Subject: March 2017 Semi-Annual Leachate Sampling Results
Cumberland County Subtitle D Landfill
Facility Permit No. 2601-MSWLF-1997

Dear Mr. Lane:
CDM Smith Inc., on behalf of Cumberland County, is submitting an electronic copy of the March 2017
semi-annual leachate sampling results. The liquid leachate from the Subtitle D landfill is discharged to
a lined storage pond where it is gravity fed through underground piping that discharges to the
sanitary sewer. Leachate samples were collected from the storage pond discharge piping on March 8,
2017. Table 1 presents the water quality parameters at the time samples were collected.
Environmental Conservation Laboratories, Inc. located in Cary, North Carolina, analyzed the leachate
samples for North Carolina Appendix I volatile organic compounds by U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Method 8260B, metals by EPA Methods 6010D and 6020B, biochemical oxygen demand
by Standard Method (SM) 5210B, chemical oxygen demand by SM 5220D, phosphorus by EPA Method
365.4, nitrate by EPA Method 353.2, and sulfate by EPA Method 300.0. A copy of this report will be
placed in the operating record for this facility.
If you have any questions or require further explanation, do not hesitate to call me at [phone].
Very truly yours,

Aaron M. Weispfenning, P.E.
