The name of the proposed facility is McGill Anson Composting Facility (Facility). The Facility will be classified as a Large, Type 4 compost facility, per North Carolina regulations. The location of the proposed facility is at Dozer Drive, Polkton, NC 28135, in Anson County. This permit application addresses the requirements specified in 15A NCAC Chapter 13B, Section .1400. 1.1 PROJECT CONTACTS The Applicant/owner contact is: Kate Sullivan ksullivan@mcgillcompost.com 1919.600.9926 McGill Environmental Facilities, LLC 634 Christian Chapel Church Road New Hill, NC 27562 The Engineer/compost consultant contact is: Matt Brokaw, PE mbrokaw@scsengineers.com 1919.604.4342 SCS Engineers, PC 3801 Lake Boone Trail, Suite 410 Raleigh, NC 27607 McGill will be the landowner of the site of the proposed compost facility. They have entered into an agreement with the landowner to purchase the newly subdivided parcel immediately upon issuance of the Solid Waste Composting Permit. McGill will also be the operator of the facility and will receive any applicable invoices related to the facility permit. 1.2 MCGILL BACKGROUND McGill is pleased to announce its intent to develop a state-of-the-art composting facility located off Dozer Drive in the Town of Polkton, in Anson County. McGill specializes in manufacturing premium compost, mulch, and soil products through the processing and recycling of residuals from municipal, industrial and agribusiness sources. McGill also designs, builds, and operates state-of-the-art indoor compost facilities — either McGill -owned or customer -owned. All McGill operations provide reliable, weather -independent production year- round. For more than 30 years, the firm has been operating industrial -scale composting facilities, and in that time, has earned a reputation for sustained, reliable, and cost-effective service. It has a well - McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 1 www.scsengineers.com established customer base in bulk sales to the landscaping, construction, and erosion -control industries, as well as bulk and bagged sales to soil products retailers. The McGill Environmental product line includes composts and compost -based mixes and blends, including enriched topsoil and compost formulated for conventional agriculture. McGill takes in organic materials from local sources that would likely otherwise be landfill -bound and transforms the materials into premium compost products with a variety of beneficial uses. McGill's line of branded bulk products includes McGill SoilBuilder, McGill SportsTurf, McGill LandscapeMix, McGill ErosionControl and McGill AG. Each has been developed to meet the needs of specific professional markets. The company has over 100 authorized resellers in the Carolinas and Mid -Atlantic states, including landscape supply yards, landscape contractors and erosion control companies. McGill is a proud participant of the US Composting Council's Seal of Testing Assurance program, which dictates product quality standards and testing requirements. 1.3 FACILITY BACKGROUND McGill has an agreement with the landowner to purchase a 30.2-acre parcel (portion of Parcel 6445- 00-86-1576) in Anson County and intends to develop an indoor, Type 4 compost facility. The McGill Anson Compost Facility will compost approximately 130,000 wet tons of residuals each year (up to 170,000 tons of total organic material, including amendments/bulking agents). Incoming feedstocks and operations are further detailed in Sections 3 and 4 of this application, respectively. The McGill Anson Compost Facility will follow a similar model as that of previous McGill facilities in North Carolina, such as the Merry Oaks facility located in New Hill, and includes various updates and improvements. All feedstocks will be pre -approved by McGill to ensure compliance with regulatory and internal acceptance protocols. McGill facilities are not open to the general public and offer no "drop-off" services. Biodegradable materials from Zero Waste events (food, paper, cardboard, biodegradable plastics) are also accepted on a pre -approved basis. The McGill Anson Compost Facility will be enclosed to increase process control and weather independence, and minimize environmental exposure. Materials will be off-loaded an enclosed receiving area, and trucks will be washed out after dumping to prevent track out. All processing will be performed under roof in tightly -controlled conditions to maximize efficiency. Composting will be achieved through the use of Aerated Static Piles (ASP) in several controlled processing bays. Exhaust fans will direct processing air through a biofilter for treatment. Only finished, saleable product and amendment materials will be stored outside. The finished compost will be sold through distributors to customers in the sports turf management, agricultural, landscaping and erosion control industries. 2.0 SITING REQUIREMENTS The McGill Anson Compost Facility (Facility) is sited in accordance with Section .1404 for Solid Waste Compost Facilities, as demonstrated herein. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 2 www.scsengineers.com 2.1 FACILITY LOCATION The Facility will be located at Dozer Drive in Polkton, NC 28135. The proposed parcel is a 30.2-acre subdivision portion of previous 100-acre Parcel I.D. 6445-00-86-1576. The site is in Anson County, and the current county zoning classification of the parcel is Unclassified. The surrounding area is Light Industrial. The current owners of the property are Donald L. Scarborough & David A. Griffin, and the parcel is largely undeveloped, with no previous solid waste activities or permits for the site. Access to the facility will be from existing Dozer Drive, off of US Highway 74. From the new McGill parcel boundary to the center of incorporated Town of Polkton is approximately 1-1/2 miles. The site is adjacent to the existing, and active, Anson County Landfill, owned and operated by Waste Connections. The landfill is directly to the northeast of the proposed McGill compost site and is a permitted MSW landfill facility, Solid Waste Permit #04-03. Figure 1 in Appendix A presents an aerial location map, detailing the vicinity of the site and adjacent properties, structures, and general topography within a one half -mile radius. 2.2 SITE DESCRIPTION Existing conditions of the 30.2-acre proposed McGill parcel can be described as previously undeveloped, partially wooded land, generally sloping at 5 to 15% from Dozer drive to the rear of the property. The majority of site soils are classified as Badin-Tarrus complex, which is a well -drained, moderately permeable, silty soil. Figure 2 in Appendix A presents a copy of the USGS quadrangle map for the area, with the proposed site identified. The McGill parcel does not contain any perennial streams or significant water bodies, however the entire site drains to Brown Creek through a series of intermittent streams and low-lying swales. Brown Creek is approximately 2,000' from the property boundary of the site, which has a 100-yr floodplain that extends up to 200' from the site. Refer to Figure 3 in Appendix A for a copy of the FEMA Flood map, illustrating the limits of the property and extents of the nearest floodplain. This complies with Rule .1404 (a)(1) of the code. A preliminary wetlands evaluation was performed for the site (Pilot Environmental, Inc. on 12/19/22), and did not find any wetlands in potential conflict with the development of the facility. The only potential wetlands identified was along the north-northeast property boundary at an intermittent stream. This area will not be impacted as part of the project and is well outside of the proposed compost operations limits. Figure 4 in Appendix A presents the preliminary wetlands map. As discussed previously, the site is unclassified zoning, in an area of Anson County that is largely industrial. Members of Anson County Board of Commissioners reviewed the proposed location of the facility and voted unanimously to support the proposed Facility and location. Refer to Appendix C for letter of documentation from the County Board of Commissioners, noting zoning and local land use requirements, as well as a copy of the current survey plat. The site is not located over a closed -out disposal area, and therefore complies with Rule .1404 (a)(7). McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 3 www.scsengineers.com 2.3 PROPOSED FACILITY The Facility will be located on the recently subdivided and recorded 30.2-acre parcel. The Facility includes an approximately 120,000 square foot enclosed building for all compost operations, except storage of bulking agents and finished compost material. Scales and an approximately 1,000 square foot office building are also part of the site. The compost operations area will consist of 19 acres of the McGill parcel, as illustrated by the site plan in Appendix B. The operations area includes all unloading areas, mixing/processing areas, composting and curing areas, screening, and feedstock/amendment storage areas. The building itself will include an unloading/receiving area, primary processing and curing bays, two screening areas, a blending area, and will be constructed entirely of concrete and corrosion -protected steel. The composting bays will include thirteen (13) primary processing bays and seven (7) curing bays, each with their own air supply system and temperature probe, controlled and displayed remotely. At times, McGill may utilize some curing bays for processing or processing bays for curing. The bay design is the same and there is no variation between processing bays and curing bays. The process will use the Aerated Static Pile (ASP) composting method within the concrete bays. Each bay has the capacity of up to 1,000 cubic yards of mixed feedstocks. The building will be ventilated, through large exhaust fans that direct processing air through an appropriately sized biofilter for treatment. The Facility is designed to meet McGill's desired capacity (130,000 wet tons of residuals per year), as well as all local, State, and Federal regulations and siting requirements. The proposed facility also meets the buffer requirements set forth in Section .1404, described as follows: • The compost operations area includes a 100-foot buffer between the McGill property boundary and the compost area. • The minimum 500-foot buffer between the compost area and nearest dwelling/residence is exceeded. There is more than 2,000 feet between the McGill compost area and the closest residence, at 887 Old Prison Camp Road. (Waste Connections has an office building located at the Anson County Landfill that is 600' away.) • No wells are known to be located within the 100-foot buffer zone. The nearest wells are landfill monitoring wells, at approximately 1,300' away. • The minimum 50-foot buffer between the compost and perennial streams or rivers is exceeded. There are no perennial streams located on the McGill parcel, and the nearest perennial stream is Brown Creek, at approximately 2,000' away. • The facility is located in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0200, Classification and Water Quality Standards Applicable to Surface Waters in North Carolina. • No portions of the compost facility are located over a closed -out disposal area. • A 25-foot distance is maintained between the compost area and berm/swales. • The nearest existing water body to the McGill compost area is a constructed pond at the Anson County Landfill, approximately 800' away. Please refer to Figure 1, Aerial Site Map, in Appendix A and the site plan in Appendix B for visual confirmation of the buffer requirements described above. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 4 www.scsengineers.com The proposed Facility also meets the groundwater and operations area pad requirements set forth in Rule .1404 (a)(10). Operations at the site will not contravene the groundwater standards in 15A NCAC 02L. The compost operations will take place on a non -soil pad, consisting of reinforced concrete slab several inches thick, with a permeability coefficient of about 1x10-9 cm/sec, and consistent with requirements of Rule .1404 (a)(10)(C). Process wastewater (leachate), if any, will not be discharged from the compost operations area or permeate through the concrete pad. Finished product will be stored outside on a clay pad, with binder, or gravel base. A minimum 12-inch separation between the finished compost pad and seasonal high groundwater will be maintained. 3.0 DESIGN PLAN The McGill Anson Compost Facility is designed based on other successful McGill sites in North Carolina and other states, with upgrades and improvements from their over 30 years of operating experience. The Facility is designed in accordance with Sections .1402, .1404, and .1406 of the regulations for Solid Waste Compost Facilities. 