In addition, the County has received a January 19, 1995 letter from Phil Prete directing the County to conduct air quality tests, and a December 27, 1994 letter from Mark Poindexter directing the County to conduct additional groundwater sampling for the northern portion of the Landfill. The County has been discussing directives in a -manner that is bot public health and the environment. County's consultant, Pete Moncla Associates, the County proposes activities: h how best to comply with these efficient and protective of After consulting with the of Groundwater Management the following sequence of 1. the County will conduct air testing around MW-2 and P-15, as requested in Mr. Prete's January 19, 1995 letter; 2. the County will conduct an initial round of sampling at the northern unit, as contemplated in Mr. Poindexter's December 27, 1994 letter; and A - -1`7 , J 11 1 . U 0 4 09 aN Dexter R. Matthews February 27, 1995 Page 2 3. Based on the information obtained as a result of steps 1 and 2, the County will submit the Plan called for by the AAC. The County believes that pursuing these steps in this order will protect the health of employees taking the water samples, prevent duplicative groundwater testing, and allow for the submission of an AAC Plan that will require minimal revisions. We, and Pete Moncla, would like to meet with representatives of the Division as soon as possible to discuss these steps. I would appreciate your contacting me at your earliest convenience so that we can schedule our meeting. Thank you for your continued assistance in this matter.

Post Office Box 27525 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 Re: Groundwater Investigation at Pitt County Landfill Dear Beth. In your letter of January 12, you asked me to advise you of the status of this matter and of the County"s position regarding the investigation of the area of MW-2. The purpose of this letter is to give you the information you requested. On Monday, January 9, 1995, the Pitt County Board of County Commissioners approved an Administrative Agreement on Consent between the County and the State Division of Solid Waste Management. The agreement calls for the County to perform an investigation of the existence, nature and extent of groundwater and surface water contamination at the Landfill. With the exception of one revised but substantially similar paragraph (i.e., Section X), the agreement is the sarne one the County approved and sent to the State in April, 1994. The appropriate State officials also have signed the agreement. A copy of the executed agreement is enclosed. An important focus of the investigation will be the condition of the groundwater in the vicinity of the cell that holds the pesticides and pesticide -contaminated materials from the 1979 Coastal Chemical fire. As you know, Monitoring Well 2 is the Landfill monitoring well that is closest to the Coastal Chemical cell. It was the presence of contaminants in MW-2 that first triggered the County's and State's concerns about a possible groundwater problem. Additional testing seems to support the reasonableness of the County's concerns about the Coastal Chemical pesticides and pesticide -containing materials as a potential source of t}:!e c: Aitarninants that have been found. As Coastal Chemical's inventory of disposed n.<1 erials indicates, the amount of pesticides and pesticide -containing materials that were placed in Lie coil Elizabeth M. Powell, Esq. January 26, 1995 Page 2 in the Landfill was quite large. Now, pesticides are being found in the monitoring well nearest the Coastal Chemical cell. (At the State -Coastal Chemical -County meeting in September, 1994, the County provided this information to the company.) The County's view is that the information now available makes it appropriate and in the public's interest for the groundwater investigation to move ahead. The State shares that view, and encouraged the County to proceed. Consequently, on January 9, the County approved the agreement that provides for the investigation. It is also the County's view that, with the company's materials being a potential source of groundwater contamination at the Landfill, Coastal Chemical a. d other parties who in 1979 solicited the County to allow placement of those materials in the lanafill ought in fairness to participate in and contribute to the investigation effort. Coastal Chemical's involvement in the investigation will help insure that the study addresses the issues that the company has raised about the current state of knowledge concerning the source, nature and extent of contamination. Participation and contribution can be accomplished without admission of liability or waiver of defense. Pitt County invites Coastal Chemical to sign the agreement, and to help design, oversee and pay for the investigation. Because of deadlines in the agreement, the County needs to know quickly whether Coastal will participate and contribute. Please advise the County of the company's position on that subject on or before February 6, 1995. Thank you for your and the company's attention to this matter. Sincerely yours, r William G.

Jurisdiction This Administrative Agreement On Consent is entered pursuant to the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act, N.C.G.S. 130A, Article 9, and Rules, codified at 15A NCAC 13B. Dexter R. Matthews, Chief of the Solid Waste Section, Division of Solid Waste Management ("The Division"), has been delegated the authority to implement the Solid Waste Management Program under the Act and Rules. This Consent Agreement is entered for the limited purpose of investigating contamination of the ground water and possible contamination of surface water in the vicinity of the sanitary landfill owned and maintained by Pitt County, North Carolina. This Agreement is entered without prejudice to any further study or remedial activity which may be necessary at this site. `a III. Stipulation of Facts Based upon information available at the effective date of this Consent Agreement, the following facts are stipulated for the purposes of this Consent Agreement: A. Pitt County owns and operates a sanitary landfill located off S.R. 1203 just west of Greenville City limits. B. Pitt County has operated the landfill under an Order of Approval beginning in June, 1974. After the RCRA legislation became effective Pitt County has operated a sanitary landfill permitted to receive solid, non -hazardous waste for disposal under Solid Waste Permit #74-01. C. Elevated levels of inorganic constituents and indicator parameters from a previous sampling event performed by the County's sampling contractor, indicated the possibility of contamination in on -site monitoring wells. This prompted the Solid Waste Section to split samples with the sampling contractor on September 5, 1991 and perform organic and inorganic analysis on the samples. Groundwater monitoring analytical results from that sampling event revealed the presence of semi -volatile and volatile organic compounds, as well as, inorganic constituents in the monitoring wells. Subsequent sampling events have confirmed the presence of inorganic and organic constituents that exceed the N.C. Ground Water Standards. D. As of the effective date of this Consent Agreement, the nature and extent of ground -water contamination in the vicinity of the Pitt County Sanitary Landfill has not been clearly determined. 3 NUIEFSTOTIRMUM A. 15A NCAC 13B .0503(2)(d)(i) adopts by reference 15A NCAC 2L, Classifications And Water Quality Standards Applicable To The Groundwaters Of North Carolina. B. 15A NCAC 13B .0503(2)(c)(i) states that "A (landfill) site shall not cause a discharge of pollutants into waters of the state that is in violation of the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, as amended". Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0503(2)(c)(iii) states that "a site shall not cause non -point source pollution of waters of the state that violates assigned water quality standards". C. 15A NCAC 13B .0601(a) states that "The Division shall require a solid waste management facility to provide such ground -water monitoring capability as the Division determines to be necessary to detect the effects of the facility on ground -water in the area". D. 15A NCAC 13B .0602(a) states that "The Division shall require a solid waste management facility to provide such surface water monitoring capability as the Division determines to be necessary to detect the effects of the facility on surface water in the area". E. 15A NCAC 13B .0201(d) states that "All solid waste management facilities shall be operated in conformity with these Rules and in such a manner as to prevent the creation of a nuisance, insanitary conditions, or potential public health hazard". Based upon the facts and applicable law, the Division has determined, for purposes of 4 this Consent Agreement only, the following: A. Analyses of samples of ground water taken at the landfill since 1991 indicate contravention of ground water standards for various inorganic and organic constituents. B. An investigation of ground -water conditions in the vicinity of the landfill is necessary to identify any plume of contamination, the direction and rate of movement of the plume, and to determine the type, concentration, source and extent of contamination. C. An investigation of surface water conditions in the vicinity of the site is necessary to determine the type, concentration, source and movement of surface water contamination, if any. D. An investigation is necessary to determine the ground -water discharge points and the effect of contaminated ground -water discharge on the streams. E. An investigation of the ground and surface water receptors in the general area of the landfill is necessary to determine the potential impact of ground and surface water contamination on the public health. The Division has determined that this Agreement will promote the protection of public health and the environment and is in the public interest. The provisions of this Administrative Agreement shall henceforth govern the actions of Pitt County. Therefore, in an effort to determine the status of ground and surface water quality at and in the vicinity of its landfill property, Pitt County agrees to perform the following actions: A. Within sixty (60) calendar days of execution of this Agreement, Pitt County 5 shall develop and submit a plan for a ground and surface water quality investigation which, upon approval by the Division, will constitute the approved assessment plan. The plan shall be prepared by a licensed professional geologist with experience in assessment and remediation of ground water contamination. The professional geologist shall consult with the Solid Waste Section about the landfill site prior to developing the assessment plan. The objective of the assessment plan shall be to determine the following: (a) The nature and concentration of the contamination in the ground and surface waters. (b) The horizontal and vertical extent of contamination ("the plume") and the direction and rate of migration of the plume in the ground water. (c) The source(s) of contamination detected in ground and surface water. (d) Potential ground and surface water receptors that could be affected by migration of the contamination. (e) The effect of the contaminated ground water discharge into nearby streams. The assessment plan to be submitted shall contain a detailed plan for the initial phase of the investigation and a strategy and timetable for accomplishing the overall goals of the water quality assessment. The assessment plan must specify: 1. The procedures and methods necessary to fully determine flow direction and rate of movement of the ground water. 2. The methods and techniques to be used in defining the horizontal and 0 vertical extent of the ground water contaminant plume. 3. The proposed number, location and depth of plume assessment wells. The proposal shall include a discussion of the reasons for the location and depth of each plume assessment monitoring well. 4. A ground and surface water sampling plan prepared in accordance with 5. A ground and surface water analysis plan which specifies parameters to be tested for in the plume assessment wells and surface water samples, including detectable levels and appropriate test methods. Additionally, a description of chain -of -custody and the laboratory's quality control and quality assurance procedures shall be included. In implementing the plan, analytical results must be submitted to the Division within 45-calendar days of sample collection and must specify collection date and well numbers (with a corresponding map of the wells). 6. Evaluation procedures, including any use of previously gathered ground water quality data. 7. The methods necessary to calculate the effect of the ground water discharge into nearby streams. 8. The location of the nearest downstream surface water intake in the watershed, and the location of all ground water wells within at least one half mile of the landfill site. 9. A schedule for implementation of the work described in the assessment plan. B. The Division shall review the submitted plan, approve it, or request more information or amendment, as it deems necessary. The approved plan constitutes the assessment plan which Pitt County shall implement. C. Any request for modification of the assessment plan must be submitted in writing to the Division and approved by the Division. D. If the Division determines that any submission of data or evaluation or report made pursuant to the approved assessment plan is inadequate, it will notify Pitt County and submit suggested corrections. If the parties cannot agree, they will proceed in accordance with the provisions of the "Dispute Resolution" Section of this Consent Agreement. E. All work performed pursuant to the assessment plan shall be performed under the supervision of a licensed professional geologist. F. Pitt County shall submit to the Division periodic reports summarizing work completed in the approved assessment plan. G. Within sixty (60) days of satisfactory completion of all elements of the assessment plan, Pitt County shall submit a final report including any proposals for further actions as may be recommended by the County and its consultants. The Division shall review the report and may request more information or amendment as it deems necessary. At the request of the Division, the County shall allow split or duplicate samples to be N. taken by the Division, of any samples collected by the County pursuant to the implementation of this Consent Agreement. The County shall notify the Division not less than ten (10) days in advance of any sample collection activity. The Division shall also allow split or duplicate samples to be taken by the County of any samples collected by the Division during the period of performance of work associated with this Consent Agreement. The Division shall notify the County not less than ten (10) days in advance of any sample collection activity. The Division shall have the authority to enter and freely move about all property at the Site at all reasonable times for the purposes of, inter alia: inspecting non -privileged records, operating logs, and contracts related to work under this Consent Agreement: reviewing the progress of the County in carrying out the terms of this Consent Agreement; conducting such tests as the Division deems necessary; and verifying the data submitted to the Division by the County.

My client faxed me a copy of the first of the Greenville newspaper articles that stated that Pitt County will be moving forward to perform the groundwater survey. I was most concerned to see that Pitt County continues to point to Coastal Chemical as the source of the problem, particularly in light of my request that such accusations cease in my September 21, 1993 letter. In addition, I was shocked to see that Pitt County estimates that the investigation is expected to cost $100,000. I understand that in additional stories in the paper and on TV, Pitt County officials have stated that Superfund money may be sought at this site and that continued references have been made to Coastal Chemical's responsibility. As you know, Coastal Chemical performed substa,itial researc , both into Pitt County's files and independently, following our meeting with the Division of Solid Waste Management and determined that there is not sufficient evidence to tie the contamination detected at the landfill to Coastal Chemical's waste. In our last conversation, I informed you of this position, but stated that Coastal is still very interested in staying involved in this investigation and wanted to know what action Pitt County would take. You indicated that you would contact me once you spoke to your client. I received no further information on this matter until I received a call from my client yesterday and a copies of the newspaper articles. Needless to say, Coastal Chemical is very concerned about Pitt County's failure to provide Coastal with information about this William G. Ross, Jr., Esquire January 12, 1995 Page 2 investigation. We have sent repeated letters requesting to be kept up to date or to be provided information and are repeatedly the last to receive such information. I have attached some of our correspondence for your review. I believe that it is only logical that if Pitt County may, at some point, look to Coastal Chemical to assist in funding this investigation, we should at least be kept informed and allowed input into the process. As I have discussed with you a number of times, we have serious concerns about the work performed by Pitt County's chosen consultant, Groundwater Management, Inc. Not only do our consultants question the work already performed, but, as noted in previous correspondence, the proposal that we were provided for additional investigative work in the area of MW-2 was lacking in information that would be standard in the industry for such a hydrogeological investigation. At your request, we provided comments to that proposal, which, apparently were disregarded in constructing and sampling the piezometers. Coastal Chemical again requests that it be allowed an opportunity to provide input into the choice of the consulting firm to conduct such investigation and input into the scope of work to be performed. Further, until it is established that Coastal Chemical is the source of the contaminants in MW-2, Pitt County must cease publication of such allegations to the public. Coastal Chemical has information which calls this conclusion into question. Therefore, until such conclusion can be confirmed, Pitt County officials must not make such statements to the press. Please contact me to advise me of the status of this matter and Pitt County's position regarding the investigation of the area of MW-2 as soon as possible. I appreciate your attention to this matter.

