(Section 3.1, on Page 1-7) The Section 1.0 states that Phases 4 & 5 will be a vertical extension of Phase 1 through 3; this statement is inconsistent with that in the second paragraph of Section 3.1. Please clarify. Response to 1/14/2019 Review Comments Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill, Permit 68-04 May 28, 2019 DAA PN: R00592-179N Page 2 of 15 The paragraph was corrected to indicate that Phases 4 & 5 will be constructed over top of Phases 1 through 3. 3. (Section 4.3) This section should described completion of the landfill gas trench (date of completion, approximate dimensions of the trench, trench backfill media/material, and gas piping and current LFG remedial status at the site after the trench has been install in 2010. Additional language was added to indicate where the information about the gas collection trench could be found and a brief description of what may have caused the gas, where the trench was installed, and the effect of the trench. SECTION II - Engineering Plan 4. (Section 1.3) The facility contact is obsolete. Since the original submittal of the application, the contact person and title for the County has changed. Those changes are reflected in the revised documents. 5. (Section 1.5.1) The remaining air space/capacity of Phase1 should be 74,800 CY. The table has been revised as requested. 6. (Section 1.5.8) The Sheet 7 shows the cross-section of the landfill phased development; elevations of the seasonal high ground-water table and the bedrock datum as stated in this section are not available. Please add the described data to the sheet. The seasonal-high groundwater elevation and approximate bedrock location has been added to the cross-section. Bedrock location has been interpolated from historical boring logs not completed by Draper Aden Associates 7. (Section 1.5.9) The temporary bench mark info is different from that shown on Sheet No. 2. Please clarify. TBM No. 1 is shown on Sheet 1 and is correct. TBM No.2 is an iron pin in the County’s property line along the southern most side of the entire complex. This property line is unique from the C&D landfill parcel. TBM No. 2 is now shown on a new Sheet 2 that depicts the entire OCSW facility. (Revised drawing set is attached) 8. (Section 1.6.6) The erosion and sediment control details are shown on Sheets 9 & 10. Please correct typo. Corrected. Response to 1/14/2019 Review Comments Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill, Permit 68-04 May 28, 2019 DAA PN: R00592-179N Page 3 of 15 Attachment II-B, Technical Specifications 9. (Section 02292-, Infiltration Barrier Layer) ii. (Paragraph 3.02.C) The specified compaction effort is that the in-place dry density of compacted soil liner shall be greater than 90% of the maximum dry density defined by ASTM D 698. This specification is acceptable only if the density of each soil sample is equal to or greater than 120 pcf as specified in the Slope Stability Analysis & Section 2.1.4 of the Closure Plan. Otherwise, slope stability analysis must be conducted by using the soil testing results obtained from the CQA program. A sensitivity analysis for upper- and lower-bound data ranges shall be implemented for the slope stability analysis. Additional language was added to the plan to alert the Contractor to the CQA and Closure plans and the soil requirements. iii. (Paragraph 3.03.B) Please verify the final thickness of (24 inches ?) the compacted test pad for compacted soil liner/infiltration layer. The thickness has been revised to 36 inches to reflect the full capping cross-section. iv. (Paragraph 3.03.E) Please specify the acceptable ranges for in-placed testing of moisture content and moisture control procedures during the period of constructing the 18-inch-thick compacted soil liner/infiltration layer. A soil’s moisture content optimum range is dependent upon the parent material and should not be specified based upon general industry standards. A moisture range profile will be developed at the time of construction when a borrow source has been identified. The source will then have multiple samples taken to establish the proper moisture relationship. Text has been added to the paragraph in question to alert the contractor to the variability of the moisture content and that it will be based upon site specific data. 10. (Section 13302, Geocomposite Drainage Net (GDN)) i. (Paragraph 2.01) The specified interface friction angle of 24 degree is less than that (28 degree) specified in Section 2.1.4 of the Closure and Post- Response to 1/14/2019 Review Comments Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill, Permit 68-04 May 28, 2019 DAA PN: R00592-179N Page 4 of 15 Closure Plan. Please correct the typo. If this is the friction angle between geotextile and geonet, please state so. The interface friction angle has been corrected to match the closure Plan ii. (Paragraph 3.0.2.F) Anchor trench for the GDN installation is not available in the submitted drawing, please provide the anchor trench details. Additionally, should the trenching excavation and backfill comply with Specification Section 02221 and testing requirements specified in Part B.2 of the CQA Plan? Please clarify. Since the trench is backfilled with soil, sections of the specifications pertaining to soil, such as 02221, are implied to govern the work. The same applies to the CQA plan. However, additional language was added to the paragraph to alert the contractor to the continuing requirement to meet the specifications and the CQA plan. iii. (Paragraph 3.03) The specified geonet connection should be referred to Paragraph 3.02. Please correct typo. The typo was corrected. iv. (Paragraph 3.05) The minimum thickness of a cushion layer of soil/earthen material overlain the GDN must be specified here to prevent the installed GDN from damage from construction of the specified compacted soil liner which is constructed on top of the GDN. A minimum layer has been specified. 11. (Section 13320, Landfill Gas Vents) i. Paragraph 2.01 should specify the dimensions of the gas vent trench as shown Sheet No. 8. Additionally, to avoid the waste being exposed to daylight while in trenching, the maximum length of trench should be constructed must be specified. The minimum dimensions for the pit has been added to the plan. The excavation is for pits mot for a trench, so no additional language was added to address the length of trench that could be opened at one time. ii. Where the geotextile specified in Paragraphs 2.02 & 3.02 will be used in the gas venting system? The geotextile is not shown on details of gas venting system on Sheet No.8. Response to 1/14/2019 Review Comments Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill, Permit 68-04 May 28, 2019 DAA PN: R00592-179N Page 5 of 15 The geotextile was intended to be placed in the bottom and along the side of the pit excavated for the vent. A callout has been added to the detail on Sheet 8 identifying the geotextile. iii. The record of locations of buried asbestos-containing material or wastes should be documented as stated in the Section 2.5.3 (on Page IV-7) of the Operations Report. The statement in Paragraph 3.01. is incorrect. The paragraph has been modified to correct this. iv. The vent pipe system construction sequences in in Paragraph 3.02. B are not consistent to the details on Sheet No. 8. Is there a layer of geotextile to be place in the bottom of the trench to separate #57 stone and waste? Yes, there is a layer of geotextile to be installed during the construction of the vents. It has been called out on the appropriate detail on Sheet 8. SECTION III - CQA Plan 12. (Part A.6) Should deviation of the approved CQA or Specification or design of the landfill during the construction period occur, the County must submit the change order document or a written request of an approval of the deviation from the SWS prior to implementing the change. Engineering judgement, made by a licensed Professional Engineer of the State of North Carolina, on the change order in the construction period may be considered on a case-by-case basis. These deviations must be a portion of the certified CQA report in Part E – Final Documentation. Noted. Nothing was added to the document stating such. It is the intent of the County to have their construction project meet the requirements as laid out in the CQA Plan and the technical specifications. The County will address any changes at the time should they arise. 13. (Part B.1) i. The ASTM D422 has been withdrawn by the subcommittee. Please provide the new testing method. The preferred new test methods are listed. ii.

The confined pressure and hydraulic gradient must be specified according landfill cover condition. ASTM D 5084 has been added to the plan. iii. Please add the shear testing specification for the earthen material to be used for constructing 18-inch-thichk infiltration layer to the table. The shear strength criteria must be consistent to those used in the Slope Stability Analysis. ASTM D 3080 has been added to the plan. 14. (Part B.2) i. The frequency of confirming each layer thickness of the final cover system shall be consistent with the specification of Part E.2.d (50-ft by 50-ft grid). Please correct the typos in the table. The typos have been corrected. ii. Please add the hydraulic conductivity testing specification for earthen material to be used for constructing 18-inch-thichk infiltration layer to the table. The confined pressure and hydraulic gradient must be specified according landfill cover condition. ASTM D 5084 has been added to the plan. 15. (Part C.1.c, Conformance Testing) i. What are conformance test items? Please specify. Testing methods have been added in Part C.2.c. ii. The interface shear strength between geocomposite and earthen material (Compacted soil liner and intermediate soil cover) must be tested to ensure the final cover system can safely stand according to the slope stability analysis stated in the Engineering Plan and Closure & Post-closure Plan. Test method and frequency should be added to this section. Testing methods have been added in Part C.2.c. 16. (Part C.1.e.2) Does the County propose using GCL for the landfill project? If not, please remove this item. The GCL has been removed from the plan in Part C.2.e. Response to 1/14/2019 Review Comments Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill, Permit 68-04 May 28, 2019 DAA PN: R00592-179N Page 7 of 15 17. (Part C.1.e.f) According to Sheet No. 8- Landfill Gas Vent details, there is no clamp to tight the geocomposite to the PVC vent pipe riser, but bentonite/soil mixture plug is proposed. Please revise the specification to consist the drawing details. The specification has been revised to be consistent with the detail. 18. (Part D.3) The passive gas vent will be placed inside trench as shown on the drawing Sheet No. 8. Please revise the specification requirement to match the proposal. The specification has been updated. 19. (Part D.4) Geosynthetic liner material - geomembrane will not be used for the final cover system; therefore, the MQA & CQA for a seam strength of the liner material are not applicable in this project. Additionally, this part should specify the CQA requirements for compacted soil liner such compaction effort, hydraulic conductivity, soil type etc. as specified in Part B. Reference to geosynthetic material has been eliminated to only the geocomposite drainage net. Additional CQA requirements were added pertaining to the soil layers placed on top of the GDN. 20. (Part E.2.b) The licensed surveyor must be registered in the State of North Carolina, not Virginia. Corrected as noted. 21. (Part E.2.d) i. Are there subparts E.2.d. 2) & 3) - Erosion/Vegetative Support Layer & top soil layer? Or just a typo. Sections for Infiltration layer and Vegetative support layers have been added. ii.

If the County intends to use please download the fire occurrence report at the following web link and append to the Operations Plan. https://files.nc.gov/ncdeq/Waste%20Management/DWM/SW/Forms/FireOccurrenceRep ort.pdf The report form has been added to the plan. 30. (Attachment IV-C, Section 5.5) The person to be contacted for an emergency at the facility must be updated. Contact information has been updated. 31. There are two temporary disaster debris sites – C&D waste/ DS68-002 and vegetative waste/DS68-001 at the C&DLF Phases 2&3 area. Please describe the site operations after a nature disaster declamation was made of the State Governor. The descriptions of operations for each unit may include, but not limited to, the time to start and terminate operating waste activities (6 months), permitted waste streams at each unit, acreages of each unit, the maximum volume/capacity of each unit (dimensions of stockpiles), waste operations – storage, separation, treatment, processes, recycling, and/or disposal. The info will be incorporated into the permit. A brief description was added to the narrative to reference the two disaster debris management sites. These sites were pre-authorized with the Department under separate and independent processes. The disaster debris sites are not permitted sites until such time that the County contacts the Department and requests activation of the site(s). Language was added to the document to alert the reader to look for other guidance specific to the management of the storm debris sites.

Please use NCDEQ instead of DENR throughout this plan. The changes have been made. 33. (Section 2.1.3) i. According to the Drawing No. 8 of the typical details of the final cover system, a minimum of 12-inch-thick intermediate/weekly cover will be one of the component of the proposed final cover system; but the Section 2.1.3 (under sub-section 1. Plan Sheets) proposes that “top soil stripped from intermediate cover will be stockpiled for use during final closure.” This statement may create some level of confusion that County may remove the intermediate soil cover prior to installing the final cover system. Please clarify the intention of this proposal in this section. A sentence clarifying the intent to retain the 12” thickness was added. ii. Please add a typical detail of the described diversion berms on the drawing. By the way, is the symbol DD on Drawing No. 6 referring the diversion berm? A detail has been added to the plan set and the legend was updated to include the symbol DD. iii. Add the minimum thickness of the intermediate/weekly cover to this Section. A clarifying sentence was added to the description of layers. 34. (Section 2.1.6) i. The SWS record shows the LFG trench was completely constructed in February 2010. This Section or Section 3.2 of the Operations Report of the application should describe the as-built conditions of the trench and venting system and the status of gas migration results from the completion of this intercept trench. The Drawing No. 8 doesn’t contain any gas interception trench details. Please provide the current condition of the system, not the proposed one. The cutoff trench description was included in the Operations Report. Details for the interception trench were not added to the plan. The plan is for the closure of the C&D landfill, and the detail provided is for the Response to 1/14/2019 Review Comments Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill, Permit 68-04 May 28, 2019 DAA PN: R00592-179N Page 12 of 15 future installment of gas vents that may be needed when the landfill is eventually capped. The details of the trench are included in the Orange County C&D Landfill Gas Remediation Plan, included as a new Attachment V-5 to the Closure and Post Closure Plan. ii. A layer of geocomposite material will be placed between the gas trench/intermediate cover and compacted soil liner as shown on Figure 8. The section must describe the material and construction specifications (Section 13302?) of this geocomposite material. According to the specification – Section 13320, it is likely a layer of geotextile will be placed inside the bottom of the gas trench to separate waste and backfill aggregate. If this is correct, please revise the section accordingly. The narrative has been updated to include the use of geotextile to separate the stone from the waste. The “trench” that will be dug for the future gas vents to be installed at the time of capping have been updated to “trench/pit” to avoid the confusion with the trench that installed along the western side of the landfill. 35. (Section 2.3) The remaining air space/capacity of Phase1 should be 74,800 CY. Corrected as noted. 36. (Section 3.1) The person for the facility point-of-contact contacted must be updated. The contact has been updated to reflect the changes in personnel that occurred in 2018. 37. (Section 3.3 & Attachment V-1) Should the surface water quality in the adjacent surface water-body be a part of water quality monitoring program. Additionally, the inspection and maintenance of the sediment basin(s) associated with this landfill must be routinely inspected and maintained to avoid siltation. This program is not available in the Post- Closure Plan. The sediment basin is regulated under the coverage provided by the State NPDES general permit issued for the site. The site complies with inspections of the surface water under that permit. Once all earth disturbance activities cease at the landfill, and the site has been stabilized, the erosion control features will be removed in accordance with the NPDES permit.

(Sections 3.3.1 & 3.3.2 & Attachment V-1) For any gas or groundwater monitoring wells, the inspection and O&M programs in the post-closure care period should include, but not limited to, the inspection of a well casing lock, identification tag or placard containing well data, and/or a concrete pad including bollards to protect the well casing, if installed. Please include theses inspection items to the Section 3.3.1 & 3.3.2. The narrative has been updated to include the requested inspections. 39. (Section 3.4.2 & & Attachment V-1) The access roads/paths to the monitoring locations must be of all-weather construction and maintained in good condition. Please add this requirement to this Section. The narrative has been updated to include the required access conditions. 40. (Section 3.4.6) The SWS file system doesn’t contain “The Landfill Gas Remediation Plan” prepared by DAA, dated December 16, 2009. Please append a copy of this document to the Closure and Post-Closure Plan. A copy has been attached to the plan as Attachment V-5. 41. (Sections 3.4.5 or 3.5) Please describe the inspection and repair of leachate outbreak at the side slopes of the final cover system, which are listed in the inspection checklist (& Attachment V-1). Language has been added to the narrative to address the potential for leachate seeps. 42. (Section 4.3) Per NCGS 130A-295.2(h1), the County shall provide a financial assurance (FA) at least one million dollars in costs for potential assessment and corrective action (PACA) at the facility. This PACA FA is subjected to annual adjustment of for inflation since FY-2009 and is additional FA to the costs covering the ongoing corrective action programs at this landfill facility. The need for the $1,000,000 PACA has been added to the narrative and a statement that the FA is updated annually has been included. 43. (Attachment V-2) Please revise the closure cost estimate accordingly. i. The Cost Item XII should include the costs for proposed diversion berms, slope drains, and outlet energy dissipaters/stabilizer (riprap), Culverts 4A through 4C, & storm drains toward the Sediment Basin. The requested items have been added to the cost estimate. ii. The Cost Item XIII associated with landfill gas vent system: Response to 1/14/2019 Review Comments Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill, Permit 68-04 May 28, 2019 DAA PN: R00592-179N Page 14 of 15 a. Provide the prices and quantities for 6-inch-diameter PVC piping, #57 stones, 6oz/square yard geotextile, installation, etc. b. Cost of linear footage of trenching excavation and backfill per vent. c. According to Drawing No. 6, there are 11 gas vents will be installed over 7.7-acre closed cap, not 8 vents. Please revise the cost estimate. The cost estimate contains costs for the future landfill gas vents to be installed on the landfill. The lump sum price for each vent includes the components and installation costs associated with the vents. The cost estimate is to reflect the largest permitted area to be closed. Currently the landfill is only permitted to operate in Phase 1, which is 7.7 acres in size. Drawing Sheet 6 shows the ultimate build out of the entire C&D landfill. In that case, 11 vents would be required. If you were to only include the vents shown within the Phase 1 footprint, there would only need to be 5 vents installed. The conservative approach of including one per acre in the cost estimate actually provides for greater cost protection than is warranted. 44. (Attachment V-2) Please revise the post-closure cost estimate accordingly. i. Please add the cost for surface water monitoring. Costs were added to the Sediment Basin sampling section of the cost estimate to cover these costs. ii. Cost Item I – Groundwater Monitoring. There are 8 wells shown on Drawing No. 2. Please explain why 5 wells are considered in the estimate. The C&D landfill shares several of its down-gradient wells with the closed MSW units (the shared wells represent the up-gradient wells for the MSW unit). The lower number was included because those shared wells are accounted for in the MSW post closure care cos estimates. The post closure cost estimate for the C&D landfill was updated to reflect all 8 wells to avoid confusion. iii. Cost Item II. Should the costs associated with maintain/repair gas vent system in the constructed gas intercept trench be considered in the post- closure period? No. The trench is considered in the LFG monitoring and maintenance section of the cost estimate. The only anticipated maintenance for the Response to 1/14/2019 Review Comments Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill, Permit 68-04 May 28, 2019 DAA PN: R00592-179N Page 15 of 15 trench would be the replacement of some of the vent piping extending above grade due to eventual deterioration form the sun/weather elements. Since being installed, no maintenance has been required. The piping is relatively inexpensive and is readily available onsite for other operations on the facility should the need arise. iv. Cost Item IV. Should the cost for repairing leachate outbreak area be considered? Costs to repair leachate outbreaks is considered in the cap maintenance section of the cost estimate. v. The costs associated with repairing road for all-weather condition, security control devices. A general maintenance cost was added to the cost estimate to account for various items not specifically addressed in the cost estimate. Additional gravel to repair possible damaged sections to the access roads and fencing repairs would fall into this category. 45. (Attachment V-4) i. Please provide the reference(s) for the veneer/infinite slope analysis used in the project. ii. The input data for global slope stability analysis shows the side slope of the final cover system is approximately 25.6 degree measured from horizontal surface, not the proposed side slope 2.8 degree or (3.5 to 1 slope) as stated in Section 2.1.4 of the Closure and Post-Closure Plan. iii. The geocomposite material will be displayed over the final cover system, the veneer/infinite slope analysis should be conducted to confirm the specified interface angle of 28 degree (as shown on Table in Section 2.14), between the layer of geocomposite and the overlain compacted soil liner and underlain intermediate material is safely standing during the 30-yr post-closure period and beyond.

