Currituck County is the owner and Republic Services, LLC is the operator of the Transfer Station. This Plan has been prepared and updated in accordance with the requirements of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ), Division of Waste Management (DWM), Solid Waste Section (SWS), Solid Waste Management Rules codified under Title 15A, Chapter 13, Subchapter B of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 1313) and in response to a letter issued by the NC DEQ DWM SWS on April 20, 2022. This Plan replaces the previous Transfer Station Operations Plan. 1.1 Purpose of Plan The purpose of this Plan is to provide the Owner (County) with a reference document that includes the necessary information and procedures for operation of the County Transfer Station in compliance with the issued permit and all applicable rules concerning Transfer Stations. The plan addresses the following topics: Waste acceptance criteria Facility operations Erosion control requirements Drainage control and stormwater management Disease and vector control Signage and safety requirements Access and security requirements Facility inspections Closure Plan All personnel involved with the management or supervision of the facility are required to review the Plan and to maintain the facility in accordance with the issued permit and applicable rules and regulations. A copy of this Plan will be kept at the Transfer Station. 1.2 Facility Location The Currituck County Transfer Station is accessed via Highway 158 (Shortcut Road) and turning north onto Barco Way, and then right onto Aviation Parkway and then a left on Terminal Road which leads to the entrance of the Transfer Station. The Currituck Transfer Station is located at 216 Airport Road, Maple, North Carolina 27956 — Longitude 76 0' 39.17" Latitude 36 23' 49.68". The location of the facility and surrounding area is shown on the attached Figure 1. The parcel(s) on which the Transfer Station is located are County owned and includes a variety of land uses in addition to the Transfer Station. These uses include: Inactive Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill County Airport Public Works Storage Yard Ponds, large expanses of wooded areas and wetlands CURRITUCK COUNTY TRANSFER STATION OPERATIONS PLAN UPDATE, CURRITUCK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Quible SINCE 1959 Quible & Associates, P.C. ENGINEERING • ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES • PLANNING 90 Church St., Suite B Black Mountain, NC 28711 8466 Caratoke Hwy Bldg. 400 Powells Point, NC 27966 The attached Figure 2-Site Layout/Closure Plan shows the Transfer Station and its main components along with the locations referenced above. 1.3 Service Area The service area for the Transfer Station includes Currituck County, North Carolina, and surrounding areas. Wastes are collected from County convenience centers, commercial and residential routes, industrial and institutional operations, and all other entities within Currituck County. Numerous companies and individuals bring waste to the transfer station. Waste from Dare County and Camden County is received when hauling rates to Currituck are more favorable than hauling to Dare County's transfer station or to Pasquotank County from Camden. 2.0 FACILITY OPERATIONS 2.1 Overview & Facility Components The facility is owned by Currituck County and operated by Republic Services. Waste accepted at the Transfer Station is primarily transported to the East Carolina Environmental Landfill, in Aulander, NC , by Republic Services, Inc. Per DWM SWS policy, waste may be transported to any disposal facility permitted to receive wastes from the service area. Operation of the Transfer Station is conducted in accordance with permit number 2703T-Transfer-1996 and operational requirements set forth in DEQ DWM Solid Waste Rules ( NCAC 13B .0402). The Transfer Station is secured with a locking swing gate that blocks access to the site when the facility is closed and access to the Transfer Station is further restricted by ponds, fencing, woodlands and other natural barriers. Currituck County intends to staff the facility 48 hours per week. The contract with Republic Services of North Carolina, LLC requires the facility to be operated until all waste is removed from the tipping floor each evening, and the company's staff shall remain at the facility until completed. Transfer Station Hours May 1 through September 30: Monday — Friday 8:00 a.m. -- 4:15 p.m. Saturday 8:00 a.m. -- 4:15 p.m. Transfer Station Hours October 1 through April 30: Monday — Friday 8:00 a.m. -- 4:15 p.m. Saturday 8:00 a.m. -- NOON Transfer Station Closed: Sundays New Year's Day Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Day 2.1.1 Transfer Station The transfer station is of metal