(S+G) was retained by GFL Environmental, Inc. (GFL) to prepare an assessment report for the Wilson Transfer Station (NCDEQ Solid Waste Permit No. 98-06T- Transfer-1997) in accordance with recently adopted Solid Waste Rules'. This report was prepared in response to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0401(b), which requires a licensed professional engineer or geologist to perform an assessment of the condition of buildings (if any), access roads, parking and leachate collection systems of the current operations compared to the Rule. S+G's review was limited to the facility's conformance with the documents identified in Section 1.2 and did not include a review of Operating Records and Recordkeeping requirements. This report addresses each rule through photo documentation noting if action is necessary fie., no action, monitor, or action required], photo location, and observations made. Unless otherwise noted, items identified for monitor or action required do not impose an immediate threat to the safety or integrity of the facility or the controls in place. Rather, they point out deficiencies, where, if no action is taken, additional damage may have a significant impact on facility operations and the surrounding environment. S+G's recommendations included at the end of the report are based on the photo documentation and observations provided. 1.1 Site Information Permit Number: 98-06T - Transfer-1997 Owner/Operator: Waste Industries, LLC (Subsidiary of GFL) Facility Address: 2810 Contentnea Road Wilson, North Carolina 27893 Operating Hours: 6am-8pm Mon -Sat Acceptable Waste: Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Facility Contact: Michael Lee Phone Number: (252) 333-4880 Email Address: michael.leeldgflenv.com The Wilson Transfer Station (NCDEQ Solid Waste Permit No. 98-06T-Transfer-1997) is currently dormant.

Photograph locations were referenced and are included on Figure 1. 15A NCAC 13B.0403 fblfll and 0Sites shall be designed and constructed so that all solid waste receiving, handling, transfer, and storage occurs on an impervious surface, such as concrete or asphalt, unless otherwise stated in the site permit. Tipping floors shall be located within an enclosed building or covered area to prevent precipitation from coming into contact with waste, and all waste shall be managed on the tipping floors unless otherwise stated in the site permit. For the purpose of the rules of this Section, "tipping floor" means the area where waste is offloaded from residential or commercial vehicles, and staged and consolidated for transport to its intended disposal location. The Wilson transfer station is a bi-level prefabricated metal building. The building's upper level includes an approximate 3,000 square foot tipping floor, with push walls along the interior sides that are used to direct waste to feed hoppers for loading transfer trailers. The lower level is a drive through access for transfer trailer loading. 4.1 Tipping Floor Photo ID: Condition: 15 Monitor Direction Photo Taken: North Observations: Tipping floor in good condition with minor surface cracking.

Wilson Transfer Station Transfer Station Assessment Report June 2021 Page 13 DocuSign Envelope ID: E5937144-DB25-4EE9-B36E-5B891 ED2924C 6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS Below is a list of items identified during the site inspection that require action. Items that require immediate attention and items requiring attention prior to reopening are appropriately noted. • Monitor surface cracks on concrete apron in front of transfer station tipping floor. These cracks may need to be addressed if the facility becomes active. • Replace sign at entrance to include the types of waste that can be accepted and prohibited under the permit if facility becomes active. • Monitor floor drains in pit. Drains should be free flowing prior to facility becoming active. • Repair confined space sign at sewer lift station. Appropriate signage should be visible on a secure post at point of entry as soon as practicable. • Monitor tipping floor cracks and joints. Tipping floor may need to be replaced if facility becomes active. 7.o ENGINEER'S CERTIFICATION Based on the observations as documented herein, and in accordance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 13B .0401(b), it is our professional opinion that the transfer station as observed meets the requirements of the Rule with the exception of the items included in Section 6.0.

Screening programs for visual and olfactory characteristics of prohibited wastes are an ongoing part of the facility operation. 2.5.2 Waste Receiving and Inspection All vehicles must stop at the scale house located in proximity to the entrance of the facility and visitors are required to sign -in. All waste transportation vehicles are weighed and the content of the load assessed. The scale attendant(s) requests from the driver of the vehicle a description of the waste it is carrying to ensure that unacceptable waste is not allowed into the facility. The attendant(s) then visually check the vehicle as it crosses the scale. Signs informing users of the acceptable and unacceptable types of waste are posted at the entrance. Once passing the scales, the vehicles are routed to the appropriate area of the Transfer Station. Vehicles will be randomly selected for screening on a regular basis, depending on personnel availability. At least one vehicle per week will be randomly selected by inspection personnel. A random truck number and time will be selected (e.g., the tenth load after 10 AM) on the day of inspections. However, in the event that suspicious materials are spotted in any waste load, that load will be inspected further. Vehicles selected for inspection are to be directed to an area on the tipping floor where the vehicle will be unloaded. Waste is carefully spread using suitable equipment. An attendant trained to identify wastes that are unacceptable inspects the waste discharged at the screening area. If unacceptable waste is found, the load will be isolated, reloaded, and the generator/hauler will be logged and escorted out of the facility. The Owner will then notify officials of the DWM (see Section 1.2.2) within 24 hours of attempted disposal of any waste the facility is not permitted to receive to determine the proper course of action. The hauler is responsible for removing unacceptable waste from the facility property.