The landfill is owned by Orange County. The facility operates under Permit 68-04. A permit to operate Phase 1 of the facility was issued on December 14, 2005 by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), which is now called the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). Phase 1 has been constructed and began receiving waste on June 1, 2006. The Phase 1 area is approximately 7.7 acres in size. Phases 2 and 3 are projected future phases, approximately 4.9 acres in size. Phases 4 and 5 will be a vertical extension of Phases 1 through 3. The following facility plan is provided to the Department of Environment Quality (NCDEQ) as part of a Permit Amendment Application for the continued operation of Phase 1. The facility plan is submitted in accordance with the following North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules: Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0533(a)(2) Permit amendment General Applications Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0534(b)(2)(F) Permit amendment General Requirements Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0535(b) Permit amendment Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0537 Facility Plan Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0547(3) Application for a Permit to Construct The previous permit modification submitted in February 2012, included modifications to the proposed base grades and final grades for Phases 2 and 3. The application also proposed an increase the previously-approved volume of the landfill by increasing the overall height by 11 feet and increasing the side slopes of the landfill from 4:1 to 3.5:1. The volume increase is 5.8 percent as calculated by comparing the proposed new volume to a newly measured volume of the previously approved base and final grades. These modifications, which were subsequently approved by the NCDEQ, are included in the current design. The facility includes an undisturbed buffer of 12.9 acres through an agreement between Orange County and Duke University. An easement with Duke University gives Orange County the right to maintain a 200-foot site buffer on the north and west between the C&D landfill and the Duke Forest. It also stipulates that an additional distance of 20 feet on the Orange County side is maintained in its existing vegetative state. The lease agreement is included in Appendix 1 to the Construction Plan application. Appendix 2 of the Construction Plan application contains the legal description of the landfill property. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal - Facility Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page I-2 2.0 WASTE STREAM 2.1 Types The landfill is permitted to accept construction and demolition (C&D) debris, land clearing debris, inert debris, and asphalt. Construction and demolition debris is defined in NC General Statutes as waste or debris resulting solely from construction, remodeling, repair, or the demolition of pavement, buildings, or other structures. Inert debris will include waste brick, block and uncontaminated soils. Specific waste may be accepted at the landfill if it is determined to be suitable by the Division of Solid Waste Management. The landfill operator will assume the responsibility to inspect incoming waste and refuse questionable wastes until the waste involved is determined to be acceptable under the Division of Solid Waste Management’s “Procedure and Criteria for Waste Management Determination” which, under 15A NCAC 13B. 0103(d), will be used to determine whether a waste is: (1) hazardous waste as defined by 15A NCAC 13A, and (2) suitable for disposal at a solid waste management facility. If there is an attempt to dispose of unpermitted waste at this facility, the Division of Solid Waste Management will be notified within 24 hours of the attempted disposal. Orange County ceased operations and formally closed the onsite MSW Landfill in 2014. Currently municipal solid waste discovered in the C&D stream is either directed to outside MSW facilities (entire loads) or collected and transported to the City of Durham Transfer Station (Permit No. 3212-TRANSFER-2014). Other wastes handled at the Eubanks Road facility, include white goods, clean metal, and recyclables are directed to special designated handling areas. These materials will not be disposed of in the C&D landfill. In accordance with Rule .0505(11)(b), no hazardous or liquid waste may be accepted for disposal. The C&D landfill will also not accept the following items, as defined in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.10(f) and Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0542(e) except when defined as noted: • municipal solid waste (MSW), including household, commercial and industrial waste, except where the Division finds that waste meets the requirements of Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0503(2)(d)(ii); • Garbage (putrescible waste) • hazardous waste, including hazardous waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators; • polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastes as defined in 40 CFR 761; • barrels and drums (except fiber drums containing asbestos), unless they are empty and sufficiently perforated; • friable asbestos; • yard trash defined as solid waste consisting solely of vegetative matter resulting from landscaping maintenance; Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal - Facility Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page I-3 • if received separate from the waste stream: lead pipes, bulbs, lighting ballast or fixtures, thermostats and light switches, transformers, capacitors, and CCA or creosote treated woods; • Liquid wastes; • Medical waste; • Radioactive waste; • Septage and sludge waste, unless for the sole utilization as a soil conditioner and in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0542(d); • Special wastes; • White goods; • other wastes specifically banned from landfill disposal by rule or statute, such as acid batteries, tires, oil, and aluminum cans; • Previously crushed, unidentifiable C&D waste that is not from a facility that is permitted to provide such materials • Used oil • Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) • Aluminum cans • Whole scrap tires, as provided in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.58(b) • Lead-acid batteries, as provided in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.70 • Motor vehicle oil filters • Recyclable rigid plastic containers • Wooden pallets, except that wooden pallets may be disposed of in a landfill that is permitted to only accept construction and demolition debris • Oyster shells • Discarded computer equipment, as defined in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.131 • Discarded televisions, as defined in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.131 Wastes not listed above can generally be accepted at the landfill. A load inspection system has been established. The load inspection program is largely based on the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) “Waste Screening” Training Program. As an initial waste inspection, the scale attendant will determine from the waste hauler the nature and origin of the waste being delivered. Unacceptable waste discovered at this point will either be turned away or directed to a proper disposal/handling facility. New or unfamiliar haulers will be subject to detailed questioning as to the character of their loads. Refer to Figures 1-3 of Appendix IV-C of the Operations Manual. Random inspections will be performed on incoming waste loads so as to screen out the above listed wastes. Loads will be inspected at the frequency of at least 1% of the commercial and industrial haulers, or loads mixed with residential waste, but no less than 50 inspections per year. The facility operator will conduct detailed inspections of the loads of commercial and industrial waste or loads mixed with residential waste. The waste load will be diverted to specially constructed pad made of low permeability earth near to the operating face. The pad is constructed as illustrated in Appendix IV-C of the Operations Manual. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal - Facility Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page I-4 The incoming loads will be inspected as illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of Appendix IV-C of the Operations Manual. A record will be kept of the inspection on a form similar to that illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 of Appendix IV-C. Inspection records will be kept on file at the landfill office. Unacceptable waste may be photographed for purposed of maintaining a complete record. Unacceptable non-hazardous waste will be removed from the site by the hauler who brought it on site. Hazardous waste will be treated in accordance with the Contingency Plan located in the Waste Screening Procedure, Appendix IV-C of the Operations Manual. In addition to the random screening described above, the equipment operators, spotter and on site inspector will observe the incoming waste as it is dumped during normal operations. If the material cannot be identified, the material will be relocated to the appropriate handling area or isolated as described under the Contingency Plan. Records of inspections, rejected waste and unacceptable waste that was removed from the site will be kept in the Operating Record. The records will be kept for the life of the site plus thirty years. The Operating Record will be subject to inspection at any time. Regulated hazardous waste found at the site will be reported to the NCDEQ Solid Waste Section for consultation as to proper handling procedures. 2.2 Average Monthly Disposal Rates The table below summarizes the tonnage landfilled at the facility. Daily waste intake is based on 5½ days per week and 5 holidays per year. Table I-1 Landfilled Tonnage Fiscal Year Tons Landfilled Tons Per Month, Average Tons Per Day, Average 2006 - 2010 50,824.84 1,037 44 2010 - 2011 7,944.41 662 28 2011 - 2012 7,492.07 624 27 2012 - 2013 8,358.83 697 30 2013 - 2014 6,570.33 548 23 2014 - 2015 6,318.77 527 23 2015 - 2016 7,114.23 593 25 Total 94,623.48 782 33 As shown, the average monthly tonnage rate is about 782 tons and the average daily is approximately 33 tons. The actual monthly rate is seasonal- related and may vary Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal - Facility Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page I-5 by +/- 20%. The actual daily rate may vary from the average by +/- 50%. The variation is dependent upon a number of factors such as weather, holidays and local events. The site was mapped aerially on March 3, 2017. This mapping was compared with the base grades at Phase 1, which, as noted above, began filling on June 1, 2006. As of the date of mapping, the site was filled to approximately 207,149 cubic yards during the 10.1-year period. The site uses soil as weekly cover. Based on a 9:1 waste/soil ratio, the landfill uses approximately 27 cubic yards of cover soil per week. 2.3 Service Area The landfill will accept waste only from within the County of Orange including the Towns of Chapel Hill, Hillsborough and Carrboro. 2.4 Segregated Management The landfill is permitted as a C&D landfill. To the east and southeast of the landfill is facility Permit 68-01. Permit 68-01 includes a MSW landfill unit closed in 2014, a MSW landfill unit closed in 1998, and a C&D disposal unit closed in 2006. Each disposal unit has groundwater and gas monitoring systems. 2.5 Equipment The 68-04 facility currently uses the following equipment. C&D Landfill: • one dozer • one compactor Additional equipment can be obtained from other facility operations as needed. The additional equipment includes, but may not be limited to: Previous MSW Landfill Equipment: • two compactors • one dozer • one Posi-Shell sprayer • one water truck Wood Grinding Operation: • horizontal grinder • track loader • hydraulic excavator • conveyor • Trommel screen Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal - Facility Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page I-6 Metal and Whitegoods Handling: • hydraulic excavator • two 90 cubic yard trailers Mulch Management: • one wheel loader Miscellaneous: • dozer • motor grader • sweeper • water truck • repair truck This equipment is adequate for operations. Equipment from one area can supplement equipment in other waste management areas. In the event of an extended breakdown of equipment, the County has funds set aside for temporary rental of replacement equipment. 3.0 LANDFILL CAPACITY 3.1 Capacity/Life Expectancy The total landfill capacity, the individual phase capacities, and projected year each phase begins are summarized in the following table. Table I-2 Landfill Capacity Phase Capacity (cubic yards) Net Remaining Airspace (cubic yards) Area (Acres) Remaining Site Life (years) Projected Date Filled Phase 1 (active) 282,000 74,800 7.7 9.4 2026 Phases 2 & 3 257,000 257,000 4.9 32.3 2058 Phases 4 & 5 189,000 189,000 N/A 23.7 2082 Final Cover 62,000 62,000 12.6 Total (Gross Capacity) 790,000 582,000 12.6 65.4 Notes: 1. Remaining Site life begins with a start date of March 3, 2017, the date of the latest aerial mapping. 2. Net Remaining Airspace and projected fill date assumes the utilization rate calculated between March 2011 and March 2015. 3. Phase capacity does not include final cover. Final cover volume is included as a separate line item and is included in the Gross Capacity volume. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal - Facility Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page I-7 As of March 3, 2017, Phase 1 had a remaining airspace capacity of approximately 74,000 cubic yards. Assuming that the landfill usage remains relatively constant, Phase 1 will reach capacity in 2026. Again assuming that the usage remains relatively constant, Phases 2 and 3 will reach capacity in 2058, and Phases 4 and 5 will reach capacity in 2082. Conceptual facility development will consist of five phases. Future Phases 2 through 5 will be addressed in detailed design in requests to construct and requests to operate those Phases. Phases 2 and 3 will be adjacent to Phase 1 on the eastern side, while Phases 4 and 5 will “over-fill” Phases 1 through 3, as shown on the cross-sections on Sheet 7 of the Permit Amendment Drawings. The conceptual gross capacity of the landfill is 790,000 cubic yards, which includes the volume of the final cap system. This gross capacity is a 1.9 percent increase from the previously permitted gross capacity of the landfill, specified in the Construction Plan Application prepared for this facility by Joyce Engineering, Inc. dated May 2003. The gross capacity of Phase 1 is 282,000 cubic yards, approximately the same as the original Phase 1 capacity of 281,533 cubic yards. 3.2 Soil Resources Soil excavated from Phase 1 was stockpiled in the future Phases 2 and 3 area. This soil has been used for daily cover during operations. Additional soil is imported from local construction projects and stockpiled for weekly cover. 3.3 Required Soil Quantities Table I-3 Soil Quantities Required Soil Volume, cy Phase 1 - Development 8,000 Phase 1 - Weekly cover (26,000) Phases 2 & 3 - Development (7,600) Phases 2 & 3 - Weekly cover (24,000) Phases 4 & 5 - Weekly cover (16,000) Final cover (62,000) Soil Balance (127,600) Weekly cover volume assumes waste/soil ratio of 9:1. The quantities are rounded to the nearest 1,000 cubic yards. 3.4 Estimated Operating Life The landfill has an anticipated remaining operating life of approximately 65.4 years, beginning in March 3, 3017. Phase 1 has an anticipated remaining operating life of Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal - Facility Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page I-8 approximately 9.4 years. It is possible that the next permit amendment application will include development of Phases 2 and 3 if useage is increased. 4.0 CONTAINMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEMS The Orange County Landfill is designed to meet State Rules for containment as follows: 4.1 Cap Design The final cover, or cap, will be placed on top of the intermediate cover. The following components, from the bottom up, are included in the cap design: Geocomposite gas venting layer 18 inches infiltration layer @ 1x10-5 cm/sec 12 inches cushion layer of off-site material 6 inches off-site vegetative layer 4.2 Landfill Gas Detection Monitoring Landfill gas monitoring probes have been installed around the perimeter of the landfill unit. The Gas Control Plan is included as Attachment IV-F to the Operations Report. 4.3 Landfill Gas Venting Due to methane concentrations above the lower explosive limit (LEL) being detected in various probes, a landfill gas interception trench has been installed at the facility. Initially, methane concentrations in GP-CD4 through GP-CD8, and GP-CD13 exceeded the LEL. During further investigation of landfill gas migration limits, monitoring of newly-constructed probes GP-CD6R and GP-CD8R indicated the presence of methane, with GP-CD5R in exceedance of the LEL. Through the installation and monitoring of probes GP-14 through GP-18 and a subsequent landfill gas migration study, it was determined that a landfill gas interception trench should be installed along the western perimeter of the waste disposal area. The location of trenching and vents is shown on the Permit Amendment Drawings. The Landfill Gas Remediation Plan by Draper Aden Associates dated December 16, 2009 contains additional background information, plans and specifications for the interception trench. The construction of the trench is documented in a summary report which is included in NC DEQ solid waste records as Document Identification Number 10320. The presence of methane along the western side of the C&D landfill is believed to have been the result of organic matter being buried beneath the area of the perimeter road prior to the construction of the C&D landfill. It is believed that prior land clearing activities were carried out in the area by pushing the vegetative cover towards the property boundary. By essentially capping this material with a road, gas was forced to Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal - Facility Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page I-9 migrate to the west to escape. The collection trench was installed between the line of wells comprised of GP-CD6 through GP-CD08 and the line of replacement wells GP-CD6R through GP-CD08R. Results from monitoring the replacement gas wells following installation on the trench showed that the trench had the desired effect of eliminating the presence of methane at the property line. A landfill gas venting system will be installed at the time of closure. The system includes landfill gas vents within the waste footprint and a landfill gas collection layer below the low-permeability component of the landfill cap. The gas venting system is described in the Gas Control Plan included as Attachment IV-F to the Operations Report. Additional venting may be necessary as determined in accordance with the Gas Control Plan. 4.4 Groundwater Monitoring A network of monitoring wells is in place around the landfill. Groundwater quality will be monitored from these wells under a separate Groundwater Monitoring Plan, included as Attachment IV-E to the Operations Report. 5.0 LEACHATE MANAGEMENT There is no leachate collection or leachate management system in place or proposed for this facility. 6.0 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT 6.1 Run-On Control System 6.1.1 Peak Flow The Rational Method, along with the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Planning and Design Manual, was used to determine peak flows in various drainage areas on the site. The site was divided into several areas to efficiently size diversion ditches. A 25-year, 24-hour storm event was used as the design basis. 6.1.2 Design and Performance The run on control system consists of a series of ditches along the perimeter of the landfill. Where access roads are adjacent to the landfill, the roadside ditch is sized and used as part of the run on control system. The channels divert stormwater to the sedimentation basin and/or away from the active section of the facility. Locations and dimensions of culverts and conveyance channels are shown on the plans. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal - Facility Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page I-10 6.1.3 Construction The perimeter diversion ditches are to be constructed in accordance with the attached specifications. The construction inspection program will include documentation of the dimensions of ditches (length, width, depth,) and slopes of each ditch. 6.2 Run-Off Control System 6.2.1 Peak Flow Peak flow has been determined using the Rational Method and the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Planning and Design Manual. A 25-year, 24-hour storm event was used as the design basis. Runoff is to be collected into diversion ditches and directed to the sedimentation basin located as shown on the plans. 6.2.2 Design and Performance Runoff is collected in the sedimentation basin, allowing sediment to settle out and controlling the outflow. The basins have been designed previously using the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Planning and Design Manual as guidance. Locations and dimensions of culverts and conveyance channels are shown on the plans. 6.2.3 Construction Construction and inspection of run-off features will be in accordance with the specifications included in Appendix II-B of this plan and construction details contained on the Drawings.

The site is approximately 2.5 miles northwest of Chapel Hill and 3.5 miles north of Carrboro. A near vicinity map showing the site location is included on the cover sheet of the drawings. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 2 1.5 GENERAL FACILITY INFORMATION 1.5.1 Site Life and Capacity Phase Capacity (cubic yards) Net Remaining Airspace (cubic yards) Area (Acres) Remaining Site Life (years) Projected Date Filled Phase 1 (active) 282,000 74,800 7.7 9.4 2026 Phases 2 & 3 257,000 257,000 4.9 32.3 2058 Phases 4 & 5 189,000 189,000 N/A 23.7 2082 Final Cover 62,000 62,000 12.6 Total (Gross Capacity) 790,000 582,000 12.6 65.4 Notes: 1. Remaining Site life begins with a start date of March 3, 2017, the date of the latest aerial mapping. 2. Net Remaining Airspace and projected fill date assumes the utilization rate calculated between March 2011 and March 2016. 3. Phase capacity does not include final cover and is included in the Gross Capacity volume. Between the opening of Phase 1 on June 1, 2006 and March 19, 2010, approximately 99,600 cubic yards of waste/soil were placed in Phase 1. This is approximately 20,750 cubic yards per year. Assuming a 5 ½ day work week, this is about 75 cubic yards per day. This total includes waste and weekly and intermediate cover materials. Between the March 2011 and March 2016, approximately 39,800 cubic yards of waste/soil were placed in Phase 1. The calculated Airspace Utilization Rate for this period is approximately 7,900 cubic yards per year. Assuming a 5 ½ day work week, this is about 22 cubic yards per day including waste, weekly cover, and intermediate cover material. The total facility development will consist of five phases with a total remaining expected life of approximately 65 years, beginning in March 3, 2017. Phase 2 will be developed adjacent to Phase 1 on the eastern side, Phase 3 will “over-fill” Phase 2, and Phases 4 and 5 will “over-fill” Phases 1 through 3 as shown on the cross-sections on Sheet 7. The waste/soil volume remaining in Phase 1 is approximately 74,800 cubic yards. Assuming usage remains relatively constant, Phase 1 will reach capacity in July 2026. The waste/soil volume in Phases 2 and 3 is approximately 257,000 cubic yards. Again, assuming usage remains relatively constant, Phases 2 and 3 will reach capacity in October 2058. The waste/soil volume in Phases 4 and 5 is approximately 189,000 cubic yards. Again, assuming usage remains relatively constant, Phases 4 and 5 will reach capacity in 2082. Including placement of the final cover, the gross capacity of the landfill is 790,000 Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 3 cubic yards. This gross capacity is approximately a 1.9 percent increase from the previously permitted gross capacity of the landfill. The capacities in the above table were obtained by a grid-type volume calculation in Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D. The calculations are a comparison of the permitted base grades and the proposed grades as they are shown on the Permit Amendment Drawings. Excavated material that is unsuitable for use as structural fill or for construction of the cap will be segregated for use as weekly cover. Approximately 8,000 net cubic yards of material was excavated to construct the Phase 1 disposal area, sediment basin, and other erosion control features. Approximately 7,600 net cubic yards of fill will be required to achieve base grades at Phases 2 and 3. The following soil balance table reflects a waste to soil ratio of 9:1: Soil Volume, cy Phase 1 - Development 8,000 (cut) Phase 1 - Weekly cover (26,000) Phases 2 & 3 - Development (7,600) Phases 2 & 3 - Weekly cover (24,000) Phases 4 & 5 - Weekly cover (16,000) Final cover (62,000) Soil Balance (127,600) Weekly cover volume assumes waste/soil ratio of 9:1. The quantities are rounded to the nearest 1,000 cubic yards. 1.5.2 Municipalities, Industries and Collection and Transportation Agencies Served The landfill accepts waste material from various commercial and residential sources from Orange County and all municipalities contained therein. 1.5.3 Waste Types and Quantities to be Processed The facility accepts construction and demolition (C&D) debris, land clearing debris, inert debris, and asphalt. All other waste is prohibited from disposal. Construction and demolition debris is waste or debris resulting solely from construction, remodeling, repair, or demolition operations on pavement, buildings, or other structures. Inert debris will include waste brick, block, and uncontaminated soil. The C&D landfill accepted 67,520 tons of waste from June 1, 2006 through 2010, which is an average of 13,307 tons per year, or approximately 44 tons per day. The annual tonnage ranged from 8,324 tons in 2010 to a high of 17,791 tons in 2007. Monthly tonnages landfilled averaged 1,026 tons. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 4 The landfill accepted approximately 43,800 tons of waste from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2016, which is an average of 7,300 tons per year, or approximately 26 tons per day. The annual tonnage ranged from 6,318 tons per year in FY 2014-2015 to a high of 8,359 tons in FY 2012-2013. Monthly average tonnages landfilled is about 608 tons. From July 1, 2010, the following tons were placed in the landfill. Fiscal Year Tons Landfilled Volume Used, cy Cumulative Airspace Used, cy Airspace Remaining, cy 2010-2011 7944.41 2011-2012 7492.07 2012-2013 8358.83 5,292 137,100 144,900 2013-2014 6570.33 4,952 142,052 139,948 2014-2015 6318.77 8,029 150,081 131,919 2015-2016 7114.23 21,554 171,635 131,365 2016-2017 N/A 35,514 207,149 74,851 Based on 26 tons per day of incoming waste and 35.5 cubic yards of landfilled waste/soil per day at a 9:1 waste/soil ratio, the waste/soil has an in-place density of approximately 1,464 pounds per cubic yard. When mixed with soil, 1,173 pounds of waste will require one cubic yard of landfill airspace. 1.5.4 Flood Plains C&D waste is not located within the 100-year floodplain. 1.5.5 Site Access Access to the facility is controlled through a single entrance road. A gate controls access after operating hours. A sign containing the information required in Rule .0542(j) (i.e., acceptable wastes, hours, permit number, etc.) is posted at the facility entrance. Waste collection vehicles are weighed in (and out if tare weights are not available for that vehicle) at the scale house. Signs are posted directing traffic to separate areas of the facility. Traffic will move from the scales to the landfill via an all-weather haul road. The layout of haul roads may change as needed during the course of landfill development so there is convenient access to active disposal areas. Access roads are maintained to remain passable during most weather conditions. An attendant will remain on duty at the scale house during operating hours. The facility includes an undisturbed buffer through an easement agreement between Orange County and Duke University. The 200-ft wide buffer will be maintained around the property boundary on the north and west between the C&D landfill and the Duke Forest. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 5 It also stipulates that an additional distance of 20 feet on the Orange County side be maintained in its existing vegetative state. The easement is included in Appendix 1 to the Construction Plan Application. The eastern side of the facility is bounded by current recycling operations. 1.5.6 Utilities The entrance facility consists of a scale house which is equipped for use by the attendant with lights, phone and heat, as well as the scale equipment and computer. A maintenance building and a recycling building are located on the property. Access to these buildings is from the east, through adjacent property owned by Orange County. These buildings will remain through the operation of Phase 1, but will be removed prior to construction of Phases 2 and 3. The buildings have electricity to provide heat and lighting during inclement weather, telephone service to provide communications with the emergency response authorities, and sanitary facilities for the convenience of the operators. 1.5.7 Aesthetics No disposal activities will take place within the buffers set by the State. The buffers are shown on the plan sheets. The buffers will be, to the greatest extent possible, left wooded to provide a visual and noise barrier. 1.5.8 Location of Cells The horizontal limits of each phase are shown on Sheets 4 through 8 of the Permit Amendment drawings. The vertical limits of the phases are shown on the cross sections and on the Proposed Final Grades, Sheet 7. As the cross sections and contours demonstrates, at no point is the waste or the lining system within less than four feet of the seasonal high groundwater level. The horizontal limits of waste are marked in the field. 1.5.9 Benchmarks Two temporary benchmarks have been established on site to facilitate construction and operation of Phases 1 and 2. They have the following coordinates and elevations: Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 6 Benchmark No. Description Northing Easting Elevation TBM No. 1 Concrete Right of Way Monument 807134.8247 1974975.8820 542.69 TBM No. 2 Iron Pin in Property Line 805993.8517 1975671.9490 523.46 It may be necessary to establish additional benchmarks for future cell construction or other activities. 1.5.10 Borrow and Stockpile Areas Soil excavated from Phase 1 was used as structural fill for roads or for the Phase 1 base grades or stockpiled for later use. Soil at this area has been used for weekly cover during operations. Additional soil is imported from local construction projects. Off-site soil will be needed for operations and closure. 1.6 GENERAL SITE PLANS 1.6.1 Existing Conditions Sheet 2 of the attached plans shows the existing conditions at the site, including existing access roads, topography, structures, permitted waste limits, facility boundary, buffer zones, boring locations, property lines, and groundwater monitoring wells. Topography is based on an aerial surveys completed by Suttles Engineering on March 19, 2010 and by Summit Design and Engineering Services on March 3, 2017As reflected on the topography, Phase 1 filling has reached grades as high as 560 feet in elevation. Topographic features shown above the 560 elevation are temporary stockpiled material. The site outside of the Phase 1 footprint, where landfilling has occurred, is characterized by gently sloping hillsides ranging in elevation from 510 to 560 feet above mean sea-level (MSL). 1.6.2 Base Grades Sheet 3, ‘Phase 1 Base Grades’, shows the base grades of the landfill at the time when Phase 1 was excavated to the subgrade. Base grades are a minimum of four feet above the seasonal high groundwater level shown on the drawing. Waste was placed directly above these base grades. This drawing reflects site conditions at the time of construction of Phase 1, including proposed grading, access roads, stormwater controls and erosion and sediment controls. This drawing also shows the areas of the facility set aside for specific operational uses during Phase 1 including Phase 1 limits of waste, areas for special waste handling within the landfill unit, waste storage, and recycling operations. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 7 Base grades are used to calculate the cumulative airspace volume presented as presented in the previous sections. Sheet 4, ‘Phases 2 & 3 Base Grades/Intermediate Grades’, shows the maximum grades that will occur during Phase 1 filling, as well as the cell development of Phases 2 and 3. The waste will be placed directly above these Phases 2 and 3 base grades. The Phase 1 grades shown on this drawing represent the grades of the top of the waste, not the final grades. Also shown are access road, stormwater controls and erosion and sediment controls as well as the areas of the facility that will be set aside for specific operational uses during Phases 2 and 3 including Phases 1 through 3 limits of waste, areas for special waste handling within the landfill unit, waste storage, and recycling operations. 1.6.3 Intermediate Grades Sheet 4, ‘Phases 2 & 3 Base Grades/Intermediate Grades’, shows the maximum grades that will occur during Phase 1 filling. Sheet 5, ‘Phases 2 & 3 Intermediate Grades’, shows the maximum grades that will occur during filling. The grades shown on this drawing represent the grades of the top of the waste, not the final grades. Also shown are access roads, erosion and sediment control measures, and stormwater controls. 1.6.4 Final Grades Sheet 6, ‘Proposed Final Grades’, shows the final grades, after installation of the landfill cap, of Phases 1 and 2 including access roads, stormwater controls and erosion and sediment controls. Final contours have been designed with post-settlement surface slopes of at least five percent on top of the phase, and a maximum of 3.5 horizontal to 1 vertical (3.5H:1V) on the side slopes. Details of the proposed closure cap are provided on Sheet 8. 1.6.5 Cross Sections Sheet 7 of the attached plans show cross sections of the landfill. The cross sections are located on the state’s grid system which is shown on the plans. The coordinates of the cross sections and grid lines are North 807,340 and East 1,974,169. The cross sections show existing grade as well as the proposed final grade. 1.6.6 Details Sheet 8 provides construction details for the cap and for base grade preparation, a typical section for construction of the landfill perimeter, and details for the landfill gas vents and probes. Sheets 9 and 10 show details of proposed permanent and temporary erosion and sediment control best management practices. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 8 2.0 FACILITY DESIGN STANDARDS 2.1 FOUNDATION 2.1.1 Design Description Geologic and hydrogeologic characteristics are discussed within the approved Site Plan Application and the Addendum to the Site Plan Application. The landfill foundation consists of a thin layer of native soil material above the bedrock. The bedrock underlying the site consists of the “volcanic rock with associated sediments and subvolcanic plutonic rock” that are characteristic to the “Carolina Slate Belt”. The soil underlying the site consists of “dacitic to rhyolitic lithic tuffs, and by volcaniclastic epiclastics such as light to medium greenish-gray conglomerates, graywackes, and argillites.” 2.1.2 Subsurface Exploration Data The results of the subsurface exploration performed by Joyce Engineering are contained in the approved Site Plan Application and the Addendum to the Site Plan Application. 2.1.3 Engineering Analyses 2.1.3.1 Settlement Potential Site conditions encountered during the subsurface exploration program are expected to adequately support landfill construction without significant differential settlement. The subgrade consists of stiff residual soils which transition to weathered rock. Also, rock pinnacles are encountered in the subsurface profile. This type of subgrade is capable of supporting the landfill loads with little settlement. No manmade features or events that may result in a subsequent failure of containment structures are present on site. The proposed tract of land does not contain geologically unstable soils, sink holes, caverns or underground mines. 2.1.3.2 Bearing Capacity and Stability The boring logs indicate the blow counts for the Standard Penetration Test for the majority of the landfill are well over 100, indicating that there should be no difficulty with bearing capacity or stability. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 9 2.1.3.3 Bottom Heave or Blow-out Conditions necessary for bottom heave are not present at the landfill site. The phase elevations are a minimum of four feet above the maximum seasonal ground water elevation. The absence of a water table within the area of cuts and fills eliminates hydrostatic pressures. If it did exist, the weight of the cushion and refuse load should provide adequate weight to prevent bottom heave or blow-out. In addition, the base grade excavation of large portions of the site and construction of a deep drainage ditch should lower the groundwater level, further reducing the chances of bottom heave. 2.2 CAP SYSTEM Final grading of the site will be in accordance with the approved, and attached, plans. The landfill will be brought to the final grades shown, using the appropriate landfilling methods described in the Operations Report. The final cap will be installed after the final grades are reached. If needed at the time of closure, stockpiled soil material will be graded on site so that no stockpiles are left after closure. Side slopes on the fill are not to exceed 3.5:1 (28.6 percent). Diversion berms will be placed along the side slopes to intercept and divert stormwater runoff and limit erosion on the slopes. On the flatter top slopes, positive drainage will be maintained to reduce pooling of water on the fill. The top slope is to be a minimum of 5 percent. Diversion berms and downchutes will be constructed on the top slope to reduce channelization of runoff which may erode the final cover material. The cap will be installed in accordance with the attached specifications. The cap to be placed on the landfill will consist of four layers. The top layer will be a minimum six inch layer of topsoil or amended soil. This layer will serve as a vegetative layer to promote growth of grass. The second layer will consist of a 12-inch cushion layer to protect the cap system from freezing and other environmental stresses. This layer will consist of soils with no specific permeability requirement needed. The third layer will be a minimum 18-inch infiltration barrier layer of soil having a minimum permeability of 1 x 10-5 cm/sec that will drain to a ditch at the toe of the slope. The fourth layer will be a geocomposite gas collection medium, consisting of a drainage geonet with a nonwoven geotextile on either side. The cap will be placed on top of the intermediate/weekly cover soil layer which consists of 12 inches of soil placed as an operational cover over inactive areas waiting for final cover. Slope stability calculations are also included in Section 2.1.4.1. Specification Section 02292 of the Specifications in Attachment II-B of this plan contains detailed requirements for soil cap installation, QC/QA and inspection. Testing will be in accordance with the Construction Quality Assurance Plan. Testing documentation will be forwarded to the Division for their review and approval. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 10 2.3 RUN-ON CONTROL SYSTEM 2.3.1 Peak Flow The Rational Method, along with the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Planning and Design Manual, was used to determine peak flows in various drainage areas on the site. The site was divided into several areas to efficiently size diversion ditches. A 25-year, 24-hour storm event was used as the design basis. 2.3.2 Design and Performance The run on control system consists of a series of ditches along the perimeter of the landfill. Where access roads are adjacent to the landfill, the roadside ditch is sized and used as part of the run on control system. The channels divert stormwater to the sedimentation basin and/or away from the active section of the facility. Locations and dimensions of culverts and conveyance channels are shown on the plans. 2.3.3 Construction The perimeter diversion ditches have been constructed, or are to be constructed, in accordance with the attached specifications. The construction inspection program will include documentation of the dimensions of ditches (length, width, depth,) and slopes of each ditch. 2.4 RUN-OFF CONTROL SYSTEM 2.4.1 Peak Flow Peak flow has been determined using the Rational Method and the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Planning and Design Manual. A 25-year, 24-hour storm event was used as the design basis. Runoff is to be collected into diversion ditches and directed to the sedimentation basin located as shown on the plans. Peak flows to drainage structures for Phase 1 site conditions are indicated in the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan included in the Construction Plan Application. 2.4.2 Design and Performance Permanent diversion berms will be used to reduce erosion on the slopes of the landfill. The diversion berms will be placed to keep the overland flow from exceeding 200 feet, with most slope lengths less than 150 feet. The diversion berms discharge into downchutes which empty into stormwater channels around the perimeter of the landfill cell. The channels will carry flow to the sediment basin. Diversion berm channels are to be lined with soil stabilization matting; downchutes are lined with an erosion control mat product called Flexamat®; perimeter channels will be either grass/matting or a riprap/erosion control mat as shown on the drawings. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 11 Runoff is collected in the sedimentation basin, allowing sediment to settle out and controlling the outflow. The basin was designed previously using the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Planning and Design Manual as guidance. Design calculations for the sedimentation basin were included in the previously submitted and approved Construction Plan Application. 2.4.3 Construction Construction and inspection of run-off features will be in accordance with the specifications included in Attachment II-B of this plan and construction details contained on the Drawings. The sedimentation basin was constructed with the development of Phase 1. 2.5 LANDFILL GAS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 2.5.1 System Design Due to methane concentrations above the lower explosive limit (LEL) being detected in various probes, a landfill gas interception trench has been installed at the facility. Initially, methane concentrations in GP-CD4 through GP-CD8, and GP-CD13 exceeded the LEL. Through further investigation of landfill gas migration limits, monitoring of newly-constructed probes GP-CD6R and GP-CD8R indicated the presence of methane, with GP-CD5R in exceedance of the LEL. Through the installation and monitoring of probes GP-14 through GP-18 and a subsequent landfill gas migration study, it was determined that a landfill gas interception trench should be installed along the western perimeter of the waste disposal area. This trench has been installed since the 2012 C&D Permit Modification. The location of trenching and vents is shown on the Permit Amendment Drawings. The Landfill Gas Remediation Plan by Draper Aden Associates, dated December 16, 2009 contains additional background information, proposed actions, plans and specifications for the landfill gas interception trench. The Landfill Gas Remediation Plan by Draper Aden Associates dated December 16, 2009 contains additional background information, plans and specifications for the interception trench. A landfill gas venting system will be installed at the time of closure. The system includes landfill gas vents within the waste footprint and a landfill gas collection layer below the low-permeability component of the landfill cap. The gas venting system is described in the Gas Control Plan included as Attachment IV-F to the Operations Report. Additional venting may be necessary as determined in accordance with the Gas Control Plan. 2.5.2 Installation Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 12 Installation of the landfill gas interception trench, and of future landfill gas management components if necessary, was in accordance with the specifications contained in the Landfill Gas Remediation Plan. 2.5.3 Monitoring Methane monitoring probes have been installed during the first phase of the landfill. The probes are spaced around the perimeter of the landfill unit. Monitoring frequency and techniques are described in the ‘Closure’ section of this report. 2.6 GROUNDWATER QUALITY MONITORING SYSTEM A groundwater quality monitoring plan is included as Attachment IV-E to the Operations Report. The plan represents the controlling document for obtaining and analyzing representative groundwater samples from the uppermost aquifer underlying the existing facility. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 13 3.0 FACILITY DESIGN SUMMARY 3.1 ANALYTICAL METHODS The following landfill design features were determined with the aid of the described analytical method: 3.1.1 Drainage and Erosion and Sediment Control The Rational Method along with the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual, was used to determine peak flows in various drainage basins on the site. The site was divided into several areas to efficiently size diversion ditches. A 25 year 24- hour storm event was used as the design basis. 3.1.2 Storm Piping The North Carolina Department of Transportation Drainage Manual was used to determine the size of culverts needed. The Concrete Pipe Handbook, issued by the American Concrete Pipe Association, was used to determine the class of pipe required for the field conditions. 3.2 CRITICAL CONDITIONS The critical conditions evaluated and assumptions made are described in each part of this Engineering Plan for the particular system. 3.3 TECHNICAL REFERENCES The following technical references were used in the design. a. “Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual”, by the North Carolina Sedimentation Control Commission, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, and the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service. b. North Carolina Department of Transportation Drainage Manual. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 14 3.4 LOCAL RESTRICTION DEMONSTRATIONS 3.4.1 Floodplains (Rule .0503 (1)(a)) The Site Plan Application indicates that “there are no floodplains on the proposed site, and there are no floodplains within one-quarter mile radius of the proposed site”. 3.4.2 State Nature and Historic Preserve (Rule .0503 (1)(b)) The Site Plan Application indicates that “the site is not expected to cause an adverse impact on a State Park, recreation or scenic area”. Attachment II-A contains a study performed by Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. as a part of the Site Plan Application, and correspondence from the DENR Division of Parks and Recreation on significant natural areas in the landfill area. 3.4.3 Airport Safety (Rule .0503 (1)(c)) In accordance with Rule .10503(1)(c), “A new site disposing of putrescible wastes shall not be located within 10,000 feet of an airport runway used by turbojet aircraft or within 5,000 feet of an airport runway used by piston-type aircraft”. The Site Plan Application indicates that “although this application is for non-putrescible waste, it should be noted that there are no airport runways within 5000 feet of the site”. A copy of portion of the USGS quadrangle sheet for the region is included in Attachment II-A. 3.4.4 Suitable Cover Soils (Rule .0503 (1)(d)) According to the Site Plan Application, borings that were done as a part of the site study indicate that “it appears that suitable cover materials are available on site. However, if the property is developed to its maximum potential, it appears likely that borrow material for operational cover would need to be obtained from an adjacent landfill-owned property. A detailed borrow study would be completed prior to site development which would provide additional information concerning the quality and quantity of on-site soils”. Suitable on-site and off-site soils will be used for weekly and final cover. Testing of soils will be in accordance with the Construction Quality Assurance Plan. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Renewal- Engineering Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page II - 15 4.0 MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES Initial site preparation consists of installing necessary erosion and sediment control measures and clearing and grubbing of the project area. Construction includes earthwork and grading, installation of portions of the cap as the landfill operation progresses, and construction of drainage features. Construction will be in accordance with the attached specifications. Construction elevations and locations will be based on the benchmarks established in the field. If the points are lost or destroyed or require relocation, new points will be established by professionally qualified personnel. Field measurements will also be performed by qualified personnel. Unforeseen subsurface or latent physical conditions that differ from the plans or geotechnical report will be reported to the County and Engineer. Such unforeseen or differing conditions may warrant further investigations and testing to confirm compliance with the landfill construction design. Copies of specifications, drawings, addenda, modifications, shop drawings, and samples will be kept at the site. No change will be made during construction prior to the approval of the site engineer and those changes will be noted on the records and the records will be made available to the Engineer and County.

Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE This operations plan relates to the operation and maintenance of Phase 1 of the Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill. The purpose of an operations report is to provide the landfill operator with a resource document that has guidance and information to enable the operator to better operate the site. No manual or textbook can be an effective substitute for a qualified and experienced operator. The lessons learned from time spent on the working face of a landfill do not always easily reduce to words. However, a manual such as this can be a resource for an operator to rely upon for information and guidance. The manual is divided into several sections. The subjects covered are: Operating Methods and Procedures Monitoring and Inspection Procedures Contingency Planning Staffing Safety A more detailed breakdown of subjects is in the table of contents. 1.2 OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY The landfill operator has responsibilities in several areas. The term “operator” as described here may actually encompass the duties of several people. This section is intended to convey the overall responsibilities of the landfill operator function, not a specific job description. One operator responsibility is financial; fee collection, accounting, budgeting, cost effective purchases and use of resources. Another responsibility is personnel management; hiring, training, safety, promotion, scheduling. In addition, the landfill operator has responsibilities for operations (equipment, maintenance, security, filling, environmental controls) and planning (new working areas, emergencies, inclement weather, equipment replacement, site improvements). Whether these responsibilities are handled by one person or shared by several people, skillful execution of these duties can make the landfill successful. The landfill operator should never lose sight of the purpose of a landfill. A landfill is an engineered method of disposing of solid waste in an environmentally sound manner. The construction of a landfill continues every day after the landfill opens and ends when the final closeout is complete. Even then, the care of a landfill will be a continuing process for many years after closure. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-2 2.0 OPERATIONS METHODS AND PROCEDURES 2.1 OVERVIEW This section of the operations manual is intended to give the operator of the landfill some techniques and procedures to help operations run smoothly and achieve the goal of environmentally sound waste disposal. The operator has an important role to play in the development of the landfill. The day to day operation will determine the quality of the landfill, perhaps more than the initial construction. The operator must understand the purpose of each of the elements in the construction of the finished landfill. Otherwise, seemingly unimportant elements of the landfill may be neglected even though they might be crucial to its success. The operator should be familiar with and refer to the rules and regulations of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Waste Management (the Division) and the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. In addition, the operator must understand such things as financial controls, public relations, employee relations and planning for emergencies. By mastering the knowledge and skills necessary to become successful, the landfill operator is a professional in the waste disposal industry rather than “the guy who runs the dump”. 2.2 OPERATION DRAWINGS The Engineering Plan, Section II of this permit amendment application, contains the Permit Amendment Drawings for this landfill. As described in this section, the Permit Amendment Drawings show the landfill and facility features that are required to be shown by Rule .0542(b)(1). 2.2.1 Existing Conditions Sheet 2 of the attached plans shows the existing conditions at the site, including existing access roads, topography, structures, permitted waste limits, facility boundary, buffer zones, boring locations, property lines, and groundwater monitoring wells. Topography is based on two aerial surveys completed by Suttles Engineering on March 19, 2010 and by Summit Design and Engineering Services on March 3, 2017. As reflected on the topography, Phase 1 filling has reached grades as high as 564 feet in elevation. The site outside of the Phase 1 footprint, where landfilling has occurred, is characterized by gently sloping hillsides ranging in elevation from 510 to 560 feet above mean sea-level (MSL). 2.2.2 Phase 1 Base Grades Sheet 3, ‘Phase 1 Base Grades’, shows the base grades of the landfill as if Phase 1 were excavated to the subgrade. Base grades are a minimum of four feet above the Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-3 seasonal high groundwater level as shown on the drawing. The waste will be placed directly above these base grades. This drawing reflects site conditions at the time of construction of Phase 1, including proposed grading, access roads, stormwater controls and erosion and sediment controls. This drawing also shows the areas of the facility that will be set aside for specific operational uses during Phase 1 including Phase 1 limits of waste, areas for special waste handling within the landfill unit, waste storage, and recycling operations. 2.2.3 Phase 1 Intermediate Grades/ Phases 2 & 3 Base Grades/Intermediate Grades Sheet 4, ‘Phases 2 & 3 Base Grades/Intermediate Grades’, shows the maximum grades that will occur during Phase 1 filling, as well as the cell development of Phases 2 and 3. The waste will be placed directly above these base grades. The Phase 1 grades shown on this drawing represent the grades of the top of the waste, not the final grades. Also shown are access road, stormwater controls and erosion and sediment controls as well as the areas of the facility that will be set aside for specific operational uses during Phases 2 and 3 including Phases 1 through 3 limits of waste, areas for special waste handling within the landfill unit, waste storage, and recycling operations. 2.2.4 Phases 2 and 3 Intermediate Grades Sheet 5, ‘Phases 2 & 3 Intermediate Grades’, shows the maximum grades that will occur during filling of Phases 2 and 3. The grades shown on this drawing represent the grades of the top of the waste, not the final grades. Also shown are access roads, erosion and sediment control measures, and stormwater controls. 2.2.5 Proposed Final Grades Sheet 6, ‘Proposed Final Grades’, shows the final grades, after installation of the landfill cap, of Phases 1 and 2 including access roads, stormwater controls and erosion and sediment controls. Final contours have been designed with post-settlement surface slopes of at least five percent on top of the phase, and a maximum of 3.5 horizontal to 1 vertical (3.5H:1V) on the side slopes. Details of the proposed closure cap are provided on Sheet 8. 2.2.6 Cross Sections Sheet 7 of the attached plans show cross sections of the landfill. The cross sections are located on the state’s grid system which is shown on the plans. The coordinates of the cross sections and grid lines are North 807,340 and East 1,974,169. The cross sections show existing grade as well as the proposed final grade. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-4 2.2.7 Details Sheet 8 provides construction details for the cap and for base grade preparation, a typical section for construction of the landfill perimeter, and details for the landfill gas vents and probes. Erosion and sediment control details for proposed features are also shown. 2.3 HOURS OF OPERATION The Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill is open from 7:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 7:30 a.m. until noon on Saturday. The facility is closed on the following major holidays: New Years, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. If the facility is closed during other holidays, third party haulers will be notified in advance. 2.4 SITE ACCESS Access to the landfill is controlled by a locked gate at the entrance to the site along Eubanks Road. The area is surrounded by heavily wooded areas or natural barriers limiting access. A gate attendant is present during operating hours to screen incoming waste. The attendant screens out unauthorized vehicles and vehicles with unauthorized cargo. Those not permitted into the landfill will be turned away at that point. In addition, the vehicles that have special waste, such as yard waste, tires and white goods, are directed to special unloading areas. A sign containing the information required in Rule .0542(j)(5,6) (i.e., acceptable wastes, hours, permit number, etc.) is posted at the facility entrance. Waste collection vehicles are weighed in (and out if tare weights are not available for that vehicle) at the scale house. Signs are posted at or near the landfill entrance that provides information on the hours that the landfill is open for public use, the permit number, information regarding wastes accepted, directions to separate disposal areas for wastes requiring special handling, information regarding waste screening, and other pertinent information. Traffic will move from the scales to the landfill via an all-weather haul road. The layout of haul roads may change as needed during the course of landfill development so there is convenient access to active disposal areas. Access roads to the landfill and to monitoring locations will be maintained to remain passable during most weather conditions. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-5 2.5 WASTE ACCEPTANCE AND SPECIAL WASTE HANDLING 2.5.1 Waste Acceptance This facility may accept solid waste in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B, except as prohibited by the North Carolina General Statutes, Article 9 of Chapter 130A and Rules adopted by the Commission for Health Services. Construction/demolition waste, land clearing debris, asphalt, and inert debris are accepted for disposal at the C&D landfill. Construction and demolition debris is defined in NC General Statutes as waste or debris resulting solely from construction, remodeling, repair, or the demolition of pavement, buildings, or other structures. Inert debris will include waste brick, block and uncontaminated soils. In accordance with Division policy, other waste types may be proposed for disposal that are similar to waste typically found in land clearing-inert debris and construction/demolition waste streams. Examples might be roofing shingle waste from the shingle manufacturer, or waste building materials from a mobile home/modular home manufacturer. If other wastes are proposed for disposal at this facility, requests for approval will be submitted in accordance with Division requirements. On or before August 1 of each year, Orange County will report to the Division of Waste Management the amount of waste received in tons at this facility and disposed in the waste disposal areas. The reporting period shall be for the previous year beginning July 1 and ending on June 30. Data will be transmitted on forms prescribed by the Division. The report will include the following: • The amount of waste received and landfilled in tons, compiled on a monthly basis by specific waste type if diverted to a specific unit within the permitted facility; and • The completed report shall be forwarded to the Regional Waste Management Specialist for the facility. In addition, if requested by the Division, a volume survey will be completed once per year. No waste from outside Orange County will be accepted at this facility. 2.5.2 Material Recovery Incoming C&D waste loads are not typically sorted for recyclables. Mobile homes as defined in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.112 and delivered from a property within the Orange County C&D landfill approved service area will be accepted for disposal and possible Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-6 deconstruction. Scrap metal from the frames of mobile homes and trailers are recovered and transported off site for recovery. Prior to delivery to the working face of the landfill, the scale house attendant will inform and verify with the customer that the mobile home has had any friable asbestos removed and disposed of properly and that Category I and II non-friable asbestos has been removed and treated properly as discussed below in Section 2.5.3. Landfill employees will not remove materials from the structure. Mobile homes will only be inspected to see that all white good materials have been removed from the homes and that there is no MSW in the home prior to being crushed by landfill equipment. Mobile homes will not be accepted if any prohibited waste is within the trailer. Properly bagged, by the customer, Category I and II non-friable asbestos will be disposed of in accordance with Rule 15 NCAC 13B .0542(c)(2) and the operations plan. Once at the working face, landfill employees will direct the customer to a flat, secure area near the current working face. The date of receipt of the mobile home must be posted on the home or it’s frame. Generally, within one week, but in no instance longer than 45 days, the mobile home will be pushed over, and the bottom frame removed using onsite equipment. The frame will be taken to the scrap metal area for delivery to a scrap metal processing yard, and the remaining mobile home will be pushed into the working face and compacted and buried within the current cell. White goods, as defined in N.C.G.S. 130A-290(a)(44), which are within mobile homes to be deconstructed, must be properly removed to the White Goods and Scrap Metal Area prior to deconstruction activities. White goods must be managed in accordance with all federal, state, and local applicable statutes and rules and the Permit Conditions in Permit No. 6801- MSWLF-1993 (DIN 19609). Records shall be kept at the facility. Some recyclable material will be source separated prior to arriving at the facility. The recycling details are contained in operating permit 68-01. Examples of recyclable materials that may be pulled from the waste stream include, but are not limited to: lumber, wood waste, pallets, drywall, cardboard, plastics, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, concrete, bricks, soils, asphalt, and small amounts of other non-hazardous materials that are generated at construction and demolition projects. The type of recyclable material that will be sorted from the waste stream at any given time is market dependent. 2.5.3 Prohibited Waste In accordance with Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0505(11)(b), no hazardous or liquid waste may be accepted for disposal. The C&D landfill will also not accept the following Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-7 items, as defined in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.10(f) and Rule 15A NCAC .0542(e) except when defined as noted: • municipal solid waste (MSW), including household, commercial and industrial waste, except where the Division finds that waste meets the requirements of Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0503(2)(d)(ii); • Garbage (putrescible waste) • hazardous waste, including hazardous waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators; • polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastes as defined in 40 CFR 761; • barrels and drums (except fiber drums containing asbestos), unless they are empty and sufficiently perforated; • friable asbestos; • yard trash defined as solid waste consisting solely of vegetative matter resulting from landscaping maintenance; • if received separate from the waste stream: lead pipes, bulbs, lighting ballast or fixtures, thermostats and light switches, transformers, capacitors, and CCA or creosote treated woods; • Liquid wastes; • Medical waste; • Radioactive waste; • Septage and sludge waste, unless for the sole utilization as a soil conditioner and in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0542(d); • Special wastes; • White goods; • other wastes specifically banned from landfill disposal by rule or statute, such as acid batteries, tires, oil, and aluminum cans; • Previously crushed, unidentifiable C&D waste that is not from a facility that is permitted to provide such materials • Used oil • Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) • Aluminum cans • Whole scrap tires, as provided in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.58(b) • Lead-acid batteries, as provided in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.70 • Motor vehicle oil filters • Recyclable rigid plastic containers • Wooden pallets, except that wooden pallets may be disposed of in a landfill that is permitted to only accept construction and demolition debris • Oyster shells • Discarded computer equipment, as defined in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.131 • Discarded televisions, as defined in N.C.G.S. 130A-309.131 Orange County will notify the NC Division of Waste Management within 24 hours of attempted disposal of hazardous waste or other waste that the landfill is not permitted to Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-8 receive. Municipal solid waste (MSW) that is received will be collected and delivered to the City of Durham Transfer Station (Permit No. 3212-TRANSFER-2014). Asbestos waste must be managed in accordance with 40 CFR 61. The facility will not accept friable asbestos. The facility may accept Category I or Category II nonfriable asbestos-containing material (ACM) as defined in 40 CFR 61. The material must be bagged when delivered. The landfill staff will place the bagged material in an excavated hole away from the active working face and the placement location must be recorded. The bagged material will then be covered with a minimum of 6 inches of compacted soil. The facility supervisor will keep a record of any disposal of ACM, including date, time, description of ACM, material quantity and location of disposal Category I and Category II nonfriable ACM that meets the definition of regulated asbestos containing material (RACM) in 40 CFR 61 cannot be accepted as follows: 1) Category I nonfriable ACM that has become friable cannot be accepted; 2) Category I nonfriable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading cannot be accepted; and 3) Category II nonfriable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations cannot be accepted. Customers with such materials will be advised to contact other facilities, which may accept regulated ACM. The landfill will also not accept any other wastes that may pose a threat to the environment or public health are prohibited from disposal at this site. Liquid wastes are wastes that contain "free liquid" as determined by the Paint Filter Test, Method 9095, U.S. E.P.A., Publication SW-846. The Paint Filter Test is included as Attachment IV-A. Municipal solid waste will be directed an offsite permitted MSW disposal facility. These materials will not be disposed of in the C&D landfill. Specific wastes may be accepted at the landfill if it is determined to be suitable by the Division. The landfill operator will assume the responsibility to inspect incoming wastes and refuse questionable wastes until the waste involved is determined to be acceptable under the Division of Waste Management's ‘Procedure and Criteria for Waste Determination’ which, under 15A NCAC 13B .0103(d), will be used to determine whether a waste is: (1) hazardous as defined by 15A NCAC 13A, and (2) suitable for disposal at a solid waste management facility. 2.5.4 Random Waste Screening Program Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-9 2.5.4.1 Authority To prevent the acceptance of prohibited wastes, the following random waste screening program is proposed in accordance with the North Carolina's Solid Waste Management Regulations, Rule .0544(e). The program is primarily used to detect hazardous waste that is mixed with MSW. However, the same methodology can be used to keep hazardous wastes and prohibited MSW from being disposed at the C&D landfill. Key elements of this rule are as follows: • No hazardous or liquid wastes as defined in 15A NCAC 13A, municipal solid waste, or materials offering an undue hazard to landfill personnel or landfill operations shall be accepted at the C&D landfill except as specifically authorized by the facility permit or by the Division. The owner or operator will implement an inspection program to detect and prevent disposal of non-permitted wastes, hazardous and liquid wastes, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). Inspection forms for this program are located in Attachment IV-D. The program shall include, at a minimum: • Random inspections of incoming loads, unless the owner or operator takes other steps to prohibit incoming loads containing municipal solid waste, regulated hazardous or liquid wastes, or PCB wastes; • Records of any inspections; • Training of facility personnel to recognize municipal solid waste, regulated hazardous or liquid wastes, or PCB wastes; and other non-acceptable wastes; • Development of a contingency/action plan to properly manage non-permitted or hazardous and/or liquid wastes that are identified. 2.5.4.2 Random Selection Random selection of vehicles to be inspected will be conducted on a regular basis, depending on personnel available. At least one vehicle per week, but not less than one percent by weight of the waste stream (based on the previous week’s total) will be randomly selected at the working face by the personnel conducting the inspection. A random truck number and time will be selected (i.e., the third load after 10:00 a.m.) on the day of inspections. 2.5.4.3 Record Keeping Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-10 The Waste Screening Report Form (included in Attachment IV-C) will be completed at each inspection. Reports and resulting correspondence will be maintained at the landfill office for the life of the landfill and during the post-closure period. 2.5.4.4 Training Inspections will be supervised by the operator or by support personnel trained to identify and manage C&D waste, municipal solid waste, and hazardous and liquid waste. 2.5.4.5 Location Inspections will be conducted at or near the working face of the landfill. 2.5.4.6 Contingency/Action Plan The following action plan details the procedures to follow for conducting random waste inspections. 1) Dump single load in prepared area and hold truck and driver until inspection is completed. 2) Spread waste with a loader, as appropriate. Loads that include large closed containers will be handled carefully to avoid possible rupturing of the containers. Have appropriate safety equipment present. Minimum safety equipment will include: • Rubber gloves; • Rubber boots; • Safety glasses; and • Long handled hoe. 3) Examine waste for excluded waste and/or safety hazards: • Municipal solid waste (MSW); • Containers labeled hazardous; • Excessive or unusual moisture; • Biomedical (red bag) waste; • Powders, dusts, smoke, vapors, or chemical odors; • Sludges, pastes, slurries, or bright colors (such as dyes); and • Unauthorized out-of-County waste. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-11 4) Take Action: One or more as appropriate: a) Incorporate acceptable waste into working face; b) Remove MSW to a permitted Subtitle D MSW landfill or transfer facility for disposal; c) Hold suspect waste for identification by on-site personnel and confirmation by others, if necessary, such as: • contract laboratory; • state authority; and/or • federal regulator. d) Interview driver and hauler to identify the waste source; e) Remove hazardous or liquid waste (In Priority Order): • Hold rejected hazardous or liquid waste for generator; • Arrange for hazardous or liquid waste collection by licensed collector. f) Use the USEPA Hazardous Waste Inspection Decision Tree. (See Attachment IV-C) g) Contact emergency responders as necessary 5) Document Actions: a) Record inspection; b) Retain Reports; c) Report hazardous liquid, or PCB wastes to Division of Waste Management - DENR. 2.6 CALCULATED CAPACITY The total landfill capacity, the individual phase capacities, and the year each phase is completed are summarized in the following table. Table IV-1 Landfill Capacity Phase Capacity (cubic yards) Net Remaining Airspace (cubic yards) Area (Acres) Remaining Site Life (years) Projected Date Filled Phase 1 (active) 282,000 74,800 7.7 9.4 2026 Phases 2 & 3 257,000 257,000 4.9 32.3 2057 Phases 4 & 5 189,000 189,000 N/A 23.7 2082 Final Cover 62,000 62,000 12.6 Total 790,000 582,000 12.6 65.4 Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-12 (Gross Capacity) Notes: 1. Remaining Site life begins with a start date of March 3, 2017, the date of the latest aerial mapping. 2. Net Remaining Airspace and projected fill date assumes the utilization rate calculated between March 2011 and March 2015. 3. Phase capacity does not include final cover. Gross capacity includes final cover. The basis for the calculations in the above table is described in the Engineering Plan. The total facility development will consist of five phases. Phase 2 will be developed adjacent to Phase 1. Phase 3 will “over-fill” Phase 2, and Phases 4 and 5 will “over-fill” Phases 1, 2, and 3 as shown on the cross-sections on Sheet 7. 2.7 EQUIPMENT Orange County will operate a compactor and a dozer at the C&D landfill. Additional equipment such as, but not limited to, excavators, loaders, and dump trucks, may be used to conduct the day-to-day operations of the facility. Equipment can be shared as needed from the County’s other Solid Waste facility operations. This equipment is adequate for operations. Equipment from one area can supplement equipment in other waste management areas. In the event of an extended breakdown of equipment, the County has funds set aside for temporary rental of replacement equipment. Should the compactor break down, the dozer can be used in its place for short periods of time. If the compactor is down for an extended period of time, there are funds set aside for the rental of a replacement. 2.8 ACCESS ROADS A good road system is a vital part of the smooth operation of a landfill. The goal is to get the vehicles to the working face as quickly and safely as possible. The roads will be wide enough to handle two way traffic and sturdy enough to carry heavy trucks in all weather. An additional 10-foot equipment lane will be constructed where practical and feasible. As with other components of a landfill, proper planning, advanced construction, and maintenance are imperative to a good operation. Permanent roads will be located and constructed to last as long as possible, yet minimize the need for temporary roads. At a minimum, the ramps and/or on-site operation roads will be 20 feet wide. The roadway surface will have at least six inches of stone over an 18 inch subgrade of compacted soil. The subgrade will be placed and compacted with the moisture content close to optimum. The stone will be placed before the next rainfall. If the subgrade is subjected to rain before placement of the stone, then the subgrade will be reworked and recompacted. The stone will be compacted after placement. The stone base will be six to nine inches thick. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-13 Access roads in the landfill will maintain a minimum grade of 2 percent and will not exceed 8 percent. Keeping at least 2 percent will provide the necessary slope for positive drainage in side ditches. Eight percent is about the maximum grade that refuse trucks should be required to climb. The roads will be crowned to promote drainage. Both the subgrade and the base will be sloped at a rate of 1/4" per foot (i.e. 2%) from the crown to the edge of the road. Drainage ditches will be at least one foot deep. Side slopes and drainage ditches for permanent roads will be seeded as soon as possible. Periodic maintenance on the roads includes removal of mud deposited on the surface, regrading the surface to restore the crown, and cleaning of ditches to promote drainage. Cleats on landfill compactors and construction tracks on dozers can quickly destroy the best of roads. Travel on the roads by this equipment will be kept to a minimum and will be avoided during wet weather. 2.9 VEHICLE CONTROL AND UNLOADING 2.9.1 Vehicle Control Customers entering the landfill will be controlled by the operations staff using the following procedures: a. Screen and weigh incoming traffic at the Attendants Station. Incoming vehicles will stop at the Attendant's Building. The Attendant can screen out unauthorized vehicles and vehicles with unauthorized cargo. Those not permitted into the landfill will be turned away at that point. In addition, the vehicles that have special waste, such as recyclables or asbestos-containing materials, will be directed to special unloading areas. Vehicles containing municipal solid waste will be re-directed to to a permitted Subtitle D MSW landfill or waste transfer facility for proper disposal. b. During operating hours, route traffic from the entrance gate and scalehouse to the road leading to the disposal area. An adequate number of directional signs should be posted to control the flow of traffic. Signs should be large enough and brightly marked to attract the drivers’ attention. Signs will be kept clean so they can be read. Commercially manufactured reflectorized signs are recommended because they are quite durable and will last many years. Spares should be maintained to replace signs that may be damaged. c. The working face stage includes the inspection of the loads as they are dumped. Should the inspector notice unapproved special wastes he should promptly notify the front gate. The vehicle that dumped the waste should not be allowed to leave. The waste, if it cannot be readily identified, should be treated as dangerous and it should not be moved until it is properly Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-14 identified. The policies listed in Attachment IV-C, Waste Screening Plan, should be followed to identify the waste. d. The Waste Inspector can act as a spotter when needed. Spotters will be used at the landfill working face during peak periods to direct traffic to the proper dumping area. Keeping the working face small is a technique that will be discussed in a later section of this manual. However, the spotter is important in keeping the working face small. He/she will keep traffic moving by directing vehicles to the unloading area he wants them to use. This can help keep the face from spreading out. In addition, the spotter can act as a waste inspector at the working face. Also, the spotter will watch for "pickers" and scavengers and direct them away from the landfill. By keeping the unloading operation moving the spotter can set the pace for the entire operation. 2.9.2 Unloading When unloading waste at the working face of the landfill there are a few simple "rules of thumb" to remember: a. Unload as close to the working face as possible while still leaving room for the compactor/tractor to operate. During periods of heavy traffic, unloading may be done adjacent to the working face by slow vehicles and at the working face by fast moving vehicles such as compactor trucks that must unload and return to the route quickly. When the flow of traffic eases up the waste dumped by the slower vehicles can be pushed by a loader, dozer or the compactor to the working face. b. Keep pickup trucks and other small vehicles separated from the larger compactor trucks. A compactor truck will spread its load for up to 5 or 6 feet on each side of the truck when it unloads. c. If truck drivers are going to do truck cleanup or secure covers or doors, have them pull away from the working face so as to avoid blocking a space needed by another truck. d. The area designated for unloading should be prepared and maintained. The area should be dragged with a loader or compactor blade periodically to remove debris and reduce tire punctures. By keeping the unloading area clean the drivers can maneuver more confidently and faster. During wet weather special attention should be given to maintaining the unloading area and providing a gravel turn around area. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-15 e. Provisions will be made to limit tracking of mud onto public roads by vehicles leaving the site. 2.10 WASTE HANDLING OPERATIONS 2.10.1 Fill Progression The method of filling will be in accordance with the filling sequence shown on Sheets 4 through 6 of the Permit Renewal Drawings. Cross-sections through the operational areas are shown on Sheet 7. Operations within Phase 1 began at the northwest corner of the disposal area, and are progressing south and east. 2.10.2 Working Face In general, the fill operations should start at the high end of the working area. A working face should be established. For a landfill of this size and type, the working face should be approximately 50 to 75 feet wide with lifts no more than 8 to 10 feet high. Assuming a waste stream of 26 tons per day, a working face of 400 square feet, a lift height of 8 feet, and a compaction rate of 1,200 pounds per cubic yard, the length of a daily cell is approximately 38 feet. The width of the daily fill will be approximately 40 to 50 feet to provide space for several trucks to dump at the same time. Filling will begin on the higher elevations of the phase and proceed towards the lower elevations. This filling pattern will maintain stormwater runoff away from the active fill area. Each subsequent lift will generally follow the same filling pattern. The working face will be kept as small as possible, making the landfill operation easier to maintain and minimizing the chance of blowing litter and contact with stormwater. A small working face means that trucks must move and unload quickly. During peak periods it will be necessary to unload adjacent to the working face and push the trash to it after the traffic has lessened. The slope on the working face should be from 4:1 to 5:1 for a compactor. The compactor will obtain greatest compaction on a flat surface due to more efficient use of the weight of the machine. If a crawler tractor is used as a substitute for trash placement the slope should be increased to the 3:1 to 4:1 range. Compaction using a tracked machine is obtained from the shredding and grinding of the waste by the tracks as the tractor works the slope. At the end of the day the slope should be shortened to minimize the amount of weekly cover. Weather will play a large role to determine if steeper slopes are obtainable. Wet wastes are difficult for some equipment to climb. In such cases, the working slope should be flattened until operations can proceed. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-16 2.10.3 Spreading and Compacting When pushing the trash, the compactor operator should not attempt to push such a large amount that the machine bogs down. Full truck loads should be broken down into three loads pushed by the compactor. The trash should be spread into layers not more than two feet thick. The compactor will make a minimum of four or five passes on each layer to achieve proper compaction. Large bulky items should be crushed with the compactor blade before being run over and worked into the base of the fill. During peak periods the operator and spotter must work together to keep the operation running smoothly. The spotter will need to provide the time and space for the compactor to get behind the waste that has been unloaded and push it out of the way so the next vehicle can unload. Areas of the various cells that have received waste, and that will be inactive for extended periods of time will be covered with an intermediate soil layer as described in Section 2.11.2 of this plan. Runoff from these areas will be controlled through stormwater channels that will convey the flow to the on-site sediment basin. 2.10.4 Waste Limits Limits of waste for Phase 1 are staked in the field. Phases 2 & 3 limits will be similarly marked. The waste limit markers will be maintained throughout the operating life of the facility. 2.10.5 Compliance Survey The Division of Waste Management may periodically request a topographical compliance survey of portions or the entirety of the landfill in order to ensure that filling methods are within the guidelines of this permit. The compliance survey must be performed by a licensed surveyor. Within 60 days of written request by the Division, Orange County must perform the compliance survey. Within 90 days, Orange County must submit the results of the compliance survey. 2.11 COVER OPERATIONS Covering the waste is the final phase of the waste handling operations. There are three kinds of cover: weekly, intermediate and final. 2.11.1 Weekly Cover Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-17 Weekly cover is a minimum of six inch layer of compacted soil applied over the waste disposal area in each of the following cases: • the waste disposal area exceeds one half acre, or; • at the end of each week, or; • In order to control disease vectors, fires, odors, blowing litter, and scavenging For instances when soil is used as weekly cover, stockpile areas will be planned in advance to limit the number of times the material must be moved. It is desirable to have at least two weeks of cover material available in the stockpiles. The stockpiles should be located above the current fill if possible for efficient use of equipment. The cover material stockpile should be used before the fill advances too far. This avoids leaving small piles scattered over the site. Before depleting the stockpile, the location for the next pile should be determined and stockpiling should begin for another two weeks’ worth of daily cover material. After each stockpile is used the area will be graded to drain. During periods of wet weather, cover may have to be moved by loader and trucks from the main site stockpile. 2.11.2 Intermediate Cover Intermediate cover is applied to the fill surface that will not be used for more than 3 months. Normally this is the top surface of the trash in place in the area being worked. This is based on the assumption that a 6-inch lift of cover soil will be placed on the working face once per week. Intermediate cover consists of a minimum of one foot of soil (may include daily cover). Since the intermediate cover will usually be the travel surface for later lifts, it should be a material that can support vehicles in all sorts of weather. Should the area receiving intermediate cover not be an all-weather travel surface, a temporary vegetative surface or a ground cover must be established. Intermediate cover may be placed with the weekly cover or later depending on the operating circumstances. Intermediate cover will be placed on cracked, eroded and uneven areas on a weekly basis. 2.11.3 Final Cover Final cover is placed over the finished fill after fill operations are completed. The final cover system will be placed above the intermediate/weekly cover and consists of the following components: • a geocomposite gas collection medium; • a soil infiltration barrier layer that is at least 18 inches of soil; • a minimum of 12 inches of soil above the infiltration barrier layer as a protective layer and to support vegetative cover; and • a minimum of six inches of vegetative/erosion control soil material to support a vegetative growth on the cover. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-18 Placement of final cover should be monitored for compaction and to confirm the correct materials are used and placed to the correct depths. Placement of final cover will be in accordance with the Specifications included as Attachment II-B to the Engineering Plan and with the Construction Quality Assurance plan included as Section III to the permit amendment application. 2.12 SURFACE WATER 2.12.1 Surface Water Control One of the most important tasks for the landfill operator is to control surface water. Surface water can cause erosion and uncover waste. It can make the working face impassable. It can get into the landfill and create leachate. Several basic principles should be followed in managing surface water. Because the nature and shape of the landfill is changing daily it is not possible to plan the control of surface water over all of the landfill during the initial design. That must be done on a day by day basis by the landfill operator. The first principle is to plan far ahead. It is far easier to construct stormwater diversion ditches during the dry summer and fall than to wait until the middle of the winter to try and control water that is already flowing. The operator should be planning what the operation should look like at least six months in advance. Planning for surface water control means the sequence of fill must also be planned. The second principle is to divert as much water as possible away from the working face and the landfill itself. The use of diversion ditches and favorable slopes are the most common techniques. Permanent diversion ditches will be installed prior to commencement of fill operations to keep water off of the site. Temporary diversion dikes can be constructed on the areas just filled to keep water off of the working face. These temporary diversion dikes will be used for short periods of time and should be removed when no longer needed. Diversion ditches and dikes should be accompanied by proper erosion and siltation control. Fill operation should begin at the higher elevations of the fill area and work downhill. Therefore water will not pond against the working face. This will also keep the access to the working face more passable. The completed fill areas should be brought up to established intermediate or final grades and a slope of at least 5% should be maintained. In addition to diverting water away from the working face, it should also be kept off access roads and other areas subject to traffic. A third principle to keep in mind is to plan for downstream handling of the water. Diversion ditches or dikes should be carried to a proper outfall such as a permanent drainage ditch or a natural drainage way. The outfalls of the diversion ditches must be built so as to avoid erosion. The operator should look further downstream than the outfall. Look for Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-19 obstructions that may cause water to back up during high flows and for areas that may need special protection due to higher flows coming from the landfill. If the operator causes an increased flow of water that causes damage the landfill may be held responsible. Flow from the landfill should be directed to sedimentation control features. The fourth principle, and often the most neglected, is maintenance of the drainage facilities. Structures that handle water are subject to wear. Landfill diversion ditches and dikes are no different. The structures will be inspected at least monthly and after each rain of significance. As part of the operators planning process the drainage structures will be scheduled for routine overhaul at least once during the summer when work is easier. The benefit from periodic inspections and repair comes when the structures work as planned and stop gap measures don't have to be installed in the rain and the working face is passable. Solid waste will not be deposited in, nor will be allowed to enter, surface waters or ground waters. The drainage structures indicated on the drawings have been designed to control run-off and run-on from a 24-hour, 25-year storm event. 2.13 GROUNDWATER MONITORING The Groundwater Monitoring Plan is included as Attachment IV-E to this Operations Report. The plan represents the controlling document for obtaining and analyzing representative groundwater samples from the uppermost aquifer underlying the existing facility. 2.14 CLEANUP ACTIVITIES One of the characteristics of a well-run landfill is that litter, debris and mud are cleaned up on a regular basis. The most successful techniques are a combination of a continuing program and periodic major clean up campaigns. Windblown litter is not anticipated to be a significant problem at the C&D landfill due to the heavy, bulky nature of this waste type. Prompt compaction of the waste at the working face will be conducted to minimize litter. Temporary fences may be constructed if needed to contain windblown material during operations. Also, landfill personnel will pick up windblown litter as needed along the access road and in the vicinity of the disposal area at the conclusion of each operation day according to Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0542(g)(3). Site cleanup activities should be scheduled in advance. Otherwise the tendency is to put the activity off until another day. Major clean up campaigns will be held in the early spring after the usual heavy wind period in March. A second will be needed in early summer after the usual heavy Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-20 use spring period. Another will be needed in the early fall prior to the wet season when everyone will be occupied with water control. A fourth will be needed after the Christmas holiday season, another high use period. These are the minimum number of major cleanup campaigns required. More may be needed if the daily cleanup is inadequate. 2.15 VECTOR AND ODOR CONTROL Vectors are animals that transmit disease. One of the prime functions of a landfill is to control this potential health threat. In landfills, the most common vectors are flies, rats, and birds. Fly larvae enter along with the waste. Rats and birds are attracted to open refuse. Odors are the result of the waste as it is unloaded, spread, and compacted, and gases generated during the decomposition of wastes. The best control method for vectors and odors is the compaction and covering of wastes with a soil layer. Compacted cover of at least 6 inches of soil or alternative synthetic cover will reduce flies from emerging, provide less of an invitation to rats and birds, and slows the release of odors. Many of these vectors and odors are more common with MSW landfills and not as prevalent at C&D landfills. Cover soils are applied weekly within the C&D landfill. Surface cracks in the soil cover will be repaired as soon as possible, and intermediate cover will be applied to areas that will not be additionally filled upon for 3 months. Intermediate cover should be inspected and repaired on a weekly basis. 2.16 DUST CONTROL Excessive dust can be a nuisance and a hazard. Dust can irritate eyes and lungs. Water can be used but only to the extent that no saturation or ponding occurs. Maintaining areas for use in wet weather and removing mud deposited on roads will also minimize dust generated. The access road leading to the C&D landfill will be graveled for additional dust control. 2.17 EROSION CONTROL Erosion control on the landfill will comply with the permit drawings and the approved sedimentation and erosion control plan. The E&S Plan with attachments (supporting documentation) for the Phase 1 development was submitted separately to North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (Department of Environmental Quality), Land Quality Division and approved on April 10, 2003. Erosion control will consist of three activities. Each will be addressed separately but should be considered an integral part of the erosion control process. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-21 2.17.1 Maintenance Maintenance of existing slopes and ditches involves inspecting and repairing areas where water has been directed and are subject to erosion. The vegetation on these slopes will be mowed at least once per year. These slopes will be maintained by reseeding, the application of fertilizers, and other means necessary to promote a healthy stand of vegetation. Recommended seeding specifications are located in Attachment II-B. All vegetative and structural erosion and sediment control devices will be maintained according to the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual as well as the Orange County Erosion Control Manual. Repair may consist of refilling washouts or ditches, lining with stone or riprap, or cutting new ditches when the old ones are full. 2.17.2 Sediment Barriers Temporary sediment barriers will be used at the base of slopes when the fill operation begins and continued until vegetative cover is established. Silt fences, and/or brush barriers can be used. Either type will have to be replaced periodically. Brush barriers typically maintain their effectiveness throughout the construction period. Silt fences should be constructed using a non-woven geotextile fabric that is resistant to ultraviolet light and is specifically manufactured to be used in siltation control fences. The posts will be a minimum of four square inches in cross sectional area and should be spaced no further than 10 feet apart. The fabric should extend into a trench four inches wide by four inches deep along the upslope side of the fence. The trench should be backfilled and compacted over the fabric. Brush barriers will be brush, stone, root mat, and other spoil material. The barrier will be mounded in a row with a minimum of five feet in width and three feet in height. Temporary sediment barriers will be inspected after each significant rainfall. 2.17.3 Vegetative Ground Cover After each portion of the landfill is brought up to grade or to a grade that will be unchanged for three months the surface must be seeded to obtain a good stand of grass to limit erosion and promote evapotranspiration. The vegetative cover, sufficient to restrain erosion, should be established within 30 working days of completion of the area. The area to be seeded should be tested for nutrients and pH, and fertilized as needed. These must be worked into the top one inch of the surface. Apply seed at the following rate: 100 lb/acre Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue 30 lb/acre Sericea Lespedeza 10 lb/acre Kobe Lespedeza 25 lb/acre Pensacola Bahiagrass Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-22 Hydroseeding may be used in lieu of hand seeding or mechanical seeding. Seeded areas must be mulched to protect the seed until a stand of grass is established. The County reserves the right to revise the seeding mixture based on seasonal variations. 2.18 TIRES Tires are not accepted at this disposal facility. 2.19 SCAVENGING/SALVAGING The unauthorized removal of waste, or scavenging, is prohibited at the landfill. Only landfill personnel may remove recyclable salvageable materials and process them through the recycling facilities. Waste removal by landfill personnel is allowed as specified in the recycling plan that is part of operating permit 68-01. 2.20 RECORD KEEPING The landfill should maintain records of its activities. A landfill is going to last, for all practical purposes, ’forever’. Years after the site closes it may be necessary to learn about its operations. Another reason for keeping records is to have a source of information that helps in planning. Trends in waste volumes, landfill costs, equipment and personnel needs and environmental impact are usually projected from past records. The following records will be maintained in the Operating Record at the landfill office, such that the Division may readily be able to review facility records on request: • The landfill's Permit to Construct, Permit to Operate and pertinent correspondence and other permits • Operation Plan • Engineering Plan • Contingency Plan • Inspection records • Waste determination records • Waste screening procedure (Attachment IV-C of this plan) for detecting and preventing disposal of MSW, hazardous waste, liquid waste, PCB waste, and banned items • Random waste inspection records • Date, time & location of landfilled asbestos-containing material • Additional records required by 40 CFR 61 (asbestos rules) • Amounts by weight of construction/demolition debris received at the facility, including the source of generation Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-23 • Training outline for waste screening training of landfill personnel • Training procedures • Certifications of training • Groundwater Monitoring Plan and any demonstration, certification, finding, monitoring, testing, corrective action or analytical data required by the approved groundwater monitoring program at the site, as required by Rules .0544 and .0545 • Landfill Gas monitoring results and remediation plans, if applicable • Well development and abandonment logs, including licensed professional engineer or geologist certification • Cost estimates and financial assurance documentation required by Rule .0546 • Notation of date and time of placement of cover material • Audit records • Compliance records • Notices of intent of cell construction or closure • Engineer Certification of cell construction or closure • Record of notation on the property deed that the property was used as a solid waste disposal area • Engineer certification of completion of post-closure care • Notifications sent to the NC Division of Waste Management of attempted disposal of hazardous waste or other waste that the landfill is not permitted to receive • Notifications sent to the NC Division of Waste Management documenting the occurrence of a fire within the landfill Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-24 3.0 MONITORING AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES 3.1 GROUNDWATER MONITORING PLAN The Groundwater Monitoring Plan is included as Attachment IV-E to this Operations Report. 3.2 LANDFILL GAS MONITORING 3.2.1 Introduction During the decomposition of solid waste, gases are generated and released. Initially, carbon dioxide is the primary gas generated. As more oxygen is consumed by the decomposition, methane is generated in increasing amounts until a steady state is reached in which methane and carbon dioxide are generated in approximately equal amounts. Methane is an odorless and colorless gas produced by the decomposition of organic material. Landfill gas typically consists of 45 to 50% methane by volume. Landfill gas can move through subsurface strata, driven by pressure gradient and dispersion. The primary hazard from methane is its combustible nature. In concentrations of 5% to 15% in air, the mixture is explosive. At concentrations over 15% in air the gas will support a flame. The potential for methane to accumulate in confined spaces to a concentration of 5% or more is a health hazard. Another potential hazard is for the methane and carbon dioxide that frequently accompanies it to displace the ambient air and cause oxygen deficiency. Since methane disperses very quickly, the probability of air displacement is quite remote except in tightly confined spaces. Section 15A NCAC 13B .0544(d)(2)(B) requires that the landfill monitor for combustible gas on at least a quarterly basis. The regulatory limits are: 1.25% gas (25% LEL) Interiors of structures 5% gas (100% LEL) Concentration at the property boundary (LEL = Lower Explosive Limit) A Gas Control Plan has been prepared in accordance with Section 15A NCAC 13B .0544(d) and is included as Attachment IV-F to this Operations Report. Monitoring procedures are summarized below. The landfill has gas monitoring probes installed at the locations shown on the Permit Amendment Drawings. The probes will be monitored according to the following schedule and protocol. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-25 3.2.2 Landfill Gas Monitoring Systems 3.2.2.1 Landfill Gas Monitoring Probes A gas detection system was installed around the perimeter of the fill area. The probes were placed at approximately 250 to 300-foot intervals. Future probes will be generally spaced 250 feet apart around the perimeter of the C&D unit. This spacing is determined to be adequate based on the nature of the waste, the site specific geology, and the remote location of the waste unit. Probe locations are shown on the Permit Amendment Drawings. Due to methane concentrations above the lower explosive limit (LEL) being detected in various probes, a landfill gas interception trench and has been installed at the facility. The Landfill Gas Remediation Plan by Draper Aden Associates dated December 16, 2009 contains additional background information, plans and specifications for the interception trench. Gas venting and other controls are described in detail in the Gas Control Plan. Boreholes for existing probes were advanced to just above the unsaturated zone. The depths of the probes are listed in Specification Section 13322 Part 2.01. Of the probes that have been installed at the facility, several probes are a part of the compliance network and are monitored per the schedule in Section 3.2.2.3 of this plan. The ID’s of these compliance probes are as follows: GP-CD1 GP-CD6R GP-CD9 GP-CD12 GP-CD2 GP-CD7R GP-CD10 GP-CD13R GP-CD3 GP-CD8R GP-CD11 GP-CD18 GP-CD4R Future landfill gas probes will be advanced to just above seasonal high groundwater levels, or approximately 15 to 20 feet. One single-screen probe will be installed typically. Nested or clustered probes may be necessary in certain cases, such as when an exceedance of the lower explosive limit or a depth-to-groundwater of 45 feet or greater is present. The probe will be fitted with one quick connect coupling for each nested monitoring screen, which will remain closed between monitoring events. The probe will be equipped with a removable cap, lock and label, and will be constructed in accordance with Specification Section 13322. A North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer must be present to supervise the installation of all landfill gas monitoring wells. Prior to installation of any probes, the exact location, screened intervals and nesting of the probe will be submitted to the DENR Solid Waste Section for approval. Within thirty (30) days of well construction, an updated, scaled probe Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-26 location map, boring log and diagram will be submitted to the Solid Waste Section, which will include probe location and elevation determined by a North Carolina Registered Land Surveyor, total depth, screened interval, and distance above the seasonal high water table. Abandonment of wells will be in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0113(d) and certified by a North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer. An abandonment record will be provided to the DENR Solid Waste Section within thirty (30) days of well abandonment. Should probes, whether existing or proposed, be added or subtracted to the network, a request will be provided to the Division. 3.2.2.2 Structure Sampling Landfill gas migration can result in a fire and explosion hazard when methane accumulates in confined spaces such as pits, basements, and buildings. Inhabitable structures will be monitored as described in this section. 3.2.2.3 Landfill Gas Monitoring Frequency (1) Quarterly for exterior probes with consistent readings of less than 1.25% CH4, and less than 1.0% H2S. (2) Monthly for exterior probes reading over 1.25% CH4, and 1.0% H2S. (3) Quarterly for structures. Non-compliance probes will be monitored as necessary in order to gain additional information on migration of landfill gases. 3.2.3 Landfill Gas Sampling 3.2.3.1 Detection Equipment Exterior probes surrounding a C&D landfill and interior of inhabitable structures are routinely measured for methane and hydrogen sulfide content by percent volume. If the data collected during routine sampling of the exterior probes is used for design of an active landfill gas control system in the future, then the data should be referenced to atmospheric conditions. Monitoring for methane can be accomplished with acceptable accuracy with a portable combustible gas meter calibrated for methane. The meter should have a dual scale that reads either 0-5% methane or 0-100% methane, and 0-4% hydrogen Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-27 sulfide or 0-100% hydrogen sulfide. Accessories should include line trap assemblies, sampling hoses, probe tube, spare filters, and spare aspirators or batteries. Instruments based upon infrared technology are recommended, such that methane concentrations are not biased in low-oxygen environments. Self-contained landfill gas monitoring and recording units such as the Gas Data LMSx or Landtec GEM 500 or GEM 2000 are recommended. These units can also measure probe pressure. Prior to sampling, monitoring instruments should be calibrated in the field according to manufacturer’s specifications to detect the following parameters: methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen sulfide. Calibration and span procedures shall be performed on the instrument using a canister that is within the range of expected methane levels. For example, if low levels of methane are expected, a 15 CO2/15 CH4 canister can be used for calibration. Should high methane levels be expected, a 35 CO2/50 CH4 canister can be used. Methane zeroing should be done using ambient air in an open area, while oxygen zeroing can be done using any zero-oxygen bottle. 3.2.3.2 Sampling and Analysis Procedures Monitoring should be scheduled during a time when landfill gas is most likely to migrate. Gas migration is most likely when barometric pressure is low, or when soils are saturated with water. This typically includes: • Afternoon hours; • Frozen ground conditions • Snow-covered ground conditions • Snow-thaw conditions • When barometric pressure is low (1) Perimeter Monitoring The gas probes will be inspected upon arrival at each probe. Damaged probes will be repaired or replaced. In the event of settlement around the probe, the area will be regraded and a new concrete apron will be constructed. The meter will be used in general accordance with the following procedure: 1. Prepare the Monitoring Data Form, included as Appendix 1 to the Gas Control Plan, Attachment IV-F to this Operations Report, with the required information of facility name, permit number, type and serial number of gas monitoring instrument, Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-28 factory calibration date of the instrument, date of landfill gas monitoring event, name and position of sample collector, pump rate of instrument being used, ambient air temperature, and general weather conditions. 2. At the initial probe and all subsequent probes that are expected to have a significant difference in methane or hydrogen sulfide content from the previous probe, calibrate the meter with the calibration gases in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Record on the Monitoring Data Form the date and time of field calibration, type of gas used for field calibration (15/15 or 35/50), and expiration date of field calibration gas canister. 3. Purge the meter for a minimum of 60 seconds. Record purge time and verification of purge on the Monitoring Data Form. 4. Clean around the probe cap to keep dirt from entering the sample tubes. 5. Remove the probe cap. 6. Connect the meter to the probe to be measured. 7. Pump until a steady state is reached. The reading should not vary by more than 0.5 percent by volume according to the instrument’s scale. 8. The meter will automatically record the concentrations of methane, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, and other gases. Manually record methane, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen and carbon-dioxide concentrations and barometric pressure on the Monitoring Data Form. Should oxygen read higher than 2%, the reading may be faulty and should be verified with a second reading. 9. Disconnect the meter. Replace probe covers and caps and shut the valve, if applicable. 10. Purge the meter for a minimum of 60 seconds. Move to the next probe if applicable. 11. Repeat steps 2 - 10. After probes have been measured, measure the gas standards using the meter to verify that the calibrations have not drifted. Reports of readings that exceed the regulatory limits will be submitted to the Division upon completion. A copy of reports should be kept at the landfill or administrative offices in the official operating record. (2) Interior Monitoring Interior spaces will be monitored using the selected combustible- gas meter in accordance with the following procedures. When personnel are required to fully enter an area to be monitored, oxygen should be Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-29 monitored prior to methane. If the oxygen content is less than 19.5 percent, the air is considered as oxygen deficient and could be harmful to human health and safety. (a) Oxygen Content Testing 1. Prepare the Monitoring Data Form, included as Appendix 1 to the Gas Control Plan, Attachment IV-F to this Operations Report, with the required information of facility name, permit number, type and serial number of gas monitoring instrument, factory calibration date of the instrument, date of landfill gas monitoring event, name and position of sample collector, pump rate of instrument being used, ambient air temperature, and general weather conditions. 2. Prepare the oxygen meter by calibrating to ambient air in an open space or outdoors. 3. At each location tested for methane above, test for oxygen content by inserting oxygen probe. 4. Pump and read meter after pointer has stabilized. The reading should not vary by more than 0.2 percent by volume according to the instrument’s scale. 5. Test for oxygen levels at approximately one foot above the floor and approximately five feet above the floor. 6. Record readings on Monitoring Data Form. (b) Methane and Hydrogen Sulfide Monitoring 1. At the initial structure and all subsequent structures that are expected to have a significant difference in methane or hydrogen sulfide content from the previous structure, calibrate the meter with the calibration gases in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Record on the Monitoring Data Form the date and time of field calibration, type of gas used for field calibration (15/15 or 35/50), and expiration date of field calibration gas canister. Set the meter to 0% on the 0-5% scale. Install the gas sampling hose and probe rod. 2. Purge the meter for a minimum of 60 seconds. Record purge time and verification of purge on the Monitoring Data Form. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-30 3. Enter the test area in a manner that minimizes the creation of air movements that can disperse methane. If sampling air in a closed space (such as a sewer clean-out), keep the cover closed as much as possible to reduce dispersal of the gas. 4. Place the probe in the area to be tested. Let the meter pointer stabilize and read the percent gas indicated. If the percent is over 5% for methane of 4% for hydrogen sulfide remove the probe, switch to the 0-100% scale and repeat the reading. 5. The meter will automatically record the concentrations of methane, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, and other gases. Manually record methane, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen and carbon-dioxide concentrations and barometric pressure on the Monitoring Data Form. 6. Remove the probe and repeat Steps 1 through 5 at the same location to obtain two readings. The readings should be duplicated within 1-2%. 7. Replace covers and caps, if applicable and move to the next structure. 8. Repeat steps 1 - 7. If methane readings over 1.25% or hydrogen sulfide readings over 1% are recorded, the source should be investigated and the area ventilated. Readings of 5% for methane and 4% for hydrogen sulfide or greater should be cause for immediate evacuation of the affected area. Begin ventilation immediately and begin a search for the source of the gas. Do not re-occupy until the gas levels are maintained below 1.25% for methane and 1% for hydrogen sulfide. As a general rule, maintaining a good air flow in the building and good ventilation will help reduce potential gas buildup situations. In addition, areas that are usually closed off such as janitorial closets and equipment service areas can be helped with louvered doors and through-the-wall vents. Reports on interior testing should be transmitted to the Solid Waste Division immediately upon completion. High readings requiring evacuation or extra ventilation should be reported immediately. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-31 3.2.4 Record Keeping and Reporting 3.2.4.1 Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form A Monitoring Data Form is included as Appendix 1 to the Gas Control Plan, Attachment IV-F to this Operations Report. The form will be used any time that a probe is monitored for compliance. Completed forms will be kept on file at the facility. 3.2.4.2 Sampling Reports Reports on interior testing will be transmitted to the Solid Waste Division immediately upon completion. 3.2.4.3 Permanent Record Keeping The facility will have on file all interior testing reports as submitted to the Solid Waste Division. The file will include correspondence to and from the Division. The facility will have on file all well completion logs and well abandonment logs as submitted to the Solid Waste Division, including boring logs, diagrams, and scaled probe location maps showing probe location and elevation determined by a North Carolina Registered Land Surveyor, total depth, screened interval, and distance above the seasonal high water table. The file will include correspondence to and from the Division. At the time of closure of the landfill, records will be transferred to the administration office of the Orange County Solid Waste Management Department. Reporting to DENR Solid Waste Division and record keeping by the County will continue through post-closure. 3.2.5 Contingency Plan Rule .0544(d)(3) of the solid waste rules indicate that the landfill operator must take certain steps when the regulatory limits of gas concentration are reached. Those steps are as follows. 1. Immediately take all steps necessary to protect human health and notify the Solid Waste Division. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-32 2. Within seven days of detection, place in the operating record the methane gas levels detected and a description of the steps taken to protect human health. 3. Within 60 days of detection, implement a remediation plan for the methane gas releases, place a copy of the plan in the operating record, and notify the division that the plan has been implemented. The plan will describe the nature and extent of the problem and the proposed remediation. 4. The Division may establish alternative schedules for demonstrating compliance with Subparagraphs (3) (B) and (3)(C). [Rule .0544(d)(3)] Waiting until the regulatory concentration limits occurs before taking action may accidentally place the site in non-compliance status. Consequently, the following interim action level is recommended. If the exterior probes read 1.25% gas for three consecutive months, the operator will make further investigation in the vicinity of the suspect probes. The investigation will determine if additional monitoring is needed or if active or passive gas control systems are needed. Should the investigation indicate a need for additional gas controls , the Solid Waste Division will be notified. A schedule for implementation will be established with the Division and implementation will take place according to that schedule. 3.2.6 Certification of Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer A North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer must be present to supervise the installation of all landfill gas monitoring wells. Installation and abandonment of any gas probes must be certified by a North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer. The Gas Control Plan included as Attachment IV-F to this Operations Plan must be certified by a North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer. The Professional Certification Statement is included as Appendix 2 to the Gas Control Plan. 3.2.7 Certification of Registered Land Surveyor The boring logs and/or well diagrams that are to be submitted to the Solid Waste Section following well construction must be signed and sealed with the stamp of a North Carolina Registered Land Surveyor. 3.3 SITE EVALUATIONS Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-33 The landfill operator must inspect and maintain the landfill equipment and systems. Attachment IV-D is a minimum list of the items to be inspected. The list indicates the frequency of the inspections. The list has blank lines to allow the operator to add items as experience dictates. Periodically the landfill operator should evaluate the overall landfill operations. Two levels of evaluation are recommended. A monthly evaluation of the general site conditions should look for problems with routine operations. Deficiencies can be incorporated into a "punch list" for further action. Items appearing for more than two months should trigger a more detailed look at that portion of the operation. Twice yearly the landfill should be evaluated in detail. After the evaluation, a plan to correct deficiencies should be developed. Samples of the checklists are included in Attachment IV-D. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-34 4.0 CONTINGENCY PLANNING 4.1 WET WEATHER OPERATIONS During periods of wet weather it will be necessary to depart from normal operating procedures. The goals in wet weather operations are to minimize the size of the working area to avoid disturbing as much area as possible, minimize the haul distance off of the access road to keep vehicles from getting stuck and tracking mud and expose as little trash as possible to the rain to reduce leachate generation. Most of the time the regular working face can be used if there is good access to it. To keep the surface of the landfill passable, temporary access roads should be built on each lift. These roads will serve the next higher lift. A combination of #3 and #57 stone will make a solid base for traffic, even in very wet weather. By using the same route over the fill the road will be compacted by vehicles and become quite hard. Occasionally, there will be prolonged periods of rain that will make even the best access road impassable. During these periods an area reserved for wet weather operations should be used. By careful monitoring of the weather forecasts the long range prospects for rain can be reasonably determined. When the prospects of rain are high the operations should change slightly. The vehicles should be directed to the designated wet weather area. This area should be as close as possible to the access road. Stone should be spread to provide an area for the vehicles to turn around and reach the working face. Mud in front of the working face should be bladed away by the loader or the compactor. Additionally, a stockpile of cover material should be kept on hand during the wet months in the fall and spring. During these months hauling from one of the large stockpiles may be impossible. It is desirable to have a small stockpile of about two weeks cover material kept adjacent to the wet weather fill area. After using the stockpile it should be replenished and the area graded to drain. The stockpile should be used before the fill advances too far. This avoids leaving small piles scattered over the site. During the wet period in the spring the wet weather area may be needed several times. To avoid having to tow vehicles out of the landfill, a stockpile of crushed stone should be kept ready to restore the access road. 4.2 FIRE CONTROL Landfill operations will comply with all applicable requirements developed under a State Implementation Plan (SIP) pursuant to the most current amendment of Section 110 of the Clean Air Act. In accordance with Rule .0542(i)(2) of the Solid Waste Management Regulations, open burning of waste, except for site-generated land-clearing debris and emergency clean-up debris as Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-35 approved by the Division, is prohibited at the landfill. Should approved burning occur, the burning date and time will be included in the operating record. To provide immediate capability to stop small fires, each piece of equipment should be fitted with at least one multipurpose dry chemical fire extinguisher. In addition, the compactor and loader that work in the waste should have built in fire suppression systems for the engine compartments. The fire department can provide training in proper use of fire extinguishers. This training is highly recommended since proper fire extinguisher technique is not obvious and must be learned. For larger fires, two techniques may be used. If the fire is relatively small and there are few vehicles around the operator may attempt to put out the fire. Equipment used in this procedure must be free of hydraulic and fuel leaks and the pan must be fairly clean or the equipment will catch fire. First the burning waste must be pushed out of the working face. The operator must position himself between the fire and the waste and, using the blade push the burning waste on to ground. Obviously the quicker this is done the smaller the pile will be. Once the burning waste is separated from the working face the operator should spread out the waste into a thin lift. Dirt should be spread on the surface of the lift and using the dirt as a cushion the operator should walk his machine over the burning waste to smother the fire. Once the fire appears out the operator should check it by un-covering the waste. If the fire is still burning the above procedure should be repeated until the fire is out. For larger fires the Fire Department should be called. The New Hope Fire Department services the fire district surrounding the site. A coordinated effort by the landfill staff and the Fire Department can extinguish a landfill fire quickly. In this procedure the waste is separated from the working face as before. The waste is also spread into a thin lift. Then, the loader operator uses his bucket to lift the waste a few feet as he passes over the waste. While he is doing this the Fire Crew is spraying the waste as it is lifted. Water in sedimentation ponds and nearby creeks can be used by firefighters to assist in extinguishing fires. This allows the waste to be thoroughly wetted rather than just the surface if the fire was just sprayed in place. Several passes will usually be required to extinguish the fire. This procedure also has the advantage of using a relatively small amount of water. It is recommended that the loader used have an enclosed cab. A compactor can also be used but it is usually slower. All landfill employees should be instructed in the firefighting techniques. Emergency numbers are listed in the Contingency Plan section of Attachment IV-C. This list should be posted in a conspicuous place and updated as needed. The landfill operator should review the firefighting procedures with the fire department to gain their cooperation and to avoid confusion when they arrive at the landfill. The middle of a fire is no place to conduct a class. Authorized representatives of the Fire Department should be provided keys to the entrance gate. They should also be given permission to cut the lock if necessary to gain entry. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-36 If fires do occur on the landfill, the Division of Waste Management will be verbally notified within 24 hours of the fire and written notification will be submitted to the Division within 15 days of the occurrence. A copy of the NC DEQ Fire Occurrence Notification is attached to Appendix IV-C for use in the event of a fire. 4.3 HAZARDOUS WASTES The regulations specifically prohibit the acceptance and disposal of hazardous waste. Hazardous waste is defined by regulation as "a solid waste, or combination of solid wastes, that because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics may: a. cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible or incapacitating reversible illness; or b. pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported or disposed of, or otherwise managed." The landfill operator should become familiar with the regulations on hazardous waste management. Even though hazardous waste is prohibited at the landfill and the prohibition is posted at the entrance, some small quantities of hazardous waste may get into the landfill. The personnel working at the entrance facility and the working face should be aware of the more common items they might find and how to handle those items. The procedures in the Waste Screening Plan, Attachment IV-C to this Operations Report, are the minimum that should be followed if a suspicious item is found. 4.4 FIRST AID The moving of heavy equipment, the maneuvering of collection trucks and smaller vehicles and the mix of materials found on a landfill combine to create a hazardous environment. Managing the hazardous environment is the subject of another section. This section deals with handling the consequences of an injury from an accident. Immediate response is critical to the successful treatment of an injury. At least one person trained in basic first aid should be on the site at all times. It is preferable that at least one person trained in advanced first aid be on the site. These courses are available at a modest cost from the American Red Cross and many rescue squads. An industrial first aid kit should be kept at the office at all times where everyone can find it. Vehicles should have smaller portable first aid kits. The telephone number of the nearest rescue squad should be posted beside every telephone. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-37 All injuries should be reported, and the appropriate reports filed. This will protect the County and the employee in the case of a workman’s compensation claim. It will also give the supervisor a record to check. If the same type of injury keeps reoccurring, then the cause or a method to avoid the injury causing action should be found and changes in procedures made. 4.5 DISASTER DEBRIS SITES The C&D landfill has two temporary disaster debris sites located on it, one for C&D material (DS68-002) and one for vegetative waste materials (DS68-001). These sites are pre- approved by NC DEQ to handle disaster/storm debris in the time of natural disasters for use of handling excessive storm generated debris and have been deemed acceptable for temporary management areas. Both sites are located within the footprint of the permitted C&D landfill and would only be used after application was made to the Department for the temporary use of the sites. In the event of activation, the C&D unit would be located within an active phase but separate from the current working face. By keeping the storm debris separate from the normal incoming waste, the County can maintain their current operations while allowing for the storm generated waste to be tracked and measured for potential FEMA reimbursement. The vegetative waste, if activated, would be stockpiled within the Phase II and III area while awaiting volume reduction efforts. This debris management site will only be available to the County for use during the time prior to construction of Phases II and III. After Phase II and III are constructed, the County will need to use one of their other pre-approved sites or look for a new site. All wastes will be handled in a manner consistent with the County’s emergency and disaster response plans and NC DEQ’s Emergency/Disaster Vegetative and Land Clearing Debris Guidance. Both units would need to be closed within 6 months of activation unless specific approval was granted by NC DEQ for an extension of time to handle the ultimate disposal of the wastes. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-38 5.0 STAFFING 5.1 POSITIONS The landfill staff turns the plans for the landfill into reality. The quality of the landfill operation rests almost entirely with the staff. If they execute the plans properly the landfill will operate successfully. The County’s liability from the landfill will be minimized. The following sections discuss briefly the roles and responsibilities normally associated with the positions found at the most landfills. The Solid Waste Management Director has overall responsibility for site operations, as well as general site planning. The Director is responsible for policy and field design decisions. The County Solid Waste Management Department is the primary site operator. The County is responsible for the daily activities at the Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill. The Director, or his duly appointed representative, will directly supervise and inspect daily operations. The on-site supervisor or equivalent personnel will be trained and will maintain training in all aspects of landfill operation as outlined in Section 5.2 below. The on-site supervisor or equivalent personnel will, in accordance with Rule .0542(j)(2) and G.S. 130A-309.25, be on site while the facility is open for public use and at all times during active waste management. The on-site supervisor will administer the daily instructions and be responsible for the proper operation and maintenance of the equipment. Additional duties may include personnel administration and handling problems with customers. He should also keep the Director up to date on the needs and problems of the landfill. The equipment operators are responsible for the waste handling activities, including placement and compaction, cover material excavation, daily equipment servicing and minor maintenance and other miscellaneous duties such as site cleanup. The gate attendants are responsible for handling the incoming vehicles. Vehicles must be processed through the attendant’s station and accurately charged for their waste. Vehicles must be screened and sent to the proper part of the landfill for the waste they are carrying. The gate attendants should be familiar with the operational aspects of the landfill. They can then give customers accurate answers to their questions about landfill rules and policies. Gate attendants assist with other general activities. The landfill staffing includes full time inspectors. These inspectors perform waste screening of incoming loads and assist with directing traffic. Occasionally, it may be necessary to add additional staff for special projects such as major cleanup campaigns and construction. Other County staff or part time employees should be considered. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-39 5.2 TRAINING Training is available for employees from many sources. Solid waste trade and professional associations sponsor seminars and training at low or no costs. One such seminar is the Certified Landfill Manager course offered by the Solid Waste Association of North America. The American Red Cross, Fire Department and National Safety Council can provide first aid, fire and vehicle safety information. Equipment manufacturers are a source of information on equipment operation. A qualified firm will conduct groundwater and surface water monitoring, and a certified environmental laboratory will conduct laboratory analysis. The following training program can be implemented at a fairly low cost: Subject Employees Frequency Waste Handling Supervisor, Operators Initial Employment & Annual Waste Monitoring All Initial Employment & Annual Review of All Initial Employment & Annual Operations Report Review of Permit All Initial Employment & Annual and Regulations Reporting and All Initial Employment & Annual Recordkeeping Equipment O & M Operators Semi-Annual And With All New Equipment First Aid, CPR Supervisors Yearly Fire Control All, Fire Dept.

