Currently the City of Greensboro has no plans to modify the current development plan but reserves the right to recapture the additional space if needed in the future. b. According to the drawing Sheet C-01- Fill Plan, the C&DLF unit will be operated by series of fill sequences - Lift 1 through Lift 6, which are not consistent with those specified in the Permit Condition No. 6, Attachment 3 of the current permit dated March 30, 2012 (DIN 16015). If the City proposes to modify the approved 5-Lift to 6-Lift fill sequences, please provide the operating capacity (in cubic yard) of each of the proposed six (6) lifts. Please note that operating capacity of the final lift (Lift 6) should include the volume of the final cover system described in the Appendix F - Closure Plan. Drawing Sheet C-01, Fill Plan, in Appendix H has been revised. This application identifies the filling plan for this life of site permit. The C&D material is filled in approximately 10 foot lifts across the active area. Actual sequence and lift thickness may vary based on site conditions. c. Please provide the volume of soil required for the landfill operation and closure activities according to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0537(e)(2). The detail calculations & assumptions to determine the soil quantities should be included in the section. Will there be sufficient soil from the on-site borrow pits to cover the operations and closure of the landfill unit? Please clarify. Section 12.1 of the Operations Plan has been revised to provide soil requirements for operational use. Anticipated soil for closure activities is provided in Section 1.4 of the Closure/Post-Closure Plan. Soil materials will need to come from on site stockpiles and/or off-site. 2. Please provide the additional information to the Operations Plan. i. (Section 12.1) According to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0542(f)(l), the City must "cover the solid waste with six inches of earthen material when the waste disposal area exceeds one-half acre AND (not "or") at least once weekly." Please revise the cover requirement in this section accordingly. Section 12.1 of the Operations Plan has been modified as requested. ii. (Section 12.2) According to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0542(f)(2) and Section 19 of the Operations Plan, an inactive area without receiving permitted wastes for disposal for THREE (3) months, not 12 months, shall be covered by an intermediate cover. Please revise the frequency for placing intermediate cover in Section 12.2. 2 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application Section 12.2 of the Operations Plan has been modified as requested. iii. (Section 14.0) The City should also monitor the concentrations of hydrogen sulfate at the C&DLF unit. Additionally, the SWS requests the City submit a separate cover or stand-alone landfill gas monitoring plan for this C&DLF unit according to the guidance document which can be downloaded from the following link. Please provide the landfill gas monitoring plan for this C&DLF unit. https://ncdenr.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs- public/Waste%20Management/DWM/SW/Field%20Operations/Environmental%20Monit oring/LandfillGasMonitoringGuidanceDocument.pdf Section 14.0 of the Operations Plan has been updated to include hydrogen sulfide gas. The Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan has been added as Appendix G. iv. (Section 15.0) Does each landfill equipment/machinery equipped with a fire extinguisher? Please clarify. Additionally, the SWS has a standard fire incidence report form can be used for reporting a fire/explosion, should it occur. If the City agrees to use the form, please download and append the form to the Operations Plan. The web link is http://ncdenr.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs- public/Waste%20Management/DWM/SW/Forms/FireOccurrenceReport.pdf The city has a fire extinguisher in each piece of landfill equipment and machinery. The Fire Occurrence form has been added to the Operations Plan as requested. v. (Section 16.0) Please state the landfill service area(s) - the City of Greensboro and Guilford County which is consistent to the permit dated March 30, 2012 (DIN 16015). Section 16.0 of the Operations Plan has been modified to state the service area is the City of Greensboro and Guilford County. vi. (Section 16.2) To clearly understand the frequency of random waste screen at the C&DLF unit, please state the minimum truck per day will be subject to waste screening. According to latest Facility Compliance Inspection Report for the C&DLF unit dated October 26, 2016, Comment No. 16 states that the facility is required to conduct a minimum of one (1) waste screen per day. If the City will continue this practice, please state the fact to this section. Section 16.2 of the Operations Plan Section has been modified to state a minimum of one truck per day will be screened. vii. (Section 19.0) To be consistent with the practice stated in Section 12.2 and Rule 15A NCAC 138 .0542(f)(2), please clear define the "vegetative cover" in this section. 3 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application Section 19.0 of the Operations Plan has been modified to define vegetative cover. viii. (Section 21.0) A landfill gas collection and control system (LFGCCs) is operating at this landfill unit (Phase II). Please describe the well field [ wells (numbers and depths), condensate traps, air piping (gradients & sizes), operation and maintenance requirements including the responsible parties & contact info, NC air permit number(s), condensate removal & disposal procedures, measures to protect the system from interrupting active landfill operations, and etc. This facility operates under NCDEQ Air Quality Permit No.08830T06. A copy of the permit has been added to Appendix A, Related Correspondence. For specifics of the system and design please contact the NCDEQ Division of Air Quality. ix. (Section 21.0) Please provide the procedures or corrective measures to prevent leachate outbreak(s) on the side slope(s) of the landfill units - both MSWLF & C&DLF units, should it occur. The procedures/corrective measures are required for the post- closure period as well. The landfill prevents leachate breakouts by maintaining the proper thickness of intermediate cover and repairing erosion rills as necessary. In the event of a leachate breakout the landfill staff would place additional soil cover in the area and re-vegetate. Section 21 of the Operations Plan has been revised to include this information. 3. Please provide the additional information of the Closure and Post-Closure Plan. i. Please describe the landfill gas vents/wells to be installed at the final cover system including the frequency, such as one vent/well per acre. The typical drawing of a gas vent/well must be provided to the Closure Plan drawing(s). The Closure Plan Section 1.2 has been modified to include the gas venting system. A landfill gas well detail has been added as Appendix F-2 of the Closure Plan. ii. (Section 1.10) Closure cost estimate is placed in Appendix F-1, not E-1. Please correct the typo. Section 1.10 of the Closure/Post Closure Plan has been corrected. iii. (Section 2.1) Please provide the extent (in acreage) of the landfill unit (including the closed unlined MSWLF and the C&DLF unit) that will be subject to 30-year post-closure cares. Section 2.1 of the Closure/Post Closure Plan has been revised. The landfill unit is 135 acres. The Phase II MSW was closed in 1998. The 90 acre C&D landfill portion currently consists of 59 closed acres and 31 active acres. 4 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application iv. (Section 2.4) The operation of the existing LFGCCs is likely to be terminated in the end of the 30-year post-closure period; therefore, please provide a decommission plan for the system which includes, in a minimum, removal of system components (including the flare station) to an off-site location for recycling or disposal, disposal of in-line gas condensate & wastes, capping gas/condensate lines, gas well abandonment procedures, restoration of the final cover system, etc. The decommissioning costs must be included in the post closure estimates. Please be advised that the LFGCCs may be owned or operated by a third party, but the City is the landfill property owner/operator who is ultimately responsible for the operation, maintenance and decommissioning of the LFGCCs. To decommission the LFGCCs, the wellheads will be removed to allow passive venting, the condensate lines will be drained and capped and the flare and blower will be sold or recycled. HDR has assumed the value of the flare and blower will offset the cost to pull the wellheads and therefore the decommissioning costs are negligible. v. (Section 2.4) Please describe the maintenance requirements of the landfill gas monitoring system/network (8 gas wells and 4 surface according to Drawing CD-79B) in consistent with the cost estimate item. Section 2.4.5 of the Closure/Post Closure Plan has been modified to address both groundwater and gas well maintenance. vi. (Section 2.5) Please add the inspection frequencies and requirements of the landfill gas monitoring system/network. Table 2 in Section 2.5 of the Closure/Post Closure plan has been modified to address the landfill gas monitoring system/network inspection frequencies and requirements. vii. (Section 2.7) Post-Closure cost estimate is placed in Appendix F-1, not E-1. Please correct the typo. Section 2.7 of the Closure/Post-Closure Plan has been corrected. 4. (Appendix F-1) i. Cap Maintenance Item should include costs for correcting cap settlement / subsidence as described in Section 2.4.3 of the Post-Closure Plan. Settlement and subsidence directly affects the surface water flow and erosion on the cap. Therefore, cost for correcting cap settlement/subsidence has already been included in the Erosion Control and Surface Water Control line items. 5 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application ii. The costs associated with semi-annual surface water monitoring/sampling (at five locations) are not included in the post-closure estimate. Please provide the costs. The cost of surface water monitoring and sampling has already been included in the “Groundwater Sampling/Lab and Report (semiannual)” line item. The title of that line item has been updated to “Groundwater and Surface Water Sampling/Lab and Report (semiannual)” in order to clearly define the surface water inclusion. iii. Pursuant to NCGS 130A-295.2(h), the City shall include two million dollars for potential assessment and corrective action at the landfill facility to the local government financial test. This cost is additional to the one for on-going groundwater correction activities at the landfill facility. See “Other: Assessment Corrective Action – Permit 41-03” line item listed in Appendix F1 in the amount of $2,118,712. iv. According to the letter dated November 15, 2016 issued by the City, the estimated cost for the on-going groundwater correction at the landfill facility is $1,567,941 in 2012-dollar value. The inflation factors from 2013 through 2016 (1.018, 1.015, 1.014, and 1.010, respectively) shall be used for adjust the 2012 cost for the approved correction activities. The factors can be downloaded from the link http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste- management/solid-wastesection/financial-assurance-for-solid-waste-management- facilities The cost for groundwater correction in 2016-dollar value is approximately $1,659,216, but it may be subject to change pending the approval of the SWS (Referring the enclosed comments issued by SWS Compliance Hydrogeologist on January 11, 2017). Please revise the cost in the local government financial test accordingly. See updated Summary of Financial Assurance letter dated 9-Mar-17 in Appendix F1 for response. The correct inflation factors have been used; the principle amount as been decreasing since 2012 due to the task being completed in 2012 and thus entering the 30 year compliance period. 