This permit approves the Facility Plan (DIN 26656) that defines the comprehensive development of the 101-acre waste footprint of the MSWLF unit which consists of six (6)- phased developments – Phases 1 through 6. This landfill unit has an approved gross capacity of 13,948,700 cubic yards (CY) which is measured from the top of the protective cover to the top of final cover as shown on the Drawing Nos. FP-08 & FP-09 (DIN 26656) and summarized in the following table: Incremental Phase Development Acreage Gross Capacity (cubic yard) Status IRL(3) 20.2 5,198,300 Closed Phase 1 20.5 Filled & inactive Phase 2 17.2 Phase 3 19.7 724,625 Filled & inactive 1,126,375 Remained capacity (2) Phase 4 23.4 2,354,000 Approved to be developed for a landfill & a new PTC is required Phase 5 Vertical expansion 2,745,000 Phase 6 Vertical expansion 1,800,400 Total 101 13,948,700(1) Notes: (1) The total gross capacity of the landfill has reduced from the original approved 15,500,000 CY to 13,948,700 CY. The gross capacity reduction results from two reasons: (i) the final grade elevation of the landfill has reduced from originally approved 278 feet above mean sea level (amsl) to 270 feet amsl and (ii) the northern landfill footprints of the new Phase 3 was reduced to allow more room for landfill access roads on the north side of the landfill. (2) Phase 3 has the approved gross capacity of 1,851,000 CY. As of June 30, 2015, in- placed waste volume of approximately 724,625 CY is documented, and the remaining capacity of Phase 3 is approximately 1,126,375 CY. (3) IRL = Interim Regional Landfill. 2. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-295.8(b)(1), the design or construction of any future phases – Phases 4, 5 or 6 of this MSWLF unit as stated in the Permit Condition No. 1 of the Attachment 2 of this permit resulting in any change to the approved engineering plan requires written approval of the Section. The permittee shall submit the Section a major permit modification application to the approved permit to construct application, which shall be prepared according to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .1617 for review and approval before construction activities commence. 3.