construction, three sided and roofed. It is equipped with a CURRITUCK COUNTY TRANSFER STATION OPERATIONS PLAN UPDATE, CURRITUCK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA 4 Quible SINCE 1959 Quible & Associates, P.C. ENGINEERING • ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES • PLANNING 90 Church St., Suite B Black Mountain, NC 28711 8466 Caratoke Hwy Bldg. 400 Powells Point, NC 27966 tipping floor and a chute through which materials are transferred to containers for hauling. The operator (Republic Services) utilizes their own equipment to push the refuse from the tipping floor through the chute to fill transfer containers below. Water for cleaning the tipping floor is available via county water and piped to a spigot inside the transfer station's roofed tipping floor. Floor drains convey leachate to six underground containment tanks located behind the transfer station. A truck scale is located on the property and is manned with a scale operator during working hours. Collection vehicles delivering waste to the facility enter via Airport Road and are required to be weighed on the scales. All vehicles entering the tipping building deposit waste on the tipping floor. The entire tipping floor and transfer trailer (on the lower level) are under one roof. The roadways from Airport Road to the scale house and from the scale house to the tipping floor are paved. The transfer station attendant directs vehicles to back into the facility. Adequate area is available in front of the transfer station for drivers to queue their vehicles into a backing maneuver. Once the vehicle is in position the waste will be discharged directly onto the tipping floor. The attendant will inspect the discharged load. The attendant separates out all appliances, tires, propane tanks and other materials from the load before it is pushed into the waiting transfer trailer below. The trailers are removed as they are filled, all trailers are promptly tarped upon being moved to the yard, and before they are taken off the property. Please refer to Figure 2 for locations of the Transfer Station elements. 2.1.2 White Goods and Scrap Metal White goods and scrap metals are taken to the white goods storage area. There is a 100' x 150' concrete pad for this purpose. The County contracts with a third -party vendor to remove refrigerants as necessary. Personnel ensure that white goods with refrigerants are stored upright until all refrigerants are properly evacuated by the third -party vendor. Scrap metal is also removed by a separate third -party vendor. 2.1.3 Yard Debris and Untreated Wood Yard debris, pallets and untreated wood are taken to the yard debris area and are ground and hauled by a third -party vendor to use as mulch. Yard Waste is ground at least twice per year. The Currituck County Transfer Station operates under Rule .1402 (f) (6) as a small facility that receives less than 1,000 cubic yards of brush debris and requires less than two acres to manage the yard waste stream. The Currituck Transfer Station processes less than 6,000 cubic yards of brush debris per quarter. The County will continue to meet the requirement under Rule .1402 (f)(6). 2.1.4 Recyclables Numerous additional recyclables may be managed separately at this site. Currituck County does not have a C&D recycling program (except for clean concrete and brick), therefore, Construction and Demolition (C & D) debris passes through the transfer station and is not separated at the facility. CURRITUCK COUNTY TRANSFER STATION OPERATIONS PLAN UPDATE, CURRITUCK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Quible SINCE 1959 Quible & Associates, P.C. ENGINEERING • ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES • PLANNING 90 Church St., Suite B Black Mountain, NC 28711 8466 Caratoke Hwy Bldg. 400 Powells Point, NC 27966 2.1.5 Tires Tires are placed in containers in the tire storage area and hauled out by a third -party vendor as each container becomes full. The tires are taken to a permitted off -site facility for recycling and/or disposal. 2.2 Personnel, Inspections and Acceptance of Waste The facility is owned by Currituck County and operated by Republic Services. The transfer station will accept only waste it is permitted to receive, and will not accept hazardous or liquid waste, asbestos, or other wastes not accepted at the final disposal facility. The site for final disposal of the waste shall be East Carolina Environmental Landfill, in Aulander, NC. The NCDWM will be notified of any changes in disposal site. Site personnel shall screen incoming loads weekly at a rate of no less than five percent of the average daily waste tonnage reported in the site's annual report for the previous year. Site personnel shall be trained annually to identify liquid waste, hazardous