5. Appendix G -Drawings i. (Sheet C-01- Fill Plan) Please address the following comments on this drawing: a. The thickness of "existing intermediate cover" shown on the Typical Cap System is 6 inches, which is inconsistent with that (12 inches) described in the section of the Operations Plan. Please clarify. 6 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application Intermediate cover is required to be a minimum of 12 inches thick. The City plans to reclaim the top six inches for soil cap material. Section 12.2 of the Operations Plan has been modified to state this. b. Please indicate/note the maximum side slope of the final cover system is four (horizontal) to one (vertical) on the cross-section drawings. Sheet C-01 has been revised as requested. c. In the Note Field, please use the correct volume of the approved total gross capacity of 2,525,443 CY consisting operating capacity (volumes of wastes & periodic & intermediate cover material) and volume of the final cover system (referring Comment No. 1 iii). The Sheet C-01 notes have been revised as requested. d. Have the closed areas (a total of 34 acres) been incorporated into the Site Layout & Cross-Section drawings? Please clarify. Closed areas have been incorporated into the Overall Site Plan (CD-77B). ii. (Overall Site Plan, CD-77B) Please provide the following information on this drawing: a. The waste footprint (in acreage) of the unlined closed MSWLF (Phase II). Sheet CD-77B has been revised as requested. b. The waste footprint (in acreage) of the remaining active C&DLF unit on top of the MSWLF (Phase II). Sheet CD-77B has been revised as requested. c. The waste footprint (in acreage) of the permanently closed C&DLF unit (Part I Closure - 8 acres in 2013 & Part 2 Closure - 26 acres in 2015, respectively). Please use different legends on the drawing to differentiate the active and permanently closed C&DLF unit. The provided information on the drawing will be incorporated into the new life-of-site permit and approval processes of the financial assurance. Sheet CD-78B has been revised to differentiate the active and closed C&D unit. 6. The Solid Waste Section (SWS) Compliance Hydrogeologist has some comments on the groundwater corrective action at the C&DLF unit/closed unlined MSWLF (Phases II) which is enclosed in this letter for you to review and respond. 7 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application Questions from the SWS Compliance Hydrogeologist have been included in this response letter, along with the corresponding responses. i. I understand that monthly inspections for the phytoremediation stand are not being conducted in accordance with the approved CAP, and there has not been written approval from the Section of this deviation. Please clarify. A request for revision in the EBuffer inspection schedule was submitted to NCDEQ and approved on March 7, 2017. An excerpt from the approval letter is provided below; the full request and approval letters have been added to Appendix A of this permit application. “…The City of Greensboro is requesting the following regarding changes to the inspections for the Northern and Southern Ebuffers (Phytoremediation stands): • Twice per year conduct full inspections of the Ebuffers, one during the Spring new growth, and the other during late Summer to early Fall before the trees begin to change color. A phytoremediation assessment log for the Northern and Southern Ebuffers would be completed at this time. • Monthly inspections of the Ebuffers including visual observations for animal damage, the need to mow the grass between the rows of trees and along the outer perimeter trees, and the need for weed control around the base of the trees. As a result, the Ebuffer Inspection Schedule Revision Request is approved as described…” ii. The last monitoring report received for the April 2016 monitoring event indicates a 2B surface water exceedance of VC within the sample collected from SMW3. Please determine how the City is going to address this surface water concern since this surface water monitoring location is being used to determine the effectiveness of the phytoremediation stand near well II-9. SMW-3 is a groundwater Sentinel Monitoring Well and not a surface water sample. Jaclynne Drummond informed the City of Greensboro that no action is required. iii. The last CAER submitted was in May 2012. CAERs are submitted every five years, and therefore the next CAER is due this year. What is the status of this submittal so it may be incorporated within the life of site permit The City has recently changed environmental consultants and as a part of this change the CAER report is scheduled to be completed before the end of the 2017 calendar year (likely before September 2017). 8 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application iv. An updated cost for the ongoing groundwater corrective action in 2016 dollars for financial assurance is required. A copy of the City of Greensboro Financial Assurance, previously submitted to the state of North Carolina is included in this as Appendix F1.

The information contained in this submittal is intended to fulfill the requirements of North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0535(b) for the amendment of the operating permit. 1.1 Background Information In November of 1995, HDR, on behalf of the City of Greensboro, submitted a Transition Plan for the Phase II sanitary landfill of the White Street Landfill. The Transition Plan was approved in July of 1996, and Olver Incorporated certified closure of the sanitary landfill in March of 1999. After North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) approval of the Transition Plan, the City of Greensboro submitted a permit application to dispose of C&D over top of the closed municipal solid waste (MSW) in Phase II. NCDEQ issued the original C&D over MSW permit for Phase II in July of 1998. The following is a history of the C&D permits received for the White Street C&D Landfill. A copy of the current PTO, issued in 2012, is included in Appendix A of this permit amendment. Permit Type Date Issued Permit to Operate (PTO) – Stage I January 7, 1998 PTO Modification – Stage II October 7, 1998 PTO Modification – Stage III April 15, 2000 PTO Amendment – Continued Operation May 25, 2006 PTO Amendment – Continued Operation March 30, 2012 1.2 Responsible Party The individual responsible for the operation and maintenance of the site is the Solid Waste Disposal Manager for the City of Greensboro: Solid Waste Disposal Manager (336) 412-3959 2503 White Street Greensboro, NC 27405 1.3 Projected Use after Closure After closure of the landfill, the site will be maintained and monitored. No post-closure uses have been identified or are planned for the site at this time. City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Engineering Plan Engineering and Design 2.0 Engineering and Design 2.1 Existing Features An overall Site Plan with the existing features of the site can be found on Drawing CD-77B. This drawing displays features of the facility such as, unlined closed MSW Phase II (135 ac), permitted C&D Landfill (26 ac), closed C&D Landfill (34 ac), active C&D landfill (31 ac), borrow/stockpile areas and maintenance facilities. 2.2 Facility Design This site maintains the following regulatory buffers (per Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0540 (1): • A 50-foot buffer between property line and waste. • A 500-foot buffer from private dwellings and wells to waste. • A 50-foot buffer from streams and rivers to waste. 2.3 Final Grading Plan The proposed top of intermediate cover grades for the remaining portion of Phase II can be found on Drawing C-02. The proposed grades are 4 horizontal to 1 vertical (4H:1V) and reach an elevation of 870 feet above mean sea level. The final cap thickness is an additional two feet on top of the intermediate grades. 2.4 Airspace Calculations The permitted gross capacity of the C&D landfill from the March 12, 2012 Permit to Operate (PTO) is 2,525,443 cubic yards. The current total gross capacity of the C&D landfill on top of the closed MSW landfill is 2,370,000 cubic yards at 4H:1V sideslopes after revised intermediate grades were sent to NCDEQ on February 21, 2014. Through June 2016, approximately 1,722,981 tons of waste has been disposed of at the C&DLF consuming 1,450,536 cubic yards. This equates to a waste density of 1.19 tons per cubic yard. Over the past five years the average annual waste accepted is 37,531 tons. Based on the cumulative waste density and five year average annual tonnage the remaining capacity would be full in October 2042.

Benches will be graded to drain to sediment basins. All aspects of the current operation of the facility are anticipated to continue. Operation hours are currently from 7:00 a.m. to 4:50 p.m., Monday through Friday and 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays. The landfill is closed on Sundays and specified holidays. These hours and days of operation are subject to change. Staff will be stationed in the scalehouse to screen and manage incoming trucks, while an additional staff person will be responsible for handling the daily placement of waste. Information regarding on-site equipment and other operational issues is included in the Operations Plan in Appendix C. The site currently has a lockable gate at the main entrance from White Street, which is locked at the end of each working day. Fencing has been constructed around the site to further control access. In the event there is a period when the scales are temporarily out of operation, the incoming material will be handled on a cubic-yardage basis. The same scales and scale house will continue to be used for the vertical expansion. Please refer to the Operations Plan in Appendix C for more information on the operations of the facility. 3.1 Filling Procedures Please see the Operations Plan in Appendix C for the filling procedures. 3.2 Site Development/Proposed Final Contours Please refer to Drawing C-02 for the proposed top of intermediate cover contours for the active C&D landfill.