N.C. 27401 TELEPHONE 910/376-5200 FACSIMILE 910/379-9556 On behalf of our client, Coastal Chemical, we have reviewed the groundwater investigation proposal prepared by Groundwater Management Associates, Inc. (GMA) for the area of Monitoring Well -112 at the Pitt County landfill. Coastal Chemical's technical consultant, Al Rimer of Blasland & Bouck Engineers, P.C., reviewed the GMA proposal and we have incorporated his comments into this letter. Regarding the work plan proposed by GMA, we find the proposal to be incomplete and ambiguous. Basically, GMA has proposed to install two wells. We are confused about the goals of the GMA proposal. We assume, based on the August 3, 1993 letter from the NCDEHNR-Solid Waste Section to Pitt County, that Pitt County has instructed GMA to determine the "nature and extent of contamination" in the area of MW-2. In its proposal, GMA has given no indication of the basis for its decision to install two wells or for the proposed locations of these wells. What, if any, scientific information GMA used as a basis for its well locations is not apparent from a review of the proposal. No surface elevations are discernible, groundwater flow directions are not noted, little is done to define the specific location of the wells, and no discussion is provided to validate the selected well depth of 25 feet. We assume at least some of this information is available due to the number of wells already located at the landfill. While this information may have been available to GMA, no reference was made to such data in the proposal. In order for our consultants to properly review the selected well locations, and because we are primarily interested in the proximity of the proposed wells to the cell containing Coastal Chemical's material, we will need a more detailed map indicating the existing and proposed well locations and other information noted above, before we can provide any opinion regarding the GMA proposal. We would also suggest that Mr. William G. Ross, Jr. December 8, 1993 Page 2 . additional research or investigation be performed. before the wells are installed to ensure that the wells provide data that will assist Pitt -County in determining the source of contaminants in MW-2. We would further suggest that GMA's basis for concluding that these wells will provide such information be discussed in_a revised GMA proposal. During this entire sampling effort, we are particularly concerned about maintaining the integrity of the cell containing Coastal's waste. From the information you provided to our office regarding the location of MW-2, we can not determine whether MW-2 has violated the integrity of the cell. If you or your client have any more information about the location of MW-2 and its proximate location to the cell containing Coastal's wastes, we would appreciate receiving such information. GMA's proposal provides us no assurance that the proposed wells will maintain the integrity of the existing Coastal cell. Mr. Rimer has raised a pertinent question about the well sampling performed to date. The sampling results provided to our office fail to indicate the performance of any QA/QC procedures since no sampling protocol has been provided to our office to establish the credibility of the sampling to date. In addition to calling into question the results of past sampling, the lack of such QA/QC procedures should be considered by GMA in developing its investigation strategy. We request that any additional sampling information for MW-2 be provided for our review, and request that sampling protocols, including proper QA/QC methods be included by GMA in their revised investigation work plan. On another issue, Coastal Chemical remains concerned about Pitt County's apparent assumption that the contaminants detected in MW-2 are caused by the materials from the Coastal Chemical fire. As you know, the materials disposed of at the landfill by Coastal Chemical, under the State's direction, were pesticides and building materials that resulted from a catastrophic fire. No solvents, petroleum or materials containing solvents or petroleum were disposed of in the cell. If such materials had been present at the Coastal Chemical facility, they would have been the first materials consumed by the fire since such materials are highly volatile and this was a very intense fire. Therefore, there is very little chance that, if any such materials did exist, they survived the fire. The only materials disposed of in the cell were pesticides, herbicides and the burned remains of Coastal Chemical's building. We attach hereto a copy of the inventory of all pesticides and herbicides disposed of in the cell. Based on our consultant's Mr. William G. Ross, Jr. December 8, 1993 Page 3 review of the sampling results from MW-2, we do not believe that the contaminants detected in that well are emanating from Coastal Chemical's cell. It has been suggested that the presence of sulphur containing compounds supports Pitt County's assumption that the contaminants are from Coastal Chemical's cell. While sulfates could have been contained in Coastal Chemical materials, they are also present in many other wastes commonly found in landfills. Therefore, unless Pitt County has additional information to establish that the contamination in MW-2 comes from Coastal Chemical's cell, we continue to maintain that such a connection has not been established. We look forward to receiving an expanded work plan for review. As before, we appreciate prior notice before any work is performed at the landfill regarding investigation in the area of the Coastal Chemical cell or MW-2. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments. very truly yours, SMITH HELMS MULLISS & MOORE, L.L.P. E'KP : lm Elizabeth M.

N.C. 27401 TELEPHONE 919/376-5200 TELECOPIER 919,1379-9338 As I informed you in our telephone conversation, we are representing Coastal Chemical Corporation of Greenville, North Carolina, in responding to the letter they received from your client, Pitt County, regarding its landfill. In particular, the State has requested that Pitt County investigate groundwater contamination indicated in Monitoring Well No. 2 at the Pitt County Landfill. In its letter, Pitt County informs Coastal Chemical that it intends to hold it liable for the cost of investigating and remediating any groundwater contamination emanating from the cell in which Coastal Chemical, pursuant to state emergency order, placed waste materials from its 1979 fire. Coastal Chemical certainly intends to cooperate with Pitt County in determining the source of the contamination at its landfill. To this end, we would appreciate you keeping us informed as this investigation progresses.. In particular, we would appreciate being allowed to participate in any investigation which takes place at the property. Please inform me, in advance, of any site investigation that is to be performed so that we can have Coastal Chemical's environmental consultant, Alan Rimer, of Blasland, Bouck & Lee, present to observe and participate in the investigation. In addition, I would appreciate any information you have regarding the location and construction of Monitoring Well No. 2. It is my understanding from our conversation that it is a newly constructed well. Therefore, it would be a great assistance to us if we knew where, in the landfill, this monitoring well was constructed, the type of well used, and the depth of the screen, as well as any other information available. William G. Ross, Jr., Esquire September 21, 1993 Page 2 . As previously stated, Coastal Chemical certainly intends to cooperate with Pitt County in this effort. However, we have reviewed the March 1993 sampling data from Monitoring Well No. 2 and believe it fails,to indicate the presence of pesticides or any other constituents which are related to pesticides or any other waste that was placed in the landfill by Coastal Chemical. At this time, we are aware of no evidence which clearly indicates that the contamination in this well is emanating from the cell containing Coastal Chemical's fire waste. For that reason, Coastal Chemical is very concerned by the characterization of Coastal Chemical as the source of the contamination in Pitt County's news release. Until the source of the contamination is more accurately identified, we would appreciate Pitt County not giving the impression to the public, through press releases or otherwise, that the Coastal Chemical waste is the source of the contamination. As you know, given the variety of waste deposited in a landfill, multiple other sources could be the source of the type of constituents detected in Monitoring Well No. 2. Again, I look forward to working with you cooperatively in this matter, and expect to hear from you soon regarding the next round of sampling or next phase in the investigation. Thank you for your attention in this matter. Please call me if you have any questions. EMP:lm cc: Mr. Alan Mr. James James L.

Margaret "�' Roberts, Clerk Pitt County Board of Commissioners OFFICE OF THE PITT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS GREENVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA FEBRUARY 21, 1979 The Pitt County Board of Commissioners met in an emergency meeting on Wednesday, February 21, 1979. at 5:15 P. M. in the Law Library of the Pitt County Courthouse, with the following members present: R. L. Martin, Chairman Ed N. Warren, Vice Chairman B. Alton Gardner Charles P.

C. WITN-TV Channel 7 - Washington, N. C. WCTI -TV - Channel 12 - New Bern, N. C. Chairman Martin stated that the purpose of the special called emergency meeting was to consider the disposition of the solid waste, which resulted from a fire at the Coastal Chemical Corporation Plant. Mr. 0. W. Strickland, Director of the Division of Health Services, Solid Waste Control, requested the Board's permission to use the County Landfill on the Allen Road to dispose of the residue left over from the Coastal Chemical Fire. Be said It would require from one half( to three fourths (314) of land to dispose of the solid waste left from the fire. He said that the material would be buried from ten to fourteen feet deep; four feet above the highest water table in a pit lined on the bottom and all sides with a six inch layer of lime. Be said the lime would neutralise any chemical residue. He said the plan calls for three test wells to be installed around the area to monitor the water quality, and stated that all facets of the State Government are in agreement with the proposal to dispose of the contaminated waste. He said that to dispose of this waste would be an expensive and difficult job. He also suggested that an agreement should be made with the people concerned about leaving the site in proper condition after disposing of the solid waste. Chairman Martin asked Mr. Strickland if that portion of the landfill could be used again in the area where the contaminated material will be dumped. Mr. Strickland stated that the material would be placed beside the same burn and filled so it did not interfere with the present plan at the County Landfill. UPON NOTION by Ed N. Warren and seconded by Charles P. Gaskins, the Pitt County Board of Commissioners gave approval for the solid waste of the Coastal Chemical Corporation's fire to be disposed of in the County Landfill located on the Allen Road as recommended by the State Agencies involved, and for the county to aid in any way they can in order to help get the residue disposed of properly. The Board requested Mr. 0. W. Strickland of the Division of Health Services to submit a letter and plan of approval to use the landfill. RRRRfffRR Rf Mr. David Kelly, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, advised the Board that he doubted that there would be any state money available to defray any of the expenses of the clean up operation from the Coastal Chemical Fire. He said that since the contamination problem was on private land, that Coastal Chemical Corporation would be responsible for any cost involved 1n disposing of the waste. UPON MOTION by Ed N. Warren and seconded by Charles P. Gaskins, the Pitt County Board of Commissioners unanimously requested Mr. Kelly to investigate the possibility of receiving some financial relief in disposing of the chemicals and residue from the Coastal Chemical Fire and adopted the following resolution requesting State Financial Assistance in the disposal of toxic solid waste resulting from the fire destroying Coastal Chemical Corporation. RESOLUTION REQUESTING STATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THE DISPOSAL OF TOXIC SOLID WASTE RESULTING FROM THE FIRE DESTROYING COASTAL CHEMICAL CORPORATION. This being a "PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD" involving the safety of the citizens of Pitt County, which requires urgent and immediate attention, and the County is without funds to handle this emergency. It is hereby directed to be forwarded to the Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety. fRRtffff Rf Mr. William Buffalos of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture Pesticide Division, informed the Board that the contaminated water is now contained in dyked areas at the site and presents a greater disposal problem than the solids. He said that the liquids can not be disposed of in the county landfill, and that they are now treating the water to make It more alkaline. He said that a decision on what to do with the liquids would be made after the solid residue has been disposed of. Mr. Buffalos Informed the Board that three options are being considered for disposing of the contaminated run-off. He said that the most expensive option would be to pump the material from the contained areas into a transport vehicle, make a slush of it and haul It away for disposal. The SECOND option, he explained, would be to get the material down in concentration and spread it over suitable waste land so that it will degenerate naturally. The THIRD and least likely possibility would be to deteriorate the chemical in the water to the point that they could slowly release what we have into the natural streams in the area. Mr. Buffalos stated that the ditches are being dug around the dyked areas to carry any rain water away from the contained areas holding the contaminated run off, indicating that additional water coming into the dyked areas would mean more liquid to be disposed of. Mr. Buffaloe expressed to the Commissioners that the County Fire Marshal, Bobby Joyner, did everything he could to avoid excessive water on the site in order to control the fire. It was also noted that the State would be furnishing a pipe to be placed under the highway for water run off :ind that the work would be performed by the Department of Transportation personnel. Chairman Martin asked the Health officials present if they were satisfied with the way the situation was being handled regarding the health problems that the fire may have caused. Willie Pate, Chief Environmental Agent, stated that he is in agreement with the Division of Health Services plan. Dr. Robert Ehinger reported that the cooperation has been excellent from the State and local officials in dealing with the problems created by the fire. He said that he felt that every- thing was safe at this time, and the biggest problem at this time was in disposing of the material. Mr. J. C. WhItehurst, Owner of Coastal Chemical Corporation, told the Board that he would appreciate any help that he could get from the County in disposing of the waste. H. R. Cray, County Manager, stated that the County would provide one piece of equipment on the site, but the company would be responsible for additional special handling cost. The County Manager also stated that Don Davenport, Administrative Assistant to the County Manager, would be the coordinator for the county in disposing of the material. The Board adopted the following resolution Commending Bobby Joyner, the Pitt County Fire Marshal, and to all the various Fire Departments, Rescue Squads, Law Enforcement Agencies, and State Officials, for the efficient manner in which the fire, the evacuation, and the disposal of the waste has been handled. RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION FOR A JOB WELL DONE DURING THE EMERGENCY OF THE COASTAL CHEMICAL FIRE. UPON MOTION by Charles P. Gaskins and seconded by B. Alton Gardner, and by unanimous vote, the Board adopted the following Resolution: The Pitt County Board of Commissioners hereby expresses its appreciation to all the Local and State Agencies that rendered valuable and unselfish assistance in the recent Coastal Chemical Corporation Fire, and especially wishes to thank and commend all of the Volunteer Fire Departments, the Pitt County Fire Marshal, Bobby Joyner; the Pitt County Sheriff's Department, and all other participating fire departments, including the City of Greenville's Fire Department and the Fire Departments outside of Pitt County, and the Greenville Police Department for their prompt and able response to the alarm. The Board of Commissioners also hereby expresses its appreciation to the following local and state agencies for their valuable assistance during this critical time and for the help rendered in preventing the emergency from becoming a disaster: The North Carolina Highway Patrol, News Media, Eating Establishments who contributed food, Greenville and Pitt County School Systems, Gas and Oil Companies who supplied fuel for the fire trucks, North Carolina Department of Agriculture, North Carolina State University , Rescue Squads, Salvation Amy, Red Cross, Volunteers at Evacuation Shelters, Pitt County Health Department, North Carolina Division of Health Services, North Carolina Department of Natural and Economic Resources, Environmental Management Division, Wildlife Resources Commission, The Soil Conservation Service, the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, the Pitt County Manager, the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, East Carolina University Students who helped, Churches and Religious Organi- sations in the County, Greenville Utilities Commission, the Greenville Jaycees, and any others who participated. w RRRR}}R}R Chairman Martin expressed his appreciation to the State and Local Officials for assistance they had given during the crisis. There being no further business, the meeting was recessed until Friday, February 23, 1979. in the Law Library of the Pitt County Courthouse for the purpose of requesting the Board of Elections to call a referendum on Liquor by the Drink. �?GLtwn t.�t Y1i . �'�.t.t�• Margare M.

