Monday through Friday. The facility will be closed on weekends and most recognized County holidays. In the event of disaster or other emergency situations, the supervisor will request approval from the commission’s regional office to allow additional temporary operating hours during these events. 1.3 Site Access The site will be primarily accessed by the existing entrances on Old Watkins Road. Limiting access to the facility is important for the following reasons: • Unauthorized and illegal dumping of debris materials is prevented. • Trespassing, and injury resulting therefrom, is discouraged. • The risk of vandalism is greatly reduced. Access to active areas of the landfill will be controlled by a combination of fences, natural barriers and strictly enforced operating hours. An 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 will be primarily accessed by the existing entrance on Old Watkins Road. The primary entrance has a gate which will be securely locked during non- operating hours. A guard house is provided at the main entrance. All managers of CTD operation live at or adjacent to the landfill. All waste will be initially screened and weighed at the guard house prior to being placed in the facility. 1.3.2 Security The facility is secured by fencing, security gates and natural buffers. Frequent gate and fence inspections will be performed by landfill personnel. Evidence of trespassing, vandalism, or illegal operation will be reported to the owner to coordinate the repair or replacement of the damaged property and to ensure the integrity of the facilities security. 1.4 Signage A prominent sign(s) containing the information required by the DWM will be placed at the facility entrance. The sign(s) will provide information on operating hours, operating procedures, permit number and acceptable wastes. Additional signage will be provided as necessary within the landfill complex to distinctly distinguish the roadway to the active landfill unit(s). Service and maintenance roads for use by operations personnel will be clearly marked and barriers (e.g., traffic cones, barrels, etc.) will be provided as required. Site personnel will routinely inspect the conditions of the posted signage to DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual October 2016 1.0 General Facility Operations Page 8 ensure that they are clearly visible and intact. Damaged or missing signage will be replaced. 1.5 Communications The guard house has a telephone in case of an emergency and to conduct day-to-day business. Emergency telephone numbers are displayed in the guard house. 1.6 Fire Control The possibility of fire within the landfill or a piece of equipment must be anticipated in the daily facility operation. Potential fire hazards include both surface and subsurface conditions. Surface conditions include equipment operations and newly placed debris. Subsurface conditions include existing debris previously landfilled. Smoking is prohibited on the working face of the landfill. 1.6.1 Open Burning Open burning is not allowed at the facility in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0566(12). Controlled burning will occur only if permitted or approved by the DWM, the Division of Air Quality (DAQ), and the local fire department. 1.6.2 Fire Tetrahedron1 To better understand the properties of fire, the fundamental methods to extinguish it must be understood. The fire ‘‘tetrahedron’’ illustrates the rule that to ignite and burn, each component of the tetrahedron (fuel, oxygen, heat, and/or chemical chain reaction) represents a property of flaming fire. A fire is prevented or extinguished by ‘‘removing’’ any one of them. A fire naturally occurs when the elements are combined in the right mixture (e.g., more heat needed for igniting some fuels, unless there is concentrated oxygen). The fire tetrahedron is a more modern adaptation of the traditional fire ‘‘triangle’’ recognizing the chemical reactions that may occur as a component - ‘‘the uninhibited chain reaction’’. This chain reaction is the feedback of heat to the fuel to produce the gaseous fuel used in the flame. In other words, the chain reaction provides the heat necessary to maintain the fire. These principles are integral in the prevention and management of potential fire situations. Please note this information is considered as a basis of understanding which may be superseded by the direction and skill of the local Fire Marshal. 1 National Fire Protection Association (www.nfpa.org). DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual October 2016 1.0 General Facility Operations Page 9 1.6.3 Equipment A combination of factory installed fire suppression systems and/or portable fire extinguishers will be operational on all pieces of heavy equipment at all times. Potential fire hazards are created from the build-up of fine, dry dust particles on and around operational motors and control panels. The presence of these build- ups can cause overheating and potential fire if periodic equipment cleaning and maintenance are not practiced. Portable fire extinguishers should be maintained in a state of readiness on each piece of moving equipment and equipment should be cleaned periodically. Staff shall be periodically trained on the proper utilization of the fire extinguishers. The fire extinguishers are checked on a regular basis to ensure their utilization. The date of the units’ inspections is document on each tag. 1.6.4 General Fire Management Strategies Each fire situation is site/event specific; however, general strategies for active fire management include the following (in no particular order): • Accelerated high temperature combustion (displacing fuel); • Covering burning material with soil (reduce oxygen); • Covering burning material with foams (reduce oxygen); • Flooding burning material with water (reduce heat); • Injecting an inert gas such as CO2 (reduce oxygen); • Excavating the burning material (displacing fuel) and then extinguishing it in small controlled areas; and • Applying extinguishing agents that will interfere with and inhibit the combustion process at the molecular level (break the chemical reaction). 