Gentlemen:

This concerns your transmittal dated March 19, 2007 providing your request for a jurisdictional determination of a parcel of land within Sections 13 and 14, Township 18 S, Range 63E and Sections 7, 18, 19 and 20 in Clark County, approximately 15 miles northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. This parcel was previously determined nonjurisdictional by this office in 1993 ( 199300587).

Based on the information provided, and based also on a subsequent field verification by this office, we determined that the parcel falls within an isolated basin and does not have a nexus to interstate commerce. Therefore, a Department of the Army permit is not required for the development of this site.

This determination is valid for five years from the date of this letter, unless new information warrants revision of the determination before the expiration date. A Notification of Administrative Appeal Options and Process and Request for Appeal Form is enclosed. If you wish to appeal this approved jurisdictional determination, please follow the procedures on the form. You should provide a copy of this letter and notice to all other affected parties, including any individual who has an identifiable and substantial legal interest in the property. Please refer to number 2007-461-SG in any correspondence concerning this project.

Apex Valley is designated as nonattainment area for 8-hour ozone (regulated through NOx and VOC) and is PSD for PM1o, CO, S02.

Republic is a major source for PM10, NOx, SOx. HAP and H2S and minor source for CO and VOC. Republic has served as the primary municipal solid waste landfill for Clark County since October of 1993. The types of material the landfill accepts includes municipal solid waste, petroleum contaminated soil, asbestos, construction debris, sewage sludge, septic waste, medical waste and dead animal waste. Republic has a gas capture and collection system with an internal combustion enclosed combustor (Callidus Flare) capable of burning at 29.40 MMBtu/hr or 1,000 cubic foot per minute (EU: W07). The landfill gas capture and collection system is designed to capture approximately 75 percent of the landfill gas generated, leaving approximately 25 percent as fugitive emissions. This Part 70 Operating Permit is issued based on the Authority to Construct application (AQR12.4.3.2.b) submitted on December 14, 2010, and supplemental information submitted on March 21, 2011.

RE: Requesting Approval to use Leachate for Dust Control at the Apex Class I Landfill

After reviewing your request and the infonnation provided to the Clark County Health District by the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection the Health District is approving your request to use leachate for dust control over the lined portions of the Class I landfill. The leachate can only be applied to the top of existing cover material on lined portions of the landfill to help stabilize the dust and enhance the desert pavement effect. Any run-off from the application of the leachate must be controlled and diverted from areas where liners do not exist on the landfill property. Also, no leachate run-off can leave the confmes of the landfill. If this occurs, you will be subject to enforcement under Chapter 444. If you have any questions, please give me a call at 383-1274.

Dear Mr. Tidwell:

This letter is in response to your December 18, 2009 request for revalidation for a non-jurisdictional determination on the Apex Waste Management Facility. The project is located in Sections 18, 19, and 20, Township 18 South, Range 64 East, and Sections 13 and 24, Township 18 South, Range 63 East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian, Apex, Clark County, Nevada. The project area is part of a dry lake playa that drains internally and is considered a closed basin.

Based on the information you have provided, past jurisdictional determinations, and previous site visits to the closed basin, we have determined that the proposed work is exempt from Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Therefore, a Department of the Army Permit is not required for this work. 1bis verification is valid for five years from the date of this letter.

Our disclaimer of jurisdiction is only for this activity as it pertains to Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act and does not refer to, nor affect jurisdiction over any waters present on site. Other Federal, State, and local laws may apply to your activities. Therefore, in addition to contacting other Federal and local agencies, you should also contact state regulatory authorities to determine whether your activities may require other authorizations or permits.

We appreciate your feedback. At your earliest convenience, please tell us how we are doing by completing the customer survey on our website under Customer Service Survey.

Dear Mr. Anderson:

On December 6, 2007, Shaw Environmental, Inc. (Shaw) on the behalf of Republic Services of Southern Nevada submitted an application for the permitting of two retention basins proposed for construction at the Apex Regional Landfill located in Clark County, Nevada . According to the Division of Water Resources classification, both basins classify as dams. The applications have been reviewed by the Division of Water Resources (DWR). On February 1, 2008 an email from DWR was received by Mr. Alan Gaddy of Republic Services. The email included several comments and questions related the application submitted.

The two basins proposed for permitting at this time have been designated Basin No. 1 (DWR tracking no. J608) and Basin No. 2 (DWR tracking no. 1609). Basin No. 1 is located adjacent to the next landfill module to be constructed at the site, MA-9. Basin No.2 is located next to the subsequent landfill module to be constructed at the site, MA-11. Currently only final construction plans for Basin No. 1 have been competed and submitted for review. Shaw and Republic Services recognize that the Basin No. 2 final design must be completed and approved by DWR prior to a permit for this basin being issued. Therefore, Republic Services is only pursuing the permitting of Basin No. 1 at this time with the intention of pursing the Basin No. 2 permit within the near future.

Provided below are responses to the comments received in the email that pertain to Basin No. 1. The DWR comments are presented in italics followed by the Shaw response.

II.A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS

II.A.1. Change in Discharge


All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated facility expansions, or treatment modifications which will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission of a new application or, if such changes will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the permit issuing authority of such changes. Any changes to the permitted treatment facility must comply with Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 445A.283 to 445A.285. Pursuant to NAC 445A.263, the permit may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited.

II.A.2. Facilities Operation The Permittee shall at all times maintain in good working order and operate as efficiently as possible all treatment or control facilities, collection systems or pump stations installed or used by the Permittee to achieve compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit.

II.A.3. Adverse Impact The Permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse impact to receiving waters resulting from noncompliance with any effluent limitations specified in this permit, including such accelerated or additional monitoring as necessary to determine the nature and impact of the non-complying discharge.

II.A.4. Noncompliance, Unauthorized Discharge, Bypassing and Upset


b. The Permittee shall notify NDEP's Spill Hotline at 1-888-331-6337 within twenty four (24) hours of any diversion, bypass, spill, upset, overflow or release of treated or untreated discharge other than that which is authorized by the permit. A written report shall be submitted to the Division within five (5) days of diversion, bypass, spill, overflow, upset or discharge, detailing the entire incident including:

1 . Time and date of discharge 2. Exact location and estimated amount of discharge 3. Flow path and any bodies of water which the discharge reached

4. The specific cause of the discharge, and 5. The preventive and corrective actions taken.


c. The following shall be included as information which must be reported within 24 hours: any unanticipated bypass which exceeds any effluent limitation in the permit; any upset which exceeds any effluent limitation in the permit; and violation of a limitation for any toxic pollutant or any pollutant identified as the method to control a toxic pollutant.

d. The Permittee shall report all instances of noncompliance not reported under Part II.A.4.b. at the time monitoring reports are submitted. The reports shall contain the information listed in Part II.A.4.b.

e. An "upset" means an incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with the permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.

f. In selecting the appropriate enforcement option, the Division shall consider whether or not the noncompliance was the result of an upset.

g. The burden of proof is on the Permittee to establish that an upset occurred. In order to establish that an upset occurred, the Permittee must provide, in addition to the information required under paragraph II.A.4.b, properly signed contemporaneous logs or other documentary evidence that:

1. The facility was at the time being properly operated as required in paragraph II.A.2, and

2. All reasonable steps were taken to minimize adverse impacts as required by paragraph II.A.3.

Dear Mr. Tidwell:

Jim Gibbons, Governor

Allen Bia9gi, Director

Lea M. Drozdoff, P.E., Administrator

Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute 445A.495, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection ("NDEP") has reviewed the renewal application for Discharge Permit NEV95010. Copies of the draft permit conditions, fact sheet, and public notice were sent to your office and the Clark County Board of County Commissioners for review and comments. The public notice was also published in the Las Vegas Review Journal and sent to interested persons and governmental agencies on NDEP's electronic notification e-mail list. During the 30-day public notice period which closed at 5:00P.M. on June 12, 2009, NDEP did not receive any written comments or inquiries. Therefore, NDEP made the decision to issue the enclosed discharge permit for a period of five (5) years. This pennit action does not constitute a significant change from the tentative determinations set forth in the public notice.