3.1 INCOMING FEEDSTOCKS The materials to be accepted at the McGill Anson Composting Facility will include biosolids and other pre -approved sludges, therefore the facility is classified as a Large Type 4 compost facility. Other materials to be brought to the McGill Composting Facility will include organic municipal waste diverted from the landfill and McGill -approved residual wastes. In addition, McGill will receive deliveries of wood, horticultural and yard waste, and clean, unpainted pallets to be ground and used as amendments for the compost process. The Facility will not accept any wastes defined as Special Handling Waste or as Hazardous Waste, or any waste stream that contains household hazardous items. In general, bulk waste will be accepted. Incidental, minor amounts of consumer packaging may be included, but not desired. Minor amounts of contaminants such as glass, plastics and inorganics can be managed by housekeeping practices. No radioactive, hazardous, chemotherapeutic or infectious materials are/or will be stored or processed at the site. Exhibit 1 presents a table of anticipated feedstock materials to be received and composted at the Facility, along with approximate annual tonnage. All materials will be from pre -approved sources and the Facility will not be open to the general public. McGill New Permit Application — Anson Page 5 www.scsengineers.com Exhibit 1. Feedstock Material Estimated Tons/Year Analytical Sample Data Available Biosolids (Wastewater Treatment Plant Sludge) 52,000 Representative (See Appendix D) Approved Industrial Sludges 16,500 Representative (See Appendix D) Wood Ash 16,000 N/A Food Waste 26,000 N/A Grease 6,500 Representative (See Appendix D) Alum Sludge (Water Treatment Plant Residual) 6,500 Representative (See Appendix D) Grass Clippings 6,500 N/A Yard Waste 20,000 N/A Wood Pallets/Lumber 20,000 N/A Feedstock sources will be local, pre -approved commercial, industrial, and municipal sources. Exact sources are currently in the identification and negotiation processes with McGill at the time of this permit application, and can be provided to the Department at a later date, upon request. Analytic data for representative samples of wastewater treatment plant biosolids and other industrial sludges, composted at similar McGill facilities, can be found in Appendix D. Prior to acceptance at the facility, McGill will analyze residual feedstock material with regard to composting operations and regulatory limits. The generator of the waste material will provide certified lab analysis to McGill, and then McGill will submit a New Feedstock Approval Request form to NCDEQ for review, as necessary. A blank copy of this form, along waste generator laboratory analysis requirements are provided in Appendix E. Because McGill approves and works closely with the sources of the material, there is little seasonal variation expected with the incoming material. McGill plans to operate the facility at or near capacity year-round. Therefore, to estimate the monthly or weekly tonnages, one can simply take the annual tonnages provided in Exhibit 1 and divide accordingly. 3.2 FACILITY DESIGN AND CAPACITY The approximately 120,000 sf compost building will be constructed of reinforced concrete and metal. The metal portion of the building will have corrosion protection, where appropriate. All composting activities will occur within this building. The compost process will be regulated electronically by a computerized system and will be overseen by trained operators. When constructed, the facility will be one contiguous structure with process areas named for the activity that occurs there. Moving material between facility process operations will be accomplished using wheel loaders. Refer to the site plan, in Appendix B, which illustrates the different process areas, as described below. McGill New Permit Application — Anson Page 6 www.scsengineers.com Scales Incoming material will be delivered to the site in approved vehicles. All trucks entering the site will be required to weigh-in on the scale. Trucks leaving the site with finished product will also be required to weigh-in on the scale prior to leaving the facility. Receiving Area Trucks will off-load into the receiving area via reverse -loading dock. All organic waste material will be unloaded in this 3,500 sf area. Prior to leaving the site, the beds and tires of the delivery trucks will be washed to prevent track out of product. All truck wash water will be collected in the receiving area and contained for use within the composting process. Blending Area Blending of material will occur in the 25,000 sf area located adjacent to the receiving area. Organic waste material from the receiving area and amendment material from stockpiles located outside of the building will be brought into the blending area, using front end loaders. The material will be blended on the floor of this area using wheel loaders. Primary Processing Bays and Curing Bays Composting will occur within the primary processing bays and curing bays. There will be a total of 20, 30-foot by 90-foot bays designated for this purpose. Material will be placed no higher than 12 feet (typically 10 feet) within the bays. Each aerated bay will be independent from the other bays. The combined capacity of the processing and curing bays totals approximately 540,000 cubic feet. Screening Areas There will be two areas utilized within the building for screening of composted product: a primary screening area, to which product is sent after primary processing, and a secondary screening area, to which product is sent after curing. The dimensions of the primary processing area, are planned to be 105 feet by 90 feet, equating to 9,450 sf of useable space. The secondary processing, or final screening, area will be only slightly smaller at 7,000 sf, measuring 50 feet by 140 feet. All material in this area will be screened through Liwell screeners (or equal) that operate on 3 phase power. Material passing through the screens will be transported to the next phase of the process. Overs will be transported back to the blending area to be blended with incoming wastes and amendments. Overs from the final screen is considered a sellable product, but the overs can be further processed if there is a higher demand for finer compost. Storage Areas Finished product will either be stored in the curing bays until distributed for sale or moved to a storage area. The 150 feet by 100 feet storage area will be located directly adjacent to the building. McGill will also construct and additional storage area of up to 1-1/2 acres, on an appropriate gravel base or clay pad, for additional product storage as needed. Combined, these storage areas will offer storage for approximately 20,000 cubic yards of stockpiled finished product. Design Capacity The facility capacity is the volume, or throughput of composted material, per year. The basis of the design capacity is the size of the thirteen (13) processing bays and the duration of the composting process, using McGill ASP. There are (13) primary composting bays and the seven (7) curing bays. The compost must go through both the primary and curing bays to complete the composting process. A curing batch is comprised of 3-4 screened primary bays, so the processing bays are used for the purpose of this design capacity calculation, as they would be the limiting factor. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 7 www.scsengineers.com The bays are 30-foot by 90-foot and filled to a height of 10- to 12- feet, which equates to about 1,000 CY of material each. Within the 1,000 cubic yards is 225 tons of waste, and the remainder is amendment and overs. The duration of the McGill composting process is approximately 8 days for primary composting and 15 days for curing. Making the design capacity calculation the following: Capacity = (_8 35 days) x 13 bays x 225 tons = Approx.133,456 Tons/Year The calculated estimate for the McGill Anson design capacity is approximately 133,000 tons per year. The facility is expected to be operational for more than twenty-five (25) years. 3.3 COMPOST PROCESS OVERVIEW AND RECIPE Incoming material will be delivered to the site in approved vehicles. All waste vehicles will be weighed in on the McGill scales. Paperwork will be reviewed and processed to identify the source of the load. All waste will be off-loaded to the receiving area inside the building. Wood, yard, horticultural waste, and other amendments will be delivered to the site and stockpiled outside of the composting facility. Ground material will be stockpiled outside of the composting facility until ready for use in the process. Sufficient distance between stockpiles will be maintained to allow the proper use of equipment during the deposit and removal of material. Materials located in outdoor storage areas will be stockpiled in piles or, if needed, windrows, and oriented to prevent collection of rainwater at the base of the pile. Amendments from the outdoor stockpile areas will be brought inside to the receiving area as needed and blended with the organic waste material. Blended material will be placed into one of the thirteen (13) primary processing bays. Each bay is a concrete bunker, with McGill's patented aeration floor, and is equipped with a fan that is used to aid the composting process. The blended material will spend approximately 7 to 8 days in the primary processing bay. The material will then be removed from the bay and sent through a primary screen to separate large and small fraction material. Small fraction material will be placed into one of the seven (7) curing bays for final processing. Large fraction material may be returned back to the start of the process and blended with new, incoming waste, or used in the curing process as needed. Material will typically remain in the curing bays for 15 to 17 days. Finished product will either remain in the curing bays or will be transported to the outdoor storage area. Oversized material will be returned to the beginning of the process if applicable. Exhibit 2 illustrates the process flow of the composting process. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 8 www.scsengineers.com Exhibit 2. Blend Process Screen Cure I Final screen Feedstocks in 24MRS 7DArf am Compost out The McGill composting process is a batch process, each batch being approximately 1,000 cubic yards. During the blending process, amendments will be blended with organic waste feedstock using a wheel loader. Each batch will be thoroughly blended and stockpiled in the blending area to allow for moisture absorption. Blending will be performed to achieve the following objectives: 1. Contain a desirable carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio on all blends of greater than 20 parts carbon to one (1) part nitrogen (>20:1). 2. The moisture content target of approximately 55% - 65% moisture by weight on all blends. 3. Prepare and maintain sufficient structure to ensure aerobic conditions can be maintained in the batch during the next phase, primary processing. To achieve these compost recipe goals, a balance of materials must be met. Since all residual, wet - wastes are received together in the receiving area of the building (biosolids, food waste, industrial sludges, etc.) and all bulking agents (woody waste) is ground and blended outside of the building, we will consider these the two main components of the compost with the different properties: High nitrogen content, 'greens' —Approximate moisture content = 85% by weight, and approximate carbon to nitrogen ratio = 8:1 High carbon content, 'browns'— Approximate moisture content = 40% by weight, and approximate carbon to nitrogen ratio = 40:1 The following calculations are used to estimate the ideal compost recipe by weight. Assuming 100 tons of 'greens' (Q1), we solve for the closest weight of 'browns' (Q2) that satisfies both equations. For moisture content: 60% _ (85% x 100 tons) + (40% x Q2) (100 tons + Q2) For C:N ratio (Assume 25:1 goal): 25 = (8 x 100 tons) + (40 x Q2) (100 tons + Q2) Q2 is then approximately 125 tons. So, for every 100 tons of nitrogenous waste, McGill should add approximately 125 tons of ground woody waste (bulking agent); or by volume, this equates to about 2 to 2.5 buckets of bulking agent for every 1 bucket of nitrogenous waste. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 9 www.scsengineers.com 3.4 OTHER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The McGill facility is designed for optimal operational efficiency and to allow proper composting ratios and timeframes to be met. All mixing is performed by wheeled front -loader. Waste material with high nitrogen and moisture content are stored in the pit area within the blending building. Yard waste is stored outside. Grinding of feedstock is done on a regular, scheduled basis. A portable grinder is contracted, and there is a designated grinding area for the purpose of preparing yard waste, lumber, and pallets. These feedstocks are stockpiled outdoors until needed. The outdoor woody waste stockpile (amendment) location is directly to the north of the composting building, as shown on the site plan, Appendix B. Both ground and unground stockpiles will be 50 to 100 feet wide, by no more than 30 feet tall, for a storage capacity of 10,000 tons each stockpile. Wheel loaders are used to transport the ground feedstock into the blending area for mixing. Oversized woody material (overs) that is removed during the screening process is either returned to the blending area. A process flow diagram and list of major equipment are shown below in Exhibits 3 and 4, respectively. Exhibit 3.