waste, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastes, special wastes as defined in G.S. 130A290(a)(40), wastes banned from landfill disposal and wastes that the intended final disposal site is not permitted by the Division to accept. Waste screening and rejected wastes shall be recorded in writing, and the records shall be kept on site for no less than five years and shall be made available to the Division during a site inspection or upon request. Received waste is screened as each load is dumped on the station floor to evaluate contents. Barrels and drums will not be accepted unless they are empty, have been inspected, and are perforated to ensure that no liquid or hazardous waste is contained therein. Non -conforming waste is not accepted and any loads containing non- conforming waste are refused. During the off-season (October through April), an average of 45 tons of waste per day is received at the transfer station; in the tourist season (Memorial Day to Labor Day) the amounts received increase to approximately 110 tons per day. If unacceptable wastes are found during an inspection or at any time, the driver of the vehicle will be instructed to leave the facility with their unacceptable waste. If unacceptable wastes are inadvertently dumped onto the tipping floor, the waste will be reloaded into the vehicle and removed from the facility by the generator. Examples of unacceptable wastes include hazardous wastes (defined by 15A NCAC 13A), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs, as defined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 761), liquid wastes, wastes required to be recycled by local ordinance, used oil (not placed in the used fluids area), yard trash, white goods (not placed in the used appliances area), antifreeze (not placed in the used fluid area), whole scrap tires (not placed in the scrap tire trailer), medical waste, lead acid batteries (not placed battery shelter), sludge, asbestos -containing material, animal wastes, and containers that are either smoking or emitting noxious vapors. The Transfer Station operator must notify the NC DEQ, SWS Washington Regional Office (252) 946-6481 within 24 hours of receiving non -permitted waste. If a burning or smoldering load is discovered upon arrival at the scale house or the tipping floor, the staff will not allow discharge/unloading of the waste. The vehicle operator will be advised to move the vehicle to a safe area as directed by facility staff. The load must then be discharged CURRITUCK COUNTY TRANSFER STATION OPERATIONS PLAN UPDATE, CURRITUCK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Quible SINCE 1959 Quible & Associates, P.C. ENGINEERING • ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES • PLANNING 90 Church St., Suite B Black Mountain, NC 28711 8466 Caratoke Hwy Bldg. 400 Powells Point, NC 27966 at that location. The local fire department shall be summoned in all instances where a smoldering or burning load is brough to the facility. If the load is burning wood, it must be extinguished by use of an approved fire extinguisher or appropriate soils. If the burning material is not wood, then facility staff should monitor the situation until arrival of fire department personnel. Once the fire has been extinguished and the cause determined, the load should be placed into the transfer trailer for disposal if appropriate, or otherwise removed by the generator and disposed of properly. If hazardous waste is identified in vehicles arriving at the Transfer Station or while on the tipping floor, personnel shall immediately notify the driver and, as appropriate, contact the County Emergency Management personnel and the NC DEQ, SWS. If such an event occurs, the public and any untrained personnel must be kept away from the area until Emergency Management personnel clear the scene. Available information concerning the waste should be provided to Emergency Management personnel and NC SWS staff by the certified operator. 3.0 CONTINGENCY PLAN The operator maintains a spare loader on site and has spare yard trucks in its fleet to cover mechanical breakdowns of primary equipment. The County of Currituck has a 4500-Watt Generac generator on standby to power the transfer station in prolonged power outage situations. A Honda 5500-Watt generator is on hand to power the scales and scale operator office in prolonged power outage situations. 