The alternatives for the disposal of this volume of solid waste are limited. Representatives of the North Carolina Departments of Agriculture, Human Resources, and Natural Resources and Cofnmunity Development, the Pitt County Health Department, and the Environ- mental Protection Agency agreed that landfillirg was the best available alternative. The best available si'es fcr disposal in the area were .the Voice of America Site at Bell Arthur, v'ico was used for the disposal of debris from the Royster Company of Farmville fire in 1971, and the Pitt County Landfill on Allen Road (S.R. 1203). The consensus of the conferees was that although -the VOA Site was superior for disposal weather conditions had rendered it inaccessible. While the er.gine,:ring plans for the Allen Road site indicated the subsurface conditions were less Iavorable than the VOA Site, a field investigation showed that the pervieability of the clayey subsurface was in fact quite adequate for the purpose of disposal of the contaminated solid waste. A plan for the design and operation for the disposal of the contaminated solid waste (see attached letter and diagram) was formulated by representatives of the Department of Human Resources and the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. The agreement to the plan by this office was based on (1) the subsurface iithology, (2) the depth to the water (3) the six i 9he5 thiz lino Ij_ne r, and (4) the unJeistan ing that tho enlia was,* wac te consist of building rubble L.soil from the fire site, and er,pt roduct containers. _ M ' "___ �• o� s�� mrsa f ~' March�1, 1979 w The plan and a request for use of the Allen Road Site were presented to and F•. adopted by the Pitt County Board.of Commissioners. �1+' •As with many plans, the transition from the drawing board to the imple- mentation reveals a number of problems. Primary among the problems which arose during. the implementation of the disposal plan were, in chronological c_- order: (1) the mainteance of the integrity of the lime liner, (2) the condition and con--ents of containers, 3) a misunderstanding of the components !' of "solid residue," and (4) the effects of the weather. The emplacement of a six -inches -thick lime liner in the bottom and on the sides of a diked landfill cell is an inprecise operation. Uniformity of thickness is almost impossible to achieve; therefore, every effort was made to insure that the minimum thickness was six inches. The operation of a thirty- two -ton compactor equipped with approximately four -inches -high triangular studs on its wheels over the lime liner precludes the maintenance of the integrity of the liner. In attempt to rectify this problem and absorb residual water in some of the debris, a lime layer was placed within the beds of the trucks transporting the debris. Y With arrival of the first debris at the landfill site, it became evident that the integrity of a number of the containers was relatively unaffected by the r � fire and/or loading operations. An undetermined number of plastic jugs arrived �' full ofi product with only the label damaged or missing. A number of five -gallon steel cons containing varying amoun s o product arrived in a similar condition, Requests by representatives of the Department of.l'uman Resources and the Depart- ment of Natural Resoruces and Community Development supervising the landfilling operations for greater effort in rupturing the product containers at the fire site greatly reduced this problem. A third problem arose when a misunderstanding as to the composition of "solid J f1 residue" was discovered. It was not the understanding of this office that ' l approximately thirty-eight tons of untreated, granulated "Mocap" and "Mocap �( plus" were to be placed in the landfill. A conference between representatives of the Department of Agriculture, Department of Human Resources, and the Department of Natural Resources a-i� Co=unity Development modified the operations plan to have the granulated -. ld -t placed in one area of the landfill cell and interla_yerr and encapsulated :ii .n lime. The greatest of all the problems which arose during implementation of the landfilling plan was the rain. The snow of the eighteenth had brought the soils in 'che rrea to maximum saturation. This in itself presented prcDle^s in p•re;ara- tic., of the landfill cell and access to it, but the rains that occurred at the v.eek's end made implementation of the operations plan impossible. The lime liner and the irterlayering and encapsulating of the granulated products both pr,..!:,r.-d a slurry. In order to produce as dry a material as possible, greater quantities of lime were added both in the bed and covering debris in the trucks. The increased quantity of lime necessitated increasing the length of the lan�fill cell. In addition to the size of the cell, provisions for controlling surface runoff were made in the form of dikes, ditches, and impoundments (see attache:: fill== L. :ie}ez Enclosure �. 'lt,. :•f'e-,.. _-;+'_- .n_,.: . .- �LJ�i`s''-.:i'� s_.::�•s-.�>-" - - - ice":'% _ .�tn ss- TM Mr �` H. Vance Holt I ", Page 3 Memo March 1, 1979 _ �f :'•:°* diagPam). The construction of a Swale and dike between the landfill cell and the toe of the completed landfill cell to the east, diverted runoff toward =•x an existing drainage way. To the western side of the cell, a dike was {Y� constructed from the existing north dike southwestward to an existing swale above the existing hesterr, Canal, thereby intercepting and diverting runoff �• :�..; from approximately five acres. The existing West6rn Canal was cross -diked to create three impoundments with a capacity of approximately one acre foot. The adequacy of the runoff controls was demonstrated durinn the weekend of 24-25 February when three inches of rain fell. Considering that the runoff from approximately eight acres had to be controlled, an estimated 0.2 acre feet was impounded while an estimated 1.8 acre feet was diverted. The rains also added to the problems at the fire site, for on the morning of 26 February it was necessary to construct a diked area adjacent to the south or open end of the cell to accommodate eighteen loads of slurry. The cell and diked area have not been capped in an attempt to "dry" the "solid waste" prior to completing the landfilling operations. Also plans have not been formulated as yet for the disposal of the impounded water.on the site. The success of the containment of the contained materials within the landfill cell wil-1 be dependent on the amount of water than can be removed by evaporation. The cell design after capping should minimize infiltration; the plan for collection and diversion of runoff from and adjacent to the cell should minimize infiltration from this quarter, Therefore, the amount of water contained within the cell will be the key minimizing the possibility of seepage along the toe of the cell. If the slurry in the diked area and the waste presently in the cell can be "Dried", then seepage should not occur, The expertise and cooperation of all the personnel fro^1 the various agencies and companies involved has been demonstrated on m,-•ny occasions during this operation. The most exemplery and commendable expertise and cooperation were shown at the landfill site by the personnel from the contractor, the Lewis Compa;.y of Bethel, Bil_1 Morris and Fred Woed of the Department of Human Resources - Solid Waste and Vector Control Brar=n. :.id persornel from the Pitt County agencies. cc: Mr. If.

Crump Special Deputy Attorney General Department of Justice Corner of Fayetteville and Morgan Sts. Raleigh, NC 27611 Dear Mr. Crump: October 16, 1979- On February 19-20, 1979, a fire destroyed the office -warehouse building at the Coastal Chemical Corporation near Greenville, North Carolina. The fire.:resulted in pesticide contaminated debris estimated at one thousand cubic yards. The Pesticide Emergency Reaction Team, established in 1974 and involving those state agencies concerned with potential pesticide problems during such an emergency,was activated and arrived in Greenville in the after- noon of February 19th. During the next eleven da;s the Team members _ served as on -scene advisors to coordinate in cooperation with Mr. J. C. Whitehurst, Jr., owner, the extensive cleanup operation carried out by Coastal Chemical Corporation. Cleanup was complicated by a ten inch (plus) snow on the ground at the time of the fire and by heavy rainfall which followed. Efforts to contain and detoxify approximately one million gallons of water used to fight the fire were initiated at once. Had the cleanup of contaminated debris not been initiated expeditiously, the subsequent runoff from rainfall and melting snow would have resulted in considerable contamination of the nearby canal, Fork Swamp East Branch, Swift Creek and the Neuse River below Greenville. If such had been the =73 , significant adverse effects on the environment would have been likely. Throughout the postfire operations the Emergency Reaction Team advised Mr. Whitehurst as to the steps they felt were necessary for cleaning up the resulting contamination. Coastal Chemical Corporation cooperated with the Team and provided the funds required to implement recommended cleanup anal disposal procedures. Again, we feel that the cleanup actions taken by Mr. David S. Crump Page 2 October 16, 1979 Coastal Chemical Corporation were necessary and proper for the protection of the environment. Ncnetheless, a question has since been raised as to whether or not Mr. Whitehurst was legally responsible for paying the cleanup costs. We have been advised that a decision on Mr. Whitehurst's insurance claims is being held up pending resolution of this question. in an effort to determine the extent of Mr.-Whitehurst's legal responsi- bilities, our staff has reviewed the North Carolina Pesticide Law of 1971, the Federal Insecticide, F:irgicide, and Rodenticide Act, as amended (FIFRA), and respective regulations. For your. convenience, we have marked and enclosed sections which we believe speak to this subject. We would request that you provide us your interpretation at your earliest opportunity. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any assistance to you. WBB:bhg Enclosures 0 Sincerely, William B. Buffaloe Pesticide Administrator REPORT ON DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE FROM COASTAL CHEMICAL FIRE By: Billy W. Morris, District Sanitarian Solid Waste Management Unit Solid Waste & Vector Control Branch The Pitt County Landfill on Allen Road (S.R. 1203) was chosen for the disposal of solid material remaining from the Coastal Chemical Company fire of February 19, 1979. This site was chosen because it is within close proximity of the fire site and provided us with a reasonable haul distance. More importantly, the site consisted of highly impermeable clay material that provides protection for the ground water in the area. Also the access road formerly used by Pitt County to the site was in good condition and would require only a minimum amount of improvement. A meeting was arranged for February 23 to present a disposal plan and ask permission of the Pitt County Commissioners for use of their site. T►;e plan had previously been discussed and agreed upon by all State, County, and Federal agencies involved in the fire clear. -up. The Board of Corn—missioners accepted the plan and gave unanimous approval for use of the site. They also offered their Rex 350 Trash Compactor and operator to assist in the disposal project. The Department of Transportation, Highway Division made the necessary improvements & the access road on February 22, 1979. This included reriovir,a snow and mud and applying sand. After estimating the amount of waste to be disposed of, a disposal plan (copy attached) was drawn. This consisted of a cell 60' x 100' and approxi- mately 5' deep. The cell was constructed of on -site clay using a TD-2.0 bulldozer. The cell walls and floor were then lined with 6" of lime. E. R. Lewis Con- struction Company of Bethel, N. C. was contracted by Coastal Chemical Company to do the cell construction. Disposal operations were begun on Friday, February 23,and continued through the weekend until completion on Monday, February 26. Some 4 to 5 ir.cFes of rain fell during this period of time. This along with the already i•.et site conditions made landfilling very difficult. The waste was hauled in tandem dump trucks operated by E. R. Le%,,is Con- struction Company. Coastal Chemical also used two of their single axle dump trucks. 4'e a:ere forced to remove the tailgates from all the trucks in order to dump the material. The bulky steel that was part of the building frame could not be dumped any other r;ay.. These steel girders also caused problems for the landfill equipment. The windshield of the Rex Trashmaster .:as broken when the wheel threw a piece of steel up in an attempt to compact the waste. Fortunately the operator escaped without injury. In my opinion, the steel should not have been disposed of in the landfill. It should have been salvaged by a metal recycling firm.

Vie were unable to cet a piece of equipment on top to compact and cover. We were also unsuccessful in attempting to apply a plastic cover on the cell. This was primarily because of the jagged, bulky steel waste that we were unable to compact. We then decided to reinforce the cell dikes with more clay and allow the site to dry before applying the final cover at a later date. .Another problem encountered at the landfill site was that of liquid waste. This liquid waste was the result of washing the truck bodies and landfilling equipment at the site. We were forced to dam several thousand gallons of contaminated water that later had to be treated. The equipment should have been washed at the burn site where an impoundment of contaminated water was already established. We were not able to begin application of the final cover on the cell until March 28. Even then it was necessary to pump off several hundred gallons of contaminated liquid before any cover material could be applied. This liquid was put in the impoundment at the plant site. The cell was still so wet that we had to use a Drott 35 hydraulic shovel to place cover material on the cell. We were unable to obtain good cor'.pac- tion using,this method and some settling has taken place. We will have to go back to the site in the near future to compact and grade the top to facilitate surface water runoff. We will also need to apply topsoil and establish a good growth of vegetation to prevent erosion. /7 State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Washington Regional Office James B.

Dickerson ,AMES B. NLNT,R- Pitt County Engineer I GOVERNOR Pitt County Office Building 1717 West Fifth Street Greenville, N.C. 27834 WAYNE MCDEVITT Re: Semiannual Water Quality Sampling Requirements for the Northern SECRETARY Portion of the Pitt County Landfill (Permit #74-01). Dear Mr. Dickerson, WILLIAM L. MEYER DIRECTOR According to our telephone conversation yesterday I have attached two letters that may help clarify the sampling requirements for the northern portion of the closed Pitt County landfill. The December 27, 1994 letter specifies the sampling points and analyses. This letter also explains that the semiannual sampling events for the northern portion of the facility can be conducted simultaneously with the southern Subtitle D cell to prevent duplication of samples. Subsequent letters have modified the required analytical methods. The April 8, 1997 letter discusses the installation of five new wells to the monitoring system to 1) acquire data on both the vertical and horizontal ground water flow, 2) to determine the continuity of the "gray clay" layer beneath the site and 3) establish true upgradient monitoring stations for the northern portion of the landfill. With the additions to the monitoring system the Section did not see the need to continue collecting samples on a routine basis from monitoring points P-14, P-15, P-25, P-26, MW-2A and MW2B because of their proximity to waste. After the initial data was collected on the above items 1-3, the Section did not require samples to be taken from the two new deeper upgradient wells. Additionally, MW-2 was abandoned. In summary, the following monitoring points should be sampled on a semiannual basis for the northern portion of the landfill (this is not meant to exclude previously approved monitoring requirements for the southern portion): MW-1, MW-3, P-1, P-2, P-4, P-5, P-6, P-7, P-9, P-13, P-16, P-21, P-23, the two new upgradient shallow wells and the new downgradient well nested with P-13. Pre -approved surface water locations should also be sampled. Potentiometric data should be collected on all wells at the site during each sampling episode and a potentiometric map submitted with each semiannual data package. 401 OBERLIN ROAD, SUITE 150, RALEIQH, NC 27605 PHONE 919-733-4996 FAX 919-715-3605 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER -50q RECYCLED/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER If the County desires to drop or add monitoring points to the semiannual sampling routine, please submit proposals to the Solid Waste Section for evaluation and approval.

Dear Mr. Dickerson, Based on information obtained during the transition plan investigation the groundwater monitoring system for the closed unit does not allow for adequate monitoring of the curflcial aquifer. The newly Installed wells, as part of the transition plan, will provide a more accurate representation of water quality in this zone. After review of the data from the new wells and existing monitoring wells the following is necessary to further characterize the site: • Establish a numbering system which includes the new wells. • Sample the following wells semi-annually to establish an upgradient and a downgradient water quality baseline for comparative purposes: MW-I, MW2, MW-3, P-1, P-2, P-4, P-5, P-6, P-7, P-9, P-13, P-14, P-15, P-16, P-21, P-23, P-25, P-26. Reflnement of the monitoring system may be warranted at a later date when the hydrogeologic environment is better understood. • Coordinate closed cell sampling events with the active cell sampling events to eliminate repetitive sampling of wells along the railroad track. • Analyze the samples utilizing EPA methods 507, 531.1 and for the constituents on the attached lists. • Notify the Section two weeks prior to any sampling events so arrangements can be made to split samples with the County's sampling contractor.

Hunt, Jr., Governor E H N Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary William L. Meyer, Director December 27, 1994 Mr. Alfred M. Moncla Groundwater Management Associates, Inc. 101-E Woodwinds Industrial Court Cary, North Carolina 27511 RE: (Revised) Water Quality Monitoring Plan For The Active Southern Unit Of The Pitt County Landfill (Permit # 74-01) Dear Mr. Moncla, The Solid Waste Section has reviewed the above referenced document submitted to our office December 6, 1994. While overall the Monitoring Plan is good, there are several changes and additions that the Section feels are necessary. Well P-16 is proposed as a background well between the closed landfill unit and the active landfill unit. This well appears to serve this purpose if there is sufficient water to provide a representative water quality sample at all seasons of the year. There is some concern about this since well P-16 only has a three foot well screen and about four feet of water in the well. The Section is approving the use of this well for detection monitoring with the understanding that if the well is not able to provide a representative sample then the well will need to be replaced or supplemented with a deeper monitoring well. An additional background monitoring well is needed to monitor background water quality for the site. Well P-4 should be added to the detection monitoring system to serve this purpose. The Solid Waste Section feels that additional downgradient wells are needed to effectively monitor the active unit. Well P-12 should be added to the detection monitoring system. A deeper monitoring well should be established to create a well cluster at location P-20. The deeper well should screen the first substantial sand unit that is deeper than the existing shallow well P-20. P.O.

If the stratigraphy is such that a five foot screen is necessary to isolate the uppermost water bearing sand unit then the well may be constructed as proposed. Generally the Section prefers well screens of 10 to 15 feet for shallow monitoring wells. Therefore a well screen of greater than the proposed five feet should be used if the hydrogeologic conditions allow for the use of a longer screen. Several of the wells to be included in the detection monitoring system have screen lengths less than ten feet. If at anytime there is an insufficient water column in any of these wells to provide a representative water quality sample, then the wells will need to be replaced or supplemented with additional wells. To summarize, the groundwater detection monitoring system being approved by the Solid Waste Section is to include wells P-4, P-12, P-16, P-20, P-20 deep, P-28, and MW-6. The Water Quality Monitoring Plan proposes to base the groundwater flow equipotential map only on wells in the detection monitoring system. Since other wells are located in the vicinity of the active cell that would provide a more detailed equipotential map potentiometric data should also be collected from these other wells. Potentiometric data should be collected from the following wells in addition to the wells in the groundwater detection monitoring system approved above: P-1, P-5, P-6, P-11, P-14, P-17, P-18, P-19, and P-21. Table 8 and Appendix V reference method 6010 for analysis of several metals for which this is a method that is not approved by the Solid Waste Section. The June 24, 1994, memo to landfill owners and operators references low level certification methods are to be used to analyze most of the Appendix I metals, including: Beryllium, Chromium, Cobalt, Silver, and Vanadium. Therefore graphite furnace methods must be used to do the analysis for these metals (in addition to the other metals requiring low level certification methods). Based upon our records the Chemical and Environmental Technology Laboratory is not certified at this time for low level metals analysis for Beryllium, Cobalt, or Vanadium. All wells installed must meet the N.C. Well Construction Standards, 15A NCAC 2C. Page 3 The Solid Waste Section gives conditional approval of the Water Quality Monitoring Plan according to the comments and conditions referenced in this letter. you may proceed with the installation of the additional monitoring wells (P-28 and P-20deep) and with the groundwater and surface water quality monitoring according to the se schedule in the Water Quality Monitoring0692iflyou have any ontact the questions Solid Waste Section at (919) 73 regarding this letter.

