Greene County Active C&D and Closed Unlined Landfill
MESCO Project No. G17010.0
Permit No. 40-02
Event Date: September 26, 2017
Introduction
On behalf of Greene County, Municipal Engineering Services Company, P.A. (MESCO) is pleased to present this Semi-
Annual Water Quality Report with Corrective Action Update for an event performed in the fall 2017 at the active
Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill and closed Unlined Sanitary Landfill. NCDEQ Solid Waste Rules
15ANCAC13B.1630 through .1637 requires that Greene County provide this report to the SWS on a semi-annual basis.
This report documents the quality of the ground and surface waters during this monitoring event performed on
September 26, 2017. A brief corrective action update and qualitative evaluation comparing current and historical data is
also presented. A few metals were detected above North Carolina Groundwater Protection Standards (GWP) in all wells
including the background well and QC blank EB. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) benzene and vinyl chloride
continue to be detected above North Carolina Groundwater Standards (2L) in a sample collected from MW-4 which is
located within the compliance boundary.
Background
The Greene County Active Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill and Closed Unlined Sanitary Landfill is
located off Fire Tower Road (SR 1239), Walstonburg, Greene County, North Carolina and operates under permit #40-
02. A topographic map showing the facility location is included as Figure 1.
Prior to operating as a C&D landfill, the site operated as an approximate 13-acre unlined sanitary landfill which stopped
receiving waste prior to January 1, 1998 in accordance with the Greene County Transition Plan. The C&D landfill is
operating on a portion of the top of the MSW unit which are monitored together.
Water quality has been monitored at this facility on at least a semi-annual basis since 1994. MESCO submitted an
Assessment and Corrective Action (ACM) [DIN:8776] report dated August 30, 2007. MESCO then developed a
Corrective Action Plan (CAP) which was revised on February 12, 2010 (CAP-Rev. 5) [DIN:9670] and subsequently
approved on February 16, 2010 [DIN:671]. Groundwater remediation using monitored natural attenuation (MNA) was
initiated on March 30, 2010 and has continued on a semi-annual basis ever since. A Corrective Action Evaluation
Report (CAER) was submitted to the SWS on October 16, 2012 (DIN:17502) which was reviewed by the SWS and
responded to on December 6, 2012 (DIN:17837).

As specified within rule 15A NCAC 13B.1632(i), the SWS Environmental Monitoring Report Form, and SWS
memorandums this report contains sampling procedures, field and laboratory results, corrective action update,
groundwater and surface water characterization, and findings. Well construction summary table, sampling and
analysis summary table, detections compared to Standards tables, a groundwater flow directions/rates table,
potentiometric map, natural attenuation screening matrix score table, quality assurance/quality control data, and
field/laboratory analytical data results are enclosed herein.
Sampling Procedures
Environment 1 (E1) of Greenville, NC, reportedly performed this monitoring event utilizing portable monitoring
methodology in accordance with the approved Sampling & Analysis Plan (SAP) contained in the CAP-Rev.5. E1
reportedly collected groundwater samples from all locations designated in the SAP which includes five
downgradient groundwater monitoring wells (MW-4, MW-5, MW-6, MW-7 and MW-8), one background well
(MW-1R) and surface water point (Downstream). Surface water point (Upstream) was reported as dry. Quality
control measures included submittal and analysis of an equipment blank (EB), field blank (FB) and trip blank (TB).
Surface water and groundwater monitoring locations are depicted on Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 respectively. A
summary detailing the construction of the water monitoring wells is presented on Table 1.
Static water levels in each well were measured electronically prior to purging. Samples were transported under C-
O-C protocol and analyzed within the hold times specified for each method.
Field Parameter Data
E1 recorded the field parameters pH, specific conductance, temperature, turbidity, oxidation reduction potential
(ORP) and dissolved oxygen (DO) which are presented in the laboratory analysis report in Appendix A.
Laboratory Results
E1 performed analysis of groundwater samples for the constituents listed in Appendix II of 40 CFR 258. Both total
and dissolved metals listed in Appendix II of 40 CFR 258 were reported as requested by the SWS in the CAER
response (DIN 17837). In addition, samples from MW-4 and background well MW-1, were analyzed for the full
suite of MNA performance parameters as part of corrective action. MNA analysis was conducted for volatile fatty
acids, methane, ethane, ethene, and dissolved hydrogen by Microseeps Inc. of Pittsburgh, PA. A sampling and
analysis table summarizing the locations, constituents, and methods is presented on Table 2. Laboratory results and
C-O-Cs are contained in Appendix A.
Water samples were analyzed to the laboratory-established Method Detection Limits (MDL), which are at or below
the current Solid Waste Section Limit (SWSL). Table 5 summarizes constituents detected in groundwater, leachate
and QC samples compared to current SWSL, SWS adopted Groundwater Protection Standards (GWP), North
Carolina Groundwater Standards (2L) and the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) commonly referenced as the
Federal “Drinking Water Standard”. Table 6 lists the constituents detected in surface water samples compared to
SWSL, the North Carolina Surface Water Standards (2B) for a Class C water-body and the MCL.
Quality Control Samples
Five of the seventeen (29%) targeted total metals, including a concentration of vanadium above the GWP, were
detected in low non-quantifiable (“j” qualified) concentrations in sample EB. The identified artifact contamination
may indicate that the vanadium levels in particular may potentially be high biased.

Groundwater Samples
Three metals were detected above the NC 2L/GWP Standard in samples collected from 7 samples including the
background well (MW-1R) and QC Blank (EB) as summarized in the following table.

Sample MW-4 contained the VOCs benzene (2.6 ug/L) and vinyl chloride (1.8 ug/L) which are above their
respective 2L Standards (1.0 ug/L and 0.03 ug/L). These VOCs have consistently been detected in concentrations
above their respective 2L Standards in samples collected from MW-4 since the detection levels were reduced in
March 2007.
Tin, the only Appendix II exclusive parameter, defined in this report as not also listed in Appendix I, was detected in
sample MW-7 below the SWSL, below the applicable regulatory compliance Standard and lower than in the
background well MW-1R.
A site map spatially depicting contaminants detected in excess of the 2L Standard during this event is presented on
Sheet 2.
Surface Water Samples
No constituents were detected in excess of applicable 2B Standard in the surface water sample collected
downstream of the facility.
Groundwater Characterization
A single-day potentiometric map of the uppermost aquifer is presented on Sheet 2, using ground water elevation
data reported by E1 for this event. Reported groundwater elevations were all within their respective historically
identified range. Groundwater flow direction and rates were calculated based on reported data and are included in
Table 5. Estimated flow flow rates during this event, quantified through modified Darcy's equation, ranged from
about 5 ft/yr (MW-4) to 297 ft/yr (MW-8) for a site-wide average of approximately 70 ft/yr.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Workorder: 24046 GREENE CO. / 6005
Batch Comments
Batch:EDON/3515 - Low Level Volatile Fatty Acids
The percent recovery for the calibration verification analysis was above laboratory control limits. Analytes Pentanoic, iso-Hexanoicand Hexanoic acids. Results associated to the analytes in samples were unaffected by high bias.
The batch matrix spike and/or spike duplicate recovery exceeded laboratory control limits; reference sample 240530001. AnalytePentanoic, iso-Hexanoic and Hexanoic acids. Batch acceptance based on laboratory control sample recovery.