1.6.5 Surface Emissions The presence of surface emissions in the form of steam or smoke may occur from time to time. On-site personnel shall watch sensitive areas across the cover for signs of these types of emissions. 1.6.5.1 Steam Steam is pure water vapor, produced by evaporated water within the debris mass. Ordinarily, steam is completely colorless. As steam cools and condenses it becomes visible as water vapor and can produce a white cloud which dissipates relatively quickly. It is odorless and tasteless. Because the humidity is very high, the cloud may leave water droplets on solids that touch it. Observed steam emissions on site will continue to be monitored; changes will be reported to the site manager. DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual October 2016 1.0 General Facility Operations Page 10 1.6.5.2 Smoke Smoke consists of gases and soot. The gases typically include water vapor, but smoke differs from steam in that there are other gases, such carbon dioxide and sulfur oxides, plus there are small particles. The types of particles depend on the source of the smoke, but usually you can smell or taste either the soot or some of the gases from smoke. Smoke may be white, but more commonly it is colored by its particles and will linger across the cover as the particles in the smoke are suspended. Observed smoke will be covered with soil or other action to prevent fire creating conditions and continue to be monitored until smoke is no longer produced. The site manager will be notified when smoke is observed on site. 1.6.6 Fires Within Disposal Areas Fires within the landfill disposal areas will be limited by the use of periodic cover as a fire break and control of "hot" loads entering the landfill. Landfill personnel at the guard house will turn away all trucks containing debris that is suspected to be hot. 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 debris to extinguish the fire. In general, fires that break out close to the surface of the disposal area should be excavated and smothered with cover material. Deep fires should be smothered out by placing moist soil on the surface and by constructing soil barriers around the fire. Where the smothering technique fails, the burning material must be excavated and smothered or quenched with water once the burning material is brought to the surface. Water is usually not effective unless it can be directly applied to the burning material. 1.6.7 Notification A copy of the site Operations Manual shall be filed with the local fire department including all contact information for the facility. The owner will verbally notify the DWM (Section 1.1.2) within 24 hours of discovery of a fire within any landfill disposal area. In addition, written documentation describing the fire, the actions carried out to extinguish the fire, and a strategy for preventing future occurrences will be provided to the DWM within 15 days following any such occurrence using the DWM’s Fire Occurrence Notification Form (Appendix A). DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual October 2016 1.0 General Facility Operations Page 11 1.7 Severe Weather Conditions Inclement weather conditions can directly affect landfill facility operations. Some weather conditions and recommended operational responses are as follows. 1.7.1 Ice Storms An ice storm can make access to the facility and disposal locations dangerous, prevent movement or placement of daily cover, and, thus, may require closure of the facility until the ice is removed or has melted. The determination to discontinue activities due to inclement weather conditions will be made by the Site Manager. 1.7.2 Heavy Rains Rainy periods can create a muddy situation in areas of exposed soil. The control of drainage and use of crushed stone on unpaved roads should provide all- weather access for the site and promote drainage away from critical areas. In areas where the aggregate surface is washed away or otherwise damaged, new aggregate should be used for repair. Intense rains can affect newly constructed drainage structures such as swales, diversions, cover soils, and vegetation. After such a rain event, inspection by facility personnel will be initiated and corrective measures initiated to repair any damage found before the next rainfall. In extreme cases the landfill will be closed for employee and customer safety and to prevent excessive site damage. 1.7.3 Electrical Storms Employees working on heavy equipment and open areas of the landfill and recovery areas are susceptible to the hazards of an electrical storm. If necessary, disposal activities will be temporarily suspended during such an event. To guarantee the safety of all field personnel refuge will be sought, as necessary, in the on-site buildings or in rubber-tired vehicle. 1.7.4 Windy Conditions Landfill operations during a particularly windy period may require the working face be temporarily shifted to a more sheltered area. When this is done, the previously exposed face will be immediately covered with soil. 1.7.5 Violent Storms In the event of hurricane, tornado, or severe winter storm warning issued by the National Weather Service, landfill operations may be temporarily suspended until the warning is lifted. Cover will be placed on exposed debris and buildings and equipment will be properly secured.