Fifth Street Greenville, North Carolina 27834 RE: Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan Pitt County Landfill Borrow near Greenville - Pitt County Date Received: October 17, 1994 Responsible Party: County of Pitt Dear Mr. Dickerson: This office has completed its review of the erosion and sedimentation control plan for the referenced project. The project is the excavation of landfill capping material affecting 45 acres of field adjacent to the landfill. Based upon the information provided, we find the plan to be acceptable and hereby issue this LETTER OF APPROVAL with the following modifications. 1. The slope of the excavation areas must be at an angle which can be recovered by vegetative cover. 2. If a pond is to be left, it must have an average depth of 4 feet at seasonal low. This is to prevent the pond from becoming foul, noxious or odious. The Sedimentation Pollution Control Act requires the owner/de•reloper to use appropriate methods for the protection of adjoining natural resources and properties, both during and after construction, from the effects of accelerated erosion. This program is performance oriented. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the requirements of the Act. 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington, North Carolina 27889 Telephone 919-946-6481 FAX 919-975-3716 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper County of Pitt ATTN: Mr. Phil Dickerson, County Engineer October 31, 1994 Page 2 The following minimal mandatory standards of the Act are hereby made a part of the approved plan: -- a copy of the latest approved soil erosion and control plan must be on file at the job site; a buffer zone, sufficient to restrain sedimentation, must be maintained between the land -disturbing activity and any adjacent property or watercourse; -- new or affected slopes must be at an angle that can be retained by vegetative cover and exposed slopes must be provided with a ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion within 30 working days of completion of any phase (rough or final) of grading (RYE GRASS IS NOT in the approved seeding specifications nor is it an ACCEPTABLE substitute for the providing of a ground cover); and a permanent ground cover, sufficient to restrain erosion, must be provided within the shorter of 30 working or 120 calendar days after completion of construction or development. Be advised that unannounced periodic inspections of the project will be made to ensure compliance with the approved plan and the program requirements. If the plan and/or its implementation is determined to be inadequate, this office may require that it be revised to comply with state law. Failure to comply with the approved plan or with any requirements of this program or to affect areas in other than to those designated to be affected in the approved plan, could result in a civil penalty assessment of up to $500 per day for each day the site is out of compliance against the financially responsible party (County of Pitt). In recognizing the desirability of early coordination of sedimentation control, we believe it would be beneficial for you and your contractor to arrange a pre -construction conference to discuss the requirements of the approved erosion and sedimen- tation control plan. It would be appreciated if you would contact this office to let me know the date of construction start-up and the date of the pre -construction conference.

This area was in compliance with closure requirements found in Section .0501 of the N.C. Solid Waste Management Rules that were in effect at that time. Numerous test holes were bored and checked to confirm the final cover depth. The site was inspected again on October 6, 1994 and was found to be in satisfactory condition with a good vegetative cover in place over most areas. There are a couple of areas where some maintenance needs to be performed. This is a normal occurrence and was discussed with John Weaver and H.C. Kinsaul of your staff.

Pitt County shall contact the Regional Waste Management Specialist, Mr. Bill Morris, at (919) 946-6481, on or before October 24, 1994, to conduct an inspection of this unit for compliance with the above conditions. 8. Upon successful inspection by the Section's representative, Pitt County will provide written notification and certification to the Section that the unit complies with the closure conditions. 9. Documentation of the above shall be submitted in a format to allow incorporation into the Transition Plan previously submitted to the Section and currently under review and revision. All disposal sites, either operating or closed, are subject to the applicable explosive gas requirements, surface water requirements, and ground water requirements, of the Solid Waste Management Rules. Facility Transition Plan and Application for Transfer Facility The landfill unit south of the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks continued to receive waste after October 9, 1993. As such, this facility is subject to the Transition Plan and Closure Requirements of 15A NCAC 13B .1617(d). The Transition Plan shall be revised to document the closed status of the north unit and shall reflect plans for ongoing operations and eventual closure of the south unit. It is the Section's understanding that the south unit will close upon reaching current permitted capacity and that Pitt County will submit plans for constructing and operating a transfer facility for continuing waste management activities. If the proposed transfer facility is to be located within the boundary of the currently permitted facility, the plans for the transfer facility should be included in the Transition Plan revisions. In view of the limited remaining capacity at the current facility, the Section will expedite the review of Transition Plan revisions and Transfer Facility submittals. Early submittal of Transfer Facility plans and review documents will help facilitate the Section's review.

Wright Environmental Engineer Subject: Pitt County Landfill Transition Plan Methane Gas Monitoring Permit No. 74-01 SOLID WASTE BUILDING INSPECTIONS Dear Ms. Wright: In accordance with your request by letter dated August 11, 1994, we have revised the Methane Gas Control paragraphs of SECTION 6 of the Pitt County Landfill Transition Plan. Please remove page OP9 and substitute the attached pages OP9, OP9A, and OP9B. Please insert the attached Methane Gas Monitoring Well Detail at the end of SECTION 6. If additional information is needed, please advise us. JTW\pmk Enclosures 4Your very truly, i J hn T. Weaver, Jr. E vironmental Engineer Recycled Paper Cover Material: OP9 1/ Daily cover at the Pitt County Landfill will consist of fabric cover approved by the Division. At least once a week, all exposed waste will be covered with at least six (6) inches of earthen material. Areas which will not receive additional waste for twelve months or more shall be temporarily covered with at least one foot of soil cover. Areas which will receive no additional waste shall be covered within 180 days with final cover as shown on the plans. Daily, intermediate, and final cover shall at all times be graded as not to hold water, and depressions shall be filled as they appear. Methane Gas Control: The intent of the methane gas monitoring program is to: (1) ensure that the concentration of methane as generated by the landfill does not exceed 25% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane in any facility structure and to (2) ensure that the concentration of methane gas does not exceed the lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane at the landfill property boundary. In order to fulfill the requirement of (1) above, seven (7) DICON 800H methane gas detectors will be installed within the structures on the landfill property. Detectors will be located in toilets, tool room, office, service garage and storage areas. Detectors will be installed high on the walls in landfill structures since methane is lighter than air and will rise to the top of the space if present. Detectors will sound an alarm if the concentration of methane in the detection chamber reaches 25% of lower explosive limit. Gas detectors will not be installed in landfill structures which are on foundation blocks above the ground with the crawl space not enclosed. If the concentration of methane exceeds 25% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) in any landfill structure, the landfill operator will take the action described at the end of this section. In order to accomplish the intent of (2) above, permanent gas monitoring wells will be constructed at locations shown on enclosure (3) at approximate 500 foot intervals except where perimeter drainage ditches are present. It is anticipated that any methane gas reaching a perimeter ditch will be dissipated into the air at the slope. Each gas monitoring well will consist of a 6 inch minimum diameter bore hole down to the level of groundwater. A 111 slotted PVC pipe casing will be installed in the bore hole with the bottom end plugged and the upper end fitted with a bentonite seal around the casing at grade level. A gravel pack filter will surround the 1" casing for its entire length below the bentonite seal. The casing will be slotted for its entire length within the gravel pack. The upper end of the casing will be capped 34" above grade and will be protected by a steel outer casing with hinged cover and locking hasp. The outer protective steel casing will be set in a cast -in -place concrete cap at grade level above the bentonite seal. The concrete thick and 24 inches diameter with protective casing. A schematic of is shown on enclosure (9). A more at the end of this section. OP9A cap will be approximately 1211 top sloping away from the a proposed gas monitoring well detailed diagram is attached Readings will be taken quarterly at the gas monitoring locations with a Gastechtor Model 1939 surveyor. The instrument is a dual range hydrocarbon surveyor for 0-100% lower explosive limit (LEL) and 0-100% methane by volume. Indications of the instrument are displayed on a meter, visible through a window on the top face of the instrument case. On LEL, the meter reads gas concentration 0-100% LEL where 100o LEL represents the minimum concentration of gas in air below which propagation of flame does not occur when placed in contact with an ignition source. The alarm on the instrument will sound if the reading rises above 20% LEL. The Gastechtor Model 1939 surveyor is calibrated by allowing the instrument to warm up for about 5 minutes to stabilize. With the upper half of the case removed and inverted for access to the COARSE ZERO potentiometer and LEL SPAN potentiometer, turn COARSE ZERO potentiometer to bring meter reading to zero. For LEL range calibration, insert sample inlet tube into a vessel of known calibrating gas. Observe meter and note highest reading. If reading is incorrect, adjust LEL SPAN potentiometer to give desired reading. Readings will be taken at gas monitoring locations by unlocking cap on outer protective casing, removing PVC casing cap, inserting sample inlet tube in PVC casing, and observing LEL scale on instrument. Quarterly readings at gas monitoring locations will be recorded if any indication is observed on the LEL scale. If the concentration of methane gas exceeds the lower explosive limit for methane at the landfill property boundary or if the concentration of methane exceeds 25% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) in any landfill structure, the landfill operator must: 1) Immediately take all necessary steps to protect human health including: a) Notify the Division of Solid Waste Management b) Notify affected property owners and/or tenants im- mediately in person or by telephone and follow up with written notification by registered mail. c) Evacuate any structures if necessary. 2) Prepare and implement a remediation plan within sixty (60) days, place a copy of the plan in the landfill's operating record, and notify the Division of Solid Waste Management that the plan has been implemented. .... ,.am :.i.-,.v,.....: .,.... ..... ... ,, _ t ... _ . . _ .._..........:.....,.......... ,:.. .,.. s.:.xk..i3-`.iw4iy;lti5'ti".'S.9iX:LS�'.a...

Coffey Supervisor, Permitting Branch Solid Waste Section Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Post Office Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Dear Mr. Coffey: SOLID WASTE BUUAING INSPEMONS I have received your letter dated August 24, 1994 relating to the northern portion of the Pitt County Landfill, and have circulated copies to the Board of Commissioners and the County's counsel. We believe that the letter is based on incorrect information. The second paragraph of your letter states that "the area north of the railroad tracks that is proposed for a vertical expansion is a discrete area that is not an existing MSWLF unit" because the area did not receive solid waste prior to October 9, 1993. This statement is incorrect for at least two reasons. First, the northern portion of the landfill did receive solid waste prior to October 9, 1993. We would be happy to provide evidence to substantiate this fact. In addition, the County takes issue with the Division's conclusion that the northern portion of the landfill is a "discrete" area. The railroad track is merely an easement that does not have the effect of turning the Pitt County Landfill into two separate facilities. In fact, both the County and the State have always treated the landfill as a single unit, as is evidenced by the attached documents. Therefore, the County believes that it is inappropriate and unfair under such facts and after such a course of conduct to treat one portion of the landfill as discrete and separate from another. The County is very concerned about the Division's August 24 letter, since the State has had possession of the County's Transition Plan since July 21, 1992, as evidenced by your August 25, 1992 letter, yet never raised any question until August 24, 1994 as to whether vertical expansion was permissible. Because of the importance and urgency of resolving this point, we would like to meet with you and other appropriate officials of the Division at Recycled Paper James C. Coffey September 1, 1994 Page 2 your earliest convenience. Please let me know when such a meeting can be arranged. In view of the deadlines involved, we hope that the meeting can take place right away. Sincerely, Phil G. Dickerson, P.E. Enclosure CC: Pamela Weaver Best, Esq. William G. Ross, Jr., Esq. Robert J.

Pitt County Engineering Department 1717 West Fifth Street Greenville, NC 27834 RE: Proposed Vertical Expansion, Pitt County Landfill Transition Plan, Permit No. 74-01 Mr. Dickerson: The Solid Waste Section (the "Section") has begun a technical review of the Pitt County Landfill Transition Plan. This involves comparing the requirements of Rule .1617(d) with the submitted transition plan. A preliminary review of the gas monitoring section of the operations plan and resulting comments have been sent to you. After further review of the transition plan and discussions with the Section's Field Operations Branch, it has been determined that the area proposed for vertical expansion is not an existing unit. According to 15A NCAC 13B .1602(7), an "existing MSWLF unit" means any municipal solid waste landfill unit that is receiving solid waste as of October 9, 1993. The area north of the railroad tracks that is proposed for a vertical expansion is a discrete area that is not an existing MSWLF unit and therefore this area can not be vertically expanded. Although Rule .1625(a)(1)(D) allows existing MSWLF units which will reach permitted capacity prior to October 9, 1996 to apply for a vertical expansion, the existing unit (south of the railroad tracks) will soon be out of capacity. Pitt County needs to consider other options for the disposal of their waste. Once Pitt County has decided on an option (continued disposal or closing), the transition plan must be revised accordingly. The Solid Waste Section is available to discuss this matter. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our office at (919) 733-0692. Sincerely, . cc-i" mes C.

Fifth Street Grrenville, N.C. 27834 RE: Interim Review Of Water Quality Monitoring Transition Plan Pitt County Landfill, Permit # 74-01 Dear Mr. Dickerson, There is limited time available for the Solid Waste Section to review and evaluate the Water Quality Monitoring Plan submitted as part of the Transition Plan. It is not possible to do a full technical review of this plan at this time. Based on the preliminary review of the Pitt County Water Quality Monitoring Plan, it appears that no monitoring system upgrade has yet been proposed. While the Solid Waste Section does not object to the county conducting additional hydrogeologic investigation in order to design an effective monitoring system, this investigation should have been done in the preparation for the Transition Plan. If this investigation has not yet been done, it should be done immediately. The new Solid Waste Management Rules for MSWLF units require that the monitoring system be upgraded and the initial baseline sampling event be conducted and reported to the Solid Waste Section on or before October 9, 1994. It is critical that Pitt County submit a Water Quality Monitoring Plan in time for the Solid Waste Section to give approval and allow the county time to install the wells and perform the initial baseline sampling and process the sampling data prior to the October 9, 1994, deadline.