The personnel working on a landfill are exposed to a variety of hazards from heavy equipment, vehicles and the many materials they handle. The sources of injury could be fire or explosion, contact with contaminants, falls, equipment accidents, traffic accidents and enclosed areas such as manholes. An effective safety program will train the employees to see the hazards early and avoid them or change the situation to eliminate the hazard. The principle of risk management can be practiced on a landfill. First, inventory activities to assess hazards. Once the hazards are recognized, determine who is exposed to the hazard and how often the exposure exists. The goal then is to do one of three things. a. Reduce the exposure to the hazard by isolating the hazardous situation or eliminating it. An example may be to place a guard rail next to a steep slope. b. Change the frequency of exposure to the hazard. For example, the servicing of a piece of equipment may be put on a less frequent cycle by use of a higher grade oil or part. c. Where exposure cannot be guarded or reduced the employee must be trained to work in the hazardous environment and give the necessary protective equipment. An example will be the inspection of the landfill gas venting system. 6.2 EQUIPMENT Most safety training can be accomplished by use of the many packaged training programs. Some equipment manufactures can provide training films that are usually available on a loan basis. The following checklist for safe equipment operation may be useful. a. Check equipment before starting b. Use steps and handholds c. Keep steps clean d. Inspect area before moving e. Operate from driver’s seat f. Wear seat belts g. Never mount moving equipment Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Page IV-41 h. Authorized passengers only i. Keep bucket or blade low j. Check blind areas k. Keep enough clearance l. Avoid sidehill travel m. Avoid excessive speed n. Do not crush sealed containers o. Go carefully over bulky items p. Check work area q. Park on level ground r. Lower attachments to ground when parked s. Never jump from equipment t. Avoid leaving equipment unattended u. Always have adequate lighting v. Clean equipment before repairing w. Remain in seat during equipment adjustments 6.3 PERSONNEL Steel toe safety shoes with steel sole plates and gloves should be required apparel for landfill personnel. If necessary, dust protection should be provided. Good hygiene should be stressed to all personnel to prohibit the spread of contamination. Smoking on the landfill and in any confined area should be discouraged.

