RE: Permit Renewal (Permit # 41-R)
Viewmont Quarry LCID
Guilford County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Mussler:
On behalf of Viewmont Sandrock and Martin Marietta, Amec Foster Wheeler is submitting this
application for a permit renewal. The original permit, prepared for A-1 Sandrock, Inc., ca. 2002,
was intended to serve as the reclamation stage of a then-active surface mine for borrow soil,
i.e., a weathered granite saprolite known locally as “sandrock”. A-1 Sandrock, Inc. sold the
property to Viewmont Sandrock, Inc. in late 2003. The subject permit was re-permitted as
Viewmont Sandrock ca. early 2004 and renewed in April 2010 pursuant to an application
prepared by David Garrett & Associates for Viewmont Sandrock. Martin Marietta bought the
property in 2012. To date, the LCID has remained inactive, but the owners wish to keep the
permit open for possible future reclamation activities. The property remains under a mine
permit from the Division of Land Resources, which also keeps the property under an active
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Viewmont Sandrock has operated a temporary LCID processing stockpile within another portion
of the property, outside of the permitted LCID disposal site (a “two-acre notification” site)
permitted ca. 2004. Viewmont Sandrock also has also reclaimed other portions of the mine site
by placing “beneficial fill” as defined by the Solid Waste Rules. At this time, it should be
assumed that all previous operations will remain authorized, but the new owners may not
continue these operations. There remain two unpermitted LCID disposal units on the premises,
which were closed under prior ownership (not A-1 Sandrock) and will not be reopened. The
various solid waste units and topographic features are shown on the enclosed General Facility
Map.
Please refer to the updated Facility Plan and Operations Plan documents (enclosed), which has
been prepared for electronic submittal in PDF format. The owners understand that the limits of
the LCID footprint addressed in Permit 41-R will be restricted to the original permit lines and
grades, unless further permit amendments are made. All solid waste activities conducted by

PART 1 – FACILITY PLAN
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The Viewmont LCID is owned by Martin Marietta, (formerly Viewmont Sandrock, Inc.). The
site is located south of Greensboro, accessible from I-85 Business via the Holden Road or
Groometown Road exits and Bishop Road. The LCID Disposal Unit, which remains unbuilt at
present, was originally permitted as two footprints consisting of 12.4 acres to the south of an
unnamed tributary that divides the site and 5.1 acres to the north of the unnamed tributary (refer
to Section 1.2).
The facility address is 4048 Viewmont Road, Greensboro, NC 27406.
Map coordinates for the original 42-acre tract, which includes the subject LCID site, are
latitude 35.9967 and longitude -79.85505.
Guilford County PIN number for the original 42-acre tract is 12-03-0185-0-0755-S-015
(see Figure 1), and the two adjoining tracts that comprise the 148-acre mine permit
boundary are 12-03-0185-0-0755-S-010 and 12-03-0183-0-0755-N-004.
A LCID Processing Facility (permitted as a “two-acre stockpile”) exists outside the boundary
of Solid Waste Permit #41-R, for the temporary storage and periodic grinding of LCID materials.
Most of the ground materials are used on-site for erosion control. A portion of the mine site is
being reclaimed with “beneficial fill” that meets Solid Waste Section definitions. Two closed
LCID disposal units are located outside the subject LCID footprint. The LCID stockpile,
beneficial fill activities, and closed LCID units historically are independent of Permit #41-R; this
discussion documents these activities as permitted within the mine facility boundary. All solid
waste activities and areas are shown in the Facility Plan Drawings.
The facility is largely surrounded by commercial/industrial sites, with some residences toward
the south. Neighboring facilities include mines and landfills (Doggett and A-1 Sandrock), an
asphalt plant, two trucking terminals, a MSW Transfer Station (Republic Services, Inc.),
Guilford County’s White Goods and Tire Recycling facilities, two closed LCID units, and an
auto salvage yard. The LCID site is not visible from any roads due to natural screening. The
nearest known water wells are more than 900 feet from the LCID disposal unit.
Natural ground elevations vary from Elevation 820 near center of the LCID Phase 1 footprint to
Elevation 740 at the tributary along the south property line. Local topography is typically hilly
with a wide floodplain along the unnamed tributary. The local streams serve as the ground water
receptors. Drainage within the LCID footprint is primarily to the north, toward an unnamed
tributary that flows southeast and joins Hickory Creek within the southern portion of the mine
facility boundary. Due to the drainage reconfiguration, the original plans for the 5.1 acre
footprint to the north of the unnamed tributary were deleted from the application in 2004.

The facility is located within the General Watershed Area of the Randleman Reservoir.
Drainage within Phases 1 and 2 of the LCID is to the north (toward the tributary) then to the
southeast. Original drainage in the Phase 3 area was to the south (toward the unnamed tributary)
but due to mining activities the drainage is now to the east, where it is passes through the main
sump and pump station. Surface water removed from the mine is discharged under a NPDES
General Permit. The unnamed tributary joins two other tributaries in the southern portion of the
148-acre tract, forming the head of Hickory Creek. All of the tributaries are “blue-line” features
that originate north of I-85. The Sedimentation and Erosion Control (S&EC) plan for the entire
site is under the jurisdiction of the North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ)
Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section – there are currently approved S&EC
measures in place for the unbuilt LCID site.

The permitted waste stream for the disposal facility shall consist entirely of Land Clearing Inert
Debris (LCID) generated by local development, while the LCID Processing Facility (stockpile)
accepts clean wood waste – mostly tree debris but includes pallets, non-painted and non-treated
dimension lumber scraps from construction projects. Currently, no yard wastes or “green”
vegetation debris shall be accepted at the Processing Facility, except a minor amount of leaves
that might come in with tree trimmings. No Construction and Demolition (C&D) or Municipal
Solid Waste (MSW) is accepted at either facility. The two permitted waste streams are kept
separate, within entirely different areas of the site with physical barriers (e.g., topography) and
directional signs to keep the waste streams from co-mingling. Facility staff is trained to spot
inappropriate wastes within the respective areas and enforce a strict waste acceptance policy. A
covered roll-off box is placed on the premises for unacceptable wastes that may arrive
incidentally, including MSW, which is transported to a disposal facility weekly.
Daily intake tonnages for the LCID, once opened, are expected to vary from 75 to 100 tons per
day. The LCID Processing Facility currently receives only a few loads per week, with intake
typically limited to keep the stockpile volume below 6,000 cubic yards per quarter. Records are
kept at the entrance gate on incoming material quantities by truck size and weight. Typically, the
customer base is well known, which provides the facility a high degree of control over the waste
acceptance policy. Typically the entire LCID waste stream is recycled at the LCID Processing
Facility into mulch for on-site use, but occasionally some mulch is distributed off-site to
commercial landscapers. The LCID Processing Facility is limited in size to 6,000 cubic yards
per quarter, and records of periodic processing and use of the materials are kept on-site. Access
to the stockpile is sufficient for fire protection. The facility is available as a storm debris
repository for the community if needed. For this permit renewal, the LCID facility covers only
Phases 1 and 2 on the original 42 acres, as it was issued in 2003 to Viewmont Sandrock. Phase
1 covers 5.7 acres and is expected to contain 134,132 cubic yards of total airspace, while the
Phase 2 covers 6.9 acres and will contain 272,328 cubic yards, bringing the total footprint to 12.6
acres and the total airspace for both phases to 406,460 cubic yards.
1.2 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
The site is located on a 42-acre tract that was operated prior to 2003 by A-1 Sandrock, Inc., and
sold Viewmont Sandrock, Inc in 2003. The LCID Permit #41-R was reissued to Viewmont
Sandrock in March 2004. The 42-acre tract was physically joined to two larger tracts to the east,
bringing the mine permit boundary to 148 acres (Mine Permit #41-23), but for the purposes of
the solid waste permit (#41-R) the facility boundary is limited to the original 42-acre parcel. The
area south of the unnamed tributary (Phases 1 and 2 of the LCID) have been disturbed since the
property transfer. Active mining is currently taking place on the north side of the unnamed
tributary.

