MEMORANDUM
To: John Dorney
401 /Wetlands Unit
NC Division of Water Quality
From: Brian Card, P.E. ?f
Regional Engineer
Chambers Development of North Carolina, Inc.
Date: May 14, 1999
Subject: Anson County Solid Waste Management Facility
COE Action ID No. 199800592; DWQ No.
This memorandum will serve as a response to your memorandum dated May 7, 1999,
received by Chambers Development of North Carolina, Inc. (Chambers) via e-mail from Cindy
Bell on May 10, 1999. We anticipate the discussion and hopeful resolution of these matters at
the scheduled meeting on Friday, May 14, 1999. We have organized our response by repeating
your comment followed by our response.
1. Stream mitigation plan - the applicant should provide evidence that the proposed stream
mitigation site will produce a stable channel. This should include geomorphic measurements
from a reference reach of stream in the project vicinity as well as the proposed mitigation
area. They should discuss how they arrived at the proposed geometry, anticipated hydrology
during high and low flows, and how they arrived at the placement of structures in and
adjacent to the stream for bank stabilization. For example, the plan drawings show "brush
piles" at several locations above the stream banks, but does not provide details on materials,
dimensions or maintenance. What is the purpose of placing these piles, and how would they
enhance stream stability? Also, a forested 50-foot buffer must be created on each side of the
new stream. The applicant should provide a construction schedule for the mitigation area,
and is advised that DWQ will condition the 401 Certification to require concurrent
construction of the landfill and mitigation site to the maximum extent practical. The
monitoring plan should include details of data to be taken, including physical measurements,
biological assessment, flow rates, and water chemistry. This information should be used to
determine if landfill operations are degrading streams flowing offsite, such as Brown Creek
in the Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge.
Response: The stream mitigation has been designed to provide stability as well as control
erosion. These measures include the incorporation of the coconut fiber mat along the
entire length of stream bottom and sideslopes. Although it would be less expensive to only
l
line the stream bottom, Chambers has :proposed to incorporate the mat along all of the
sideslopes. Additionally, coconut fiber logs have been incorporated into the design to
further limit erosion and trap sediments around the bends of the stream channel. The
3H:1V sideslopes will provide a more stable medium for the establishment of annual
grasses and wetland vegetation specified in the Stream and Wetland Mitigation Plan. It is
noted that the current sideslopes adjacent to the perennial portion of the stream to be
impacted are nearly vertical, are undercut in many places and are highly eroded. The
measures proposed in the mitigation plan will provide increased stability while returning
the stream to a more natural configuration. A 4-foot stream bottom width was used to }
design the stream channel. This width is equal to or slightly larger than the average width
of the stream to be impacted. In accordance with applicable regulations, the upgradient
Sediment Basin No. 1 has been designed to handle major storm events, therefore, we do not
anticipate any sudden surges of water through the mitigation area.
The "brush piles" that have been incorporated into the mitigation plan have been placed
adjacent to the created stream to provide cover and nesting habitat for wildlife. They are
not intended to provide stability. Because there will be some selective cutting of trees
within the mitigation area (that is required to open the overstory canopy for wetland plant
growth) and clearing of adjacent areas, the tree cuttings will be used in a beneficial way.
These piles would have otherwise been removed or burned.. The intent of these brush piles was merely to increase the diversity of habitats and provide cover for birds and other
wildlife species. Except for the selective cuttings necessary to enhance the mitigation area
as noted above, Chambers will maintain a forested buffer of at least 50 feet on each side of
the stream.
The construction schedules for the landfill and wetland/stream mitigation will be dictated
by the timing and issuance of the 401, 404, and related landfill permits. To the extent
possible, the construction of the mitigation area will coincide with the construction of the
landfill. While the actual construction activities can occur simultaneously, the timing of the
actual wetland plantings may need to be staggered. To increase plant survivability, it is LI/
more desirable to plant certain species of wetland vegetation in the early spring and other
species in the fall.
