Subject: Determination of Completeness – Application Incomplete
Buncombe County Transfer Station
Buncombe County, Permit # 1108T-TRANSFER-1996, Document ID 27638

Mr. Creighton,

The Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section (Section) has received your application
submittal for the construction of a new transfer station building (DIN 27628) at the above
referenced facility. The application was submitted on your behalf by Environmental Infrastructure
Consulting, PLLC and was received in the Asheville Regional Office on April 11, 2017.

The submittal has been reviewed for completeness in accordance with General Statute 130A-
295.8(e). A determination of completeness means that the application includes all required
components but does not mean the required components provide all of the information that is
required for the Section to make a decision on the application. The zoning approval letter required
by Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0401(2) and a discussion on the management of excavated wastes have
not been submitted so the application is deemed incomplete.

In order to complete the application and continue the review, the following items must be
submitted:
1. An approval letter from the unit of local government having zoning authority over the
area where the facility is to be located, stating that the proposed facility meets all the
requirements of the local zoning ordinance, or that the site is not zoned;
2. A discussion on the management of excavated waste and the cover of exposed waste at
the conclusion of each working day. In accordance with Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0401(3),
this information is pertinent given construction of the new transfer station requires the
excavation of waste from the on-site pre-regulatory landfill.

If you should have any questions regarding this matter please contact me at [phone], or
by email at [e-mail] .
