1.0 INTRODUCTION
On behalf of Chambers Development of North Carolina, Inc.-Anson Waste Management Facility, Jett
Environmental Consulting statistically evaluated the First Semi-Annual 2017 groundwater data. Sampling
was performed by S&ME and analytical testing was performed by Environmental Conservation
Laboratories, Inc. The statistical analysis software package utilized, SanitasTM, follows a documented
decision logic that incorporates the following applicable document: USEPA “Statistical Analysis of
Groundwater Monitoring Data at RCRA Facilities, Unified Guidance” (March 2009).
2.0 SITE BACKGROUND AND MONITORING NETWORK
Per the site’s Statistical Analysis Plan dated July 2001 by Herst & Associates, Inc. and in compliance with
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Solid Waste Management Regulations,
Section .1600 “Requirements for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Facilities,” Jett Environmental Consulting
statistically evaluated parameters from the First Semi-Annual 2017 event using intra-well prediction interval
analysis. Prediction intervals are considered a powerful tool for groundwater statistical analysis, when
feasible, due to their inherent low false negative and false positive rates utilizing confirmatory resampling,
if necessary.
Background is defined as samples collected from each well from October 2000 through the October 2015
event. Background will generally be reviewed every two to three years to determine if more recent data
can be added to the background pool of data. The parameters subject to statistical evaluation during
detection monitoring are noted in NCDEQ Section .1633 as constituents listed in Appendix I of 40 CFR Part
258 “Appendix I Constituents for Detection Monitoring”. Table 1 lists the site’s groundwater monitoring
wells.
Per September 28, 2012 NCDEQ correspondence, approval was granted to sample the six Shallow zone
wells on a semi-annual basis, with the groundwater elevations monitored in Deep zone wells on a semi-
annual basis. The approval was under the condition that a groundwater sample be collected from a Deep
zone well if its accompanying Shallow zone well did not contain enough water to yield a sample. Each of
the Shallow zone wells was able to be sampled during the First Semi-Annual 2017 event.
Due to anomalous results for total metals at MW-2S during the Second Semi-Annual 2007 (October 2007)
and Second Semi-Annual 2009 (November 2009) events, data from these dates are not utilized in the
background data set for intra-well statistical analyses of MW-2S.
In addition to groundwater monitoring, the site has a surface water monitoring network consisting of the
following points:
Upstream
Pinch Gut Creek Upstream (BG-1)
Brown Creek Upstream (BG-2)
Downstream
Brown Creek Downstream (SG-3)
Pinch Gut Creek Downstream (SG-4)
The four surface water sampling points are sampled semi-annually for the 40 CFR Part 258 Appendix I list
in conjunction with the groundwater monitoring wells.
During permitting of Phase 2, a sampling station (SG-5) was added at the outlet of an underdrain built below
Phase 2B (beneath the north side of Phase 2A and the south side of Phase 2B). Two additional underdrain
sampling stations were added during Summer 2016: Underdrain Combo 1E/2E and Underdrain 2C-North.
SG-5, Underdrain Combo 1E/2E, and Underdrain 2C-North are to be sampled semi-annually (contingent

on flow availability) for the 40 CFR Part 258 Appendix I list. Each of the surface water points was able to
be sampled during the First Semi-Annual 2017 event, with the exception of Underdrain 2C-North, which
was dry (no flow) and not sampled.
A leachate sample is also collected semi-annually for analysis in accordance with the facility’s permit. The
leachate sample is analyzed for the 40 CFR Part 258 Appendix I list, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical
oxygen demand, nitrate as N, pH, phosphorous, specific conductance, and sulfate. A leachate sample was
able to be sampled during the First Semi-Annual 2017 event.
According to the October 2008 plan prepared by David Garrett and Associates and titled “Water Quality
Monitoring Plan,” two Enhanced Liner System (ELS) sumps (#5 and #7) are to be sampled if liquids are
present. The ELS sumps are sampled semi-annually for the 40 CFR Part 258 Appendix I list. ELS sump
#5 and #7 were able to be sampled during the First Semi-Annual 2017 event.
3.0 SITE HYDROGEOLOGY
The following site hydrogeology summary was taken from a document titled Baseline Sampling Report,
Anson Waste Management Facility, dated June 2001 by Almes & Associates, Inc.