If any portion of the material passes through and drops from the filter within the 5-min (minute) test period, the material is deemed to contain free liquids. 3.0 Interferences 3.1 Filter media were observed to separate from the filter cone on exposure to alkaline materials. This development causes no problems in the sample is not disturbed. 4.0 Apparatus and Material 4.1 Conical paint filter: Mesh number 60 (fine meshed size). Available at local paint stores such as Sherwin-Williams and Glidden for an approximate cost of $0.07 each. 4.2 Glass funnel: If the paint filter, with the waste, cannot sustain its weight on the ring stand, then a fluted glass funnel or glass funnel with a mouth large enough to allow at least 1 in. of the filter mesh to protrude should be used to support the filter. The funnel is to be fluted or have a large open mouth in order to support the paint filter yet not interfere with the movement, to the graduated cylinder, of the liquid that passes through the filter mesh. 4.3 Ring Stand and ring, or tripod. 4.4 Graduated cylinder or breaker: 100-mL. 5.0 Reagents 5.1 None 6.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, and Handling Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-A 6.1 All samples must be collected according to the directions in Chapter Nine of EPA SW-846. 6.2 All 100-mL or 100-g representative sample is required for the test. It is not possible to obtain a sample of 100 mL or 100 g that is sufficiently representative of the waste, the analyst may use larger size samples in multiples or 100 Ml or 100 g, i.e., 200, 300, 400 mL of g. However, when larger samples are used, analysts shall divide the sample into 100-mL or 100-g portions and test each portion separately. If any portion contains free liquids, the entire sample is considered to have free liquids. 7.0 Procedure 7.1 Assemble test apparatus as shown in the attached Figure. 7.2 Place sample in the filter. A funnel may be used to provide support for the paint filter. 7.3 Allow sample to drain for 5 min into the graduated cylinder. 7.4 If any portion of the test material collects in the graduated cylinder in the 5 min-period, then the material is deemed to contain free liquids for purposes of 40 CFR 2.64.314 and 265.314. 8.0 Quality Control 8.1 Duplicate samples should be analyzed on a routine basis. 9.0 Method Performance 9.1 No data provided. 10.0 References 10.1 None required.