Materials Contingency Plan ii City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Introduction 1.0 Introduction The purpose of this section is to identify protocols for the overall operation and maintenance of the White Street Landfill Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) disposal facility. This plan has been prepared in accordance with North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) rules. A detailed drawing of the landfill’s development from existing conditions to final contours is presented in Appendix G of the 2016 Permit Amendment. By definition, the C&D waste stream is originated solely from construction, demolition, and remodeling or repair operations on pavement, buildings or other structures. In addition, the NCDEQ Division of Waste Management (DWM) has approved other inert wastes (such as land clearing debris, but not yard waste) if they can be demonstrated to be inert through the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure. The current waste screening program will continue to be utilized by the landfill staff for determination of accurate disposal areas and the prevention of prohibited wastes as described in Rule .542 (e). The City of Greensboro proposes to continue operation of the current C&D disposal site as previously approved and permitted May 25, 2006 (Permit #41-03). The proposed disposal area continues to operate within the area of the facility known as Phase II which is a closed MSWLF unit subject to the appropriate section of the .1600 rules (Drawing CD-77B). Regulatory closure of Phase II has been previously certified as closed in accordance with promulgated guidelines. 2.0 Personnel Structure Responsibility for overall facility management and operation rests with the Solid Waste Disposal Manager. Solid Waste Disposal Manager (336) 412-3959 2503 White Street Greensboro, NC 27405 This individual is designated as the contact person for regulatory compliance, and is responsible for ensuring adequate personnel and equipment in order to operate the facility in compliance with approved permit documents and the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules. Landfill supervisory staff includes the Solid Waste Disposal Manager, the Landfill Supervisor, the Environmental Compliance Supervisor, the Yard Waste and Compost Supervisor, and the Scalehouse Supervisor. In addition to the supervisory staff, the landfill now operates with full time heavy equipment operators, full time heavy equipment mechanics, full time maintenance workers, full time heavy equipment operators at the yard waste and compost site, landfill technicians, and full time scale operators. 1 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Personnel Certifications and Training 3.0 Personnel Certifications and Training The Solid Waste Disposal Manager and Landfill Supervisor maintain their certifications as a Manager of Landfill Operations (MOLO), issued by the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA). In compliance with North Carolina GS 130-309.25, all heavy equipment operators and the landfill technician maintain certification as Landfill Operation Specialists as issued by the North Carolina Chapter of SWANA (NCSWANA). These staff members are then continuously recertified through on-site training as well as through industry and NCSWANA events. All training records are available at the scalehouse. Personnel trained in landfill operations are on duty at all times while the facility is open for public use and at all times during active waste management operations. 4.0 Hours of Operation The landfill is open for operation between the hours of 7:00 AM and 4:50 PM, Monday through Friday and from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday. The landfill is closed on Sundays except where prior permission has been granted to receive wastes for special instances such as a natural disaster. The observed holidays are New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The sign giving the hours of operation for the landfill is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Hours of Operation Figure 2 Landfill Rules 2 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Equipment Requirements 5.0 Equipment Requirements The landfill will utilize two compactors and two bulldozers. The landfill will utilize a bulldozer for soil placement in the routine covering of the waste. Also available for operational and compliance activities are a motorgrader and water truck. A full inventory list of current equipment and landfill personnel is presented in Table 1. Equipment is subject to change based on operational needs. Table 1 Equipment and Personnel Equipment Quantity Bulldozers 4 Landfill Compactor 2 Motorgrader 1 Track Excavator 1 Articulated Dump Trucks 2 Position Manager 1 Landfill Supervisor 1 Environmental Supervisor 1 Scalehouse Supervisor 1 Heavy Equipment Operators (full time) 5 Heavy Equipment Operators (part time) 2 Heavy Equipment Mechanics 2 Maintenance Workers 2 Landfill Technician 1 Scale Operators 2 6.0 Inclement Weather Operations During periods of heavy rainfall or other adverse weather conditions, the working face of the waste disposal area will be kept as close as possible to the landfill service roads while allowing for safe and orderly dumping from the haulers. The waste will be covered in compliance with applicable regulations. 7.0 Traffic Routing An entrance sign is posted on the front gate stating operating hours as well as emergency contact information (Figure 1). An additional sign is also posted immediately inside the front gate stating the facility name, permit number, operating hours (Figure 2), landfill rules and a list of banned disposal items. Signs are posted at regular intervals along the landfill access roads indicating speed limit and directions to the applicable disposal area (Figure 3). 3 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Litter Control Figure 3 Traffic Routing All trucks entering the landfill are required to weigh in at one of two scales at the scalehouse. The scales are operated by North Carolina Department of Agriculture Certified Weigh masters. The scales are calibrated and cleaned on a regular basis. Automobiles and pickup trucks are also required to weigh in. The roads that allow access to the site and to monitoring locations are of all weather construction and maintained in good condition. 8.0 Litter Control Litter control is a prime requisite in the proper operation of the landfill. In order to effectively control litter and windblown debris, the working face is kept as small as possible and waste is compacted as soon as possible after unloading. Cover material is applied at least once weekly and when the working face exceeds one-half acre. Cover is available daily and will be placed at more frequent intervals if necessary to control blowing litter. Temporary litter fences will be installed downwind of and in close proximity to the working face to prevent windblown debris. The disposal area as well as the landfill property and the streets feeding into the landfill are inspected and any fugitive debris is removed on a daily basis. 9.0 Odor, Noise, and Dust Control Odors which emanate from the management of C&D wastes are generally limited to within a short distance of the working face. The covering of the wastes as required prevents odors from becoming a nuisance. The access road from the scalehouse to the waste disposal unit is paved. All other service and operating roads on the operating landfill unit are graded and maintained with stone as 4 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Waste Placement necessary to maintain smooth, well-drained surfaces. During dry conditions, operating roads will be sprayed with water to control dust issues. The paved access roads are washed periodically to maintain an overall neat appearance of the landfill. Noise resulting from landfill equipment is limited to the period of time during operating hours. To further reduce the possibility of noise nuisance, a vegetative buffer of coniferous and deciduous trees and other vegetation is maintained between the operating areas and other areas not designated for landfill operations. All landfill equipment is equipped with mufflers or similar noise-dampening devices. The on-site landfill maintenance facility maintains all landfill equipment in top operating condition further eliminating potential noise nuisances from equipment operations. 10.0 Waste Placement Waste will only be disposed of inside the area labeled limits of C&D waste as shown on Drawing CD-77B. Drawing CD-77B also indicates the buffers as maintained. The existing contours of the current waste placement operation as well as closed MSW areas are identified on Drawing C- 01. Waste is to be placed vertically over existing construction and debris material and closed MSW areas. The removal of solid waste from the C&D landfill is prohibited. Solid waste unloading at the landfill is controlled to prevent disposal in locations other than those permitted. Such control is also used to confine the working face to a minimum width, facilitating a safe and efficient operation. The waste shall be managed in the smallest area (working face) feasible. Upon dumping, the waste will be spread and compacted as densely as practical into cells utilizing a bulldozer or a compactor. The fill sequence using multiple lifts allows filling to occur uniformly across the site. This provides for elimination of depression areas and facilitates proper storm water movement and management. Waste disposal activities will progress in approximately 10 foot lifts across the landfill footprint as shown on (Drawing C-01). 11.0 Asbestos The White Street Landfill does not accept asbestos. Asbestos is listed as a banned material on the signage in Figure 2 and staff is trained to detect and prevent disposal through the waste screening program. 12.0 Cover Requirements A significant volume of soil is required to provide adequate cover and allow for safe and efficient waste disposal operations. In order to provide for these requirements, the landfill maintains a large permitted borrow area (Drawing CD-77B). The landfill also maintains a stockpile for soil that is brought to the landfill from outside sources (Drawing CD-77B). These outside soil sources must be approved by staff prior to being brought to the landfill. 5 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations PlanVector Control 6 12.1 Weekly Cover In compliance with the latest rules as promulgated regarding management of C&D waste, the waste will be covered with six inches of earthen material at least once per week and when the working face exceeds one-half acre. The landfill will also have available daily cover material if needed to apply in times of adverse weather conditions. At this time, the landfill will be utilizing earthen material from the above described soil sources to cover the waste. This material has been demonstrated to control odors, vectors, blowing litter, and fires. The weekly cover soil requirement is 82,000 cubic yards assuming a 10:1 waste to soil ratio. 12.2 Intermediate Cover Intermediate cover consisting of a total of 12 inches of earthen material is applied to all areas which will not have any waste placement occurring for a period of three months or more. Areas which have received intermediate cover are graded to facilitate proper drainage and to prevent any ponding of water. Once proper grading and drainage has been achieved, temporary grass will be planted. Any erosion or damage to the intermediate cover is repaired on a routine basis. See Section 1.2 of the Closure/Post Closure Plan for the definition of vegetation. During construction of the final cap, the top six inches of the intermediate cover will be removed to prepare for the final cap. 13.0 Vector Control The City will prevent or control on-site populations of disease vectors using techniques appropriate for the protection of human health and the environment. For purposes of this item, "disease vectors" means any rodents, flies, mosquitoes, or other animals or insects, capable of transmitting disease to humans. Vectors are generally attracted by opportunities for food and shelter. C&D waste is not a food source for many vectors. Vectors seeking shelter in the waste mass can be discouraged by covering of the waste and proper grading to prevent ponding of water. If vectors become a problem, a licensed exterminator or other legal means of control shall be implemented. 