Wastes in italics will be acceptable for processing only. • Land Clearing and Inert Debris Landfill: as defined in 15A NCAC 13B.0101(22) means a facility for the disposal of land-clearing waste, concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soil, gravel and rock, untreated and unpainted wood, and yard trash. • Land Clearing Waste: as defined in 15A NCAC 13B.0101(23) means solid waste which is generated solely from land-clearing activities, limited to stumps, trees, limbs, brush, grass, and other naturally occurring vegetative material. • Yard trash: as defined in G.S. 130A-290(a)(45) means solid waste consisting solely of vegetative matter resulting from landscaping maintenance • Wooden Pallets (damaged and undamaged): as defined in G.S. 130A-290(a)(44a) means a wooden object consisting of a flat or horizontal deck or platform supported by structural components that is used as a base for assembling, stacking, handling, and transporting goods (for processing only). • Other Wastes as Approved by the Solid Waste Section of the Division of Waste Management. Only materials listed above will be disposed. All other identified wastes will be removed and disposed in accordance with Section 2.5. 2.2 Prohibited Wastes No municipal solid waste (MSW), construction and demolition debris waste (C&D), hazardous waste (as defined by 15A NCAC13A including hazardous waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators), or liquid waste will be accepted at this facility. In addition, no polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste will be accepted. The facility follows a strict screening program, described in Section 2.5, to ensure no prohibited waste is accepted. 2.3 Facility Operation The facility operations have been proposed to facilitate both disposal and recovery to involve a flow through of material at the facility. Generally, the process includes materials from both customers and mining of the site. This section provides discussion on the major components of the process. Please refer to the below Chart 1 for a DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual October 2016 2.0 Waste Handling Operations Page 16 flowchart outlining the overall facility operations. Incoming materials shall follow Section 3.2 and 3.3 and recovered materials shall follow Section 3.1 presented below. 2.3.1 Operating Capacity The Operating Capacity for the CTD facility is estimated to be approximately 20,000 cy per year based on historical receipts. The facility has also anticipated up to 50 trucks per day in their Wake County special use permit. At this time and in consideration of the current construction industry, we have assumed the 25,000 cy per year estimate.

