Subject:RE: Capital Materials & Recycling
Stacey‐ 

The NC Solid Waste Section Field Operations Branch and Permitting Branch made a determination to allow Capital 
Materials & Recycling to reduce their financial assurance requirement to $100,000 with re‐evaluation in 6‐8 months to 
confirm the facility is maintaining throughput.  If the facility needs a letter or documentation regarding financial 
assurance, please contact Sarah Rice at (919) 707‐8287. 

I will need a revised site map, plan sheet size, with the updated facility boundaries and other details of proposed 
changes submitted to me as a permit modification request to supplement the Facility Plan Modification language 
submittal dated July 18, 2016.  The fee for a permit modification is $500. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. 

Thank you, 

Christine

Christine, 

I wanted to follow up with you regarding our prior conversations.  Based on discussions with Gary and Capital Materials, 
the process rates (in general terms) for mulch is as follows: 

Incoming woody waste:  ~24,000 tons per year 
Outgoing woody waste (mulch and chips) quota:  ~36,000 tons per year with an anticipated increase of 12,000 tons per 
year with the mulch coloring process 

Maximum processing rate of equipment is ~160,000 tons per year. 

As you are aware, moving the material is the biggest challenge in recycling but with the diversification of end products, it 
becomes easier.  Also, the site is more than capable of processing the incoming materials with the existing equipment. 

Please advise of next steps in completing our request on the financial assurance while we are on similar tracks to 
coordinate disaster debris site and recycling certifications. 

Thanks, 

Sas

Hi Stacey‐
