The SCS Team has unsurpassed qualifications in solid waste management engineering and consulting as discussed herein. COUNTY SOLID WASTE PROGRAM BACKGROUND The Orange County Solid Waste Management Department(Department) solid waste and recycling program operations are organized under four Divisions. The Environmental Support Services Division consists of various Department support elements including planning and administrative functions, utilities, maintenance, education and outreach, and enforcement. The Landfill Services Division is responsible for the operation of the construction and demolition (C&D) landfill, scales and weighing, incoming waste materials inspections, maintenance and monitoring of the three closed landfills, oversight of temporary storm debris management sites, and general Eubanks Road site grounds maintenance and security. The Recycling Services Division manages a variety of recycling programs (including weekly urban curbside, semi- weekly rural curbside, and commercial recycling programs), services, and facilities. Finally, Sanitation Services Division responsibilities include the operation of five Solid Waste and Recycling Centers, collection of waste from County buildings and schools, and the collection of bulky waste items. Orange County owns the now-closed Orange County Landfill located at 1514 Eubanks Road in Chapel Hill,NC. The landfill was permanently closed prior to reaching its full capacity effective July 1, 2013. The site is located approximately 4 miles north of the Town of Chapel Hill and is co-located with two other closed landfills (one C&D unit and one MSW unit) as well as the active Orange County C&D Landfill, which is currently owned and operated by the County. C&D debris, stumps, land clearing waste, mobile homes, mattresses/box springs, yard waste, clean wood waste, and stockpiled tires are accepted at the materials handling area of the site. Old corrugated cardboard(OCC), oyster shells, electronics, residential/commercial tires, large appliances, and scrap metal are accepted from residents for free. Also located in the vicinity of 1 23 Orange County, NC RFQ 5225 SCS ENGINEERS the Landfill site is the Eubanks Solid Waste and Recycling Center, a residential drop-off material collection center, and the Solid Waste Management Department Administration Building. Orange County maintains one of the highest waste reduction rates in the state, with 64 percent waste reduction as compared to the 1997 baseline. The County currently transports the solid waste from the collection centers to a transfer station owned by the City of Durham. SCS understands that the County is currently exploring the potential to construct and operate a local transfer station and other alternatives to the current approach for solid waste management and disposal.

We have developed time-tested specification sections covering geomembrane liners, geosynthetic clay liners, geocomposite drainage nets, low permeability soil liners, leachate collection systems and other technical specification that are unique to SCS for our landfill projects. These technical specifications formed the basis for many landfills in the area, and are available to SCS staff via our intranet database. Also, these specifications are written in the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format for ease of use and uniformity. We also hold licenses for EJCDJ"front-end" documents that have become industry standards. 16 38 Orange County, NC RFQ 5225 SCS ENGINEERS SCS' Construction Engineering Group provides construction engineering services for new lined landfills, landfill expansions, closure capping, site improvements, LFG control systems, groundwater extraction systems, and other features. Our services range from full-time, on-site Resident Engineering, earthwork and geosynthetic observation, documentation and certification of construction to periodic observation and testing of individual features. We also serve in the capacity of Owner's Representative, assist in negotiations with contractors and issuance of change orders, review and comment on shop drawings, contractor pay requests, submittal reviews and related administrative functions. SCS staff have been involved in construction of conventional Subtitle D liners and alternative bottom liners, leachate collection and transmission systems and have experience in inspection and testing of geomembrane materials (e.g., HDPE, LDPE, PVC, VFPE and others), geocomposite drainage nets, geosynthetic clay liners, bentonite amended soil liners, granular drainage layers, as well as LFG extraction wells, groundwater monitoring wells, and many other landfill related structures and features. SCS conducts mock inspections and operations audits following prescribed regulatory checklists and industry standards to evaluate the landfill's daily productivity, costs, and compliance record. Preparation of an updated operations manual, stormwater plan, and interim/final grading plan may