria.

These regulations were developed over time to protect the health and safety of the citizens of North Carolina and the U.S. from the asphyxiation and explosive hazards of landfill gas. NC Rule History A review of NC landfill guidance documents and regulations from 1972 to the present indicates that from 1972 through 1982, there was no mention of design requirements regarding the control of landfill gas, nor were there any landfill monitoring requirements for landfill gas. In 1982, the regulations were changed to require that sanitary landfill design prevent landfill gas concentrations of 100% LEL at the property boundary line and 25% inside on-site structures. Although a design requirement was added, no design requirement was established to determine if the design requirement was being met. In 1993 with the establishment of .1600 rules, requirements for designs to limit landfill gas levels to below 100% at the property boundary line and 25% in on-site structures and monitoring of landfill gas concentrations around the perimeter of the landfill and inside on-site structures were adopted.   9    SECTION 4 – Landfill Gas Incidents and Explosions Hazards Involving Landfill Gas Landfill fires may or may not be directly caused by landfill gas. The primary concern with these fires is air contamination from the resulting smoke; however they also present a variety of additional problems. In addition to concerns with containing and extinguishing landfill fires, potential reactions involving unknown chemicals in the landfill can cause uncertain hazards. Discarded consumer products in a landfill, such as pesticides, paints, solvents, cleaners, and other material can be the source of chemical releases. Heat from the fire can cause chemicals to volatilize, breakdown, and enter the environment. Also to be considered is the presence of other combustible gases in addition to methane. Whenever an environmental investigation of a landfill is prompted by odorous compounds or explosive gases, the presence of toxic substances should also be investigated. One example is hydrogen sulfide (H2S) that can cause asphyxiation and is flammable. An analysis should include alkyl benzenes, sulfur compounds, vinyl chloride, and methane, and other products associated with industrial wastes, construction and debris waste, and normal organic and inorganic waste. Fires and explosion hazards become a concern when gases collect in confined spaces. Buildings, basements, and pits are typically regarded as confined spaces. However, landfill gases also collect in and migrate to cracks in the landfill cover, leachate “springs”, cracks in adjacent structures, paved parking areas, etc. Fires can occur on the surface and underground. Surface fires involve recently buried waste near the surface in an aerobic decomposing layer, typically 1 to 4 feet below ground. These fires can be intensified by subsurface landfill gas and spread throughout the landfill. Subsurface fires occur deeper within the landfill, involve material buried for months or years, and can burn for days and months. The following is a brief summary of some incidents involving landfill gas migration from landfills: 2007 Four employees died as a result of exposure to high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide while attempting to repair a leachate pump at a C&D landfill in Superior, Wisconsin (Journal of Environmental Heath 2008). 1999 An 8-year old girl was burned on her arms and legs when playing in an Atlanta, Georgia playground. The area was reportedly used as an illegal dumping ground many years ago (Atlanta Journal-Constitution 1999). 1994 While playing soccer in a park built over an old landfill in Charlotte, North Carolina, a woman was seriously burned by a methane explosion (Charlotte Observer 1994). 1987 Offsite landfill gas migration is suspected to have caused a house to explode in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (EPA 1991). 1984 Landfill gas migrated to and destroyed one house near a landfill in Akron, Ohio. Ten houses were temporarily evacuated (EPA 1991). 1983 An explosion destroyed a residence across the street from a landfill in Cincinnati, Ohio. Minor injuries were reported (EPA 1991). 1975 In Sheridan, Colorado, landfill gas accumulated in a storm drain pipe that ran through a landfill. An explosion occurred when several children playing in the pipe lit a candle, resulting in serious injury.   10    1969 Methane gas migrated from an adjacent landfill into the basement of an armory in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. A lit cigarette caused the gas to explode, killing three men and seriously injuring five others (USACE 1984).   