This waste acceptance rate yields approximately 5,000 tons per year. In addition to accepted waste, material will be excavated from the existing LCID landfill for processing (Section 3.1). 2.5 Waste Screening To assure that prohibited wastes are not entering the facility, screening programs have been implemented. If any non-acceptable wastes are identified, these wastes will be placed into a stockpile or container and removed from the site for disposal at a solid waste facility permitted to accept the particular waste. All records and receipts for this disposal shall be kept in the operating record for the site. It is anticipated that unacceptable wastes will be minor amounts and either generally classified as MSW or C&D. The operators will be trained on identifying non-conforming/non-acceptable wastes. The frequency for screening includes every load described as follows. 2.5.1 Receiving All vehicles must stop at the guard house located near the facility entrance and visitors are required to sign-in. All waste transportation vehicles are checked and have their load content assessed. The attendant(s) requests from the driver of the vehicle a description of the waste it is carrying to ensure that unacceptable waste is not allowed into the landfill. The attendant(s) then visually checks the vehicle. Signs informing users of the acceptable and unacceptable types of waste are posted at the guard house. Once passing the guard, the vehicles containing LCID wastes are routed to the landfill. Vehicles are selected for screening at random based on 1% by volume of incoming site acceptance or a minimum of once per month. Selected vehicles are directed to an area of intermediate cover adjacent to the working face where the vehicle will be unloaded. Waste is carefully spread using suitable equipment. An attendant trained to identify wastes that are unacceptable at the landfill inspects the waste discharged at the screening site. If unacceptable waste is found, including wastes generated from outside of the service area, the load will be isolated and secured by berming off the area. Unacceptable wastes that are non-hazardous will be removed from the facility. For unacceptable wastes that are hazardous, the Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan outlined in Section 2.5.2 will be followed. The hauler is responsible for removing unacceptable waste from the landfill property. If no unacceptable waste is found, the load will be pushed to the working face and incorporated into the daily waste cell. All random waste inspections will be documented by landfill staff using the waste screening form provided in Appendix B. DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual October 2016 2.0 Waste Handling Operations Page 18 In addition to random waste screening described above, waste unloaded on the active face will be inspected by the equipment operators, trained to spot unacceptable wastes, before and during spreading and compaction. Any suspicious looking waste is reported immediately to the designated primary inspector for further evaluation. 2.5.2 Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan In the event that identifiable hazardous waste or waste of questionable character is detected at the landfill, appropriate equipment, protective gear, personnel, and materials as necessary will be employed to isolate the wastes. The DWM will be notified immediately (Section 1.2.3) that an attempt was made to dispose of hazardous waste at the landfill. If the vehicle attempting disposal of such waste is known, all attempts will be made to prevent that vehicle from leaving the site or, if the vehicle has left 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 landfill. CTD will assist the DWM as necessary and appropriate in the removal and disposition of the hazardous waste and in the prosecution of responsible parties. If needed, the hazardous waste will be covered with either on-site soils or other tarping material until such time when an appropriate method can be implemented to properly handle the waste. The cost of the removal and disposing of the hazardous waste will 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 landfill. Should an incident where hazardous waste is found at the landfill occur, the event will be documented by landfill staff using the waste screening form provided in Appendix B. Records gathered as part of the waste screening programs will be maintained at the landfill site during its active life and as long as required by CTD and the DWM. 2.6 Disposal 2.6.1 Access Traffic will be clearly directed to the appropriate active access road. Access road location during waste placement will be determined by operations personnel to reflect the waste placement strategy. DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual October 2016 2.0 Waste Handling Operations Page 19 2.6.2 General Procedure 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. 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 truck spotter. This procedure will be used 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 waste unloading. The approach to the working face will be maintained such that two or more vehicles may safely 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. Following completion of the unloading operation, the transportation vehicles will immediately leave the working face area. Personnel will direct traffic necessary to expedite safe movement of vehicles. Waste unloading at the landfill will be controlled to prevent disposal in locations other than those specified by site management. 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 to maintain the appearance of the site, control windblown waste, and minimize the amount of cover required each day. Normally, only one working face will be active on any given day, with all deposited waste in other areas covered by either periodic, intermediate, or final cover, as appropriate. The procedures for placement and compaction of solid waste include: unloading of vehicles, spreading of waste into nominal ten (10) foot lifts, and compaction on relatively flat slopes (i.e. 5H:1V max.). The use of portable signs with directional arrows and portable traffic barricades will facilitate the unloading of wastes to the designated disposal locations. These signs and barricades will be placed along the access route to the working face of the landfill or other designated disposal areas which may be established. 