The process works on a batch basis with each batch being approximately 1,000 cubic yards. The primary processing area consists of 13 bays, and each is a self-contained unit with its own aeration fan, ducting, and air distribution network embedded in the floor (McGill patented). Each bay is independently monitored and controlled. The following steps are utilized by McGill to prepare the primary composting bays: 1. A 3-inch layer of clean wood chips (or other dry material) is placed on top of the aeration channels to facilitate even air distribution throughout the composting mass, absorb excess moisture, and prevent clogging of the aeration pipes. 2. The blended mixture is placed by front-end loader on top of the wood chips to a height of 10- to 12- feet. The pile is constructed from back to front. When the pile is about one-half complete, the operator places a temperature probe sensor in the middle of the batch with the tip about four feet deep. 3. A layer of screened material is placed over the end of the pile as a cap in order to insulate the material, improve heat retention, and contribute to the overall tidiness and cleanliness of the process area. 4. Once the bay is filled, the operator notifies the supervisor to start the bay on the control panel. This initiates the electronic temperature monitoring. The bay number and start date make up the batch number for a unique identifier. The bay temperature probe and supply fan are connected to a centralized processor which monitors and records temperatures. The processor has a proprietary software program that continuously adjusts air flow to ensure optimum temperatures and maintain aerobic conditions at all times. Throughout the day, the plant manager will check the data records to verify operating status and McGill New Permit Application — Anson Page 11 www.scsengineers.com troubleshoot, as needed. The system is randomly verified with a hand-held probe. The system can also be monitored remotely through cell phones or other portable digital devices by McGill staff. Typically, the operator can receive and blend two (2) compost processing bays per day. The primary composting process occurs over the next 7 to 8 days. Once the primary process is complete, the batch moves to the secondary, curing process (1 of 7 bays) for the next 14+ days. It can take three (3) to four (4) screened primary bays to fill up a single curing bay. When the process is complete, final screening will take place and the finished compost product is then stockpiled. The sale, or distribution, of the compost typically takes place over the next 30 to 90 days. No excess process wastewater is generated or discharged from the McGill composting process. All composting activities are performed indoors. Any excess liquids that are generated are fully captured and recirculated into the composting process through blending. The composting process requires moisture to maintain suitable conditions to stabilize (breakdown) the organic material, and McGill carefully balances the moisture content of the batches to minimize excess liquids and compost efficiently. No stormwater comes in contact with the composting process. Liquids generated by vehicle washing will be contained in the unloading area and reused in the process. Any stormwater that comes in contact with outdoor amendment and finished compost stockpiles is designed so that the runoff is conveyed and attenuated by the permanent stormwater pond on site (see site plan in Appendix B). Dust producing, or fine-grained, feedstocks, such as lime, are not stored outdoors, and are typically not utilized by McGill. Dust from finished compost, and other potential sources, is controlled by the following steps: • Batches are thoroughly mixed to ensure sufficient moisture at the beginning of the process • Misting systems can be used at both screening operations to both prevent and suppress dust • Loaders are washed down at the end of each shift • Heavy traffic areas can be sprayed with a water truck on an as -needed basis Prior to leaving the site, all organic waste delivery vehicles will be required to wash the truck bed and tires to prevent delivered material from leaving the facility. Water will be used on -site to reduce dust from roads, windrows, and stockpiled amendments. Sweepers will be used on paved areas at the scale and building to reduce potential dust that enters the site from incoming trucks. Litter will be prevented at the site by completing all tipping of organic wastes indoors. The entire site will be monitored daily and will be patrolled weekly or as needed to pick up litter to maintain a clean on -site environment. Any litter that is collected will be placed in approved containers for disposal off -site. The presence of litter is significantly minimized by McGill controlling what materials they accept and handling all composting processes indoors. Facility operators will be responsible for sweeping clean material delivery and transfer areas. Compostable material recovered during good housekeeping operations will be returned to the composting process. Non-compostable materials will be deposited in a recycling or trash container located within the facility, as appropriate. Loads with excessive non-compostable material or material not approved by the permit will be rejected and returned to the generator. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 12 www.scsengineers.com 4.0 OPERATION PLAN McGill will own and fully operate the proposed Facility. The Facility will be commissioned and started up by a team of existing McGill staff, while simultaneously hiring and training local staff to fill the Facility. McGill would like to use local resources as much as possible to staff, operate, and maintain the Facility. Key contacts for the operation of the facility are as follows: Name Title Email Phone David Annas Plant Operations dannas@mcgillcompost.com 919-362-1161 Manager David Chief Operations Officer dildgoose@mcgillcompost.com 919-362-1161 Wildgoose Noel Lyons President & CEO nlyons@mcgillcompost.com 919-362-1161 David Annas will be the on -site contact person, responsible for overseeing the facility manager who will conduct day-to-day operations of the Facility. McGill proposes to accept organic waste and amendment materials between the hours of 6:30AM to 6:30 PM Monday through Friday, and from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM on Saturdays. The Facility will be closed for material acceptance on Sundays and designated holidays. Operations at the Facility will be conducted approximately 80 hours per week, but may be continuous as needed for site maintenance. A McGill employee will be on -site at all times while the gate is unlocked. 4.1 GENERAL SITE OPERATIONS, PROCEDURES, & EQUIPMENT The Facility property consists of 30.2 acres, of which approximately 20 acres are being proposed for compost operations area that meet the required buffers and setbacks. The proposed site plan, shown in Appendix B, utilizes about 15 of those acres for compost operations, roadways, stockpiles, and other necessary activities. Roadways will be all-weather gravel roads, maintained by McGill, with concrete and asphalt paving in high -traffic, heavy turning areas, such as the facility entrance and waste truck off-loading area. All compost processing operations will take place within the building, under roof, on a reinforced concrete slab. Outside stockpiles and vehicle parking will either be gravel base or a minimum 12 to 18 inches of clay pad with binder additive, also maintained by McGill. The site has one access road to enter and exit the site and is located to the south of the property, off of Dozer Drive. A 30-foot easement has been granted through the adjacent property to allow access, as illustrated on the Site Plan drawing. There will be a locking metal security gate at the entrance off of Dozer Drive. The Facility is surrounded by dense woods to the east and north, with a floodplain to the north west preventing unauthorized access. Additional deterrents, such as a berm or additional fencing will be installed along the southwest property line as needed. The Facility will also be protected by security cameras at various locations around the property. The facility is not open to the general public for either feedstock drop-off or product sales. Posted at the entrance of the facility are signs that list the types of PPE required, emergency contact phone numbers, permit number, types of waste received, types of waste not accepted, and operating McGill New Permit Application - Anson www.scsenciineers.com Page 13 hours. The types of waste not accepted will include hazardous waste, asbestos containing waste, and medical waste. All trucks entering the site will be required to weigh-in on the McGill site scale before unloading. Paperwork, including a copy of a bill of lading and proof that the source material has been pre - approved by McGill, will be checked at the scale house. If a truck is rejected at this point, it will leave the site without unloading. Vehicles will be accepted and allowed into the facility when the scale house is not occupied, but only if other approved protocols are followed. In the event the scale house is not occupied, options to record incoming waste include calling a McGill representative to virtually record the weight via video surveillance over the scales and scale house. Required documents that are typically submitted with personnel at the scale house, such as the bills of lading, will be deposited inside drobox. Trucks with complete paperwork and passing this initial inspection will be permitted to enter the facility to unload the material. The load will be observed after untarping for conformance with the approved material. If not acceptable, the vehicle will be rejected and leave the site. If accepted, the truck may unload. After unloading, the waste material will continue to be observed, and if there is a problem detected with the waste the load, it will be rejected. Rejected deliveries will be reloaded onto the original incoming truck and transported from the site back to the point of origin. Depending on the materials that are rejected, the customer will receive a handling fee for breaching the initial agreement and approval McGill provided the customer. The fine will cover the expense of McGill removing and properly disposing of the unacceptable material. All non-compostable material delivered to the site will be removed and deposited in onsite recycling or trash containers, as appropriate. Amendment materials delivered to the site will be ground, if required, and stockpiled outside until ready for use. All organic waste entering the composting facility will be unloaded indoors to ensure containment of the source material. After unloading, the truck bed and tires will be washed, and the wash water will be collected in a containment sump and used in the composting process. Before leaving the site, the truck will proceed to the scale to be weighed, or it may be loaded with finished compost material for delivery. Daily inspections will be made of all critical points within the Facility by the manager or a designated supervisor. These inspections will be performed at the start and conclusion of each workday and will include: • Verification of the operation status of all blower units from the electronic monitoring station; • Inspection of all temperature charts; and • Verification of the capacity for the day's incoming feedstocks to establish an appropriate blending schedule. • Temperatures within the composting bays will be maintained by an automated control system similar to standard operating procedures at other McGill facilities. Facility personnel will take occasional manual readings with temperature probes as a quality control measure and whenever a reading from the automated system appears abnormal. • Maintenance technicians will inspect the aeration system daily and will repair and replace ductwork and piping as necessary. In addition, maintenance personnel will check the air flow and moisture levels of the biofilter on a weekly basis. During excessively dry periods in the McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 14 www.scsenciineers.com summer, this may be increased to daily. The following are general guidelines for all other plant employees: 1. At the beginning of each workday, employees meet with the plant manager or site lead to go over the rotation of bay schedule, issues still outstanding, and plans for the day. 2. Following the meeting, plant employees go to their assigned area within the plant and inspect their equipment (screens, loaders, etc.) prior to start up. 3. Employees perform their daily tasks as assigned whether it is blending feedstock, moving curing materials from one bay to another, repairing equipment, or cleaning bays after use. 4. When the scale office closes, the gate at the entrance is locked for the day. Successful operation of the Facility relies on many key components of equipment, infrastructure, and personnel working closely together. Exhibit 5 provides a table with descriptions of any regular maintenance for compost management devices and equipment. Exhibit 5.