14.0 Explosive Gases Control With the C&D disposal operations occurring on top of a closed MSW facility, the landfill monitors for migration of explosive gases. A gas monitoring system has been constructed along the east side of the landfill which abuts Rankin Mill Road. All buildings and enclosed structures on the landfill are monitored as part of the routine explosive gas monitoring program (Drawing CD- 79B). Routine monitoring for gas migration is performed in accordance with Rule .1626 part (4)(b) on a quarterly basis to ensure that the following compliance levels for methane and hydrogen sulfide concentrations are not exceeded: 1) the concentration of methane or hydrogen sulfide gas generated by the facility does not exceed 25% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) for the gas in facility structures (1.25% methane, 1.00% hydrogen sulfide); 2) the concentration of methane or hydrogen sulfide gas migrating from the landfill does not exceed the LEL for methane at the facility property boundary (5% methane, 4.00% hydrogen sulfide). City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Explosive Gases Control Routine monitoring for gas migration will be performed on a quarterly basis to ensure that the following compliance levels for explosive gas concentrations are not exceeded. • The concentration of methane or hydrogen sulfide gas generated by the facility does not exceed 25 percent of the respective lower explosive limit (LEL) in facility structures (1.25 percent methane, 1.00 percent hydrogen sulfide). • The concentration of methane or hydrogen sulfide gas migrating from the Landfill does not exceed the respective LEL at the facility property boundary (5 percent methane, 4 percent hydrogen sulfide). The monitoring device that will be used will be a combustible gas indicator (CGI). If concentrations are measured at greater than 25 percent of the LEL in facility structures, then the landfill must immediately take all necessary steps to ensure protection of human health and shall notify the NCDEQ-DWM. Within seven days of detection, the gas levels detected and a description of the steps taken to protect human health shall be placed in the operating record. Within 60 days of detection, a remediation plan describing the nature and extent of the problem and the proposed remedy for gas releases shall be placed in the operating record, the remediation plan shall be implemented, and the NCDEQ-DWM shall be notified. Additional gas probes may be installed as required. They will be installed in a similar manner as the existing gas probes. 14.1 Perimeter Explosive Gas Monitoring Well Placement According to Rule .1624 (4), soil, hydrogeologic and hydraulic conditions, and proximity of structures and property boundaries should be considered when locating gas monitoring wells and determining monitoring frequency. Landfill structures consist of the Administration Building, Compliance and Compost Operations Office, Maintenance Shop, Phase II LFG blower building, equipment and maintenance shed at the compost site, and the Operations Building. The landfill also operates a landfill gas collection system on Phase II. The Phase II system is comprised of vertical extraction wells, a main header pipe, condensate traps, a flare, and a blower station. The Phase II area of the landfill is bounded on the north and west sides by North Buffalo Creek, on the east by Rankin Mill Road, and on the south by landfill property. North Buffalo Creek will act as a natural barrier between the landfill and adjoining properties on the north side of the creek. Four locations labeled Surface Monitoring Points have been identified on the southern bank of North Buffalo Creek and are monitored as part of the quarterly landfill gas monitoring program. It will be necessary to monitor gas migration along the landfill property line at Rankin Mill Road, and the church property on Rankin Mill Road. As shown on Drawing CD-79B six wells are located along Rankin Mill Road and two wells are located near the church property. Permanently mounted gas monitors have been placed in the Administration Building, Compliance and Compost Operations Office, Maintenance Shop, Phase II LFG blower building, 7 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Explosive Gases Control and the Operations Building. These structures are also monitored during the quarterly monitoring event. 14.2 Well Construction All of the methane monitoring wells were constructed of 2-inch PVC pipe placed in a 6-inch diameter bore hole. The screened interval ranged from 5-10 feet, terminating just above the seasonally high water table or at auger refusal. A sand filter pack was placed around the screen and extends 2 feet above the top of the screen. A bentonite seal was placed above the filter pack. The 2-inch casing pipe is protected by a 4-inch square steel outer casing with a locking steel cover. The outer casing is embedded in a 2’x2’x4” concrete pad. 14.3 Sampling Procedures The monitoring device that will be used during each quarterly monitoring event will be a portable combustible gas indicator. This is equipped with a flexible hose and rigid probe. Calibration of the instrument will be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. Personnel designated to perform the monitoring program will be trained in the operation, maintenance, and calibration of the monitoring equipment. The following operating procedures and safety precautions will be adhered to by all personnel when monitoring for methane gas. 1. At least two people should be present at all times when monitoring for explosive gases. 2. At a minimum, safety glasses, gloves, work boots, will be worn. Other appropriate personal protective equipment will be worn as needed. 3. Smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited at all times during the monitoring event. 4. Fire extinguishers will be readily available when performing the monitoring event. 5. Personnel performing the monitoring event will have the City radio readily available which has direct access to emergency personnel. 14.4 Emergency Response Plan In the event gas levels are detected that exceed allowable limits, the emergency response plan will be as follows. 1. For 100% LEL at landfill boundaries less than 250 feet from structures: a. Greensboro Fire Department and Hazardous Material Team will be notified. b. Implement procedures as outlined in Rule .1624 (4). 2. For 100% LEL at landfill boundaries where the distance is greater than 250 feet from structures: a. Notify the Division. 3. For structures detection levels greater than 25% LEL: a. Evacuate the structure immediately. b. Notify Greensboro Fire Department and Hazardous Material Team. 8 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Prevention of Fires 15.0 Prevention of Fires In accordance with the Clean Air Act, open burning is prohibited at this site, unless approved by the Division for the infrequent burning of land clearing debris as generated from natural disasters or emergency clean-up operations. In order to control accidental fires occurring at the site, the following preventative measures have been taken: 1. The scale attendants and equipment operators screen incoming waste loads for signs of hot loads such as smoke, steam, or heat being released from the waste. If evidence of a hot load is detected, the hauler is diverted to the paved road directly east of the scalehouse. This prevents the load from entering the disposal unit and provides a safe area for emergency crews to manage the situation. 2. As described in the City of Greensboro Smoking Policy, smoking is confined to designated areas only. Smoking is not allowed within the footprint of the disposal unit, in any of the landfill equipment, or the landfill buildings. Smoking is also disallowed at the fuel dispensing station, in the vicinity of any of the landfill gas collection system structures or facilities or other fire sensitive area. 3. Motorized equipment is not parked near fuel dispensing stations longer than necessary for refueling. 4. Fuel spills are reported immediately and contained by berming the area and cleaned up immediately using an approved absorbent material. 5. Landfill equipment does not remain on the active disposal area of the site overnight. 6. Landfill equipment is washed routinely and kept free of ignitable debris. 7. Landfill equipment is maintained through a rigorous on-site routine preventative maintenance program to ensure integrity of all operating systems and fluid conveyance lines. 8. Dead trees, brush, or vegetation, adjacent to the landfill are removed immediately, and grass and weeds are routinely mowed so that brush fires cannot spread to the landfill. The landfill employs several types of large bush-hog and lawn type mowers to accomplish this task. In the event of a fire, the Greensboro Fire Department is notified immediately. Fires and explosions that occur at the C&D Landfill will be verbally communicated to the Division within 24 hours and followed by written communication within 15 days. Written notification will include the suspected cause of fire or explosion, the response taken to manage the incident, and the action(s) to be taken to prevent the future occurrence of fire or explosion. 16.0 Waste Screening Program In order to assure that prohibited wastes are not entering the landfill facility, a Waste Screening Program has been implemented at the landfill. Waste received at the scalehouse and wastes taken to the working face are inspected by trained personnel. The facility is only allowed to receive waste from generated in with the City of Greensboro and Guilford County. 9 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations PlanWaste Screening Program 10 16.1 Waste Receiving and Inspection All vehicles (customers and visitors) must stop at the scalehouse. All refuse containing vehicles are weighed and their load assessed. All visitors must report in the scalehouse and sign in. The scale attendant requests from the driver of the refuse containing vehicle a brief description of the waste to ensure that unacceptable wastes are not allowed in the landfill. The scale attendant then requests from the driver the following information to document all inspections: Date and time Source and type of wastes Hauling company, vehicle and driver identification Net weight of load The landfill will notify the Division within 24 hours of attempted disposal of any waste the C&D landfill is not permitted to receive, including waste from outside its service area. 16.2 Waste Screening Each day, haulers are subject to being screened as part of the waste screening program. A minimum of one truck must be screened per day. The current waste screening program will continue to be utilized by the landfill staff for determination of accurate disposal areas and the prevention of prohibited wastes as described in Rule .542 (e). 1. The scale attendants utilize a computer based random number generator to determine the vehicles to be screened that day. 2. The scale attendants notify the landfill technician when the incoming loads are five loads away from the number that has been selected for screening. 3. Once the incoming load has been selected, the scale attendant informs the hauler that the load will be inspected, collects the name of the waste generator, the origin of the waste, the type of waste, and the weight of the waste. The truck is then directed to the correct disposal area. 4. Upon arrival at the disposal site, the waste hauler is directed where to deposit the load for inspection. The waste will be deposited in an area separate and away from the working face of the disposal area. The waste hauler then presents the weigh ticket to the inspector who records the ticket number, waste hauler information, date, and time. 5. The inspector will examine the load. The inspector will verify the waste complies with all items on the Waste Screening Inspection Form (Form 1, Waste Screening). The inspector will also include a brief description of the waste on the form. 6. The driver must remain with the waste until is determined by the inspectors that it is acceptable for disposal. If it deemed acceptable, the driver and truck may be released. The waste material is then moved to the working face for disposal. The inspection area is cleaned and prepared to receive another load. 7. If through the normal procedures of the Waste Screening Program or regular daily operations, a hauler has been identified as routinely bringing prohibited wastes for disposal, that hauler will be subject to daily screening in addition to the random load(s) as selected for that day. City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan Any prohibited wastes detected through this program are recorded on the Waste Screening Inspection Form and the incident is described in detail on the Report of Attempted Disposal of Hazardous or Prohibited Waste form (Form 2 Report of Attempted Disposal of Hazardous or Prohibited Materials). If unacceptable wastes are found, the load will be isolated and secured. The Solid Waste Disposal Manager will then notify the Waste Management Specialist of NCDEQ within 24 hours of attempted disposal. All Waste Screening Inspection Forms, hauler information, reports of attempted disposal of prohibited wastes, and records of disposition of rejected wastes are maintained in the operating record in the scalehouse. These records are routinely electronically archived and hard copies are stored and secured in the records storage room in the Operations Building 2503 –B. 17.0 Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan In the event that identifiable hazardous waste or waste of questionable character is discovered at the landfill, whether through the waste screening program or normal operations, the Hazardous Materials Contingency Plan (Appendix C, Attachment 1) shall be instituted immediately. 