The Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers (Corps) received an application from Johnston County seeking Department of the Army authorization to discharge dredged or fill material into waters of the United States, associated with the expansion of the existing municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill within the existing Johnston County Landfill. The Johnston County Landfill is located on a 1,153 acre parcel of land of which only 529.4 acres are within the approved Solid Waste Facility Boundary and available for use as a landfill (see Figure 4). The proposed project expands the existing facility through the construction of phases 6 through 10 of the MSW landfill. The proposed project site is located north of NC Highway 210, on both sides of County Home Road, west of the City of Smithfield, Johnston County, North Carolina.
