LENOIR COUNTY SOLID WASTE OPERATIONS PLAN
TRANSFER STATION PERMIT # 54-05T
I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
This operations plan has been created on behalf of the Lenoir County Department of Solid Waste
for the Solid Waste Handling and Transfer Facility (Permit No. 5405T-TRANSFER-1998).
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 Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Transfer Facility transports waste from this facility to the East
Carolina Environmental Regional Landfill, a lined waste management facility operating under
Permit No. 0803-MSWLF-1993, located in Aulander, NC, Bertie County. Zoning approval was
acquired when the MSW transfer facility was originally permitted in 1997 and is still in compliance
with any local zoning ordinances. See Appendix 1 for Letter of Zoning Verification.
II. FACILITY LOCATION
The Lenoir County MSW Transfer Facility is owned and operated by Lenoir County, and is located
approximately 4 miles east of LaGrange, NC on Hodges Farm Road.

IV. FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The transfer station building consists of a metal building constructed on a concrete slab with a
retaining wall. The building is enclosed on three sides, with one side left open with access at the
entrance for the solid waste truck traffic to dispose of waste on to the concrete tipping floor. One
of the enclosed sides provides an entrance for service vehicles to the tipping floor, which
encompasses an area of approximately 5,850 square feet (75 feet by 78 feet). The building
structure, which is elevated above the surrounding area, includes guttering around the perimeter
of the roof line that collects precipitation and directs any collected stormwater away from the
facility and towards engineered stormwater control features.
Located to the rear of the transfer station building entrance is the loading bay through which wastes
are dispose into transfer trailers located below the tipping floor. Incoming loads are discarded onto
the concrete tipping floor where they are randomly inspected for unacceptable wastes and are then
compacted into the transfer trailer located on the lower level. Any solid waste not removed from
the transfer station will be stored in an enclosed transfer trailer overnight.
Wastewater that is generated from normal activities and from regular washing of the tipping floor
and loading bay floor is collected through drains in the lower -level loading bay floor. These drains
empty into the on -site holding tank which is monitored and pumped out as needed by a licensed
septage hauler and disposed of at the Kinston Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
V. SOURCE, TYPES, AND QUANTITIES OF WASTE
The MSW handling and transfer facility will be used solely for the handling and conveyance of
municipal solid waste generated within Lenoir County, the source of which will be from
residential, commercial, and industrial facilities located within Lenoir County. The facility will
only accept solid waste as defined in G.S. 130A — 290(35). Any hazardous wastes, liquid wastes
and other prohibited waste materials found at the transfer facility are returned to the waste hauler,
or are removed from the tipping floor and held for later disposal by the appropriate contracted
hauler. The waste is transferred to the site in publicly and privately owned vehicles of various
types and sizes.
2

Waste is delivered to Lenoir County's Solid Waste Transfer Station in county, municipal, public
and privately owned vehicles. Based on the Fiscal Year FY 2021-22 annual report the facility
received a total of 29,293.26 tons of solid waste. Approximately 93.9 tons per day of waste on
average are transferred through the facility, based on a five -and -a -half -day week. The transfer rate
is expected to remain constant relative to population growth. Thus, a proportional increase in waste
quantities should be expected as Lenoir County's population increases.
VI. OPERATIONS PLAN
A. General
The Lenoir County Transfer Station is open Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., and
on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. The facility is closed in 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 and Christmas holidays.
The Scale house and Office are open during standard operating hours. Waste collection and
transportation vehicles transporting MSW are weighed in at the scale house upon arrival, and again
weighed upon departure. Signs are 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,
screened as described in Section F., and moved into the transfer trailer. A certified operator will
be on site at all times, during operational hours. The operator will keep a log of all the daily
activities. 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:
• Lenoir County accepts used tires daily. Tires are stacked by the pubic into the storage
trailer. Scrap tire forms are kept by the certified scale house operator. When the trailer is
full, the County will contact Central Carolina Tire and have it switched out.
• Used lead -acid batteries are collected in a designated location. These batteries are stored on
a wooden pallet adjacent to the maintenance building, and are removed monthly or as
needed.
• Used oil is collected and stored in an aboveground 500-gallon steel storage tank located
near and to the North of the maintenance building, until disposal. Oil filters are collected
and removed periodically by the used oil vendor.
• Yard waste such as grass clippings, leaves, brush, and other debris is disposed of in the
permitted area. Pallets are placed into a pile separate from brush and yard waste and ground
as needed.
3