18.0 Access Control Entry to the site is limited to landfill personnel, approved waste haulers, and properly identified persons whose entry is authorized by the site management and properly logged in. The City reserves the right to restrict access to the site. The landfill routinely performs public information tours and educational of the facility for civic groups and local grade schools and universities. These tours are conducted with a landfill staff member present at all times. Visitors may be allowed near the active area only when accompanied by one of the landfill staff. As shown in Figure 2, a sign is posted at the entrance of the landfill stating the facility name, permit number, operating hours, and prohibited wastes. As shown in Figure 3, there is additional signage posted periodically throughout the landfill to direct traffic flow and to provide information on the location of appropriate disposal sites. The facility is surrounded on the west, southwest, south, southeast and eastern sides by means of a chain link fence. All gates in this fence network are secured with locks and chains preventing vehicular access and illegal dumping. As stated in landfill property deeds, the northern and northwestern property line of the landfill facility is the center of North Buffalo Creek. This creek, being a natural barrier also prohibits vehicular access and illegal dumping. 19.0 Drainage, Sedimentation and Erosion Control The landfill facility has an extensive network of sedimentation and erosion control devices to restrict sediments being carried from the site. The landfill facility has developed a Storm Water 11 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Water Protection Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP, Drawing CD-80B) to further manage runoff and protect the integrity of North Buffalo Creek. Sediment basins also prevent the discharge of pollutants into the waters of the United States, including wetlands that may violate any requirements of the Clean Water Act, including but not limited to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. In areas which will not have additional waste placed on them for three months or more, but where final termination of disposal operations has not occurred, vegetative cover will be present to prevent on-site erosion. Vegetative cover soil will be capable of supporting grass and vegetation growth. Drainage channels, benches, and other features will have appropriate control devices installed. Where needed, down slope drains will be constructed of 15” corrugated plastic pipe. All devices are routinely inspected and repairs are made as necessary and as soon as possible after detection. No solid waste will be disposed of in standing water and surface water will be diverted away from the active face. In addition, surface water will not be impounded over or in waste. 20.0 Water Protection The landfill has a comprehensive surface and groundwater monitoring program (reference Figure 3 on the S&ME WQMP) to provide early detection information to allow for the prevention of pollution to groundwater. This program is also comprised of a Groundwater Monitoring Plan prepared by S&ME, project number 1584-98-081 which is included herewith and made a part thereof and is included in Appendix D. 21.0 Maintenance 21.1 Repair of Security Control Devices Should the routine inspection process note any deficiencies in any of the security and access control devices, maintenance and repair will be performed as necessary. Locks, vehicular gates, and fencing will be replaced if functioning improperly. Warning and information signs will be kept legible at all times and will be replaced if damaged by inclement weather or vandalism. 21.2 Erosion Damage Repair Should the routine inspection process note any evidence of erosion in any areas of the final cap system, maintenance, repair, and reseeding will be performed as necessary and as soon as possible after detection. Excessive slopes will be flattened if possible by adding clean fill material. If necessary, erosion control fabrics will be used to expedite re-vegetation of slopes and to secure topsoil in place. 21.3 Correction of Settlement, Subsidence, and Displacement Minimum slopes of 5% will be maintained after settlement in order to prevent ponding and allow for proper drainage while preventing infiltration. If vertical or horizontal displacement occurs due to differential settlement, cracks will be filled with appropriate material and final cover will be reestablished. 12 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Benchmarks 21.4 Repair of Run-On/Run-Off Control Structures All terraces, swales, and perimeter channels will be repaired, cleaned, or realigned to maintain original conditions and performance. Any culverts, pipe, or other control device that becomes damaged will be repaired or replaced. 21.5 Leachate Seep Prevention/Repairs The landfill prevents leachate breakouts by maintaining the proper thickness of intermediate cover and repairing erosion rills as necessary. In the event of a leachate breakout the landfill staff would place additional soil cover in the area and re-vegetate. 22.0 Benchmarks The landfill has a comprehensive horizontal and vertical control benchmark network (Drawing CD-82B). This network is based on NAD 83 and NAVD 88. In addition to the on-site benchmarks, the landfill facility has one NCGS control point (57W-200) on site and five points on the west, south and east sides of the facility.

The purpose of this memorandum is to inform CDLF owners and operators and laboratories that are involved in the collection or analysis of environmental samples of this requirement. Although the North Carolina Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch previously established a health based standard for THF, there are currently no established Maximum Contaminant Levels or 15A NCAC 02L .0202 Standards due to the lack of historical toxicological data necessary to promulgate regulatory standards. However, THF analysis is currently required at CDLFs located in several states throughout the U.S. and has been shown to be a constituent of concern in groundwater at CDLFs for several years. In addition, THF has been documented as a contaminant associated with CDLF leachate. Due to the potential health hazards associated with THF and its documented presence at CDLFs, the Section has determined that CDLFs should begin analyzing ground and surface water samples for THF to ensure protection of human health and the environment. Although regulatory standards have not yet been established for THF, its presence in groundwater must be determined in order to accurately assess the risks at each CDLF and determine if regulatory standards need to be established. The Section will reevaluate monitoring requirements for THF in the future after enough data has been collected to determine the extent of THF at C&D facilities. Laboratories are advised to contact the Division of Water Quality-Laboratory Section- Certification Branch prior to initiating THF analysis using Method 8260. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Jaclynne Drummond (919-508- 8500) or Ervin Lane (919-508-8516). Thank you for your continued cooperation with this matter.

Close CQC of the surveying is absolutely essential to ensure that slopes are properly constructed. The surveying conducted at the site shall be performed by the Contractor. 4.2 Survey Control Permanent benchmarks and baseline control points are to be established for the site at locations convenient for daily tie-in. The vertical and horizontal controls for this benchmark will be established within normal land surveying standards. 4.3 Surveying Personnel The Contractor's survey crew will consist of a senior surveyor, and as many surveying CQC monitors as are required to satisfactorily undertake the requirements for the work. All surveying CQC Personnel will be experienced in the provision of these services, including detailed and accurate documentation. All surveying will be performed under the direct supervision of a registered Professional Engineer or Licensed Land Surveyor licensed in the state in which the project is located. The Licensed Land Surveyor may be the senior surveyor. 4.4 Precision and Accuracy A wide variety of survey equipment is available to meet the requirements of this project. The survey instruments used for this work should be sufficiently precise and accurate to meet the needs of the project. All survey instruments should be capable of reading to a precision of 0.01- foot and with a setting accuracy of 20 seconds (5.6 x 10-3 degrees). 4.5 Lines and Grades The following surfaces shall be surveyed to verify the lines and grades achieved during construction. The survey should at least include (as deemed appropriate by the Engineer and CQA Consultant): 11 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – CQA Plan Surveying Construction Quality Control • one or more construction baselines; • a working grid with a sufficient number of benchmarks; • surface of the subgrade; • all existing structures within closure area; • surface of the low permeability soil cap component; • surface of the topsoil layer; • elevations and locations of temporary berms; • top/toe of all perimeter berms, roads, and channels; • location of edge of final cover; and • locations and invert elevations of slope drains. Laser planes are highly recommended for achieving the correct lines and grades during construction of each surface. 4.6 Frequency and Spacing All surveying will be carried out immediately upon completion of a given installation to facilitate progress and avoid delaying commencement of the next installation. In addition, spot checks, as determined by the senior surveyor, CQA Consultant, or Project Manager, during construction may be necessary to assist the Contractor in complying with the required grades. The following spacings and locations will be provided by the CQC surveyor, as a minimum, for survey points: • surfaces with slopes less than 10 percent will be surveyed on a square grid not wider than 100 feet; • on slopes greater than 10 percent, a square grid not wider than 100 feet will be used; however in any case, a line of survey points at the crest, midpoint, and toe of the slope will be taken; and • a line of survey points no farther apart than 100 feet will be taken along any slope break (this will include the inside edge and outside edge of any bench on a slope). 4.7 Thickness Measurements The CQC surveyor, as a representative of the Contractor, shall obtain top and bottom elevations of the low permeability soil cap and topsoil layer at a maximum 100-foot grid points and at all grade break lines. The procedure for obtaining top and bottom elevations shall be agreed to by the CQA Consultant and Engineer prior to construction. The CQC surveyor shall review the survey information with the Contractor to ensure that the survey demonstrates compliance with the project technical specifications. The Contractor is responsible for identifying and reporting to the CQA Consultant any areas of non-compliance evidenced by the survey, and for repairing such areas. The CQA Consultant and Contractor shall review the thickness measurements of the low permeability soil cap component prior to placement of the topsoil layer. 12 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – CQA Plan Construction Quality Assurance Documentation 4.8 Tolerances Except for soil cap components where no minus tolerances are acceptable, following is the maximum tolerance for survey points: • on surfaces, the maximum tolerances shall be 0.2 foot. This tolerance must be set to the record elevation of the surface below it and not the design elevation. 4.9 Documentation All field survey notes will be retained by the senior surveyor. The results from the field surveys will be documented on a set of Survey Record (As-Built) Drawings by the Contractor for submittal to the CQA Consultant. The Contractor shall certify to the CQA Consultant and Engineer that the results of the survey demonstrates compliance with the Contract Documents. These drawings shall, at a minimum, show the final elevations and locations of all surfaces and appurtenances surveyed in Subsection 4.5 of this Plan. 5.0 Construction Quality Assurance Documentation 5.1 Documentation An effective Plan depends largely on recognition of all construction activities that should be monitored and on assigning responsibilities for the monitoring of each activity. This is most effectively accomplished and verified by the documentation of QA activities. The CQA Consultant will document that all QA requirements have been addressed and satisfied. This Plan integrates the testing and inspection performed by the CQC Consultant in accordance with the project specifications with the CQA overview and conformance testing performed by the CQA Consultant, in accordance with this Plan. The CQA Consultant will provide the Project Manager with the CQC Consultant's daily and weekly reports including signed descriptive remarks, data sheets, and logs to verify that all CQC monitoring activities have been carried out. The CQA Consultant will also provide the Project Manager with a weekly report summarizing CQA activities and identifying potential QA problems.