The plan is based on information from the SWANA Publication, Waste Screening at Municipal Solid Waste Management Facilities. Figures 1-5 of this procedure are based on that document. This plan is intended to provide guidance to the facility operator, the Orange County Solid Waste Management Department, for implementation of a waste screening program. The plan is a supplement to the site operating policies and procedures. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this plan is to provide guidance for municipal solid waste screening. Waste screening is defined as the process of detecting and diverting unauthorized, unacceptable, MSW, regulated Hazardous, regulated Medical, Radioactive, PCB and liquid waste from the Landfill Disposal Unit. 1.2 Regulations Applicable Regulations: • 40 CFR Subpart 61M - National Emission Standards for Asbestos • 40 CFR Subpart 761D – Storage and Disposal of PCB’s • 15A NCAC 13B .0534 - General Requirements for C&DLF Facilities and Units 2.0 Responsibility The facility operator is responsible for notifying the facility users of the criteria for waste acceptance. The facility operator is responsible for implementing the Waste Screening Plan. 3.0 Notifications The operator will provide to every commercial operator statements that incoming waste is subject to screening and a listing of unacceptable wastes and/or waste acceptance policies. In general the following are not acceptable wastes for the C&D Waste Disposal Unit. Some of the wastes may be acceptable at other units. Regulated Hazardous Wastes Waste Containing PCB's Radiological Waste Regulated Medical Waste Unrinsed Pesticide Containers Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-C- Page 2 Liquids (A waste is classified as liquid if it fails the "Paint Filter Test".) Yard Trash - A separate handling area is provided Asbestos-containing material Waste Oil - A separate handling area is provided Tires - A separate handling area is provided Municipal Solid Waste Unapproved Industrial/Commercial Waste Any other special waste as determined by the facility operator (See the list of banned items on Pages 4 and 5 of the Operations Report.) Applications for acceptance of industrial, commercial or special waste must be submitted to the Orange County Solid Waste Management Department. A sign or signs will be posted at the landfill entrance stating that wastes are subject to inspection and unacceptable waste will be excluded. 4.0 Initial Inspection The scale attendant will determine from the waste hauler the nature and origin of the waste being delivered. Unacceptable waste discovered at this point will either be turned away or directed to a proper disposal/handling facility. New or unfamiliar haulers will be subject to detailed questioning as to the character of their loads. Refer to Figures 1-3. 5.0 Random Waste Screening Procedure The following procedure will be used to randomly inspect incoming waste haulers so as to screen out the above listed wastes. 5.1 Inspection Frequency Loads will be inspected at the frequency of at least one (1) inspection per week of the commercial and industrial haulers, or loads mixed with residential waste, but no less than 50 inspections per year. 5.2 Random Inspections The facility operator will conduct detailed inspections of the loads of commercial and industrial waste, or loads mixed with residential waste. The waste load will be diverted to specially constructed pad made of low permeability earth near to the operating face. The pad should be constructed as illustrated in Appendix to this Waste Screening Procedure. The incoming loads will be inspected as illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 in the Appendix to this Waste Screening Procedure. A record will be kept of the inspection on a Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-C- Page 3 form similar to that illustrated in Figures 4 and 5. Unacceptable waste may be photographed for purposed of maintaining a complete record. Unacceptable non-hazardous waste will be removed from the site by the hauler who brought it on site. Hazardous waste will be treated in accordance with the Contingency Plan. 5.3 Continuous Observation In addition to the random screening described above, the equipment operators, spotter and on site inspector will observe the incoming waste as it is dumped during normal operations. If the material cannot be identified, the material will be relocated to the appropriate handling area or isolated as described under the Contingency Plan below. 5.4 Recordkeeping Records of inspections, rejected waste and unacceptable waste that was removed from the site will be kept in the Operating Record. The records will be kept for the life of the site plus thirty years. The Operating Record will be subject to inspection at any time. Regulated Hazardous waste, found at the site will be reported to the DENR Solid Waste Section for consultation as to proper handling procedures. 5.4 Training The Landfill Supervisor and Site Inspector will be trained in waste screening and recognition of Regulated Hazardous waste and other unacceptable waste. The SWANA Waste Screening Course is recommended. The Landfill Supervisor will distribute information from the course and other sources on waste screening to the site personnel. The Landfill Supervisor will conduct semi-annual training on waste screening policies and procedures. 5.5 Contingency Plan Should unacceptable waste be found at the working face or elsewhere on site, the following procedure will be followed. 1. As waste is being unloaded, watch for items such as: 1 and 5 gallon cans with liquids, compressed gas cylinders, 20, 35 and 55 gallon drums, any powder or liquid that emits a vapor or smokes. The operator may add to this list. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-C- Page 4 2. If determined as safe the material will be removed to a location away from the working face to prevent accidental disturbance. Items not determined to be safe should be isolated using equipment, if the container will not be damaged. Otherwise the area must be isolated and fill operations moved to another location or halted depending on the apparent risk involved. 3. If suspicious waste is found, isolate it as best as possible. Report the suspicious waste to the supervisor or call the Fire Department at 968-2781. Ask for the Hazmat Representative. He will come and determine the degree of hazard, if any. 4. If the material is found to be hazardous, contact the Waste Management Specialist, DENR Division of Waste Management. If material is found that cannot be handled in the above described manner, the landfill operator will immediately contact the appropriate emergency personnel and request their immediate action to remove and safely dispose of dangerous materials discovered at the landfill. This may include contracting with a properly licensed transport service to remove the material to a properly permitted disposal/handling facility. 5. Every attempt should be made to identify the hauler who brought the container into the site. That hauler should be responsible for its removal or cleanup costs. 6. During the period the material is on site, no one should attempt to move it by hand or to sample or smell it. Protective clothing and equipment is usually required to handle such material. The following emergency telephone numbers are provided in the event of an emergency.

Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 1 GAS CONTROL PLAN ORANGE COUNTY EUBANKS ROAD C&D LANDFILL 1.0 INTRODUCTION The following Gas Control Plan addresses monitoring of subsurface landfill gas migration around the Eubanks Road C&D Landfill and monitoring of landfill gas within facility structures. Landfill gas monitoring probes have been installed around the perimeter of the landfill. Methane is an odorless and colorless gas produced by the decomposition of organic material. Landfill gas typically consists of 45 to 50% methane by volume. Landfill gas can move through subsurface strata, driven by pressure gradient and dispersion. The primary hazard from methane is its combustible nature. In concentrations of 5% to 15% in air, the mixture is explosive. At concentrations over 15% in air the gas will support a flame. The potential for methane to accumulate in confined spaces to a concentration of 5% or more is a health hazard. Another potential hazard is for the methane and carbon dioxide which frequently accompanies it to displace the ambient air and cause oxygen deficiency. Since methane disperses very quickly, the probability of air displacement is quite remote except in tightly confined spaces. 1.1 Background Information 1.1.1 Facility Information The Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill, Permit No. 68-04, is located approximately 5 miles north of Chapel Hill on Eubanks Road. The landfill is owned by the County of Orange. Waste placement began on June 1, 2006. 1.1.2 Regional Physical Setting General physical conditions that characterize the landfill and surrounding areas are summarized in this section. Such conditions include physiography, geologic setting, hydrogeologic setting, and larger scale hydrogeologic influences. 1.2 Site Geology 1.2.1 Regional Physiographic Setting The landfill is located in Region J of the North Carolina Geological Survey, which is located in the eastern portion of the Piedmont geologic province (Carpenter and Wilson, 1981). Region J is comprised of six counties: Durham, Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 2 Orange, Wake, Johnston, Chatham, Lee. The far eastern portion of Region J extends onto the Coastal Plain geologic province (Carpenter and Wilson, 1981). 1.2.2 Regional Soil Series Soils in Region J are typically dominated by three associations (Carpenter and Wilson, Plate 2): • Georgeville-Herndon Association, which are well-drained, silty soils. • Lignum-Iredell-Herndon Association, which are well-drained to moderately well-drained, primarily clayey subsoils with loamy surface soils. • Helena-Appling Association, which are well-drained to moderately well-drained, clayey soils. 1.2.3 Regional Geologic Setting Most of Orange County, including the subject landfill area, is located within the Carolina Slate Belt, which is a large scale geologic terrain comprised of metavolcanic, metasedimentary and plutonic rock. Structurally, the terrain is characterized by relatively open to tightly closed, northeast-trending folds. Faults are common. To the east, the Slate Belt is bounded by sedimentary rocks of Triassic age, which outcrop in the extreme southeastern corner of Orange County. The Geologic Map of Orange County, North Carolina (Allen and Wilson, 1968) indicates that the landfill area is immediately underlain by volcaniclastic epiclastic rocks (possibly Paleozoic in age; labeled as Unit III) and dacitic to rhyolitic rocks (possibly Paleozoic in age; labeled as Unit IV). The closest intrusive body (igneous: granite) is approximately one-half mile to the south. The nearest dike (probably Triassic in age, basalt or diabase) is located to the east, approximately 3.5 miles from the landfill. 1.2.4 Regional Hydrogeologic Setting Bain and Thomas (1966) indicate that groundwater is generally obtained from either (1) fractures (or other planar features) in bedrock or (2) overlying residual soils. 1.3 Regulatory Limits Rule .0544(d)(2)(B) requires that the landfill monitor for methane gas or other explosive gases on at least a quarterly basis. The regulatory limits are: Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 3 1.25% gas (25% LEL) Interiors of structures 5% gas (100% LEL) Concentration at the property boundary (LEL = Lower Explosive Limit) 2.0 LANDFILL GAS MONITORING 2.1 Landfill Gas Probe and Vent Locations A series of landfill gas monitoring probes have been installed around the perimeter of the landfill unit. The probes were placed at approximately 250-foot to 300-foot intervals. These probes will be monitored during the active life of the landfill and during the post- closure care period. This spacing is determined to be adequate based on the nature of the waste, the site specific geology, and the remote location of the waste unit. Probe locations are shown on the Permit Amendment Drawings. Due to methane concentrations above the lower explosive limit (LEL) being detected in various probes, a landfill gas interception trench has been installed at the facility. Initially, methane concentrations in GP-CD4 through GP-CD8, and GP-CD13 exceeded the LEL. Further investigation of landfill gas migration limits, monitoring of newly-constructed probes GP-CD6R and GP-CD8R indicated the presence of methane, with GP-CD5R in exceedance of the LEL. Through the installation and monitoring of probes GP-14 through GP-18 and a subsequent landfill gas migration study, it was determined that a landfill gas interception trench should be installed along the western perimeter of the waste disposal area. The location of trenching and vents is shown on the Permit Amendment Drawings. The Landfill Gas Remediation Plan by Draper Aden Associates dated December 16, 2009 contains additional background information, plans and specifications for the interception trench. A landfill gas venting system will be installed at the time of closure. Gas vents will be spaced approximately 200’ apart in order to achieve a frequency of approximately one vent per acre. Additional venting may be necessary if the landfill gas concentration exceeds 80% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) at the facility boundary. 2.1.1 General System Design Requirements Future landfill gas probes will be advanced to just above seasonal high groundwater levels, or approximately 15 to 20 feet. One single-screen probe will be installed typically. Nested or clustered probes may be necessary in certain cases, such as when an exceedance of the lower explosive limit or a depth-to-groundwater of 45 feet or greater is present. The probe will be fitted with one quick connect coupling for each nested monitoring screen, which will remain closed between monitoring Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 4 events. The probe will be equipped with a removable cap, lock and label, and will be constructed in accordance with Specification Section 13322. A North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer must be present to supervise the installation of all landfill gas monitoring wells. The gas venting system includes landfill gas vents within the waste footprint and a landfill gas collection layer below the low-permeability component of the landfill cap. The gas collection layer will be a geocomposite material as specified in Specification Section 13302. A landfill gas vent detail, to be used for future gas vent construction, is included the Permit Amendment Drawings. Specifications are included in the Engineering Plan. Passive landfill gas vents will consist of six (6) inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe installed within a eight (8) foot by eight (8) foot by three (3) foot) excavated hole lined with geotextile fabric. Boreholes cannot be advanced through C&D waste using typical bucket auger drill rigs. The vent borehole will be constructed using an excavator or similar equipment. Therefore, the typical depth of vents of 80% of the depth of waste, as found in MSW landfills, cannot generally be accomplished in C&D landfills. A solid PVC vertical pipe will be placed so that at a depth of one and a half (1 ½) feet below the top of the intermediate cover layer, it terminates and tees into a four (4) foot long horizontal perforated pipe section. The four-foot pipe section will terminate at each end into a tee, whereby two additional four-foot perforated pipe sections will run horizontally. Pipe perforations will be arranged in sets of 3/8-inch holes with 4 holes at 5 to 6 inch spacing. Slotted pipe (0.010 inches) may be used in lieu of perforations. The well hole will be backfilled with NCDOT No. 57 aggregate to the bottom of the soil cap; the aggregate backfill will act as a filter pack for the landfill gas vent. The remainder of the well hole will be backfilled with a minimum eighteen (18) inch bentonite/soil seal. Abandonment of wells will be in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0113(d) and certified by a North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer. An abandonment record will be provided to the DENR Solid Waste Section within thirty (30) days of well abandonment. 2.1.2 Compliance Non-Compliance Probes Probes have been installed around the landfill perimeter, as shown on the Permit Amendment Drawings. The compliance monitoring probes are as follows: GP-CD1 GP-CD6R GP-CD9 GP-CD12 GP-CD2 GP-CD7R GP-CD10 GP-CD13R GP-CD3 GP-CD8R GP-CD11 GP-CD18 GP-CD4R Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 5 Non-compliance probes will be monitored at the County’s option in order to gain additional information on migration of landfill gases. Should probes, whether existing or proposed, be added or subtracted to the network, a request will be provided to the Division. 2.1.3 Future Controls The landfill gas control system consists of one passive landfill gas vent per acre of landfill. If needed as indicated by landfill gas monitoring, additional control systems will be designed and submitted to DENR for review and approval. A permit amendment may be required for the additional control systems. Within thirty (30) days of well construction, an updated, scaled probe location map, boring log and diagram will be submitted to the Solid Waste Section, which will include probe location and elevation determined by a North Carolina Registered Land Surveyor, total depth, screened interval, and distance above the seasonal high water table. If an additional gas control system is required, the system will be designed to: • prevent methane accumulation in on-site structures, • reduce methane concentrations at monitored facility property boundaries to concentrations that are less than compliance levels, and • provide for the collection and treatment, and/or disposal, of decomposition gas condensate produced at the surface. If required, future controls may include one or more of the following: • additional landfill gas vents • active collection systems • interception/venting trenches Condensate generated from gas control systems cannot be recirculated into the landfill since the facility is not designed with a composite liner system. 2.2 Structure Sampling Landfill gas migration can result in a fire and explosion hazard when methane accumulates in confined spaces such as pits, basements, and buildings. Inhabitable structures will be monitored as described in this section. 2.3 Landfill Gas Monitoring Frequency Landfill gas monitoring will begin upon installation of probes and will continue throughout the active life of the landfill and through the post-closure period. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 6 2.3.1 Quarterly for exterior probes with consistent readings of less than 1.25% CH4. 2.3.2 Monthly for exterior probes reading over 1.25% CH4. 2.3.3 Quarterly for structures. 3.0 LANDFILL GAS SAMPLING 3.1 Detection Equipment Exterior probes surrounding a landfill are routinely measured for methane content by percent volume. Subsurface pressure in inches of water column may be useful information. If the data collected during routine sampling of the exterior probes is used for design of an active landfill gas control system in the future, then the data will be referenced to atmospheric conditions. Only methane will be monitored for compliance. Interior testing routinely measures the methane content only. Monitoring for methane can be accomplished with acceptable accuracy with a portable combustible gas meter calibrated for methane. The meter will have a dual scale which reads either 0-5% methane or 0-100% methane. Accessories include line trap assemblies, sampling hoses, probe tube, spare filters, and spare aspirators or batteries. Instruments based upon infrared technology are recommended, such that methane concentrations are not biased in low-oxygen environments. Self-contained landfill gas monitoring and recording units such as the Gas Data LMSx or the Landtec GEM 2000 are also recommended. These units can also measure probe pressure. Subsurface pressure, if monitored, may be measured by a mechanical gauge. A meter that monitors pressure or a set of at least two gauges will be needed. The recommended pressure ranges are 0-1 inch of water column and 0-10 inches of water column. The gauges come with plastic sampling hoses and aluminum probes. Carrying cases will also be ordered. The gauges are fairly durable if handled properly and require little or no maintenance. Prior to sampling, monitoring instruments will be calibrated in the field according to manufacturer’s specifications to detect the following parameters: methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen. Calibration and span procedures shall be performed on the instrument using a canister that is within the range of expected methane levels. For example, if low levels of methane are expected, a 15 CO2/15 CH4 canister can be used for calibration. Should high methane levels be expected, a 35 CO2/50 CH4 canister can be used. Methane zeroing will be done using ambient air in an open area, while oxygen zeroing can be done using any zero-oxygen bottle. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 7 3.2 Sampling and Analysis Monitoring will be scheduled during a time when landfill gas is most likely to migrate. Gas migration is most likely when barometric pressure is low, or when soils are saturated with water. This typically includes: • Afternoon hours; • Frozen ground conditions • Snow-covered ground conditions • Snow-thaw conditions • When barometric pressure is low 3.2.1 Perimeter Monitoring The gas probes will be inspected upon arrival at each probe. Damaged probes will be repaired or replaced. In the event of settlement around the probe, the area will be regraded and a new concrete apron will be constructed. The meter will generally be used in accordance with the following procedure: 1. Prepare the Monitoring Data Form, included as Appendix 1 to the Gas Control Plan, Attachment IV-F to the Operations Report, with the required information of facility name, permit number, type and serial number of gas monitoring instrument, factory calibration date of the instrument, date of landfill gas monitoring event, name and position of sample collector, pump rate of instrument being used, ambient air temperature, and general weather conditions. 2. At the initial probe and all subsequent probes that are expected to have a significant difference in methane content from the previous probe, calibrate the meter with the calibration gases in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Record on the Monitoring Data Form the date and time of field calibration, type of gas used for field calibration (15/15 or 35/50), and expiration date of field calibration gas canister. 3. Purge the meter for a minimum of 60 seconds. Record purge time and verification of purge on the Monitoring Data Form. 4. Clean around the probe cap to keep dirt from entering the sample tubes. 5. Remove the probe cap. 6. Connect the meter to the probe to be measured. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 8 7. Pump until a steady state is reached. The reading should not vary by more than 0.5 percent by volume according to the instrument’s scale. 8. The meter will automatically record the concentrations of methane, oxygen, and other gases. Manually record methane, oxygen and carbon-dioxide concentrations and barometric pressure on the Monitoring Data Form. Should oxygen read higher than 2%, the reading may be faulty and will be verified with a second reading. 9. Disconnect the meter. Replace probe covers and caps and shut the valve, if applicable. 10. Purge the meter for a minimum of 60 seconds. Move to the next probe if applicable. 11. Repeat steps 2 - 10. After probes have been measured, measure the gas standards using the meter to verify that the calibrations have not drifted. Reports of readings which exceed the regulatory limits will be submitted to the Division upon detection. A copy of reports will be kept at the landfill or administrative offices in the official operating record. 3.2.2 Interior Monitoring Interior spaces will be monitored using the selected combustible-gas meter in accordance with the following procedures. When personnel are required to fully enter an area to be monitored, oxygen will be monitored prior to methane. If the oxygen content is less than 19.5 percent, the air is considered as oxygen deficient and could be harmful to human health and safety. Specific areas for interior testing are (as applicable per each structure): • sewer cleanouts • pipe penetrations of walls and floors • floor drains - floor grates • confined spaces beneath cabinets and counters • closets and cabinets (especially those near sewer lines) • closed rooms • building foundation vents • floor joints Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 9 • floor cracks • cracks • pump stations • manholes • valve vaults a. Oxygen Content Testing 1. Prepare the Monitoring Data Form, included as Appendix 1 to the Gas Control Plan, Attachment IV-F to the Operations Report, with the required information of facility name, permit number, type and serial number of gas monitoring instrument, factory calibration date of the instrument, date of landfill gas monitoring event, name and position of sample collector, pump rate of instrument being used, ambient air temperature, and general weather conditions. 2. Prepare the oxygen meter by calibrating to ambient air in an open space or outdoors. 3. At each location tested for methane above, test for oxygen content by inserting oxygen probe. 4. Pump and read meter after pointer has stabilized. The reading should not vary by more than 0.2 percent by volume according to the instrument’s scale. 5. Test for oxygen levels at approximately one foot above the floor and approximately five feet above the floor. 6. Record readings on Monitoring data Form. b. Methane Monitoring 1. At the initial structure and all subsequent structures that are expected to have a significant difference in methane content from the previous structure, calibrate the meter with the calibration gases in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Record on the Monitoring Data Form the date and time of field calibration, type of gas used for field calibration (15/15 or 35/50), and expiration date of field calibration gas canister. Set the meter to 0% on the 0-5% scale. Install the gas sampling hose and probe rod. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 10 2. Purge the meter for a minimum of 60 seconds. Record purge time and verification of purge on the Monitoring Data Form. 3. Enter the test area in a manner that minimizes the creation of air movements that can disperse methane. If sampling air in a closed space (such as a sewer clean-out), keep the cover closed as much as possible to reduce dispersal of the gas. 4. Place the probe in the area to be tested. Let the meter pointer stabilize and read the percent gas indicated. If the percent is over 5% remove the probe, switch to the 0-100% scale and repeat the reading. 5. The meter will automatically record the concentrations of methane, oxygen, and other gases. Manually record methane, oxygen and carbon-dioxide concentrations and barometric pressure on the Monitoring Data Form. 6. Remove the probe and repeat Steps 1 through 5 at the same location to obtain two readings. The readings should be duplicated within 1-2%. 7. Replace covers and caps, if applicable and move to the next structure. Repeat steps 1 - 7. If methane readings over 1.25% are recorded, the source will be investigated and the area ventilated. Readings of 5% or greater will be cause for immediate evacuation of the affected area. Begin ventilation immediately and begin a search for the source of the gas. Do not re-occupy until the gas levels are maintained below 1.25%. As a general rule, maintaining a good air flow in the building and good ventilation will help reduce potential gas buildup situations. In addition, areas which are usually closed off such as janitorial closets and equipment service areas can be helped with louvered doors and through-the-wall vents. High readings requiring evacuation or extra ventilation will be reported immediately. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 11 4.0 RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING 4.1 Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form A Monitoring Data Form is included as Appendix 1 to this Gas Control Plan. The form will be used any time that a probe is monitored for compliance. Completed forms will be kept on file at the facility. 4.2 Sampling Reports Reports on interior testing will be transmitted to the Solid Waste Division immediately upon completion. 4.3 Permanent Record Keeping The facility will have on file all interior testing reports as submitted to the Solid Waste Division. The file will include correspondence to and from the Division. The facility will have on file all well completion logs and well abandonment logs as submitted to the Solid Waste Division, including boring logs, diagrams, and scaled probe location maps showing probe location and elevation determined by a North Carolina Registered Land Surveyor, total depth, screened interval, and distance above the seasonal high water table. The file will include correspondence to and from the Division. At the time of closure of the landfill, records will be transferred to the administration office of the Orange County Solid Waste Management Department. Reporting to DENR Solid Waste Division and record keeping by the County will continue through post-closure. 5.0 CONTINGENCY PLAN The solid waste rules indicate that the landfill operator must take certain steps when the regulatory limits of gas concentration are reached. Those steps are as follows. a. Immediately take all steps necessary to protect human health and notify the Solid Waste Division. b. Within seven days of detection, place in the operating record the methane gas levels detected and a description of the steps taken to protect human health. c. Within 60 days of detection, implement a remediation plan for the methane gas releases, place a copy of the plan in the operating record, and notify the division that Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Operations Report Revised May 28, 2019 Attachment IV-F - 12 the plan has been implemented. The plan will describe the nature and extent of the problem and the proposed remediation. d. The Division may establish alternative schedules for demonstrating compliance. Waiting until the regulatory concentration limits occurs before taking action may accidentally place the site in non-compliance status. Consequently, the following interim action level is recommended. If the exterior probes read 1.25% gas for three consecutive months, the operator will make further investigation in the vicinity of the suspect probes. The investigation will determine if additional monitoring is needed or if active or passive gas control systems are needed. Should the investigation indicate a need for additional gas controls, the Solid Waste Division will be notified. A schedule for implementation will be established with the Division and implementation will take place according to that schedule. 6.0 PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER OR GEOLOGIST CERTIFICATION A North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer must be present to supervise the installation of all landfill gas monitoring wells. Installation and abandonment of any gas probes must be certified by a North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer. This Gas Control Plan and any revisions or amendments to it must be certified by a North Carolina Professional Geologist or Professional Engineer. The Professional Certification Statement is included as Appendix 2 to this Gas Control Plan. 7.0 REGISTERED LAND SURVEYOR CERTIFICATION The boring logs and/or well diagrams that are to be submitted to the Solid Waste Section following well construction must be signed and sealed with the stamp of a North Carolina Registered Land Surveyor.

Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-1 1.0 INTRODUCTION The narrative, plans, and specifications for the Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill are prepared in compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rule .0543. This plan supersedes the plan prepared by Joyce Engineering, Inc. (JEI) dated May 2003 that was included in the “Construction Plan Application for the Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill”. The drawings, appendices, tables and figures from the “Construction Plan Application” should be considered incorporated by reference as part of this closure and post-closure plan. The facility operates under Permit 68-04. A permit to operate Phase 1 of the facility was issued on December 14, 2005 by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), which is now called the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). This plan addresses the closure and post-closure care of Phases 1 through 3 of the facility. Phase 1 covers approximately 7.7 acres. Phases 2 and 3 are projected future phases, approximately 4.9 acres in size. Phases 4 and 5 will be a vertical extension of Phases 1 through 3. Execution of this plan will minimize maintenance through proper construction of a permanent cap, erosion and sediment control features, and drainage features, which will reduce the potential of the landfill becoming a hazard to the environment through the post-closure period. These documents were prepared by Draper Aden Associates pursuant to a contract between Draper Aden Associates and Orange County with respect to the project described in said contract. Reuse of said documents without written verification or adaptation by Draper Aden Associates for the specific purpose intended will be at the sole risk of the individual or entity utilizing said document, drawings, specifications, reports, and studies and such use is without the authorization of Draper Aden Associates. Draper Aden Associates shall have no legal liability resulting from any and all claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including attorney's fees arising out of the unauthorized use of these documents, drawings, specifications, reports and studies prepared as a result of the aforesaid contract. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-2 2.0 CLOSURE PLANS 2.1 CAP SYSTEM 2.1.1 Cap Components The closure cap shall consist of the following components to be placed above the intermediate/weekly cover: 1. Geocomposite gas collection layer 2. Eighteen (18) inch soil infiltration barrier layer. 3. Twelve (12) inch erosion/vegetation support layer. 4. Minimum six (6) inch layer of top soil. 2.1.2 Closure Activities Closure activities will consist of the following actions: 1. Placement and/or upgrading final drainage and erosion/sedimentation control measures prior to and during construction activities; 2. Placement and compaction of intermediate cover soil in order to achieve required slopes; 3. Final grading and placement of geocomposite gas collection layer, soil infiltration layer, erosion/vegetative support layer, and topsoil; 4. Surface roughening, liming, fertilizing, seeding and mulching of disturbed areas; 5. Placement and/or upgrading final drainage and erosion/sedimentation control measures; 6. Preparing a construction quality assurance report to certify that closure occurred in accordance with this closure plan; 7. Recording a notation on the deed to the landfill facility property that the property has been used as a C&D landfill and its use is restricted under the closure plan approved by NCDEQ. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-3 Specifications for the construction activities are contained in Attachment II-B of the Engineering Plan . 2.1.3 Closure of Disposal Units The Permit Amendment Drawings illustrate the proposed closure activities and the following discussion describes these actions. 1. Plan Sheets Final grading of the site will be in accordance with the contours indicated on Drawing 6 (Phase 1 – Final Grading Plan) in the Construction Plan Application. The landfill will be brought to the final grades shown using the appropriate landfilling methods. The final cap and vegetative layer will be installed after the final grades are reached. Stockpiled earthen material previously used for various construction activities may be used during final closure. Topsoil stripped from the intermediate cover will be stockpiled for use during final closure. Topsoil stripped from the intermediate layer shall not reduce the thickness of the intermediate layer below 12 inches. The stockpiles will be graded so as to minimize erosion and prevent ponding of water on site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be installed and properly maintained. The side slopes of the closed landfill will be approximately 28.6 percent (3.5:1). Positive drainage will be maintained at the top of the landfill to reduce pooling of water on the fill. The minimum top slope is to be 5 percent after construction. This minimum top slope will be maintained during the post-closure period. Diversion berms will be installed on top of the soil cap cushion layer to decrease the slope length for stormwater runoff. The exterior slopes of the diversion berms will exceed 33 percent. Slope drains will convey stormwater to the perimeter ditches. On the flatter top and bottom slopes, positive drainage will be maintained to reduce pooling of water on the fill. If necessary, erosion control matting may be installed along the slopes of the landfill to reduce erosion after final grading. Localized areas exceeding a 33 percent slope such as the outer slopes of the diversion berms or road tie-ins will receive further erosion control measures as necessary to reduce erosion. The layers of the final cover will be placed in accordance with the plans and specifications. The specifications and the Construction Quality Assurance Manual contain information for quality control and quality assurance for the final cover construction. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-4 2. Cap Description Rule .0543 (c)(1) requires that the cap has “a permeability less than or equal to soils underlying the landfill, or the permeability specified for the final cover in the effective permit, or a permeability no greater than 1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec, whichever is less.” As a part of the Site Plan Application submitted by Joyce Engineering, Inc. dated October 1999 and amended September 12, 2002, slug testing data was obtained. Laboratory testing results are included in Attachment V-3 to this plan along with a map that indicates the location of testing points. Based on the borings beneath the landfill (PZ-207 and PZ-208), the soil foundation has a permeability ranging from 1.89 x 10-4 cm/sec to 5.79 x 10-4 cm/sec. Undisturbed soil samples were not collected and tested for permeability. Based on this information, the soils underlying the landfill have permeabilities greater than 1 x 10-5 cm/sec. Therefore, the cap should have a permeability of no greater than 1 x 10-5 cm/sec. a. Description of Layers The final cover for the landfill will consist of the system shown on the details on Sheet 8 of the Permit Amendment Drawings. The total overall thickness of the cap will be three feet, exclusive of the intermediate/weekly cover. The intermediate/weekly cover immediately underlying the geocomposite drainage net shall be a minimum of 12 inches in thickness as measured perpendicularly to the slope. This layer shall be smooth and free of protruding rocks, sticks, roots, etc. The cover will include the following from bottom to top: (i) Geocomposite gas collection medium. This layer consists of an HDPE geonet material with a nonwoven geotextile on each side. The geocomposite material will allow for landfill gas to travel more freely below the infiltration barrier and to landfill gas vents. (ii) Eighteen (18) inch soil infiltration barrier layer. This layer will be off-site soil, placed and compacted to have a permeability of 1 x 10-5 centimeters per second (cm/sec) or less. (iii) Twelve (12) inch soil erosion/vegetative support layer. This layer will be off-site soil. The twelve-inch cushion will protect the infiltration barrier layer from mechanical damage from vehicles on the cover, from burrowing animals, from taproots, and from freeze-thaw stresses. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-5 (iv) Minimum six (6) inch layer of topsoil or organically amended soil. This layer will be off-site soil. The layer will support vegetated growth to stabilize the completed landfill slopes. b. Description of Protective Materials The cap will be placed on top of the intermediate cover in order to provide a base to compact the infiltration barrier layer soil. Prior to placement of the cap, the vegetative cover that has been established on the intermediate soil will be stripped. The infiltration barrier layer will be protected above from punctures, mechanical damage, and freeze-thaw damage by the twelve (12) inch erosion/vegetation support layer and a six (6) inch topsoil or amended soil layer. c. Soil Cap Construction Plan The cap will be constructed in accordance with the specifications and tested in accordance with the Construction Quality Assurance Manual. The soil for the soil infiltration barrier layer (permeability less than or equal to 1 x 10-5 cm/sec) will come from an off-site borrow source approved by the CQA Engineer. The location of the borrow source, the location of the samples taken to determine the suitability of the material, and the soil characteristics will be documented. The documentation will be submitted to NCDEQ as part of the certification of closure. Soil infiltration barrier layer material will be placed on prepared intermediate/weekly cover. Surface preparation will consist of removal of vegetation and smooth grading to fill in ruts and rills, and may consist of removal of roots, stones, and foreign matter, and rolling to provide a compacted surface. Soil infiltration barrier layer material will be placed in no greater than six (6) inch thick compacted lifts. The actual allowable lift thicknesses will be determined during construction of a cap test pad. The material will be compacted to a density and moisture content determined by laboratory testing and verified by the test pad to achieve a minimum permeability of 1 x 10-5 cm/sec or less. The lifts will be compacted to break up clods, bond lifts together, and eliminate cracks during placement. If cracks are observed once the material is placed, that area will be reworked and retested. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-6 Particular care will be taken in the placement of the erosion/vegetation support layer material to reduce damage to the cap. The soil will be discharged from trucks at the base or top of the slope, and the material pushed onto the slope. Layers of the final cover will be placed in accordance with the specifications and Construction Quality Assurance Manual. The specifications also contain detailed information for quality control and for the final cover construction. d. Erosion Control Layer The topsoil layer will be a minimum of six (6) inches of topsoil or amended soil, vegetated with an approved seeding mixture depending upon the time of year when seeded. The cover crop will be seeded in accordance with the mixture specified in Section 02480. The facility may modify the seed mixture or seed schedule. 3. Final Slopes The side slopes of the closed landfill will be a maximum of 28.6 percent (3.5:1). Berms will be installed on the slopes to decrease drainage lengths. Positive drainage will be maintained at the top of the landfill to reduce pooling of water on the fill. A minimum top slope of 5 percent will be maintained during the post-closure period. If necessary, erosion control matting may be installed along the slopes of the landfill to reduce erosion after final grading. 4. Maintenance Needs The cover system will be graded and seeded to establish a low maintenance final cover system. Slopes should require infrequent repairs of erosion problems once the vegetative cover is established. Covers that are low maintenance will be used, such as tall fescue, lespedeza, ryegrass or other approved seeding mixture. While the vegetative cover is being established, erosion will be controlled by mulch. Erosion control matting will be installed where required. 5. Construction Quality Assurance Plan The Construction Quality Assurance Plan is included as a Section III in this Permit Amendment Application. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-7 6. Alternate Final Cover Systems An alternate final cover system is not proposed for use at this facility at this time. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-8 2.1.4 Cover System Stability 1. Stability of Final Cover System To evaluate slope veneer stability, an “infinite slope” failure was considered. The friction angles between components in the landfill cap were evaluated against the slopes with maximum gradient. The maximum slope is 28.6 percent, or about 15.9 degrees. The maximum slope is compared to angles of friction between various components of the cap, and internal friction angles of each applicable component. The following table lists the angles of friction and factors of safety for each component. The friction angles used are conservative values found in published data or from engineering judgment. Testing requirements for internal friction angles of soils are described in the CQA Manual and include a minimum factor of safety of 1.3. Testing requirements for interface friction angles between soils and geocomposite are specified in Attachment II-B of the Engineering Plan, and include a minimum factor of safety of 1.5. Interface Friction Angles Interface Friction Angle, Degrees Factor of Safety Waste internal angle of friction 30 1.9 Waste to intermediate cover 28 1.8 Intermediate cover internal angle of friction 30 1.9 Intermediate cover to geocomposite 28 1.8 Geocomposite to infiltration barrier soil 28 1.8 Infiltration barrier soil internal angle of friction 30 1.9 Infiltration barrier soil to erosion/support layer 28 1.8 Erosion support layer internal angle of friction 28 1.8 Erosion support layer to topsoil 26 1.6 Topsoil internal angle of friction 26 1.6 The previously permitted maximum slope was 4H:1V. Because an increase in final slope is proposed, a slip-circle analysis has been performed and is included as Attachment V-4 to this plan. A profile was selected for modeling that runs through the maximum fill height and presents the greatest height versus shortest base section). Soil parameters were selected based on general soil types anticipated for use. These parameters are as follows. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-9 Slip Circle Analysis Parameters Earthquake acceleration factors of 0.16g (horizontal) and 0.08g (vertical) are based on 2008 USGS earthquake hazard maps. The section was modeled using StablPro V3.0 using waste cohesions of both 0 psf, and 500 psf. Because cohesion of waste can vary greatly, the analysis using a cohesion of 0 psf was done in order to analyze the degree that the cohesion affected the results. A cohesion of 500 psf is more accurate, and its results should be used in evaluating slope stability. The model using a waste cohesion of 500 psf exhibited a minimum factor of safety in the analysis of 1.20 under seismic conditions for deep-seated rotational failure within the waste mass. Under static conditions, the factor of safety is 2.16. The acceptable factor of safety for static analysis is 1.5. It is likely that localized rotational failure within the cover veneer will have a lower factor of safety than deep-seated failure. However, failure in localized areas of the cover will be considered a maintenance item and will be repaired promptly. The acceptable factor of safety for seismic analysis is 1.0. Based on this analysis, it can be concluded that the design is stable. 2. Erosion Control An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan was prepared by JEI and included in the Construction Plan Application. The side slopes of the closed landfill will be a maximum of 28.6% (3.5:1). Since regular maintenance will be a part of the post- closure activities, the integrity of the cap system should remain intact during the post-closure care period. Temporary silt fencing will be installed as required during the closure construction. Erosion control matting may be used on the face of the disposal unit after final grades have been established. The County will determine the need for the matting at the time of seeding. Permanent diversion berms will be used to reduce erosion on the slopes of the landfill. The diversion berms will be placed to keep the overland flow from exceeding 200 feet, with most slope lengths less than 150 feet. The diversion berms empty into channels around the perimeter of the landfill. The channels will carry flow to the sediment basin. Diversion berm channels are to be lined with Layer Cohesion, psf Unit Weight, pcf Internal Angle of Friction Cap 1000 120 30 Waste 500 55 30 Underlying Soil 1000 120 26 Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-10 soil stabilization matting; perimeter channels will be either grass/matting or riprap/erosion control matting as appropriate. Stormwater will be collected in channels around the perimeter of the landfill. The channels will carry runoff to the sediment basin. Channel design data is included on Sheet 8 of the Permit Amendment Drawings. Some channels are to be grass lined. Riprap or erosion control matting will be used in channels wherever the velocity of the runoff would erode vegetative linings. Remnants of temporary erosion control measures, such as siltation fences, that will not be necessary once the site is stabilized will be removed. 2.1.5 Construction Specifications Construction specifications for components of the landfill cap are included in Attachment II-B of the Engineering Plan. 2.1.6 Landfill Gas Management Due to methane concentrations above the lower explosive limit (LEL) being detected in various probes, a landfill gas interception trench has been installed at the facility. Initially, methane concentrations in GP-CD4 through GP-CD8, and GP-CD13 exceeded the LEL. During additional investigation of landfill gas migration limits, monitoring of newly-constructed probes GP-CD6R and GP-CD8R indicated the presence of methane, with GP-CD5R in exceedance of the LEL. Through the installation and monitoring of probes GP-14 through GP-18 and a subsequent landfill gas migration study, a landfill gas interception trench was designed along the western perimeter of the waste disposal area. This trench was installed since the 2012 Permit Modification submittal and approval. The location of trenching and vents are shown on the Permit Amendment Drawings. The “Landfill Gas Remediation Plan” developed by Draper Aden Associates, dated December 16, 2009 contains additional background information regarding the landfill gas interception trench. This plan is included in Attachment 5. Landfill gas monitoring probes have been constructed around the perimeter of the landfill unit. The Permit Amendment Drawings show the location of the probes as well as a gas probe construction detail. Specification Section 13322 is included in Attachment II-B of the Engineering Plan. A landfill gas venting system will be installed at the time of closure. The system includes landfill gas vents within the waste footprint and a landfill gas collection layer below the low-permeability component of the landfill cap. Gas vent locations are shown on Sheet 6 of the Permit Amendment Drawings. The gas venting system is described in the Gas Control Plan included as Attachment IV-F to the Operations Report. Additional venting may be necessary as determined in accordance with the Gas Control Plan. A landfill gas vent detail, to be used for future gas vent construction, is included in the Permit Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-11 Amendment Drawings. Specification Section 13320 is included in Attachment II-B of the Engineering Plan. Passive landfill gas vents will consist of six (6) inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe installed within a horizontal gas collection trench/pit located below the final cover. The trench/pit will be approximately 8 feet by 8 feet in horizontal dimensions and approximately 3 feet in thickness. Waste will be excavated from the trench area, a 6 ounce geotextile will be laid in the pit/trench and wrapped up the sides, and a lift of stone bedding will be placed in the bottom of the trench/pit. The geotextile will help to separate the waste from the newly added stone. Horizontal perforated piping will be installed as shown on the detail on Sheet 8 of the Permit Amendment Drawings. Vertical vent piping will be installed at each vent location. The remaining gravel pack shall be installed carefully so as to avoid damaging the piping. The gravel pack will provide a uniform blanket of stone around the central vent piping. Layers above the vent trench/pit will be installed identical to the landfill cap design around the vent. The top of the vent shall be capped as shown in the plans. Additional information is included in Specification Section 13320 in the Engineering Plan. 2.1.7 Leachate Management The landfill does not have a leachate collection system. If leachate control is needed, the County will submit a plan to NCDEQ for review and approval prior to implementation of control. 2.2 EXTENT OF CLOSURE The footprint of each Phase with projected intermediate and final grades is shown on Sheets 3 through 6 of the Permit Amendment Drawings. The surface area of Phase 1 is 7.7 acres. The surface area of Phases 2 and 3 is 4.9 acres. The Closure and Post-Closure cost estimates included in Attachment 2 of this Plan are for Phase 1 only. 2.3 MAXIMUM INVENTORY OF WASTE The volumes of each phase in cubic yards and estimated tons are as follows: Phase Capacity (cubic yards) Net Remaining Airspace (cubic yards) Phase Capacity (tons) Phase 1 (active) 282,000 74,800 152,000 Phases 2 & 3 257,000 257,000 139,000 Phases 4 & 5 189,000 189,000 102,000 Final Cover 62,000 62,000 100,000 Total (Gross Capacity) 790,000 582,000 493,000 Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-12 Phase capacities shown do not include final cover. The gross capacity of the landfill is 790,000 cubic yards, which includes the volume of the final cap system. This gross capacity is a 1.9 percent increase from the previously permitted gross capacity of the landfill, specified in the Site Plan Application prepared for this facility by Joyce Engineering, Inc. dated October 1999 and amended September 12, 2002. Conversion to tonnage assumes a 9:1 waste to soil ratio and a waste compaction of 1,200 pounds per cubic yard. Final cover tonnage is based on a compacted soil density of 120 pounds per cubic foot, or 3,240 pounds per cubic yard. The tonnage numbers will vary depending upon soil cover use and waste compaction. Net remaining airspace is from the March 2017 aerial mapping. 2.4 CLOSURE SCHEDULE 2.4.1 Closure Time Frame Prior to the closure of each phase, Orange County will notify NCDEQ that a notice of intent to close has been placed in the operating record. The owner and operator must begin closure activities for that portion of each C&D landfill unit meeting one or more of the following requirements, unless an extension has been granted by the Division. Extensions beyond the deadline for beginning closure may be granted by the Division if the owner or operator demonstrates that the portion of the C&D landfill unit has the capacity to receive additional wastes and the owner and operator has taken and will continue to take all steps necessary to prevent threats to human health and the environment from the unclosed C&D landfill unit: a. No later than thirty (30) days after the date on which the C&D landfill unit receives the known final receipt of wastes; b. No later than thirty (30) days after the date that a 10-acre or greater area of waste is within 15 feet of final design grades; or c. No later than one (1) year after the most recent receipt of wastes, if the C&D landfill unit has remaining capacity. Final closure of the landfill will take approximately 6 months to complete. A professional engineer representing the facility will provide NCDEQ with certification of closure. 2.4.2 Schedule for Closure The estimated time for the closure activities may generally be summarized as follows. The time schedule is shown pertaining to final receipt of waste. a. Notice of intent to close to NCDEQ ..................................... prior to closure b.

The estimate reflects closure of the initial phase (Phase 1). Approximately 7.7 acres of landfill area (Phase 1) will be capped at this point, if the facility does not obtain approval to expand into Phases 2 and 3. 2.6 CLOSURE CERTIFICATION Following completion of the cap, a professional engineer representing the facility will certify the closure. The certification will document that the closure of the landfill was in accordance with the following: • The CQA Plan. • The conditions of the permit to construct. • The requirements of NCAC Rule .0541. • The requirements of NCAC Rule .0543. • The approved closure plan • Acceptable engineering practices. The Construction Quality Assurance report must be prepared according to Rule .0541(c) and (d) and submitted to NCDEQ with the closure certification and shall include the following: • Quality control testing results, including results of failed tests, a description of corrective procedures in the case of failed testing, and results of retesting. • As-built drawings noting any deviation from the approved engineering plans. • A comprehensive narrative that includes daily reports from the QAE, color photographs of major features, and documentation of progress and troubleshooting meetings. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-14 2.7 RECORDATION In order to comply with NCAC Rule .0543(c)(8)(B), within 3 months after capping activities are completed, the facility will record a notation on the deed to the facility property that would notify a potential purchaser of the property that the land was used as a C&D facility and its use is restricted under the closure plan approved by the Division. The document will be recorded with Orange County and copies submitted to NCDEQ. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-15 3.0 POST-CLOSURE PLAN 3.1 POST-CLOSURE CONTACT Agency: Orange County Person: Mr. Robert Williams, Solid Waste Management Director Address: P. O. Box 17177 Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27516 Phone: (919) 968-2788 3.2 INSPECTION After the initial closure construction ceases, maintenance and care for the property will be needed to provide the necessary erosion control and site upkeep. Monitoring activities will continue for a period of 30 years after closure of the landfill. Orange County will be responsible for routine monitoring of the closed facility. Such monitoring includes not only the ground and surface water monitoring but also periodic visual inspections to review the condition of the vegetative cover and grading. In addition, inspections will also be made to check for leachate seeps or other problems. If major problems are identified that could affect the health or welfare of the adjacent property owners, NCDEQ will be contacted. However, for routine maintenance, the work required will be completed without notification to NCDEQ. An inspection program will be established that will inspect the vegetative cover, erosion control measures, and other physical aspects of the site. Initially, these inspections will be made on a monthly basis, or more frequently as necessary by Orange County. For the remainder of the normal post closure period, the site will be inspected quarterly by the County. The County will keep a log of inspections and resulting maintenance work on file. Post-closure maintenance will include a program of mowing of the grass cover as necessary. This will be done to improve the stand of grass being developed on the landfill cap. During the normal post-closure period, the site will be mowed as needed to maintain the grass cover. It is expected that the frequency of mowing will diminish as the cover becomes better established. In addition to the mowing operations, post-closure care activities will include a program of annual reseeding. In the fall of the year, the vegetative cover will be evaluated during a regular inspection. A plan for reseeding will be developed based on the needs of the site during that year. The necessary seeding will be applied during the fall planting season. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-16 Two inspection forms have been prepared for use in the post-closure period. One form is for the first two-year post-closure period and the second form is for the remainder of post-closure inspection. The forms are included as Attachment 1 of this plan, Post Closure Inspection Report Forms. The following post-closure inspection and maintenance schedule is suggested for the site but could be modified as experience dictates: 1. Initial Two Years of Post-Closure a. Monthly, a complete inspection of the site will be made by the County to include, but not be limited to, security control devices, erosion damage, cover settlement, subsidence and displacement, leachate seeps, vegetative cover, run-on and run-off control measures, landfill gas probes, and groundwater monitoring wells. Repairs shall be made as necessary. b. Annually, or more frequently if necessary, mow the site. Annually, reseed areas as necessary. 2. After First Two Years of Closure a. Monthly, inspect the security gate, lock, fencing and other barriers. b. Quarterly, a complete inspection of the site will be made by Orange County and repairs made as necessary. The inspection will include, but not be limited to, security control devices, erosion damage, cover settlement, subsidence and displacement, leachate seeps, vegetative cover, run-on and runoff control measures, landfill gas probes, and groundwater monitoring wells. c. Annually, or more frequently if necessary, mow the site. Fertilize, lime and reseed as necessary. 3.3 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 3.3.1 Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring A Groundwater Monitoring Plan is included as Attachment IV-E to the Operations Report. The plan represents the controlling document for obtaining and analyzing representative groundwater samples from the uppermost aquifer underlying the existing facility. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-17 The compliance well network is described in the water quality monitoring plan. Sampling and reporting must occur at least semi-annually. Analytical requirements, including a list of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), are included in the water quality monitoring plan. Water quality monitoring will continue through the post-closure period. Maintenance of the groundwater monitoring system will include quarterly inspections. Signs of damage or contamination will be recorded. Minor damages will be repaired promptly. If a major damage or contamination is suspected, a professional geologist will be retained to evaluate the condition of the monitoring well. If the well must be replaced, the old well will be abandoned in accordance with the specifications contained in the water quality monitoring plan. New well construction will also be in accordance with the detail and specifications contained in the plan. During monitoring and maintenance activities, the wells shall be inspected. The inspection should review the well casing, the lock, the identification tag, the concrete pad surrounding the casing and any bollards that are installed to protect the well casing. Any deficiencies should be noted and brought to the attention of the landfill supervisor. Corrective actions should be taken to repair any noted issues. 3.3.2 Landfill Gas Monitoring A series of landfill gas monitoring probes are located around the perimeter of the landfill unit. These probes will be monitored during the active life of the landfill and during the post-closure care period. A Gas Control Plan is included as Attachment IV-F to the Operations Report. During monitoring and maintenance activities, the probes shall be inspected. The inspection should review the outer casing, the lock (if so equipped), the identification tag or label, the concrete pad surrounding the casing and any bollards that are installed to protect the probe casing. Any deficiencies should be noted and brought to the attention of the landfill supervisor. Corrective actions should be taken to repair any noted issues. 3.4 MAINTENANCE Post-closure maintenance will consist of the following preventive and corrective maintenance activities: 3.4.1. Security Control Devices No waste is to remain exposed after closure. Locked gates and fencing will block the entrances. The remaining property boundaries have wooded buffers or other natural obstructions. Orange County will be able to closely monitor the closed landfill through routine inspections by Orange County personnel. If security does become a problem, Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-18 additional fencing and/or other access preventing measures will be installed where necessary. 3.4.2. Erosion Damage Control The landfill will be inspected at least quarterly, and after every major storm event for signs of erosion damage. Areas to be inspected will include the landfill slopes, diversion ditches, sediment basins, access roads, and culverts. Erosion gullies will be filled, compacted, and reseeded. Ditches and culverts filled with sediment will be cleaned as needed. The sediment basin will be cleaned as required. Damage to berms, slope drains, or access roads will be repaired promptly. Additional erosion control measures will be installed if the proposed measures prove to be inadequate. Access roads/paths to monitoring locations must be of all-weather construction and maintained in good condition. 3.4.3. Correction of Settlement, Subsidence and Displacement The landfill cover will be inspected quarterly. It is not expected that major portions of the landfill will be subject to excessive settlement. However, if areas appear to have settled to create ponding of stormwater, the cap will be repaired. Small areas of ponding will be filled with soil to promote positive drainage. The final surface will be seeded and mulched. The side slopes of the closed landfill will generally not exceed 28.6 percent (3.5:1). On the flatter top slopes, positive drainage will be maintained to reduce ponding of water on the fill. Erosion control matting will be placed, as needed, along the slopes of the landfill to reduce erosion after final grading. The minimum top slope is to be 5 percent after construction. This minimum top slope will be maintained during the post-closure period. 3.4.4. Run-on and Runoff Control Structures Erosion and sediment control devices will be inspected at least quarterly, as discussed in 3.4.2. above. 3.4.5. Leachate Collection System The landfill does not have a leachate collection system. However, every landfill will experience leachate seeps at one time or another. During facility inspections, the landfill operator should observe the side slopes and note any areas where there is dead vegetation, excessively green vegetation, wet areas while the surrounding area is dry, the presence of flies and other vectors, and areas where there is a leachate odor. The occurrence of one or any number of these issues, to name the most common, are indicators of a possible leachate seep. Seeps should be investigated and remediated appropriately. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-19 Remediation may require the landfill operator to excavate the area of the seep to determine why the leachate has migrated to the area of the seep. Addressing leachate seeps is typically best addressed by the operator that has been working in the landfill. The operator will have knowledge of how the cell was constructed and what confining layer or possible highly porous layer may have been placed that could be contributing to the leachate seeping in that area. Remedies may be as simple as adding additional soil to the outer slope to push the leachate back into the waste, or more complex such as excavating out waste in the area and penetrating through the layer contributing to the leachate moving horizontally. Poking through that layer may facilitate the vertical movement of the leachate to the waste mass below and may alleviate the side slope seeps. The operator should also inspect the slope and top areas above the seep to check for areas of settlement. Low areas that can trap runoff can contribute to the increase generation of leachate, and removing such low spots may correct the problem, or prevent one from happening in the future. 3.4.6. Landfill Gas Collection/Venting System A landfill gas interception trench is located along the western perimeter of the waste disposal area. Section 2.1.6 above describes the background on the interception trench. The “Landfill Gas Remediation Plan” developed by Draper Aden Associates dated December 16, 2009 contains additional background information, plans and specifications for the interception trench. Landfill gas vents will be installed within the waste mass at the time of closure, and if monitoring results determine that additional passive venting of gas from the waste is needed. Should the interception trench remain in use through the active life of the facility, collection/venting components will be inspected quarterly. 3.4.7. Groundwater Monitoring Wells Groundwater monitoring wells will be inspected quarterly. Signs of damage or contamination will be recorded. Minor damages will be repaired promptly. If major damage or contamination is suspected, a professional geologist will be retained to evaluate the condition of the monitoring well. If the well must be replaced, the old well will be abandoned in accordance with the specifications contained in the water quality monitoring plan. New well construction will be in accordance with the detail and specifications contained in the water quality monitoring plan. 3.5 LEACHATE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS This facility does not have a leachate collection system. 3.6 POST-CLOSURE CERTIFICATION Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-20 Following completion of the post-closure care period, the facility will notify the Solid Waste Division of NCDEQ that a certification, signed by a registered professional engineer, verifying that post-closure care has been completed in accordance with the post-closure plan, has been placed in the operating record. 3.7 POST-CLOSURE USES The site is planned for use as an open green space during and after the post-closure care period. This site will not be open or accessible to the public. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Permit Amendment - Closure and Post-Closure Plan Revised May 28, 2019 Page V-21 4.0 CLOSURE AND POST-CLOSURE CARE COST ESTIMATES 4.1 CLOSURE COSTS The closure cost estimate for the facility is included as Attachment 2 of this Plan, Closure and Post-Closure Cost Estimates. Closure costs were estimated for a third party to perform closure of the 7.7-acre Phase 1 area. The estimate covers Phase 1, and Phase 2 & 3 areas. The estimates will be revised when Phases 4 and 5 are constructed. 4.2 POST-CLOSURE CARE COSTS The estimated post-closure cost for the facility is included as Attachment 2 of this Plan, Closure and Post-Closure Cost Estimates. Post-closure costs were estimated for closure of the Phase 1 area. At that time, approximately 7.7 acres of the landfill will require post-closure activities. Post closure care costs assume a 30-year post-closure care period. 4.3 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE Orange County must provide financial assurance (FA) for the closure and post-closure care at this facility. Per N.C.G.S. 130A-295.2(h1), the County shall provide FA of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) in costs for potential assessment and corrective action (PACA) at the facility. The County updates the FA annually as required by the State. The updated FA shall take into account the annual adjustment factor as determined by NCDEQ or shall be based upon an updated and approved cost estimate. Closure and Post-Closure Care Costs have been prepared for this facility and are included in Attachment 2 of this Plan, Closure and Post-Closure Cost Estimates. Orange County will provide the mechanism for financial assurance separate from this document.