2.7 Cover 2.7.1 Periodic Cover At the completion of waste placement each week, or sooner if the area of exposed waste exceeds ½ acre in size, a 6-inch layer of earthen material or other DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual October 2016 2.0 Waste Handling Operations Page 20 material as approved by the DWM will be placed over the exposed waste. This periodic cover is intended to control vectors, fire, odors, and blowing debris. 2.7.2 Intermediate Cover A 12 inch layer of soil cover should be placed on all waste surfaces that have not received waste in 30 days but are below final elevation. This intermediate cover should be seeded immediately and graded such that all precipitation run-off is channeled to the surface water systems. 2.8 Height Monitoring Approximately every month the facility staff will monitor landfill top and side slope elevations with a level. When such elevations approach design grades, the final top-of- waste grades will be staked to limit over-placement of waste. DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual October 2016 3.0 Recovery and Processing Operations Page 21 3.0 RECOVERY AND PROCESSING OPERATIONS 3.1 Recovery (Mining) Operations All material from the recovery (mining) of the site is assumed as to not exceed 50 cubic yards per day (~260 days per year) of wastes for processing. Thus, approximately 13,000 cubic yards per year (maximum) of wastes are anticipated for processing at the proposed facility. CTD will perform the recovery operations on a limited basis to supplement the processing and compost operations as described in Sections 3.2 and 3.3. 3.2 Wood Waste Processing Operations 3.2.1 Grinding/Chipping Grinding and/or chipping will be conducted centrally on the site within the future landfill footprint. The grinding/chipping operations will be conducted as needed to facilitate the landfill recovery and incoming waste operations by contract equipment. The facility intends to utilize a single grinder to process the collected material. The material will be directed to the grinders as per the material size. It is anticipated that grinding and chipping will be conducted on a periodic basis as materials are available. Grinders and chippers pose both maintenance and safety hazards. Therefore, please refer to the manufacturer’s safety and/or maintenance literature prior to operating equipment on site. 3.2.2 Screening Screening will be conducted just beyond the grinding area on the site. The facility intends to utilize a single screening machine to process the ground materials on a contract basis. Screening is conducted after the grinding/chipping has been completed to provide a uniform material for distribution to the public. The screening process removes remaining large materials for a uniform product. The material is screened to achieve particle sizes of 5/8" to 2". The material not passing the screen, ‘‘overs’’ (>2"), are stored in the material storage area and re-ground or chipped for additional screening. The finished product is stored on site in a loading area until ready for delivery. Three (3) finished products are anticipated as follows: • Mulch; • Amended Mulch and Soil; and • Compost The process is repeated for ‘‘overs’’ until a uniform blend is achieved. During the screening process additional non-conforming wastes may be identified. Once identified, these wastes will be removed and placed in the stockpiles or containers for disposal off-site. Screening machines pose both maintenance and DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual October 2016 3.0 Recovery and Processing Operations Page 22 safety hazards. Therefore, please refer to the manufacturer’s safety and or maintenance literature prior to operating equipment at the site. 3.3 Compost Operations and Management The compost operation has been proposed to allow enhanced stabilization of woody materials and to manage yard trash materials. The compost area is considered as a containment measure for these materials 3.3.1 Mixing & Windrow/Pile Formation The ground products will be either separated into mulch piles or placed in composting windrows or piles using a front end loader. The dimensions anticipated for the triangular compost piles will be eight (8) feet in height and have a maximum base diameter of 15 feet. 3.3.2 Active Composting The active compost process is achieved once the compost temperatures have gone from mesophylic temperatures (< 110 degrees Fahrenheit) to thermophylic temperatures (> 110 degrees Fahrenheit) until it has matured (gone back down to its original mesophylic state). During active composting, the windrows or piles will be turned periodically to keep them from going into an anaerobic (oxygen deprived) state. It is anticipated that the compost process will take approximately 24 weeks (six (6) months) from start to finish. While in the active composting phase, the facility will maintain the windrows/piles at or above 131 degrees Fahrenheit for at least (3) days and allow aeration to maintain elevated temperatures compliant with 15A NCAC 13B .1406. If for some reason a windrow reaches temperatures in excess of 160 degrees Fahrenheit the windrows will be turned and/or moisture added to reduce the temperature to a normal operating condition. 3.3.3 Storing The compost which has been determined to be matured finished product will be placed in the storage area. The existing storage area has adequate space to store compost for the continent operation although the facility intends on selling the compost as a soil amendment. The storage piles will not exceed eight (8) feet in height and 15 feet in width to maintain product integrity. All storage piles will have a 25 foot horizontal separation for fire protection.

