RE: Burke County, Kirksey Drive Landfill
Permit Number 12-01
Landfill Gas Monitoring Report – First Quarter 2017
Project No. 2180009, Phase 04

Dear Mr. Champion;

On behalf of Burke County, North Carolina, Joyce Engineering (JOYCE) is submitting the
attached methane monitoring results for Kirksey Drive Landfill, Permit Number 12-01. The 2018 first
quarter landfill gas monitoring event was performed on March 7, 2018.

During this event, JOYCE monitored six gas probes (GP-1, GP-2, GP-3, GP-4, GP-5, and GP-6)
and two buildings (Burke County Animal Shelter and Friends for Animals building). The approximate
locations of the gas probes are depicted in Drawing 1. The monitoring data for the gas probes and
buildings are summarized in the attached Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Log. Additionally, Methane
detection and Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) exceedances are summarized in the attached Table 1 and
Table 2. Methane was detected above the lower explosive limit (LEL) in gas probes GP-3, GP-4, and
GP-6. There were no detections and no exceedances in either the County Animal Shelter or the Friends
for Animals building, or the remaining gas probes. These results are consistent with previous results.

We have included an Environmental Monitoring Report Form (EMRF) and will forward a copy
of this report to Jaclynne Drummond with the NCDEQ Solid Waste Section. This report should be
added to the facility’s records. The next quarterly monitoring event is tentatively scheduled for the
second quarter 2018. If we can provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at
[phone].

Sincerely,
JOYCE ENGINEERING