The final cap system, in accordance with Rule .1627(c)(1), consists of an 18-inch infiltration layer overlain by a six inch erosion layer. The 65-acre C&DLF footprint was permitted in 1997 on top of the closed unlined Phase II MSW landfill. The City closed an 8-acre area of the cap which was approved by North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) on February 17, 2014. A second closure of approximately 26 acres was performed and approved by NCDEQ on September 2, 2015. The remaining 31 acres are currently being filled. 1.2 Cap System Design Compacted soil liners will be incorporated in the cap system design to provide protection throughout the 30-year post-closure period. The system will consist of two layers (bottom up): the compacted soil liner and the erosion layer. The compacted soil liner forms a composite barrier designed to reduce infiltration into the Landfill, thus minimizing leachate and the potential for groundwater contamination. The erosion layer is designed to sustain vegetation and minimize erosion. The landfill may use on- or off-site borrow material for the compacted soil layer and erosion layer. The compacted soil liner will consist of no less than 18 inches of soil having permeability less than or equal to soils underlying the landfill or no greater than 1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec, whichever is less. In order to assure that the material meets the permeability criteria, the soil will be tested prior to use and during placement. It is anticipated that the upper 12 inches of the intermediate cover will be suitable for compaction and incorporation into the compacted soil layer. Construction methods for the compacted soil liner shall be based upon the type and quality of the borrow source and shall be verified in the field by constructing test pad(s). A professional engineer shall certify that the compacted soil liner installation conforms to the plans approved by NCDEQ Division of Waste Management. The erosion layer will consist of no less than six inches of earthen material capable of sustaining native plant growth. It is anticipated that this layer will consist of suitable on-site or off-site borrow material. The materials of the erosion layer will be selected considering soil type, nutrient levels, pH, erodibility, sideslope drainage, and other factors. The vegetation will be selected based upon the following characteristics. • Species of grasses which are locally adapted and resistant to drought or temperature extremes. • Having roots which will not disrupt the compacted soil liner. • Ability to thrive in low nutrient soil and develop a good stand to resist erosion. • Survive and function with little or no maintenance. 1 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Closure Plan All cover material will be free of putrescible material, solid waste, vegetation (prior to placement), rocks, construction debris, frozen soil, and other deleterious materials. The cap will have a gas venting system that will minimize the build up of pressure being exerted on the low permeability barrier. The system may consist of vertical wells, horizontal wells, or a permeable layer beneath the barrier layer that will allow pressures to vent to either the atmosphere or to a collection system. The spacing of the wells shall be one well per acre. A lower frequency of wells may be acceptable if it can be demonstrated to control emissions. 1.3 Final Contour Requirements The final contour requirements for closure are shown on the Drawing C-02. These contours represent the top of the intermediate cover layer. The landfill is designed to have minimum top slopes of five percent and side slopes of 4H:1V. Final contours have been established to allow the landfill’s surface water to drain off the final cover while limiting erosion potential and maintaining post settlement slopes greater than five percent. A system of sideslope diversion channels, slope drains, and perimeter channels are designed to convey the runoff to one of seven adjacent sedimentation basins. 1.4 Cap System Material Requirements Based on 18 inches of compacted soil liner placed over the areas that require final closure, 75,000 CY of compacted soil will be required for the first layer of the cap system. A minimum of 25,000 CY will be required for the erosion layer. The following table summarizes the cap system requirements for White Street C&D Landfill. Table 1 Cap System Requirements Cap System Requirements 18-inch Compacted Soil Liner 75,000 CY 6-inch Erosion Layer 25,000 CY 1.5 Erosion Control Measures Vegetation will be established once the final grades of the erosion layer are complete to prevent erosion of the final cover. The sedimentation basins were designed to control the 24-hour 25- year storm event. 1.6 Settlement Subsidence and Displacement Landfill compaction methods, which include the use of compaction equipment to spread and compact in layers, combined with an adequate number of passes over each layer of waste, will be utilized to reduce voids and minimize differential settlement. Proper placement of weekly, intermediate, and final cover will reduce the moisture content of the waste prior to site closure and further reduce settlement. Final slopes of the landfill have been developed to allow for this anticipated subsidence so that long-term positive drainage of the fill will not be hindered. 2 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Closure Plan 1.7 Schedule for Closure According to Rule .0543(c)(5), closure is required to begin either 30 days after the final known receipt of waste, 30 days after a 10 acre area or greater is within 15 feet of final design grades or within a year of the most recent receipt of waste. The City of Greensboro will request an extension from the NCDEQ Division of Waste Management to begin closure activities no later than 30 days after the known final receipt of waste in accordance with Rule .0543(c)(5). Closure activities will be completed within 180 days of the start of closure unless an extension has been requested and received in accordance with Rule .0543(c)(6). 1.8 Notice of Closure and Date of Final Waste Acceptance A sign indicating the anticipated date of closure and the date of final waste acceptance will be conspicuously posted at the facility at least 30 days in advance. Prior to beginning closure of the unit or portions thereof, the NCDEQ Department of Solid Waste Management will be notified that a notice of intent to close has been placed in the operating record. 1.9 Closure Verification The following procedures will be implemented following closure. • A Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) report shall be submitted to the NCDEQ Division of Solid Waste Management. This CQA report shall describe the observations and tests used before, during, and upon completion of construction to ensure that the construction materials meet the cap design specifications and the construction and certification requirements. The CQA report shall contain as-built drawings. • A signed certification from an independent registered professional engineer verifying that closure has been completed in accordance with the closure plan will be submitted to the NCDEQ Division of Waste Management and a copy will be placed in the operating record. • Within 90 days, a survey plat prepared by a professional land surveyor registered by the State, indicating the location and dimensions of landfill disposal areas, will be recorded in the RMC office. • A notation shall be recorded on the deed notifying any potential purchaser of the property that the land has been used as a solid waste management unit and that future use is restricted under Paragraph (8) of Rule .0543(c). A copy of the deed notation as recorded shall be filed with the operating record. 1.10 Cost Estimate of Closure Activities The cost estimate of closure activities is provided in Appendix F1. The estimate is in 2016 dollars and will be updated in the next financial assurance cycle. The cost estimate is subject to change prior to the closure of the landfill and as the closure design is finalized. 3 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Post-Closure Plan 2.0 Post-Closure Plan 2.1 Introduction This Post-Closure Plan has been developed to outline steps to be taken to ensure the environmental soundness of the White Street C&D Landfill during its post-closure care period. The post-closure care period will last at least 30 years after closure completion and at a minimum will consist of the following. • Maintaining integrity and effectiveness of final cover system. • Performing groundwater and surface water monitoring. • Maintaining and operating a gas monitoring system. • Maintaining run-on/run-off controls. No wastes will remain exposed after closure of the unit; the total area of the unit is 135 acres. Access to the closed site by the public will be restricted. Any proposed use will be evaluated to determine its potential for posing a significant health hazard. The Phase II MSW Landfill was closed in 1998. The 90 acre C&D landfill portion of the Phase II currently consists of 59 closed acres and 31 active acres. 2.2 Post-Closure Contact All correspondence and questions concerning the post-closure care of the unit should be directed to: Solid Waste Disposal Manager (336) 412-3959 2503 White Street Greensboro, NC 27405 2.3 Description of Use After the unit is officially closed in accordance with the Closure Plan, the area will be allowed to return to a natural vegetative state. The City will maintain control of the property and prevent public access to it during the post-closure period. There will be an access road on the cap to allow proper maintenance during post-closure. Final location of the access will be determined as a part of operations and Closure Plan. 2.4 Maintenance 2.4.1 Repair of Security Control Devices All security control devices will be inspected and maintained as necessary to ensure access to the site is controlled. Locks, vehicular gates, and fencing will be replaced if functioning improperly. Warning signs will be kept legible at all times and will be replaced if damaged by inclement weather or vandalism. 4 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Post-Closure Plan 2.4.2 Erosion Damage Repair If erosion of the final cover occurs during post-closure, the affected area will be repaired and re- seeded as necessary. Excessive slopes will be flattened if possible by adding clean fill material. If necessary, erosion control fabrics will be used to expedite rapid revegetation of slopes and to secure topsoil in place. Rough surfaces, which cause isolated erosion areas will be smooth and re-seeded as necessary. 2.4.3 Correction of Settlement, Subsidence, and Displacement Minimum slopes of five percent will be maintained in order to prevent ponding and allow for proper drainage without infiltration. If vertical or horizontal displacement occurs due to differential settlement, cracks will be filled with appropriate material and final cover will be reestablished. 2.4.4 Repair of Run-On/Run-Off Control Structures All side slope terraces, ditches, and perimeter channels will be repaired, cleaned or realigned in order to maintain original condition. Any culverts that are damaged will be replaced. 