Due to market demand New River Tire Recycling LLC has decided to relocate the entire operation to North Carolina, and apply for a permit through the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. 1.1 Name and Location of Facility – 15A NCAC 13B.1106(d)(1) New River Tire Recycling LLC 312 E Hwy 52 Pilot Mountain NC 27041 (276)728-0201 1.2 Owner and Operator Information – 15A NCAC 13B.1106(d)(2) and (3) Site Operator and Operator New River Tire Recycling LLC 312 E Hwy 52 Pilot Mountain NC 27041 (276)728-0201 2 1.3 Aerial Mapping - 15A NCAC 13B.1106(d)(4) A site location map, facility property boundary, and scrap tire collection and processing facility layout is included in this plan. The operation is contained within two tracts of adjoining land that is approximately 27.9 acres. See Appendix J. 1.4 Facility Operations – 15A NCAC13B.1106(d)(5) Whole scrap tires arrive at the facility site on trailers, box trucks, or the equivalent transport vehicle. When the vehicles arrive they are weighed on scales in the front of the building. Then the vehicle is directed to the designated unloading area that is noted on the site map. At the operators discretion some vehicles or trailers will be directed or placed in a trailer storage area noted on the site map to be weighed at a later time. In the unloading area there will be a trailer tipper that empties the trailer onto the outdoor concrete floor. Tires are sorted as they are unloaded or from the #1 shredder in-feed belt. Tires suitable for resale are stacked on trailers or in designated storage areas denoted on site map. Some Truck and OTR tires are shredded in the truck line as noted on the map. TDF LINE Scrap tires are shredded through two Raptor shredders. After being shredded the chips are conveyed outside to a storage area. Some of the tire chips are brought into the building to be processed through the Raptor Wire line to separate the wire and rubber. The rubber is conveyed into hoppers for inside storage or conveyed outside for storage in the shipping area. TRUCK TIRE LINE Truck tires are unloaded at one of 10 docks around the facility building. Truck tires are unloaded and sorted inside or outside the building. The re-saleable tires are placed on a trailer to be wholesaled. The truck tires are shredded through an SSI shredder and made into a 2” 3 chip. That chip remains outside until it is brought inside the building to be processed through the Raptor Wire Line. OTR TIRES OTR tires are unloaded in the unloading area and are sold for water tanks, re-capping, or sheared into pieces for shredding in one of the two shredding lines. CRUMB LINE At some times when there is market demand, NRTR may choose to process some of the tire chips into crumb rubber. The process is through granulator(s) and/or cracker mills. The process is laid out on the Machinery Layout, Appendix K. 1.5 Source and Quantity of Tires Received, Stored, Shipped Offsite – 15A NCAC 13B.1106(d)(6) New River Tire Recycling receives around 1,000 tons of waste tires per month.

A copy of the Bond is included in Appendix C. 2.0 PURPOSE 5 The purpose of this section is to demonstrate compliance with Siting Criteria per rule 15A NCAC 13B.1106(c). 2.1 Proximity to 100-year Flood Plain - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(1) The operation is located outside the 100-year flood plain.

Business hours for receiving tires are 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. The facility is totally enclosed by a 6 foot tall fence with 3 strands of barbed wire. 2.9 Liquid Runoff from Tire Fire - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(9) The design of the facility storm drains allows for piles of dirt to be kept in close proximity to each drain. In the event of a fire where liquid runoff is a concern, the dirt would be used to berm the drains to prevent any runoff. After the drains are bermed, there is sufficient surface area that is below grade to encapsulate extremely high volumes of liquid that could be pumped or skimmed and treated if necessary. 2.10 Provider of Fire Protection Services - 15A NCAC13B.1106(c)(10) Pilot Knob Volunteer Fire Department will respond to the facility address in the event of a fire or emergency.
