1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE

This Operation Plan has been developed for the Overdale Road Transfer Station located
in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This Operation Plan (Plan) has been prepared in
accordance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Rules 15A NCAC 13B .0402,
Operational Requirements for Transfer Facilities.

The purpose of this Plan is to provide the Owner and Operator with the necessary
information and procedures to properly operate the transfer station in accordance with
all-applicable rules and regulations. This Plan serves as a guide to safely maintain and
operate the transfer station and addresses the following issues:

· Waste acceptance criteria;
· Transfer Station operations;
· Erosion control requirements;
· Drainage control and water protection;
· Disease and vector control;
· Signs and safety requirements;
· Access and security requirements; and
· Transfer Station inspections.

All personnel involved with the management or supervision of the transfer station
operations will be required to review the Plan, and to maintain the transfer station in
conformance with all applicable requirements. A copy of this Plan will be kept on file at
the transfer station at all times.

1.2 TRANSFER STATION LOCATION

The transfer station is located at 5000 Overdale Road, Winston-Salem, North Carolina,
27107. The transfer station building occupies approximately 0.4 acres of the ±11 acre
parcel of property. Access to the transfer station is from a paved entrance road exiting
Overdale Road.

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station
2 Operation Plan
1.3 TRANSFER STATION DESCRIPTION

The transfer station consists of a pre-engineered metal building with a transfer trailer
loading bay equipped with scales, and a separate scale with scalehouse. The transfer
station entrance road and driveways are paved with asphaltic concrete, concrete paving,
or graded aggregate.

The transfer station building consists of a tipping floor with a below floor grade loading
bay located on the north side of the building. Incoming waste collection vehicles dump
municipal solid waste (MSW) directly onto the tipping floor of the transfer station. From
the tipping floor, a front-end loader lifts the waste into open top trailers specifically
designed for hauling MSW. These trailers are located seven (7’) feet below the tipping
floor grade level in the loading bay.

The transfer station building has metal panel walls on three (3) sides with the front side
open for incoming waste loads. In addition, the building has 10-foot high concrete push
walls adjacent to the exterior walls on the back and right side. Incoming waste vehicles
will enter the building through the open front.

The washdown water storage and handling system includes a drain for collection of
washdown water from the loading bay. This drain is located in the covered loading bay
to promote stormwater / leachate separation. In addition to the drains, curbing has been
installed at the entrance and exit of the loading bay to further segregate stormwater and
leachate. The floor of the transfer station is sloped to assure washdown water does not
leave the building. Washdown water flows from the drain to a sump system and is then
pumped to the Winston-Salem Sanitary Sewer System.

The transfer station building apron and loading bays have a concrete paved surface. All
access roads have an asphaltic concrete surface or all-weather construction (gravel
aggregate). The scalehouse is equipped with an above-grade scale.

The Owner of the transfer station is Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC
(Republic), who is responsible for all transfer station operations. Republic owns and
operates many solid waste facilities in North Carolina and will ensure all employees

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station
3 Operation Plan
receive necessary training for waste inspections, operations, and clean up of the transfer
station. A General Manager will manage this transfer station and may be contacted at the
address listed below:

General Manager – Mr. Dennis Moriarty
Republic Services, Inc.
2875 Lowery Street
Winston Salem, NC 27101
[phone]

Republic has contracted with K.R. Drenth Trucking, Inc., 13720 S. Rostner Street, Crestwood,
IL. 60445, [phone] for daily operations. The local contact is Joe Prestandrea, (336) 721-
2452. In general, day-to-day operations will be handled by K.R. Drenth personnel, with periodic
oversight by Republic personnel.

2.0 WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

In accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0402(1), the transfer station will only accept those wastes
which it is permitted to receive. The transfer station accepts municipal solid waste (MSW) (i.e.,
residential, commercial, and industrial waste) and C&D materials. The current service area for
this transfer station includes all North Carolina Counties that fall within a 50 mile radius of the
political border of the City of Winston-Salem. A list of these counties is included in the
Appendix. The transfer station is designed to transfer 600-1500 tons per day of waste. The daily
tonnage rate is subject to change due to fluctuations in the amount of waste delivered to the
transfer station on any given day, and also due to seasonal fluctuations in the waste stream.

Incoming waste is primarily transported to the transfer station by private or public waste haulers.
The vehicles consist of rear, front, and side loader truck types. Commercial and industrial waste
will also be transported to the transfer station by private or public waste haulers.