Calibration Procedures 1.0 INTRODUCTION Pitt County proposes to collect and analyze groundwater and surface water samples to further characterize the quality of groundwater and surface water at the northern unit of the inactive Pitt County municipal solid waste landfill located west of Allen Road. The North Carolina Solid Waste Section (NCSWS) requested further characterization of the water quality in the surficial aquifer at the northern unit in a letter dated December 27, 1994 (Appendix I). An Administrative Agreement on Consent between Pitt County and the NCSWS for the investigation of the quality of groundwater and surface water in the vicinity of the landfill was executed on January 18, 1995. 2.0 OBJECTIVE The data quality objectives of this plan are to characterize the quality of groundwater and surface water in the vicinity of the northern unit of the landfill. Groundwater samples will be collected from wells specified by the NCSWS in their December 27, 1994, letter. Surface water samples will be collected both upgradient and downgradient of the landfill. A water sample will also be collected from the on - site, water -supply well. All sampling will be coordinated with the semiannual monitoring of the southern unit of the landfill. The water samples will be analyzed by methods required by the NCSWS in their letter dated December 27, 1994, and by other methods selected by Pitt County. These other methods are chosen to target known or suspected contaminants based on past analytical results and known waste deposited in the northern unit. An attempt will be made to locate all private water -supply wells within one-half mile of the landfill. 3.0 SCOPE OF WORK The scope of this proposed investigation includes the following activities: • Collect and analyze surface water samples from 4 locations. • Collect and analyze groundwater samples from 18 monitoring wells. • Collect and analyze a water sample from the on -site water -supply well. • Determine the elevations of 2 wells which have not been surveyed. • Measure the depth to water in all 18 monitoring wells. TAF\d: \taf\Pitt\samplan. doc Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 2 of 15 October 17, 1995 • Attempt to locate all private water -supply wells within one-half mile of landfill. 4.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The inactive Pitt County municipal solid waste landfill facility occupies approximately 150 acres west of Allen Road (NCSR 1203) and one mile west of the City of Greenville (Figures 1 and 2). The east -west trending Norfolk -Southern Railroad separates the 54-acre northern waste unit from the 25-acre southern waste unit. A 2.5-acre asbestos waste unit lies east of the southern unit. An office building, garages, aboveground fuel tanks, scales for weighing trucks, and a water -supply well are located at the entrance to the landfill, which is at the east end of the facility. A yard -waste processing area and a tire shredder are located at the southeastern portion of the landfill. 5.0 WASTE DISPOSAL HISTORY The Pitt County municipal solid waste landfill began receiving waste at the eastern end of the northern waste unit in 1974. Additional waste cells were added towards the west until 1990 when the entire northern unit was closed. The southern unit received waste from 1990 to 1995. Pitt County is currently capping the southern unit. The landfill is now used as a receiving station where waste is unloaded and then loaded onto trailers. The trailers are then hauled to a municipal solid waste landfill in another County. 6.0 PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS Pitt County and various regulatory agencies have performed groundwater and related monitoring at the landfill at different times. Based on one or more sets of analytical results, the following points are indicated: Shallow groundwater at the landfill is slightly acidic and contains elevated concentrations of iron and manganese. Fluoride was detected at elevated concentrations in the water -supply well. Contaminants have been detected in shallow groundwater in the northern portion of the landfill. Contaminants include low concentrations of volatile and semivolatile organic compounds, low concentrations of 2,4-D (a pesticide), Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 3 of 15 October 17, 1995 arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, and mercury. Tentatively identified contaminants may include other pesticides. Subsurface vapors contain volatile organic compounds. 7.0 FIELD QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES Field Quality Assurance Procedures (FQAP) are implemented to assure that data collected in the field are representative and valid. The FQAP will include: instrument calibration collection of duplicate samples, equipment and field blanks, and use of trip blanks documentation of sampling procedure. 7.1 Calibration All instruments used in the field will be calibrated prior to use. Evidence of calibration will be documented on the instrument calibration form. The recorded information will include: • calibration time and date • instrument identification number • calibration standard used • results of calibration • calibrator's signature. Instruments which will be used at the site include a photo -ionization detector, a flame -ionization detector, an explosimeter, a water multimeter (measures pH, temperature, and conductivity), and a turbidity meter. Calibration instructions are attached in Appendix II. 7.2 Quality Control Samples Duplicate samples, field blanks and equipment blanks will be collected and trip blanks will be used to determine the quality of the environmental samples collected in the field. Duplicate samples are used for the purpose of checking the precision of the laboratory analyses. A duplicate sample will be collected from the same sampling interval at the same time. A portion of one sample bottle and then a portion of one Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 4 of 15 October 17, 1995 duplicate bottle will be filled. This procedure is repeated until both bottles are full. The exception is when collecting water for volatile organic analysis. In this case, the sample bottles will be first filled completely and then the duplicate bottles will be filled. Alternately partially filling the sample bottles and duplicate bottles will cause the loss of volatiles. A minimum of one duplicate will be collected for every day of sample collection. An equipment blank will be collected to determine the effectiveness of the decontamination procedure. This blank is prepared by pouring distilled/deionized organic -free water over each piece of decontaminated sampling equipment and catching the rinsate in a stainless steel bowl. The rinsate will then be transferred into the appropriate sample containers and analyzed for the same parameters as the samples being collected that day. An equipment blank will be collected for each day of sample collection. Equipment blanks will not be collected during well development. A field blank will be collected to determine if there is air -transported contamination occurring during the sampling. Field blanks consist of the appropriate sample containers filled with distilled/deionized organic -free water. The caps of the field blanks are removed during the sample collection at one of the wells, thereby exposing the field blank to any air -transported contaminants. Extra sample containers filled with distilled/deionized organic -free water will be available for use in replacing any water lost from the field blanks during the procedure. The caps are replaced after completion of the sampling event. The samples will be analyzed for volatile and semivolatile organic compounds. One field blank will be collected each day of sampling. Trip blanks will be used to determine whether samples are contaminated by volatile organics during transportation of the samples. The trip blanks will accompany each sample shipment where one or more of the samples are being analyzed for volatile organics. These blanks are prepared in the laboratory by filling a 40 ml volatile organic analysis (VOA) bottle with distilled/deionized organic -free water. 7.3 Documentation Accurate documentation is important for the success of the field sampling program. Proper documentation includes accurately recording a particular sampling time, date, location, and depth. Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 5 of 15 October 17, 1995 7.3.1 Field Logbooks Field logbooks will be used to provide sufficient data and observations to enable participants and the project manager to reconstruct events that occurred during the project. Field logbooks will be permanently bound, the pages will be numbered, and all entries will be written with permanent ink, signed, and dated. If an error is made in the notebook, corrections can be made by the person who made the entry. A correction can be made by crossing out the error with a single line, so as not to obliterate the original entry, and then entering the correct information. All corrections will be initialed and dated. The first page of the logbook will be used at the Table of Contents to facilitate the location of pertinent data. The Table of Contents will be used to record the page number where important events can be found. The very next page should begin recording daily events. The first daily event entry will always be the date, followed by a detailed description of the weather conditions. All of the following entries will begin with the time that the entry is made. Any space remaining on the last line of the entry will be lined out to prevent additional information being added in the future. At the end of the day, any unused space between the last entry and the bottom of the page will be lined out, signed, and dated, to prevent additional entries being made at a later date. Project information to be recorded in the logbook will include: 1. Time when team members, subcontractors, and the client arrive or leave the site. 2. Names and company affiliation of all people who visit the site 3. Summary of all discussions and agreements made with team members, subcontractors, and the client 4. Summary of all telephone conversations held in the field 5. Detailed explanations of any deviations from the Field Sampling Plan, noting who gives authorization, and what paperwork is completed to document the change 6. Detailed description of any mechanical problems which occur at the site, noting when and how it occurs, and how it is being addressed 7. Detailed description of any accidents that occur, noting who receives the injury, how serious the injury is, how the person is treated, and who is notified 8. General information such as when and how equipment is decontaminated, and what samples are collected that day. Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 6 of 15 October 17, 1995 Task level information to be recorded in the logbook will include: 1. The level of personal protective equipment being used at the site 2. Sample collection times for all samples being collected 3. Details on when, how, and where equipment is decontaminated, and what is done with the wastewater 4. The appropriate type and number of standardized forms used each day will be recorded daily. 7.3.2 Standardized Forms Standardized forms will be used to record the information that is collected during field sampling and during the identification of off -site water -supply wells. These forms will include: • well development forms • well purging and sampling forms • water level measurement forms • instrument calibration forms • well survey forms. Examples of these forms are attached in Appendix III. Each of the forms will be checked by the project manager for accuracy upon completion. Completed standardized forms will be kept in the project files identified by specific sampling events. 7.3.3 Sample Labels The essential documents for sample identification and transportation to tha laboratory are the sample label, custody seal, and Chain -of -Custody Form. The primary objective of the sample label is to link a sample bottle to a sample number, sampling date and time, and analyses to be performed. The sample label in combination with the Chain -of -Custody Form is used to inform the laboratory what the sample is to be analyzed for. The sample label will contain the following information: • sample number • sampling time and date • analyses to be performed • preservatives used • sampler's initials • name of the company collecting the sample, and • name and address of the laboratory performing the analysis. Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 7 of 15 October 17, 1995 All of the above information except the sampling time and date should be added to the sample label before going into the field. 7.3.4 Custody Seals After a sample bottle has been filled and labeled, a custody seal will be signed and dated and then placed over the bottle cap to assure that the sample is not tampered with. The custody seal is designed to break when the bottle cap is rotated. The person who signs their name to the custody seal is responsible for the sample until the time the sample is signed over to someone else. Custody seals will be placed on coolers also. 7.3.5 Chain of Custody Form The Chain -of -Custody Form (COC) is the procedure used to document the responsible individual(s) for a sample from the time the sample is collected to the time it is analyzed at the laboratory. All of the samples collected at the site will be hand - delivered to the laboratory. The COC is also used by the laboratory to identify which analyses to perform on which samples. When the laboratory receives the samples, they assume custody and responsibility of the samples by signing the COC Form. If there is any inconsistency, the laboratory will contact the project manager for clarification. 8.0 SITE SURVEYING The elevations of the well casing and the ground surface to the nearest 0.01 foot will be determined by a North Carolina Registered Land Surveyor at wells MW2 and P15. Elevations of these wells were not surveyed previously due to health and safety hazards detected by the NCSWS in December, 1994. Elevations at other wells and locations of all the wells have already been determined. 9.0 SURVEY OF PRIVATE WATER -SUPPLY WELLS All private water -supply wells within one-half mile of the landfill will be identified by interviewing residents at the properties. A standard form will be used for each property where a residence is located (Appendix M. Each residence will be identified on a map using sequential numbers beginning with the number one. All identification numbers will have either a prefix R, indicating a residence with no water -supply well, or RW, indicating a residence with a private well (i.e. R1, R2, RW3, R4, R5). Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 8 of 15 October 17, 1995 10.0 WELL DEVELOPMENT In order to collect representative samples of formation water from monitoring wells, well development will be performed to remove silt, and restore the aquifer's natural hydraulic conductivity and geochemical equilibrium near the well. The development procedure will consist of collecting an initial water level measurement and then alternately surging and bailing the well until water from the well stabilizes in pH, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, and clarity (Table 1; see Table 2 for required equipment). All wells will be developed one week prior to sampling. Surging consists of repeatedly raising and lowering a stainless steel surge block starting at the top of the screened interval and moving downward. This procedure pulls sediment particles that are finer than the well screen openings into the well. This procedure allows compaction of the sand pack around the well screen, and should be performed several times during the development operation to assure that most of the fine-grained sediment have been removed from the immediate vicinity of the well screen. Following each surging step, a bottom -filling bailer is used to remove turbid water and sediment which have accumulated in the well. Bailers used for well development will be made of high -density polyethylene and will be kept in 2-mil thick polyethylene bags until immediately prior to use. The bailers will be disposable and a new bailer will be used to develop each well. The bailer will be lowered into the well with nylon rope. Water removed from the wells will be transferred to drums stored temporarily at the site. Under no conditions will water be added to the well during development. At regular intervals during the development procedure, a sample of the , development water will be collected and analyzed in the field for pH, temperature, conductivity, and turbidity. The results from these measurements will be recorded on the Well Development Form (Appendix III). A well is considered adequately developed when a minimum of three well volumes of water have been removed from the well, and the pH (± 0.1), temperature (±0.5°C), conductivity (±10%), and clarity have stabilized, and turbidity measurements fall below 25 NTUs. A well volume is calculated using the formula: V = nr21 where V = volume 7C = 3.14 r = radius of the well = height of the water column Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 9 of 15 October 17, 1995 In silty and clayey formations, it is not always possible to meet the < 25 NTU turbidity requirement. In this situation, development should continue until the turbidity of the water has stabilized. Some wells may yield insufficient amounts of water in order to complete the well development process. If the previously mentioned physical parameters stabilize quickly, a minimum of three well volumes of water will be removed to consider the well adequately developed. Immediately after the completion of well development, the depth to groundwater will be measured using a water level meter, and recorded. Future sampling only requires a well to be purged prior to sampling. However, if fine-grained sediment begins building up inside the well, the well will need to be redeveloped. 11.0 WELL PURGING The well purging procedure is similar that for well development with the exception that surging is not performed (Tables 2 and 3). The purpose of well purging is to remove stagnant water from the well so that a representative water sample can be collected. At regular intervals during the purging procedure, a sample of the purge water is collected for pH, temperature, conductivity, and turbidity measurements. The results from these measurements are recorded on the Well Purging and Sampling Form (Appendix III). In the purging procedure, water should be removed from a well until the pH (±0.1), temperature (±0.5 ° C), conductivity (± 10 %), turbidity (< 25 NTUs), and clarity have stabilized or until five well volumes have been purged. Turbidity may not stabilize. Care will be taken not to over -purge the wells as this may result in dilution of contaminant concentrations where stratification may exist. High purge rates will be avoided in order to prevent the volatilization of organic compounds caused by water cascading into the well. High purge rates can also pull fine-grained sediments into the well. Water samples containing sediment may exhibit high concentrations of metals that do not necessarily reflect the actual concentrations of metals dissolved in groundwater. For slowly recharging wells, the purging procedure described previously is not practiced because it may take days to complete. Instead, these wells will be bailed dry (less than 4 inches of water in consecutive bailers), then sampled when there is a sufficient volume of water in the well to fill the sample bottles. The depth to groundwater will be measured using a water level probe preceding well purging, immediately before well sampling, and after well sampling. This information will be recorded on the Well Purging and Sampling Form (Appendix III). Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 10 of 15 October 17, 1995 12.0 MONITORING WELL SAMPLING Monitoring wells will be sampled according to Tables 4 and 5. Table 2 lists the required equipment. Sampling of wells will begin before the static water level has had time to equilibrate following purging. Bottles for volatile and semivolatile organic analysis will be filled first. While the 40 ml volatile organic analysis (VOA) bottles are filled, the distance separating the VOA bottle and the bailer will be limited to 3 inches. Bottles for analyses of pesticides and PCB's will be filled next. Turbidity will be measured immediately before and after collection of the metals sample. Bottles for metals analyses will be filled last and only if the water is clear. If the water is not clear after sampling for the other parameters, the bottles for the metals analyses will not be filled at this time. Sediment in the water column will be allowed 23 hours to settle out at which time bottles for the metals analyses will be filled (Table 6). Any required preservatives will be added to the sample bottles at the laboratory prior to sampling. All groundwater samples will remain unfiltered at the time of sample collection. After a water sample has been collected from a well, exit water level, pH, temperature, conductivity, and turbidity readings will be measured and recorded (Appendix III). The bailer method will be used to collect all groundwater samples. The closed -top sampling bailer (reusable) will be constructed of Teflon and brought to the site wrapped in aluminum foil. The bailer will be decontaminated at the laboratory prior to sampling. The bailer will be lowered down a well using nylon rope, and a two -foot long, Teflon -coated wire as a leader. This leader will be decontaminated in the same manner as the sampling bailer. Different equipment will be used for collecting samples to be analyzed for metals if sediment is allowed to settle overnight. This equipment will include disposable teflon bailers, nylon rope, and vinyl gloves. A plastic sheet will be placed around the well for the duration of sample collection. Care will be taken so that the bailer, leader, and nylon rope do not come into contact with the ground at any time during the sampling procedure. In the case where low yielding wells must be allotted extra time to recover during sample collection and the sampling site is temporarily vacated, the sampling bailer and leader will be wrapped in a clean section of aluminum foil and placed on an equipment rack at the well. The nylon rope will be cut and discarded. The equipment rack will be kept at the sampling site until the sampling procedure is completed later that day. Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 11 of 15 October 17, 1995 13.0 SURFACE WATER SAMPLING Surface water sampling points located farthest downstream will be collected first. Sampling will then proceed to points located upstream. This sampling procedure will assure that any sediment disturbed during sample collection will not contaminate downstream sampling points. Surface water samples from the site will be collected from ditches with shallow water levels. The Dipper Method will be used to collect grab samples of surface water (Tables 2, 5, and 7) for analyses which require preservatives in the sampling containers (Table 14). A stainless steel dipper will be used to collect a grab sample from the top few inches of the ditch water column. This water sample will then be transferred to a sample bottle already containing the required preservatives. The sample bottles will not be placed directly into the water of the ditch as this may allow preservatives already in the bottles to escape into the surface water. Analysis of semi - volatile organic compounds, chlorinated herbicides, and EPA Method 8080 do not require preservatives and these sample bottles will be placed directly in the surface water for filling. The dipper will be decontaminated at the laboratory prior to use and brought to the site wrapped in aluminum foil. 14.0 ON -SITE WATER -SUPPLY WELL SAMPLING A water sample will be collected from a spigot of the on -site water -supply well (Tables 2, 5, and 8). A spigot will be selected that is nearest the wellhead and that does not contain water that has been treated by a water softener or by chemicals. The spigot will be opened to produce a steady flow of water. This steady flow of water will be maintained for a minimum of 15 minutes or until one well volume of water has been purged (provided that well construction data are available that allow calculation of one well volume of water). At the end of purging, the flow rate will be reduced and water from the spigot will be collected and tested for pH, temperature, conductivity, and turbidity. This information will be recorded on the Well Purging and Sampling Form. The sample bottles will be filled directly with water flowing from the spigot. Care will be taken to maintain a steady flow of water from the spigot throughout sampling in order to lessen the likelihood that particulates will become dislodged from inside the water line. There is no criteria for the order of filling bottles from the spigot. An attempt will be made to locate a well construction record and the description of sediments at the water -supply well. Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 12 of 15 October 17, 1995 15.0 SAMPLING LOCATIONS Water samples will be collected from 18 monitoring wells, 4 surface water locations, and the water -supply well (Figure 3). The NCSWS selected the groundwater monitoring wells to be sampled (Appendix I). Sampling locations for surface water are based on the direction of flow of surface water. The direction of flow of surface water at the landfill is shown by arrows in Figure 3. Surface water does not enter the landfill except, possibly, at the southwestern corner of the landfill where the land surface was recently graded. The upgradient surface water location is labeled SWL Downgradient surface water samples will be collected at stations SW2 and SW4. A third downgradient surface water sample will be collected at location SW3 if this ditch contains water. Surface water does not exit the landfill through ditches or creeks at any other locations. The water -supply well is located near the entrance to the landfill at the eastern end of the landfill. 16.0 ANALYTICAL METHODS Analytical methods were chosen based on past sampling results, known or suspected waste deposited at the landfill, and guidance from the NCSWS (Appendix I). Table 9 lists the chemical analyses to be performed on the various samples. Tables 10 through 13 list individual constituents to be analyzed, analytical method numbers, and suggested practical quantitation limits. Not listed in Tables 10 through 13 are the individual volatile and semivolatile organic compounds included in the 40 CFR 258 Appendix II analyses. Water from all monitoring wells being sampled for the first time and all of the surface water samples will be analyzed only for 40 CFR 258 Appendix I volatile organic compounds and metals plus cyanides and iron, manganese, and mercury. Water from wells MW1, MW3, P4, and P16 will be analyzed for the same parameters even though they were sampled previously. Previous sampling of wells MW1 and MW3 in 1988 indicated only the presence of estimated values of toluene in both wells. Well MW 1 also contained an estimated value of the semivolatile compound di-n- butylphthalate whereas well MW3 did not contain any semivolatile organic compounds. Samples from wells MW1 and MW3 in 1993 and 1994 contained no detectable volatile organic compounds. Wells P4 and P16 are monitored as part of the semiannual monitoring of the southern unit of the landfill and no volatile organic compounds have been detected in either of these wells. Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 13 of 15 October 17, 1995 Previous water samples from wells P14, P15, P25, and MW2 contained volatile and semivolatile organic compounds. Water from these wells, and well P26 which is within 150 feet of wells P25 and MW2, will be analyzed for 40 CFR 258 Appendix II volatile and semivolatile organic compounds and various pesticides in addition to the Appendix I volatile organic compounds and metals, cyanides, iron, manganese, and mercury. Water from well MW2 will also be analyzed for other pesticides due to its suspected proximity to possible pesticide waste. Water from the water -supply well will be analyzed for all parameters listed or referenced in Table 9. 17.0 LABORATORY CERTIFICATION Laboratories used to perform the chemical analyses proposed in this workplan will be certified to analyze the certifiable parameters under Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, section 0800. 18.0 EQUIPMENT DECONTAMINATION Decontamination of equipment will be performed to minimize the potential for contaminant migration and to assure the collection of representative water samples. The following well development, purging and sampling equipment will be decontaminated: • surge block and rod (stainless steel construction) • water level meter • high -density polyethylene bailers • Teflon bailers • dippers (stainless steel) • Teflon leader. Only the surge block and rod, and the water level meter will need to be decontaminated at the site. The bailers, dippers, and Teflon leaders are single -use items which will be decontaminated at the laboratory prior to use. All decontaminated equipment will be handled by wearing either disposable nitrile or vinyl gloves. When purging and sampling, nitrile, and not vinyl, gloves will be worn. New nitrile gloves will be worn at each different sampling location. Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 14 of 15 October 17, 1995 The decontamination procedure for all of the equipment (except for the high - density polyethylene bailers) will follow that described in Table 14. The high -density polyethylene bailers are decontaminated commercially by the procedure listed in Table 15. Once a decontaminated piece of equipment has been allowed to air dry, it will be wrapped in aluminum foil (shiny side facing out) to keep it clean prior to use. For the water level meter, only the probe will be wrapped. The dilute acid solutions, acetone, hexane, and rinse water will be used in Teflon squirt bottles. The drippings of these solutions will be caught in separate plastic buckets for temporary storage in the decontamination area. The acetone and hexane drippings will be allowed to volatilize into the air, while the acid solution drippings will be neutralized using baking soda. A decontamination line will be set up at various staging areas away from the wells and surface water sampling points. All equipment decontamination in the field will take place in these staging areas. All of the water and waste drippings generated during the decontamination procedure will be transferred to 55-gallon storage drums. 19.0 INVESTIGATION -DERIVED WASTE All of the waste water derived during the investigation will be contained and stored temporarily at the site in sealed 55-gallon drums. This waste includes water generated during well development, well purging, and well sampling. It also includes the water and rinsate solutions generated during decontamination of the sampling equipment. The drums will be staged in an area of the landfill which is free from vehicular traffic. Disposal of the drums will be dependent on the groundwater sampling results from the monitoring wells. If necessary, a composite sample from the drums may also be collected to assure proper drum disposal. Used disposable items such as tyveks, paper towels, gloves, rope, etc., will be placed in plastic bags and disposed with other municipal waste by Pitt County. 20.0 PERSONNEL REQUIRED The well purging and sampling team will consist of four people. Two people are needed for field testing, sample collection, labeling, and documentation; a third is needed for health and safety, and quality control; and a fourth is needed for equipment Sampling and Analysis Plan Pitt County Landfill Page 15 of 15 October 17, 1995 decontamination, and managing the waste water drums. Only one person is required to locate off -site private water -supply wells. 21.0 COORDINATION WITH MONITORING OF SOUTHERN UNIT The sampling proposed in this plan and the semiannual sampling of the southern unit of the landfill will be conducted at the same time. 22.0 REPORTING A report will be generated after receipt of the analytical results. The report will contain the following items: • a map of sampling locations • tables of field -measured parameters including water levels, pH, temperature, conductivity, and turbidity • deviations from this workplan • tables of analytical data • field methods • a map of residences surveyed for off -site private water -supply wells • a summary of off -site water -supply wells.