Moisture content of a compost mix is important because the microorganisms responsible for biodegradation of the waste need water to survive and grow. The desired moisture content of the compost mix is between 40% and 60%. Moisture will be monitored with two methods; the ‘‘squeeze’’ test in the field which will be performed on a daily basis, and the microwave oven method which will be performed on a weekly basis. The ‘‘squeeze’’ moisture test is done by grabbing a handful of compost from the interior of the pile in an area that is well mixed. If the material appears dry and crumbles after squeezing then it is to dry. If the material retains its clumped shape after squeezing without releasing excess water and leaves the hand damp then it is approximately between 40% and 60% which is the desired moisture content. The microwave oven test is a more accurate test. This method is accomplished by a few simple steps: 1. Weigh out a wet sample collected directly from a windrow. 2. Weigh the sample after it is dried in a microwave oven. 3. Find the weight of water evaporated by subtracting the wet sample weight from the dry sample weight. 4. Finally calculate the moisture content percentage by dividing the weight of water evaporated by the weight of the wet (original) sample and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. Temperature is one of the primary measures for testing compost because the heat produced during the process is directly related to microbial activity. After the initial turning/mixing process, windrows will remain undisturbed for the first three (3) to five (5) days to allow temperatures and microbial activity to increase. Once temperatures have maintained at or above 131 degrees Fahrenheit for at least three (3) days, the windrows will be turned. Temperature will be monitored and recorded on a daily basis to ensure that the compost has achieved adequate thermophylic levels while not exceeding 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperature testing will be performed at one (1) and three (3) foot depths and 20 foot intervals along both sides of all windrows. Generally, five (5) percent oxygen concentration is considered the minimum for sustained aerobic composting. CTD operators will ensure adequate oxygen content in compost piles by maintaining structural porosity within the windrows. This will be accomplished by inspecting the incoming waste after the grinding and screening process to ensure the consistency of the compost material. If a windrow is inspected and found to be too dense, not porous enough, it will be ‘‘fluffed’’ either by turning or combining some cured compost with the volumetrically-reduced compost.

The facility will collect representative samples and have them tested by a certified laboratory before any final compost product is released for sale. The facility will perform the following procedure for sampling the compost: 1. Collect samples from areas of the compost pile that are representative of the general appearance and will avoid collecting atypically moist samples (> 60% moisture). If the samples are suspected of being to moist after they are collected new samples must be collected. 2. A representative compost sample will be collected from appropriate sampling locations and consist of no less then five (5) point samples. All samples will be taken at least 15 inches inside the windrow. 3. All samples will then be added to a sterilized five (5) gallon bucket and mixed thoroughly for subsequent testing. Some of the compost samples collected, according to the sampling procedure above, will be tested and examined by the facility to ensure that the compost has minimal pathogenic organisms, is free from offensive odor, contain no sharp particles that would cause injury to persons handling the compost, and if directions are provided with the compost product it shall have unrestricted applications and distributions. All product distribution shall be in accordance with 15 NCAC 13B.1407(d)(3) for a Type 1 facility. The final compost product may be sold to the public if it is determined to be of suitable quality. Before any compost product is sold or given away it will be tested pursuant to 15 NCAC 13B.1407. The samples to be tested will be obtained according to the sampling procedure above and processed using the following protocol: 1. Sample will be chilled immediately following collection and preparation. 2. They will then be bagged and labeled in water tight bags/containers and packed in a cooler with cooling packs. 3. Finally, the samples will be shipped to a approved laboratory for delivery within 24 hours only to be accepted by the laboratory if received at or below four (4) degrees Celsius.

