REPORT FOR PERMIT APPLICATION
LES'S MULCH PLUS
2706 ASHEVILLE HWY
HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. 28792
The Les's Mulch and More Stump Dump will operate as a treatment and recycling
facility for common yard waste. The facility receives stumps, limbs, and other
woody waste and processes this waste for recycled products and for bio-
generation fuel. The final products of this facility are for the most part sent to
commercial accounts for gardening products or as fuel for bio-generation fuel at
licensed facilities off site.
This facility will process stumps, and other yard waste into saleable material for
reuse. The material is brought to the site in trucks from landscaping and general
construction sources. The waste will consist of stumps and tree limbs and other
woody yard waste. The waste enters the property from the front entrance of the
property and is inspected on the truck to make sure that the material is
acceptable in nature. Demolition waste will not be accepted, nor is any waste that
cannot be processed into mulch or bio-generation fuel. Once the waste is
accepted, the truck will then be directed to dump the waste at one of the sorting
stockpiles. The material is sorted to seperated the material into the three
categories for processing. One of the major accounts requires that the processed
material be very clean and contain little dirt and contamination. The other two end
products require varying degrees of cleanliness. This necessitates the sorting
process, which is done prior to chipping/grinding the material. This sorting
process allows the materials to be inspected for unnacceptable materials. This
will include metal, of any kind, trash, demolition waste, construction
lumber, drywall, any painted materials, grassclippings, treated wood,
engineered wood products, contraction wastes, and ect. Any unacceptable
waste is separated into a stockpile, that will be hauled off to the sanitary landfill
usually that day.
The first waste stream is chipped/ground for solid fuel for the BlueRidge Co -Gen
IIIIIIIIGIIEIIltnnua�..a_-___

facility. This facility is located in Haywood county.(papers included). The material
comes on the site, is chipped/ground and stockpiled, and is shipped off the site.
The total volume of this material on site at any one time is estimated to be
approximately 2000 cubic yards. This process usually takes between one and
fourteen days depending on the needs of the end user and the incoming waste
stream. The second stream is chipped for solid fuel for the Tri-Gen Bio Power
facility, which is located in Burke County.(papers included). This stream is
identical to the first stream except that the Tri-Gen facility requires material that is
cleaner than the BlueRidge facility requires. The third stream is processed for
aged landscaping mulch. After chipping/grinding, the waste is stockpiled in
windrows where natural aging processed allow the chips to age into a usefull
landcaping product. This aging process takes between 90 days and 180 days.
The material comes form the chipper/grinder and is stored in windrows that are
circulated from the north west margin of the property to the northeast. The
material is stirred and circulated to aid in the aging and to keep the aged material
circulating from the chipper/grinder to the final point of sale. The windrows have
been arranged to accommodate approximately between 8,500-9,000 cubic yards
of mulch in process.
The operation of the facility is determined by the needs of the end users and the
volume of aged waste on site. If the aged mulch stockpiles are filled, then all
waste is chipped for the Bio-fuel uses and is sent off the site except for the
amount necessary to make up for constant demand. When the demand for the
aged mulch is higher then a higher percentage of the incoming waste is sent to
the aging stockpiles. There is no material that is bypassed to an approved landfill.
All unacceptable materials are sent to the sanitary landfill owned and operated by
Hederson County, immediately. ,
MATERIAL SCREENING PLAN
The only materials that are acceptable at this facility are common yard wastes
that are primarily woody in nature. This includes tree stumps, limbs, cut logs, and
the like. All other material is directed off the site. Unacceptable materials include
metal of any kind, trash, demolition waste, construction lumber, drywall, any
painted materials, grass clippings, treated wood, engineered wood products,
construction wastes, and ect.
All materials are inspected twice when the arrive at the site. The material is
inspected upon arrival while still on the truck. Any load containing any
observable waste not acceptabel for processing is immediatly sent off the site in
the truck in which it arrive. Should the unacceptable material be hidden in the
load then it is usually found once the truck dumps it at the stockpile. If
unacceptable material is found in a load when it is dumped out then the material
is reloaded in the truck and sent off the site immediately. Materials that get past
these two inspections are found when the material is sorted to be loaded into the
chipper/grinder. These materials are sorted out and loaded on a truck and sent to
the sanitary landfil as they are found.