be appropriate during landfill development. Exhibit 7 highlights SCS' extensive landfill engineering and construction QA/QC experience in the mid-Atlantic region. Leachate Collection and Treatment Systems SCS staff has been involved in design of leachate collection, recirculation, and treatment systems in many regions of the country. SCS has employed various technologies including extended aeration, nitrification/denitrification, activated carbon, constructed wetlands, and chemical treatment to address site-specific leachate characteristics and site conditions. The selection of a treatment approach is dependent on many variables, including site location, leachate quality and quantity, availability of utilities, discharge limitations, and environmental regulations. Because of variability in leachate quality, treatment approaches must be evaluated on a case by case basis. Landfill Closure, Post-Closure Care, and End-Use Planning Along with our landfill design and construction services, SCS also understands the long-term requirements to properly close a landfill and use it for beneficial purposes; capping, stormwater control, LFG, leachate collection and management, re-vegetation, groundwater monitoring, mitigation of settlement, etc. Post-closure service areas offered by SCS include the following: ✓ Final Cover System Monitoring and Maintenance ✓ Surface Water Monitoring and Drainage System Maintenance 17 39 Orange County, NC RFQ 5225 SCS ENGINEERS ✓ Gas and Vapor Extraction Systems Operation, Monitoring, and Maintenance ✓ Groundwater Sampling and Treatment System Operation, Monitoring, and Maintenance ✓ Odor and Air Emissions Monitoring, Investigations, Modeling and Remediation ✓ Infrastructure (Roads, Fencing, Utilities, etc.) Exhibit 7: Landfill Design, Permit, & CQA Project Experience to Project Location c O N O cd O c c e O eZC d e'"-C- C •N d as IS ce rn _° t a N N £ d Q Q 0 o Q V t _ C m C a'teW y U W a ° c C Q h £ l m a - a d a e Wi Z c c a o d — c rn a i L O W o.` m " = U - ' to a t ° e C a i 0O ° z CI W d d 0 0 0 0 a L W a Z > NORTH CAROLINA Waste Connections Anson County MSW LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Anson County Closed MSW Lilesville LF ✓ ✓ ✓ Asheville C&D LF ✓ Buncombe County Closed LF ✓ ✓ Elk Mountain Closed MSW LF ✓ ✓ Gold Hill Road LF ✓ ✓ ✓ New Hanover County LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Republic Charlotte Motor Speedway MSW LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Union County C&D and Closed MSW LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Republic Lake Norman C&D LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ York Road Closed MSW LF ✓ ✓ ✓ VIRGINIA Accomack County 2 LFs ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Bedford County LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Bristol ISWMF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Brunswick Waste Management LF ✓ ✓ ✓ Charles City County LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Fairfax County 1-66&I-95 LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Fauquier County LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Fluvanna County LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Frederick County LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ King George County LF ✓ Norfolk Campostella LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Page County LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Prince William County LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Richmond 3 Closed LF ✓ ✓ ✓ Shenandoah County LF ✓ ✓ ✓ Shoosmith Sanitary LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Suffolk Hosier Road LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Suffolk SPSA Regional LF ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ MARYLAND 18 40 Orange County, NC RFQ 5225 SCS ENGINEERS ac 0 C w W N C od Cu U C N W o £ E N P- c N•° O 011 C V N V c .0 m O y C o £ o £ „ d o W a.a ° c v N 2 a -a wow °C $ £ c c d a u�, d a 5 w z C .Q a 0 O w v� O a7 ..

Since a decade ago when four Little League baseball fields and associated features were built over the ii0 landfil l footprint, on-going and significant differential settlement has resulted in drainage problems, ponding of water, and distress and distortion to the dugouts, fences and scoreboards and other site features. Maintenance has been performed over the years, but the settlement problems have persisted, causing two fields to Project Profile 71 SCS ENGINEERS be deemed unusable. SCS was asked to evaluate the situation and ImillIgnir --m. provide recommendations. - Construction Quality Assurance. CQA was implemented during construction of the 8.5-acre landfill cell. This work was completed as of December 2000 and included bid assistance, contract addenda, bid review, recommendations regarding award, review of contractor submittals, resident engineering, r construction oversight, and preparation of a certification report to the VDEQ.