Since Chambers will be monitoring water quality at the outflow of Sediment Basin No. 1
(which is located directly upstream of the mitigation area) as part of the NPDES permit, it
will not be necessary to "reanalyze" water flowing from the mitigation area. However,
during each post construction monitoring period for the stream and wetland mitigation
areas Chambers will collect field measurements of water quality to include pH,
conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. The monitoring plan will also include Gib
actual stream flows, channel widths, the presence of benthic macroinvertebrates within the
stream channel, and the values and functions being provided by both the stream and
wetland mitigation areas. A complete inventory of wetland trees, shrubs, and herbaceous
vegetation will also be included. Lastly, the monitoring reports will discuss, in detail, any
problems encountered within the mitigation area at the time of the inspection and a plan to
correct any deficiencies.

In addition, Chambers has included in the Water Quality Monitoring Plan collection and
monitoring of four locations within Brown Creek and Pinch Gut Creek. These locations
(one upstream and one downstream for each creek) will be used to monitor the creeks for
any potential degrading of water quality potentially caused by the facility.
2. The applicant has provided details on the requirements and restrictions involved in locating a
suitable property for a landfill. It would be helpful if they provided specific evidence that
other sites were considered, and to discuss the selection criteria that led to preference for this
particular site.
Response: The Solid Waste Section (SWS) has promulgated detailed regulations specifying
the siting criteria and location restrictions that apply to municipal solid waste management
facilities. During the site selection process in the early 19901s, Chambers evaluated several
sites in Anson County. Based on the site criteria established by the SWS and the limited
availability of tracts of adequate size for this project, the current site was chosen by
Chambers and subsequently approved by the SWS following significant investigation and
assessment of the site by Chambers. A copy of the SWS letter approving the site is
attached as Exhibit A.
3. Stream and wetland impacts - the applicant should provide evidence that the stream and
wetlands downstream of the landfill footprint will not be impacted by the diversion of flow.
If it is anticipated that stream and wetland hydrology may be affected so that these systems
would be removed from jurisdiction, then mitigation for these impacts should be provided.
The retention pond within the stream mitigation site may help to replace these systems. It is
the applicant's responsibility to provide a discussion of the functions and values of these
systems, and to address how they will be replaced at another site, if necessary.
0?

Response: All surface water that is diverted from the landfill will be collected in one of
three sedimentation basins and allowed to slowly dissipate into the streams. Although not
necessary, the mitigated wetland will provide an additional safeguard against sediment
accumulation to protect downgradient resources.
Landfill development regulations include a requirement of vertical separation between the
landfill liner system and groundwater. With this in mind, the hydrology of the wetlands
along the adjacent streams and in the Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge will not be
impacted. Chambers understands the importance of protecting downgradient resources
and believes that the creation of additional wetland habitat and "meandering" the existing
streams from a narrow, eroded stream channel will only serve to enhance existing habitat
and provide a buffer between the proposed landfill and those resources.
4. Site plan - the plan drawings and application include the footprint of the landfill excavation
area. The applicant is required to show access roads, buildings, parking areas, utility
corridors, wash areas, and any other facilities associated with the landfill, as their location
might affect wetlands and/or streams. Wetland and stream impacts would need to be avoided
3
to the extent practical, and additional mitigation might be necessary. Stormwater treatment
for these other facilities must also be provided onsite. It is also appropriate for the applicant
to address any access roads planned to link with US 74, and driveway agreements made with
DOT. We advise the applicant to consider this issue because DOT's long-term plans to
convert US 74 to an Interstate may restrict the location of the access road, and therefore
affect the location of these roads in relation to wetlands and streams.
Response: A drawing showing all anticipated buildings, roads and other site improvements
associated with the facility as well as the jurisdictional wetlands delineated on the property
by the Corps of Engineers and DWQ is attached as Exhibit B. Chambers' application for a
wetlands permit and corresponding 401 water quality certification and the Stream and
Wetlands Mitigation Plan addresses and compensates for all anticipated impacts to
wetlands associated with the initial and future phases of the facility.
