O. Box 849 Nashville, NC 27856 County Nash County City Nashville, North Carolina Document ID No. 27437 Description Nash County has applied for a horizontal expansion of the Nash County Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) Landfill. The current approved C&D landfill disposal area is 11.3 acres. The proposed new facility permit would add 15.8 acres to the disposal area, for a total of 27.1 acres. No changes are proposed at this time to increase the service area of the landfill (the counties in which wastes are received from) or to increase the incoming rate (tons per day) that the facility is permitted to receive. The C&D Landfill is owned by Nash County and is located south of Duke Road, at 3057 Duke Road, Nashville, and is northwest of Rocky Mount and east of Castalia. The current approved disposal area has an expected life of one to two years. The horizontal expansion would increase the overall life of the facility to approximately year 2053. The total gross volume of the landfill would increase from 785,692 cubic yards to 2,405,358 cubic yards. In November 2011, the Nash County Board of Commissioners voted to approve the proposed expansion of the landfill, after allowing for public comment. The Division of Waste Management has determined that the application for horizontal expansion, which is a substantial amendment to the permit, complies with the requirements of the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules as codified in Solid Waste Management Rules 15A NCAC 13B .0531, et seq. The Division has prepared a draft permit that is now available for public review and comment. The Nash County C&D Landfill is permitted to dispose of construction and demolition debris, inert debris, land clearing debris, and asphalt. The service area of the landfill is Nash County. The C&D landfill facility property consists of approximately 186.6 acres, including buffer areas. The C&D landfill facility is located adjacent to the closed Nash County Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill, permit 6401-MSWLF-1983, and a closed C&D landfill on top of the MSW landfill, permit 6401- CDLF-1999. The entrance to the C&D landfill is currently, and will remain, the same entrance used for the closed MSW landfill.   Permit Structure The permit is divided into two parts, a permit approval to construct, and a permit approval to operate. The permit includes a list of approved documents, and specific conditions for the construction, operation, and monitoring of the landfill units. Owners are required to submit documentation of proper construction for approval prior to operation of each stage of operation. The permit proposed to be issued will be for the life of the site.