In accordance with the permit conditions, an annual review and services fee to maintain the discharge permit is due on July 1, 2010 and every year thereafter until the permit is terminated.

Should you have any questions in regards to this permit action, please call me at (775) 687-9429.

4.0 INTRODUCTION

The following Report of Design for the Apex Regional Landfill has been prepared in accordance with

Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 444.680. This report provides design details for the entire design of

the Apex Regional Landfill Class I Disposal Site. The original Report of Design for disposal units at the

Apex Regional Landfill was prepared by Vector Engineering in 1993. Vector’s report included disposal

units for the entire Apex Regional Landfill that formed the basis for the current operating permit Nos.

LF001-G3X-01 and LF002-G3X-01. Permit No. LF001-G3X-01 is a Class III disposal permit for 218 acres

and 81 million cubic yards (cy) of disposal capacity and Permit No. LF002-G3X-01 is a Class I disposal

permit for 1,015 acres and 784 million cy of disposal capacity. This report proposes to combine the

current industrial disposal area (Class III) as part of the existing municipal solid waste disposal areas

(Class I) under one permit.

The current permits reflect a total 1,233 acres of municipal solid waste disposal area with a total design

capacity of 865 million cy to a maximum elevation of 2,900 feet above mean sea level (msl). A revised

Design Report was completed in 1997 for both the municipal and industrial waste disposal areas as

reflected in comments made to these reports by the SNHD in a July 1999 letter. Changes made in this

2012 revision increase the usable disposal area to 1,722 acres with the total airspace remaining 865

million cubic yards.

The Apex Regional Landfill (landfill) is owned and operated by Republic DUMPco, Inc. (Republic). In

August 1997, the assets of Silver State Disposal and DUMPco were acquired by Republic Services Inc.

(then called Republic Industries Inc.). The landfill is located 15 miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada at the

intersection of Interstate 15 and Highway 93

This report and associated drawings have been prepared under the direct supervision and responsible

charge of Randall V. Wall, Nevada Professional Engineer No. 13746. Detailed drawings, specifications

and Construction Quality Assurance Manuals for the site are on file and updated as needed according to

industry standards.

4.1 Miscellaneous

4.1.1 Service Area

Apex Regional Landfill currently serves the greater Las Vegas Area including the cities of Las Vegas,

North Las Vegas, and Henderson along with most of the unincorporated areas of Clark County, Nevada.

The current population base of Clark County Nevada is nearly 1.4 million people. Out-of-state waste may

also be accepted.




4.1.2 Signs

The general site information presented on a sign at the site entrance includes the name of the owner,

hours of operation, materials accepted and excluded and fees charged for disposal. Tab 8.1, Figure 1

presents the location of this sign and all other signs on site for traffic flow and other needs.

4.1.3 Waste Management Areas

4.1.3.1 Waste Management Areas

To date, approximately 295 acres of landfill area have been developed for refuse disposal. The first two

municipal solid waste units were constructed in 1993 and are designated MA-1 and IA-1. These units

were designed and constructed following the Nevada Administrative Code and were approved for use by

the South Nevada Health District (SNHD). The design of these units include the use of a GundsealTM

liner comprised of 60-mil High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane with a bentonite soil layer

adhered to the bottom of the geomembrane to provide a composite liner. This liner product was placed

over natural ground subgrade as described in construction quality assurance documents on file at the

Health District. Cell IA-1 was constructed with a secondary GundsealTM liner below a leak detection

geocomposite drainage layer with a layer of 60-mil HDPE geomembrane above the geocomposite to

create a double liner for industrial waste area.

In 1994 an Alternative Liner Design was approved for the site, is provided in Tab 16, 2. The Alternative

Liner Design, allowed under Federal regulations, takes into consideration site specific factors such as the

geology and hydrogeology of the site for approving liner systems. The design involved placing a 60-mil

HDPE geomembrane over a thin layer of prepared soil subgrade, followed by 1-foot thick permeable

cover soil to protect the liner. Areas of the landfill with sloped surfaces greater than or equal to 2 to 1,

horizontal to vertical, do not have to be lined according to permit conditions. This condition

accommodates the mountainous terrain of the landfill.

In 1994, Cell MA-2 was constructed with this Alternative Liner Design. In 1995, MA-3 was constructed,

and in 1997, Cell MA-4 was constructed, each following the approved Alternative Liner Design.

In August 1998, Republic contracted with EMCON to create Specifications for the Construction of

Lining and Leachate Collection Systems, v. 1 (herein after refer to as “Specifications v.1”) for the Apex

Regional Landfill to formalize the 1994 approved Alternative Liner Design for the landfill. These

specifications added more conservative elements to the Alternative Liner Design including a requirement

for at least six inches of soil bedding placed above the subgrade, upon which the 60-mil HDPE

geomembrane would be placed, followed by at least six inches of “Select Fill” permeable material,

followed by at least 12 inches of “Random Fill” soil to protect the underlying layers.




In early 1999, Republic constructed Cells MA-0 and IA-2 following the Alternative Liner Design and

“Specifications v.1,” and once again, the IA-2 cell unit included an additional GundsealTM secondary liner

and geocomposite leak detection layer.

In September 1999, Cell MA-5 was constructed following the Alternative Liner Design and “Specifications

v.1” and in June 2001, MA-6 was constructed using an April 2001, rev 2, to the “Specifications” and the

Alternative Liner Design. Revision 2 to the Specification changed errors noted with the Specification v.1

calling for 12 inches of Select Fill above the geomembrane liner, when only six inches was intended and

constructed.

In February 2003, Republic constructed Cell MA-7 with “Specifications v.2. In May 2004, Cell MA-8 was

constructed using the Alternative Liner Design and an April 2004 version 3 of the “Specifications.”

Specification v.3, April 2004 was revised to present details of construction soils within Section 02225 for

Cell MA-8 rather than descriptions applicable to any cell built following the Specifications.

In June 2006, Cell MA-10 was constructed, following the Alternative Liner Design and referenced a

revision to the “Specifications” updated in March 2006, but still called v.3. This revision updated

geosynthetic liner construction quality control parameters which reflected current industry standards for

HDPE Manufacturing according to the Geosynthetic Research Institutes standard test GM-13.

In April 2007, Cell MA-21 was constructed following the June 2006 revision to the “Specifications” and the

Alternative Liner Design. In November 2009, MA-9 was also constructed according to the Cell MA-10

Alternative Liner Design.

Each of these specification revisions meet the basis of the original approved Alternative Liner Design

intent and are on file with the Health District.

Provided below is a table that summarizes the disposal cell construction dates.

evidence of Holocene faulting in the Las Vegas area. Rogers, et al. (1983) USGS Open-File Report 83-

669 indicates that most northwest trending faults within the Southern Great Basin, including the Las

Vegas shear zone, are inactive. By contrast, many faults of north to northeast orientation are active, using

evidence of late Quaternary displacement or current seismicity. Rogers, et al. (1983) concluded that faults

with a north to northeast trend should be considered potentially active in the Yucca Mountain area, though

geologic evidence and a current near absence of seismicity indicate they are not active.

Earthquakes in the Southern Great Basin occur at depths of up to 10 kilometers with no evidence that

they occur on listric faults, which are characterized by dips that shallow with depth (Rogers, et aI., 1983).