All random waste inspections will be documented by operations staff using the waste screening form provided in Appendix A. In addition to random waste screening described above, waste unloaded on the tipping floor face will be inspected by the equipment operators, trained to spot unacceptable wastes, before and during movement into the transfer trailer and/or equipment. Any suspicious looking waste is reported immediately to the designated primary inspector for further evaluation. 2.6 FACILITY OPERATIONS 2.6.1 Operating Capacity The maximum operating capacity for the transfer station is estimated to be approximately 500 tons per day. 2.6.2 Service Area The solid waste processed through the Transfer Station is a portion of the waste stream generated within Bertie County, Edgecombe County, Green County, Johnston County, Lenoir County, Martin County, Nash County, Pitt County, Wake County, Wayne County and Wilson County. 2.6.3 Disposal Facilities The disposal facilities receiving transferred material from the station are: • Sampson County Disposal, LLC Landfill (Primary), 7434 Roseboro Hwy, Roseboro, NC 23382 (Permit No. 82-92) • Bertie County Solid Waste Landfill (Alternative), 1922 Republican Road, Aulander, NC 27805 (Permit No. 08-03) • Brunswick Waste Management Facility (Alternative), 107 Mallard Crossing Road, Lawrenceville, VA 23868 (Permit No. 583) The DWM will be notified prior to using the alternative disposal site. Waste prohibited or requiring special handling at the receiving landfills will not be allowed into the transfer station.

Traffic speed on the site should be less than 10 MPH. Rutting of gravel roadway surfaces must be repaired by placement of additional gravel on the roadway and not solely by grading the rut. This will maintain the separator geotextile placed below most gravel roadway surfaces. 2.7.2 General Procedures The transfer operations will be conducted in accordance with the approved Operations Manual and conditions of the Solid Waste Permit issued by the North Carolina Division of Waste Management (DWM). Facility operations are as follows: 1. Collection vehicles delivering waste to the facility will enter through the main entrance; 2. Pass through the scales and scale house for weight; 3. Continue along the access road until reaching the transfer station tipping area; 4. The tipping area has "push" walls to facilitate in the loading process and prevent building damage. The equipment operator will direct vehicles, waiting to unload, to back into the facility through the entrance. Adequate area is available in front of the transfer area for drivers to queue their vehicles into a backing maneuver. Station operating personnel will be on the station floor to direct and guide the vehicles. 5. The vehicles will back onto the tipping floor to an area designated by the equipment operator. 6. Once the vehicle is in position, the waste load will be discharged directly onto the tipping floor. 7. An equipment operator will inspect the discharged waste before it is mixed with other waste on the tipping floor and pushed by a rubber -tired loader into the open top transfer trailers, specifically designated for hauling MSW, located in the lower level of the Transfer Station. Wilson Transfer Station Operations Manual December 2012 Page 2-5 DocuSign Envelope ID: E5937144-DB25-4EE9-B36E-5B891ED2924C SECTION 3 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 3.1 OVERVIEW This section reviews the overall environmental management tasks required for the successful operation of the facility. 3.2 SURFACE WATER CONTROL The Transfer Station facility currently does not require a Special or General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit. As used herein, the definition of "surface water" is water which results from precipitation or site run-on that has not contacted the waste. Proper control of surface water at the transfer area will accomplish the following goals: • Prevent the run-on of surface water into waste handling area(s); • Prevent the run-off of surface water that has come into contact with the waste (i.e. leachate); • Limit the erosion caused by surface waters; and • Limit sediments carried off -site by surface waters. A roof in concert with the surface water diversion system currently in place at the site serves to protect surface and ground water from contamination through contact with waste. The transfer equipment is placed on concrete. Except during transfer, the waste is contained in an enclosed transfer trailer at all times. 3.2.1 Erosion Control This facility currently includes a stormwater detention pond located in the southwest corner of the facility which discharges to the Contentnea Creek Watershed. Surface water flows at the site generally convey site runoff to the pond. All site features are inspected regularly for erosion damage and promptly repaired. 3.2.2 Sedimentation Control The topography of the facility diverts surface water away from the facility and towards the on -site pond. Wilson Transfer Station Operations Manual December 2012 Page 3-1 DocuSign Envelope ID: E5937144-DB25-4EE9-B36E-5B891ED2924C 3.3 LEACHATE MANAGEMENT The leachate management system for the transfer station consists of the concrete tipping floor, collection trenches and leachate transmission piping, pumps, valve boxes, valves, and oil/grit/water separator. Leachate is removed from the site through the municipal sewer system. 3.3.1 Leachate Collection Leachate from each area unit is collected in perimeter floor drains that drain to low end(s) of each area. Piping transports leachate to an oil/grit/water separator which releases treated leachate to the local sanitary sewer. The oil/grit/water separator is pumped out quarterly, removing sediment and oil, to prevent system malfunction. 3.3.2 Record Keeping Accurate records will be maintained at the facility in accordance with Section 1.13. 3.4 VECTOR CONTROL The transfer process is well suited for vector control. Except during transfer, the waste is contained in trailers at all times. Spilled waste will be cleaned up during the current operation shift. Except in an emergency, solid waste will not remain on -site for more than 48 hours. A local pest control contractor will be used to further control insects and rodents, if necessary. If vector control becomes a problem, additional measures will be taken to ensure the protection of human health. 3.5 ODOR CONTROL Odorous or potentially odorous materials will be pushed into a transfer truck and covered as soon as possible to avoid odor problems. Additionally, the transfer areas will be cleaned and swept daily and washed down weekly, at a minimum. If odor control becomes a problem, additional measures will be taken to ensure odor control. 3.6 DUST CONTROL Dust related to waste hauler traffic on the access roads will be minimized by using a water truck or a sprinkler system to limit dust on the gravel portion of the road. 3.7 WINDBLOWN WASTE CONTROL All incoming vehicles with waste are required to have their loads covered upon arrival at the site or be fully enclosed. Outbound transfer trailers are also required to be covered. On a daily basis, site personnel will police the site for windblown litter. If needed, litter fences will be installed to intercept windblown waste.