11    SECTION 5 - Landfill Gas Monitoring Wells Locations Landfill gas monitoring well locations will be site specific depending upon site geology, depth to groundwater, surface water features, on-site and off-site structures and sensitive receptors. The landfill gas monitoring wells must be spaced no more than 500 feet apart depending upon site specifics. A readily accessible, unobstructed path must be maintained so that landfill gas monitoring wells are always accessible using four-wheel drive vehicles. Regardless of site specifics, the permittee must obtain approval from the Solid Waste Section for the design and installation of any landfill gas monitoring well system. Well Construction and Installation Landfill gas monitoring wells are the same as groundwater monitoring wells with two exceptions. Landfill gas monitoring wells are installed just above the water table within the unsaturated zone and are equipped with a stopcock valve or a quick connect coupling on the cap, which allows for accurate landfill gas measurements. The stopcock valve must be equipped with flexible tubing and a barb connection that will fit the gas meter’s inlet tube. The stopcock valve or a quick connect coupling must be closed between monitoring events. The landfill gas monitoring well must also be capped, locked, and labeled with a permanently affixed identification plate stating the well contractor name and certification number, date of well competition, total depth of well, screen length and well ID number. See detailed schematics of a landfill gas monitoring well (Figure 1). The depth of each landfill gas monitoring well will be site specific depending upon depth to groundwater. Landfill gas monitoring wells must be constructed the same as groundwater monitoring wells as described in 15A NCAC Subchapter 2C. Typically landfill gas monitoring wells must be installed using 2” PVC piping and screen. The screen length, also site specific, must span the majority of the unsaturated zone while still allowing for proper well construction. A North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer must be present to supervise the installation of all landfill gas monitoring wells. The exact locations, screened intervals, and nesting of the wells must be approved by the Solid Waste Section Hydrogeologist prior to landfill gas monitoring well installation. Each landfill gas monitoring well must be surveyed for location and elevation by a North Carolina Registered Land Surveyor. Within thirty (30) days of the completed construction of each new landfill gas monitoring well, the boring log and a diagram of each well including, but not limited to total depth, screened interval and distance above seasonal high water table must be submitted to the Solid Waste Section. The submittal must also include a scaled topographic map showing the location and identification of new, existing and abandoned landfill gas monitoring wells. Nested and Clustered Landfill Gas Monitoring Wells Nested and/or clustered landfill gas monitoring wells may be required in unsaturated zones of 45 feet or more to measure specific depths of the unsaturated zone. Initially, the installation of one long screen shall be sufficient. If a monitoring event shows an exceedance of the lower explosive limit, then the Solid Waste Section may require the installation of nested and/or clustered landfill gas monitoring wells. Abandonment of Wells An abandonment record must be submitted to the Solid Waste Section within 30 (thirty) days of the abandonment of a landfill gas monitoring well. The landfill gas monitoring well(s) must be overdrilled and sealed with grout in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0113(d) and certified by a North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer.   12    Professional Certification The certification statement below must be signed and sealed by a North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer and submitted with the Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan. The landfill gas monitoring plan for this facility has been prepared by a qualified geologist or engineer who is licensed to practice in the State of North Carolina. The plan has been prepared based on first-hand knowledge of site conditions and familiarity with North Carolina solid waste rules and industry standard protocol. This certification is made in accordance with North Carolina Solid Waste Regulations, indicating this Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan should provide early detection of any release of hazardous constituents to the uppermost aquifer, so as to be protective of public health and the environment. No other warranties, expressed or implied, are made. Signed _______________________________ Printed _______________________________ Date _________________________________ Not valid unless this document bears the seal of the above mentioned licensed professional. In addition, the boring logs and/or well diagram must be signed and sealed with the stamp of a North Carolina Registered Land Surveyor.   13    Figure 1 – Landfill Gas Monitoring Well Detail    14    SECTION 6 – Landfill Gas Monitoring Instrumentation The person using the landfill gas monitoring instrument must understand the principles of operation and follow the manufacturer's instructions. This includes calibrating the instrument according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Include the following on the top portion of the landfill gas monitoring form (See example below) : facility name, permit number, type and serial number of gas monitoring instrument, calibration date of the instrument, date and time of field calibration, type of gas used for field calibration (15/15 or 35/50), expiration date of field calibration gas canister, date of landfill gas monitoring event, name and position of sample collector, pump rate of instrument being used, ambient air temperature, and general weather conditions. Verification that the equipment was calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications is also required. When determining which field calibration gas to use, take into consideration the expected levels of methane