Rogers, et al. (1983) concluded that the earthquakes in the region are occurring on faults of significant

vertical extent. In contrast, north trending faults mapped by Longwell (1965) at the Apex Regional Landfill

are shallow angle thrust or reverse faults formed under a compressional tectonic regime during the

Cretaceous period, over 65 million years ago. Today, the Southern Great Basin is characterized by

extensional tectonics. Therefore, it is unlikely that the faults originally mapped by Longwell, et al. (1965)

are currently active. Geologic reconnaissance of an area with a 3,000 foot radius of municipal solid waste

landfill Cells IA and MA indicates no evidence of Holocene faulting. Field investigations conducted by

Vector and others indicated no displacement of alluvial or other surface deposits. A field and aerial

photograph investigation of the area by SEA, Inc., (SEA, 1988) confirmed the existence of thrust faults

mapped by Longwell in 1965, but concluded that there was no evidence of recent movement on the

faults. The SEA study also confirms the absence of any evidence of displacement of surface sediments.

Therefore, the Apex Regional Landfill satisfies the requirements of 444.6791.

Maps within USGS Open File Report 82-1033, entitled Probabilistic Estimates of Maximum Acceleration

and Velocity in Rock in the Contiguous United States, indicate that the Apex Regional Landfill lies within a

seismic impact zone with a maximum horizontal acceleration of 0.20g with a 10 percent chance of being

exceeded in 250 years. Vector Engineering conducted its own site-specific seismic assessment of the

Apex Regional Landfill utilizing a computer program entitled EQSEARCH. The program uses an

attenuation relation after Joyner and Boore (1982) combined with historical earthquake data for the years

from 1800 to 1991 to calculate the maximum probable ground acceleration experienced in the area

encompassing the site and having a 62-mile radius. The nearest historical earthquake was approximately

1 mile from the site with a maximum Richter magnitude of 5.0. SEA determined that a 1966 event 60

miles away in Clover Mountain had a magnitude 6.1. The computer analysis by Vector produced a

maximum probable ground acceleration of 0.073g with a 4 percent probability of exceedance in 100

years. Based on these findings, a conservative acceleration value of 0.15 g was utilized in all

pseudostatic stability analyses. Pursuant to 444.6793, all containment structures at the Apex Regional

Landfill are designed to resist a minimum peak ground acceleration value of 0.15g.




Pursuant to 444.6795, the stability of the Apex Regional Landfill was assessed and the results

incorporated into the overall design. Waste cell designs call for removing the relatively thin layer of

alluvium where present, exposing the bedrock beneath, and replacing the area with compacted fill.

Excavation down to bedrock decreases the likelihood of differential settlement.

A geologic investigation was conducted by SEA in 1988. According to this report, bedrock in the area

consists of limestone and siltstone. These bedrock structures are not likely to move under the proposed

waste loads. Surface soils, where present, generally consist of silty sands with gravel. Caliche is common

within this sparse alluvial covering. No expansive soils are known to exist anywhere on the facility.

Natural slopes around the site are composed almost entirely of well-indurated, relatively erosion-resistant

limestone bedrock. Rockfall potential has been recognized on the western and southern slopes of the

large synclinal ridge located northeast of MA -1.

Liquefaction of embankments, slopes, and soils are believed to be negligible given the lack of loose

sandy soil, depth to groundwater, and low seismic impact zone. There is no indication of karst terrain or

topography in the area.

4.1.4 Facilities

The site is equipped with an administration/maintenance building located approximately one mile east of

the site entrance. The plans for the facility are provided in Tabs 8.5. and 8.6. Generally, the maintenance

facility is a two story building with the administrative offices located on the second floor in the center of the

building. Parts stockroom, equipment maintenance bays and employee restrooms are located on the first

floor. Water is supplied from the water well MW-5 located at the northern perimeter of the site. Waste

water for the maintenance building is discharged to a 2,500 gallon underground septic tank and 2,250

gpd leachfield with distribution box and dosing tank. The layout of this system is presented on Sheet 3 of

4, Utility Plan in Tab 8.6. Waste water for the scalehouse is discharged to a 1,000 gallon septic tank and

1,000 gallon per day (gpd) leachfield.

The layout of this system is presented on Figure 6.1 in Tab 8.6. Waste water resulting from washing

vehicles and the maintenance building interior is treated in a 2,000 gallon sand-oil separator, stored in a

5,000 gallon holding tank, then discharged to water trucks for use as dust control over the lined area of

the landfill.

Onsite wastewater is discharged to septic systems permitted under permit #NEV95010 for the scalehouse

and maintenance building. Permit #NEV93011 was issued for the soil treatment facility from the Bureau of

Water Pollution Control. Permit #NEV2011510 as issued for the leachate holding tanks adjacent to the

H2S treatment facility.




The site operates a Bioremediation Facility and Liquid Solidification Area in accordance with the Nevada

Division of Environmental Protection Permit No. NEV93011, refer to Figures 1 through 3 in Tab 10.14.

There is one leachate collection sump and one leak detection sump located in pond 4 on the West side of

cell 4. These sumps are accessed with a 6-inch diameter pipe and a-3 inch diameter pipe respectively.

Waste water that meets the requirements of the permit is brought on site for disposal is discharged into

one of ten double lined (second liner provides secondary containment) evaporation ponds. The ponds are

considered one continuous unit because the liner system is continuous throughout the pond area with

earthen berms separating the individual cells beneath the liner system. Waste water disposed of is

evaporated and any residuals are disposed of within the landfill. The bioremediation facility encompasses

approximately 7.5 acres and is located north of the administration/maintenance building. The liquid

solidification area only accepts nonhazardous and non-petroleum-based liquids. All wastes are screened

for hazardous characteristics per applicable state and federal requirements. The approved liquids for

solidification can be mixed with wood chips, sawdust, soil, and/or auto fluff. The residual is landfilled.

Refer to tab 3.10, Industrial Waste Discharge Permit.

The site also operates a landfill gas (LFG) hydrogen sulfide (H2S) treatment facility. This facility is an

approximate 8,000 square feet enclosed building approximately equipped with H2S gas removal

equipment that is used to pretreat the LFG prior to combustion in turbines used to create electricity. The

energy plant, located on 1.5 acres in the southwestern corner of the site, uses the treated LFG to fuel two

Solar Centaur 60 combustion turbines manufactured by Solar Turbines, a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc.

LFG is drawn from vertical and horizontal wells up to 300 feet deep that tie into a header system that

conveys the LFG to the H2S removal system to treat sulfur content. Next, gas is filtered for moisture and

particulates then is compressed and injected into 5.5-megawatt air-cooled turbines that generate

electricity. Emissions are treated by a selective catalytic reduction process that removes harmful nitrogen

oxides from the exhaust plume.

Drinking water for the site is permitted by the Division of Environmental Protection Bureau of Safe Water

Drinking, Permit Number CL – 0379 – 12NTNC presented in Tab 3.12, Drinking Water Approval.

4.2 Air Control

Provisions in place for controlling dust to prevent a public nuisance include water pulls equipped with

spray bars which apply water or leachate (over lined areas) to unpaved haul roads and operating areas

adjacent to the working face. Approval of leachate application for dust control and the overall Title V Part

70 Operating Permit are provided in Tab 3.6.




4.3 Emergency Control

4.3.1 Fire Control

Operating personnel at the Apex Regional Landfill are prepared to provide immediate fire suppression in

the event of any active landfill face or structural fire. A 10,000 gallon water pull contains water for

emergency fire suppression. Fire suppressant systems on site include:

Appropriate placement of fire extinguishers capable of extinguishing fires rated A, B, or C in conformance with County, State and Federal law

Use of two on-site water wells to maintain a water reservoir with seven million gallons of available water resources at all times

A fire sprinkler system in the administrative/maintenance building and H2S treatment facility

A chemical fire suppressant system in the H2S treatment facility

Stockpiling of soils near to working face(s) for immediate coverage of detected waste fires.

Restriction of ignitable liquid materials from the site

The fire control approval is located in Tab 3, Section 3.7.