exclusion zone and the contaminant reduction zone will be limited to authorized personnel only. Temporary barricades will be constructed along the outer perimeter of the contaminant reduction zone during field activities. The barricades will be highly visible and will restrict unauthorized entry by unqualified personnel. 6.0 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES 6.1 PURPOSE Decontamination is performed to prevent the spread of contaminants to uncontaminated areas and to protect workers, their families and the environment from unnecessary exposure to toxic substances. - 6.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Decontamination will be performed in geographical areas that will minimize the exposure of uncontaminated employees or equipment to contaminated employees or equipment. Personnel and equipment will be decontaminated within the contamination reduction zone prior to entering the support zone. No potentially contaminated equipment, clothing, or decontamination water will be transported from the contaminant reduction zone to the support zone unless it is properly containerized. The 10/17/95\KCL\winwocd\pitt\hltheaf3.doc State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Solid Waste Management James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary William L. Meyer, Director October 4, 1995 Mr. Phil Dickerson Pitt County Engineer 1717 West Fifth Street Greenville, N.C. 27834 RE: Transition Plan - Hydrogeologic Evaluation Of Local Area Study And Water Quality Monitoring Plan For The Pitt County Landfill (Permit # 74-01) Dear Mr. Dickerson, A hydrogeologic review has been completed for the Pitt County Landfill Transition Plan. Additional information and clarification is needed on several issues. Please review the following comments and questions and prepare a revised Transition Plan for the Pitt County Landfill. COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS: LOCAL AREA STUDY: Each of items (i) through (v) of Rule .1629 (b) (2) (A) need to be clearly addressed in the Local Area Study. - (ii) Are there any surface water intakes in the study area? (v) What are the locations and types of any potential sources of contamination? The locations of the survey control benchmarks need to be shown on one of the Local Area Study Maps. A reference is made on the bottom of page LS2 to the Topographic Maps showing benchmarks, however I was not able to locate any benchmarks on the drawings. Reference is made in the report to an on -site water supply well. Is this well still being used? what is the depth and design of this well? Copies of any chemical analytical data from this well should be included in the report. P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Telephone 919-733-4996 FAX 919-715-3605 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper Mr. Phil Dickerson Pitt County Transition Plan Page 2 WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN: The type of statistical analyses necessary are to some extent dependent on the data being evaluated. Statistical analyses other than parametric ANOVA may therefore be necessary. - For additional comments on the Revised Water Quality Monitoring Plan dated December 6, 1994, refer to my letter of December 27, 1994 to Mr. Alfred Moncla. SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN (SAP): The analytical methods proposed in Table 6 of the original SAP and Table 8 of the revised SAP are not the approved methods for Beryllium, Chromium, Cobalt, Silver, and Vanadium. These metals require a low level certification method. Refer to the memos to MSWLF Owners and Operators dated June 24, 1994 and January 18, 1995. This Table needs to be revised. The Revised Water Quality Monitoring Plan and Sampling And Analysis Plan need to be integrated into the Transition Plan so that the Transition Plan accurately reflects the approved plans. Should there be any discrepancies between the monitoring plans and the Solid Waste Management Rules and policies, then the rules and policies are to take precedence. INITIAL BASELINE SAMPLING REPORT OF MARCH 7, 1995 Table 5: No data has been presented for effective porosity. Effective porosity values need to be established and the ground -water velocity values need to be recalculated using effective porosity values rather than total porosity values. - An unapproved analytical method was used for Silver. - The second page of organic analytical data is missing for monitoring well P4. Phil Dickerson Pitt County Transition Plan Page 3 BASELINE SAMPLING REPORT OF MARCH 17, 1995: The drainage problems in the vicinity of well P12 need to be corrected and the additional two baseline sampling episodes for this well need to be completed as soon as possible. The deep well to be nested with well P20 needs to be installed and sampled. The last statement of page 6 is misleading. Statistical analysis can be performed on organic constituents even if the upgradient well shows no detectable amounts for constituents. When the additional two sampling events are completed for well P12, statistical analysis will be necessary for Toluene. The comment made above regarding the need to establish effective porosity values and recalculate the ground -water velocity values also applies to this Baseline Sampling Report. Appendix I, Well Site Locations And Elevations, is incomplete. No well elevation data is provided. The number of the locations does not correspond to the well designations for the site. - For some of the analyses, an unapproved method is still being reported for Silver. If Pitt County or their consultants have any questions regarding this memo, they may contact me at (919) 733-0692, extension 258. Please provide the necessary revisions as soon as possible so the Solid Waste Section can complete its review of the Transition Plan.

On May 15, 1995, we sent you a letter describing in general terms the County's plan for air sampling. Since that letter, both the State and the County's groundwater consultant have suggested changes to the May 15 plan. The revised plan is as follows: 1. Sampling will be conducted at P-14, P-15, and MW-2. 2. The County will take the following samples in the vapor space of each well: a. one VOC sample (using EPA Method TQ-14); b. one pesticide sample (using TO-10); C. five detector tube samples (one each for hydrogen sulfide; hydrocyanic acid; arsenic and organic arsenic compounds; mercaptans; and carbon disulfide) . In addition, the County will take one pesticide field blank. 3. The County will take the following samples of the ambient air in the immediate vicinity of each well: a. one VOC sample (using TO-14); Philip J. Prete June 20, 1995 Page 2 b. one pesticide sample (using TO-4); and C. five detector tube samples (as per vapor space samples). In addition, the County will take one pesticide and one VOC field blank. 4. The County will submit a monitoring report, with laboratory analyses, to the State within twenty-eight days of the completion of sampling. 5. The sampling results will be used to develop a modified health and safety plan for future groundwater sampling. The sampling results will also be used to develop a work plan for additional air sampling, if necessary. The County's consultant, TRC Environmental Corporation, expects to begin sampling on June 29. Therefore, we would appreciate hearing from you soon if you have any objections to this revised sampling plan. Thank you for the State's continuing assistance on this.

The following are discrepancies we have noted that should be incorporated into this phase. 1. Sampling should be performed within the vapor space of the monitoring wells. 2. In addition to P-15 and MW-2, the sampling should be conducted at P-14. 3. The "health and safety plan for future groundwater sampling" and a proposed work plan for ambient air monitoring (along the lines of Phase I and II plan from TRC proposal) should be submitted along with the monitoring report and laboratory report within the proposed twenty-eight days of sampling. This should not be an additional burden and will help us begin to get back on track with the schedule that we have veered away from.

The technical approach for the Phase I and Phase II studies are described in the following subsections. 2.1 Phase I Study At the beginning of the study a TRC air quality specialist will conduct a site visitat C Pitt County landfill to recommend appropriate the ll sampling stations for the Phase I study. wi then develop a quality assurance project plan that includes a description of the project, sampling o locations, quality assurance objectives, sampling and analytical procedures, and the approach quality assurance and quality control to be used for the study. In addition, TRC will Prep a Health and Safety Plan to be followed during the course of the study. This Phase I study will include the set-up and operation of three monitoring stations to measure V and Pesticides. Each station will include a high -volume polyurethane foam (PM sampler for pesticide sampling and a Summa-passivated canister for VOC sampling. One station will be an upwind background station and the second station will be located downwind at the perimeter of be ateld �d Oin an at of expected maximum concentration.

TRC is assuming that the sampling of the three wells will be done sequentially, not simultaneously. TRC is also assuming that the entire water sampling process for each well will require about two hours and will also require an' sampling for the same time TRC is assuming that all of the exploratory sampling can be completed in one period. Moreover,ger than two hours and, as sampling of all three day. If sampling of each well takes u�o al costs would be incurred.

TRC proposes to hire and train a local operator for the Phase II study to collect samples and ship them to Triangle Laboratories for analyses. In addition, a portable weather station and recording instrumentation would be established at one of the sampling sites to provide meteorological information for the sampling period. Prior to starting the Phase II study, TRC will prepare a comprehensive QA project plan for submission to the State for review and approval. In addition, a Health and Safety Plan will also be prepared. If the State requires additional QA/QC controls other than that specified in the submitted QA project plan, additional costs may be incurred. Client authorization for these additional expenditures would be required before TRC proceeds. TRC will begin sampling within two weeks of receipt of an approved QA project plan and client authorization to begin sampling. Within 21 days of completing the Phase II sampling, TRC will submit a report of the sampling and analytical results. TRC has assumed that the purpose of Phase II sampling will be to assess the exposure of individuals located downwind and off site from the landfill. If Phase I sampling raises questions about the exposure of individuals working at the landfill, then TRC will provide the client with a revised plan and cost estimate for Phase H. Work could not begin on Phase II, until written authorization was received from the client to proceed with the Phase II revisions. 3.0 PROJECT MANAGEMENT TRC's approach to this program will emphasize timeliness, technical quality, close adherence to budget, and responsiveness of our Project Manager and staff to client's needs.