Work was performed in accordance with the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Virginia's Emissions Standards for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (Rule 4-43), SCS Field Services (SCS-FS) has performed emergency repairs and several expansions to the LFG system. Collection and Control System. The LFG collection and control system was constructed on a fast track schedule and completed __ prior to the Section 29 Tax Credit Deadline. The collection a : system is currently operated and maintained by SCS-FS under _ 1 contract to the LFG developer. Tasks performed are summarized ' below: a --_A I LFG Utilization for Useful Purpose. Designed a LFG utilization --a ' - project to fuel heat buildings and fuel animal incinerator. Use of LFG in animal incinerator is the first in the US. Currently the system is operated by the County. Groundwater Monitoring and Consulting. SCS assisted the County in the groundwater monitoring requirements as set forth by the Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations. Groundwater monitoring and consulting services have Project Profile 72 SCS ENGINEERS included the following: Reviewed available geologic and hydrogeologic information concerning the site. Provided statistical analysis of the detection monitoring data and identified exceedances. Developed an assessment monitoring program. Provided statistical analysis of the data from the assessment monitoring program and prepared annual reports for submission to VDEQ. Conducted hydrogeological evaluations and developed groundwater protection standards for Appendix 5.1 constituents and submitted a major permit amendment to the VDEQ. Solid Waste Budget An Enterprise Fund finances the County's solid waste program. SCS reviews the County's budget annually in accordance with the requirements of the Landfill Revenue Bond Covenant of the Virginia Resource Authority. The reviews examine the expenses incurred, revenues earned, operation loss/profit, etc. Also, we review current year budgets and projections for long-term costs of future development, closure, and post-closure costs for future Phase I, II, and III. Waste Characterization Study. SCS conducted a two-season characterization study of residential and commercial waste generated and collected in the County. Information gathered from this study will help the County plan for future waste diversion programs and coordinate outreach and education efforts. Additionally, the data from this study can be compared to future studies to help the County evaluate the effect of various programs and communication efforts. There were 100 samples acquired and hand-sorted into 46 material categories. Waste samples were acquired from single- family residential, multi-family residential and commercial sources. Recycling programs have decreased the proportion of recyclable materials in the waste stream since 1992. There has been a significant reduction in the proportion of glass, metals, and paper in the waste stream since 1992. However, the proportion of plastic has doubled since 1992 as a likely result of the increase in plastic packaging. Yard Waste Composting Facility Design and Permitting. SCS prepared the hydrogeological analysis, permit applications and designs for a yard waste-composting site at Ball's Ford Road to be operated by a Contractor. The site covers approximately 38 Project Profile 73 SCS ENGINEERS acres in the City of Manassas. The composting area is approximately 20 acres. SCS recently amended the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Permit By Rule to accept and compost food waste. New Household Hazardous Waste/Electronic Waste Facility Conceptual Site Design. SCS prepared a conceptual design for a household hazardous waste and electronics acceptance, processing and storage area. The prior HHW and electronics area was not sufficient to accommodate the volume of HHW and electronics collected. In addition, some residential vehicles cannot easily negotiate the turnaround area without backing up and the facility does not currently have loading docks for ease of material transfer. Tasks included: • Design basis memorandum • Development of conceptual design plans • Projection of HHW/E-waste quantities Project Profile 74 Appendix B STATEMENT OF LITIGATION 75 December 1, 2016 CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM TO: The County of Orange, NC FROM: SCS Engineers SUBJECT: County of Orange,North Carolina General Engineering and Environmental Management Services RFQ 5225 SCS has been in business since 1970, has offices throughout the United States and other parts of the world, and stands behind our work.
