(Hensons') has constructed a yard waste processing facility (Type I) located at 116 Pond Road in Buncombe County, North Carolina. In order to meet the requirements of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Waste Management - Solid Waste Section, Hensons' has compiled the attached information as outlined in Section . 1400 - Solid Waste Compost Facilities. The plan for this facility is to produce mulch products. Future operations may include composting the materials. The Site plan drawings and specific permit documents were prepared for Hensons' by William G. Lapsley'& Associates, P.A. 1 2.4 -WASTE TYPES The facility's feedstock will consist of wood waste as described below: •Land Clearing Debris - Logs, stumps, brush, chips, etc. associated with land clearing operations. •Yard Waste - Tree and brush residue, residential waste such as tree prunings, grass, leaves, etc. •Commercial and Institutional Wood Waste - Untreated and unpainted wooden crates, pallets, etc. that are not contaminated with plastics or food waste. The facility will not accept treated engineered wood products such as plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), or particleboard. The facility is designed to process approximately 300,000 cubic years (CY) of wood waste per year. The maximum amount of material on site will be approximately 50,000 CY at any given time. The majority of this material will come from land clearing operations. The material will be generated year round with an increase during the drier summer months. The facility utilizes natural soils as a pad. A soil evaluation was conducted. The soil is predominately clay, and the seasonal high water table is greater than 12 inches below the surface. 2.5 -SITE PLAN The facility site plan (1"=50') is included with this permit application (Exhibit "A"). Generally, the existing site slopes at 5% to 45%. The site has been modified such that it will generally slope 2% to 5% in the storage areas. The wood waste piles will be constructed to facilitate drainage. Run-off collection and diversion control devices, as well as all processing areas and structures, are shown on the site plan. Processing areas are shown in Figure 1. 5 2.6 -OPERATION DESCRIPTION The following information describes the facility operation: Facility Operator: Ellis Fincher Jr.Hensons', Inc. I 05 Ridge Road Tryon, NC 28782 (828)859-5836 The facility will accept various types of uncontaminated wood waste. Some of the wood waste will be ground prior to arriving at the site, and other material will be ground on site. Various types of products may be produced with the ground wood waste to include mulch, aged mulch, and compost. To produce these marketable products, any or all of the following may occur on site: Windrowing: Material will be piles in windrows that are approximate! y eight feet tall. The material will "age" and be periodically turned with a front end loader. Composting: Material may be composted utilizing the windrow process. Windrow composting will be accomplished by placing material in long piles that are approximately 16 feet wide and six to eight feet high. The windrows will be periodically turned using a front end loader, If any material is sold as a compost, it will be maintained above 131 °F and aerated (turned) for a minimum of three days. Temperatures will be taken daily until the 131 °F for three days has been met and then a. minimum of weekly. The temperatures will be taken using a three foot long dial type temperature thermometer at 50 foot intervals down the length of the windrow. Windrows being composted will be turned based on temperature measurement. The exact procedure is described in the Operations and Maintenance Manual. Aeration will be provided to the . composting material when it is turned. Between turnings, the material will be porous enough to allow passive aeration (natural convection and diffusion). Screening: Various types of screens and screen sizes will be utilized on site. The screens will allow sizing of wood materials to meet specific market demands. Any "avers" from the screening process will be incorporated back into the new wood .waste. Grinding: Grinding will be used for size reduction and help meet material specifications based on market demands. 6 HENSONS' INC. ASHEVILLE WOOD YARD 116 Pond Road Asheville NC 28806 (TYPE I YARD WASTE COMPOST FACILITY) OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Prepared for: Hensons' Inc. 105 Ridge Road PO Box 1060 Tryon, North Carolina 28782 Phone 828-859-5836 Fax 828-859-9091 Prepared by: WILLIAM G. LAPSLEY & ASSOCIATES, P.A. CONSULTING ENGINEERS 1635 Asheville Highway PO Box 546 Hendersonville, NC 28793 Revised December 2010 Reviewed for Submittal January 2016 1.0 -INTRODUCTION This Operations and maintenance (O&M) Manual was prepared for Hensons' Inc., Asheville Wood Yard. The objective of this O&M Manual is to provide guidance for operators and outline required activities so that the facility operates in accordance with State (N.C.) regulations and wood waste processing is undertaken with proper regard for the health and safety of the facility operators and neighbors. The Wood waste Processing Facility is located in Buncombe County. Operations at the facility will not follow a precise routine. Specific operations will be performed depending on the type and amount of incoming material and the materials being prepared for market. Depending on the specific operations on any given day, several personnel may be on site processing material. Listed below are some general operations typically performed by personnel at the facility. •Drivers -Haul feedstocks and finished materials •Front End Loader Operator -Load trucks, move material, feed screen, and feed grinder •Grinder Operator-Reduce size of wood material •Screen Operator-Size the final product The operating schedule varies depending on the type and quantity. of incoming materials and the priorities of the day. The operations may be performed seven days per week depending on the work to be accomplished. Material will not be received nor processed before sunrise or after sunset to minimize noise and other impacts on surrounding neighbors. The permitted facility is also registered with the Division of Waste Management as a temporary disaster debris staging site, TDDS Site DS11-004. Registry documentation is attached. 2.2 -LEACHATE TREATMENT The wood waste piles are to be shaped to direct storm water runoff away from the piles rather than through them. This will control the generation of leachate. All runoff from this site is collected in the storm water sediment basins as shown on the site plan prior to discharge to surface waters. 2.3 -SITE ACCESS Uncontrolled public access is not allowed. An operator is on duty at the site while the facility is open for public use. The entrance gate will be locked when an operator is not on site. The road to the site is properly maintained to allow all -weather access. 2.4 -SIGNS Signs stating that "no hazardous waste, asbestos containing waste, or medical waste is allowed on site" are posted at the site entrance. Signs providing information on wastes that are acceptable and dumping procedures are also posted at the site entrance. A copy of the signs utilized is included as Exhibit "A." 2.5 -MATERIALS RECEIVING The material receiving area has been noted on Figure 1. Incoming waste is inspected and unacceptable materials are loaded back on the truck that brought it in and directed to a permitted solid waste landfill. Ground and ungrounded materials are acceptable on the site. Acceptable materials include: •Yard Waste -Tree and brush residue, residential waste such as tree pruning, grass, leaves, etc. •Land Clearing Debris -Logs, stumps, brush, chip, etc. associated with land clearing operations •Commercial and Institutional Wood Waste -Untreated and unpainted wooden crates, pallets, etc. that are not contaminated with plastics or food waste.