3.1 Emergency Contacts & Events In the event of an emergency, Transfer Station staff must contact: County Emergency Management: 911 Public Works Director: (252) 232-2504 NC DEQ, Solid Waste Section: (252) 946-6481 Emergencies that disturb the essential functions of the Transfer Station and warrant contacting emergency management include, but may not be limited to the following events: Fire, smoke, explosions Spillage of leachate, petroleum products or other hazardous or unknown liquids Extreme weather (e.g. lightning strikes, tornadoes, extreme wind etc.) Power and equipment failures Personnel and user safety issues Medical emergencies Vehicular accidents with injuries or substantial damage to structures, utilities etc. Explosive gas detections In the event of an emergency call: Local Emergency Management: 911 NC DEQ, SWS: (919) 268-1524 NC DEQ, Division of Air Quality: (252) 946-6481 CURRITUCK COUNTY TRANSFER STATION OPERATIONS PLAN UPDATE, CURRITUCK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Quible SINCE 1959 Quible & Associates, P.C. 90 Church St., Suite B ENGINEERING • ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES • PLANNING Black Mountain, NC 28711 8466 Caratoke Hwy Bldg. 400 Powells Point, NC 27966 Currituck County Public Works Director: (252) 232-2504 Fires that occur at the Transfer Station require verbal notice to the Solid Waste Section within 24 hours. Written notification shall be submitted within 15 days to the: Environmental Senior Specialist 1 (919) 268-1524 North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section Field Operations Branch Eastern District 1646 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1646 3.2 Access, Security, and Traffic Control Access to the Transfer Station is controlled by a locking gate at the facility entrance. Priority areas are further secured through perimeter fencing containment and ponds. During operating hours, site personnel control access. As vehicles arrive at the Transfer Station, signage directs vehicles to the scale house. Transfer Station personnel then direct drivers to position their vehicles at the correct unloading location once there is sufficient room to maneuver on the concrete tipping floor or other drop off locations. The tipping area is adequately sized to accommodate multiple vehicles unloading simultaneously. When the contents of the vehicle are emptied, the driver is instructed to move the vehicle away from the tipping floor and exit the Transfer Station following posted signage and marked egress routes. 3.3 Housekeeping and Litter Control Incoming waste must be transported to the Transfer Station in covered or enclosed vehicles. Outgoing transfer trailers must also be covered or enclosed. Throughout, and at the end of each working day, facility personnel shall police the facility for loose litter and collect it. Collected litter should be placed in correct containers for proper disposal. The tipping floor is cleaned and rinsed at least once per day or more often as needed. Trailers containing waste that remain on site temporarily shall be parked under the Transfer Station building or covered with a waterproof covering and contained within a leakproof trailer. In addition, any loaded transfer trailer remaining on site shall be parked so that the rear of the trailer is higher than the front. Leachate collection containers (troughs, barrels or similar) shall be placed under the rear of the trailer to collect any leachate and prevent release of leachate to the environment. Leachate collection containers shall be emptied into the leachate collection system after use. 3.4 Disease and Vector Control Daily removal of waste in conjunction with daily housekeeping procedures is required by the NC DEQ, SWS and effectively prevents development of vector -related problems. Regular washdown of Transfer Station surfaces is another effective practice utilized to prevent disease and vector issues. 3.5 Dust and Fire Control Traffic is controlled at low speeds of less than 10 miles per hour within the facility for safety and to reduce dust. Paved road surfaces in most areas of the facility also reduce the potential for dust.

ENGINEERING • ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES • PLANNING 90 Church St., Suite B Black Mountain, NC 28711 8466 Caratoke Hwy Bldg. 400 Powells Point, NC 27966 Fire suppression equipment shall be provided to control accidental fires and arrangements have been made with the local fire protection agency to immediately provide fire protection when needed. The transfer station building has been equipped with hose bibs located on the wall of the facility and an appropriate number of fire extinguishers to effectively control accidental fires. Fires at this facility require verbal notice to the Division of Solid Waste within 24 hours and written notification shall be submitted within 15 days. Notification shall be submitted to the Environmental Senior Specialist: John College, john.college@ncdenr.gov. Telephone: (919) 268-1524.4.0 Environmental Requirements 3.6 Drainage Control and Wastewater Collection Wastewater generation is minimized by the metal -roofed building that covers the tipping floor and loading bay. Wastewater flow at the Transfer Station consists of small volumes of washdown water and any leachate present in dumped waste. A trench drain is located along the entrance edge of the sloped tipping floor and all wastewater drains by gravity to pipes and underground tanks. The trench drains are cleaned out daily following the cleanup of the Transfer Station floor. Leachate tanks are inspected daily, and a local septic tank pumping service is contracted to empty the tanks and transport wastewater to a permitted location for proper disposal as needed. 