2.1 RECYCLABLE MATERIAL

Recyclable materials such as newspaper, plastics, etc. may be removed from the waste
stream prior to entering the transfer station. Portions of dry recyclable material such as

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station
4 Operation Plan
metals and cardboard may be separated for recycling at the transfer station, however, no
recyclables will be separated from putrescible garbage.

Recyclable materials will be temporarily stored in roll-off bins or within a designated
portion of the TS tipping floor. Separation of co-mingled recyclable materials, if
required, will be accomplished using the loader bucket, by hand, or by other on-site
equipment.

Recyclable materials may be stored for up to one month or until sufficient volumes are
collected and they can be transported off site. Currently, recyclable materials are hauled
to the Conover Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Catawba County, North Carolina
for processing. Recyclable materials will be weighed at the final processing facility.

2.2 PROHIBITED WASTES

The transfer station will not accept barrels and drums unless they are empty and
perforated sufficiently to ensure that no liquid or hazardous waste is contained in them.
No hazardous or liquid waste will be accepted at the transfer station. In addition, the
transfer station will not accept asbestos material, infectious waste, medical waste, animal
waste, animal carcasses, radioactive waste, lead acid batteries, or white goods. A report
will be prepared for any attempted delivery of waste of which the transfer station is not
permitted to receive, including waste from outside the permitted transfer station service
area. The report will be forwarded to:

North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ)
Solid Waste Section, Division of Waste Management
1646 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1646

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station
5 Operation Plan
3.0 TRANSFER STATION OPERATIONS

The transfer station will typically receive waste Monday through Saturday. The standard
operating hours will be Monday thru Friday 4:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturday 4:00 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. These hours may be extended on occasion depending on the volume and consistency
of the incoming waste stream. The transfer station will typically be closed on Sundays and
designated holidays. However, maintenance or improvement construction may be accomplished
on these days. A sign will be posted at the entrance to the transfer station identifying the hours
of operation.

Since the transfer station will be operated as a tipping floor transfer station, the only equipment
required for safe and effective operation of the transfer station are rubber-tired front-end loaders,
transfer trailer trucks, and the scales. However, additional equipment may be utilized to facilitate
loading operations. The Owner will provide properly trained personnel for daily operations of
the transfer station and primary equipment, backup equipment, and equipment maintenance.
Backup equipment and trucks for transferring and hauling waste will be available on-site and
from local equipment rental companies.

Solid waste leaving the site will be transferred via transfer trailers to the Uwharrie Regional
Landfill in Montgomery County, North Carolina. Alternate disposal sites for waste leaving the
transfer station will be Upper Piedmont Regional Landfill in Person County, North Carolina or
the Foothills Regional Landfill in Caldwell County, North Carolina. These alternate sites can
only be utilized if their approved service areas allow such disposal. In addition, other MSW
Landfills with acceptable service areas may be utilized. NCDEQ will be notified if final disposal
sites change in the future.

3.1 PERSONNEL

The transfer station operations will be supervised by the General Manager. A minimum
of two (2) staff employees, a scalehouse operator, and heavy equipment operator are
required for the daily operation of the transfer station. All employees will be properly
trained in safety procedures and the inspection of incoming wastes (see Section 3.3 -
Inspection of Wastes). Transfer station employees will also direct and coordinate the
movement of collection vehicles into and out of the transfer station.

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station
6 Operation Plan

3.2 TIPPING FLOOR OPERATIONS

Collection vehicles delivering residential, commercial, and industrial waste to the
transfer station will enter the transfer station via the main gate where they will be
required to be weighed on the in-bound scales. Once vehicles have passed the
scalehouse area, they will continue along the access road until reaching the transfer
station. The transfer station building has existing 10-foot high concrete push walls along
one side and the rear of the tipping floor, and a depressed loading bay, located along the
left side of the tipping floor below the tipping floor elevation. A four (4’) foot high
concrete push wall divides the tipping floor and the loading bay.

The Transfer Station Attendant will direct vehicles, waiting to unload, to back into the
transfer station through the west side of the building. Once there is sufficient room to
maneuver on the concrete floor, the vehicles will back onto the tipping floor to an
unloading area designated by the Attendant. When the vehicle is in position, the waste
load will be discharged directly onto the tipping floor and the driver will be instructed to
slowly move the vehicle away from the tipping floor, and exit the transfer station. The
heavy equipment operator will continuously push dumped waste towards the north end
of the tipping floor. The waste will be placed in the open-top transfer trailers located in
the loading bay of the transfer station.

The lower loading bay area (below floor grade) has been designed to provide sufficient
space for drivers to exit their vehicles and to walk to safety in the event of an emergency.