These documents were submitted to the regulatory agency for review and were approved for implementation of the study. Designing the monitoring study presented some interesting problems in that the facility was in an area surrounded by a number of other potential sources of the parameters being monitored. Placement of the monitors and data requirements were important factors in allowing proper interpretation of the data produced during the monitoring phase. TRC conducted monitoring at three locations adjacent to the facility and at two background sites. A total of 15 sampling events were conducted with measurements of volatile organics, PCBs, PAHs, and pesticides obtained for each event. The resulting air toxics concentration data were evaluated in conjunction with the meteorological data to determine the source of emissions and their impact on the surrounding area. Monitoring methods used included EPA Method T04 for PCBs and semivolatile organics and EPA Method T02 for pesticides. Dispersion Modeling Study to Site Ambient Air Monitors During Remediation of the Acton, Massachusetts Site (W.R.

ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, INC. 1920 Starita Road, Suite J - Charlotte, N.C. 28206 - (704) 598-1049 April 13, 1995 Mr. Phil Dickerson Pitt County Engineer 1717 West Fifth Street Greenville, North Carolina 27834 Reference: Proposal for Air Quality Testing & Consulting Services Pitt County Landfill Greenville, North Carolina Trigon Proposal No. 046-95-073-P Dear Mr. Dickerson: Trigon Engineering Consultants, Inc. (Trigon) is pleased to provide this proposal in response to a request from Messrs. Bill Ross and Bob King of Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard of Greensboro, North Carolina. This proposal is for air quality testing and consulting services at the Pitt County Landfill located in Greenville, North Carolina. It is Trigon's understanding that Pitt County has been requested by the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources (NC DEHNR) to conduct a study of potential air quality impacts from the landfill. Trigon has conducted numerous air quality analyses and impact studies. Our staff includes registered Professional Engineers and Geologists (P.E.'s and P.G.'s), Registered Environmental Managers (REM), Qualified Environmental Professionals (QEP), environmental scientists, meteorologists, and chemists. In the following sections we present a scope of work based on information provided in the request for proposal; a schedule for completing these services; company and project personnel qualifications and experience; and a detail of fees associated with completing this project. PROJECT INFORMATION Pitt County has been working with NC DEHNR to determine the extent and nature of groundwater contamination at it's cdmanethylene dib omide in the groundwater landfill Greenville, undw ter representatives of NC DEHNR discovered and vapor space of two monitoring wells. NC DEHNR has subsequently requested the County to conduct air quality tests in the vicinity of three wells. Mr. Phil Dickerson April 13, 1995 Page Two On behalf of Pitt County, the firm of Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard has requested a proposal from Trigon Engineering to provide services necessary to assist Pitt County with the NC DEHNR request. The scope of requested work includes the development of a test plan that will provide for testing of the ambient air in the vicinity of the monitoring wells and the landfill perimeter; implementation of the test plan in two phases (exploratory and definitive); and provide a detailed report of the study findings. Constituents to be tested include volatile organic compounds and pesticides. PROPOSED WORK SCOPE Trigon proposes to develop a test plan unique to the Pitt County landfill project. Our first objective in the study will be -to determine prevalent wind direction by stationing a meteorological station on site for up to one week to document typical wind direction and wind speed characteristics. Using this data, Trigon will locate sampling stations at the landfill perimeter and in the vicinity of three monitoring wells. Based on our experience, twelve sampling stations will be used in this study. For this proposal, our cost estimates are based on twelve stations. If, however, the meteorological data and landfill characteristics dictate more sampling stations, Pitt County will be notified and a revised budget estimate will be provided. At each sampling station Trigon proposes to perform the ambient air monitoring using United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Test Methods set forth in "Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Toxic Organic Compounds in Ambient Air". Method TO-14 - Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) in Ambient Air Using Summa Passivated Canister Sampling and Gas Chromatographic Analysis - will be used for the ethylene dibromide and methane sampling. The analytical procedures associated with this method are gas chromatography / mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) and gas chromatography / flame ionization detector (GC/FID). Along with ethylene dibromide and methane, the analysis will include a scan of approximately 45 VOC's. Sampling and analysis for pesticides will be performed according to Method TO-10 - Method for the Determination of Organochlorine Pesticides in Ambient Air Using Low Volume Polyurethane Foam (PUF) Sampling with Gas Chromatography / Electron Capture Detector (GC/ECD). Trigon proposes to conduct the exploratory sampling phase to include two days of sampling in the vicinity of the three monitoring wells and two days of sampling at the landfill perimeter. Because of the low concentrations anticipated in the ambient air, Trigon will perform a 4 to 6 hour sampling run at each location during each day of sampling. This will yield a total of 24 samples for each phase. For the purpose of this proposal, Trigon assumes the same number of samples will be taken for the definitive phase of sampling. Mr. Phil Dickerson April 13, 1995 Page Three A Test Protocol will be submitted to the NC DEHNR detailing the proposed sampling strategies and analytical procedures. Trigon has had very good experiences meeting with NC DEHNR representatives to discuss sampling strategies. We expect that a meeting would be beneficial for this project also. Mr. Earl G. McCune, REM, QEP, was formerly the Assistant Chief for Technical Services at NC DEHNR and has achieved success working with regulators to develop special testing plans. Mr. McCune will serve as attached. Director for this project. His resume' and other staff members participating a Mr. Richard B. McCain, III is Manager of Trigon's Air Monitoring Division and will be responsible for the development of the Test Plan. Mr. McCain will also oversee the implementation of the scope of work. Mr. J.A. Blanton rivrtiestassociated withanager in the Air this Monitoring Division. Mr. Blanton will be responsible for field ac project. Mr. Paul R. Jenkins, Jr. is the Quality Assurance and Analytical Services Manager in the Air Monitoring Division.

The proposed project will affect 17.7 acres by grading for construction of buildings, roads and drainage at the present landfill. Based upon the information provided, we find the plan to be acceptable and hereby issue this LETTER OF APPROVAL. The Sedimentation Pollution Control Act requires the owner/developer to use appropriate methods for the protection of adjoining natural resources and properties, both during and after construction, from the effects of accelerated erosion. This program is performance. oriented. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the requirements of the Act. The following minimal mandatory standards of the Act are hereby made a part of the approved plan: -- a copy of the latest approved soil erosion and control plan must be on file at the job site; -- a buffer zone, sufficient to restrain sedimentation, must be maintained between the land -disturbing activity and any adjacent property or watercourse; 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington, North Carolina 27889 Telephone 919-946-6481 FAX 919-975-3716 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 60% recycled/10% post -consumer paper County of Pitt ATTN: Mr. Phillip G. Dickerson, Engineer April 11, 1995 Page 2 -- new or affected slopes must be at an angle that can be retained by vegetative cover and exposed slopes must be provided with a ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion within 30 working days of completion of any phase (rough or final) of grading (RYE GRASS IS NOT in the approved seeding specifications nor is it an ACCEPTABLE substitute for the providing of a ground cover); and -- a permanent ground cover, sufficient to restrain erosion, must be provided within the shorter of 30 working or 120 calendar days after completion of construction or development. Be advised that unannounced periodic inspections of the project will be made to ensure compliance with the approved plan and the program requirements. If the plan and/or its implementation is determined to be inadequate, this office may require that it be revised to comply with state law. Failure to comply with the approved plan or with any requirements of this program or to affect areas in other than to those designated to be affected in the approved plan, could result in a civil penalty assessment of up to $500 per day for each day the site is out of compliance against the financially responsible party (County of Pitt). In recognizing the desirability of early coordination of sedimentation control, we believe it would be beneficial for you and your contractor to arrange a pre -construction conference to discuss the requirements of the approved erosion and sedimen- tation control plan. It would be appreciated if you would contact this office to let me know the date of construction start-up and the date of the pre -construction conference. The land -disturbing activity described in this plan may require approval or permitting from other Federal, State or local agencies. These could include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under Article 404 jurisdiction, the Division of Environmental Management under water quality regulations (contact Bill Moore, 919-946-6481), county, city or town agencies under other local ordinances, or other approvals that may be required. This approval cannot supersede any other approval or permit. County of Pitt ATTN: Mr. Phillip G.

Jurisdiction This Administrative Agreement On Consent is entered pursuant to the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act, N.C.G.S. 130A, Article 9, and Rules, codified at 15A NCAC 13B. Dexter R. Matthews, Chief of the Solid Waste Section, Division of Solid Waste Management ("The Division"), has been delegated the authority to implement the Solid Waste Management Program under the Act and Rules. H. SSlarement of Purpose This Consent Agreement is entered for the limited purpose of investigating contamination of the ground water and possible contamination of surface water in the vicinity of the sanitary landfill owned and maintained by Pitt County, North Carolina. This Agreement is entered without prejudice to any further study or remedial activity which may be necessary at this site. 2 III. Stipulation of Facts Based upon information available at the effective date of this Consent Agreement, the following facts are stipulated for the purposes of this Consent Agreement: A. Pitt County owns and operates a sanitary landfill located off S.R. 1203 just west of Greenville City limits. B. Pitt County has operated the landfill under an Order of Approval beginning in June, 1974. After the RCRA legislation became effective Pitt County has operated a sanitary landfill permitted to receive solid, non -hazardous waste for disposal under Solid Waste Permit #74-01. C. Elevated levels of inorganic constituents and indicator parameters from a previous sampling event performed by the County's sampling contractor, indicated the possibility of contamination in on -site monitoring wells. This prompted the Solid Waste Section to split samples with the sampling contractor on September 5, 1991 and perform organic and inorganic analysis on the samples. Groundwater monitoring analytical results from that sampling event revealed the presence of semi -volatile and volatile organic compounds, as well as, inorganic constituents in the monitoring wells. Subsequent sampling events have confirmed the presence of inorganic and organic constituents that exceed the N.C. Ground Water Standards. D. As of the effective date of this Consent Agreement, the nature and extent of ground -water contamination in the vicinity of the Pitt County Sanitary Landfill has not been clearly determined. 3 A. 15A NCAC 13B .0503(2)(d)(i) adopts by reference 15A NCAC 2L, Classifications And Water Quality Standards Applicable To The Groundwaters Of North Carolina. B. 15A NCAC 13B .0503(2)(c)(i) states that "A (landfill) site shall not cause a discharge of pollutants into waters of the state that is in violation of the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, as amended". Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0503(2)(c)(iii) states that "a site shall not cause non -point source pollution of waters of the state that violates assigned water quality standards". C. 15A NCAC 13B .0601(a) states that "The Division shall require a solid waste management facility to provide such ground -water monitoring capability as the Division determines to be necessary to detect the effects of the facility on ground -water in the area". D. 15A NCAC 13B .0602(a) states that "The Division shall require a solid waste management facility to provide such surface water monitoring capability as the Division determines to be necessary to detect the effects of the facility on surface water in the area". E. 15A NCAC 13B .0201(d) states that "All solid waste management facilities shall be operated in conformity with these Rules and in such a manner as to prevent the creation of a nuisance, insanitary conditions, or potential public health hazard". Based upon the facts and applicable law, the Division has determined, for purposes of 4 this Consent Agreement only, the following: A. Analyses of samples of ground water taken at the landfill since 1991 indicate contravention of ground water standards for various inorganic and organic constituents. B. An investigation of ground -water conditions in the vicinity of the landfill is necessary to identify any plume of contamination, the direction and rate of movement of the plume, and to determine the type, concentration, source and extent of contamination. C. An investigation of surface water conditions in the vicinity of the site is necessary to determine the type, concentration, source and movement of surface water contamination, if any. D. An investigation is necessary to determine the ground -water discharge points and the effect of contaminated ground -water discharge on the streams. E. An investigation of the ground and surface water receptors in the general area of the landfill is necessary to determine the potential impact of ground and surface water contamination on the public health. VI. Scope of Work The Division has determined that this Agreement will promote the protection of public health and the environment and is in the public interest. The provisions of this Administrative Agreement shall henceforth govern the actions of Pitt County. Therefore, in an effort to determine the status of ground and surface water quality at and in the vicinity of its landfill property, Pitt County agrees to perform the following actions: A. Within sixty (60) calendar days of execution of this Agreement, Pitt County 5 shall develop and submit a plan for a ground and surface water quality investigation which, upon approval by the Division, will constitute the approved assessment plan. The plan shall be prepared by a licensed professional geologist with experience in assessment and remediation of ground water contamination. The professional geologist shall consult with the Solid Waste Section about the landfill site prior to developing the assessment plan. The objective of the assessment plan shall be to determine the following: (a) The nature and concentration of the contamination in the ground and surface waters. (b) The horizontal and vertical extent of contamination ("the plume") and the direction and rate of migration of the plume in the ground water. (c) The source(s) of contamination detected in ground and surface water. (d) Potential ground and surface water receptors that could be affected by migration of the contamination. (e) The effect of the contaminated ground water discharge into nearby streams. The assessment plan to be submitted shall contain a detailed plan for the initial phase of the investigation and a strategy and timetable for accomplishing the overall goals of the water quality assessment. The assessment plan must specify: 1. The procedures and methods necessary to fully determine flow direction and rate of movement of the ground water. 2. The methods and techniques to be used in defining the horizontal and M vertical extent of the ground water contaminant plume. 3. The proposed number, location and depth of plume assessment wells. The proposal shall include a discussion of the reasons for the location and depth of each plume assessment monitoring well. 4. A ground and surface water sampling plan prepared in accordance with the N.C. Water Quaff, Monitoring Guidance Document for Solid Waste Facilities. 5. A ground and surface water analysis plan which specifies parameters to be tested for in the plume assessment wells and surface water samples, including detectable levels and appropriate test methods. Additionally, a description of chain -of -custody and the laboratory's quality control and quality assurance procedures shall be included. In implementing the plan, analytical results must be submitted to the Division within 45-calendar days of sample collection and must specify collection date and well numbers (with a corresponding map of the wells). 6. Evaluation procedures, including any use of previously gathered ground water quality data. 7. The methods necessary to calculate the effect of the ground water discharge into nearby streams. 8. The location of the nearest downstream surface water intake in the watershed, and the location of all ground water wells within at least one half mile of the landfill site. 9. A schedule for implementation of the work described in the assessment plan. B. The Division shall review the submitted plan, approve it, or request more information or amendment, as it deems necessary. The approved plan constitutes the assessment plan which Pitt County shall implement. C. Any request for modification of the assessment plan must be submitted in writing to the Division and approved by the Division. D. If the Division determines that any submission of data or evaluation or report made pursuant to the approved assessment plan is inadequate, it will notify Pitt County and submit suggested corrections. If the parties cannot agree, they will proceed in accordance with the provisions of the "Dispute Resolution" Section of this Consent Agreement. E. All work performed pursuant to the assessment plan shall be performed under the supervision of a licensed professional geologist. F. Pitt County shall submit to the Division periodic reports summarizing work completed in the approved assessment plan. G. Within sixty (60) days of satisfactory completion of all elements of the assessment plan, Pitt County shall submit a final report including any proposals for further actions as may be recommended by the County and its consultants. The Division shall review the report and may request more information or amendment as it deems necessary. At the request of the Division, the County shall allow split or duplicate samples to be 0 taken by the Division, of any samples collected by the County pursuant to the implementation of this Consent Agreement. The County shall notify the Division not less than ten (10) days in advance of any sample collection activity. The Division shall also allow split or duplicate samples to be taken by the County of any samples collected by the Division during the period of performance of work associated with this Consent Agreement. The Division shall notify the County not less than ten (10) days in advance of any sample collection activity. The Division shall have the authority to enter and freely move about all property at the Site at all reasonable times for the purposes of, inter alia: inspecting non -privileged records, operating logs, and contracts related to work under this Consent Agreement: reviewing the progress of the County in carrying out the terms of this Consent Agreement; conducting such tests as the Division deems necessary; and verifying the data submitted to the Division by the County. The County shall permit authorized Division personnel to inspect and copy all non -privileged records, files, photographs, documents, and other writings including all sampling and monitoring data, in any way pertaining to work undertaken pursuant to this Consent Agreement. Documents subject to the attorney -client privilege or attorney work product doctrine are not subject to inspection and copying. VIII. Delay in Performance If any event occurs which causes delay in the achievement of the requirements of this Consent Agreement, Pitt County shall have the burden of showing that the delay was caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the County, which could not have been 0 overcome by due diligence. Pitt County shall promptly notify the Division's Primary Contact orally and shall, within seven (7) calendar days of oral notification to the Division, notify the Division in writing of the anticipated length and cause of the delay, and the timetable by which the County intends to implement these measures. If the parties can agree that the delay has been or will be caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the County, the time for performance hereunder shall be extended for a period equal to the delay resulting from such circumstances. Pitt County shall adopt all reasonable measures to avoid or minimize delay. Failure of the County to comply with the notice requirements of this paragraph shall render this paragraph void and constitute a waiver of the County's rights to request a waiver of the requirements of this Consent Agreement. Increased costs of performance of the terms of this Consent Agreement or changed economic circumstances shall not be considered circumstances beyond the control of Pitt County. In the event that the Division and Pitt County cannot agree that any delay in the achievement of the requirements of this Consent Agreement, including the failure to submit any report or document, has been or will be caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the County, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the provision of the "Dispute Resolution" Section of this Consent Agreement. IX. Depute Resolution If Pitt County objects to any notice of deficiency or decision made pursuant to this Consent Agreement by the Division, Pitt County shall notify the Division in writing of its objections within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the decision. The Division and Pitt 10 County then have an additional fourteen (14) calendar days from receipt by the Division of the notification of objection to reach agreement. If agreement cannot be reached on any issue within this fourteen (14) calendar day period, the Division shall immediately provide a written statement of its decision to Pitt County. Thereafter, if the Division and Pitt County cannot agree, the Division reserves its rights to pursue enforcement action against Pitt County. The County reserves the right to respond to such enforcement action. In performing a ground and surface water quality investigation pursuant to this Administrative Agreement on Consent, Pitt County denies any liability for damages, including investigation and remediation costs, related to environmental contamination. This Agreement is entered without prejudice to the County with respect to any determination concerning any further investigation and remediation, and without any commitment on the part of the County to perform any such further activity. It is also entered without prejudice to any claim which the County may have against any party with respect to: (a) any contamination at and near the landfill, (b) the investigation and remediation and (c) related costs. XI.