3.7 Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Areas adjacent to the Transfer Station are graded to direct stormwater away from the facility. Grassy herbaceous vegetation shall be maintained on soil areas and slopes to help prevent erosion. Stormwater is generally conveyed through conveyance and erosion control measures or stormwater control measures to flat vegetated areas to promote infiltration, detain runoff, and slow stormwater velocity. Stormwater on the property naturally drains to ditches, ponds and wooded wetlands areas. Paved areas near the Transfer Station are also sloped for positive drainage away from the facility. Ponding water areas shall not be allowed to persist if they form. Gutters and downspouts divert stormwater away from structures into natural or constructed drainage conveyances. The certified Operator will periodically inspect these features to confirm their quality, function and need for maintenance when necessary. Erosion, sedimentation, and stormwater related problems shall be repaired as soon as possible. 4.0 FACILITY INSPECTIONS Routine maintenance inspections of the facility are conducted daily by a certified Operator and documented monthly. The inspections shall document the condition of the site (e.g., roads, scales, Transfer Station, erosion -control features, litter, etc.) as well as any operational issues observed. At a minimum, the inspections shall include the following items: Transfer trailers Building and foundations Retaining walls and push walls Fire extinguishers Electrical systems CURRITUCK COUNTY TRANSFER STATION OPERATIONS PLAN UPDATE, CURRITUCK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Quible SINCE 1959 Quible & Associates, P.C. 90 Church St., Suite B ENGINEERING • ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES • PLANNING Black Mountain, NC 28711 8466 Caratoke Hwy Bldg. 400 Powells Point, NC 27966 Floor drains and yard hydrants Road conditions Scale and scale house Drainage ways (natural and constructed) Recordkeeping Cleanliness inspections Leachate tanks (records should be kept with regards to hauler, volume, and disposal of leachate) If unsatisfactory conditions are noted during any inspection or by any Transfer Station employee at any time, the concerns must be reported to the Operator and/or Currituck County Public Works Director within 24-hours by phone. If any threats to either human safety or the environment are identified, immediate action must be taken to correct the situation. If necessary, operations at the Transfer Station should be suspended temporarily until the proper corrective actions have been taken. In the unlikely event of a severe accident or emergency, the proper authorities must be notified, and off -site support requested. If hazardous conditions, such as roadway icing, flooding, or some natural disaster at the Subtitle D Landfill occur and waste is not able to be accepted at the receiving landfill, the Landfill waste hauling contractor must notify the Transfer Station Operator or Currituck County Public Works Director immediately. If such notification is not properly received, the Landfill waste -hauling contractor will be responsible for any ensuing regulatory violations or operational costs. 5.0 ELECTRONICS MANAGEMENT Electronics are accepted at County Convenience centers and contained inside metal storage containers. The containers are brought to the Transfer Station and then subsequently removed by a third -party vendor. The Transfer Station does not accept electronics in any other manner. 6.0 CLOSURE PLAN 6.1 Introduction In accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0406 Closure Requirements, Currituck County provides the following schedule and documentation of a closure of the Currituck County Transfer Station should closure ever be warranted. A plan that illustrates the areas where specific closure activities will occur is included as Figure 3-Currituck County Landfill Site Layout/Closure Plan 6.2 Notification Pursuant to 15A NCAC 13B .0406 (a) (1) Currituck County shall submit written notification of planned closure to the Division no less than 90 days prior to the proposed date of cessation of waste acceptance at the Currituck County Transfer Station.