During times when several vehicles are at the transfer station, haulers will be instructed
to wait at the truck staging area adjacent to the transfer area until there is sufficient room
at the tipping floor within the transfer building. The size of the tipping floor will allow
up to four (4) trucks to dump simultaneously.

The transfer station is designed so that washdown water can be collected by a drain
located in the pit area on the lower level of the transfer station. Washdown water
remaining on the tipping floor will be collected using absorbing agents and emptied into
transfer trailers for disposal in an approved transfer station. Washdown water that

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station
7 Operation Plan
reaches the loading bay will flow into the sump. From the sump, washdown water will
be pumped into the Winston-Salem Sanitary Sewer System.

The tipping floor will be cleared of all wastes at the end of each working day. No
putrescible wastes or free liquids are allowed to remain on the transfer station tipping
floor at the end of the working day.

3.3 INSPECTION OF WASTES

Access to the transfer station is controlled by the Scale Operator located at the entrance
to the transfer station. All waste entering the transfer station must pass the scalehouse
prior to entering the tipping floor area. As waste is deposited onto the tipping floor, an
employee who has received proper training will conduct a visual inspection of the waste
materials. Should unacceptable waste be found, the driver of the vehicle will be
instructed to terminate unloading and the unacceptable waste material will be re-loaded
into the vehicle for removal from the site. Waste Collection Agreements will be kept on
file for each of the waste delivery accounts, allowing the transfer station Operator to
maintain accountability for the different haulers utilizing the transfer station.
Additionally, the transfer station shall randomly select one (1) vehicle per day for
random waste screening. The material from this load shall be spread, and a list of items
in that load should be listed. This form shall be retained by the transfer station. Should a
hauler consistently deliver unacceptable material, he will be denied further access to the
transfer station, and the local office of NC DEQ will be notified so that appropriate
investigations can be conducted if necessary. In addition, all actions specified in Section
2.0 (WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA) will be strictly adhered to by the transfer
station Operator and its employees.

3.4 TRAFFIC CONTROL

Access to the transfer station is controlled by the Scalehouse Operator. All vehicles
arriving at the transfer station are directed to the tipping floor area by the Scalehouse
Operator after their weight is recorded. The Site Attendant will direct the vehicle to the
unloading area, as outlined in Section 3.2. The flow of traffic will be aided by
directional signs.

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station
8 Operation Plan

3.5 HOUSEKEEPING AND LITTER CONTROL

All incoming waste vehicles are required to have their loads tarped upon arrival at the
transfer station, or the load must be fully enclosed. Outbound transfer trailers are also
required to tarp their loads. Throughout the day and at the end of each day, transfer
station personnel will police the building and surrounding areas for any windblown litter.
Since the transfer station is enclosed on three (3) sides, wind blown litter should not be a
major operational concern. Any wind blown litter discovered at the end of an operating
day will be collected and stored in a transfer trailer vehicle, or an on-site trash bin for
proper disposal.

3.6 NOISE CONTROL

Noise will be created at the transfer station from vehicular traffic and operation of the
transfer station equipment. Noise from the collection and transfer vehicles, as well as the
rubber-tired front-end loader servicing the transfer station, are all reduced by mufflers.
Other noise generated within the building from waste handling is significantly abated by
the structure that encloses the transfer station.

3.7 ODOR CONTROL

Odors are controlled by prompt unloading and transfer of all delivered wastes at the
transfer station. Adequate fresh air exchange is ensured through the open front of the
building and the openings in the loading bay. The only time waste is stored temporarily
at the transfer station is when a transfer trailer is loaded at the end of the day and must
wait until the landfill disposal site opens the following day, or at the end of a weekend or
holiday. In such cases, the waste will be stored in covered transfer trailers or roll-off
boxes.

The transfer station may utilize a mechanical odor control system if the above items fail
to adequately control odors. However, under normal operating conditions, an odor
control system is not required at the transfer station.

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station
9 Operation Plan
4.0 EROSION CONTROL REQUIREMENTS

Areas adjacent to the transfer station are graded away from the transfer station and drain via
sheet run-off or through drainage ditches. Standard erosion and sedimentation control practices,
such as vegetating exposed slopes and directing stormwater into ditches have been implemented
at the site. Additional surface drainage dikes, berms, curbs, inlets, and other devices have been
installed to assure leachate does not enter the storm drainage system.

5.0 DRAINAGE CONTROL AND WATER PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS

The transfer station will be operated to prevent storm water from coming in contact with waste,
and to contain and properly dispose washdown water.