In addition, the Land Quality Section of DENR's Fayetteville Regional office has approved
Chambers' site-specific Erosion and Sedimentation (E&S) Plans. The approved Plans
address the initial phase of the proposed work north of the railroad tracks (73 acres) and
south of the railroad tracks (14.3 acres). With respect to stormwater, the facility also
includes stormwater and sedimentation control measures sufficient to control surface water
run-off and run-on generated from major storm events. To meet these requirements,
stormwater will be directed to sedimentation/retention basins to allow for a controlled
discharge. The design and maintenance protocols for the facility's stormwater and
sediment management systems are described in detail in the E&S Plans and various
sections of the Permit to Construct Application, including 2.1.10, 2.2.1.5, 4.3.7, 4.4.1.2,
4.4.2.3 and 4.4.3.2. These materials have been previously provided to DWQ.
The Site is provided access through a new road linking the site to Highway 74. Chambers
has received all necessary approvals from the Department of Transportation for
construction of the access road. A North Carolina Department of Transportation Street
and Highway Access Permit Application was filed on November 13, 1997 for the crossover
to service the Facility. On April 3, 1998, Benton Payne, P.E. of the NC DOT Division of
Highways, recommended approval for the crossover. Mr. Garland Haywood, P.E. of the
NC DOT, granted final approval on September 28, 1998. Copies of the approval letters are
attached as Exhibits C and D.
5. It is advisable for the applicant to discuss real estate agreements made in the location and
acquisition of this property. Any additional parcels acquired in the process of site
development may be considered as cumulative impacts should they be developed.
Response: See Response to No. 4 above.
6. The applicant should discuss how and where spoil material would be disposed. The 401
Certification will stipulate that any spoil material must be placed in uplands.
as
4
Response: Consistent with federal wetlands law, spoil materials removed during
construction activities will not be placed in wetlands/stream areas on the property. As
described in Section 7.3 of the Stream and Wetlands Mitigation Plan, soils from the 0.49
acres of wetlands to be impacted during construction activities will be removed and
replaced with clean fill. The excavated soils will be used to provide a "seed bank" in the
on-site wetlands mitigation area. Therefore, except as required under the mitigation plan,
all excavated materials will be placed in upland areas.
7. The applicant should discuss how they determined the flow path of groundwater from the
site. Were any models used to predict flow rates and courses? It would also be helpful to
discuss how groundwater will be monitored during use of the landfill, and how problems
would be addressed.
Response: The groundwater in the vicinity of the proposed facility has been evaluated
since 1991 in performance of the site suitability study, which was submitted to the SWS on
May 28, 1992. Extensive additional information has been gathered and evaluated in close
coordination with the SWS since that time. The SWS' siting and permitting regulations
require the applicant to conduct a detailed hydrogeologic investigation of a proposed site to
determine, among other things, "the ground-water flow regime for the area including
ground-water flow paths for both horizontal and vertical components of ground-water
flow, horizontal and vertical gradients, flow rates, ground-water recharge areas and
discharge areas, etc." See 15A NCAC 13B.1623. In addition, the applicant must develop
and implement throughout the life of the facility a Water Quality Monitoring Plan
consistent with the requirements in 15A NCAC 13B.1630-.1637 pertaining to groundwater
monitoring systems, sampling and analytical requirements, detection monitoring,
assessment monitoring, assessment of corrective measures, selection of remedy and
implementation of corrective action programs, if required.
To comply with these regulatory requirements, Chambers has drilled countless borings,
installed numerous monitoring wells and piezometers, and conducted magnometer surveys
in and around the proposed facility. Currently, there are close to 150 monitoring wells and
piezometers on the property. Given this intense level of investigation, Chambers is
confident that the groundwater flow paths on the site have been accurately and fully
documented. A copy of the SWS' approval of Chambers' Design Hydrogeologic Study and
the Water Quality Monitoring Plan is attached as Exhibit E.