The area designated for the finished products will be accessible for both equipment involved in the storage as well as the equipment involved in loading the finished product off-site. The storage areas provide a buffer between processing operations and truck loading operations to maintain a safe controlled working environment. Areas designated for storage will be protected against excessive runoff, soil loss or erosion by providing surface water diversions, silt fence, applying mulch products, or other best management practices (BMP’s). The stockpiles shall not exceed heights beyond the limits of equipment available on-site or in such quantities as to provide a fire hazard due to decomposition (i.e. for the mulch product). 3.3.7 Trouble Shooting The final product must be maintained and monitored to prevent fire potential and to maintain an acceptable product. Typical problems and solutions have been provided in Table 3.1. This table may be updated from time to time to include additional information about the specific process at this site. TABLE 3.

The primary customers are assumed to be landscaping and grading companies through the remedial development period. DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual September 2015 4.0 Environmental Management Page 27 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT This section reviews the overall environmental management tasks required for the successful operation of the CTD LCID Landfill. 4.1 Surface Water Control As used herein, the definition of ‘‘surface water’’ is water which results from precipitation or site run-on that has not contacted the waste. Proper surface water control at the facility will accomplish the following goals: • Minimize the potential for the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States, including wetlands (point or non-point sources); • Prevent the run-on of surface water into the landfill unit(s) or the active face(s); • Prevent the run-off of surface water that has come into contact with the waste (i.e. leachate); • Limit the erosion caused by surface waters; • Limit sediments carried off-site by surface waters; and • Maximize the SEPARATION of SURFACE water from LEACHATE. The following is a brief discussion of some of these features and practices, focusing more on the landfill units. 4.1.1 Surface Water Run-On Control The perimeter berms and/or perimeter channels around the landfill unit(s) are designed to prevent the run-on of surface water from adjacent land into the landfill. Additional structures such as diversion berms, channels, down pipes, etc. carry surface water away from the landfill. 4.1.2 Active Face Run-Off Control Particular care is required to ensure that surface water coming from the active face, e.g. having potential contact with the waste, is allowed to percolate into the underlying waste. Only run-off from disposal surfaces that have received adequate cover is not considered leachate and should be directed to the stormwater drainage system where practical. 4.1.3 Erosion Control The serviceability of the landfill relies heavily on soil berms, barrier layers, and agricultural layers that are readily eroded by flowing water. Erosion control provisions incorporated in the landfill include the following: • The slope of the working face should typically be no steeper than DocuSign Envelope ID: E6370D91-1F0A-4BD5-AA8A-330649C90421 Carolina Tree Debris LCID Landfill (Permit No. 92-V) Operations Manual September 2015 4.0 Environmental Management Page 28 practical to limit erosion of the periodic cover. • Intermediate cover that has been exposed for more than 30 days must be seeded immediately and repaired when erosion features are identified. • Water collected by each drainage break is routed to stormwater drainage channels or down pipes so that the run-off volume does not accumulate going down the slope. • The vegetative soil layer placed over the final cover must be seeded immediately. Additional erosion control measures have been established within the drainage channels and at points of stormwater discharge. Final cover should be inspected regularly for erosion damage and promptly repaired. Revegetation should be performed in accordance with the requirements of the applicable erosion and sedimentation control plan and/or the NC Erosion and Sedimentation Control Planning and Design Manual2. 4.1.4 Sedimentation Control Stormwater run-off from the landfill unit(s) is conveyed to one of the on-site sediment basins and traps. These basins should be inspected regularly for sediment build-up or erosion damage. The basins and/or traps should be cleaned out when sediment fills the lower half of the basin. 4.2 Vector Control Due to the nature of the waste disposed in this landfill unit, vector control is not anticipated to be of concern. Note that the use of periodic cover will discourage animals from nesting in the waste. 4.3 Odor Control Due to the nature of the waste disposed in this landfill unit, odor control is not anticipated to be of concern. However, if odor control becomes a problem, additional measures (such as additional cover) will be implemented to ensure odor control. 4.4 Dust Control Dust related to equipment operations and traffic on the access roads will be minimized by strict enforcement of slow speeds across the site. 2 NC Division of Land Resources (Current Update), North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual, NCDENR - Division of Land Resources - Land Quality Section, Raleigh, NC.

