I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
This operation plan has been created on behalf of the Duplin County Department of Solid
Waste for the Solid Waste Handling and Transfer Facility (Permit 31-03T). Operations at
this facility will be conducted in agreement with this plan, the North Carolina Waste
Management Rules, and generally sound environmental and waste management practices.
The MSW transfer facility transports its waste to the Sampson County Disposal Inc.
Landfill in Roseboro, NC, which is a lined waste management facility (Permit number
82-02).
Zoning approval was acquired when the MSW transfer facility was originally permitted
in 1993.
II. FACILITY LOCATION
The Duplin County MSW Transfer Facility is located near Rose Hill, North Carolina.
The facility, which is owned and operated by the County of Duplin, is located
approximately 4 miles northeast of Rose Hill, NC on Landfill Road (SR 1918).
The physical address is as follows:
Duplin County Transfer Station

IV. FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The main MSW transfer structure is a metal building constructed on a concrete slab and
retaining wall. It is enclosed on three sides, keeping one open facade that provides
accessibility for incoming vehicles. One of the enclosed sides provides an entrance for
service vehicles to the tipping floor. The tipping floor encompasses an area of
approximately 10,000 square feet (100 feet by 100 feet). Transfer trailers are positioned
in a loading bay under the tipping floor. Incoming loads are discarded onto the concrete
tipping floor where they are compacted into the transfer trailer located on the lower level.
Leachate that is generated from normal activities and from regular washing of the tipping
floors is collected through drains in the lower level floor. These drains empty into the on
site holding tanks which will be pumped out by a licensed septage hauler and disposed at
Shamrock Environmental Corp., Brown's Summit, NC. Any solid waste not removed
from the transfer station will be stored in an enclosed transfer trailer overnight.
V. SOURCE, TYPES, AND QUANTITIES OF WASTE
The source of municipal solid waste will be from residential, commercial, and industrial
facilities located within Duplin County. The MSW handling and transfer facility will be
used solely for the handling and conveyance of municipal solid waste generated within
Duplin County. The Facility will only accept solid waste as defined in G.S. 130A —
290(35). Any hazardous, liquid, or other prohibited materials found in the waste stream
shall be removed and held for proper disposal. The waste will be transferred to the site in
publicly and privately owned vehicles of various types and sizes.
July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019, 44,296.47 tons of MSW was accepted at the Duplin
Transfer Station, which equates to approximately 3,691 tons per month. This rate is
expected to remain relatively constant relative to population growth. Thus, a proportional
increase in waste quantities should be expected as Duplin County's population increases.
VI. OPERATION PLAN
A. General
The Duplin County Transfer Station will be open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM
until 5:00 PM. The facility will be closed in the observance of the following holidays:
New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Holidays, and Christmas
Holidays.

Waste collection and transportation vehicles are weighed in at the scale house and again
weighed upon departure. Signs will be posted directing traffic to the proper areas for
disposal of the respective material. MSW will be unloaded onto the tipping floor, where it
will be gathered and moved into the transfer trailer. The station operator, who is
responsible for observing the contents of each load, will take action if unsuitable waste is
received.
Other activities that occur at the transfer facility include:
- Duplin County accepts used tires daily. Tires are stacked by the pubic into the
storage trailer. When the trailer is full, the County will contact Central Carolina
Tire and have it switched out.
- A recycling warehouse is on site to process source separated recyclable materials
for market.
- Used lead -acid batteries are collected in a designated location. These batteries are
stored on a wooden pallet adjacent to the recycling warehouse. In general, the
batteries are removed monthly.
- Yard Waste such as grass clippings, leaves, brush, and other debris (excluding
pallets) is disposed of in the permitted area.
- Old Metal materials and appliance are collected in an area designated for metals.
These materials are generally processed and removed every two months or as
needed.
- White Goods, which contain Freon, are collected by the facility and stored in one
designated area in the metal storage area. The handling and disposal of these
items are governed by 40 CFR 82 "Protection of Stratosphere Ozone".
- The Scalehouse and Office are open during standard operating hours. Vehicles
transporting MSW will stop at the scalehouse for weighing before and after trips
to the transfer station.
B. Equipment
The equipment, which is used at the MSW Transfer Station, is owned and operated by
Duplin County. County personnel will conduct preventive and other maintenance to
ensure the equipment remains in good operational condition. The following equipment
will be used at the transfer station:
- 1 CAT-924G Wheel Loader
- 1-CAT-926M End Loader
- 1 CAT-963B Track Loader

