On July 25, 2018, John Patrone met with Paxton Arthurs, Daniel Moore, Susan Harrison, and Mike McFeeley to conduct
a post closure inspection of the Randolph County Closed Landfill located on County Land Road in Randleman, Randolph
County.

1. The facility is a closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill and is owned by Randolph County.
2. The landfill is located on the same property as the non-active Randolph County Transfer Facility (76-03T) and
resident convenience drop-off site. The landfill is accessed via gravel service road.
3. The landfill ceased operation on December 31, 1997.
4. The facility is maintained by Waste Management of Carolinas, Inc.
5. The facility is composed of two adjoining landfill areas: a small area operated from 1973 – 1985 and a large area
operated from 1985 – 1997. The small landfill area was capped with soil and the large landfill area has a synthetic
cover and soil cap.
6. The facility maintains semiannual groundwater and surface water monitoring records. Monitoring is submitted
by Golder Associates NC, Inc., analyzed by ENCO Laboratories and Pace Analytical. Records were observed
for October 28-30, 2015, April 5-6, 2016, October 4-5, 2016, April 3-5, 2017, October 3-5, 2017, and April 2018.