The tipping floor and transfer loading bay will be emptied at the end of each operating day. Any
free liquid on the tipping floor will be collected using absorbing agents and properly disposed.

Washdown water collected in the drain in the loading bay will be pumped into the Winston-
Salem Sanitary Sewer System.

6.0 DISEASE AND VECTOR CONTROL

The transfer station will provide effective vector control measures for the protection of human
health and the environment. Disease vectors are defined as any rodent, flies, mosquitoes, or
other animals, including insects, capable of transmitting disease to humans.

Control of disease vectors will be maintained by implementation of a daily cleaning program that
involves removal of waste and wastewater from the transfer station operating areas. The removal
of waste at the end of each operating day will protect against migration of vectors into and from
the transfer station. The Transfer Station Operator may also use insecticides or pest control
professionals to accomplish these goals. Stagnant ponded water will be prevented from
occurring to control mosquito breeding. If problems controlling disease vectors occur, a pest
control professional will be employed.

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station
10 Operation Plan
7.0 SIGN AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

7.1 SIGN REQUIREMENTS

The transfer station will post signs at the entrance indicating operational procedures,
hours of operation, and the permit number. Signs will be clearly posted stating that no
hazardous or liquid waste can be received. Traffic signs and markers will be provided as
necessary to promote an orderly traffic pattern to and from the unloading area, and to
maintain efficient operating conditions.

7.2 OPEN BURNING OF WASTE

Open burning of waste is prohibited at the transfer station.

7.3 FIRE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT

Fire suppression equipment will be provided to control accidental fires, and
arrangements will be made with the local fire department to immediately provide fire-
fighting services when needed. The transfer station building will be equipped with an
appropriate number of fire extinguishers to effectively control accidental fires. The fire
department will be invited to visit the transfer station periodically to inspect for
deficiencies or suggested improvements.

7.4 NOTIFICATION OF FIRE

Fires that occur at the transfer station require verbal notice to the Solid Waste Section’s
Environmental Senior Specialist for Forsyth County within 24 hours, and written
notification shall be submitted within 15 days. The most recent version of the NC DEQ
Fire Occurrence Notification Form should be used and may be downloaded from the
Section’s website. Verbal and written notification will be submitted to:

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station

Solid Waste Section, Division of Waste Management
1646 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1646

For verbal notifications during normal business hours, call 919-707-8200.

8.0 ACCESS AND SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

8.1 TRANSFER STATION ACCESS AND SECURITY

The transfer station must be secured by means of gates, chains, berms, fences, and other
security measures to prevent unauthorized entry. All vehicles delivering waste to the
transfer station will enter and exit through the access control gate. Chain-link fencing,
wooded areas, and drainage ditches surrounding the transfer station property prevent
unauthorized vehicle access to the transfer station.

8.2 ATTENDANT

The transfer station will have a full-time Scalehouse Operator located in the scalehouse
during operating hours. In addition, a Transfer Station attendant will be at the transfer
station at all times during operating hours. Both the Scalehouse Operator and Transfer
Station Attendant will be responsible for verifying that all vehicles comply with the
permitted operational requirements.

8.3 ACCESS ROAD

The access roads for the transfer station have been constructed of an all-weather surface
(asphalt or graded aggregate) and will be maintained in good condition. Potholes, ruts,
and debris on the paved surfaces will receive immediate attention in order to avoid
damage to the vehicles. Access road shoulders will be regraded as necessary to maintain
positive slope for adequate drainage. Since collection and transfer vehicles travel at low
speeds on paved roads, dust generation is not anticipated to be a problem. Should dust
control become necessary, a water truck will be utilized.

Revised April 2017 Overdale Road Transfer Station
12 Operation Plan
9.0 TRANSFER STATION INSPECTIONS

There will be regular inspections conducted at the transfer station. Inspections will be conducted
by site personnel who are familiar with the operations of the transfer station. Items that will be
inspected monthly will include, but not be limited to, the following:

1. Transfer trailers;
2. Push walls;
3. Fire extinguishers;
4. Electrical controls;
5. Trench drain, floor drains, and yard hydrant;
6. Washdown water collection sump and pump; and
7. Oil/Water Separator

Records of all transfer station inspections will be maintained in the scalehouse.

If unsatisfactory conditions are noted during the inspection, or by the transfer station personnel at
any other time, the concerns shall be reported to the General Manager. If a threat to safety or to
the environment is identified, immediate action shall be taken to correct the situation. If
necessary, operations at the transfer station will be suspended temporarily until the proper
corrective actions have been taken.

In addition to these records, random inspection forms discussed in Section 3.3 shall be
retained by the transfer station.
