ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The facility is a closed construction and demolition (C&D) landfill. The C&D landfill, consisting of Cells 1
through 8, stopped receiving waste in December 2006, and closure certification was completed in January 2012.

1. Matt Einsmann, Republic Services contacted Liz Patterson, Environmental Senior Specialist with NCDEQ,
Division of Waste Management on Tuesday, March 1, 2016 to self-report an area of erosion and soil discoloration
in the northwestern section of Cell 7 near the perimeter stormwater ditch. A release of a leachate-like material
may have occurred and was first noticed on Tuesday, March 1, 2016.

2. The C&DLF is secured by a gate and fence around the perimeter to prevent trespassing.

3. Edge-of-Waste markers have been installed around all cells and are being maintained.

4. Semiannual groundwater and surface water monitoring records were not reviewed during the inspection.

5. Water monitoring wells were observed and were in good repair. The wells were locked and labeled and are
accessible.

6. Access roads were in good condition, allowing for sufficient access to closed cells and monitoring wells on the
site. Vegetation on the access roads has been mowed and is scheduled to continue to be mowed twice a year.

7. The landfill caps are covered with native grasses. The cover was in good condition for all units at the time of the
inspection; no bald spots were observed.

8. A weather station with soil probes and 4 tree test plot areas are located on the South Lateral Expansion of
Cell 7. Weather station data is being downloaded on a monthly basis by Mr. Einsmann. Data from the weather
station, soil probes, and quarterly inspections of the test plot areas by a Registered Forester, are submitted to the
Solid Waste Section on an annual basis.

9. Area of erosion and soil discoloration in the northwestern section of Cell 7 near the perimeter stormwater ditch.
Based on the location of the discoloration relative to the ditch, it appears that a release of leachate may have
occurred.

Remove the leachate contaminated soil from below the footprint and the storm water drainage ditch. This soil
can be placed on the top of the landfill. Sample the soil and surface water according to the method listed below:
• Submit a sampling plan for Solid Waste Section review within 45 days and approval prior to conducting the
sampling activities. Submit plan to Jaclynne Drummond, 1646 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1664.
• The sampling plan should include sampling methodology and a figure depicting the sampling locations.
• A summary report (in electronic format) containing the results of the assessment should be submitted to the
Solid Waste Section within 30 days of receiving the analytical results from the NC certified laboratory.

Soil Sampling
• Guidelines for soil sampling are located at:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=d28d4f91-4b6d-4c9d-afd9-
47c9ee93615f&groupId=38361.
• Conduct subsurface soil sampling to evaluate the extent of the potential environmental impacts from the
release(s) at the facility. Discrete soil samples should be collected between one to two feet below ground
surface. Composite soil samples will not be accepted. A background subsurface soil sample should also be
collected.
• Analyze subsurface soil samples for the Appendix I of 40 CFR Part 258 list of constituents consisting of both
VOCs and metals. Please also analyze for pH.
• The results should be compared to the Preliminary Soil Remediation Goal Table. Both the health based and the
protection of groundwater soil goals must be met. The table is located at
http://portal.ncdenr.org/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=0f601ffa-574d-4479-bbb4-
253af0665bf5&groupId=38361.
Surface Water Sampling
• Guidelines for surface water sampling are located at
http://portal.ncdenr.org/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=d28d4f91-4b6d-4c9d-afd9-
47c9ee93615f&groupId=38361.
• Conduct surface water sampling to evaluate the extent of the potential environmental impacts from the
release(s) at the facility. A background surface water sample should also be collected.
• Analyze surface water samples for the Appendix I of 40 CFR Part 258 list of constituents consisting of both
VOCs and metals. Please also analyze for the field parameters pH, specific conductance, ORP, dissolved
oxygen, and turbidity.
• The results should be compared to the 2B Surface Water Standards.

Corrective actions are needed as a result of this inspection.