4.3.2 Pollution Control

The location restriction requires that the sub-soil structure of the Apex Regional Landfill provides a

reasonable assurance that any potential leachate generated from the landfill will not contaminate ground

waters or ephemeral waterways in the area. It also requires that suitable procedures will be followed to

prevent such contamination. Such procedures include:

The installation of a geomembrane liner system

The installation and operation of a leachate collection and removal system to collect leachate generated in the landfill

The control of storm water to prevent infiltration

The climatic conditions and geologic and hydrogeologic features of the landfill area also help to prevent

groundwater contamination. These features include:

The limestone bedrock that underlies the site

The low annual precipitation and high evapotranspiration rate in the area

The large distance from the ground surface to groundwater

A detailed assessment of these factors is included in the original Design Report (Vector, 1993).

The sites EPA identification number for the landfill is 110027803367.




Recovered liquids and materials used to service vehicles on site are disposed of properly and recycled

where appropriate.

4.3.3 Other Provisions

4.3.3.1 Communication

Site personnel are equipped with radios to allow for direct communication between management and

operating personnel. These radios not only provide an avenue for communication during normal operating

conditions but also provide communication assistance in case of emergency.

4.3.3.2 Emergency Escape Plan

The following contacts are made in the case of an emergency:

1. Contact LVP and KR Drenth (third party haulers)

2. Contact Republic operations supervisors

3. Contact employees

4. Meet at site entrance to discuss further evacuation procedures

As emergency escape plan for the facility is provided in Tab 8.4. This plan addresses emergency

provisions to be followed in the event of an emergency at the disposal area or at the maintenance facility.

4.3.3.3 Flood Control

Vector Engineering determined that the Apex Regional Landfill does not lie within a 100-year floodplain or

a major stream or playa, as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) refer to

Tab 3.9 and Figure 10-4 in Tab 10.6. A review of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban

Development FEMA Community Panel maps for Clark County unincorporated areas (nos. 320003 0026

and 320003 0027 A) shows that the nearest "Zone A" (100-year flood hazard zone) is approximately two

miles northwest of the site. This Zone A area depicts a portion of the alkali flat known as Dry Lake

4.4 Employees

A large maintenance facility equipped with lockers, a breakroom, restrooms, and a kitchen are provided

for personnel. On the second floor of the maintenance facility building, administrative offices for Republic

management and personnel are located. Wastewater generated from the Maintenance building is

discharged to a leachfield. Plumbing fixtures in the maintenance building consist of a restroom, kitchen,

shower, janitorial facilities and drinking fountains. A 2,500 gallon septic tank and 2,250 gpd leachfield with

distribution box and dosing tank serve this area.

Waste water resulting from washing vehicles and the maintenance building interior is treated in a 2,000

gallon sand-oil separator, stored in a 5,000 gallon holding tank, then discharged to water trucks for use as




dust control over the lined are of the landfill. Backwash, regeneration, and reject water from the drinking

water treatment system is also discharged to the holding tank. The drinking water system consists of

water softening, reverse osmosis, and filtration that is used to treat water from the onsite potable well.

Wastewater from the Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Treatment Facility operations building is discharged to a

tank and emptied as necessary.

The scale house at the landfill entrance is provided with electricity and restrooms. Communication from

the scale house is provided via telephone and radio. Wastewater generated from the scale house is

discharged to a leachfield. A 1,000 gallon septic tank and 1,000 gallon per day (gpd) leachfield serve this

area.

Refer to Tabs 8.5 and 8.6 for figures presenting the employee facilities.

4.5 Equipment

Equipment utilized at the Apex Regional Landfill is maintained on site at the maintenance facility. The

maintenance building is 22,000 square feet and houses parts, equipment maintenance bays

administrative offices and employee facilities (restrooms, etc.). Drawings presenting the maintenance

building are provided in Tab 8.6.

Pictures of representative pieces of equipment and their associated identification numbers are presented

in Tab 10.2.

4.6 Facility Access

4.6.1 Access Control

The Apex Regional Landfill is an isolated site. This isolation assists in keeping unauthorized vehicular

traffic away from the landfill. There is only one entrance to the site and it is controlled by personnel at the

scale house. Visitors must check in at the scale house prior to entering the site. The natural topographic

barriers around the site prevent access to the landfill other than through the front gate. An attendant is on

duty 24 hours a day at the scale house to control access to the facility.

4.6.2 Access Roads

Primary access to the site is via a paved frontage road from the Highway 93 and Interstate 15

interchange. The access road to the entrance of the facility was constructed by Republic and extends

from the lnterstate 15 frontage road north approximately ¼ of a mile where it then turns east into the site.

The roadway is 35-feet wide with 5.5-foot wide shoulders. Culverts and grade dips are located at natural

drainages to control storm water and provide all-weather access. Beyond the entrance, the main site

access road is paved to the maintenance building and landfill area.




Access to the current refuse disposal area, MA-East, is provided by two paved and gravel-packed roads.

One road traverses the existing refuse slopes to provide access to the top deck area of the landfill while

the second road extends around the perimeter of the existing refuse disposal areas providing access to

the lower reaches of the landfill. These roads will be extended and maintained over time to provide this

dual access to the site.

The current and future roads will be a minimum of 30 feet wide to allow for two-way traffic. The slope of

the roads may vary from less than 1 to 9 percent to conform to the proposed excavation and fill grades.

Road cross slope will be 2 percent to the toe of slope to promote runoff from the road surface. All roads

used for refuse hauling trucks are constructed and maintained to provide an all-weather surface. Because

the landfill is in continuous flux with new areas being developed for refuse disposal operations, new roads

will be constructed to the criteria set forth above to maintain appropriate access to the site.

Location of the current access roads is shown in Tab 8.7, Figure 7.

4.7 Facility Capacities

The site as designed has an overall fillspace capacity of 865,000,000 cubic yards (cy) from the top of the

operations layer to the bottom of final cover. This fillspace is the volume between the design base grades

and the design final grades for the site excluding the volume taken by the base liner and final cover

quantities. Using a refuse to daily and intermediate cover soil ratio of nine parts refuse to one part soil,

approximately 778,500,000 cy of refuse will be placed to reach final grade. Approximately 57,241,194 cy

of airspace has been consumed as of March 17, 2013, leaving a remaining airspace of 807,758,806 cy.

Based on the current incoming waste stream of 8,491 tons per day and a density of 2,816 lbs/cy, the site

life is estimated to be 468.3 years once the remaining airspace is corrected for base liner and final cover

quantities. The information used to determine the in place airspace utilized to date and the calculation of

the remaining airspace is provided in Tab 13.

The initial Design Capacity Report was prepared by Vector in 1993. The drawings prepared by Vector and

used to determine the initial design capacity of the site are provided in Tab 12.

Other site capacities include:

8,000 sf H2S removal building

2,500 gallon septic tank and 2,250 gpd leachfield with distribution box and dosing tank for the maintenance building

2,000 gallon sand-oil separator, stored in a 5,000 gallon holding tank for the truck wash area

1,000 gallon septic tank and 1,000 gallon per day (gpd) leachfield serve this area for the scale house

two 22,500 gallon leachate storage tanks located near the H2S removal building




three 6,500 gallon leachate storage tanks located at the northeast corner of MA–10 with 21,500 gallons of secondary containment available

daily maximum of 499,000 gallons for the bioremediation facility in soil solidification area combined

4.8 Litter Control

Generation of windblown debris at the active working face is a common occurrence at solid waste

landfills. Windblown debris commonly consists of lightweight waste materials blown from the active

working area. It may be generated during the physical unloading of waste from haul vehicles or during

placement. When wind speeds become excessive, debris may be blown from the active area and carried

to other parts of the facility. As wind speeds increase, the quantity of windblown debris in the area may

correspondingly increase.