1.3 PERMIT AMENDMENTS
This document was prepared to meet Solid Waste Section requirements of the comprehensive
Facility Plan and Operations Plan. This document presents a combined Operations Plan,
covering both the future LCID Disposal Unit and the LCID Processing Facility. This plan
focuses on waste acceptance and placement for the disposal operations and for the processing of
LCID (grinding and stockpiling), emphasizing procedures and mechanisms to keep the waste
streams separate – this will be accomplished via strict attention to the waste acceptance criteria.
At this time, there are no footprint changes proposed for the LCID Disposal Unit.
Additions to this plan include a Waste Screening and Inspection Program (see Appendix 2),
which includes the formerly submitted Waste Screening Form, and though unlikely to be
needed, a Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan (see Appendix 3) and a list of Emergency
Responders and Other Useful Contacts (see Appendix 4) is now incorporated into this plan to
be consistent with similar facilities. Guilford County has a document on their web site to
provide contractors and private citizens with guidance on disposing of C&D and MSW wastes
(not accepted at this facility) which includes a list and location of C&D recycling and disposal
facilities and MSW Transfer Stations in the area (see Appendix 5).
Due to concerns over fires in other LCID landfills, an upgrade to fire prevention and fire
response procedures is contained in the text, and a Fire Notification Form (see Appendix 6) is
included to report any fires within the facility to the Solid Waste Section. Additional revisions
include maintaining the working face of the disposal area to a maximum size of one acre.
Periodic cover shall be applied at least monthly (or when the working face exceeds one acre), in
accordance with the current Solid Waste Rules pertaining to LCID landfills (see Appendix 7).
Personnel training and regulatory requirements for annual surveys and reporting of data shall be
observed. The landfill will implement “incremental closure” procedures, in which outer slopes
that are brought to final grade will be closed by placing final cover soil and protective measures,
including vegetation and runoff conveyances, in maximum 5-acre increments.
2.0 SITING CRITERIA - .0564 (1) - (10)
2.1 FLOOD PLAIN -.0564 (1)
The proposed landfill will not be located within a floodplain as defined by the Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 370111 0181 C, Guilford County (November 1988). An excerpt of this
map is presented in Appendix 1A. The map identifies a floodplain along Hickory Creek, located
several hundred feet east of the site. An unnamed tributary flows through the proposed landfill
site. No solid waste disposal activities will take place within 50 feet of any stream.
2.2 ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SPECIES - .0564 (2)
An environmental assessment report was prepared by a hired consultant, Habitat Assessment and
Restoration Program, Inc., ca. July 2000. Based on that report, presented in Appendix 1, no
endangered plant or animal species have been identified at the site.
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 14, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 7
2.3 CRITICAL HABITATS - .0564 (3)
The environmental assessment report (see above), identified no critical habitats of endangered
plant or animal species on the site. All of the proposed landfill area has been disturbed due to
previous mining activities. The report made no recommendations for further studies.
2.4 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SITE - .0564 (4)
A letter prepared by the NC Department of Cultural Resources, State Historic Preservation
Office, dated August 24, 2001 (see Appendix 1), indicates no comments on the proposed site
activities relative to properties of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance.
2.5 STATE NATURE AND HISTORIC PRESERVE - .0564 (5)
The site is not located within a State Nature and Historic Preserve area. This is indicated by
letter from the NC Natural Heritage Program, dated July 28, 2000 (See Appendix 1).
2.6 WETLANDS -.0564 (6)
The proposed crossing of an unnamed tributary to Hickory Creek has been granted a Nationwide
Wetlands Permit (NWP 14). This work is required to access areas north of the tributary. No
other wetlands impacts are anticipated for this project. The NWP 14 Permit is presented in
Appendix 1. Please note: The stream crossing has not been built, and it will be necessary to
renew the NWP-14 permit at a future time prior to the construction.
2.7 COVER SOILS -.0564 (7)
Soil for periodic cover will be derived from both on-site and off-site sources. A geotechnical
exploration of the site (Appendix 1) indicates suitable resources of weathered granite, known
locally as “sandrock,” existing on the north site of the unnamed tributary. It is tentatively
estimated that the required soil volumes for periodic cover will be approximately 5% of the
estimated volumetric capacity, or 30,000 cubic yards. Soil cover will be applied monthly, or
whenever the working face reaches one acre in size (see Operations Plan). Final closure of the
proposed LCID will require an estimated 22,000 cubic yards of soil. The minimum final cover
requirements are one foot of soil.
On-site soil resources include the mining operations on the north side of the unnamed tributary.
A summary of testing on these soils is presented on Table 2 and in Appendix 1. Near surface
soils that have limited value as structural fill (for which sandrock is typically marketed) are
available for cover soil, and both the sandrock and overburden soils make excellent landfill cover
material. The facility accepts soil from various construction sites in the region, subject to
acceptance criteria that no contaminated soils are brought onto the site. Alternative cover
materials, e.g., inert debris used as beneficial fill, might also be considered as cover material.

2.8 SURFACE AND GROUND WATER -.0564 (8) (a) - (d)
The proposed landfill will not cause a discharge of pollutants into adjacent surface water bodies
that is in violation of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). An
NPDES permit is not typically issued to a landfill. The facility will not cause a discharge of
dredged material or fill into waters of the State, with the exception of the proposed stream
crossing (see Section 2.6), nor shall the facility constitute a non-point source of pollution that
violates water quality standards. This will be accomplished by appropriate waste acceptance
criteria and careful operations.
Since the facility is greater than two acres in size, the minimum 4 feet of separation between the
waste and ground water applies. Ground water observations made by others were modified with
historical data from a nearby monitored facility (see Appendix 1) to determine the estimated
seasonal high water table. Ground water levels at the subject site were compared to those of the
nearby site, also located in a sandrock formation with similar ground surface topography and
proximity to a water body. At monitoring wells situated in a similar hydrogeologic setting as the
subject site, water levels have fluctuated approximately 3 feet during a period of record spanning
up to 5 years. During that time the region has experienced extremes of climatic conditions,
including very wet weather, i.e. the “El Nino” winter of 1997-98 and various tropical storms, as
well as droughts (see Appendix 1).
A ground water potentiometric surface map, generated from the on-site piezometer observations
(Appendix 1), is presented as Drawing S4 in the accompanying plan set. Potentiometric
surfaces shown on Drawing S4 represent the highest recorded water levels at the subject site,
and data at each piezometer presents the estimated maximum seasonal high water level by
adding 3 feet based on the historical data. The proposed grading plan was prepared to provide
the required 4 feet of separation. It should be noted that the planning and operation of the mine
incorporated plans to eventually convert the excavation to a landfill, so the vertical separation
criteria has been observed throughout the mining operation.
2.9 BUFFER REQUIREMENTS -.0564 (9)
The layout of the proposed LCID meets the following horizontal buffer requirements: 50 feet
minimum between the proposed waste boundary and all surface waters, including wetlands, and
100 feet to property lines and existing residential dwellings, commercial buildings and wells.
These buffers are clearly marked in the accompanying plan set.
2.10 ZONING ORDINANCE -.0564 (10)
The property is zoned HI-SP (heavy industrial with special use), which was put into place for the
current mining operations. The Special Use Permit acknowledges plans to construct a LCID
landfill and/or a C&D landfill on the subject property at the conclusion of the active mining
operation.

Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 14, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 9
3.1 REQUIRED INFORMATION - .0565 (1)
3.1.1 Local Government Approval -.0565 (1)(a) – A letter from the Guilford County
Planning Department stating that the zoning of the subject property is HI-SP is presented in
Appendix E.
3.1.2 Location - .0565 (1) (b) – The location of the subject site on a county road map is
presented on the cover sheet of the accompanying plan set.
3.1.3 Ground Water Separation - .0565 (1) (c) – Information showing that the proposed
bottom of waste is a minimum of 4 feet below the estimated seasonal high water table is
presented on Drawing S4 in the accompanying plan set. On-site ground water data used to
develop this map are found in Table 3 and Appendix 1. Refer to Section 2.8 and Appendix 1.
3.1.4 Rule .0564 Compliance - .0565 (1) (d) – Refer to Section 2 of this report for specific
information pertaining to compliance with this Rule.
3.1.5 Legal Description -.0565 (1) (e) – A legal description of the site is provided with the
zoning verification letter, presented in Appendix 1. An Instrument of Combination,
documenting the joining of two or more parcels of property into one facility boundary, is also
presented in Appendix 1E.
3.1.6 Other Information - .0565 (1) (f): Projected Life – The following calculations are based
in part on operational history of an earlier nearby LCID (A-1 Sandrock, Inc.) and projected
future use of the new LCID. Since the weight of the various components of the waste stream
vary significantly, it is not feasible to base the life expectancy calculations on unit weight.
Rather, the volume of the waste stream, projected into months or years, provides a more realistic
basis for determining the operational life.
An earlier projection of the daily waste stream, made by others for the former C&D landfill, is
excerpted below to include only acceptable wastes for the LCID. These projections have been
modified to reflect more recent waste stream trends. However, it should be realized that the
waste stream will be seasonal and subject to regional economic growth, as well as market-
specific factors, i.e. the potential for other landfills to open or close.
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 14, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 10
The average daily waste stream projection is:
Concrete 4 tandem-axle trucks per day 10 c.y. each 40 c.y.
Stumps 10 single-axle trucks per day 7 c.y. each 70 c.y.
Bricks 2 single-axle trucks per day 7 c.y. each 14 c.y.
Wood waste 6 single-axle trucks per day 7 c.y. each 42 c.y.
2 tandem-axle trucks per day 10 c.y. each 20 c.y.
Brush 8 tandem-axle trucks per day 10 c.y. each 80 c.y.
Total 32 trucks per day 266 c.y./day
It is assumed that the LCID will operate 5.5 days per week, with 280 working days per year. The
average daily waste stream can be converted to a conservative estimate of in-situ cubic yards by
assuming the size of the trucks delivering the wastes (see table), then assuming a reduction factor
of 20% for in-situ compacted volume. Typically, vegetative wastes (brush, limbs, etc.) are low
density and do not initially compact well. Long-term settlement may provide more actual
disposal capacity.
The above assumptions yield an estimated annual airspace consumption of 74,480 cubic yards.
Based on a net waste disposal capacity of 634,557 cubic yards (see Appendix 1), the projected
operational life of the facility (all phases) is 8.5 years. Phases 1 and 2 are contiguous on the
south side of the unnamed tributary and will provide an estimated 4.9 years of capacity, which
coincides with the 5-year permit renewal cycle. The operational life expectancy will be revised
based on future performance.
3.2 AERIAL MAPPING (Quarter-Mile) - .0565 (2)
A topographic map encompassing the site boundary and quarter-mile radius is presented in the
accompanying plan set. The following requirements are shown on the aerial map.
3.2.1 Entire Property - .0565 (2) (a) – The facility boundary and proposed LCID landfill are
clearly identified in the plan drawings.
3.2.2 Nearby Structures, Wells and Water Courses - .0565 (2) (b) – The accompanying
Facility Plan (Drawing S2) shows the nearest homes and buildings (which are owned by the
same owners as the proposed LCID landfill), utilities, roads, wells, and water courses.
3.2.3 100-Year Flood Boundaries - .0565 (2) (c) – The 100-year flood boundary along
Hickory Creek (discussed in Section 2.1) is delineated on the Facility Plan (Drawing S3).
3.2.4 Wetlands Boundaries - .0565 (2) (d) – No wetlands boundaries exist within the
proposed LCID fill areas. The approximate location of the proposed stream crossing covered
under the NWP 14 is shown on all relevant plan drawings.

3.2.5 Historical/Archaeological Sites - .0565 (2) (e) – None identified (see Appendix 1).
3.2.6 Parks and Recreation Areas - .0565 (2) (f) – None identified (see Appendix 1).
3.3 FACILITY PLAN - .0565 (3)
Refer to Part 2 of this document for the Facility Plan Drawings.
3.3.1 Site Boundary - .0565 (3) (a) – Drawing S4 shows the current property boundary.
3.3.2 Easements and Right-of-Way - .0565 (3) (b) – There are no easements or rights-of-way
identified within the proposed LCID areas.
3.3.3 On-Site Structures - .0565 (3) (c) – No on-site structures exist at the site of the LCID.
The gate house and maintenance buildings are located east of the LCID within the in mine permit
boundary.
3.3.4 Access and Egress - .0565 (3) (d) – The only access/egress point is located on Viewmont
Road, at the main entrance to the mine. A gate prevents unauthorized outside of business hours.
Access from other directions is restricted by natural geographic features, e.g. moderately steep,
wooded terrain with no current roads and the unnamed tributary.
3.3.5 Set-Back Buffers - .0565 (3) (e) – Applicable stream and property boundary setbacks,
discussed in Section 2.9, are shown on Drawing S4.
3.3.6 Water Courses and Wetlands - .0565 (3) (f) and (g) – The only water course on the
subject property is the unnamed tributary, shown on all relevant drawings in the plan set. There
are associated wetlands within the tree line, within the 50-foot stream setback (no disturbance
will occur within this area).
3.3.7 Waste Boundary - .0565 (3) (h) – The waste boundary, identified on Drawing S4
(Facility Plan) and Drawing E1 (Base Grading Plan), coincides with the 100-foot property
boundary setback.
3.3.8 Existing Topography - .0565 (3) (i) and (j) – Existing topography, proposed grading
plan, and proposed final contours is shown at a 2-foot contour interval on Drawing S3. The
source of the topographic contours within the facility boundary is an aerial survey performed in
March 2001. There have been no changes in the topography within Phases 1 and 2 since the
original permit documents were produced.
3.3.9 Proposed Grading Plan - .0565 (3) (i) – The proposed grading plan is shown on
Drawing E1 for Phases 1 and 2, and on Drawing E2 for Phase 3 (the Phase 3 grading plan is
now obsolete due to changes in the mine geometry). The grading plan is tentative, since the
sandrock excavations will not extend deeper than is commercially viable (i.e. if rock is
encountered). This is not a problem from a regulatory standpoint, since there is no liner of

Page 12
leachate collection system. Thus, if these grades cannot be achieved, the only harm is decreased
airspace. The grading plan requires a minor amount of fill material to achieve desired grades
within a drainage feature located in Phase 2. This fill may be performed incrementally with the
placement of waste to reduce initial capital expenditures. Interior slopes will be at 3H:1V ratios.
3.3.10 Proposed Final Contours - .0565 (3) (j) – Proposed final grades are shown on Drawing
E3 for Phases 1 and 2, and on Drawing E4 for Phase 3 (the Phase 3 grading plan is now
obsolete due to changes in the mine geometry). Exterior slope ratios will be 3H:1V.
3.3.9 Proposed Borrow Site - .0565 (3) (k) – Potential soil borrow sites are located across the
unnamed tributary (north of the proposed LCID). Plans are to excavate these sites as needed for
periodic cover and final cover. The borrow sites are shown on the Facility Plan.
3.3.10 Sedimentation and Erosion Control -.0503 (2) (l) and (m) – Highlights of the S&EC
plan prepared for the mine permit are shown in the Facility Drawings. The plan was reviewed by
the NC Division of Land Quality, Winston-Salem Regional Office and remains in force.
3.3.11 Test Boring Locations - .0565 (3) (n) – See Drawing S4.
3.3.12 Cross Sections - .0565 (3) (o) – See Drawings E6 and E7.
3.4 OPERATIONS PLAN - .0565 (4) and .0566 (1) - (16)
See Part 3 of this document for the complete Operations Plan (excerpts provided below).
3.4.1 Responsible Parties - .0565 (4) (a) – Mr. Jay Nivens
Martin Marrieta
8701 Red Oak Blvd.
Charlotte, NC 28217
Telephone 704-409-1475
3.4.2 Projected Land Use - .0565 (4) (b) – Tentative plans for completion of the proposed
LCID are to convert the relatively flatter cap areas (nominal 2% to 5% grades) to
commercial/industrial properties, e.g., parking areas for trucks or equipment and relatively light-
weight prefabricated steel structures. Alternatively, the cap areas might be utilized for stockpile
areas for mulch or other short-term solid waste storage activities. Such post-closure
development will necessitate installation of a thicker than minimum soil cover on the caps to
isolate the wastes. Redevelopment of the side slope areas is not anticipated. Post-closure
maintenance shall be required to ensure proper waste coverage.
3.4.3 Systematic Development and Closure - .0565 (4) (c) – The Operations Plan will
address a scheme for filling and incrementally closing side slopes, beginning in the eastern
portion of the footprint and progressing westward. The main sediment basin (an upgrade of an
existing basin) will need to be installed prior to the operational period. Existing drainage swales
and basins will be maintained in service as temporary features for as long as possible to spread

out construction costs. The incremental closure of side slopes will proceed whenever an exterior
slope has achieved final grades. Typically, exterior slopes will be closed in one- to two-acre
increments. Vegetation will be established on all slopes as soon as the soil cover has been
placed. For now it is assumed that the final closure will meet the regulatory minimum cover
thickness requirement (12 inches). At some future time, the final cover plan may be modified to
accommodate post-closure site development plans.
3.4.4 Waste Characterization - .0565 (4) (d) – The LCID shall only accept permitted waste
streams, tentatively identified as land clearing wastes, inert debris (non-contaminated soil, rock,
concrete, brick, block, other rubble), untreated wood, and yard wastes. The facility will engage
in other solid waste management activities, e.g., wood waste recycling and other recycling,
possibly composting, in areas outside of the proposed LCID footprint. Wastes will be sorted at
the gate to the extent possible and directed to the appropriate portion of the site for processing or
disposal. Some inert wastes will be used as beneficial fill on-site for roadways and storm water
conveyances. No liquid or hazardous wastes will be accepted, nor will household garbage be
disposed on-site.
3.4.5 Emergency Contingency Plan - .0565 (4) (e) – The primary emergency of concern,
relative to landfill operations, involves fire and rescue. The Pinecroft-Sedgefield Fire
Department, located at 2239 Bishop Road, is available for fighting fires. Stockpiles of soil shall
be kept on-hand for fighting larger fires that might involve the waste during the operational
period. The existing mining operations and LCID Processing Facility on the premises have
exhibited a good operational record with no documented fires. The Operations Plan (Part 3)
presents a detailed contingency plan for inclement weather and other emergencies.