Evidence of migration is present along the western boundary and in the vicinity of GP-CD13 on the northeastern boundary of the C&D landfill. As the following discussion will indicate, landfill gas migration was detected in the vicinity of existing gas monitoring probes GP- CD4 through GP-CD8, and GP-CD 13. Methane concentrations in GP-CD4 through GP- CD8 and GP-CD13 have exceeded the compliance limit. This remediation plan outlines the activities proposed by Orange County to bring the Eubanks Road C&D Landfill into compliance. 1.2 Background Information 1.2.1 Facility Information The Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill, Permit No. 68-04, is located approximately 5 miles north of Chapel Hill on Eubanks Road. The landfill is owned by Orange County. A permit to operate Phase 1 of the facility was issued on December 14, 2005 by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Conceptual plans for the landfill indicate three phases. Phase 1 covers approximately 7.7 acres. Phase 2 is a projected future phase, approximately 4.6 acres in size. Phase 3 will be a vertical extension of Phases 1 and 2. Prior to permitting the landfill, the County entered into an agreement with Duke University establishing a legal easement of a 200-foot buffer from the northern and western County property lines. The Deed of Easement with Warranty of Ownership was included in the approved Construction Plan Application for the C&D landfill. In Section II of the Easement, Reserved Uses and Restricted Activities, Item E includes the statement “There shall be no grading, filling, excavation, mining or drilling: no removal of top soil, sand, gravel, rock, peat, minerals, or other materials; provided, however, wells prescribed by the Solid Waste Section for monitoring of the County landfill shall be permitted within the boundaries of the Easement Property.” The landfill gas probes that are included in the proposed compliance network are shown on Sheet 1 in Appendix 1. Also shown on Sheet 1 are landfill gas probes that are not part of the compliance network. Landfill gas monitoring probes GP- CD1 through GP-CD13 were installed on January 26 and 27, 2009 within the landfill property boundary as shown on Sheet 1 in Appendix 1. Due to Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Gas Remediation Plan December 16, 2009 Page 2 compliance limit exceedances for methane in GP-CD4 through GP-CD8, replacement probes GP-CD4R through GP-CD8R were installed in mid-March 2009, also within the landfill property. To further delineate the extent of the gas migration, probes GP-CD14 through GP-CD17 were installed in April 2009 within the Duke Easement. Probe GP-CD18 was also installed in April 2009 within the landfill property boundary in order to delineate gas migration between GP-CD5R and the nearest residence, located across Eubanks Road. In October 2009, probes GP-CD13R and GP-CD19 were installed within the landfill property boundary. 1.2.2 Regional Physical Setting General physical conditions that characterize the landfill and surrounding areas are summarized in this section. Such conditions include physiography, geologic setting, hydrogeologic setting, and larger scale hydrogeologic influences. 1.2.2.1 Regional Physiographic Setting The landfill is located in Region J of the North Carolina Geological Survey, which is located in the eastern portion of the Piedmont geologic province. Region J is comprised of six counties: Durham, Orange, Wake, Johnston, Chatham, Lee. The far eastern portion of Region J extends onto the Coastal Plain geologic province. 1.2.2.2 Regional Soil Series Soils in Region J are typically dominated by three associations: Georgeville-Herndon Association, which are well-drained, silty soils. Lignum-Iredell-Herndon Association, which are well-drained to moderately well-drained, primarily clayey subsoils with loamy surface soils. Helena-Appling Association, which are well-drained to moderately well-drained, clayey soils. 1.2.2.3 Regional Geologic Setting Most of Orange County, including the subject landfill area, is located within the Carolina Slate Belt, which is a large scale geologic terrain comprised of metavolcanic, metasedimentary and plutonic rock. Structurally, the terrain is characterized by relatively open to tightly closed, northeast-trending folds. Faults are common. To the east, the Slate Belt is bounded by sedimentary rocks of Triassic age, which outcrop in the extreme southeastern corner of Orange County. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Gas Remediation Plan December 16, 2009 Page 3 The Geologic Map of Orange County, North Carolina indicates that the landfill area is immediately underlain by volcaniclastic epiclastic rocks (possibly Paleozoic in age; labeled as Unit III) and dacitic to rhyolitic rocks (possibly Paleozoic in age; labeled as Unit IV). The closest intrusive body (igneous: granite) is approximately one-half mile to the south. The nearest dike (probably Triassic in age, basalt or diabase) is located to the east, approximately 3.5 miles from the landfill. 1.2.3 Regional Hydrogeologic Setting 1.2.3.1 Aquifer Hydraulic Conductivity Joyce Engineering, Inc. personnel previously conducted slug tests on piezometers and groundwater monitoring wells. The test results found that the conductivities of several piezometers screened within bedrock at the landfill ranged from 1.89 x 10-4 m/sec (PZ-208) to 9.27 x 10-6 m/sec (MW-210). An excerpt from the Joyce Engineering, Inc. slug test data can be found in Appendix 2. 1.2.3.2 Groundwater Flow Rate and Direction A groundwater flow rate study was performed for the adjacent MSW landfill. The closed MSW landfill is located northeast of the C&D landfill, while the active portion of the MSW landfill is southeast of the C&D landfill. Using historic static water elevation (SWE) data, the average seepage velocity values were calculated for several flow paths. Groundwater flow has ranged from 3 meters per year to 21 meters per year. In addition, it was found that the groundwater flows generally from west to east beneath the landfill property. 1.3 Compliance Network and History 1.3.1 Landfill Gas Compliance Network The following probes make up the current compliance network: GP-CD1 through GP-CD13. The proposed compliance network will consist of the following: GP-CD1 GP-CD9 GP-CD2 GP-CD10 GP-CD3 GP-CD11 Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Gas Remediation Plan December 16, 2009 Page 4 GP-CD4R GP-CD12 GP-CD6R GP-CD13R2 GP-CD7R GP-CD18 GP-CD8R GP-CD19 Refer to Sheet 1 in Appendix 1 for a site plan which shows all probes that are part of the compliance network. 1.3.2 Landfill Probe Construction Logs of the construction of gas probes are contained in Appendix 2. The depths of the gas probes range from 10 feet to 20 feet, depending on their location. These probes were installed on January 26 and 27, 2009. A few of the gas monitoring probes (GP-CD1, GP-CD4, and GP-CD13) contain multiple probes within the same borehole. The shallow probe, designated “S”, extends from original ground to a maximum of 10 feet. The deep probe, designated “D”, extends from the lowest depth of the shallow probe (approximately 10 feet below original ground) to the lowest monitoring point (a maximum of 20 feet). The following table shows the depth, surface elevation and bottom elevation of existing probes. Where surface elevation and bottom elevation is not available, „N/A‟ is specified. The lowest point of the landfill base grade is approximately 528 feet.

In order to monitor the potential extent of the gas migration, replacement probes GP-CD4R (R = replacement) through GP-CD8R were installed on March 24 and 25, 2009 along the southern and western property boundaries. During the initial monitoring event for these probes, methane was detected in probes GP-CD6R and GP-CD8R with GP-CD5R exceeding the LEL. As described in Section 1.3.4 below, subsequent monitoring events have resulted in exceedances that occur in varying patterns throughout the monitoring network. 1.3.4 Landfill Gas Migration Study Results In response to the continued methane exceedances, Probes GP-CD14 through GP- CD18 were installed on April 23, 2009 within the Duke Easement around the northwestern, western and southwestern property lines. These delineation probes have shown minimal methane detects indicating the methane is not migrating past the Duke Easement. Monitoring in GP-CD4R has not indicated the presence of landfill gas. Monitoring in GP-CD5RS (S = shallow) indicates the presence of methane. As a result, Probe GP-CD18 was installed between probe GP-CD5R and the property boundary. Methane concentrations of 0.1 percent have been detected, but these low readings may be contributed to equipment calibration error. Monitoring results indicate that landfill gas is not migrating beyond the facility boundary on the south side of the landfill. Monitoring of probes GP-CD7, GP-CD7R, GP-CD8, GP-CD8R has shown methane concentrations greater than the LEL, indicating that landfill gas is migrating beyond the facility property boundary on the western edge of the landfill. Monitoring of probes GP-CD11 and GP-CD12 has shown methane concentrations less than the LEL, indicating that methane migration along the northern side of the landfill is limited to the northeast corner, where GP-CD13D has exhibited methane levels in excess of the LEL. Methane concentrations of 0.1 percent have been detected within the delineation probes located within the Duke Easement. These marginal readings are likely a result of equipment calibration error. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Gas Remediation Plan December 16, 2009 Page 6 1.3.5 Potential Risks Figure 1 in Appendix 1 illustrates the adjacent property usage and includes a line drawn 1,000 feet from the edge of the waste. Usually property outside of this zone is not considered to be at risk for impact from landfill gas migration. The northern and western sides border the Duke University forest. The Orange County MSW landfill borders the C&D landfill on the eastern side. Eubanks Road is located on the southern boundary. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Gas Remediation Plan December 16, 2009 Page 7 2.0 PROPOSED ACTIONS 2.1 General This section contains the actions that are recommended under this remediation plan. The plan includes two phases of remediation. Phase 2 would only be implemented if Phase 1 failed to remediate the problem. The two phases are as follows: Phase Description Schedule 1 Western interception trench Currently proposed; based on current monitoring results 2 Extension of western interception trench; installation of northern interception trench; active gas collection at western interception trench As necessary; contingent upon results of proposed initial monitoring A six-month initial monitoring period will be implemented in order to evaluate the success of Phase 1 and to better evaluate landfill gas migration at the northern and western property boundaries. 2.2 Initial Monitoring Initial monitoring will be performed twice a month for six months. The table below summarizes the gas probes that will require additional monitoring, as well as the resultant remediation required should a probe exceed the compliance level after the six-month monitoring period. If a significant decrease in the methane levels within a group of probes occurs but the probes remains out of compliance, Initial Monitoring may be continued without implementation of Phase 2 remediation upon DENR approval and a new schedule established: Initial Monitoring Landfill Gas Probe Remediation Action Required upon Exceedance GP-CD-4R, GP-CD-18 & GP-CD-19 Phase 2A GP-CD-13R2 Phase 2B 2.3 Phase 1 An interception trench will be constructed along the western property line as shown on Sheet 1 in Appendix 1. This trench will extend to bedrock or groundwater whichever is encountered first. This depth is approximately 20 feet based on construction logs for groundwater monitoring wells along the western property line. The trench will be lined with a geosynthetic membrane on the side opposite the landfill to prevent gas migration to the property boundary. A gas collection pipe connected to vertical passive vents Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Gas Remediation Plan December 16, 2009 Page 8 topped by wind turbines will provide a conduit for the landfill gas to escape. A cross section and profile of the interception trench is shown on Sheet 2 in Appendix 1. Gas probes GP-CD6R, GP-CD7R, and GP-CD8R will be monitored twice a month for six months. If, after six months, methane concentrations in GP-CD6R, GP-CD7R, and GP-CD8R have decreased below the compliance level, no further remediation is required. If a significant decrease in the methane levels within GP-CD6R, GP-CD7R, and GP- CD8R is noted, but the probes remains out of compliance, monitoring may be continued with DENR approval and a new schedule established. Should the probes continue to exceed compliance levels for methane, Phase 2 will be implemented. 2.4 Phase 2 2.4.1 Phase 2A – Extension of the Western Interception Trench Phase 2A involves the extension of the western interception trench along the southern boundary of the landfill. This extension will be located between the landfill and the compliance probes. Refer to Sheet 2 in Appendix 1 for a typical cross section of the interception trench. The exact location and profile of the trench extension shall be developed when deemed necessary. Following construction of the interception trench extension, probe GP-CD19 will be monitored twice a month for six months. If, after six months, methane concentration in both GP-CD18 and GP-CD19 have decreased below the compliance level, no further remediation will be required. If a significant decrease in the methane levels within GP-CD18 and GP-CD-19 is noted, but either of the probes remain out of compliance, Phase 2A monitoring may be continued with DENR approval and a new schedule established. Should the trench extension fail to bring the methane level in the probes to below the compliance levels, a gas header line will be attached to the risers. This gas header line will be connected to a blower to actively extract gas from the trench. 2.4.2 Phase 2B – Installation of the Northern Interception Trench If gas probe GP-CD13R2 exceeds the compliance level for methane, the installation of an additional gas interception trench will be implemented. This interception trench will be located at the toe of the access road fill near GP-CD13. Refer to Sheet 2 in Appendix 1 for a typical cross-section of the interception trench. The exact location and profile of the trench shall be developed when deemed necessary. 2.4.3 Phase 2C – Active Collection System for Western Interception Trench If methane concentrations in gas probes GP-CD6R, GP-CD7R, and GP-CD8R Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Gas Remediation Plan December 16, 2009 Page 9 continue to exceed compliance levels, a gas header line will be attached to the riser pipes. This gas header line will be connected to a blower to actively extract gas from the trench. 2.5 Implementation Schedule ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD MONITORING EVALUATION Initial Monitoring Evaluation of migration prior to remediation Completed - week of 10/26/09 Monitor 4R, 13R2, 18 & 19 twice a month for 6 months.

Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Gas Remediation Plan December 16, 2009 Page 10 3.0 SITE LAYOUT 3.1 Landfill Gas Probe/Trench Location Sheet 1 in Appendix 1 illustrates the existing site conditions relative to property boundary, fill area, gas probe (both existing and proposed) and proposed gas interception trench locations. 3.2 Interception Trench and Associated Vents The interception trench will consist of a 2-foot wide gravel-filled trench with a 30-mil LLDPE or 30-mil PVC geosynthetic membrane lining the side opposite the landfill. The geosynthetic membrane shall be overlapped by 6 inches and shall extend over the entire top of the trench after all gravel is placed in the trench. There will be a perforated horizontal gas collection pipe with vertical passive vents spaced every 100 feet. Pipe perforations will be arranged in sets of 3/8-inch holes with 4 holes at 6 inch spacing. Slotted pipe (0.010 inches) may be used in lieu of perforations. The passive landfill gas vents will consist of six (6) inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe topped by a stainless steel wind turbine or by a 6” PVC turndown. The trench will be extended to groundwater elevation, approximately 20 feet below ground surface. This depth shall be verified in the field during construction. The riser pipe will be perforated with perforations beginning at approximately two feet below grade. Pipe perforations will be arranged in sets of 3/8-inch holes with 4 holes at 5 to 6 inch spacing. Slotted pipe (0.010 inches) may be used in lieu of perforations. Vents will extend at least six feet above grade. The trench will be backfilled with NCDOT No. 57 aggregate to within a minimum of one foot of the existing grade; the aggregate backfill will act as a filter pack for the landfill gas vent. The remaining foot of the trench depth will be backfilled with compacted soil. Refer to the trench detail on Sheet 2 of Appendix 1. Orange County Eubanks Road C&D Landfill Gas Remediation Plan December 16, 2009 Page 11 4.0 ANCILLARY ITEMS 4.1 Operations and Maintenance Landfill gas probes and trench vents will be inspected quarterly. Damage will be promptly repaired. Sampling tubes within the gas probes will also be inspected. If the tubes are broken, the probe will be replaced. Caps and pads around gas probes will be inspected and repaired, or replaced, as needed. 4.2 Construction Quality Control The previously referenced Sheets and details present the plans for the landfill gas control systems. During the installation of the landfill gas monitoring or control systems at the landfill, the County or Engineering Consultant will provide inspection of the construction activities and will submit a certification report to DENR. 4.3 Remediation Period Landfill gas management will continue throughout the active life of the facility and the closure and post-closure care periods, or until the facility receives written authorization from the DENR to discontinue. Authorization to cease landfill gas monitoring and control will be based on a demonstration by the facility that no potential for landfill gas migration exists beyond the property boundary or into facility structures. During the closure and post-closure maintenance period, landfill gas monitoring and control systems may be modified to reflect the changing on-site and adjacent land uses. Post-closure landfill use at the site will not interfere with the function of gas monitoring and control systems.

CTC JR. 9 MATERIALS 1.USE A SYNTHETIC FILTER FABRIC OF AT LEAST 95% BY WEIGHT OF POLYOLEFINS OR POLYESTER, WHICH IS CERTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER AS CONFORMING TO THE REQUIREMENTS IN ASTM D 6461, WHICH IS SHOWN IN PART IN TABLE 6.62B. SYNTHETIC FILTER FABRIC SHOULD CONTAIN ULTRAVIOLET RAY INHIBITORS AND STABILIZERS TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF 6 MONTHS OF EXPECTED USABLE CONSTRUCTION LIFE AT A TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 0 TO 120º F. 2.ENSURE THAT POSTS FOR SEDIMENT FENCES ARE 1.33 LB/LINEAR FT STEEL WITH A MINIMUM LENGTH OF 5 FEET. MAKE SURE THAT STEEL POSTS HAVE PROJECTIONS TO FACILITATE FASTENING THE FABRIC. 3.FOR REINFORCEMENT OF STANDARD STRENGTH FILTER FABRIC, USE WIRE FENCE WITH A MINIMUM 14 GAUGE AND A MAXIMUM MESH SPACING OF 6 INCHES. CONSTRUCTION 1.CONSTRUCT THE SEDIMENT BARRIER OF STANDARD STRENGTH OR EXTRA STRENGTH SYNTHETIC FILTER FABRICS. 2.ENSURE THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE SEDIMENT FENCE DOES NOT EXCEED 24 INCHES ABOVE THE GROUND SURFACE. (HIGHER FENCES MAY IMPOUND VOLUMES OF WATER SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE FAILURE OF THE STRUCTURE.) 3.CONSTRUCT THE FILTER FABRIC FROM A CONTINUOUS ROLL CUT TO THE LENGTH OF THE BARRIER TO AVOID JOINTS. WHEN JOINTS ARE NECESSARY, SECURELY FASTEN THE FILTER CLOTH ONLY AT A SUPPORT POST WITH 4 FEET MINIMUM OVERLAP TO THE NEXT POST. 4.SUPPORT STANDARD STRENGTH FILTER FABRIC BY WIRE MESH FASTENED SECURELY TO THE UPSLOPE SIDE OF THE POSTS. EXTEND THE WIRE MESH SUPPORT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TRENCH. FASTEN THE WIRE REINFORCEMENT, THEN FABRIC ON THE UPSLOPE SIDE OF THE FENCE POST. WIRE OR PLASTIC ZIP TIES SHOULD HAVE MINIMUM 50 POUND TENSILE STRENGTH. 5.WHEN A WIRE MESH SUPPORT FENCE IS USED, SPACE POSTS A MAXIMUM OF 8 FEET APART. SUPPORT POSTS SHOULD BE DRIVEN SECURELY INTO THE GROUND A MINIMUM OF 24 INCHES. 6.EXTRA STRENGTH FILTER FABRIC WITH 6 FEET POST SPACING DOES NOT REQUIRE WIRE MESH SUPPORT FENCE. SECURELY FASTEN THE FILTER FABRIC DIRECTLY TO POSTS. WIRE OR PLASTIC ZIP TIES SHOULD HAVE MINIMUM 50 POUND TENSILE STRENGTH. 7.EXCAVATE A TRENCH APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES WIDE AND 8 INCHES DEEP ALONG THE PROPOSED LINE OF POSTS AND UPSLOPE FROM THE BARRIER (FIGURE 6.62A). 8.PLACE 12 INCHES OF THE FABRIC ALONG THE BOTTOM AND SIDE OF THE TRENCH. 9.BACKFILL THE TRENCH WITH COMPACTED SOIL PLACED OVER THE FILTER FABRIC. THOROUGH COMPACTION OF THE BACKFILL IS CRITICAL TO SILT FENCE PERFORMANCE. 10.DO NOT ATTACH FILTER FABRIC TO EXISTING TREES. SEDIMENT FENCE INSTALLATION USING THE SLICING METHOD INSTEAD OF EXCAVATING A TRENCH, PLACING FABRIC AND THEN BACKFILLING TRENCH, SEDIMENT FENCE MAY BE INSTALLED USING SPECIALLY DESIGNED EQUIPMENT THAT INSERTS THE FABRIC INTO A CUT SLICED IN THE GROUND WITH A DISC. INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS 1.THE BASE OF BOTH END POSTS SHOULD BE AT LEAST ONE FOOT HIGHER THAN THE MIDDLE OF THE FENCE. CHECK WITH A LEVEL IF NECESSARY. 2.INSTALL POSTS 4 FEET APART IN CRITICAL AREAS AND 6 FEET APART ON STANDARD APPLICATIONS. 3.INSTALL POSTS 2 FEET DEEP ON THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF THE SILT FENCE, AND AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE FABRIC, ENABLING POSTS TO SUPPORT THE FABRIC FROM UPSTREAM WATER PRESSURE. 4.INSTALL POSTS WITH THE NIPPLES FACING AWAY FROM THE SILT FABRIC. 5.ATTACH THE FABRIC TO EACH POST WITH THREE TIES, ALL SPACED WITHIN THE TOP 8 INCHES OF THE FABRIC. ATTACH EACH TIE DIAGONALLY 45 DEGREES THROUGH THE FABRIC, WITH EACH PUNCTURE AT LEAST 1 INCH VERTICALLY APART. ALSO, EACH TIE SHOULD BE POSITIONED TO HANG ON A POST NIPPLE WHEN TIGHTENED TO PREVENT SAGGING. 6.WRAP APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES OF FABRIC AROUND THE END POSTS AND SECURE WITH 3 TIES. 7.NO MORE THAN 24 INCHES OF A 36 INCH FABRIC IS ALLOWED ABOVE GROUND LEVEL. 8.THE INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CHECKED AND CORRECTED FOR ANY DEVIATIONS BEFORE COMPACTION. 9.COMPACTION IS VITALLY IMPORTANT FOR EFFECTIVE RESULTS. COMPACT THE SOIL IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO THE SILT FENCE FABRIC WITH THE FRONT WHEEL OF THE TRACTOR, SKID STEER, OR ROLLER EXERTING AT LEAST 60 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH. COMPACT THE UPSTREAM SIDE FIRST, AND THEN EACH SIDE TWICE FOR A TOTAL OF 4 TRIPS. MAINTENANCE 1.INSPECT SEDIMENT FENCES AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND AFTER EACH RAINFALL. MAKE ANY REQUIRED REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY. 2.SHOULD THE FABRIC OF A SEDIMENT FENCE COLLAPSE, TEAR, DECOMPOSE OR BECOME INEFFECTIVE, REPLACE IT PROMPTLY. 3.REMOVE SEDIMENT DEPOSITS AS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STORAGE VOLUME FOR THE NEXT RAIN AND TO REDUCE PRESSURE ON THE FENCE. TAKE CARE TO AVOID UNDERMINING THE FENCE DURING CLEANOUT. 4.REMOVE ALL FENCING MATERIALS AND UNSTABLE SEDIMENT DEPOSITS AND BRING THE AREA TO GRADE AND STABILIZE IT AFTER THE CONTRIBUTING DRAINAGE AREA HAS BEEN PROPERLY STABILIZED.
