Only yard waste will be accepted at the site, and no feedstocks will be accepted from other sources. The leafs are collected by a vacuum trailer which grinds and breaks down the leafs in the collection process. They are unloaded from the vacuum trailers at the city's yard waste collection site. The limbs are collected in packer trucks and boom trucks and hauled to the city's yard waste handling site where they are ground up in a tub grinder. Both the ground leafs and limbs will be loaded at the city's yard waste handling site and hauled to the Grant's Creek Compost Facility to be placed in windrows for passive composting. The windrows will have the temperatures monitored at every third of the pile approximately 4 foot off the ground. At each location the temperature will be recorded at 12 inches and at 36 inches with a 3 foot thermometer making every effort to obtain temperature measurements representative of the entire batch of compost. Temperatures will begin on a weekly basis when the windrow has been established. Once the temperatures reach 131 degrees F, the temperatures will begin to be monitored daily to check they remain there for a minimum of 3 days. The compost temperatures will be monitored for a minimum of 3 days to insure .1406 (10) 131 degrees F is met prior to being added to the compost distribution pile. The compost pipes will be turned with loaders and a compost turner. The site has been laid out to allow the offsite water to flow through existing drainage features with no restrictions from the windrows. The uphill rainwater is controlled through a series of ditches and pipes and empties across the drive through a pipe into a draw through the middle of the site. This draw will remain undisturbed other than being mowed to allow the water to flow through as it currently does. The run off from the compost site will be allowed to flow naturally downhill as the current site grade allows. The water enters into a heavily wooded area with will remain undisturbed for a natural buffer and filter of the stormwater water. The facility will operate as a passive compost site and there are no foreseen plans to operate under rain conditions.

Davis, P.E. cc: Mooresville Regional Office Central Files Stormwater Permitting Program Files STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF ENERGY MINERAL & LAND RESOURCES CERTIFICATE OF COVERAGE No. NCG240017: authorizing SURFACE WATER DISCHARGES under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. In compliance with the provision of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 as amended by North Carolina Session Law 2012-200, other lawful standards and regulations promulgated and adopted by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, City of Salisbury is hereby authorized to discharge from a Type 1 composting facility (as defined in 15A NCAC 13B .1400) located at Salisbury Grants Creek Compost Facility 210 West Franklin Street Salisbury Rowan County to receiving waters designated as Grants Creek, a class C, water in the Yadkin / Pee Dee River Basin. Pursuant to the provisions of Session Law 2012-200, a Type 1 composting facility is not required to have a NPDES permit for discharge of process wastewater. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in the General Permit, all discharges of stormwater, including stormwater which comes into direct contact with or results from the production or use of any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, byproduct, or waste product are authorized which comply with the stormwater pollution management requirements, monitoring requirements, reporting requirements, and other conditions set forth in Part 1, Part II A - D, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, and Part VII of General Permit No. NCG240000. In accordance with the provisions of Session Law 2012-200, the process wastewater mana e� ment requirements do not apply to the composting discharges from this Type I facility, and all composting operation discharges are authorized when the facility complies only with the stormwater provisions of the General Permit. To the extent any provisions may be read to impose the process wastewater standards in the General Permit to discharges from the permittee's facility, the provisions are suspended and do not apply. This Certificate of Coverage is an enforceable part of General Permit NCG240000, and shall become effective for the permittee on July 16, 2014. This Certificate of Coverage shall remain in effect for the duration of the General Permit. Signed this day, July 16, 2014. 11, for Tracy E. Davis, P.E., Director Division of Energy Mineral & Land Resources By the Authority of the Environmental Management Commission n'042?05?I" I:0531045681: 04?100184811' Salisbury Grants Creek Compost Facility 1915 Grubb Ferry Rd Salisbury, NC 28144 Large Type 1 The feedstock for the composting facility will be generated from the City of Salisbury's limb and leaf collection service. Only yard waste will be accepted at the site, and no feedstocks will be accepted from other sources. The leafs are collected by a vacuum trailer which grinds and breaks down the leafs in the collection process. They are unloaded from the vacuum trailers at the city's yard waste collection site. The limbs are collected in packer trucks and boom trucks and hauled to the city's yard waste handling site where they are ground up in a tub grinder. Both the ground leafs and limbs will be loaded at the city's yard waste handling site and hauled to the Grant's Creek Compost Facility to be placed in windrows for passive composting. The windrows will have the temperatures monitored at every third of the pile approximately 4 foot off the ground. At each location the temperature will be recorded at 12 inches and at 36 inches with a 3 foot thermometer making every effort to obtain temperature measurements representative of the entire batch of compost. Temperatures will begin on a weekly basis when the windrow has been established. Once the temperatures reach 131 degrees F, the temperatures will begin to be monitored daily to check they remain there for a minimum of 3 days. The compost temperatures will be monitored for a minimum of 3 days to insure .1406 (10) 131 degrees F is met prior to being added to the compost distribution pile. The compost pipes will be turned with loaders and a compost turner. The site has been laid out to allow the offsite water to flow through existing drainage features with no restrictions from the windrows. The uphill rainwater is controlled through a series of ditches and pipes and empties across the drive through a pipe into a draw through the middle of the site. This draw will remain undisturbed other than being mowed to allow the water to flow through as it currently does. The run off from the compost site will be allowed to flow naturally downhill as the current site grade allows. The water enters into a heavily wooded area with will remain undisturbed for a natural buffer and filter of the stormwater water. The facility will operate as a passive compost site and there are no foreseen plans to operate under rain conditions. t� C f n I I } I I f I 1 2 3 4 5 _ _ !