• Old scrap metal material and appliances are collected in an area designated for scrap metals.
These materials are processed and removed 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 discarded materials are
disposed of at the same time as the scrap metal.
• Televisions, monitors, computer equipment, and other misc. electronics are placed on
pallets or in Gaylord boxes at the electronics recycling area.
B. Equipment
The equipment, which is used at the MSW Transfer Station, is owned and operated by Lenoir
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-926M Wheel Loader
• 7 Open -Top Transfer Trailers
• 2 Yard Tractors
• 1 Backhoe loader
Waste unloaded onto the tipping floor will be pushed with the front-end wheel loader directly into
the open top trailers. The operator will compress and pack the load inside the trailers, which are
located in the lower level of the transfer station. Based on the current waste volume rates, the
transfer station can be managed with the current equipment; 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).
All equipment and storage containers will be maintained to ensure they are leak resistant, or stored
to prevent the release of leachate through covering or in a manner that allows any leachate to be
collected and disposed of properly, as described further in Section D.
C. Personnel
County staff will be present at the scale house to weigh vehicles as they enter and exit the facility.
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 trained annually in the
identification of liquid wastes, hazardous wastes, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) wastes, special
11

wastes and wastes banned from the landfill, safety issues, 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.
Staff will receive no less than eight (8) hours of training updates annually that includes review of
the operations plan and permit documents. Documentation of the training will be maintained in
the operating record and be made available to the DWM upon written request in accordance with
15A NCAC 13B .0405 (a)(7).
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 scale house and other
structures. Vehicles hauling MSW will back up to the transfer station loading bay and unload onto
the tipping floor. A visual inspection will then be performed by the transfer station attendant to
ensure only authorized waste is accepted. Waste will be pushed and compacted into the open top
transfer trailer through the loading bay. Once full, the trailer will be removed from the loading bay
to the staging area where will be covered with and automatic tarp that is attached to the trailer prior
to transport to the waste to the East Carolina Environmental Regional Landfill in Bertie County.
An empty trailer will replace the departing trailers.
Outgoing trailers will 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 NCDEQ Division of Waste
Management.
All transfer trailers will be leak resistant and will be maintained and stored to prevent the release
of leachate into the environment. In the event water (leachate) is observed dripping from the
transfer trailer while in the loading bay, it will remain in the bay where the water can be captured
by the leachate drain system until the water has dissipated. In the event that a trailer is leaking
water in the staging area, a water proof tarp will be spread on the ground to capture the leaking
water. Once the leak has stopped, the captured water will be emptied into the drain in the loading
bay. Trailers observed to be leaking will be inspected and taken out of service as needed to ensure
leachate is not released to the environment.

E. Wastewater Management
The tipping floor will be cleaned daily by using a push broom. The tipping floor, push walls and
truck loading areas will be pressure washed at least monthly as required by 15A NCAC 13B
.0405(a)(11). The remainder of the facility including the building structure sidewalls and material
storage areas will be pressure washed no less than twice per year. Records of the pressure washing
activity will be kept on file and will be made available for review during inspections.
Wastewater generated as a result of daily operations and periodic cleaning of the facility will be
collected by drains in the lower loading bay. These drains are then piped into a pre -fabricated
1,500-gallon concrete holding tank through drains in the lower loading bay. The tank is visually
monitored monthly and if necessary, leachate is hauled at that time; otherwise, it will be pumped
out monthly and hauled to the City of Kinston's wastewater treatment plant. See Appendix 2 for
the City of Kinston's Non -significant Industrial User Pretreatment Permit.
F. Waste Screening
Lenoir County will visually check each load for unacceptable material found in the waste stream
at the scale, while unloading their shipment onto the concrete tipping floor, and before loading into
the transport trailer. Any unacceptable material found will be removed and held for proper
disposal. If a banned waste item is brought to the facility, the truck and driver will be detained and
will be directed to remove the waste from the facility, and taken away for proper disposal.
Undesirable or prohibited waste that is discovered after the driver has departed, or where the owner
of the waste cannot be determined, will be removed from the tipping floor and stored until proper
disposal of the unacceptable waste can be arranged. Wastes containing hazardous wastes,
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) or asbestos containing wastes are not accepted for disposal. In
the case of hazardous waste, the County's Emergency Management Personnel [phone] will
determine who and how the waste is disposed.
Random load inspections will be performed to abide by at least the minimum requirement of 5%
of the waste. Waste screening will be conducted at least weekly at a rate of no less than 5% of the
average daily waste tonnage based on the previous year's annual report as required by 15A NCAC
13B .0405 (a)(8). Loads will be checked at random. 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.
0

The waste loads will be examined for prohibited and/or hazardous waste including but not limited
to:
• Asbestos containing material
• Wastes containing Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB's)
• 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
Posted signs will inform facility users of prohibited waste. If inadvertent receipt of these wastes
occurs, personnel will be available to isolate the material, take the appropriate measures, including
returning the waste to the generator or removing it for appropriate disposal, and notifying the
regulatory authorities immediately.
The shipment will also be examined to ensure the waste being transported for disposal is
permitted at the landfill facility whose service area includes Lenoir County.
Waste screening inspection results will be recorded on the Waste Screening Form (Appendix 3),
and kept on file in the station office. Records of waste screening activities and unacceptable,
rejected waste will be maintained and will be made available to the Division of Waste Management
(DWM) for inspection.
G. Hazards, Nuisance Control and Contingency Plan
Hazard and nuisance control for a MSW transfer station is vital for proper management and
efficient operation. The key factors to successful management of any waste transfer process
include prohibiting unauthorized waste materials, and managing fire, odors, disease, vectors, noise,
dust, and litter. The Material Screening process conforms to 15A NCAC 13B.0405(a)(8).
Key elements of this plan consist o£
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.
7