8. The applicant can take measures to reduce the amount of flow of wastewater contributed to
the existing sewer lines offsite, particularly during periods of high flows. For example,
equalization basins can be installed onsite, so that material is retained onsite during storm
events, then pumped offsite on dry days. DWQ is open to discussing other methods proposed
by the applicant.
Response: Chambers has received a Permit to Discharge Wastewater under the Industrial
Pretreatment Program from Anson County dated June 24, 1998, attached as Exhibit F.
This permit allows the facility to connect to the municipal sewer system. Pursuant to the
5
permit and current agreement with the County, Chambers' wastewater flow from the solid
waste management facility will be limited to 20,000 gallons per day and Chambers will
release wastewater to the municipal system from the facility only between the hours of
10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., which is the low flow period for the County. In addition, the
Permit to Construct Application details the installation of two 200,000-gallon storage tanks.
These tanks will be used to adequately store any generated wastewater during periods of
increased flow. This material will be released to the County's system during the permitted
times as detailed above. The on-site collection system will allow the facility to regulate its
flow to the County and will also allow the facility to respond to any emergency requests by
the County to reduce or hold its flow.
9. Stormwater management - the applicant should be prepared to fully discuss the stormwater
plan for handling all runoff from the landfill and associated facilities.
Response: On December 30, 1998 Chambers submitted to the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) the approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans for the facility. These
plans were re-submitted to Todd St. John, DWQ Engineer, on February 12,1999, pursuant
to an agreement reached during DWQ's February 4, 1999 site walkover. These plans
address the handling of all runoff from the landfill and the associated facilities, including
the new access road. These plans have been reviewed and approved by the Land Quality
Section of NC DENR.

Additional Local Government Approvals:
Enclosed is a copy of North Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 130A-294(bl). This statute
requires that the applicant. obtain a franchise for the operation of a sanitary landfill from each
local government having jurisdiction over any part of the land on which the landfill and
appurtenances are to be located. This franchise shall be included in the Permit to Construct
application.
This statute also requires that the applicant request a determination as to whether the local
government having jurisdiction over any part of the land on which the landfill and
appurtenances are to be located has in effect a franchise, zoning, subdivision, or land-use
planning ordinance applicable to the sanitary landfill and whether the proposed landfill would
be consistent with the applicable ordinances. This determination, in the form of a signed
affidavit as specified in the statute, shall be submitted to the Department.
r,
Additional Hydroggeologic Investigation:
The permit to construct application shall include a Design Hydrogeology Report as required by
Solid Waste Management Rule .1623(b). There are two items that will need special attention in
the Design Hydrogeology Report: (1) Additional information is needed to demonstrate that the
streams bordering the site are serving as groundwater discharge features; and (2) Further
investigation is needed to demonstrate that the diabase dikes are not serving as preferential
groundwater flow zones. Also, please refer to the attached memorandum from Bobby Lutfy
dated January 26, 1996, for a description of additional hydrogeologic investigation that shall
be included in the Design Hydrogeology Report.
Co=letion of Location Restriction Demonstrations:

RATIONALE FOR EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
The Anson County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant is experiencing no difficulty treating the
industrial waste it is receiving at this time. Permit Limits are based on the current Headworks Analysis
which considers most recast available industrial monitoring and analytical characterization of the Anson
County Regional Wastewater Treatment System. Permit Limits established in Permits to Discharge
industrial Waste and the Sewer Use Ordinance were utilized in the Headworks Analysis to determine the
capability of the Wastewater Treatment Plant to operate within design and Permit Limits, pass-through
and receiving stream Water Quality Criteria, and without chemical inhibition. Based on the above,
discharge standards for conventional pollutants are based on current industry discharges. Priority
Pollutants discharge limits are based on Categorical Standards and the Sewer Use Ordinance limits.