The following paragraphs describe the composting process, start to finish, including estimated timeframes and other procedures, such as sampling, testing, and recordkeeping. Compost Process A McGill operator will blend the materials in the pit with amendments using a dedicated loader in the blending area. This prevents biosolid material from being tracked throughout the operations building. Following the mixing process, the mixture is put into processing bays. This commences the primary processing step. Blended material will be loaded into one of the thirteen (13) independent, enclosed bays where primary processing occurs. Each bay has a capacity of 1,000 cubic yards. Each bay is a concrete bunker, with McGill's patented aeration floor, which is equipped with a fan that is used to facilitate the composting process. The fans are used to control the temperature and ensure aerobic conditions are being achieved. A wireless temperature probe is programmed to the central control system in order to maintain the optimal conditions. Material will remain in the primary processing bay for approximately 7 to 8 days. The objective of primary processing includes achieving Process to Reduce Further Pathogens (PRFP), significantly reduce readily available volatile solids, and reduce moisture to a level that insures rapid screening during the next phase. The primary processing bays will be loaded with blended material in such a way as to optimize the composting process. A not -to -exceed three (3)-inch layer of clean wood chips (or other suitable material) will be placed on top of the aeration channels to facilitate even air distribution throughout the composing pile, absorb excess moisture, and prevent clogging of the aeration pipes. The blended compost mixture will be placed by front end loader on top of the wood chips to a height of no more than 12 feet. When a bay is filled and the temperature probe is in the proper position, the operator notifies the supervisor to start the bay on the control panel. This initiates the electronic temperature monitoring. The fan speed will automatically change with real time data to supplement or reduce the amount of aeration in each bay. The continuous aeration system insures optimum biological activity and that temperatures remain above PFRP requirements. The biofilter extraction fans will be electronically controlled to service the blending area, processing areas and curing area to reduce odor from the facility. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 17 www.scsengineers.com Following the primary step, the material is removed by a loader and screened through the primary screener. The oversized material (overs) is returned to the blending area for future reuse. The finer fraction uncured compost, referred to as "fines", will go on to the next phase. The objective of primary screening includes size reductions, homogenizing, and exposing maximum surface area of fines to insure rapid curing. The screened material is placed in one of seven (7) curing bays where temperatures are again monitored. Typically, screening of three (3) or more primary bays will be required to generate sufficient fines to fill one curing bay. The curing bays have identical controls to the primary bays. Again, the material is subjected to continuous aeration which allows optimum temperatures to be maintained. Vector Attraction Reduction (VAR) is achieved and recorded during this phase. The material will remain in the curing bay for a minimum 15 days. After curing has been completed, compost is considered a salable product, however higher value markets often require a fine screened product. Compost will be run through the final screen which will be similar to the primary screen. Finished product will either remain in the curing bays or will be transported to an outdoor storage area. The objective of final screening is to achieve size reduction such that finer screened product can be sold to its desired markets. The overs are also a salable product, but depending on market demand the overs can be added as an amendment at the beginning of the process for further processing. Exhibit 6. Pile Type Average Height Average Width Location/Description Feedstock pit 12 feet 50 feet Concrete pit located inside the building, designated as receiving area on the west side of building Primary 10 feet 30 feet 13 concrete bays inside the center of the compost building, Processing Bay separated by concrete bin blocks or concrete walls 8 to 10' tall Curing Bay 10 feet 30 feet 7 bays inside the center of the compost building, separated by concrete bin blocks or concrete walls Outside stockpile 1 for unground yard waste and wood waste, Amendment located to the north of the building; vegetative berms/ditches Stockpile 1 30 feet 50 feet separate piles with a minimum 20' clear space all around for firefighting access Outside stockpile 2 for ground yard waste and wood waste, Amendment and/or overs, located to the north of the building; vegetative Stockpile 2 30 feet 50 feet berms/ditches separate piles with a minimum 20' clear space all around for firefighting access Finished compost product stored outside to the east of Final Product 20 feet 30-50 feet building on clay pad or gravel base; minimum 20' clear space all around for firefighting access Exhibit 6 identifies typical stockpile and compost pile sizes used in the ASP composting process. As described above, no windrows are used as part of the processing process. The process to be used at the proposed Facility will generate saleable product within four (4) to six (6) weeks of the start of composting. McGill finished compost is typically sold in bulk, averaging 40-50 cubic yards per load. Compost is delivered to customers by McGill drivers, customer's own drivers, or contract drivers. The compost is primarily sold for commercial use, such as general landscaping, construction, agriculture, erosion control, and sports turf. McGill New Permit Application — Anson Page 18 www.scsengineers.com The site will produce similar products already on the market being sold from McGill's existing facilities within the United States. McGill is currently contracted with hundreds of authorized resellers in the Carolinas and Mid -Atlantic states for distribution of their premium compost products. McGill will use the proven marketing and sales techniques implemented at existing McGill composting facilities to balance available feedstocks with local product demand. Material generated by the proposed McGill Composting Facility will be sold in bulk to commercial users or product distributors. A bagging operation may be added to the Facility at a later date. The product sales manager has responsibility for sale of finished compost products. Monitoring/Recordkeeping The Facility complies with all applicable time and temperature requirements under Rule .1406 and monitoring and recordkeeping requirements under Rule .1408. As described in the process above, the compost meets the PFRP for Type 4, aerated static piles within the primary compost process. VAR is met through McGill's additional curing process. Aerobic conditions are maintained throughout the composting process. Temperatures are monitored and recorded continuously. Each bay, primary and curing, has a dedicated temperature probe which is wired to the central control system where temperature and time are recorded. Probes are placed at the center of each batch, to a depth of approximately 48-inches. Temperatures within each bay will be electronically monitored using the temperature probes. Data from the monitoring points will be recorded every fifteen (15) minutes and stored onsite and saved to the automated cloud -based software. The electronic control system will automatically operate the motor/blower units to maintain desired temperatures within each composting mass. The probes are calibrated at least once per year and documentation is kept in the plant manager's office. The calibration method includes using a dedicated temperature probe that is calibrated per manufacturer's specifications and then compared to the reading of the probe after both probes are placed in a bucket of water. Moisture of the product within the primary and curing bays is measured at least weekly using the oven drying method. Those readings are recorded by the plant manager. The plant operations manager is ultimately responsible for maintaining all records in accordance with Rule .1408, and ensuring VAR and PFRP are met for each batch, per Rule .1406. An example of a completed temperature log form for PFRP and VAR requirements is included in Appendix E. Testing McGill's testing procedure meets and exceeds the requirements set forth in Rule .1407. McGill also participates in the U.S. Composting Council's Seal of Testing Assurance (STA) program. For quality assurance purposes, finished compost samples will be submitted for STA testing each month. This exceeds the Rule .1407 sampling and testing frequency requirement (every 20,000 tons of compost produced). An example of a typical STA Report is included in Appendix E. Samples will be collected from stockpiles of finished product. Any sample collected for testing for pathogens and nutrients will be a representative composite sample of the compost and will be processed within the period of time required by specific testing procedures. The finished product samples will be sent to a USCC-certified lab for analysis on a monthly basis. The compost samples will be tested for percent foreign matter such as glass, metals, plastics and sharps; quantities of specific metals including arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium and zinc; pathogens; and Kjeldahl nitrogen. Additional quality assurance testing includes determination of bulk density, salt content, and germination potential. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 19 www.scsengineers.com Compost containing sewage sludge will be tested in accordance with 40 CFR 503, Subpart B. All finished products must meet EPA 503 standards for biosolids prior to distribution, as reported by USCC Seal of Testing analyses. After screening, curing, and testing, the compost will be ready for market as an EPA Exceptional Quality (EQ) Product. Finished compost samples are taken from stockpiles of product by an employee trained in the sampling procedure, per STA program protocol. The employee wears dedicated, nitrile gloves to collect the samples, and those gloves are discarded after the sampling is complete. The STA program requires the following sampling protocols: Logs, sampling diagrams, and Chain of Custody documents should be prepared (as directed by the Plant Manager). Avoid excessively moist compost. If balls form during mixing of composite materials, the compost is too wet. 3. Use sterile stainless steel, plastic, glass, or Teflon containers and implements for collecting and mixing samples. Between samples, clean collection tools and containers with soapy water, well -rinsed and dried. 4. Collect samples from no fewer than 15 sample points, randomly selected and visually representative of the material to be distributed. Total number of samples should be sufficient to collect 1 g of material for every 1000 kg of compost (aliquot). 5. Each sampling point shall be at a depth of two to six feet into the pile from the outside surface of the pile. Samples should be of equal size, at least 1000 cubic centimeters (about 1 quart) each. 6. Place quickly in container(s) with minimal stirring. Mix and split samples under sheltered conditions to reduce exposure to wind, temperature, sunlight, and precipitation. 7. Prepare for shipping a composite sample of no less than 1000 cubic centimeters; chill and ship to the laboratory within 24 hours. Any sample collected for testing for pathogens and nutrients shall be a representative composite sample of the compost and shall be processed within a period of time required by the testing procedure. 4.4 SAFETY, CONTINGENCY, & MAINTENANCE McGill has worked hard to build a strong market for its products over the past 30 years and sells all or nearly all its production. However, if compost could not be sold due to a change in market conditions, McGill would re-engage with the agricultural market or other large bulk outlets such as NC DOT. In the event of an emergency and/or if the facility stops operations for an extended period of time, alternate waste handling procedures will be followed. Acceptance of new waste would be stopped and each stage the materials are located within the composting process would be verified. Amendments could be accepted stored outside, up to stockpile limits. Materials can be stored within the composting and curing bays for several days to several weeks before continuing through the composting process or being loaded out for final sale. In the event that all material would need to be removed from the site, the composting bays will be emptied of product using a front-end loader. The material would then be loaded onto a truck and removed from the site (likely to one of McGill's other two North Carolina facilities). McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 20 www.scsengineers.com As part of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan training, employees are taught good housekeeping practices which play into all aspects of keeping the facility sanitary. Dust is periodically blown off of equipment and tops of walls within the operational building using compressed air. Throughout the operational area outside of the operational building, water is used for dust suppression as needed. At the end of each day, the concrete pad where the trucks unload feedstock into the pit is cleared and any remnants of sludge or other feedstock is washed into the pit using a hose. All feedstock are either mixed with amendments and put into processing bays by the end of the day or are properly stored in the receiving or blending area within the building. Having the composting process carried out indoors helps maintain sanitary conditions and good vector control. Housekeeping procedures will be implemented to prevent infestation by insects and rodents. Should conditions favorable to production of such vectors become apparent —the facility operator will institute effective control measures. These measures may include the use of insecticides and rodenticides, applied on an as -needed basis by contracted professional exterminators. Plant personnel undergo monthly training for required OSHA topics as well as other safety topics pertinent to the composting industry. Attendees are required to sign a roster, and the rosters are kept by the human resources department. McGill employees are trained annually regarding the OSHA required Emergency Action Plan and Fire Prevention Plan. Employees also undergo annual training for how to properly put out a fire using a fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher training is conducted by a third party. Employees have been trained to either put the fire out using a fire extinguisher or the onsite water wagon and hose. If the fire cannot be safely extinguished by an employee, the fire department will be called. Any fire at the facility will be reported to the Solid Waste Section within 24 hours, and a written notification of the details of the fire will be provided within 1S days of the incident. The Anson County Fire Marshal has been notified of the proposed Facility. Refer to Appendix C for a copy of that correspondence. Since McGill's composting process is contained inside of a building, it is relatively weather - independent. Historically only significant weather events that resulted in road closures have impacted the facility. On those occasions, the facility is closed until the roads cleared. All screening is done with stationary electric equipment, which have far greater reliability than portable diesel units. A sizable inventory of spare parts is kept for each unit. The aeration fans are very reliable and require little maintenance. If a long-term power outage occurred, generators would be utilized to keep the electrical equipment running. McGill has not had this occur in its over thirty year history. Over long periods of time, concrete will crack in areas of heavy use. Old concrete is repaired or removed and replaced on an as needed basis, along with typical building maintenance. McGill leases all its wheel loaders. While in service, all machines are under warranty and comprehensive service agreement. McGill's policy is to replace loader approximately every 3 years, and the mean age of the loaders at similar facilities is under two years. This strategy has greatly diminished loader downtime. In the event that a loader is down for an extended period, the loader supplier is required to supply a loaner. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 21 www.scsengineers.com Spills are addressed in the Spills and Accident Response Plan, Emergency Action Plan, annual training, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans. Employees have been trained to respond to spills according to the type of spill, location, volume, etc. All spills are reported to the compliance manager for documentation and reporting if necessary. The composting process will be conducted within an enclosed building; will generate minimal amounts of noise; and, will comply with local noise ordinances. Grinding operations are conducted outside and performed as needed, currently estimated to take place 10 times per year, during normal business hours. Due to the proximity of the site to the existing active Landfill, a significant increase to industrial noise in the area is not anticipated. If in the event that the Facility permanently closes, all requirements listed in Rule 15A NCAC 13B .1410 will be followed so that North Carolina DEQ's requirements are satisfied. A closure plan would be submitted to DEQ for approval prior to closure. The closure plan will include details on the following: 1. All feedstock and unfinished compost materials shall be removed from the site and taken to a permitted solid waste facility within 180 days; 2. Finished compost materials left onsite shall comply with G.S. 130A-309.05; and McGill shall notify the Division in writing upon completion of the requirements of the removal of the compost materials. 5.0 ODOR CONTROL PLAN McGill implements a comprehensive odor control plan, by way of strict process control and engineered mitigation measures. A properly blended and managed compost process is not a significant source of odors. However some of the incoming feedstock can be potential sources of odors. The site plan drawing, in Appendix B, illustrates potential sources of odors and their locations. The main source of odor concern is the receiving pit and blending area, within the building. The building exhaust occurs on the north side of the building through the biofilter(s). There are no properties of concern, or dwelling directly to the north of the proposed site. The area to the north is protected into the foreseeable future by Brown Creek, and an approximately 2,500'-wide floodplain. According to USDA's National Resources Conservation Service wind rose data, the most typically average wind directions are in the north-northeast direction for this area of North Carolina. The only occupied land to the northeast of the proposed Facility is the Anson County Landfill. The McGill Anson Facility will maintain a significant buffer of trees around the perimeter of the site wherever possible. The plant manager records the wind speed and direction weekly in order to determine if there may be a potential issue with odor migration. The date, time, site conditions, weather conditions, and wind direction are noted. Beyond noting the weather conditions, McGill's policy is to process intake materials in a timely manner in order to reduce the potential for odors. If any odor complaints are received, the plant manager along with the compliance manager investigate the complaint by noting the time of the complaint, the time that the odor was detected, and the wind direction and speed that day. If the odor is said to be happening currently, either the plant manager or the compliance manager will investigate both onsite and offsite. Records will be researched to determine where incoming feedstocks originated on the day of the odor complaint. The response to the McGill New Permit Application - Anson www.scsengineers.com Page 22 odor complaint will vary with each situation; however, each complaint will be fully investigated and documented by McGill personnel. A copy of McGill's odor complaint form is included in Appendix E. The form is filled out each time there is an odor complaint and is kept by the compliance manager on McGill's server. The forms will be kept for the duration of the permit as required. Odor Prevention BMPs Though the Facility has extensive odor controls in place, prevention is the primary strategy. Central to this is good housekeeping, prompt and proper mixing, and reliability of the aeration system. The following is a list of operation procedures and BMPs that will be utilized by McGill for odor prevention and control at this facility: 1. Employees receive training on methods of how to best control odor through feedstock management. This training occurs when an employee is hired and is discussed during employee meetings. 2. Feedstock characteristics management is part of the process as they are unloaded, getting feedstock properly mixed, and getting that mixture onto aeration bays. The primary composting process is key in odor management and is part of the composting process at McGill. 3. Attention must be given to both the ingredients and how they are combined. The available waste materials and amendments must, when blended, fall within the correct moisture range, C:N ratio and bulk density. Mixing ratios to acquire the desired C:N ratio are discussed in Section 3.3 of this application. 4. The majority of residuals accepted at the facility have odor potential, so all are handled in a very controlled manner. Getting incoming residuals properly mixed with a carbon source and getting the mixture in an aerated pile within a timely manner is important. 5. On occasion, a load of exceptionally odorous material may arrive at the facility. It is inherent in the design of McGill's composting facility and operational plan that odorous material will be properly handled upon receipt. Odor prevention begins with McGill's rigorous waste screening and approval process, which includes testing and review against acceptance criteria. Once waste is accepted and arrives at the facility, personnel are trained to be able to identify unacceptable loads prior to unloading and after unloading. All unloading of material takes place within the unloading area. If a load is exceptionally odorous after unloading, odor mitigation will be immediately implemented, such as addition of amendments to mitigate odors. An odorous load that is accepted will be dealt with as a high priority. It will be mixed with extra amendment and placed in a primary bay with urgency. 6. A properly prepared processing bay allows air to be delivered uniformly across the base of the bay. Additionally, a properly filled bay with properly blended material will allow air to move uniformly up through the bay. The composting procedure followed at the facility requires that piles of material be placed in bays where the compost is exposed to forced air until the composting process is complete. The construction of the piles and is discussed in detail in Section 3.4. 7. Monitoring moisture is the leading indicator in odor prevention while blending. Moisture is monitored during the composting process in order to determine if there is enough moisture present for microbial activity. McGill's target moisture content for proper operations is 55% - 65% moisture by weight. 8. Typically, there is no generation of leachate from the composting process, but if any should occur, it cannot escape the building and will be incorporated back into the mixture. All liquids that come into the blending area as a feedstock are blended with solid materials and carbon sources and maintained within the building. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 23 www.scsengineers.com 9. Weather is monitored daily and recorded weekly for wind direction and severe weather. However, since the composting process is in a building, weather typically does not affect the process. 10. Air removed from the processing and curing bays is collected through the exhaust fan, duct, and biofilter system and is discussed further in the following section. 11. It is critical that the air supply fans function properly with very little down time. The first three (3) days of the composting process are the most critical. During this period, considerable volatile solids biodegradation and drying take place. As this progresses, the oxygen and cooling demand decline making the material less sensitive to a mechanical failure. McGill monitors this process consistently, real-time, and services the aeration system, as needed, with urgency. In addition to these process controls for odor prevention, the Facility will operate and maintain a large biofilter system for the main purpose of odor mitigation. Biofilter Design At the Facility, odorous air will pass through one (1) biofilter system, with two (2) segments, to remove odors. Each biofilter segment will measure approximately 140' by 80' by 4-5' tall, and consist of a header duct, distribution piping, and natural wood -based media. Exact measurements will be finalized with final design. The biofilter will be designed for a minimum residence time of 30 seconds. Components of the biofilter system include: • Extraction Fans: Air will be removed from the "dirty" (air from offloading, blending, and composting bays) areas of the facility by two (2) biofilter fans. The biofilter fans will be rated at approximately 50,000 scfm each. • Extraction Ducting — the ductwork will consist of a header pipe planned to be 36 to 42 inches in diameter and 150 feet to 200 feet long. Exact measurements will be finalized prior to construction. Distribution piping will be attached perpendicular to the header along every 8 feet of piping and be perforated to allow even distribution through the media. The wood based media will be placed on the distribution piping. • Media: Media will consists of four (4) to five (5) feet of natural material such as larger particle size compost and woodchips. Media particle size ranges from 3/8-inch to 4-inches. Any particles sized less than 3/8—inch will be screened out and not included in the biofilter media. These will be sourced from the existing yard waste compost and wood stockpiles on site or purchased from a suitable source. • Aeration fans: There are twenty (20) aeration fans, one per bay, supplying clean air to both primary and curing bays as part of the aeration system. Note that McGill is currently testing new methods of air handling that would decrease the number of fans needed by optimizing the distribution piping and adding dampers. At this time, no determination has been made as to precise number of fans for the final design. • Floor: All building floors will be constructed from reinforced concrete. All processing bays will have built-in channels in the floor to accommodate the aeration piping. The floor of the biofilter will be comprised of compacted clay soil pad or similar. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 24 www.scsengineers.com Biofilter Inspection and Maintenance The biofilter is working well if air is rising in a uniform pattern over the surface of the pile and odors are mild and non -offensive. Standard practice will be to perform a daily inspection of the complete system. During the inspection, personnel are required to look for any abnormalities, such as unusual fan vibration, pressure gauge reading changes, ducting leakage and during very dry weather, media moisture. The following are areas and factors that personnel are responsible for inspecting: • Extraction fans: The two (2) extraction fans will require simple routine maintenance including greasing of bearings, belt inspection, and cleaning of housing per manufacturer's recommendations. These fans are also controlled by individual variable frequency drives (VFD) and monitored continuously at the facility manager's office and mobile phone. Any repairs needed will be called in immediately and handled with urgency. • Header Ducting: Ducting will require minimal if any maintenance. It will be constructed of a fiberglass resin material, making it corrosion and UV resistant. During the daily inspection, personnel look for any leaks. • Media life: Biofilter media is expected to have about a three (3) to five (5)-year life. Overtime wood -based media will breakdown. Biofilter media can be changed as needed or biofilter media can be excavated and placed back into the biofilter to promote optimum performance. • Moisture: Moisture level is an important parameter in biofilter performance. Air coming to the biofilter will be a mix of dirty air from multiple bays, offloading, and blending. Air from the headspace above the processing bays will always be at or close to 100% humidity, which based on years of experience, has been found to be sufficient to maintain appropriate biofilter moisture levels. To address the possibility of moisture deficiency, a possibility during extended warm dry periods, the facility will use garden soaker hoses to add water when necessary to ensure the biofilter maintain correct moisture for effective performance. Based on this standard operating procedure, the biofilter is sufficiently wetted at all times to prevent dust emissions even during times of drought or dry periods. • Temperature: An indoor composting facility of this size continuously produces large volumes of warm air. Though never warm enough to collect and reuse as an independent energy source, it is more than sufficient to ensure the building is kept warm and the air going to the biofilter is warm. The warmth from the process allows the biofilter temperature to be more consistently maintained irrespective of ambient temperature. Natural media based biofilters contain thousands of different species of microorganisms that thrive over a range of temperatures. This allows biofilters to tolerate changes in temperature without greatly hindering performance. Depth: The depth of the biofilter media is a minimum of 48 inches from the point where air leaves the delivery piping; this gives 48 inches of contact area. Except for biofilter material, all components of the aeration system are designed for long-term service. Biofilter media is replaced as needed and as follows: 1. Remove spent filter media to blending area for reprocessing. 2. Repair/replace aeration piping as needed. 3. Add new media to pad to height of 4-5 ft. McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 25 www.scsengineers.com With McGill's Odor Control Plan in place, odors from the Facility should be significantly mitigated and, under normal operating circumstances, no odors will be detected at the property line. If odors cannot be controlled by the above listed measures, McGill will work to identify the source of the odor, and eliminate a source of that particular material, as necessary (e.g., terminating contract with the generator of identified odorous feedstock, for example) or explore other odor control practices noted. 6.0 FINANCIAL ASSURANCE For Type 4 composting facilities, McGill is required to provide Financial Assurance documentation for the proposed facility. Using the Solid Waste Section compost facility Permit Guidance, as well as applicable Section .1800 rules, McGill submits the following financial assurance estimate for the Facility: Maximum Waste Quantities Tons Receiving Pit 1,500 Primary Bays 5,500 Curing Bays 3,500 Total 10,500 In the event of a closure, McGill would haul all waste material on site to the closest existing McGill facility. That location would be McGill Merry Oaks in New Hill, NC, approximately 100 miles away. McGill estimates that their current haul rate for said transportation would be $570 per load, and McGill can haul approximately 22 tons per load. Estimated Hauling Cost Max Tons Ton/Load # of Loads 10,500 22 477 Transportation per Load $570 Engineer's Cost Estimate $271,890 McGill New Permit Application - Anson Page 26 www.scsengineers.com McGill standard process for facility closure is as follows: 1. All feedstock and unfinished compost materials will be removed from the site and taken to a permitted solid waste facility within 180 days. 2. Ideally, all waste material would be taken to the McGill Merry Oaks facility where it will be processed and sold as finished compost. 3. Finished compost materials left at the Anson site shall comply with G.S. 130A-309.05. 4. McGill shall notify the Division in writing upon completion of the requirements of the removal of the compost materials. McGill's financial assurance mechanism for the Anson Facility will be a surety bond, per Section .1800, Rule .1805(e)(2). 7.0 OTHER PERMITS McGill understands that additional permitting is required by the State for the construction and operation of the Facility. This includes, but is not limited to: a. Erosion & Sediment Control Permit through the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources, as well as a certificate of coverage under NCG01 (construction General Permit for stormwater) b. NPDES Industrial Stormwater Permit through the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources, either by Individual Permit or coverage under NCG24 (General Industrial Stormwater Permit for composting facilities) As McGill finalizes the design details of the Facility, an Erosion & Sediment Control Permit application will be submitted in the coming months. McGill will provide the Solid Waste Section with documentation of said Permit. The same will be done for the Industrial Stormwater Permit. However, upon discussions with the Stormwater Department, a Permit will not be issued until after the Facility is constructed to a point that stormwater features and planned operations may be properly inspected. McGill plans to submit for coverage under NCG24, the General Industrial Permit for composting. Any other permits will be obtained as needed. 8.0 SIGNATURE PAGES Please refer to the following page for required signatures.