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. Staff will receive no less than eight (8) hours of training updates annually that
includes review of the operations plan and permit documents. Documentation of the training will
be maintained in the operating record and be made available to the DWM upon written request in
accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0405 (a)(7).
The Operations Manager or other personnel trained to identify and manage hazardous and liquid
wastes will administer inspections. Transfer station operators will be trained as SWANA certified
Transfer Station Operations Specialists by a qualified person, and will be onsite during operational
hours.
Fire: Open burning of solid waste at the facility is prohibited. 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 firefighting procedure and fire prevention. No flammable liquids will be
stored in or around the MSW Transfer Station. A hose and water supply will be provided inside
the facility for fire -fighting measures.
Incoming loads that appear to have "hot spots" or a fire shall bypass the scales and immediately
unload their loads on the tipping floor away from any other waste. The hot spot will be separated
from the other waste within the load using the onsite loader. Once the hot spot is separated, it
will be smothered with water, soil or other fire retardants. Once it is determined that there are no
longer hot areas, it can then be loaded in the transfer trailer for disposal.
In the case of a fire or emergency response, the local Fire Department will be contacted by calling
911. Within 24 hours of a fire the DWM must be notified, followed by submittal of a written
report to the DWM within 15 days of the fire in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0405(a)(3).
County staff should use the Fire Occurrence Notification Form (See Appendix 4) for reporting
purposes.
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 at the
end of each day per 15A NCAC 13B. 0402 (7).
Odors and Vectors: Measures taken to control odors and disease vectors include immediate
removal of waste, 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 workday.

Dust: The access roads and the areas adjacent to the MSW Transfer Station are paved or covered
with gravel, to help lessen the problems associated with dust. A water truck will wet the area as
needed.
Noise: The tract of land on which the MSW Transfer Facility is located has ample buffers,
including hills and trees, to soften most noise pollution. Current levels are not expected to change.
Contingences: Following natural disasters, the transfer station has become a regional facility
where nearby municipalities outside of Lenoir County have been able to haul their waste for
disposal because access to their landfills has been compromised due to the natural disaster.
The transfer station itself has not been affected by any recent flooding events that have widely
affected the region. All of the municipalities within the County have been able to dispose of their
waste at the transfer station even though their normal routes to the transfer station have been altered
due to flooding.
In the case of any electrical failure, the County has a standby generator that is used to operate the
scales and scale house. In the case of equipment breakdown, rental equipment is available with
short notice to replace equipment that does not operate.
Hazardous and/or banned waste that has been discovered on the tipping floor after the hauler has
departed the facility will be separated from the other wastes and stored on the tipping floor. If the
waste is hazardous waste, the County's Emergency Management Office will be contacted
immediately, at phone number [phone], and they will determine who and how to dispose
of this waste.
Any waste that is banned from the landfill and that is not a hazardous waste, will also be stored on
the tipping floor, and at the end of the working day placed in the proper container or site location
for disposal and/or recycling. Examples may include tires, pallets, used batteries, etc.
Haulers bringing waste from areas that are outside of the areas permitted to dispose of the waste
at the transfer station, if discovered, will be refused at the scales and the waste haulers will be
directed to leave the facility to dispose of their waste at the proper facility.
I. Record keeping
Hard copies of daily transactions at the Transfer Station are kept in files at the Scale House. The
operating record will contain the following information:
1. Records of waste inspections, screenings, rejected wastes, monitoring results, certifications
0

of training, and training procedures required by the rules at 15A NCAC 13B .0400;
2. Amounts by weight of solid waste received at the site including county and state of
generation, in accordance with G.S. 130A-309.09D;
3. Demonstrations, certifications, findings, monitoring, testing, or analytical data required by
the rules at15A NCAC 13B .0400;
4. Closure or post -closure care monitoring, testing, or analytical data if required;
5. Cost estimates and financial assurance documentation required by 15A NCAC 13B .1800;
6. Site audit records, compliance records, maintenance records, and inspection reports;
7. A copy of the current Permit to Construct and Permit to Operate;
8. A copy of the plans that have been incorporated into the permit in accordance with Rule
.0404(d);
9. A Corrective Action Plan, if required by 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
Records identified in Item 1 and 2 will be maintained for a period of no less than 5 years. Records
identified in Item 3-9 will be maintained for the life of the site.
