1.0 INTRODUCTION
Pitt County owns a former municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF), known as the Pitt County
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF, Facility Permit #74-01), that occupies approximately
139 acres on the west side of the City of Greenville along Allen Road. The facility is bisected by
an east -west trending railroad (Norfolk Southern Railroad) that separates the northern unit,
which was closed in 1990 from the southern unit, which was closed in 1995 (Figure 1). The
facility now operates as a transfer station that transfers waste to East Carolina Environmental
landfill located in Bertie County.
As part of the landfill's post -closure requirements, the facility must monitor groundwater and
surface water to determine if contamination is moving beyond the point of compliance for the
facility (which is no more than 250 feet from the waste boundary and at least 50 feet within the
property boundary). During the July 2018 groundwater monitoring event at the southern unit
of the Pitt County Landfill, 1,4-dioxane, a newly required target analyte, was detected in three
monitoring wells at concentrations exceeding the 15A NCAC 2L groundwater quality standard
(GMA, 2018). Exceedances of the 1,4-dioxane groundwater quality standard await confirmation
by resampling. If 1,4-dioxane concentrations remain above the groundwater quality standard,
a 14-Day Notification of Groundwater Exceedance will be filed as required, and the site will
move to'Corrective Action' status.
The Solid Waste Section (SWS) of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ) — Division of Waste Management (DWM) was notified verbally of the initial
exceedances of 1,4-dioxance in July of 2018. At present, the SWS has not requested an
updated receptor survey for the Pitt County Landfill, and a formal change to 'Corrective Action'
status will not occur until an exceedance of 1,4-dioxane has been confirmed through repeat
sampling.
As a proactive measure in the interest of public health, Pitt County voluntarily chose to perform
an updated potential receptor investigation for the Pitt County Landfill. On behalf of the
County, Groundwater Management Associates, Inc. (GMA) performed a potential receptor
survey on October 16, 2018 of the area within 2,000 feet of the edge of waste at the Pitt
County Landfill. The remainder of this report summarizes the methodology and results of that
investigation.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
To identify potential receptors within the targeted area, GMA prepared a preliminary map using
Pitt County and NC Onemap GIS data to locate parcels and surface water features within 2,000
feet of the landfill waste boundary. The Pitt County Landfill lies on the western edge of the
Greenville City limits (Figure 1), and Greenville Utilities Commission (GUC) provides public water
service throughout the search area.

Much of the search area consists of agricultural land, apartments, and housing developments.
Prior to field reconnaissance activities, GMA called the developers and/or apartment managers
of the identified housing developments to confirm that these properties were connected to
public water and that no wells were known to be located within those developments. GMA also
reviewed NCDEQ online databases of water -supply wells that withdraw more than 100,000
gallons per day to search for any large public water -supply wells (SWAPInfo2.0, 2018) and
obtained GIS data from Pitt County showing the locations of water -supply wells permitted after
2007 (when permitting began).
On October 16, 2018 GMA performed field reconnaissance within the targeted area. GMA first
visually observed the identified townhomes, apartments, and housing developments from a
vehicle. We then went to each home and business within the search radius and looked for any
sign of a water -supply well. GMA recorded the locations of all identified wells. If the home or
business owner was present, GMA interviewed the owner to determine whether a water -supply
well was located on the property, the status of the well present, and to confirm the property's
connection to the public water system. GMA also inquired as to whether the well owner would
allow Pitt County to sample the well in the future, if warranted. If the owner was not on -site,
GMA left a water -supply well questionnaire, with a stamped return envelope, asking them for
the same information (Appendix I).
3.0 POTENTIAL RECEPTOR SURVEY FINDINGS
Based on the field reconnaissance and returned potential receptor surveys from property
owners, GMA identified eight inactive water -supply wells, one active water -supply well used for
non -potable purposes, and one abandoned water -supply well within 2000 feet of the landfill
property boundary. The status and locations of all identified water -supply wells are summarized
in Table 1 and shown on Figure 1. Importantly, none of the identified water -supply wells is
currently used as a drinking water source, and only one of the wells currently has a working
pump in it.
Consistent with the phone interviews conducted prior to field reconnaissance, GMA observed no
water -supply wells within any of the housing developments found within the search radius. All
of the identified wells were located at various single-family residences located on Allen and
Stantonsburg Roads (Figure 1). However, earlier potential receptor survey work performed by
GMA during the initial closure activities determined that all of the residences along Allen Road
were supplied by public water (GMA, 1994). GMA also found no large capacity (>100,000
gallons per day) water -supply wells within the targeted search area during the online records
search or any other water supply well from the Pitt County GIS data.

The only water -supply well with an active, working pump identified during the search was
located at the radio station northeast of the facility (Map ID 1, Figure 1). According to the
property manager, Mr. Bruce Simel, the well is not used, and drinking water to the building
located on the property is supplied by GUC.
GMA observed what appeared to be a possible water -supply well on the property at 1620 Allen
Road. The property owner, Mr. Dan Lima, informed GMA via email, however, that a well is not
present on the property and that water is supplied to the residence by GUC. To help verify
these statements, GMA performed an online records search of available NCDENR documents
and found previous potential receptor survey work performed in 2001 and 2011 by consultants
working under contract with the Superfund Section of the NC-DWM (NC-DWM, 2011). A well
was not documented at 1620 Allen Road within that record.
An unnamed tributary of Greens Mill Run is located approximately 970 feet south of the landfill
property boundary. No other classified surface water feature was identified within the 2,000
feet search radius. Drainage ditches surrounding the landfill property drain to either this
unnamed tributary or another unnamed tributary to Greens Mill Run located more than 2,000
feet to the northeast of the site (not visible on Figure 1).
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
The next semi-annual monitoring event at the Pitt County Solid Waste Municipal Landfill is
scheduled for January of 2019. This monitoring event will include the analysis of water samples
at both the Northern and Southern landfill units. None of the water -supply wells identified as
part of this potential receptor survey is currently used as a source of potable water, and only
one of the identified wells has an active, working pump. GMA will check for confirmation of
exceedances of 1,4-dioxane during the scheduled January 2019 monitoring event.
