1. Washington County was originally granted a permit to construct and operate a construction and
demolition debris landfill (C&DLF) and a scrap tire processing/monofill, which were located
immediately next to each other and separated by an earthen berm.
2. Washington County ceased disposal of used tires in the tire monofill and converted the
remaining air space of the monofill into a C&DLF unit in January 2001. The November 20,
2003 memorandum issued from Washington County to the Division of Waste Management
indicated that the remaining combined air spaces of a C&DLF unit and a scrap tire monofill
were approximately 117,795 cubic yards.
3. Washington County submitted a substantial amendment to the existing CDLF permit in
compliance with North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0547(2) and
revisions to the Facility Plan, which proposed to incrementally develop the landfill by six (6)
phases resulting in increasing the total gross capacity from 117,795 cubic yards to 145,965
cubic yards within the originally approved disposal areas of approximately 4.01 acres. This
permit substantial amendment is consistent with the resolution passed by the Washington
County Board of Commissioners on February 6, 2012.
4. Washington County submitted a life-of-site permit application dated December 21, 2016.
