1. The landfill was a 6.9-acre land clearing and inert debris landfill (LCIDLF) unit with a
LCID treatment and processing unit and operated under Solid Waste Management Permit
Number 76-C on October 27, 1999.

2. Site Suitability for the Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill (C&DLF) was
approved for the Cell 2 comprised Phases 1 & 2, approximately 9 acres, on July 25, 2001.
The PTC for the C&DLF – Cell 2 was approved on July 26, 2001 and the PTO for
disposal permitted C&D wastes at 1.1 acre of Cell 2 was approved on October 19, 2001.
This PTO that approved for operating C&D treatment and processing unit at the landfill
facility replaced LCID Notice of Intent for treatment and processing.

3. On January 9, 2006, the City Asheboro issued Morton and Swell Land Company, LLC a
five (5)-year Ordinance Granting a Construction and Demolition Landfill Franchise to
construct and operate the C&DLF unit with 9-acre waste footprint.

4. On September 15, 2008, the Division determined that the C&DLF unit met the
requirements stated in Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0547(2) and authorized the C&DLF unit to
continue operating according to the PTO dated October 19, 2001 (DIN 5810) without

(DIN 9575) that was issued on February 17, 2014 rescinded the LCIDLF Permit No. 76-
C, requested an immediate closure of 2.9 acres (side slope at final grade at that time) of
the C&DLF (DIN 1992), and approved 6.1-acre working face of the C&DLF at any given