The site is located in the Piedmont Physiographic province within the Triassic-age Wadesboro basin. In
general, the lithology of the site is composed of saprolitic soils and partially weathered rocks grouped
together as “overburden” and competent bedrock. Three rock types comprise the bedrock at the site;
Triassic sediments of the Wadesboro basin (Chatham Group), bedded argillites of the Carolina Slate belt
(Floyd Church Formation), and diabase units in two north-west trending features (dikes). The three bedrock
types and overburden appear to have similar hydraulic characteristics and behave as equivalent to a porous
granular media at site scale. As a result, the direction of groundwater flow should be largely controlled by
site topography.
The groundwater monitoring system at the site has been designed to monitor groundwater within both the
overburden and the bedrock. Those monitoring wells designated with an “S”-suffix are screened within the
overburden to monitor the shallow groundwater and those wells designated with a “D”-suffix are deeper
wells screened within the bedrock. Based on data obtained during previous hydrogeologic investigations
at that site, it was determined that the geologic units were in communication, the groundwater flow pattern
appears to be controlled by topography, and the subsurface may be represented as a porous granular
media. The location and completed intervals for monitoring wells MW-1D and MW-6D were selected
specifically to collect background and downgradient water quality data, respectively, from the diabase dikes
at the site.
Appendix A provides potentiometric surface maps and groundwater flow calculations for the Shallow zone
and Deep zone utilizing groundwater level data from the First Semi-Annual 2017 event. Groundwater flow
direction for the First Semi-Annual 2017 event was to the northeast in both zones, consistent with past
events. Groundwater flow rate for the First Semi-Annual 2017 event was estimated to range from 77
feet/year in the Shallow zone to 36 feet/year in the Deep zone.
4.0 DATA EVALUATION
Appendix C contains a copy of the laboratory analytical reports and field log sheets for the First Semi-
Annual 2017 event for the groundwater, surface water, leachate, and ELS sump samples.
Groundwater
The analytical results for the First Semi-Annual 2017 event for the groundwater samples are summarized
on Table 2. No volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected at or above the NC Solid Waste Section
Reporting Limits (SWSLs) in groundwater samples. As shown on Table 2, a few NC Appendix I inorganic
constituents were detected in samples from one or more wells at concentrations above their respective NC
Groundwater Statistical Analysis Report
Anson Waste Management Facility, North Carolina 3
Solid Waste Section Reporting Limits (SWSLs). Of the detections, only the following Appendix I
constituents were detected above an SWSL and NC Solid Waste Section Groundwater Protection Standard
(NC GWPS) or NC 2L Groundwater Standard (NC 2L) during the First Semi-Annual 2017 sampling event:
barium at MW-8S and chromium at MW-4S. Therefore, barium at MW-8S and chromium at MW-4S were
statistically evaluated to determine if concentrations exhibit statistically significant increases (see Section
5.2).
Surface Water
The analytical results for the First Semi-Annual 2017 event for the surface water samples are summarized
on Table 3. During the First Semi-Annual 2017 event, no Appendix I VOCs were detected in surface water
samples at quantified concentrations above their respective NC SWSLs. No Appendix I inorganic
constituents were reported above an NC 2B Surface Water Standard during the First Semi-Annual 2017
event, with the exception of copper at SG-4. The First Semi-Annual 2017 copper concentration at SG-4
(0.0168 mg/L) was above the NC 2B Standard (0.003 mg/L), however was within the range of historical
copper results from upstream BG-1 (0.00042 to 0.077 mg/L) and upstream BG-2 (0.00052 to 0.031 mg/L).
Leachate
During the First Semi-Annual 2017 event, a sample was collected from the leachate collection system. The
leachate sample results are summarized on Table 4.
Enhanced Liner System
According to the October 2008 plan prepared by David Garrett and Associates and titled “Water Quality
Monitoring Plan,” an evaluation is to be made semi-annually of the volume of free liquid removed from the
Enhanced Liner System (ELS) sump. The results of the evaluation and the VOC analysis of the ELS sump
liquids are to be included in the semi-annual groundwater report. The analytical results for the First Semi-
Annual 2017 event for the ELS sump samples are summarized on Table 4.
According to site personnel, liquids were present at ELS sumps #5 and #7 during the last six month
monitoring period. A sample was collected from ELS sumps #5 and #7 during the First Semi-Annual 2017
event and analyzed for the required VOCs. Liquids that are present in ELS sumps #5 and #7 are pumped
to the leachate collection/disposal system and managed as leachate.