The information contained herein was prepared to provide facility personnel with methodology and reporting requirements to satisfy these requirements. 5.2 Documentation An essential component of solid waste facilities is documentation from the time the materials enter the site to the last cubic yard of material is disposed or delivered to the customer. The documentation is used to improve efficiency in the process, modify process designs, and in troubleshooting of the process. The establishment of a reliable continuing record for proof of performance, thus justifies operational decisions, expenditures, and recommendations. Daily operational records also provide information useful in process adjustments required due to climatic or seasonal changes or other recurring problems of a specific nature. Accurate records also provide the basis for planning future expansion, planning future modifications, establishing and adjusting operating budgets, and providing evidence of performance in compliance with regulatory agencies. The NC DEQ Division of Waste Management requires record keeping on the inflow and outflow of material. Personnel from the NC DEQ Division of Waste Management will make periodic visits to the facility. During these inspections, a review of operational and other records may be requested. The following are points in the process where monitoring documentation are anticipated: (i) Waste Screening Logs (ii) Daily Volume Records (iii) Employee Training Procedures and Records of Training Completed (iv) Un-Acceptable Wastes Disposal Tickets (v) Grinding and Chipping Logs (vi) Laboratory Testing identifying soil or mulch properties such as density and gradation (if performed). (vii) Screening Logs (viii) Finished Product Inventory identifying the quantity and type of material produced by classification. (ix) All Closure Information where applicable including testing, certification and recording. (x) Annual Report for the period of July 1 to June 30 shall be submitted to the Division by August 1st of each year.

RE: Carolina Tree Debris Site Visit Summary On Thursday afternoon July 14, 2016 I visited the Carolina Tree Debris site located at 1417 Old Watkins Road, Raleigh NC 27616. I met with Marvin Butler and Matthew Butler regarding excavating several test pits in the southern portion of the site to determine if soil could be excavated and/or used for cover, and if there was potential additional space that could be utilized for LCID disposal above groundwater. TEST PIT 1 (TP-1): Dug near the eastern property buffer. The soil was primarily medium yellow orange, medium grained sandy silt with small rock fragments. No bedrock or groundwater was observed to a depth of 15 ft below the ground surface. TEST PIT 2 (TP-2): Attempted near the drainage feature near the southeastern portion of the property. Rock was encountered at approximately 3.5ft below ground surface, groundwater was not encountered. Additional test pits were not attempted in this area due to potential water/utility lines. TEST PIT 3 (TP-3): Planned generally in the center of the southern area, in the vicinity of the current scalehouse. Not dug due to multiple granite outcrops in the vicinity and limited access due to present area use UPDATE - 8/1/2016: On Thursday Morning August 4, 2016 I met with Thomas Butler. I walked around the area of the property along Old Watkins road identifying rock visible at the ground surface and several potential locations for Hand Augers (HA). Two locations in the front of the property were hand augured to 5’ bgs with no rock or gw encountered. A third location in the southeastern corner of the property was also HA to a depth of 5’ with no rock or water encountered.