2.4.5 Groundwater/Gas Monitoring System Groundwater wells will be inspected regularly (at the time of sampling) to ensure integrity. Persons inspecting a well should look for signs of well tampering, cracking or degradation, and determine whether the well needs to be replaced. If the decision is made to replace and abandon a well, the replacement well should be installed 5 to 10 feet from the abandoned well in accordance with previous well specifications. Well abandonment should be accomplished by pulling the casing out and grouting the hole. 2.5 Monitoring Plan The closed unit shall be monitored for 30 years. A series of inspections shall be scheduled to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the cap system, storm water control system, groundwater monitoring system, gas collection system, and to protect human health and the environment. 2.5.1 Inspection Frequencies Inspections to be conducted during the post-closure care period will occur regularly as follows: Table 2 Post Closure Inspection Frequencies Post-Closure Inspection Frequencies Inspection Activity Years 1-3 Years 4-30 Security Control Devices Quarterly Quarterly Cover Drainage System Functioning Quarterly Semiannually Groundwater Monitoring System Semiannually Semiannually Erosion Damage Quarterly Semiannually Cover Settlement, Subsidence, and Displacement Quarterly Semiannually Vegetative Cover Condition Quarterly Semiannually Stormwater Control System Quarterly Semiannually Benchmark Integrity Annually Annually 5 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Post-Closure Plan 2.5.2 Quarterly Inspections Quarterly inspections of the closed site will include examination of the security control devices for signs of deterioration or vandalism to ensure access to the site is limited to authorized persons. 2.5.3 Semiannual Inspections Semiannual inspections of the site during the post-closure period will be conducted by the Owner or Owner’s representative with attention paid to the integrity of the final cover system. This includes inspection for erosion damage, a good stand of vegetative cover, and cover settlement, subsidence, and displacement. Drainage ditches will be cleared of litter and debris, benchmark integrity will be noted and maintained as well as the integrity of the groundwater and gas monitoring systems. Groundwater monitoring will continue on a regular basis throughout the post-closure care period. The parameters chosen for analysis will be no less than the requirements of regulatory agencies. Groundwater monitoring wells will be inspected in accordance with the post-closure inspection protocol. A report of findings will be made to the responsible party via the Post- Closure Inspection Checklist, including any recommendations for actions necessary to ensure the site continues to meet the closure performance standard. The engineer will also receive copies of the quarterly inspection reports and respond to any comments that demand immediate attention. 2.6 Engineering Certification Based on the monitoring reports and semiannual site visits, annual certifications by the owner or owner’s representative will be placed in the operating record. They will certify that the post closure plan is being followed, noting discrepancies along with the corrective actions undertaken. At the end of the post-closure period, the individual certifications will be compiled into a final document and forwarded to NCDEQ. 2.7 Cost Estimate of Post Closure Care Activities The cost estimate of post-closure care activities is provided in Appendix F1. The estimate is in 2016 dollars and will be updated in the next financial assurance cycle. 6 City of Greensboro White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Attachment F1 – Closure/Post-Closure Cost Estimate F1 Attachment F1 – Closure/Post-Closure Cost Estimate City of Greensboro, NC 9-Mar-17 Below is a summary of what has been reported for certain amounts in the Financial Assurance Test for Greensboro, since FY2012. 1) Reported for "potential" assessment and corrective action: Inflation Factor Reported FY 16 Used On Line $2,118,712 Other: Assessment and Corrective Action - Permit 41 - 12 +$2,118,712 1.00%Other: Assessment and Corrective Action - Permit 41 - 03 $4,237,424 FY 15 $2,097,735 Other: Assessment and Corrective Action - Permit 41 - 12 +$2,097,735 1.40%Other: Assessment and Corrective Action - Permit 41 - 03 $4,195,470 FY 14 $2,068,772 Other: Assessment and Corrective Action - Permit 41 - 12 +$2,068,772 1.50%Other: Assessment and Corrective Action - Permit 41 - 03 $4,137,544 FY 13 $2,038,199 Other: Assessment and Corrective Action - Permit 41 - 12 +$2,038,199 1.80%Other: Assessment and Corrective Action - Permit 41 - 03 $4,076,398 FY 12 $2,002,160 Other: Assessment and Corrective Action - Permit 41 - 12 +$2,002,160 Other: Assessment and Corrective Action - Permit 41 - 03 $4,004,320 2) Reported for Estimated groundwater remediation - Phase II in addition to above amounts: FY 16 $1,567,941 MSWLF under 15A NCAC 13B Section 1600; however also broken out at top of Financial Assurance Form that was submitted FY15 $1,689,121 MSWLF under 15A NCAC 13B Section 1600; however also broken out at top of Financial Assurance Form that was submitted FY14 $1,797,521 MSWLF under 15A NCAC 13B Section 1600; however also broken out at top of Financial Assurance Form that was submitted FY13 2,113,790$ MSWLF under 15A NCAC 13B Section 1600; however also broken out at top of Financial Assurance Form that was submitted FY12 2,157,660$ MSWLF under 15A NCAC 13B Section 1600; however also broken out at top of Financial Assurance Form that was submitted Note: The same inlation factors were used for the estimated groundwater remediation costs, as noted above, however, amounts are declining due to tasks being completed since FY2012, which was considered to be the start of Year 1 of the total 30 year compliance period.

Following approval of this LGMP by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Waste Management (DWM), a routine methane monitoring program will be implemented at the landfill. Once final closure of the unit is complete, the monitoring program will continue in accordance with NC regulation, 15A NCAC 13B .0543 (e)(1)(C). Following approval, this plan will be placed in the landfill operating record and shall remain open for revisions throughout the active life of the landfill, as well as after landfill closure is complete. All changes to this plan will be submitted to NCDEQ DWM as they are implemented. 2.0 Background Information 2.1 General The White Street Landfill is located off White Street approximately five miles northwest of the City of Greensboro, North Carolina (the City) and is operated under North Carolina NCDEQ DWM Permit No. 4103-CDLF-1998. The facility consists of three major units: the closed Phase I unit, the active Phase II C&D unit, which is on top of the closed Phase II MSW unit, and the Phase III MSW unit which is currently active. The closed Phase II MSW unit is unlined and is approximately 135 acres. The Phase II C&D landfill area occupies approximately 90 acres. Land use to the east and north of the Phase II C&D landfill is primarily residential along with some light industrial use along Rankin Mill Road. To the west is the closed Phase I landfill, and to the south is the active Phase III MSW landfill. 3.0 Landfill Gas Overview & Regulatory Action Levels One of the byproducts of landfilling municipal solid waste is landfill gas which is generated by the anaerobic decomposition of waste within the landfill. Landfill gas typically consists of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), with trace amounts of oxygen (O2), water (H2O), nitrogen (N2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and other gases. The amount and rate of generation of landfill gas is affected by several factors, including the following. • Total refuse tonnage in-place. • Moisture content of the refuse. • Age of the refuse. • Organic composition and pH value of the refuse. • Method and degree of compaction of the refuse. • Type and amount of cover material used. 1 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Landfill Gas Overview & Regulatory Action Levels The concentration of the landfill gas varies according to site-specific conditions; however, landfill gas compositions of 30-53 percent methane (CH4) and 34-51 percent carbon dioxide (CO2) are common. A byproduct of landfilling C&D waste is hydrogen sulfide gas which is generated by the anaerobic decomposition of waste within the landfill. The higher concentrations of hydrogen sulfide are believed to be associated with the gypsum board component (e.g. wallboard) present in C&D material. The combination of gypsum, organic material, moisture and anaerobic conditions present in C&D landfills is believed to provide a favorable mixture and environment for bacteria to produce hydrogen sulfide gas. C&D landfill owners and operators must insure that the concentration of methane gas or other explosive gases generated by the facility does not exceed 25 percent of the lower explosive limit at the facility boundary, in on-site facility structures (excluding gas control or recovery system components) and the facility does not release methane gas or other explosive gases in any concentration that can be detected in offsite structures per 15A NCAC 13B .0544 (d). Landfill gas can travel in all directions, taking the path of least resistance. Landfill gas moves from areas of higher concentrations to areas of lower concentrations (diffusion), or from higher gas pressure zones to lower gas pressure zones (convection). Subsurface geologic and hydrogeologic conditions contribute greatly to the potential for gas migration. When landfill gas migration is taking place, on-site and nearby structures are at risk of receiving migrating gas due to confined spaces in or under the buildings. Landfill gas can enter buildings through cracks in the foundation or subsurface utility services. Lack of ventilation may result in the buildup of methane concentrations to explosive limits. In an effort to eliminate the potential hazards associated with the migration of landfill gas, NCDEQ has promulgated regulations (15A NCAC 13B .0544 (d)(2)) , which require owners and/or operators of all C&D landfill facilities to monitor gases at the facility property boundary and on-site structures. Tables 1 and 2 below provide the present regulatory limits for methane and hydrogen sulfide at C&D sites. Table 1 Compliance Levels for Methane Location Lower Explosive Limit (% LEL) Maximum Methane Concentration in Air Property Boundary 100% 5% Facility Structures 25% 1.25% Table 2 Compliance Levels for Hydrogen Sulfide Location Lower Explosive Limit (% LEL) Maximum Hydrogen Sulfide Concentration in Air Property Boundary 100% 4% Facility Structures 25% 1.00% 2 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Landfill Gas Monitoring 4.0 Landfill Gas Monitoring 4.1 Proposed Landfill Gas Monitoring Procedure To provide a means of monitoring methane gas at the landfill, permanent gas migration monitoring stations have been installed along the perimeter of the Phase II active and closed landfill areas. These stations are monitored on a quarterly basis. 4.1.1 Permanent Monitoring Station Design and Installation Permanent monitoring stations have been installed around the active and closed landfill. All the wells are for detection monitoring. Drawing CD-79B Phase II Landfill Gas Monitoring System, shows the monitoring wells at the landfill. 4.1.1.1 ACTIVE LANDFILL EXISTING STATIONS Eight permanent monitoring stations (MGMW-1 through MGM-8) have been installed along the permit boundary for Phase II (see Drawing CD-79B). The well locations were placed on the east side of Phase II between the permitted waste boundary and property lines along Rankin Mill Road. No wells are shown between the active landfill and Buffalo Creek since this is interior to the property line and Buffalo Creek acts as a cut-off feature. 