Climatological data from the site indicates the wind direction at the Apex Regional Landfill is commonly

from the northeast and from the southwest. Permanent and portable litter control fences are positioned

near the active working face in positions consistent with wind direction in order to contain windblown

debris. Debris that is not contained by the litter fences is hand-picked by a staff of Republic employees.

The collection of windblown litter around the site is staffed up and down depending on conditions and

effectiveness of the fences.

The majority of refuse hauling vehicles come to the site utilizing Interstate 15. As such, the stretch of

Interstate 15 from the City of Las Vegas to the landfill undergoes a degree of pollution from windblown

litter that escapes from haul trucks on their way to the landfill. As such, Republic has a program in place

with Adopt a Highway that provides personnel to collect litter from the Interstate 15 ten miles south on the

north side and seven miles on the south side of the Interstate from the landfill to the City of Las Vegas.

4.9 Odor Control

Republic operates the landfill in a manner that minimizes the creation of odors, unsightliness, or other

nuisances. Waste is placed in controlled compacted layers and cover is placed over the top and

sideslopes of completed lifts. The solid wastes are spread and compacted in thin layers, not to exceed

two feet in thickness. Due to the 24-hour operating condition at the site, the active refuse area is

continually covered with incoming waste. Perimeter intermediate slopes created around the active refuse

area are covered with soil or approved alternative daily cover to control odors. This continual filling

operation allows for any waste that may be an odor nuisance to be immediately covered. If odors persist,

soil is placed and compacted over the area to eliminate the nuisance.

The active landfill gas collection system on site also is used to control odors on site. The current landfill

gas system is discussed in section 4.14.2 and presented in Tab 15.




4.10 Public Areas

4.10.1 Buffer Zones

A site plan showing the site and surrounding areas is presented in Tab 8.8, Figure 8.8.

A survey of the area surrounding the Apex Regional Landfill, documented on the World Aeronautical

Chart, CG - 18, 23rd Edition May 27, 1993, indicates that the nearest airport runway is at the Nellis Air

Force Base located approximately 13 miles southwest of the site. Therefore, the landfill does not fall

within the 10,000-foot airport safety requirement for the airstrip; thus satisfying the airport location

restrictions as posed by 444.6783.

The next nearest airport runway is located at Clark County General Aviation Administration, North Las

Vegas Terminal, 2772 North Rancho Drive, Las Vegas. Past communications with this air terminal

indicate that it services primarily piston-type aircraft with very few small jet aircraft entering the terminal.

The air terminal is located 22 miles to the southwest of the landfill, well outside of the 5,000- and 10,000-

foot requirements.

Other airports identified in the region are located in Overton, 27 miles to the northeast and in Glendale, 23

miles to the north. The Overton airpark service’s small piston type aircraft and also falls outside the 5,000-

foot requirement. The Glendale Airport serves as an emergency landing strip for small aircraft.

Section 444.686 (5) requires that solid waste must not be placed within 200 feet of the boundary line of a

Class I or Class III site unless the appropriate regulatory agency approves a smaller distance. A minimum

50-foot setback has been approved by the SNHD for the industrial area and for all sides of the MA-East

portion of Apex Landfill, refer to Tab 10.4 for the June 23, 2003 setback approval letter from the SNHD. A

minimum 50-foot offset will be used for the remainder of the site development in accordance the June 23,

2003 letter, refer to Tab 14, Figure 1 for the proposed final grading plan.

4.10.2 Esthetics

Although the landfill is within 1,000 feet of a public highway, the final cover system is not proposed for

revegetation at closure, the landfill cover will promote natural vegetation to allow the site to blend in with

surrounding topography and visual landscapes. No irrigation of vegetation is planned for the site.

4.10.3 Zoning

On July 26, 1993, Republic submitted Zone Change Application No. ZC-1264-93, Conditional Use Permit

Application No. UC-1266-93, and Variance Application No. VC-1266-93 to the Clark County Department

of Comprehensive Planning, Zoning Division. The zoning is M-2 (Industrial) to for Assessor's Parcel

numbers 103-13-000-003, 103-13-000-005, 103-13-000-006, 103-13-000-008, 103-24-000-004, 104-07-

000-003, 104-07-000-005, 104-18-000-001, 104-18-000-002, 104-18-000-003, 104-19-000-001, 104-19-




000-002, 104-19-000-003, and 104-20-000-001. The applications are consistent with the proposed heavy

industry use project as proposed by the County Department of Comprehensive Planning in January 1989.

The conditional use permit applications included a landfill for disposal of municipal solid waste, including

industrial waste, with soil borrow areas adjacent to Interstate 15.

A site location map showing the general location of the Apex Regional Landfill is presented in Tab 10.1

and a zoning map in included in Tab 10.5, Figure 10-1. Areas immediately east, north, and south to

Apex’s MA-East area are managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Areas northwest and

southwest of the main Apex Regional Landfill within a mile radius are zoned and M-2 (Industrial) and OS

(open space).

4.11 Traffic Control

The site is accessed off of Interstate 15 at the intersection of U.S. Highway 93. A frontage road to the

east of Interstate 15 leads to the site entrance and scale facilities. Once through the scale facilities the

access road travels to the east beneath the railroad tracks and to the active disposal area.

Figures 1 in Tab 8.1 presents the current signage plan and Figure 1 in Tab 8.7 presents the current traffic

flow plan for the site. This basic flow pattern will be used for the remainder of filling within MA-East,

approximately 20 years.

Traffic is predominantly controlled on site through the use of signs. After trucks and/or visitors enter the

site at the scale house, a timed stop light allows one-way traffic through an underpass below the railroad

tracks that cross over the main access road. Once a green light allows one-way traffic to proceed through

the underpass, the paved access road widens to allow for two way traffic after the underpass and

throughout the site. Traffic heads east into the site until the maintenance area is reached where a side

road continues to the east to access the maintenance facility and employee parking area while the main

access road turns to the south. Approximately after ¼ mile, the main access road splits into two access

roads. One road traverses the west and south slopes of the existing landfill while the other extends

around the perimeter of the existing disposal area. These two roads provide access to the upper and

lower refuse disposal areas respectively. These roads are posted with speed limits, stop signs and other

traffic control signs as necessary to provide safe traffic control for the site.

Because the site is ever changing due to the ongoing refuse disposal operations at the site, road

locations are revised to accommodate the changing topography. As changes are made, traffic controls

are updated as necessary to provide a safe working environment.




The use of dual access roads is planned to be used throughout the life of the landfill. This plan allows for

one road to be shut down while still providing accessible refuse disposal areas. Roads may be closed due

to maintenance needs, relocation or unforeseen occurrences.

4.12 Vector Control

The combination of routine crushing, compaction and covering of the wastes and the climatic conditions

at the site effectively eliminate the potential for insect and rodent problems, which can be carriers

(vectors) of disease.

A designated area at the landfill is provided for public drop-off of dead animals, carrion, slaughterhouse

wastes, and other putrescible wastes. The animals are placed in the designated area in the Class I landfill

and covered with 36 inches of cover material. Republic controls vectors according to NAC 444.6678.

4.13 Waste Measurement

Trucks delivering solid waste to the site are weighed or measured at the scale house before they enter

the landfill. Transfer trucks are weighed before entering and again before leaving the landfill to determine

the weight of waste received from the transfer stations. For other trucks, the waste is measured

volumetrically and the weight estimated using assumed densities for various types of. Over the past five

years the waste inflow to the site has varied greatly from a peak of approximately 13,000 tons per day to

a low of approximately 7,000 tons per day.