Since all material is physically handled immediately, it is the rare occurrence
when unacceptable materials are found that were not caught in the unloading
process. When this does happen, the offending material is seperated out and
sent to the landfill immediately. No unacceptabel materials are stored on site.
They are reloaded into trucks and immediately and sent to the landfill. This
precludes the need for storage receptacles on site for unacceptable materials.
Equipment for reloading the material and trucks for hauling unacceptable
materials are available at all times when the facility is in operation.
There. is no material that is bypassed at this facility.
Once the material is dumped on the ground at the receiving stockpiles, the
material is sorted into the categories stated above primarily to seperate the
cleanest material for processing to send to Tri- Gen Facility. The material is
handled by a tracked excavator that is equipped with a material -handling bucket.
This machine is used to load the waste into the chipper/grinder that shreds the
waste. Once the material is chipped it is either stockpoled for sending to the end
users or it is transferred to the aging process. This handling is accomplished with
a front end loader.
Euipment on the site to process the material consists of 1 12' tub grinder capable
of handling stumps, tree trunks and brush, 1tracked excavator, Log loader and 2-
3 dumptrucks. We will also in the future have a office with restroom, until then
there will be a porta john for sanitary requirements. There will be anywhere
between 3-5 people on site to manage and handle the process.
The dump trucks will be used to transfer the material of the site to the end user or
to the land fill as necessary.
END USERS
The final product of this facility consists of three classes of product:
1. Fuel. Fuel is processed and sent of the Blue Ridge Paper facility in Haywood
county. Blue Ridge Co -Gen, 175 Main st. Canton, N.C. 28716. This material is
incorporated in their process as either fuel in their Co -Gen plant or into their final
paper product.
2. Clean Fuel. Clean Fuel is processed and sent to the Tri-Gen Bio Power, Inc.
facility near Marion NC. Tri Gen Bio Power, Inc., 2859 Old Linville Rd., Marion,
NC., 28752. This material is burned to generate power.
3. Aged Mulch. Aged mulch is processed and sold to a variety of commercial
accounts and wholesalers and the general public.
ACM

Since there will be no demolition waste that will be accepted at this facility, there
is no asbestos containing materials on the site.
WASTE WATER
At this time there are no permanent facilities on site that are connected to the
sanitary sewage system, so all waste water is contained in the Porta-John, which
is serviced by the supplier on a regular basis. We are planning to have a full
service bathroom in office building when building is complete.
FLOOD PLAN
The facility is in conformance with the Henderson County Flood Ordinance. None
of the Facility is constructed in the protected floodway. Since the material is not
deposited in the floodway(the area of the waterway that transports floodwaters
downstream) nor are any of the operations in the protected floodway, the flow of
floodwaters is unimpeded. In accordance with FEMA regulations and local flood
ordinances, the proposed
operations do not cause a rise in flood waters. None of the facility is in any part of
the flood zone.
.According to the fCoodpaneCmap, attached, the BFE(base flood
elevation is 2, 076.6). So the entire site of operations is above the
base flood elevation.
It is apparent that aff of the site and operations are above the base
ffoodefevation and therefore wiffnot affect any of the fCood-way.