in the landfill gas monitoring wells. If the methane levels are expected to be low, use the 15/15 gas canister (15% CO2/15% CH4). If the methane levels are expected to be high, use the 35/50 gas canister (35% CO2/50% CH4). For every landfill gas monitoring well, please include the following: verification of sample tube purge prior to each sample taken (should be one minute), the time pumped in seconds (should be at least one minute), barometric pressure, time stabilized reading collected, percent lower explosive limit, percent methane by volume, percent oxygen, percent carbon dioxide, and any observations or comments. The landfill gas monitoring data form (See example below) and results should be retained in the facility’s operating record unless an exceedance has occurred and/or is requested by the Solid Waste Section. Landfill gas monitoring readings from non-calibrated or inaccurately calibrated instruments are not reliable, and will therefore be rejected by the Solid Waste Section. Landfill gas monitoring readings collected with monitoring equipment that was not designed for landfill gas monitoring will also be rejected by the Solid Waste Section. There are several different landfill gas monitoring instruments on the market which may be used in order to obtain all of the information required by the Solid Waste Section. Monitoring Times Monitoring times are also important when conducting landfill gas monitoring. Proper landfill gas monitoring should include sampling during times when landfill gas is most likely to migrate. Landfill gas can migrate and accumulate not only in landfill gas monitoring wells; it can also migrate and accumulate in buildings and other structures. Because subsurface gas pressures are considered to be at a maximum during the afternoon hours, monitoring should be conducted in the afternoon or whenever the barometric pressure is low. Scientific evidence also indicates that weather and soil conditions influence the migration of landfill gas. Barometric pressure and precipitation have significant effects on landfill gas migration. Increased barometric pressure generates decreased landfill gas venting from the subsurface, until the pressure within the subsurface is greater than the atmospheric (barometric) pressure. On the other hand, when the barometric pressure decreases, the landfill will vent the stored gas until a pressure equilibrium is reached. Capping of a landfill can influence the effect of barometric pressure on landfill gas migration. Generally, a more permeable landfill cap will allow greater influence by barometric pressure than a less permeable landfill cap. As a result, landfill gas monitoring should be conducted when the barometric pressure is low and soils are saturated. During the winter season when snow cover is just beginning to melt or when the ground is frozen or ice covered, landfill gas monitoring should be conducted when the barometric pressure is low.   15    Landfill Gas Sampling Procedures Any accumulation of landfill gas in the landfill gas monitoring wells is the result of landfill gas migration. The following procedure is a recommended example for conducting landfill gas monitoring well sampling, but always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions because each instrument will be different. Step 1 – Calibrate the instrument according to the manufacturer’s specifications. In addition, prepare the instrument for monitoring by allowing it to properly warm up as directed by the manufacturer. Make sure the static pressure shows a reading of zero on the instrument prior to taking the first sample. Step 2 – Purge sample tube for at least one minute prior to taking reading. Connect the instrument tubing to the landfill gas monitoring well cap fitted with a stopcock valve or quick connect coupling. Step 3 – Open the valve and record the initial reading and then the stabilized reading. A stable reading is one that does not vary more than 0.5 percent by volume on the instrument’s scale. Step 4 - Record the stabilized reading including the oxygen concentration and barometric pressure. A proper reading should have two percent oxygen by volume or less. If levels of oxygen are higher, it may indicate that air is being drawn into the system giving a false reading. Step 5 – Turn the stopcock valve to the off position and disconnect the tubing. Step 6 – Proceed to the next landfill gas monitoring well and repeat Steps 2 – 5. Landfill Gas Constituent Sampling and Analysis Sampling of landfill gas to determine volume percentages/concentrations of each constituent can be accomplished through the use of canisters which are specifically designed for landfill gas analysis. Several analytical methods are available to determine the concentrations of a variety of constituents. Typically, landfill gas analysis of this type is performed to determine the non-methane organic compounds emission rate for Tier 2 testing under the Clean Air Act (Title V Subpart WWW 60.754). Isotropic identification of landfill methane can be accomplished to identify one source of methane from another. In this case, isotopes of carbon and hydrogen in the methane are analyzed to determine the methane source.   16    NC Division of Waste Management - Solid Waste Section Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form Notice: This form and any information attached to it are "Public Records" as defined in NC General Statute 132-1.