As shown on Table 4, low-level VOCs were detected in the ELS sump samples, consistent with previous
events. Total metals are also sampled at the ELS sumps to supplement the VOC analyses (see Table 4).
According to the site, from November 2016 through April 2017, the total volume of liquids measured in ELS
sumps #5 and #7 was 6 gallons and 6,024 gallons, respectively.
5.0 STATISTICAL PROCEDURES
The following Appendix I constituents were detected above the SWSL and NC GWPS/NC 2L standard
during the First Semi-Annual 2017 sampling event: barium at MW-8S and chromium at MW-4S. Statistical
analyses (i.e. intra-well prediction limits) were performed to establish background concentrations and
determine if the NC GWPS/NC 2L value-to-value exceedance exhibited a statistically significant increase
in the Shallow zone.
5.1 Outlier Analysis
The background data were evaluated for the presence of statistical outliers. Methodologies for determining
a statistical outlier are defined in the EPA document, Statistical Analysis of Ground-Water Monitoring Data
at RCRA Facilities – Unified Guidance (March 2009). Any statistical outliers that were determined were
removed from the background data set prior to performing prediction interval statistical analysis. According
to the EPA guidance documents above, data that are not normally or log-normally distributed are not
Groundwater Statistical Analysis Report
Anson Waste Management Facility, North Carolina 4
recommended for evaluation of outliers. In cases where the data were not normally or log-normally
distributed, outliers were not removed from the data set.
Background outliers flagged for removal are identified on the statistical plots provided in Appendix B for
the Shallow zone.
5.2 Intra-Well Prediction Intervals
The prediction interval is a statistical method used to compare a single observation to a group of
observations. The prediction interval is calculated to include observations from the same population with a
specified confidence. In groundwater monitoring, a prediction interval approach may be used to make
comparisons between background and compliance data. The interval is developed to contain all future
observations, within a certain probability. For the Anson Waste Management site, intra-well prediction
intervals have been developed based on a 99% confidence that future observations will fall within the range.
If any future observation exceeds the prediction interval, this is considered statistically significant evidence
that the observation is not representative of the background group.
During parametric prediction interval analysis, the mean and the standard deviation are calculated for the
raw or transformed background data. The number of comparison observations, K, is defined to be included
in the interval. If less than 15% of the background observations are nondetects, the nondetects are replaced
with one half of the reporting limit prior to performing the analysis. If more than 15% but less than 50% of
the background data are below the reporting limit, the data’s sample mean and standard deviation are
adjusted according to the Kaplan-Meier method. However, when the background data are not transformed-
normal or contain greater than 50% observations below the reporting limit, SanitasTM automatically
constructs a non-parametric prediction interval. During non-parametric analysis, the highest value from the
background data is used to set the upper limit of the prediction interval.
Prediction interval summary tables are presented in Appendix B for the Shallow zone. Included in
Appendix B are time series plots for each of the parameters statistically analyzed for this reporting period.
5.3 Statistical Results Summary
For the First Semi-Annual 2017 event, no statistical exceedances were exhibited in the Shallow zone wells.
During the First Semi-Annual 2017 event, no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected above the
North Carolina Solid Waste Section Limits (SWSLs) in groundwater samples.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS
For the First Semi-Annual 2017 event, no statistical exceedances were exhibited in the Shallow zone wells.
During the First Semi-Annual 2017 event, no VOCs were detected above the NC SWSLs in groundwater
samples.
During the First Semi-Annual 2017 event, no Appendix I VOCs were detected in surface water samples at
quantified concentrations above their respective NC SWSLs. No Appendix I inorganic constituents were
reported above an NC 2B Surface Water Standard during the First Semi-Annual 2017 event, with the
exception of copper at SG-4. The First Semi-Annual 2017 copper concentration at SG-4 (0.0168 mg/L)
was above the NC 2B Standard (0.003 mg/L), however was within the range of historical copper results
from upstream BG-1 (0.00042 to 0.077 mg/L) and upstream BG-2 (0.00052 to 0.031 mg/L).
The site will continue monitoring in accordance with the requirements for Detection Monitoring as outlined
in Title 15A NCAC 13B .1633. The next semi-annual event is tentatively scheduled for October 2017.
