Five solid <br />waste landfills and two other permitted solid waste facilities are located within one mile of the <br />subject property. This property is adjacent to the closed Orange County MSW and construction and <br />demolition landfills (6801-MSWLF-1982, 6801-CDLF-1993, 6801-MSWLF). Closed landfills have the <br />potential to release contaminants into the environment and could affect groundwater. Additional <br />information about these facilities can be found at the following links: 6801-CDLF-1993 6801- <br />MSWLF-1982 6801-MSWLF 6801-MSWLF-1993 6804-CDLF-2005 6801-HHW-2003 6806-HHW- <br />2018 Otherwise, the review has been completed and has found no adverse impact on the <br />surrounding community and likewise knows of no situations in the community, which would affect <br />this project from a solid waste perspective. <br />During the project, every feasible effort should be made to minimize the generation of waste, to <br />recycle materials for which viable markets exist, and to use recycled products and materials in the <br />development of this project where suitable. Any waste generated by this project that cannot be <br />beneficially reused or recycled must be disposed of at a solid waste management facility approved <br />to manage the respective waste type. The Section strongly recommends that any contractors are <br />required to provide proof of proper disposal for all waste generated as part of the project. A list of <br />permitted solid waste management facilities is available on the Solid Waste Section portal site at: <br />https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-management/solid-waste-section/solid-waste-permitted- <br />facility-information-and-guidance/solid-waste-facility-lists <br /> <br />Please contact Chuck Kirchner, Environmental Senior Specialist, for any questions regarding solid <br />waste management for this project. Mr. Kirchner can be reached at (336) 776-9633 or by email at <br />chuck.kirchner@deq.nc.gov. <br /> <br />Ec: Jason Watkins, Field Operations Branch Head <br /> Chuck Kirchner, Environmental Senior Specialist <br /> <br />121