Waste is tracked to determine the specific amounts of each type going into the landfill. The types of waste

that are recorded are presented below:

Small Animals

Large Animals

Appliances

Solid Waste – Trash

Solid Waste by Ton

Demo Dirt, Concrete, Rock

Demo Dirt, Concrete, Rock by Ton

Mattress Set

Public Sludge

Septic Waste

Non-Septic Waste

Special Handling

Tipping Fee

Medical Waste




Wood Recycle

Asbestos

Industrial

Off spec materials

Disposal and waste handling procedures for special waste are presented in Tabs 10.7 and 10.11. No

hazardous waste is accepted for disposal at the landfill.

Topographic maps and other surveys are used to determine the volume of waste placed and the amount

of soil used at the landfill. These records are maintained at the site.

4.14 Waste Processing

4.14.1 Landfill Covers

The proposed alternative cover system design for the landfill consists of an evapotranspirative cover

system composed of on-site soils and 4 feet in thickness. The depth of soil cover may be increased in

some areas, like benches, to allow for the installation of drainage improvements. The cover system

meets the regulatory standard established in NAC 444.6891.

Currently, Republic has a contract in place with a private developer to excavate and process soils to

create construction aggregates from within the landfill footprint for off-site sale. Cover material is currently

processed through this operation. However, depending on the quality of the limestone within a planned

refuse disposal cell, the material may or may not be excavated as part of the ongoing third party quarry

operations at the site. If cover material is not generated within the quarry operation, soil will be obtained

from within the landfill footprint in adjacent cells.

Soil required for cell construction will generally be taken from the quarry operations that process the soils

to the correct gradations for use. Processed soils are typically silty sand and gravels that have proven

effective as soil cover. The soil requirements for the planned site development are summarized below.

excavation is the total excavation from the module construction. The above table does not account for

expansion or contraction of the soil from in-place bank yards to stockpiled or recompacted yards. If

additional soils are needed, they may be obtained from the on-site sand and gravel operations. The

approximate 100,000,000 cy surplus is assumed to be sold off site as aggregate during the life of the

landfill.

The Final Grading Plan, Tab 14 Figure 1, shows final slopes. No areas of the landfill have been closed to

date.

4.14.1.1 Operational Elements of Cover

4.14.1.1.1 Cover at Continuously Operating Landfills

Apex Regional Landfill operates 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. 155,250 square feet is the approved

open face area that the landfill is restricted to. This approved area allows for safe operations and the

ability to segregate the public from the commercial haulers.

Waste is placed in lifts over an active area of the landfill, and as the tipping floor (i.e. area receiving

waste) moves laterally, cover soil or approved alternative daily cover is placed over the final or

intermediate slopes and top. The soil cover creates a stable floor for vehicular traffic and tipping

operations. As an area is filled with a completed lift, a new lift is begun on top of the old lift. Soil that was

previously used as cover is removed, to the extent possible, to reduce the amount of soil within the landfill

and remove any barriers to the downward migration of liquids. If these soil barriers are not removed,

leachate can move laterally to the exposed slopes. Areas that are not actively receiving waste remain

covered with soil. Continuous waste placement satisfies the requirements for control of disease vectors,

fires, odors, blowing litter, scavenging, and presents no danger to public health or the environment. The

operations described above are currently approved by the SNHD. Based on inspections by the SNHD,

the continuous waste placement operations for control of vectors will be assessed. If additional operating

criteria or revisions to the existing operations are identified to increase the control of vectors, Republic will

work with SNHD to implement additional controls or revise operations as necessary.

Republic is requesting that interim refuse slopes used for waste unloading be constructed with a minimum

slope of one percent, refer to variance request in Tab 10.17, all final slopes will have a minimum of 3%.

The requested one percent slopes facilitate the safe operation of tippers (hydraulic systems that empty

transfer trucks by raising the front end of the transfer trailer to an approximate 45 degree angle with the

ground surface). Slopes steeper than one percent can create dangerous situation where the tippers,

when extended, can become unstable. Utilizing a one percent slope reduces this potential significantly

while still maintaining surface water runoff control.




The master development design, geological investigation and operating experience have confirmed the

adequacy and availability of soil for use in the landfill operations. Cover soils have been obtained from

the blasting excavation, crushing, and screening operations on site since operations began.

4.14.1.1.2 Alternative Materials

Currently, soil is used as cover. In addition to soil, Republic is requesting authorization to use the

following Alternative Materials for cover in the future:

Synthetic liner materials

Spray-on or spread-on binder materials sold in the industry as alternatives to dirt cover

Treated Auto Shredder Waste

Non-Putrescible C&D Material

Processed wood

Material Recovery Facility Fines

Imported Soil

Solidified Septic Liquid Waste

Crushed or Ground Concrete

Greenwaste

When one of the alternative materials proposed for cover is to be utilized by Republic, specific information

regarding the material and its use will be submitted to SNHD prior to implementation.

Based on inspections by the SNHD, the continuous waste placement operations for control of vectors will

be assessed. If additional operating criteria or revisions to the existing operations are identified to

increase the control of vectors, Republic will work with SNHD to implement additional controls or revise

operations as necessary.

4.14.1.1.3 Waiver

A waiver of cover requirements is not requested at this time, but Republic reserves the right to seek a

waiver in case of extreme conditions. The waiver being requested for the interim one percent slopes is

provided in Tab 10.17

4.14.1.1.4 Interim Cover

A minimum of 12 inches of soil will be in place to function as intermediate cover over areas that will not

receive waste for more than 90 days.

4.14.1.1.5 Integrity of Daily and Intermediate Cover

Cover in operating areas is monitored and deficient areas are repaired immediately.




4.14.1.1.6 Grade Daily and Temporary Cover

Republic is requesting that interim refuse slopes used for unloading of waste be constructed with a

minimum slope of one percent refer to section 4.15.1.1.3. The requested one percent slopes facilitate the

safe operation of tippers (hydraulic systems that empty transfer trucks by raising the front end of the

transfer trailer to an approximate 45 degree angle with the ground surface). Slopes steeper than one

percent can create dangerous situation where the tippers, when extended, can become unstable. Utilizing

a one percent slope reduces this potential significantly while still maintaining surface water runoff control.

All final slopes will have a minimum slope of 3%.

4.14.1.1.7 Operating Day

“Continuous operation” means that at all times throughout each 24-hour period:

1) Waste is being received, placed, spread or compacted on the working surface of the site; and

2) At least one piece of heavy equipment is operating on the working surface of the site to spread or

compact the waste.

A request for approval of current operating procedures was made by Republic to the SNHD on November

1, 1999 and was subsequently approved.

4.14.2 Landfill Gas Control

LFG is drawn from vertical and horizontal wells up to 300 feet deep that tie into a header system that

conveys the LFG to the H2S removal system treat sulfur content. The LFG collection system consists of

vertical wells drilled through the waste and horizontal collectors that are installed during waste placement.

These collection systems are maintained under vacuum from a blower to convey the LFG to the

appropriate control technology. The vertical well and horizontal collectors are monitored monthly for flow

rate, temperature and methane content to determine the effectiveness of the extraction systems. From

the data collected, adjustments are made to the collection system to optimize collection.

The H2S facility is an enclosed building approximately 8,000 square feet equipped with H2S removal

equipment that is used to pretreat the LFG prior to combustion in turbines used to create electricity. The

elemental sulfur collected in the process will either be disposed of in the landfill or sold as a product

The electricity plant, located on 1.5 acres in the southwestern corner of the site, uses the treated LFG to

fuel two Solar Centaur 60 combustion turbines manufactured by Solar Turbines, a subsidiary of

Caterpillar Inc. LFG from the H2S treatment facility is filtered for moisture and particulates then is

compressed and injected into 5.5-megawatt air-cooled turbines that generate electricity. Emissions are

treated by a selective catalytic reduction process that removes harmful nitrogen oxides from the exhaust

plume.




As the landfill continues to expand, the energy production facility will also expand. The LFG flare is still in

place and is used for emergencies or to combust LFG collected beyond the capacity of the engines. All

LFG that is collected for disposal is permitted under Federal New Source Performance Standards.