I hope these are the answers you need.
1). We are planning to use the house as an office if it is fixable. Other wise it will
be torn down and a small office building will be put up. Also no mulch or any
other material will be with in 100 feet of the well. The house on the property next
to ours is appox. 400+ feet from the working area and should not be affected at
all by this business.
2). The property is bordered by Mudd creek. There are 2 man made ponds and a
small stream that runs thru the property. There will be no Mulch piles or any other
material within 100 feet of these waters.
3). None of this Facility is in any part of the wet land, nor will there be any storage
of any type of material stored on the wet lands. The office building will be 100' or
more from the flood elevation.
4). spoke with the erosion control officer and told him that we will not be
disturbing more than an acre of land and if we are, than we will go and get a
permit. Also the air polution man told us to keep our hrs to 700 a year and if we
need to go over, than we will have to get a permit.
5). There shouldn't be any problems with run offs of any sort, but if there is, than
silt fences will be put up and the necessary measures will take place to fix the
matter.
6). Letter from Fire marshall, enclosed.
7). There is only one way into the property, therefore it will have a 20 ft. gate that
will be locked at all times when we are not open. When we are open there will be
someone there at all times.
Leslie Erickson owner, owns all equipment being used for this business.

LES'S MULCH PLUS
2706 ASHEVILLE HWY
HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. 28792
OPERATIONS PLAN:
The Les's Mulch and More Stump Dump will operate as a treatment and recycling
facility for common yard waste. The facility receives stumps, limbs, and other
woody waste and processes this waste for recycled products and for bio-
generation fuel. The final products of this facility are for the most part sent to
commercial accounts for gardening products or as fuel for bio-generation fuel at
licensed facilities off site.
This facility will process stumps, and other yard waste into saleable material for
reuse. The material is brought to the site in trucks from landscaping and general
construction sources. The waste will consist of stumps and tree limbs and other
woody yard waste. The waste enters the property from the front entrance of the
property and is inspected on the truck to make sure that the material is
acceptable in nature. Demolition waste will not be accepted, nor is any waste that
cannot be processed into mulch or bio-generation fuel. Once the waste is
accepted, the truck will then be directed to dump the waste at one of the sorting
stockpiles. The material is sorted to seperated the material into the three
categories for processing. One of the major accounts requires that the processed
material be very clean and contain little dirt and contamination. The other two end
products require varying degrees of cleanliness. This necessitates the sorting
process, which is done prior to chipping/grinding the material. This sorting
process allows the materials to be inspected for unnacceptable materials. This
will include metal, of any kind, trash, demolition waste, construction
lumber, drywall, ant) painted materials, grassclippings, treated wood,
engineered wood products, contruction wastes, and ect. Any unacceptable
waste is separated into a stockpile, that will be hauled off to the sanitary landfill
usually that day.
The first waste stream is chipped/ground for solid fuel for the BlueRidge Co -Gen

facility. This facility is located in Haywood county.(papers included). The material
comes on the site, is chipped/ground and stockpiled, and is shipped off the site.
The total volume of this material on site at any one time is estimated to be
approximately 2000 cubic yards. This process usually takes between one and
fourteen days depending on the needs of the end user and the incoming waste
stream. The second stream is chipped for solid fuel for the Tri-Gen Bio Power
facility, which is located in Burke County.(papers included). This stream is
identical to the first stream except that the Tri-Gen facility requires material that is
cleaner than the BlueRidge facility requires. The third stream is processed for
aged landscaping mulch. After chipping/grinding, the waste is stockpiled in
windrows where natural aging processed allow the chips to age into a usefull
landcaping product. This aging process takes between 90 days and 180 days.
The material comes form the chipper/grinder and is stored in windrows that are
circulated from the north west margin of the property to the northeast. The
material is stirred and circulated to aid in the aging and to keep the aged material
circulating from the chipper/grinder to the final point of sale. The windrows have
been arranged to accommodate approximately between 8,500-9,000 cubic yards
of mulch in process.
The operation of the facility is determined by the needs of the end users and the
volume of aged waste on site. If the aged mulch stockpiles are filled, then all
waste is chipped for the Bio-fuel uses and is sent off the site except for the
amount necessary to make up for constant demand. When the demand for the
aged mulch is higher then a higher percentage of the incoming waste is sent to
the aging stockpiles. There is no material that is bypassed to an approved landfill.
All unacceptable materials are sent to the sanitary landfill owned and operated by
Hederson County, immediately.
MATERIAL SCREENING PLAN
The only materials that are acceptable at this facility are common yard wastes
that are primarily woody in nature. This includes tree stumps, limbs, cut logs, and
the like. All other material is directed off the site. Unacceptable materials include
metal of any kind, trash, demolition waste, construction lumber, drywall, any
painted materials, grass clippings, treated wood, engineered wood products,
construction wastes, and ect.
All materials are inspected twice when the arrive at the site. The material is
inspected upon arrival while still on the truck. Any load containing any
observable waste not acceptabel for processing is immediatly sent off the site in
the truck in which it arrive. Should the unacceptable material be hidden in the
load then it is usually found once the truck dumps it at the stockpile. If
unacceptable material is found in a load when it is dumped out then the material
is reloaded in the truck and sent off the site immediately. Materials that get past
these two inspections are found when the material is sorted to be loaded into the
chipper/grinder. These materials are sorted out and loaded on a truck and sent to
the sanitary landfil as they are found.