PART 3 – OPERATIONS PLAN
SECTION 1.0 – GENERAL FACILITY OPERATIONS
1.1 OVERVIEW
This Operations Plan was prepared for the Viewmont Road LCID (Phases 1 and 2). The
information contained herein was prepared to provide landfill personnel with a clear
understanding of how the Design Engineer intended the facility to be operated. While deviations
from the operation plan outlined here may be acceptable, significant changes should be reviewed
and approved by the Design Engineer and the Solid Waste Section. Certain sections of this Plan
that pertain to waste acceptance criteria are also relevant to the LCID Processing Facility, i.e.,
the “stockpile,” located outside the LCID disposal area. A dedicated section of this work (see
Part 4) pertains specifically to the LCID stockpile.
1.2 CONTACT INFORMATION
For fire, medical, or police emergencies dial 911.
All correspondence and questions concerning the operation of the Viewmont Road LCID shall
be directed to the appropriate Staff and/or State personnel listed below.

1.3 ACCESS CONTROL
Limiting access to the Viewmont LCID Landfill is important for the following reasons:
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 10, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 18
Prevention of unauthorized and illegal dumping of waste materials,
Trespassing, and possible injury resulting therefrom, is discouraged,
The risk of equipment theft or vandalism is greatly reduced.
Access to active areas of the landfill will be controlled by a combination offences and natural
barriers, such as the creeks, and strictly enforced operating hours. A landfill attendant will be on
duty at all times when the facility is open for public use to enforce access restrictions.
1.3.1 Physical Restraints – The site is accessible only by the main entrance along Viewmont
Road. A gate house with an attendant is located near the main entrance. Other potential access
points are blocked by gates or barricades, and the rest of the site is isolated from the public by
dense vegetation and/or steep topography.
1.3.2 Security – The entrance gates will be securely locked during non-operating hours.
Frequent inspections of gates and fences will be performed by landfill personnel. Evidence of
trespassing, vandalism, or illegal operation will be reported to the Owner, who will take
appropriate steps to minimize such access.
1.3.3 All-Weather Access – The main entrance road and interior roads shall be maintained to
allow access during inclement weather for emergency purposes (such as fighting a fire).
1.4 SIGNAGE
A prominent sign containing the information required by DWM will be placed just inside the
main gate. This sign will provide the name of the facility, the permit number, operating hours,
acceptable and prohibited wastes, and emergency contact information. Additional signage will
be provided within the landfill complex to distinctly distinguish the roadway to the LCID landfill
active disposal area. Service and maintenance roads will be clearly marked and barriers (e.g.,
traffic cones, barrels, etc.) will be provided as required.
1.5 COMMUNICATIONS
Radio communications, i.e., push-to-talk cell phones, or other electronic voice communication
will be maintained between the operational staff and the gate house. Telephones are located at
the gate house in case of emergency and for the conduct of day-to-day business. Emergency
telephone numbers are displayed in the gate house. The primary emergency number is “911.”
1.6 FIRE AND SAFETY
1.6.1 Fire Control – The possibility of fire within the landfill or a piece of equipment must be
anticipated in the daily operation of the landfill. A combination of factory installed fire
suppression systems and/or portable fire extinguishers shall be operational on all heavy pieces of
equipment at all times. For larger or more serious outbreaks, the local fire department will
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 10, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 19
contacted by calling “911”.
Fires within the landfill will be limited by the use of periodic cover soil and control of "hot"
loads entering the landfill. Landfill personnel at the scale house will turn away all trucks
containing waste that is suspected to be hot. The truck carrying the hot load will be directed to
unload in a runoff-controlled area and the truck and driver will be removed to minimize the
likelihood of personal injury or equipment damage. If a hot load is inadvertently placed on the
working face, then the load will be spread as thin as possible and cover soil will be immediately
placed on the waste to extinguish the fire. Refer to the Contingency Plan (Section 4.0).
If the waste catches fire, efforts will be made to extinguish the fire by smothering it with dirt.
Stockpiles of dirt should be kept on hand during the operational phases in order to combat a fire.
It should be realized that water used to fight a fire will become a water quality issue. Water is
the least desirable means of fighting a large landfill fire, but placing water on a small fire is
acceptable. All fires should be reported to the Solid Waste Inspector or Area Specialist.
1.6.2 Safety – All aspects of the landfill operation were developed with the health and safety of
the operating staff, customers, and neighbors in mind. Prior to commencement of operations in
the LCID landfill, a member of the operating staff will be designated as Site Safety Officer
(SSO) and shall undergo a landfill operator’s training course.
The SSO, together with the facility's management, will administer a site safety and emergency
response program to be consistent with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
guidance. Safety equipment to be provided includes equipment rollover protective cabs, seat
belts, audible reverse warning devices, hard hats, safety shoes, and first aid kits. Landfill
personnel will be encouraged to complete the American Red Cross Basic First Aid Course.
1.7 EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
The facility will maintain on-site equipment as required to perform the necessary landfill
activities. Periodic maintenance of equipment and minor and major repair work will be
performed at designated maintenance zones outside of the landfill. Faulty equipment that
constitutes a safety issue or jeopardizes the ability to operate the facility in compliance with
applicable rules shall be repaired or replaced.
1.8 UTILITIES
Electrical power, water, telephone, and portable toilets will be provided at the gate house.
1.9 FIRE PREVENTION
Fires within LCID landfills and wood waste stockpiles are a concern to the Solid Waste Section,
not only as health and safety issues for customers, staff and the neighbors, but long-term air and
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 10, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 20
water quality issues arise, plus the effort required to fight a major facility fire is costly and
disruptive to operations. The Operator shall be vigilant about preventing fires and keeping
access available to fight fires. Material stockpiles shall be separated by a minimum clear
distance of 25 feet on all sides to allow equipment access. Stockpiles shall be turned once per
quarter to prevent composting and the associated heat build up. Within the landfill, periodic soil
cover requirements shall be observed. An ample supply of soil shall be kept on-hand, observing
proper measures for erosion control, and access to undeveloped portions of the footprint
(additional soil resources) shall be kept free of unnecessary debris. Portable fire extinguishers
shall be kept in operating order. A daily “ride-through” shall be conducted to look for smoke –
steam does not necessarily mean a fire is present, but continual steaming should be monitored
and vents should be checked periodically for signs of charring or detectable heat.
1.10 RECORD KEEPING PROGRAM
The Landfill staff shall maintain the following records related to the LCID landfill in a
permanent operating record at the landfill:
A Waste inspection records;
B Daily intake records, including waste type and source;
C List of generators and haulers that have attempted to dispose of restricted wastes;
D Employee training procedures and records of training completed;
E All closure and post-closure information, where applicable, including:
1. Testing;
2. Certification; and
3. Completion records.
F Cost estimates for financial assurance documentation.
The operating record shall be kept up to date by the Owner or his designee. These records shall
be presented upon request to DWM for inspection. A copy of this Operations Manual shall be
kept at the gate house and be available all times. All staff should be familiar with this manual.