Construction and operations of any control facility will have all proper local, state and federal permits prior

to operation.

Methane monitoring meters are located in the scalehouse, operations trailer, and the site operations

building. The combustible gas monitors are manufactured by Sierra Monitor Corporation. The H2S facility

also has a methane monitoring mere that is a sophisticated system is connected with the fire suppression

system. According to EPA's RCRA regulations, owners and operators of landfills subject to monitoring

requirements must ensure that the concentration of methane gas does not exceed 25% of the LEL for

methane (1.25% by volume) in indoor air samples collected in the facilities' structures.

4.14.2.1 Composting

Composting may be proposed for the site in the future. If proposed, a supplemental plan will be prepared

and submitted for review and approval prior to composting operations beginning.

4.14.3 Process Flow

currently located south of the active disposal area.




4.15 Water Protection

4.15.1 Industrial Waste Drainage Control

The site operates a bioremediation facility and a liquid solidification area at the site permitted under the

Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NEV93011); refer to Tab 3.10. This permit authorizes the

site to treat non-hazardous petroleum contaminated liquids through the bioremediation facility and

nonhazardous and non-petroleum contaminated liquids through the liquid solidification area. The permit

also allows for disposal of petroleum contaminated soils. Treated material is disposed in the Apex Landfill.

The permit for this facility requires containment of the 25-yr, 24-hour storm and must be able to withstand

the 100-yr, 24-hour storm event. The facility has been designed to meet these standards. The facility is

operated to control odors and is maintained in good working order.

Petroleum contaminated waste water that is brought on site for disposal at the bioremediation facility is

discharged into one of ten double lined (second liner provides secondary containment) evaporation

ponds. The ponds are considered one continuous unit because the liner system is continuous throughout

the pond area with earthen berms separating the individual cells beneath the liner system. Petroleum

contaminated waste water disposed of is evaporated and any residuals are disposed of within the landfill.

The bioremediation facility encompasses approximately 7.5 acres and is located north of the

administration/maintenance building.

The liquid solidification area treats nonhazardous and nonpetroleum liquid wastes. These wastes are

deposited on a mixing floor and soil, sawdust, or other nonhazardous materials are mixed with the liquids

to reduce the moisture content. Once the moisture content is below 50% the resulting mixture is disposed

of in the landfill. The liquid solidification area is located south of MA 21, refer to figure 6 and Tab 8.6.

The Apex Regional Landfill maintains the following permits/authorizations, copies of which are available in

Tab 3, relating to industrial waste drainage:

Non Transient Non Community Groundwater Water System – From the Division of Environmental Protection Bureau of Safe Drinking Water. Permit #CL-0379-12NTNC

The Landfill is authorized by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection to operate the Apex Bioremediation Facility for the treatment of non-hazardous petroleum contaminated soil and water, Permit Number NEV93011. Treated material is disposed of or used for cover in Apex Landfill

The Landfill is also authorized by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection to operate leachate holding tanks, Permit Number NEV2011510

Bureau of Water Pollution Control Permit Number NEV95010 – Groundwater Permit for the Apex Maintenance Building and Scale House. For treatment of wastewater from washing vehicles and the building interior; the Scale House septic system leachfield; and Maintenance building septic system leachfield




4.15.2 Leachate Control

Tab 16.1 presents the asbuilt and proposed base grades for the landfill along with the existing and

proposed leachate collection and removal system. Tab 16.3 contains the Operations and Maintenance

Manual for On-Site Storage Tanks that presents the leachate pumping and storage system for the entire

site. The asbuilt base grades were taken from the Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) Reports

prepared for each module that have been constructed and compiled into one drawing. Each of the CQA

Reports was stamped by a Nevada registered engineer certifying that they were constructed in

conformance with the approved construction plans and specifications.

Leachate drains through the Select Fill layer across the floor of the landfill on top of the geomembrane

liner until it intercepts collection trenches. These trenches consist of one foot deep v-ditches filled with

highly permeable drainage gravel that surrounds a perforated HPDE pipe. These v-ditches with the pipe

and surrounding gravel are sloped to convey leachate to dedicated sumps for extraction. Material

properties for the Select Fill and Gravel Fill are specified in the technical specifications for each cells

design. Soil permeability and pipe spacing are designed to limit leachate build-up over the geomembrane

below one foot. Minimum base slopes are 2 percent with a minimum 2 percent slope along drainage pipe

segments. Two existing sumps area located in MA-7 and MA-10, however leachate collected in the MA-

10 sump gravity drains to the MA-7 sump for extraction. Sumps are also proposed in the future MA-12

area and in MA-14 in the southeast corner of MA-East.

MA-0 through MA- 5 drain to a leachate tank in the northwest corner of MA-0 and will drain to the sump

in MA-26 once constructed. Leachate from this tank is pumped to the two 22,500 gallon tanks located

north of H2S facility. Leachate from these tanks is used for dust control or pumped to the solidification

ponds for evaporation.

Cell MA-21 gravity drains to a dedicated sump within the cell. Water trucks evacuate the leachate from

this sump daily and use it as dust control.

Leachate collected in the MA-7 sump (MA– 6 through MA–10) is currently pumped to three 6,500 gallon

tanks with secondary containment located near the northwest corner of MA-10. Water trucks evacuate the

tanks on a consistent basis and use it as dust control. In the future, a solar powered automatic pumping

system will be used to pump the leachate to the tanks located in the Northeast corner of MA–10. A gravity

outlet pipe from the tanks enables water pulls or water trucks to load the leachate from overhead for use

as dust control on site. The tank area and loading area has been constructed with secondary containment

consisting of an HDPE geomembrane covered with an appropriate amount of soil to protect it from

damage. An HDPE pipe will is booted through the secondary containment liner and connected to the

LCRS riser pipe in the northeast corner of MA-10. This provides a gravity drainage point for any leaked or

spilled leachate in the tank storage area. Refer to Tab 16, Drawings 1-4. The current and future pumps




are and will be actuated with pressure transducers that are set to turn the pump on when the sump is

filled to a point where the head over the liner is just below one foot.

Leachate generated within the previously permitted Class III IA – 1, 2 gravity flows into the Class I MA –

21 leachate collection system. The liner systems of these two areas were connected during the

construction of MA – 21.

Other sumps are planned for MA-20, MA-27, MA-28-29, MA-30-31, MA-32 and two sumps in MA-north for

a total of 12 sumps for the entire site at closure.

The Apex Regional Landfill is not located within 1,000 feet of any naturally occurring surface water.

Based on the hydrogeologic investigations performed at the site by Vector Engineering and groundwater

monitoring well information, the uppermost aquifer ranges from 400 to 500 feet below ground surface

(Design Report, Vector Engineering, March 1997). The Apex Regional Landfill satisfies both the distance

to surface water and the uppermost aquifer requirements.

New solid waste landfill units must meet the Design Criteria of NAC 444.681 that requires a composite

liner or "a design approved by the solid waste management authority that is sufficient to protect the

waters of the State from degradation by pollutants or contaminates." A design consisting of a

geomembrane over a 6-inch thick bedding layer was approved by the Southern Nevada District Board of

Health on March 22, 1994. This same approval allowed for no liner to be placed on slopes 2:1 or steeper.

As required by NAC 444.681(2) the approval was based on the consideration of hydrogeologic

characteristics, climate and leachate characteristics.

The hydrogeologic characteristics and climate remain unchanged from the original alternative liner

demonstration. Now that the landfill has been operating for over 18 years, the amount of leachate

collected has been updated. The leachate production averages approximately 40 to 50 gallons per acre

per day (gpad). This average is sometimes exceeded during the winter months when heavy storms

infiltrate into the LCRS of partially filled cells. This condition is not common and is not an indication of

average leachate flows at the site. Based on the leakage evaluation methods presented by Vector, this

amount of leachate can still be considered negligible in the landfill and is anticipated to decrease over

time and cells are brought to final grade and closed. Based on the earlier Vector evaluation, updated site

information, and approval from the SNHD the previously approved alternative liner has been used for all

of MA-East cells constructed to date.