Greene Street Wadesboro, NC 28170 June 23, 2022 Mr. Noel Lyons McGill Environmental Services 634 Christian Chapel Church Rd New Hill, NC 27562 Dear Mr. Lyons: Jarvis T. Woodburn Chairperson 704-994-3228 jwoodburrn@ansoncountyne.gov Please accept this letter as confirmation that the Anson County Commissioners voted unanimously at our June 7, 2022 meeting to support the location of a McGill composting facility at an approximately 25-acre site adjacent to the Waste Systems landfill off Dozer Road in Anson County. For planning purposes, the property has been identified by our economic development office as the northeast corner of parcel 644500861576. The identified construction site is not in a zoned area of the county, and as such is not subject to any specific land use requirements imposed by the county. It is worth noting, however, that this site is immediately adjacent to a landfill and the proposed composting facility is viewed by our economic development office as the "best and highest" use of this land. The only formal approvals required by the county will be the standard construction permits and Certificate of Occupancy, which are ongoing. Thank you for considering Anson County as the location for the newest McGill facility. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance. Regards, Jarvis T. Woodburn Chairperson Brokaw, Matt From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Good afternoon Rodney and Wes, Brokaw, Matt Monday, March 13, 2023 2:39 PM rdiggs@ansoncountync.gov; wsteagall@ansoncountync.gov Katherine Sullivan Anson Facility Notification - McGill Environmental FIG 1_ AERIAL MAP- FEB-23.pdf On behalf of McGill Environmental, I am writing to inform of the planned composting facility off of Dozer Drive in Polkton. SCS Engineers is currently preparing permit application documents to seek approval from NCDEQ— Solid Waste Section on the proposed facility. Part of the permit required is to provide notification to the local fire protection agency. We believe that to be the Anson County Fire Marshal in this case. I've attached a concept map showing the location of the proposed facility. Again, we are still in the design and permitting stages, and will plan to consult with you further as we get closer to construction, if/when the necessary permits are approved. Please allow this email to serve as notification on the planned facility, and do not hesitate to contact myself, or Kate Sullivan with McGill, if you have any questions at this time.

Job ID: 680-212173-1 Project/Site: 12 mile Job ID: 680-212173-1 Laboratory: Eurofins Savannah Narrative Revision 1 The report being provided is a revision of the original report sent on 4/18/2022. The report (revision 1) is being revised in order to add % Solids test to this sample for the PCBs dry -weight calculation. Receipt The samples were received on 3/5/2022 9:50 AM. Unless otherwise noted below, the samples arrived in good condition, and where required, properly preserved and on ice. The temperatures of the 2 coolers at receipt time were 1.80 C and 1.91 C. GC/MS VOA Method 8260D: The CCV for analytical batch 680-710618 recovered outside control limits for the following analyte(s): 2-Butanone (MEK). 2-Butanone (MEK) has been identified as a poor performing analyte when analyzed using this method; therefore, re-extraction/re-analysis was not performed. These results have been reported and qualified. Method 8260D: The laboratory control sample (LCS) for analytical batch 680-710618 recovered outside control limits for the following analyte(s): 2-Butanone. 2-Butanone has been identified as a poor performing analyte when analyzed using this method; therefore, re-extraction/re-analysis was not performed. These results have been reported and qualified. No additional analytical or quality issues were noted, other than those described above or in the Definitions/Glossary page. GC/MS Semi VOA Method 3510C: The following samples listed formed emulsions during the extraction procedure: 12 Mile (680-212173-1). The emulsions were broken up using Sodium Sulfate. Method 8270E: The following sample was diluted to bring the concentration of target analytes within the calibration range for 3 & 4 Methylphenol: 12 Mile (680-212173-1). Elevated reporting limits (RLs) are provided. No additional analytical or quality issues were noted, other than those described above or in the Definitions/Glossary page. GC Semi VOA Method 8081 B: Two surrogates are used for this analysis. The laboratory's SOP allows one of these surrogates to be outside acceptance criteria without performing re-extraction/re-analysis. The following samples contained an allowable number of surrogate compounds outside limits: (LB 680-709822/1-E), (LCS 680-710194/6-A) and (MB 680-710194/4-A). These results have been reported and qualified. No additional analytical or quality issues were noted, other than those described above or in the Definitions/Glossary page. Metals No analytical or quality issues were noted, other than those described in the Definitions/Glossary page. General Chemistry Method 9045D: prepared at a 5g/20mL ratio due to matrix. Method 1030: NB = No Burn (Does not ignite) No additional analytical or quality issues were noted, other than those described above or in the Definitions/Glossary page.

This report summarizes the assessment of a 30-acre parcel currently being purchased by McGill Environmental Facilities, LLC (McGill) for the purposes of constructing a Type 4 Composting Facility (Facility) in Anson County, North Carolina. The full name of the proposed facility for purposes of permitting will be the McGill Anson Composting Facility. On behalf of McGill, SCS Engineers, PC (SCS) has assessed the demographic and socioeconomic data of the communities surrounding the parcel intended for the new composting facility in accordance with NCDEQ's most current guidance documents on Environmental Justice. The results of the assessment are summarized in this report and examine the demographics and socioeconomics of the surrounding community area, as well as census tracts, within a 1.5-mile radius of the existing property boundary. A 1.5-mile buffer radius was selected as a conservative approach to encompass all nearby localities likely to be impacted by the McGill project. A 1.5-mile radius from the property encompasses the center of the Town of Polkton, which is the main rationale for the selected buffer zone. The demographics of the State of North Carolina are also considered as they relate to both the county and local census tracts. Area demographics were determined by utilizing the following sources: • EPA Environmental Justice Tool (EJSCREEN) • North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Community Mapping System • Current Available Census Data Based on a review of the NCDEQ Community Mapping Tool, below is a list of environmental permits within 1.5 miles of the project parcel footprint: 1. Air Quality Permit Sites: a. Anson County Waste Management Facility (Landfill) 2. Brownfields Program Sites: a. B&H Recyclers 3. Underground Storage Tank Active Facilities: a.

Anson County Waste Management Facility (Landfill) 6. NC Mining Permits: a. Polkton Crushed Stone 2.0 PROPOSED PROJECT McGill seeks to develop a Type 4 Composting Facility in Anson County, North Carolina. The proposed facility will be located off Dozer Drive in Polkton, INC, directly adjacent to the Anson County Landfill. The new facility will be owned and operated by McGill, and be constructed on soon -to -be purchased, undeveloped land. The facility includes an approximately 120,000-square-foot enclosed building for all compost operations, except storage of woody waste and finished compost material. A truck scale Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsenciineers.com Page 1 and an approximately 1,000-square-foot office building are also part of the site. The facility is designed to receive, and compost, 130,000 wet tons of organic residuals annually. That number does not include woody waste amendments, otherwise known as bulking agents. All composting operations are to take place within the fully -enclosed concrete and corrosion resistant steel building. Composting will occur within several aerated concrete bays, and the process air from the building will be treated by a biofilter upon exiting the facility. No process wastewater (leachate) will be generated by the compost piles. Any excess moisture will be balanced and/or recirculated in the composting process and is completely contained from the outside environment. Anticipated incoming feedstocks from pre -approved sources include WWTP biosolids, select industrial sludges, local food waste, wood ash, grass clippings, yard waste, and clean wood pallets. All materials accepted will be composted on -site and turned into a saleable product. 3.0 GEOGRAPHICAL AREA The existing 99.83-acre parcel (Parcel #644500861576) will be subdivided into two new lots, approximately 30 acres of which will be purchased and owned by McGill. The Facility will be built on the 30-acre subdivided parcel. The parcel can be accessed from Dozer Road off of US Highway 74. A 1.5-mile radius outside the existing undivided parcel was used to analyze the local demographics and socioeconomics. The new McGill subdivided parcel data was not readily available within GIS systems at the time of this study, and analyzing based on the larger, undivided parcel is a more conservative approach. The study radius based off of the existing 99-acre parcel is shown on the map in Attachment A. The selected radius falls into 5 census blocks as indicated in Attachment B. The location of the site is not near any state -designated tribal statistical area. All demographic data on communities within the 1.5-mile radius were sourced using the EPA's EJ Screen tool. All referenced tables can be found in Attachment D. 3.1 REGIONAL SETTING Anson County is designated as a Tier 1 County by the NC Department of Commerce and ranks #12 out of 100 counties by the Department of Commerce in terms of economic distress (#1 being the most distressed). The Department of Commerce uses four main factors in ranking Counties: average unemployment rate, median household income, percentage growth in population, and adjusted property tax base per capita. The 1.5-mile radius used in this analysis falls within Anson County limits. This radius encompasses a conservative estimate of possible affected local populations. The radius overlaps portions of 5 Census Tracts shown in Attachment B. The Census Tracts include tract 9203.01, tract 9203.02, tract 9204, tract 9205.01, and tract 9800. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county with a unique numeric code (US Census Bureau). Data was not available for all Anson County census tracts, and it is noted in this document when data is not available. As shown in Attachment D, there is no data available on Disability (Table 3) or Poverty (Table 4) for the 1.5-mile radius. For Tables 2 through 7, there was no sufficient data available for census tracts 9203.01, 9203.02, 9205.01, or 9800. However, County data is available, as well as data for Census Tract 9204, and therefore some conclusions may still be drawn about the region from this representative sample. It should be noted that Census Tract 9800 is a very small tract that appears to be centered around and dedicated to the Anson County Correctional Institution (prison). Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsenciineers.com Page 2 4.0 SOCIOECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC EVALUATION 4.1 RACE AND ETHNICITY Table 1 of Attachment D was completed using data from Census Table P2, Census 2020, US Census Bureau. The 1.5-mile radius encompasses categories of people identified for outreach. According to the US Census Bureau Table P2, non -white populations account for 29% of the state's population, and Hispanic or Latino populations account for 11% of the state's population. Anson county, especially certain census tracts within the county, have a greater percentage of non -white persons than the state. Non -white, specifically Black or African Americans, account for 49% of the population of Anson County, 63% of the population within Census Tract 9205.01, 46% of the population within Census Tract 9800, and 74% of the population within Census Tract 9204. This is approximately 20 to 40% higher than the state's non -white population, on average. 4.2 AGE AND SEX Table 2 of Attachment D was completed using data from Census Table P12, Census vintage 2010, US Census Bureau. The percentage of males and females is relatively consistent across the populations of North Carolina (48.7% Male, 51.3% Female), Anson County (52.5% Male, 47.5% Female), and Census Tract 9204 (42.5% Male, 57.5% Female). The median age of North Carolina (38.6 years) and Anson County (40.5 years) are relatively consistent, although the median age of the population in Census Tract 9204 (30.3 years) is slightly lower than both Anson County and North Carolina. No median age data was available for the 1.5-mile radius. The percentage of males (75%) and females (25%) within the 1.5-mile radius are significantly different from the percentages documented in the other geographic areas. However, this may be attributed to limited data available within the small geographic range. 4.3 DISABILITY Table 3 of Attachment D was completed using data from the American Community Survey (ACS) 2018 Table S1810, US Census Bureau. According to the American Community Survey (ACS) Table S1810, 13% of the population of North Carolina has a non -institutionalized disability. Within Anson County, 17.8% of the population has a non -institutionalized disability. This constitutes a higher average percentage of the population of North Carolina with a disability. Within Anson County, the population with cognitive difficulty (11%) and ambulatory difficulties (11%) are greater than the North Carolina state averages (7.7% and 7.7% respectively). Higher percentages of persons with disabilities in Anson County suggest that community outreach may benefit from being tailored to suit certain disabilities. Data is only available for the state of North Carolina, Anson County, and Census Tract 9204. No disability data is available for the other census tracts encompassed by the 1.5-mile radius or the radius area itself. Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsenciineers.com Page 3 4.4 POVERTY AND HOUSEHOLD INCOME Table 4 (Poverty) and Table 5 (Household Income) of Attachment D were completed using data from ACS 2018 Tables S1701(Poverty Status in the Past 12 Months) and S1901(Income in the Past 12 Months). The 1.5 radius encompasses categories of people identified for outreach. According to Table S1901, 15.4% of the population of North Carolina falls below the poverty level. In Anson County, 19.8% of the population lives below the poverty level. According to the same table, 33.7% of the population of North Carolina and 50.1% of the population of Anson County live below 200% of the poverty level. In Census Tract 9204, representative of the communities nearest to the project area, 34.9% of the population falls below the poverty rate, and 78.6% of the population falls below 200% of the poverty line. Data is not available for the other census tracts encompassed by the 1.5-mile radius. Limited data is available for the 1.5-mile radius. In Census Tract 9204, the percentage of the population experiencing poverty is well over 20% and the share of households in poverty is more than 15% greater than the State and County averages. 4.5 HEALTH DATA The University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, in collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, calculated a County Health Rankings system for all states in the United States (www.cou ntyhealth ran kings.org). This ranking is based on health outcomes (lifespan and self - reported health status) and health factors (environmental, social, and economic conditions). According to this report, out of all 100 counties in North Carolina (with 1 indicating the healthiest), Anson County ranks 94 out of 100. Anson County is rated as in the bottom 25% in both health outcomes and health factors in the State of North Carolina. Only limited data is available for the 1.5- mile radius and the census tracts of interest. The health rating of the local population appears to generally correspond to the poverty and household income statistics. 4.6 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS General Statute 130A-294(a)(4)(c)9 states that the Department may deny an application for a permit for a solid waste management facility if the Department finds that the cumulative impact would have a disproportionate adverse impact on a minority or low-income community protected by Title VI of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. The 1.5-mile radius around the proposed facility does have populations protected by Title VI of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. Therefore, the cumulative impact of the proposed facility must be considered in relation to other similar impacts of facilities located or proposed in the community. Anson County Waste Management Facility (Landfill) is the most prominent solid waste facility within the buffer area. The Landfill is located adjacent to the proposed facility property. In contrast to the proposed facility, wastewater and gas impacts from the existing Landfill would be significantly greater than the potential impacts from the proposed facility. The McGill Anson composting operation will be contained within the proposed building and building exhaust will pass through two appropriately sized biofilters to minimize odors. The compost facility will also be taking in organic materials that would otherwise likely be bound for the adjacent Landfill. Therefore, the cumulative impacts considering the proposed facility are negligible to that of the existing Landfill. If anything, the facility may serve to reduce the immediate, and local impacts of the adjacent Landfill, through diversion and beneficial use. Diverting a significant amount of organics from landfilling is known to decrease methane gas emissions, decrease wet wastes and leachate, Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsenciineers.com Page 4 and potentially slow the expansion of landfills by reducing average tonnages. Refer to Section 10.1 and 10.2 for additional details on mitigation measures for potential impacts of the facility and further harms vs. benefit comparison. 5.0 LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY Per the Safe Harbor Guidelines, should a Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Group be identified during the pre -permit issuance process, written translations of vital documents must be made for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes 5% or includes 1,000 members (whichever is less) of the population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered. If there are fewer than 50 persons in a language group that reaches the 5% trigger, then vital written materials would not be translated but written notice must be given in the primary language of the LEP language group of the right to receive a competent oral interpretation of those written materials, free of cost. The safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only. Safe Harbor Guidelines are per the EPA guidance for LEP persons and are followed by DEQ when deemed appropriate. Data from ACS 2018 Table S1601 was used to assess and identify LEP groups in the area. The data used are summarized in Table 6 of Attachment D. No LEP groups were identified during the screening of demographic data therefore; the Safe Harbor provisions do not apply to this permit application. 6.0 EDUCATION ATTAINMENT Table 7 of Attachment D has summarized data from ACS Table S1501 Educational Attainment. The 1.5-mile radius encompasses categories of people identified for outreach on the basis of educational attainment. According to the US Census Bureau, 4.7% of the population of North Carolina over the age of 25 has less than a 9th-grade education, 7.9% has a high school education but no diploma, 25.9% has graduated high school (or an equivalent program), and 30.5% has a Bachelor's degree or higher. In contrast, 41.5% of individuals over 25 in Anson county have a high school education, and 9.5% have a bachelor's education or higher. Only 5.5% of individuals over 25 in Census Tract 9204 have a bachelor's education or higher. Based on these findings, educational attainment within the areas of interest is significantly less than the rest of the State of North Carolina. Enhanced public engagement, especially with communications accessible and understandable to the majority of the community, should be utilized. 7.0 LOCAL SENSITIVE RECEPTORS The EPA suggests that sensitive receptors include, but are not limited to, hospitals, schools, daycare facilities, elderly housing, and convalescent facilities. These are areas where the occupants are more susceptible to the adverse effects of exposure to toxic chemicals, pesticides, and other pollutants. SCS reviewed an aerial map for potential sensitive receptors within the 1.5-mile radius of the proposed property. Two facilities were identified: Unity Chapel church and Anson County Correctional Institution. Because both of these facilities are occupied by or may be visited by sensitive populations, they may be considered sensitive receptors and EPA suggestions may be applicable. Figure 3 in Attachment C shows the EJScreen Map with the local sensitive receptors identified. Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsenciineers.com Page 5 The Unity Chapel Church and Anson County Correctional Institution, designated sensitive receptors, shall be considered when developing enhanced public engagement for the project. 8.0 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS At design rates of approximately 500 tons per day of incoming organic material, we anticipate an average of 25 trucks per day during normal operation. However, due to normal variation in delivery volume and trailer size, it is possible that a daily truck count could reach as high as 50. In any case, the McGill Anson facility traffic impact is expected to be significantly less than 100 vehicles per day. Per NCDOT Policy on Street and Driveway Access, a Traffic Impact Study is required when the estimated trip generation is 3,000 vehicles per day or greater. The estimated trip generation for the McGill Anson facility is magnitudes less than the NCDOT requirement. Furthermore, trucks going to the McGill facility would likely have been otherwise going to the landfill, so a visible increase in congestion is not expected. The facility is not open to the public, and all traffic entering the facility must be pre -approved and inspected on -site by McGill personnel. The existing route the facility, by way of U.S. Highway 74 and entrance off of Dozer Drive, is currently heavily occupied by traffic resulting from the Anson County Landfill. Being that the McGill facility will have similar operating hours as the landfill, an observable impact to traffic, congestion, and/or local roadways is unlikely. All waste vehicles will meet or exceed NCDOT specifications, local ordinances, and McGill safety and compliance guidelines. All vehicles hauling wastes or compost will be tarped. Scale house personnel will inspect vehicles and reinforce regulations prior to trucks leaving the facility. If there are instances with drivers or companies that do not adhere to regulations on a frequent basis, they will be denied access to the facility. All trucks delivering waste materials are also required to be washed down in the McGill receiving area to prevent tracking when leaving the facility. 9.0 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT There are both protected and underserved communities within the 1.5-mile radius that may be impacted (positively or negatively) by the proposed facility. Therefore, public outreach and enhanced public engagement measures may be required to be implemented, per NCDEQ guidelines. This section outlines one possible Public Engagement Plan that reflects the needs of this particular community in Anson County. The goal of the Public Engagement Plan is to seek out and facilitate the involvement of those potentially affected. NCDEQ suggests a number of public engagement methods for underserved communities. These public engagement steps include distributing media releases when events are posted for public notice and comment, distributing social media and email messages, communicating with community stakeholders who have expressed interest, and meeting in person with interested parties to address issues of concern. NCDEQ also suggests a number of additional enhanced engagement practices to communicate with underserved communities. Those suggestions include distributing flyers, engaging non-English speakers via social media or non-English language media outlets, coordinating with community and faith -based organizations to distribute critical communications, organizing information sessions to familiarize interested community members, and working with local community members to identify methods for non -electronic notices and communications. Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsenciineers.com Page 6 With respect to the specific protected and underserved groups identified in this screening, SCS recommends McGill work with NCDEQ to incorporate a combination of standard public outreach practices, as well as some enhanced public engagement measures. Considering that limited English proficiency is not of concern for this community (as supported by Section 6.0 of this report), communications are not required to be provided in languages other than English. However, supplemental information in other languages may be made available at the public's request. Some other important considerations include providing detailed health and environmental impact information, and/or mitigation measures (see subsequent Section 10.0 of this report for more detail), of the proposed facility given the health disparities within this community compared to the state of North Carolina. McGill/NCDEQ may also tailor communications to the community education level and disabilities. Given the level of average educational attainment in the community, technical information may be presented in a way that is easily understood by the vast majority of adults, and is readily accessible in various formats. 9.1 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PLAN With the finding of this study in mind, SCS proposes several steps for a comprehensive Public Engagement Plan, outlined as follows: 1. Public Outreach and Notification -This measure includes the initial notification of the proposed project and the Solid Waste permit under review for the compost facility. The intent of this measure is to start the dialogue within the community regarding the facility and inform the public of critical milestones along the way. This can be achieved by several means. Note that physical means of communication are recommended, given the potential for `hard -to -reach' populations. a. Post information regarding the project, facility, and permit review on NCDEQ's website; b. Distribute media releases when events are posted for public notice and public comment; c. Post flyers containing project, permit, and contact information at the suggested locations within the area; i. Schools (South Piedmont Community College, Anson Early College) ii. Places of Worship (Unity Chapel Church) iii. Local Businesses (John Deere Quality Equipment, Dollar General) iv. Community Centers (Town Hall of Polkton) v. Local Government Buildings (Polkton DMV, Anson County Animal Shelter) 2. Information Sessions - A public information session is recommended over a more formal Public Hearing. One reason is that information sessions encourage questions from the public and a more open conversation between the public and regulatory agencies. Being the goal of this Plan is to encourage public participation and increase awareness of the project, holding an in -person information session may be a highly effective way to do so. Some additional considerations are: a. Schedule session(s) at times and locations that are convenient, accessible, and culturally -appropriate for potentially impacted communities; Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsengineers.com Page 7 b. Organize information session(s) to familiarize community members who maybe familiar with or understand the work conducted and services offered by the Department; c. Reiterate to community members how and where to submit public comment, if any. 3. Public Comment Period - Based on the discretion of the Department, a public comment period may be implemented during the permit review process. Per NCDEQ, the following information may be made available to the public: a. Project information, including permit application, press releases, etc.; b. Environmental Justice Screening/Report (this document); c. Contact list of agency officials with phone numbers and email addresses to allow the public to communicate via phone or internet; 4. Enhanced Communication - This includes intentionally reaching specific groups of people and/or organizations to prompt engagement. Some examples include coordinating with community and faith -based organizations, local and Tribal governments, educational institutions, and other entities to implement public engagement strategies specifically for members of historically underserved communities. Based on a review of the local area, engagement may benefit from coordinating with: a. Anson County and Town of Polkton government officials; b. Local community and non-profit organizations, such as - i. Unity Chapel Church ii. Anson County Economic Development group iii. Anson County Community Economic Services iv. Anson County Farm Bureau 5. Distribution of Programmatic Information - NCDEQ, per its own guideline, may issue additional resources and programmatic information deemed necessary. This may include, but is not limited to, posting Title VI and other nondiscrimination program information on DEQ websites and in DEQ buildings. The proposed plan outlined above, is one approached for achieving the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of the community through public engagement. It is understood that NCDEQ will evaluate this report and findings, as well as other potential factors, to make a determination on the specific methods and strategies that will be implemented. McGill and SCS are eager and willing to work with NCDEQ to further develop, revise, and/or help implement this Plan upon the Department's review. 