SECTION 2.0 – WASTE HANDLING OPERATIONS
2.1 OVERVIEW
This section describes the waste handling operations for the LCID landfill and the wood
processing facility (stockpile).
2.2 ACCEPTABLE WASTES
The LCID disposal facility shall only accept the following wastes:
Land Clearing and Inert Debris Waste (yard waste, stumps, trees, limbs, brush,
grass, concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soils and rock, untreated
and unpainted wood, etc.).
Other Wastes as Approved by the NC DEQ Solid Waste Section.
The Processing Facility (stockpile) facility shall only accept the following wastes:
Naturally occurring tree debris (stumps, trees, limbs, brush) – no yard waste.
Clean wood waste derived from construction only and pallets – no demolition
materials, no painted or treated wood, no engineered or laminated wood products.
The waste streams for the two facilities must not be co-mingled. Please note that insert debris
(brick, block, recycled asphalt, etc.) may be used as “beneficial fill” at the facility for making all-
weather road surfaces and as aggregate for storm water runoff measures, subject to particle-size
suitability (consult with the Project Engineer). Certain “special” wastes (yet to be defined) may
also be accepted at this facility with prior approval of the Solid Waste Section – an Operations
Plan revision may be warranted. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) shall be directed to an
appropriate facility, e.g., the Bishop Road Transfer Station, and never buried at this site.
2.3 PROHIBITED WASTES
No municipal solid waste (MSW), hazardous waste (as defined by 15A NCAC 13A .0106, which
can be viewed at the Division of Waste Management web site: www.wastenotnc.org), including
hazardous waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators), or liquid waste will be
accepted at this facility. No polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste will be accepted. No
asbestos containing materials (ASM) or naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) will
be accepted. The Owner will implement a waste screening program, described in Section 2.4, to
control these types of waste. Asbestos wastes will not be accepted by the facility. Animal
carcasses will not be accepted.
2.4 WASTE SCREENING PROGRAMS
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 10, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 22
In order to assure that prohibited wastes are not entering the facility, screening programs have
been implemented. The incoming wastes receive two inspections – at the entrance gate and at
the working face of the disposal area or the raw material stockpile at the T&P area. The
following sections are abbreviated from the original Operations Plan and have been
supplemented by Appendices 2 and 3.
2.4.1 Waste Receiving and Inspection – All vehicles must stop at the entrance gate. The
attendant shall question each driver about the nature and source of the incoming materials and
record the load. The attendant(s) may visually check the load if the vehicle or driver is
unfamiliar. Vehicles shall be selected for random screening at a minimum of three times per
quarter (i.e. three months). Procedures and forms to be used during the waste screening activities
are found in Appendix 2. Signs informing users of the acceptable and unacceptable types of
waste are posted at the entrance. Vehicles containing non-recyclable LCID wastes are directed
to the landfill. Vehicles carrying clean recyclable wood waste are directed to the Processing
Facility. Directional signs are used to guide traffic to the correct unloading area.
Each incoming load shall be unloaded at its designated area (either the disposal area or the raw
material stockpile, depending on the material type). The gate attendant shall alert the yard
operators via radio with information on the incoming load, e.g., material type, truck description.
The yard operator shall be present when each vehicle is unloaded to make sure the material is
acceptable, or he shall inspect the load soon after unloading (prior to the vehicle leaving the
premises). Each load shall be sifted to make sure nothing unacceptable is buried within the load.
If the load is deemed suitable for the designated unloading area, the vehicle shall be cleared to
exit with the gate attendant.
If unacceptable materials are found, the driver and/or owner of the vehicle shall be notified and
measures shall be taken to correct the problem – the driver may be detained in order to compel
him to remove the unacceptable materials. Ideally, unacceptable materials will be detected prior
to unloading, or they will be reloaded onto the delivery vehicle and sent away (with directions to
an appropriate facility). Any attempts to unload unacceptable materials at the facility, either in
the disposal area of the wood recycling area, shall be documented by the operator. Repeat
offenders may be banned form using the facility at the discretion of the Owner.
2.4.2 Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan – If hazardous materials are detected, the
Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan outlined in Appendix 3 shall be followed. Hazardous
materials might be identified by unusual appearances, colors, odors, fumes, or the materials may
be hot or burning. In the event that identifiable hazardous waste or waste of questionable
character is detected at either the landfill or the wood recycling facility, protection of personnel
shall take precedence. If the materials have not been unloaded, the delivery vehicle shall be
isolated and appropriate personnel called in. If the vehicle has been unloaded, the area shall be
cleared until appropriate haz-mat personnel arrive.
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 10, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 23
If a “hot load” enters the facility, the vehicle will be directed to an isolated and unloaded
immediately, then the vehicle and driver shall be moved to safety and the fire department shall
be called. In any event where a hazardous material is detected, the Solid Waste Section shall be
notified immediately (see Section 1.2.2), and hazardous material responders may need to be
contacted. The event shall be documented by landfill staff in the Operational Record. The driver
or owner of the vehicle may be held responsible for the cost of the haz-mat response and/or any
required clean up.
2.5 WASTE GRINDING
Grinding may occur either on landfill working face or the wood recycling area. Within the
landfill, wastes may be ground with a tub grinder to reduce airspace consumption and to lessen
the likelihood of a fire. The grinder shall be operated on a 2-foot thick soil pad with perimeter
soil berms that will soak up spills or leaking fluids, which shall be removed from the landfill if a
spill or leak occurs. The allowed grinder location shall be construed as anywhere in the landfill,
with the provision that the prescribed measures for spill control are observed. Extra care shall be
taken when fueling the grinder to avoid spills. The Operator shall exercise proper judgment in
enforcing the waste acceptance policy. CAUTION: grinding the waste does not remove or
disguise improper materials that may be encountered in the waste stream. Solid Waste Section
inspectors will be vigilant about examining the ground waste for evidence of unauthorized
wastes. The Operator shall be equally vigilant about avoiding the placement of unauthorized
waste in the landfill. A portable container for unauthorized wastes shall be kept near the grinder.
The grinder will not be kept on the landfill unless it is operating. The allowable waste streams
between the LCID disposal unit and the Processing Facility are different, thus the operation of
these areas shall be kept entirely separate.
2.6 WASTE DISPOSAL
2.6.1 Access – The location of access roads during waste placement will be determined by
operations personnel in order to reflect waste placement strategy.
2.6.2 General Procedures – Waste transportation vehicles will arrive at the working face at
random intervals. There may be a number of vehicles unloading waste at the same time, while
other vehicles are waiting. In order to maintain control over the unloading of waste, a certain
number of vehicles will be allowed on the working face at a time. The actual number will be
determined by the “spotter,” i.e., the operator on duty at the working face. This procedure will
be used in order to minimize the potential of unloading unacceptable waste and to control
disposal activity. Operations at the working face will be conducted in a manner which will
encourage the efficient movement of transportation vehicles to and from the working face, and to
expedite the unloading of waste.
The use of portable signs with directional arrows and portable traffic barricades along the access
route to the working face will facilitate the unloading of wastes at proper locations. The
approach to the working face will be maintained such that two or more vehicles may safely
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 10, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 24
unload side by side. A vehicle turn-around area large enough to enable vehicles to arrive and
turn around safely with reasonable speed will be provided adjacent to the unloading area. The
vehicles will back to a vacant area near the working face to unload.
Waste unloading at the landfill will be controlled by the Operator to prevent unauthorized
materials and potentially unsafe conditions. Such control will also be used to confine the
working face to a minimum width, yet allow safe and efficient operations. The width and length
of the working face will be maintained as small as practical in order to maintain the appearance
of the site, control windblown waste, and minimize the amount of cover required each day.
Upon completion of the unloading operation, the transportation vehicles will immediately leave
the working face area. Personnel will direct traffic as needed to expedite safety.
Normally, only one working face will be active on any given day, with all deposited waste in
other areas covered by either periodic or final cover, as appropriate. The procedures for
placement and compaction of solid waste include: unloading of vehicles, spreading of waste into
2 foot lifts, and compaction on relatively flat slopes (i.e., 5H:1V max.) using a minimum number
of three full passes. A maximum slope ratio of 3H:1V shall be observed at all times.
2.6.3 Periodic Cover – At the completion of waste placement on a monthly basis or sooner if
the working face exceeds one acre in size, a 6 inch layer of earthen material will be placed over
the exposed waste. This periodic cover is intended to control vectors, fire, odors, and blowing
debris. Alternative periodic covers are allowable with the prior approval of the SWS.
2.6.4 Surface Water Diversion – Storm runoff from uphill areas shall be diverted away from
the working face and any areas where waste fill has occurred, via the use of ditches and/or soil
berms. Such measures may be temporary or permanent in nature, whereas water shall not be
allowed to run against or impound upon the waste.
2.6.5 Standing Water Prohibition – No waste shall be placed in open water bodies.
Adequate drainage shall be maintained to promote positive drainage away from waste deposition
areas. If waster is impounded, it shall be removed prior to placing waste material.
2.6.6 Open Burning Prohibition – No open burning of solid waste shall be allowed.
2.7 HEIGHT MONITORING
The landfill staff will monitor landfill top and side slope elevations on a weekly basis. This shall
be accomplished by use of a surveyor’s level and a grade rod. When such elevations approach
the grades shown on the Final Cover Grading Plan, the final top-of-waste grades will be staked
by a licensed surveyor to limit over-placement of waste. An annual survey of the landfill shall
be performed to confirm that lines and grades are within the specified requirements and to
facilitate a volumetric analysis of the airspace.

