RE: Landfill Gas Monitoring – First Quarter 2014
Piedmont Landfill and Recycling Center, Permit 34-06
JOYCE Project No. 392.1301.12, Task No. 03

Dear Ms. Drummond:

Landfill gas monitoring for the closed Piedmont Landfill and Recycling Center was
conducted by Joyce Engineering on January 16, 2014. The Environmental Monitoring Reporting
Form (EMRF) and Monitoring Data Log of the results are attached for this first quarterly event.
Methane was detected in gas probe GP-10 above the LEL on this date. Methane has been
previously detected in GP-10 over the limit, but the methane has been attributed to migration
from close proximity of the Kernersville Landfill that is unlined. Piedmont Landfill and
Recycling Center will continue monitoring landfill gas on a quarterly basis, with the next event
scheduled in April, 2014. If you have any further questions, please contact me at [phone].
Thank you.

Sincerely,
JOYCE ENGINEERING