March 2020

I JCB Backhoe
- 11 Open -Top Transfer Trailers
5 Road Tractors
- 2 Yard Tractor
- 6 Roll -off Trucks
- 3 Pickup Trucks
A wheel loader will collect the waste from the facility's tipping floor. Then the waste is
compressed and loaded into trailers located in the lower level of the transfer station.
Based on the current waste volume rates, the transfer station can be managed with one
wheel loader and the yard tractor. However, if the rates increase substantially, the owner
will rent another loader for the duration of the increased volume or until another loader is
acquired (if high rates persist).
C. Personnel
County staff will be present at the scalehouse to weigh vehicles in and out. Staff will also
be stationed at the transfer areas to oversee operations to ensure no hazardous or
prohibited waste enters the transfer facility. All employees will be routinely trained in
safety issues such as recognizing and managing hazardous waste, fire prevention and
firefighting, and other emergency and safety related topics. A qualified person will
conduct training. First aid supplies and training will be provided in the facility. All
employees will be required to immediately report all work -related injuries and illnesses.
All staff members will be provided with the necessary safety equipment including gloves,
dust masks, safety shoes, earplugs, safety glasses and related protective items as needed.
D. Waste Transfer
All vehicles will be weighed at the scale and then proceed to the transfer station or
appropriate location. A two lane all-weather access road will be maintained between the
scalehouse and other structures. Vehicles hauling MSW will back up to the transfer
stations loading bay and unload onto the tipping floor over the facility's dock. A visual
inspection will then be performed by the transfer station attendant to ensure only
authorized waste is accepted. A wheel loader will then push and compact the waste onto
the transfer trailer through the loading bay. Once full, the transfer trailer will transport the
waste to the Sampson County Disposal, Inc. landfill near Clinton, NC and an empty
trailer will replace the departing trailers.
Outgoing trailers will then be weighed at the scale house for bookkeeping purposes and
to ensure no overloaded vehicles will enter NC roads. Weight records of MSW will be
maintained at the facility and will be used in preparation for the annual reports submitted
to NCDENR Division of Solid Waste.

E. Leachate Management
The tipping floor will be cleaned daily. Leachate generated as a result of daily operations
and periodic cleaning of the facility will be collected by a drain in the lower loading bay.
These drains are then piped into a series of solids and grease/oil separators prior to
entering the on -site holding tank. The holding tank will be pumped out monthly and
hauled to Shamrock Environmental Corporation's, wastewater treatment plant.
F. Hazard and Nuisance Control
Hazard and nuisance control for a MSW transfer station is vital for proper management
and efficient operation. The attributing factors to any waste transfer process include
prohibited or unauthorized waste materials, fire, odors, disease, vectors, noise, dust, and
litter. The Material Screening process conforms to NCAC T15A.1313.0302 (2). Key
elements of this plan consist of
a. Training of facility personnel to recognize regulated hazardous and
unacceptable waste, including asbestos materials
b. Visual inspection of each load that comes into the facility, as well as random
checks of loads.
c. A contingency plan to correctly manage any proscribed waste.
Training of Facility personnel- Anyone working at the scale house and/or transfer station
will be trained to identify suspicious, hazardous and unacceptable wastes based on visual
and odor characteristics. The Operations Manager or any personnel trained to identify
and manage hazardous and liquid wastes will administer inspections. Transfer station
employees will be SWANA certified Transfer Station Operations Specialists.
Visual inspections: These shall include observations of each truckload unloading their
shipment onto a concrete pad and observations before loading onto the processing area.
The truck and driver will be detained if objectionable material is found during the
unloading process.
Random load inspections: These will be performed to abide by the minimum requirement
of 1% screening of waste. This percentage can be raised depending on the type and nature
of the incoming waste.
Methodology for choosing the loads to be examined will be based on:
- The probability that a load may contain proscribed waste based on type of
business served or type of hauler involved.
- A random selection process that will ensure any load can be checked.
- The ability to distinguish and check "suspicious" loads.
The shipment will be examined for prohibited and/or hazardous waste:
Duplin County — Transfer Station Operations Plan Page 15
March 2020

- Asbestos containing material
- Containers with hazardous labels or markings
- Container with liquids, oils, paints, varnishes, etc.
- Drums or commercial sized containers
- Material with "chemical odors", dust, powders, smoke, or vapors
- Materials with bright or unusual colors
- Regulated biochemical waste
- Sludges, biomass, etc
Waste banned from landfill disposal by North Carolina statute
Fire: The MSW transfer station and associated buildings will be equipped with fire
extinguishers. Qualified personnel will conduct routine inspections of the fire prevention
equipment. A qualified person will train all staff members in effective fire fighting
procedure and fire prevention. There shall be no flammable liquids stored in or around
the MSW Transfer Station. A hose and water supply will be provided inside the facility
for fire -fighting measures, and in the case of a fire, the local Fire Department will be
contacted by calling 911.
Litter: The implementation of covered transfer vehicles, staff supervision, and a fenced
facility will be used to prevent litter. Windblown material, if any, will be picked up and
discarded daily.
Odors and Vectors: Measures to be taken to control odors and disease vectors include
immediate removal of waste, invariable washing of the tipping floor, and covering of any
partial loads which may remain outside overnight. If vectors are discovered, adequate
extermination measures will be taken. The tipping area will be empty and clean at the end
of each working day.
Dust: The access roads and the areas adjacent to the MSW Transfer Station are paved to
help lessen the problems associated with dust.
Noise: The tract of land on which the MSW Transfer Facility is located has ample buffer
to soften most noise pollution. Current levels are not expected to change.