Since all material is physically handled immediately, it is the rare occurrence
when unacceptable materials are found that were not caught in the unloading
process. When this does happen, the offending material is seperated out and
sent to the landfill immediately. No unacceptabel materials are stored on site.
They are reloaded into trucks and immediately and sent to the landfill. This
precludes the need for storage receptacles on site for unacceptable materials.
Equipment for reloading the material and trucks for hauling unacceptable
materials are available at all times when the facility is in operation.
There is no material that is bypassed at this facility.
Once the material is dumped on the ground at the receiving stockpiles, the
material is sorted into the categories stated above primarily to seperate the
cleanest material for processing to send to Tri- Gen Facility. The material is
handled by a tracked excavator that is equipped with a material -handling bucket.
This machine is used to load the waste into the chipper/grinder that shreds the
waste. Once the material is chipped it is either stockpoled for sending to the end
users or it is transferred to the aging process. This handling is accomplished with
a front end loader.
Euipment on the site to process the material consists of 1 12' tub grinder capable
of handling stumps, tree trunks and brush, 1tracked excavator, Log loader and 2-
3 dumptrucks. We will also in the future have a office with restroom, until then
there will be a porta john for sanitary requirements. There will be anywhere
between 3-5 people on site to manage and handle the process.
The dump trucks will be used to transfer the material of the site to the end user or
to the land fill as necessary.
END USERS
The final product of this facility consists of three classes of product:
1. Fuel. Fuel is processed and sent of the Blue Ridge Paper facility in Haywood
county. Blue Ridge Co -Gen, 175 Main st. Canton, N.C. 28716. This material is
incorporated in their process as either fuel in their Co -Gen plant or into their final
paper product.
2. Clean Fuel. Clean Fuel is processed and sent to the Tri-Gen Bio Power, Inc.
facility near Marion NC. Tri Gen Bio Power, Inc., 2859 Old Linville Rd., Marion,
NC., 28752. This material is burned to generate power.
3. Aged Mulch. Aged mulch is processed and sold to a variety of commercial
accounts and wholesalers and the general public.

Since there will be no demolition waste that will be accepted at this facility, there
is no asbestos containing materials on the site.
WASTE WATER
At this time there are no permanent facilities on site that are connected to the
sanitary sewage system, so all waste water is contained in the Porta-John, which
is serviced by the supplier on a regular basis. We are planning to have a full
service bathroom in office building when building is complete.
FLOOD PLAN
The facility is in conformance with the Henderson County Flood Ordinance. None
of the Facility is constructed in the protected floodway. Since the material is not
deposited in the floodway(the area of the waterway that transports floodwaters
downstream) nor are any of the operations in the protected floodway, the flow of
floodwaters is unimpeded. In accordance with FEMA regulations and local flood
ordinances, the proposed
operations do not cause a rise in flood waters. None of the facility is in any part of
the flood zone.
.According to the fCoodpaneCmap, attached, the BFE(base flood
elevation is 2,076.6). So the entire site of operations is above the
base fCood elevation.
It is apparent that aCCof the site and operations are above the base
flood elevation and therefore wittnot affect any of the ftoodway.