If any portion of the material passes through and drops from the filter within the 5-min 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 problem if the sample is not disturbed. 3.2 Temperature can affect the test results if the test is performed below the freezing point of any liquid in the sample. Tests must be performed above the freezing point and can, but are not required to, exceed room temperature of 25 °C. 4.0 APPARATUS AND MATERIALS 4.1 Conical paint filter -- Mesh number 60 +/- 5% (fine meshed size). Available at local paint stores such as Sherwin-Williams and Glidden. 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 should 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 beaker -- 100-mL. 5.0 REAGENTS 5.1 None. 9095B - 1 Revision 2 November 2004 DocuSign Envelope ID: E5937144-DB25-4EE9-B36E-5B891ED2924C 6.0 SAMPLE COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, AND HANDLING A 100-mL or 100-g representative sample is required for the test. If 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 of 100 mL or 100 g, i.e., 200, 300, 400 mL or 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. If the sample is measured volumetrically, then it should lack major air spaces or voids. 7.0 PROCEDURE 7.1 Assemble test apparatus as shown in Figure 1. 7.2 Place sample in the filter. A funnel may be used to provide support for the paint filter. If the sample is of such light bulk density that it overflows the filter, then the sides of the filter can be extended upward by taping filter paper to the inside of the filter and above the mesh. Settling the sample into the paint filter may be facilitated by lightly tapping the side of the filter as it is being filled. 7.3 In order to assure uniformity and standardization of the test, material such as sorbent pads or pillows which do not conform to the shape of the paint filter should be cut into small pieces and poured into the filter. Sample size reduction may be accomplished by cutting the sorbent material with scissors, shears, a knife, or other such device so as to preserve as much of the original integrity of the sorbent fabric as possible. Sorbents enclosed in a fabric should be mixed with the resultant fabric pieces. The particles to be tested should be reduced smaller than 1 cm (i.e., should be capable of passing through a 9.5 mm (0.375 inch) standard sieve). Grinding sorbent materials should be avoided as this may destroy the integrity of the sorbent and produce many "fine particles" which would normally not be present. 7.4 For brittle materials larger than 1 cm that do not conform to the filter, light crushing to reduce oversize particles is acceptable if it is not practical to cut the material. Materials such as clay, silica gel, and some polymers may fall into this category. 7.5 Allow sample to drain for 5 min into the graduated cylinder. 7.6 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 264.314 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 provided. 9095B - 2 Revision 2 November 2004 DocuSign Envelope ID: E5937144-DB25-4EE9-B36E-5B891ED2924C RING STA FIGURE 1 PAINT FILTER TEST APPARATUS 9095B - 3 Revision 2 November 2004 DocuSign Envelope ID: E5937144-DB25-4EE9-B36E-5B891ED2924C METHOD 9095B PAINT FILTER LIQUIDS TEST Start 7.1 Assemble test apparatus. 7.2 Place sample in filter. 7.3 Allow sample to drain into graduated cylinder. /7.4 Did ._ any test material collect NO Stop in graduated cylinder?