SECTION 3.0 – ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
3.1 OVERVIEW
This section reviews the overall environmental management tasks required for the successful
operation of the LCID landfill and the LCID Processing Facility.
3.2 SEDIMENTATION AND EROSION CONTROL
A sedimentation and erosion control plan was provided with the original Permit Application for
this facility. That submittal was reviewed and approved by the NC DEQ Land Quality Section
and remains in force. The plan describes the engineered features and practices for preventing
erosion and controlling sedimentation at this site. The erosion and sediment control system
consists of the following components:
1. Diversion Berms/Benches
2. Ditches
3. Down channels
4. Sediment Basin.
The landfill side slopes are designed with 3H:1V slopes and diversion berms or benches placed
at slope breaks. These features are designed to keep water volumes and velocities low enough to
minimize erosion of the landfill cover. Maintenance of the cover system will involve periodic
mowing and repair of any erosion problems and bare spots. These features will be inspected at
least once a month and after any significant rainfall events.
The down channels are designed to carry concentrated flows of surface water from the landfill
surface. The down channels will be inspected at least once a month and after any significant
rainfall event. Additional erosion control measures have been taken within the drainage channels
and at points of storm water discharge. All final cover areas should be inspected regularly for
erosion damage and promptly repaired.
Storm water run-off from the LCID landfill and the LCID Processing Facility is conveyed to the
existing sedimentation basin(s) located outside the respective facility footprints. The basin(s)
should be inspected regularly for sediment build-up or erosion damage. The basin(s) should be
cleaned out by excavating when sediments fill the lower half of the basin.
3.3 LANDFILL GAS CONTROL
Due to the nature of the waste disposed in this landfill, landfill gas control is not anticipated to be
of concern. No methane monitoring is currently prescribed for this facility. However, pending
Solid Waste Rule changes might require that a methane monitoring plan be incorporated into this
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 10, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 26
Operations Plan.
3.4 VECTOR CONTROL
Due to the nature of the waste disposed in this landfill, vector control will not be of concern.
Note that the use of periodic cover will discourage animals from nesting in the waste.
3.5 ODOR CONTROL
Due to the nature of the waste disposed in this landfill, odor control will not be of concern.
3.6 DUST CONTROL
Dust related to waste hauler traffic on the access roads will be minimized by using a water truck
to limit dust on the gravel portion of the road. Dust generated by excavation of cover soil will be
limited by watering the cut soil areas as needed. Staff should avoid breathing in dust generated
by the operations.
3.7 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Water that has come into contact with solid wastes is defined as “leachate”. For LCID wastes,
the runoff is managed as storm water through conventional Sedimentation and Erosion Control
(S&EC) measures or, in cases where discharges to nutrient sensitive surface waters may be
detrimental to water quality, additional measures may be required to meet applicable water
quality standards. At present, runoff from the LCID Processing Facility (Stockpile) is managed
via the permitted storm water removal system for the entire mine, the discharge of which is
monitored under the auspices of the NPDES General Permit. The LCID disposal unit has not
been built and, thus, no additional measures or monitoring is anticipated to be required at this
time. If future requirements so warrant, storm water control measures designed to Division of
Water Quality requirements will be specified, and a future update of this Plan shall be issued.
3.8 GROUND WATER MONITORING
At present, ground water monitoring is not required at LCID facilities. As such, no ground water
wells or monitoring has been anticipated or included in this application. Should future
regulations so warrant, a ground water monitoring plan will be prepared in accordance with
Division of Waste Management requirements, and the facility shall submit a future revision of
this Operations Plan.
SECTION 4.0 – CONTINGENCY PLAN
4.1 SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 10, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 27
Unusual weather conditions can directly affect the operation of the facility. Some of these
weather conditions and recommended operational responses are as follows.
4.1.1 Ice Storms – An ice storm can hinder access and prevent safe movement of equipment
and, thus, may require closure of the landfill until the ice is removed or has melted.
4.1.2 Heavy Rains – Exposed soil surfaces can create a muddy situation in some portions of
the facility during rainy periods. Proper drainage control and use of crushed stone on unpaved
roads should provide all-weather access and protect drainage away from critical areas. In areas
where the aggregate surface is washed away or otherwise damaged, aggregate should be
replaced. Intense rains can affect newly constructed drainage structures such as swales,
diversions, cover soils, and vegetation. After such a rain event, inspection by staff will be
initiated and corrective measures taken to repair any damage found before the next rainfall.
4.1.3 Electrical Storms – The open areas of the facility are susceptible to the hazards of an
electrical storm. If necessary, facility activities will be temporarily suspended during such an
event, and refuge should be taken within buildings or in rubber-tire vehicles. Personnel should
avoid metal objects, open spaces, and water bodies during such events.
4.1.4 Windy Conditions – Blowing debris can constitute safety hazards and/or environmental
concerns. Normally, this authorized waste stream should not be susceptible to light wind, but
high winds could blow smaller debris. Daily operations should minimize exposure to prevailing
winds – operations should be sheltered by locating activities on the lee-side of slopes and other
natural wind barriers. The work area may need to be shifted to a more sheltered area.
4.1.5 Violent Storms – In the event of a hurricane, tornado, or severe winter storm warning
issued by the National Weather Service, facility operations should be temporarily suspended
until the warning is lifted. If there is adequate time, soil cover should be placed on exposed
waste (in the landfill). If there is eminent danger to staff, personal safety shall take precedence
over concerns regarding the waste or equipment.
4.2 FIRE IN THE FACILITY
The waste may compost under normal circumstances and attain sufficient temperatures to
combust. Early signs of fires in stockpiles or the LCID may be smoke or charring observed at
“vents” (cracks in the surface). It is normal to see steam rising from the waste, especially on
cold mornings – this does not necessarily indicate a fire, but areas of frequent steaming should be
watched closely. In the event of an actual fire, steps should be taken to safeguard site workers
and the general public, notifying the fire department and the Solid Waste Section specialist.
4.2.1 Minor Fires – The possibility of a brush fire or a piece of equipment must be anticipated.
A combination of factory installed fire suppression systems and/or portable fire extinguishers
shall be operational on all heavy pieces of equipment at all times. Spreading dirt or using water
Viewmont Road LCID Permit Renewal
October 10, 2016 Amec Foster Wheeler Project No. 6864166100
Page 28
on a small surface fire is effective. For larger or more serious outbreaks, call the local fire
department.
4.2.2 Hot Loads – The gate attendant shall prevent vehicles containing waste that is suspected
to be hot, e.g., smoldering or smoking. If a "hot" load is detected at the entrance gate, the driver
shall be directed to an isolated location away from the public (but accessible to fire fighting
equipment), and the driver shall dump the load on the ground and move the truck to a safe
location – emphasis shall be placed on the driver and staff’s safety first, and the then the truck if
safe enough to do so. If a hot load is placed on the working face, then the load will be spread as
thin as possible and cover soil will be immediately placed on the waste to extinguish the fire.
4.2.3 Major Fires – If the waste catches fire, efforts will be made to extinguish the fire by
smothering it with dirt. Stockpiles of dirt should be kept on hand during the operational phases
in order to combat a fire. Water is the least desirable means of fighting a large landfill fire, but
placing water on a small fire is acceptable. The application of water has not proven to be an
effective means of extinguishing deep fires in LCID landfills. It should be realized that water
used to fight a fire will become a water quality issue. The most effective means of combating a
fire in the waste is to carefully excavate the fire and smother it with dirt. All fires should be
reported to the Solid Waste Inspector or Area Specialist (see Appendix 6).

PART 4 – LCID PROCESSING FACILITY
The following is the original letter and notification form pertaining to the LCID stockpile, now
referred to as a Processing Facility. The Processing Facility is separate from the LCID Disposal
Unit and has a separate waste stream that includes clean wood from construction sites and pallets
(no demolition wastes is allowed). The original operational requirements mandated the LCID
stockpile to be no larger than 6,000 cubic yards at any time, with the footprint occupying no
more than 2 acres, and the materials be processed (ground) and removed at least every quarter.
The LCID Stockpile was never part of Permit #41-R but it is subject to many of the same waste
acceptance and operational criteria. Viewmont Sandrock desires the latitude to continue using
the LCID Stockpile until such time as regional economics and other factors deem it appropriate
to build the LCID Disposal Unit. At such future time, a revision of this plan may be warranted.
For now, the LCID Stockpile or Processing Facility layout and operation will remain unchanged.

