Mr. Creighton:

The Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section (Section) has completed a review of
the submittal titled Summary Letter of Proposed Subsurface Exploration Plan (DIN 26353). The
document was submitted on your behalf by Kessel Engineering Group and was received in the
Asheville Regional Office on June 28, 2016.

Based on this review, the subsurface exploration plan is authorized. Please note, all reasonable
means should be utilized to ensure any excavated waste is contained on site and disposed of
properly. Additionally, all reasonable means should be utilized to ensure the integrity of the
landfill cap and waste mass during and after the completion of the exploration project. If there
are any significant changes to the plan, please submit those to the Section for approval prior to
implementation. There are no permit conditions associated with this activity so no permit
modification will be required and no permit fee assessed.

If you should have any questions regarding this matter please contact me at [phone], or
by email at [e-mail] .

Sincerely,
Allen Gaither
Environmental Engineer