A copy of the Leachate Management Plan is presented in Tab 16.4.




4.15.3 Run-On and Run-Off Control

Stormwater controls are designed as cells are constructed and final grades are achieved at the landfill. A

master drainage plan that calculates flows and sizes pipes and ditches has not been completed to date

due to the service life of the landfill, estimated at greater than 200 years, and the potential for changes to

take place to the landfill configuration over the next 50 to 100 years. The current active area, MA-East,

storm water control system has been designed to discharge storm water flow from the southern facing

slope into the southern retention basins. All storm water that will fall on the northern slopes of MA-East

will be collected and discharge to the wash area to the north of the landfill.

Stormwater retention basins are also planned for the southern limit of the landfill along MA-27 and MA-28.

These basins would function in the same manner as the permitted MA-East basins. These basins are

planned to be designed and permitted as the site develops over time.

The MA-South, MA-West and MA-North areas planned for refuse disposal are planned to be constructed

with 3:1 (horizontal to vertical) slopes with 20-foot wide benches placed every 50 vertical feet or as

needed for access and to limit erosion. The benches will convey storm water to dedicated pipe

downdrains. These downdrains will transport the storm water down the slopes to the base of the landfill

and discharge it to a perimeter storm water control ditch located along the perimeter access road.

Stormwater will travel in dedicated ditches along the perimeter access road to low points where it will

discharge to natural drainage ways surrounding the site. The size and type of ditch lining will be

determined as the site expands. Refer to Tab 8.13, Figure 13 and 14 for the current and proposed storm

water drainage plan for the site respectively. As the site develops a new disposal areas are constructed

updated drainage plans will be submitted to the SNHD for review and approval at the time the design

plans are submitted.

4.15.3.1 Permitted Retention Basins

The permitted retention basins located along the southern perimeter of MA-East have been designed

utilizing the Army Corp of Engineers, HEC-HMS modeling program. The basins were sized to

accommodate the flow from a 500-yr, 24-hr storm event followed by a 25-yr, 24-hr storm event. This

conservative design criterion was selected to eliminate the need for permanent spillways. It should also

be noted that once the waste in the MA-East area is filled above the top of the retention basin berm, there

is no potential for overflow from the basin areas even from a Probable Maximum Precipitation event. Dam

permits are included in Tab 3.9.

4.15.3.2 Design Storm

The procedures listed in the Clark County Regional Flood Control District (CCRFCD) Hydrologic Criteria

and Drainage Design Manual (August 1999) have been used to determine the appropriate design storm

depth and distribution for the design of drainage structures at the Apex Regional Landfill. The basis for




hydrological analysis of the proposed design storm is the durations and frequencies of storms as listed in

the Precipitation Frequency Atlas of the Western United States - Volume VII-Nevada as required by NAC

444.6885, with an adjustment required by CCRFCD to account for more recent storm data. However, the

design storm was modified slightly following procedures developed for the nearby Sunrise Mountain

Landfill in Las Vegas, Nevada (EMCON, 1999). This modification effectively increases the intensities of

shorter duration intervals within the storm, while maintaining the design storm depth.

The Army Corps of Engineers HEC-HMS precipitation model, a widely accepted standard for hydrological

modeling, uses the precipitation depths stated in the table below to simulate the 25-year and 500-year

storms. The 25-year storm is used to size drainage improvements per NAC regulations. The 500-year

storm was used to size the retention basins. The table also compares the design storm to maximum

precipitation depths observed in the Las Vegas vicinity.

4.15.3.3 Detention Basin

The primary run-on controls for MA-East are the detention basins south of the landfill area. Shaw

Environmental Inc. (Shaw) designed two retention basins to accommodate a 500-year, 24-hour storm

followed by a 25-year, 24-hour storm. These retention basins have been designed to accommodate both

run-on from off-site areas and run-off from the south side of the landfill. Both retention basins are located

at the toe of the south side of the landfill and both basins take advantage of the existing contours to

reduce the amount of excavation and earthfill. No earthwork is required outside the property boundaries

of the Apex landfill.

The retention basins were configured so that the initial storage was set to zero (empty), storage

capacities were entered for elevations every 10 feet, and the outflow was specified to be zero (no outlet).

In the case of the 500-year storm followed by the 25-year storm, the final storage in the retention basin

due to the 500-year storm was entered as the initial storage of the retention basin, and the model was




then re-run for a 25-year storm. No reduction in the stored volume due to evaporation or percolation from

the ponded water was included in the analysis.

The western retention basin has a storage capacity of 25.3 acre-feet (ac-ft), and the eastern basin has a

storage capacity of 278.7 ac-ft. Available capacities were determined based on criteria to maintain the

water surface below the perimeter road at the top of the berm. Under the 25-year storm event, the peak

storage for the western and eastern basins is 3.19 ac-ft and 74 ac-ft, respectively. For the worst case

500-year plus 25-year event, the peak storage is 10.3 ac-ft and 239.7 ac-ft; still below the ultimate basin

capacities. The earthfill berm along the south side of the landfill effectively creates basins large enough

to contain run-on from the worst-case design event.

The complete design of the basins is included in the “Submittal of Dam Application for Review by the

State of Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources,” Shaw (February 13, 2007).

Future basins are proposed to be designed with similar design criteria and will be approved by the State

of Nevada Division of Water Resources.

Once refuse is placed in the area between IA-1/2 and MA-21, a depression will be created that will not

have an outlet. To remedy this situation, a plan for regrading this area has been developed to raise the

grades in the immediate area by placing earthfill and forcing the storm water that falls in this area to flow

to the existing retention basin to the east, Refer to Figure 10-3 in Tab 10.6. This grading will be completed

once the refuse slopes are in place and final cover is installed over the slopes.

4.15.4 Water Monitoring

Tab 17.1 includes a drawing which shows the location of groundwater monitoring wells and associated

boring logs. The groundwater monitoring program at the Apex Regional Landfill was established in

accordance with NAC 444.683 for Class I sites and incorporate the requirements of NAC 444.741 for

Class III sites. A copy of the approved groundwater monitoring plan is included in Tab 17.2.

The groundwater monitoring system at the Apex Regional Landfill consists of four wells permitted as

active production wells located and screened to provide groundwater samples from the uppermost water-

producing horizon.

One upgradient well (Well #6) is located at the south-central boundary of the landfill; two downgradient

wells (currently Wells #2 and #7) are located at the northern boundary of the existing waste fill, and one

farther downgradient (Well #5) at the northern limit of the landfill. Refer to Tab 17 for the location of the

wells and logs presenting the construction of the wells. The northerly groundwater gradient for the landfill

area is coincident with the regional flow direction. Based on the site hydrogeologic information acquired

during drilling, it is expected that water is sampled from fractured bedrock. The "aquifer" is a water-




bearing structural zone, probably hosted by limestone. Thickness of this producing zone is approximated

to range from 30 to 100 feet. Monitoring well yields range from 5 to 200 gallons per minute (gpm). Static

water levels are at depths greater than 450 feet, and, currently, the production zones sampled are at

depths greater than 700 feet. However, sampling intervals in all wells coincide with the uppermost

"aquifer" encountered.

Based on the available data, the four wells encounter the same source of water, regardless of the depth

below surface at which the first water-bearing zones were encountered. The shallowest water-bearing

zone in each well that produced usable quantities of water was screened and sampled. Because of this,

screened intervals are not at the same depth in upgradient and downgradient wells.

Samples are taken semiannually for testing and reports are submitted to the SNHD semiannually.