WASTE SCREENING AND INSPECTION PROGRAM
VIEWMONT SANDROCK LCID LANDFILL
AND PROCESSING FACILITY
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This prohibited waste exclusion program is designed to prevent prohibited wastes from entering
the facility and designated landfill. Prohibited wastes include regulated hazardous wastes,
regulated PCB wastes, and other wastes prohibited by state or local regulations or permit
conditions. The Facility is NOT permitted to accept asbestos wastes.
For the purposes of this section, regulated hazardous waste means a solid waste that is a
hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261. 3, that is not excluded from regulation as a hazardous
waste under 40 CFR 261.4 (b) or was not generated by a conditionally exempt generator.
Personnel shall be trained in recognition of hazardous and otherwise prohibited wastes, and
procedures for accepting or rejecting wastes shall be implemented.
2.0 PROHIBITED WASTES
This facility is allowed to receive wastes classified as Land Clearing Inert Debris.
The facility shall not accept the following:
- Construction and demolition debris – except clean wood waste*
- Municipal/commercial solid wastes and household waste
- Regulated hazardous wastes
- Special wastes – except as permitted by the Solid Waste Section
- PCB wastes
- Other prohibited wastes
*For recycling into boiler fuel only – not disposal
2.1 REGULATED HAZARDOUS WASTE
Regulated hazardous waste must be disposed of or treated at a permitted hazardous waste
disposal/treatment facility. Any material contaminated by a hazardous waste is also deemed
to be a hazardous waste. RCRA permits are required to store, transport, and treat hazardous
waste. The USEPA has given exemptions from storage, transport, and disposal requirements to
certain generators based on source and quantities. All hazardous waste generated by households
during their normal course of activities is exempt from regulation. Regulated generators must
notify the EPA that they generate hazardous waste and receive an identification number from
EPA or an authorized state agency.
Viewmont Sandrock LCID and Processing Facility December 1, 2009
Waste Screening and Inspection Program Page 2
2.2 PCB WASTES
No PCB wastes shall be accepted at the facility.
2.3 EXAMPLES OF OTHER PROHIBITED WASTES
WASTE BASIS OF PROHIBITION
Radioactive Wastes Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations
Bulk Liquids RCRA Subtitle D (40 CFR 258.28)
Medical Wastes (infectious) State Solid Waste Regulations
Whole Tires State Solid Waste Regulations
3.0 LOAD INSPECTION PROGRAM
The purpose of the load inspection program is to detect prohibited wastes and discourage
attempts to handle them at the facility.
3.1 INITIAL PROCEDURES ON THE TIPPING AREA
The initial step in the inspection program is to review incoming loads in the tipping area. The
operator will observe incoming loads for any indication of the presence of prohibited wastes.
Should the operator encounter suspicious-looking loads, they will summon appropriate personnel
for further evaluation of the load. If prohibited wastes are identified during inspection of a load,
the prohibited load will be reloaded, rejected and sent back to the generator.
3.2 WASTE SCREENING SCHEDULE AND DOCUMENTATION
A waste screening form follows this text (Appendix 2A); this, or a similar form, shall be used
for random load inspections and for documentation of rejected waste loads. The inspections are
to be conducted on a random basis, at a minimum of twice per week, including (but not limited
to) any suspicious load (e.g., that which might contain prohibited or unauthorized wastes).
3.3 LOAD INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The major elements of load inspections are:
• spread, break up, and visually examine wastes
• flag suspicious wastes
• maintain proper records
The origin of all loads is identified prior to proceeding onto the scales and tipping floor. All load
inspections are performed at the tipping floor. The Facility Manager will train facility operations
employees in waste identification procedures.
Viewmont Sandrock LCID and Processing Facility December 1, 2009
Waste Screening and Inspection Program Page 3
4.0 PROHIBITED OR UNAUTHORIZED WASTES
4.1 IDENTIFYING PROHIBITED WASTES
• Questioning the driver about the source of the load and the nature of generators.
• Examining product labels, especially warning labels.
• Rejecting bulk liquids in containers and sludges.
• Separating powders, granular material or materials with unusual colors for evaluation and
possible rejection.
• Inspecting containers to ensure that they are empty or do not contain prohibited wastes.
• Inspecting for “hot loads” (smoldering or burning materials) emitting fumes or vapors.
• Evaluating the load for odors that are not characteristic of C&D waste.
• Inspectors should never inhale vapors from suspicious materials or containers
because this may lead to injury or death.
• Searching for special items that have a high probability of containing prohibited waste:
- transformers
- batteries
- filters
- compressors (freon)
- mechanical equipment (capacitors)
- red bags (medical waste)
- bags that may contain asbestos (without prior notification to the operator)
- obvious prohibited wastes such as tires, etc.
4.2 MANAGING PROHIBITED WASTES
The results of the load inspection will identify wastes as:
• Acceptable
• Prohibited
Acceptable waste can be moved from the tipping area to the LCID disposal area or the wood
waste raw material stockpile, depending on the material type. Keep in mind that the LCID
materials and clean wood wastes for recycling shall always be kept separate. The inspection area
should be cleaned to the extent that materials from this inspection do not impact the next load to
be inspected.
Viewmont Sandrock LCID and Processing Facility December 1, 2009
Waste Screening and Inspection Program Page 4
Prohibited wastes detected during the inspection shall be prevented from being unloaded (if
possible) and/or reloaded onto the delivery vehicle (if safe to do so) – in such cases the driver
shall be advised of the hazardous waste contingency plan (see below). A contingency plan for
removal/clean-up of hazardous, liquid or other unacceptable waste follows.
Refer to the HAZARDOUS WASTE CONTINGENCY PLAN (Appendix 3).
5.0 TRAINING
The management staff, equipment operators, and scale house staff will be trained in the contents
of this plan. Training will address the following topics:
• Inspection of tipping area and load inspection procedures.
• Identification of hazardous wastes, PCB wastes and other prohibited wastes.
• Waste handling procedures (acceptable and prohibited wastes).
• Health and safety.
• Record keeping.
6.0 RECORD KEEPING
Records of all incoming waste should be kept by the facility – at a minimum, the date, tonnage,
material type and hauler should be recorded.
Random waste screening forms and hazardous waste records, if any, shall be kept in a file at the
facility office – i.e., the Operating Record – and these records shall be available for inspection at
any time by Solid Waste Section compliance inspectors.
If prohibited wastes are detected requiring notification of haulers and/or regulatory agencies,
records of time of notification, the agency and individuals contacted with phone numbers, and
the information that was reported.
Records documenting the successful completion of training will be maintained on-site.

Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan Page 1
HAZARDOUS WASTE CONTINGENCY PLAN
VIEWMONT SANDROCK LCID LANDFILL
AND PROCESSING FACILITY
1.0 HOT LOADS CONTINGENCY PLAN
In the event of a "hot" load attempting to enter the facility, the scale house staff will turn away
all trucks containing waste that is suspected to be hot, unless there is imminent danger to the
driver, in which case the situation will be treated as a fire – the vehicle will be isolated away from
structures and other traffic and the fire department will be called. The vehicle driver will be
instructed unload – if safe to do so – and to move the vehicle to a safe location. Other traffic will
be redirected to another portion of the tipping area (away from the fire), or other waste deliveries
may be suspended until the fire is out. Facility staff may assist the fire department (at the scene
manager’s direction) by smothering the fire with dirt from an on-site stockpile. If the fire cannot
be controlled, the fire department will be notified and the area cleared of non-essential personnel.
Once the fire is out the waste shall be inspected in accordance to the Waste Screening Plan
(Appendix 2) and, if the material is deemed acceptable under the waste acceptance criteria, it
will be loaded into transport vehicles. If the material is not acceptable, it will be loaded back
onto the delivery vehicle and sent to an appropriate landfill.
2.0 HAZARDOUS WASTE EMERGENCIES CONTINGENCY PLAN
In the event that an obvious hazardous waste is detected at the scales or on the tipping pad,
appropriate steps shall be implemented to safeguard the staff and public. Hazardous waste
identification may be based on (but not limited to) the detection of strong odors, fumes or vapors,
unusual colors or appearance (e.g., liquids), smoke, flame, or excess dust. All waste receipts
shall be suspended and non-essential personnel cleared from the facility. The fire department
will be called immediately in the event a hazardous material is detected. The waste will not be
allowed to unload if hazardous waste is detected in advance of unloading.
If unloaded waste is deemed to be hazardous, an attempt will be made to isolate the wastes in a
designated area where runoff is controlled, and/or personnel will be cleared from the vicinity of
the waste. Staff will act prudently to protect personnel, but no attempt will be made to remove
the material until trained emergency personnel (fire department or haz-mat team) arrive. A
partial listing of regional Hazardous Waste Responders and disposal firms is found in
Appendix 4. These firms have the training and equipment to deal with hazardous materials, as
needed. The Division of Waste Management’s list of “Useful Agencies and Contacts” is also
presented in Appendix 4.
The Operator will notify the Division of Waste Management regional specialist that an attempt
was made to dispose of hazardous waste at the facility. If the vehicle attempting disposal of such
waste is known, attempts will be made to prevent that vehicle from leaving the site until it is
identified (license tag, truck number driver and/or company information) or, if the vehicle leaves
the site, immediate notice will be served on the owner of the vehicle that hazardous waste, for
which they have responsibility, has been disposed of at the facility. The cost of the removal and
Viewmont Sandrock LCID and Processing Facility December 1, 2009
Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan Page 2
disposing of the hazardous waste may be charged to the owner of the vehicle involved. Any
vehicle owner or operator who knowingly dumps hazardous waste in the landfill may be barred
from using the facility and/or reported to law enforcement authorities.
3.0 NON-EMERGENCY HAZARDOUS WASTE CONTINGENCY PLAN
Some wastes that are considered as hazardous or otherwise prohibited from the facility – even
those that do not constitute an emergency – may require special handling by licensed contractors.
Such materials shall be prohibited from being unloaded, if possible, and the driver of the delivery
vehicle made aware of options for legal disposal (addressed below). Some hazardous materials
may be inadvertently unloaded at the facility and require the services of licensed contractors,
who will be sought to dispose of the prohibited materials.
Appendix 4, found immediately following this section, provide a list of specialty waste haulers
(licensed contractors) and/or disposal sites, furnished on the NC DENR Division of Waste
Management web site. These firms may be contacted to dispose of hazardous materials in non-
emergency situations. If the materials are not unloaded from the delivery vehicle, the driver will
be furnished with the list of Hazardous Waste Responders or “Useful Contacts”, and the owner of
the vehicle will be responsible for appropriately disposing of the materials – this might involve
isolating the vehicle on the premises until a licensed contractor can arrive, in which case steps
shall be taken to prevent access by non-authorized personnel.
Should such materials be detected at the facility after unloading, the materials will be located to a
holding area away from personnel and away from drainage ways, isolated to prevent contact with
water or runoff (e.g., covering with tarps, surrounding the materials with absorbent booms or soil
berms, as appropriate), and the appropriate licensed contractor contacted immediately. In either
case (still loaded or unloaded), arrangements shall be made for the isolated materials to be
removed as soon as possible.
4.0 RECORD KEEPING
State or EPA notification is required whenever a hazardous or PCB waste is detected. Records of
these notifications will be kept and will include the date and time of notification, agency and
individual contacted with phone numbers, and the information that was reported.
Any hazardous waste found at the facility that requires mitigation under this plan shall be
documented by staff using the Waste Screening Form provided in Appendix 2A. Records of
information gathered as part of the waste screening programs will be maintained throughout the
operational life of the facility.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Operator of this facility is encouraged to keep a current list of
Hazardous Waste Responders handy, as the firms and/or contact numbers may change over time.
Appendix 4
Emergency Responders and Useful Contacts
HAZARDOUS WASTE CONTACTS
The following contacts were originally found on NC DENR Division of Waste Management’s web
site in early 2007; since then, local phone numbers have been updated based on internet research.
Facility management should verify the availability of these contacts before an emergency. The
reference listing of these organizations here is not an endorsement by either the Division or the
preparer of this document, nor are any affiliations in existence or implied. For more information

Guilford County Solid Waste Services Guide (Excerpt)
www.co.guilford.nc.us 7
GUILFORDGUILFORD COUNTY
With environmental concerns rising on everyone’s list of priorities, it’s good to know what
environmentally friendly options residents have available to them for disposing of trash and
unwanted possessions. Here are some pointers, along with a list of resources, that you may want
to save for future reference. These services are available to all county residents.
Household Garbage and Trash
For disposal of regular household trash, residents have the option of hiring a private hauler to collect their trash and recycling or of taking it to a public facility themselves. When hiring a hauler, please keep in mind that the County requires private companies to obtain a County license to collect residential garbage and recycling. The licensing process helps to ensure that collection
vehicles are maintained in good working order, so that they do not leak and cause contamination. In addition, companies operating under the County licensing program must adhere to these minimum service requirements and maximum collection fees: $16.00 per month for once per week garbage collection and twice per month recyclables collection at the curb/roadside.
In addition, licensed haulers may opt to provide “back-door” service for disabled or elderly customers who are unable to get their trash out to the curb, or twice per week garbage collection
service for those with greater disposal needs, based on County licensing requirements and pricing guidelines for these specific services. Also, each company has its own rules for recycling, including the materials accepted and the guidelines for preparing those materials for collection. So contact your hauler directly for recycling information specific to your program.
For more information as well as a current listing of licensed garbage collectors, visit the
Guilford County web site at www.co.guilford.nc.us or call Guilford County Environmental Services at (336) 641-3792.
There are two options for transporting garbage directly to a disposal facility in Guilford County. For hours of operation, load requirements and costs, please contact these facilities directly:

Recycling All licensed garbage collectors in Guilford County are required to provide recycling collection as part of their service. Each company has their own list of acceptable materials, but each collects
aluminum and metal food and beverage cans, plastic bottles labeled with #1 PETE or #2 HDPE, and newspaper. Some services also collect cardboard, magazines, office paper and chipboard. Check with your collector about your specific program.
GUILFORD
If you don’t subscribe to a curbside collection service, there is one public recycling center in
Guilford County. This material recovery facility (MRF) will accept many household recyclable materials and will even buy high quality recyclables. For more information, call the MRF directly.
City of High Point Material Recovery Facility 5875 Riverdale Road, Jamestown (336) 883-3621
In the City of Greensboro, there are several unmanned recycling drop-off sites that are accessible 24 hours a day. Check the web site at www.greensboro-nc.gov/Departments/fieldops or call the
Contact Center at (336) 373-CITY (2489) for locations and materials accepted.
Appliances/White Goods and Tires
Guilford County Scrap Tire and White Goods Collection Facility 2138 Bishop Road (located just south of the Wet ‘n Wild Water Park,
between Holden and Groometown Roads) (336) 294-9431
Large household appliances, or “white goods,” are prohibited from being disposed of in landfills and must be recycled. White goods include stoves, freezers, refrigerators, washers, dryers,
dishwashers, water heaters and air conditioners. Many licensed garbage collectors provide curbside pick-up for a fee. However, you may bring your household appliances directly to the County facility for recycling. There is no charge, and we’ll unload your vehicle for you. In addition, a drop-off site for appliances has been opened at the Northeast Fire Station, located at 7806
Jackson School Road, Brown Summit, NC. Call the fire station directly at (336) 656-7292.
Scrap tires are a large environmental problem in North Carolina. They are prohibited from disposal in landfills, and are very costly to recycle. The state has enacted a point-of-purchase disposal
fee on tires, so when you purchase new tires be sure to take advantage of the fee and have your retailer dispose of your old tires for you. If you do have tires you need to get rid of, please be aware that there are restrictions. Call the facility at (336) 294-9431 for more information.
Christmas Tree Recycling Put your Christmas tree to good use after the holidays by taking advantage of the County’s
recycling program that turns live Christmas trees into much-needed mulch and compost for County parks. Simply remove all lights, decorations, stands and covers, then drop your tree(s) off at one of the three locations between December 26th and January 15th. Wreaths, garland and artificial trees are not accepted.

Yard Waste
Grass clippings, hedge trimmings, tree limbs and leaves are all considered yard waste. Most yard waste can be composted and reused in gardens and flower beds to provide nutrients and mulch for plants. For information about composting, please contact the Guilford County Cooperative Extension at (336) 375-5876. If composting isn’t an option for you, many of the County’s licensed
haulers provide curbside collection service for yard waste for an additional fee. Contact your hauler directly for more information.
There are two composting facilities available to Guilford County residents. Both of these composting centers often have compost and mulch available for residents. Please contact the facilities directly for information about availability, pricing, materials accepted and hours of operation.

Land Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID)
LCID is limited to the following materials: concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soil, rock, gravel, untreated wood, limbs, leaves and stumps. LCID landfills do not accept materials that have been painted or coated with sealants or finishes. For LCID landfill facilities closest to you, check the County web site at www.co.guilford.nc.us, or contact the Environmental Inspector at (336) 641-2082 for more information.
Construction Debris
Unwanted materials that result from the construction or demolition of buildings and other structures are termed construction and demolition (C&D) waste. While these materials can be disposed of in the same manner as municipal solid waste, or regular household trash, it is less expensive and more environmentally friendly to dispose of them at a C&D facility where they
may be able to be recycled. There are currently three C&D facilities available to residents in Guilford County. Please contact each facility directly for hours of operation, costs and other pertinent information.

Comments
The subject LCID (Permit 41-R) was permitted as the reclamation for an active sandrock mine. The mine has not
commenced reclamation, thus the LCID is currently inactive and has not operated. There is a two-acre LCID treatment
and processing facility operated on the premises under a notification to the Solid Waste Section.