3 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Landfill Gas Monitoring Figure 2 Typical Methane Probe Construction 5 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Landfill Gas Monitoring 4.1.2 Gas Migration Monitoring Reading of the permanent monitoring stations and on site structures will be conducted on a quarterly schedule. As per existing regulations, the monitoring frequency of individual stations may be increased if combustible gas is detected above the LEL. Sampling procedure will follow the manufacturer’s instructions. All perimeter gas stations shall be monitored for the following parameters. • Combustible Gas (methane) - with a Landtec GEM 5000 (or equivalent).The station shall be sufficiently evacuated with the sample pump so that methane concentrations are constant for at least 30 seconds. The large scale (0-100 percent methane-in-air) shall be used first. If readings are below 5 percent, the reading will be obtained using the smaller (0-5 percent methane-in-air) scale. • Combustible Gas (hydrogen sulfide) - with a Landtec GEM 5000 (or equivalent).The station shall be sufficiently evacuated with the sample pump so that hydrogen sulfide concentrations are constant for at least 30 seconds. The large scale (0-100 percent hydrogen sulfide-in-air) shall be used first. If readings are below 4 percent, the reading will be obtained using the smaller (0-4 percent hydrogen sulfide-in-air) scale. Information from the monitoring will be recorded on the field data form (Appendix 1). Any readings recorded at or above the LEL for methane will be immediately verified and reported as described in the Contingency Section of this plan. 4.1.3 Continuous Monitoring of On-Site Structures Select on-site buildings will be equipped with continuous monitoring device to detect combustible gas concentrations that may accumulate inside the structures. The device should be rated to detect a wide range of combustible gases and have a methane detection range of 500 to 10,000 parts per million (ppm) (.05 to 1.0 percent methane-in-air). The monitor should be installed in an area of the structure where methane gas is most likely to accumulate. Any verifiable detection of methane in the structures will be addressed and reported in accordance with the Contingency Section of this LGMP. 4.2 Schedule for Installation of Monitoring Elements When the City determines that additional permanent monitoring stations are needed, this station will be installed and documentation will be submitted to the NCDEQ DWM after installation. 4.3 Maintenance and Calibration of Monitoring Elements The City conducts the following maintenance schedule and calibration procedures for the gas monitoring elements at the landfill. Training of personnel is conducted when necessary. 4.3.1 Maintenance of Permanent Monitoring Stations A visual inspection of the permanent stations will be conducted quarterly in conjunction with the monitoring events. The inspection schedule will increase with any increases in the monitoring schedule. The condition of following elements will be inspected. 6 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Contingency Plan • Station label. • Protective casing and concrete pad. • Lock. • Station surroundings including standing water and vegetation. Any abnormalities regarding the condition of the station will be noted on the field log and immediately addressed. 4.3.2 Calibration of Portable Monitoring Instruments 4.3.2.1 CONTINUOUS MONITORING DEVICES Continuous monitoring devices will be maintained and calibrated according to the manufacturers’ recommendations. Maintenance and calibration will include the following tasks. • Verification of power to the monitor. • Ensuring that there is no interference of air flow to the monitor. • Exposing the sensor to a sample of calibration gas per the manufacturer's recommended procedure to verify that the monitor is calibrated correctly. 4.3.2.2 PORTABLE MONITORING INSTRUMENTS Portable monitoring instruments such as the Landtec GEM 2000 will be maintained and calibrated according to the manufacturer's recommended procedure. For a detailed description of the maintenance and calibration procedures, the instruction manual should be consulted. 5.0 Contingency Plan The City will implement the following contingency plan if the landfill gas readings at any monitoring location exceed the limits set by regulations (see Table 1 – Compliance Levels of Methane in this plan). 5.1 Contingency Plan Guidelines If allowable maximum limits for combustible gas are exceeded at the facility property boundary or in on-site structures, the City will take the following steps. Step 1: Immediately take all necessary steps to ensure protection of human health and notify NCDEQ. Step 2: Within seven days of detection, place the combustible gas levels detected and a description of the steps taken to protect human health in the operating record. Step 3: Within 60 days of detection, develop and implement a remediation plan that describes the nature and extent of the problem and proposed remedy for the combustible gas releases, place a copy of the plan in the operating record and notify NCDEQ that the plan has been implemented. 7 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Contingency Plan Consistent with the above requirements, notifications will be made either in person or by telephone followed by a facsimile transmission or letter. The City will also contact the following agencies or personnel as necessary.

A copy of the LGMP will also be placed in the landfill operating record for the facility. NCDEQ will be notified that the remediation plan has been implemented. 5.3.3.2 BAR-HOLE PROBE INSTALLATION AND MONITORING PROCEDURE Bar-hole probes may be temporarily installed as a remediation plan and monitored along the perimeter boundary of the landfill. Bar-hole probes may be used for identifying and tracking methane migration plumes, as described in the Contingency Plan section, and as a substitute monitoring method for damaged or malfunctioning permanent probes. Prior to conducting bar-hole probing, the area will be checked for any subsurface utilities, conduits, or pipelines. If water or mud covers the desired probe location, then the probe will be offset to a nearby dry portion of the permit boundary or temporarily eliminated from the monitoring round. All precautions shall be taken to eliminate the introduction of moisture into the 9 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Safety monitoring instrument. Any abnormalities in the probe location will be noted on the field data form (refer to Appendix 1). The bar-hole procedure will involve pushing a 1/2-to 3/4-inch diameter metal rod a minimum of 2-3 feet into the subsurface soils. Upon removal of the metal rod, a probe connected to Landtec GEM 5000 or equivalent will be immediately inserted into the hole and sealed to minimize air infiltration into the sample. A measurement of the sample, along with other pertinent data, will be taken and recorded on the field data form located in Appendix 1. Readings from the probe hole will be taken first with the instrument in the “HIGH” or 0-100 percent methane-in-air range. If a reading above 5 percent cannot be maintained during evacuation for at least 30 seconds, then the measurement shall be repeated with the instrument in the “LOW” or 0-5 percent methane-in-air (0-100 percent of the LEL) range. Upon completion of the monitoring, the probe hole will be backfilled with native soil. If concentrations of combustible are measured at or above the LEL, additional bar-hole probes will be installed to assess the lateral extent of the migration. The additional probes will be placed in a radial pattern starting at the initial probe location and working in 5-foot increments outward. The pattern will continue until readings of 0 percent combustible are obtained. Information from this monitoring procedure will be recorded on graph paper to determine the extent of the migration. The information will be submitted to NCDEQ in the Semiannual Ground-Water Monitoring Report. If it is determined that off-site migration exists above the LEL, the information, along with any proposed mitigation measures, will be submitted in accordance with the Contingency Plan section of this LGMP. The bar-hole probe equipment will be maintained between monitoring events. Maintenance associated with the bar-hole probe monitoring includes ensuring plunger bar is clean and free of damage. 5.3.3.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN NCDEQ will be notified that the remediation plan has been implemented. 6.0 Safety Prior to beginning a monitoring procedure, the landfill technician must understand the potential dangers associated with landfill gas. Not only is landfill gas explosive, it can also present the following other hazards. • Landfill gas may cause asphyxiation through oxygen displacement. Proper procedures must be followed when entering confined spaces which may be potential receptors of migrating landfill gas. • Some of the possible trace contaminants associated with landfill gas, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), are extremely toxic. Technicians must be trained in the indicators of H2S such as its recognizable odor (rotten egg) at low concentrations. At a minimum, the following items should be addressed by the technician, in addition to any site- specific safety procedures to reduce the chance of injury. 10 City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Safety • Be aware of the hazards of landfill gas as mentioned above. • Practice confined space entry procedures when entering structures that have been evacuated due to the possible presence of landfill gas in confined space. • Always practice the “buddy” system (i.e., work with a partner who remains outside of the area of possible exposure) when monitoring for landfill gas. • Know where all firefighting equipment (i.e., extinguishers, hoses, etc.) is stored and ensure that it is well maintained. • Determine whether additional personal safety equipment is necessary. • Do not smoke or allow others nearby to smoke while monitoring for landfill gas, or at any time when near landfill waste. • Know how the monitoring instruments work and how to operate and calibrate them properly. • Determine where all nearby subsurface utilities are prior to bar-hole probing. • Do not use odor as a primary indicator of landfill gas migration. • Inform the landfill manager or your supervisor of any possible hazards, no matter how small they may appear. 11 City of Greensboro | White Street Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Attachment 1 – Field Data Form 1 Attachment 1 – Field Data Form White Street Landfill Gas Migration Report Quarter Year Monitoring Well Methane % H2S Time Date MGMW-1 MGMW-2 MGMW-3 MGMW-4 MGMW-5 MGMW-6 MGMW-7 MGMW-8 Building Location Methane % H2S Time Date Phase II Blower Landfill Maintenance Shop Area Restroom Offices Landfill Scalehouse Weighmaster Area Hallway Conference Room Offices Yardwaste Building Readings taken by: Signature: City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Permit Amendment Appendix H – Drawings H Appendix H – Drawings HDR Engineering, Inc. of the Carolinas 440 S Church Street, Suite 1000 Charlotte, NC 28202-2075 704.338.6700 NC License F0116 hdrinc.com © 2017 HDR, Inc., all rights reserved