10.0 MITIGATION MEASURES Inherently, some level of impact can be assumed from the construction of any facility, particularly that of solid waste facilities. McGill is bringing over 30 years of experience designing, building, operating, and maintaining industrial composting facilities to the proposed McGill Anson Facility. As such, McGill Anson will be expertly designed and operated in a manner which mitigates potential harms of the facility. Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsenciineers.com Page 8 10.1 ODOR AND NOISE Within modern indoor composting facilities, certain areas of the facility have the potential to produce odor -causing compounds. These odor -producing areas at composting facilities are the offloading, blending, and composting bays, and are mitigated by biofilters and operational procedures. The proposed facility will be enclosed, and all the waste processing will occur indoors. To reduce noise, especially noise from mechanical processing equipment, all composting will occur indoors. Since McGill uses similar equipment and processes at other facilities, McGill does not anticipate an increase in noise. Process air will be recycled through the composting process or will pass through a biofilter with 2 segments. Exact measurements for the biofilter will be finalized with the final design. McGill will also reduce or prevent odors by ensuring proper blending, properly prepared and filled bays, ensuring air supply fans function properly, and ensuring that the air supply fans do not exceed the total capacity of the air exhaust fans. 10.2 DUST Composting operations are performed inside a building and dust will be controlled as part of the operation. Dust produced from vehicles hauling organics or compost may be carried onto roadways or emitted into the air. Additionally, there is a potential for dust from stockpiled materials and the final screening operation. McGill will closely monitor and manage the condition of the haul road into the facility, and speed limits will be imposed on the haul road to minimize dust generation. Dust from roadways will be controlled by water application as needed. Material that is stockpiled outdoors will be wetted for dust control, as needed. The finished product that is stored in the covered storage area or stockpiled on the property will be wetted as necessary for dust control purposes. Water will be added on an as -needed basis to the compost through the final screening process. 10.3 AIR EMISSIONS Air emissions from the composting operation will be controlled through a designed biofilter to control odors and particulates from the enclosed composting operation. Air will be recycled through the process or will pass through one (1) biofilter, with two (2) segments, to remove odors. Each biofilter segment will measure approximately 140 feet by 80 feet by 4-5 feet and consist of a header duct, distribution piping, and natural wood -based media. Exact measurements will be finalized with the final design. The biofilter will be designed for a minimum residence time of 30 seconds. 10.4 TRAFFIC HAZARDS Hauler vehicles may cause minimal traffic congestion and additional wear and tear on roads. Trucks going to the McGill facility would likely have been otherwise going to the landfill, so a visible increase in congestion is not expected. Additionally, the road system leading to and from the proposed facility is designated as a truck route and therefore was designed and constructed to handle the traffic. Based on existing road conditions, no impact to the existing Level of Service of the intersections along the approach routes is anticipated due to the slight increase in truck traffic resulting from McGill facility operations. All vehicles entering the facility hauling waste or compost will be tarped. Scale house personnel will inspect vehicles and reinforce regulations prior to trucks leaving the facility. If there are instances with drivers or companies that do not adhere to regulations on a frequent basis, they will be denied access to the facility. McGill is committed to safety and has a full-time compliance manager and Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsenciineers.com Page 9 transportation manager. Together, those staff members work to ensure vehicle and staff compliance with all safety and regulatory requirements. Mandatory monthly training is held, and attendance is required. Vehicles are inspected on a routine basis and any that fail inspections are either repaired on -site or taken off -site for repair. 11.0 FACILITY BENEFITS It should be noted that, in lieu of any potential negative impacts of the facility, there are several benefits that can be attributed to the construction and operation of the McGill Anson Composting Facility in the location proposed. 11.1 ENVIRONMENTAL Composting has many environmental benefits, including carbon sequestration, increased water retention in soils, soil remediation, higher yields in agricultural crops, the reduction or elimination of the need for chemical fertilizers, and healthier turfgrass. McGill's premium compost products will be available throughout the region for use on golf courses, athletic fields, turfgrass, agricultural fields, and gardens. The proposed Facility will divert organic waste from landfills, which is a significant environmental benefit as the material will be turned into beneficial soil amendments that will be used to beautify local parks and homeowner lawns. Further, there are quantifiable reductions in greenhouse gases when composting instead of landfilling. For example, a ton of food waste that is landfilled generates 0.76 tons of CO2e, whereas if that ton of food waste was composted, the quantity of greenhouse gases generated would be a small fraction of the 0.76 tons that would be generated at the landfill. If you factor in the additional environmental benefit of carbon sequestration that compost provides, that number drops even further. One cubic yard of compost sequesters 700 pounds of CO2. Furthermore, the Facility's premium compost products will offset the amount of synthetic fertilizers being brought into the area as compost is an organic substitute that can reduce or eliminate the need for synthetic fertilizers. 11.2 SOCIAL McGill intends to directly employ approximately 15 full-time employees to operate and manage the proposed facility once constructed. The gross compensation (direct salary plus benefits) for employees is estimated to be approximately $1,372.00 per week. Based on these estimates, a potential annual employment benefit of approximately $1 million over 10 years may be realized. This benefit is dependent upon several variables that may affect workforce levels in the future, including but not limited to, operational practices, business conditions, and competition from similar industries/facilities. 11.3 ECONOMIC Tax revenues collected as a direct result of the operation of the McGill facility is a social and economic benefit of the proposed project. The proposed Facility will provide tax revenue to Polkton and Anson County. These sources of revenue include per capita employee occupation taxes and local income taxes. Construction and operation of the McGill compost facility will benefit the local and regional economy through upfront construction and capital expenditures and ongoing operational expenditures. Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsenciineers.com Page 10 Expenditures related to construction of the facility will include the costs of local labor and goods. Capital expenditures will include the purchase of waste processing equipment, transportation vehicles, and computers and instrumentation devices. Anticipated operational expenditures will include maintaining waste processing equipment (repairs and parts replacements), transportation costs (tolls, fuel cost, and vehicle maintenance), operation and maintenance of computer and other technological equipment such as equipment instrumentation, supplies necessary to support waste processing, utilities, waste disposal fees, and insurance premiums. In addition to the construction and operational expenditures, McGill's operation will produce a social and economic benefit from the payment of legal, consulting/laboratory, and engineering fees related to the construction of the facility building and equipment installation required for implementation for the proposed project. Those services include engineering design of the building, local building and land development permits and approvals, environmental permitting, contract development, construction oversight, and final certification. Some property value decreases are sometime associated with solid waste facilities. However, the proposed Facility will be built on a 30-acre property directly adjacent to the Anson County Landfill. Property values for land adjacent to a landfill are typically lower, so negative impacts to surrounding property values are not anticipated from the compost Facility, as the impacts from the existing landfill are likely greater. It may be noted that members of the Anson County board describe the proposed use for the property as `best and highest' use of the land. 12.0 CONCLUSION This report aims to evaluate the demographic and socioeconomic data associated with communities surrounding the proposed McGill Anson Composting Facility and 30-acre parcel to determine if the proposed facility could create disproportionate impacts to anyone based on race, color, national origin, or income. A review of available socioeconomic and demographic data was conducted, and based on that review the following conclusions can be made: • Race and Ethnicity - There are protected and underserved groups identified within the County and census tracts of interest requiring outreach, especially a large percentage of the local African American population. The project should pay particular attention to involving members of this community early on in the project. • Age and Sex - No groups were identified requiring special or enhanced communications in relation to this project. • Disability - Protected disability groups were identified within the geographic area of interest. Communications should be specially tailored and distributed to caregivers, and available in many different forms to account for a variety of disabilities. • Poverty and Household Income - Populations within the geographic areas of interest have a higher rate of personal and household poverty, and therefore may need an additional level of communication and engagement. The economic impacts of the proposed facility to areas with higher rates of poverty is discussed below, with mitigation measures considered. • No LEP groups were identified during the screening of demographic data. As a result, the Safe Harbor provisions do not appear to apply to this permit application. • Local Sensitive Receptors - Two facilities were identified as possible local sensitive receptors (Unity Chapel church and Anson County Correctional Institution). Additional communications may be necessary to ensure that engagement reaches visitors of such facilities. Impacts to visitors and residents of the two facilities are limited because of both Environment Justice Report, Anson County Composting Facility www.scsengineers.com Page 11 the proposed facility and the sensitive receptors and enclosed buildings. The church and the correctional facility are both approximately 1 mile from the proposed site. SCS proposes following the enhanced public engagement measures outlined above in Section 9.0 to help mitigate any undesirable impacts of the facility, along with the physical mitigation measures described in Section 10. Generally speaking, the McGill Anson Composting Facility will provide net financial and environmental benefits to the local community, and greater Anson County. These benefits will be realized through increased diversion from the landfill, beneficial use of the existing parcel adjacent to the Landfill, and the employment of local residents at the facility. McGill will play a vital role in the community through its commitment to local and regional businesses, counties, and haulers to recycle their waste in a secure, economic, and environmentally beneficial manner. As an industrial activity, composting can result in some measure of impact to the nearby community. McGill has taken the necessary steps to prevent and mitigate potential negative impacts. McGill strongly believes that the substantial environmental, social, and economic benefits of the McGill Anson Facility clearly outweigh any remaining harms that might exist after mitigation.