My client faxed me a copy of the first of the Greenville newspaper articles that stated that Pitt County will be moving forward to perform the groundwater survey. I was most concerned to see that Pitt County continues to point to Coastal Chemical as the source of the problem, particularly in light of my request that such accusations cease in my September 21, 1993 letter. In addition, I was shocked to see that Pitt County estimates that the investigation is expected to cost $100,000. I understand that in additional stories in the paper and on TV, Pitt County officials have stated that Superfund money may be sought at this site and that continued references have been made to Coastal Chemical's responsibility. As you know, Coastal Chemical performed substar:tial rasearch , both into Pitt County's files and independently, following our meeting with the Division of Solid Waste Management and determined that there is not sufficient evidence to tie the contamination detected at the landfill to Coastal Chemical's waste. In our last conversation, I informed you of this position, but stated that Coastal is still very interested in staying involved in this investigation and wanted to know what action Pitt County would take. You indicated that you would contact me once you spoke to your client. I received no further information on this matter until I received a call from my client yesterday and a copies of the newspaper articles. Needless to say, Coastal Chemical is very concerned about Pitt County's failure to provide Coastal with information about this William G. Ross, Jr., Esquire January 12, 1995 Page 2 investigation. We have sent repeated letters requesting to be kept up to date or to be provided information and are repeatedly the last to receive such information. I have attached some of our correspondence for your review. I believe that it is only logical that if Pitt County may, at some point, look to Coastal Chemical to assist in funding this investigation, we should at least be kept informed and allowed input into the process. As I have discussed with you a number of times, we have serious concerns about the work performed by Pitt County's chosen consultant, Groundwater Management, Inc. Not only do our consultants question the work already performed, but, as noted in previous correspondence, the proposal that we were provided for additional investigative work in the area of MW-2 was lacking in information that would be standard in the industry for such a hydrogeological investigation. At your request, we provided comments to that proposal, which, apparently were disregarded in constructing and sampling the piezometers. Coastal Chemical again requests that it be allowed an opportunity to provide input into the choice of the consulting firm to conduct such investigation and input into the scope of work to be performed. Further, until it is established that Coastal Chemical is the source of the contaminants in MW-2, Pitt County must cease publication of such allegations to the public. Coastal Chemical has information which calls this conclusion into question. Therefore, until such conclusion can be confirmed, Pitt County officials must not make such statements to the press. Please contact me to advise me of the status of this matter and Pitt County's position regarding the investigation of the area of MW-2 as soon as possible. I appreciate your attention to this matter.

The meeting was held in the Commissioners' Auditorium, Pitt County Office Building, 1717 West Fifth Street, Greenville, North Carolina with the following being present: Wilton R. Duke, Chairman Charles P. Gaskins, Vice Chairman Ed B. Bright, Commissioner Kenneth K. Dews, Commissioner Eugene James, Commissioner Thomas H. Johnson, Sr., Commissioner Farney M. Moore, Commissioner Mark W. Owens, Jr., Commissioner Jeffrey E. Savage, Commissioner Also present: Thomas B. Robinson, Manager John K. Bulow, Assistant Manager W. H. Watson, County Attorney Susan J. Banks, Clerk to Board i Chairman Duke called the meeting to order. Commissioner Gaskins gave the invocation and Commissioner Johnson led in the pledge of allegiance. Chairman Duke asked for approval of or changes to the agenda. Mr. Robinson asked to add a meeting for the Board to schedule concerning the convention center during his administrative report. Ms. Banks asked to have the closed session minutes of December 5, 1995, December 20, 1995 and October 3, 1994 approved in the closed session. Mr. Watson asked to withdraw the item on the donation of property to the Habitat for Humanity until further legal study could be conducted. UPON MOTION by Commissioner Savage, seconded by Commissioner Gaskins, the Board voted unanimously to approve the agenda with the requested changes. Chairman Duke asked for approval of the minutes of December 5, 9, 13, 20, 1994 meetings. UPON MOTION by Commissioner Gaskins, seconded by Commissioner James, the Board voted unanimously to approve the minutes of the December 5, 9, 13, 20, 1994 meetings. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS SOLID WASTE MATTERS Mr. Phil Dickerson, County Engineer, presented a Consent Agreement for further testing of the monitoring wells at the landfill. He stated that in 1993 the State required the County to monitor the wells for mercury and arsenic and the consent agreement outlines what the responsibilities are for the County. The agreement was reviewed in April 1994 and sent back to the State. The State responded December 8, 1994. Mr. Dickerson reported that Bill Watson, County Attorney, Pamela Best, Staff Attorney, as well as the Assistant Attorney General had all agreed to the wording. Mr. Dickerson said that he knew there was something of a problem but did not know just how extensive it was. Commissioner James asked if the County had liability insurance for such problems. Mr. Watson responded that the County has up to $1 million in insurance but that the County could also plead sovereign immunity as a government agency. He also said that if the county could prove that other parties are responsible then they could be made to share the cost of clean up. UPON MOTION by Commissioner Dews, seconded by Commissioner Savage, to approve the consent agreement. Discussion followed. Commissioner Owens called the question. Commissioner Johnson stated that this should be made clear that this is a limited situation and only the test will determine how extensive it is. He also said that the State now knows that the County is not going to assume the responsibility because the State approved it when the waste was placed in the landfill. Chairman Duke called for the vote. The Board approved the consent agreement with a unanimous vote. PROPOSED CABLECASTING OF BOARD MEETINGS Ms. Susan Moran, Public Information Officer, presented the costs associated with cablecasting Board meetings on a regular basis. She stated that the initial cost were budgeted for this fiscal year in anticipation of the Board choosing to go on cable. She stated that additional meetings and videos on County services would be in addition to the proposed costs. She stated that the figures were based on 41 board meetings last year and any additional meetings would be additional costs. Ms. Moran commented that the County had saved legal fees by hiring a PIO to handle the negotiations on the franchise agreements with the cable companies. Commissioner Savage supported the cablecast of the meetings because he felt since the County was collecting franchise fees then this would be a way to give something back to the citizens for their money.

Solid Waste Section NCDEM Regional Office 225 Greene Street, Suite 601 Fayetteville, NC 28301 Re: Revised Schedule Pitt County Landfill Dear Jim: As you are aware, the County has sought bids for the closure of its MSWLF as required by NC General Statutes for public projects expected to cost more than $100,000. various contractors had expressed interest in bidding on this work, but due to delays required to study the groundwater issues involved with the cap construction, the letting of bids did not occur until August. Our engineering consultant has made numerous contacts with potential bidders but all but one of the contract document holders decided not to submit a bid at this time. Reasons given for this lack of interest varied, however; a recurring theme was that contractors are attempting to complete their existing projects before winter and do not wish to take on a project of this magnitude until spring. This makes it likely that a project bid at this time will be performed at a significantly higher cost than would be the case if it were bid early in the construction season. An additional concern is that the weather most conductive to good moisture control of the fill is over. With the advent of hurricane season, the ground has become saturated and is likely to stay that way until spring. working the very plastic clays to be used in the landfill cap will be difficult or impossible this late in the construction season. Finally, the NC Solid Waste Section's concerns regarding potential normal water flow reversal due to borrow excavation adjacent to the MSWLF site have not been fully addressed. Our response to your concerns may involve grading plan modifications which might modify project cost or the construction sequence or methods. Recycled Paper r Mr. Jim Barber September 23, 1996 Page 2 The most sensible approach given the above facts is to delay the landfill closure to obtain good competitive bids and to allow time to more fully address groundwater concerns. We therefore, request that the county be granted an extension of time for the MSWLF closure commensurate with the following project schedule. Activitv Assess Groundwater Flow Impacts Due to Borrow Excavation Modify Closure Plan - Incorporate SWS Comments Let Projects for Bids Receive Bids Completion Date December 15, 1996 January 15, 1997 January 20, 1997 February 20, 1997 Execute Agreement --- - -_ March.-15 1997------- Notice to Proceed ----- -- April-1,-1997 Complete MSWLF Closure July 1, 1997 The advantages of the above schedule are as follows: 1) The revised schedule allows sufficient time to assess impacts to groundwater due to proposed borrow excavation adjacent to the MSWLF site. 2 ) The project would be bid when many qualified contractors including several with landfill closure experience would be interested in bidding. 3) Construction would occur at a time of year when it is generally easiest to control moisture. The cap quality will likely be better. Dewatering operations will be minimized. Please let us know if you concur with our revised construction schedule.

(Permit #74-01). Dear Mr. Dickerson, The Solid Waste Section (Section) is in receipt of the RI/FS Planning Documents submitted on behalf of Pitt County (County) by Aquaterra and the Area Characterization Report submitted on behalf of the County by Groundwater Management Associates, Inc. The Section notes that the NCP process for conducting the water quality assessment at this facility is not required by the Section and our review comments do not pertain to those aspects of the selected NCP process that are outside the domain of the Water Quality Assessment Plan as required by our agency. After reviewing these documents the following questions and requirements must be answered or satisfied before or during upcoming field activities. The following questions shall be answered before initiation of field activities: 1) Referring to page 1-2, section 1.3, does Pitt County (County) have any records of abandonment for the original monitoring wells (perhaps as many as seven) that were installed by the Department of Agriculture and monitored in 1981 and 1982 prior to the placement of waste over the fire residue cell? If so, please provide those records to the Section prior to beginning field activities. In addition, please provide, if available, a record of abandonment for the monitoring well #2 that was installed near the fire residue burial cell in 1986. 2) Clarification is needed on the first page of table 8, second bullet point, second column: what are IV and III in the parenthesis referring too? P.O.

Please propose a list of pesticides to be included in the analysis. 2) Comments on section 4.1.2.2 are as follows:. (a) The installation of the off -site wells should not delay or influence the completion of the other Phase I tasks. The County should keep the Solid Waste Section informed of the progress being made on securing permission to install the off -site wells. The Solid Waste Section requests a carbon copy on all correspondence to the adjacent property owner(s) or their representatives and that copies of all responses be provided. (b) The water level monitoring proposed in the work plan should be completed several days after any precipitation event and/or after the surface and ground water elevations have reached static conditions. (c) Conduct the geophysical logging proposed in the phase I tasks over the entire length of the wells. (d) Lithologic cross sections shall be prepared/updated with the additional data e.g. geophysical logs. The cross section(s) should extend to the depth of the reported production wells in the vicinity of the landfill. (e) A ground water flow net in plan view and cross section shall be developed. If a sufficient number of well nests are not available to construct a ground water flow net then additional wells must be installed where data gaps exist. 3) Please provide information on the location of the two Pitt County Utility Commission wells which are within the three-mile radius downgrading of the landfill (page 2-2, second paragraph). 4) It is the Section's understanding that there are one or more production wells (i.e. irrigation, supply, etc.) in the immediate area of the landfill. The County will be responsible for providing data on these wells and their impact on the ground water flow in the vicinity of the Landfill. Specific data on these wells shall include: screened intervals, pumping rate, duration of pumping (e.g. 12 months per year, 8 months per year), transmissivity and storativity values for the aquifer being pumped, etc. 5) In selecting the location of additional monitoring wells Pitt County shall consider the available data including the flow net and ground water velocity. 6) Figure 5 includes two geologic borings in the phase I activities but section 4.1.3.2 states that there will be three borings. Please provide information on the location of the third proposed phase I geologic boring. Also, the work proposed in section 4.1.3.2 shall be completed as part of Phase I. Comments on the Phase II Tasks: 1) A physical evaluation of the present landfill cap condition and materials shall be added to the phase II tasks. 2) If the proposed wells don't address the questions concerning ground water flow and plume dimensions around P-15, additional monitoring well installations in this area will be necessary. 3) The location of the phase II deeper well associated with MW-2 is proposed to be " downgradient of MW-2" but " in close enough proximity to MW-2 in order to obtain information on vertical gradients at the site" (page 4-3). Prior to the phase II installation of the proposed deeper well, determination of the northern boundary of the fire residue cell is necessary. Referring to the Area Characterization Report submitted by Groundwater Management Associates: 1) Provide a well survey document for the landfill supply well (labeled as PW and WS 1 on sampling information). 2) Based on previous inquiries by the Section to the County, the Section was unaware of the number of private wells that are operational in close proximity to the landfill. After reviewing the Area Characterization Report, the Section is requiring the County to develop a private well sampling program and submit a copy within the next 30 days to the Section for review and approval.

The burned and damaged remains from the fire scene were deposited in a discrete cell within the Pitt County Landfill facility. Groundwater monitoring wells were installed around the cell and were monitored periodically in the early 1980's. It is my understanding that after reviewing the ground and surface water data from the site the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at that time recommended no further action. The monitoring wells were subsequently destroyed and waste was placed over the cell. The cell was not monitored until another monitoring well was installed adjacent to the cell in 1986. That monitoring well yielded only enough sample for Total Organic Halides (TOX) analysis. TOX data from this well was elevated. In 1990 the above well was replaced because the contractor sampling the monitoring wells was reportedly "unable to sample well #2 due to damage to casing". The State of North Carolina Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section (Section) staff and Pitt County's (County) sampling contractor split sampled the replacement well in 1991. Volatile organic compounds, semi -volatile organic compounds, inorganic constituents, and pesticides were detected. Subsequent sampling confirmed the presence of these constituents. The Section and the County entered into an Administrative Agreement on Consent for the purposes of conducting an assessment of the ground and surface water at the County's landfill facility. P.O.

Because of the EPA's past involvement at the site and because this site is on the Region IV Wastelan Inventory List the Section wanted to keep you apprised of the recent developments. We will continue to keep you informed of future developments. Because of the NCP-like approach the County has chosen to address this site, the Section may request your review of the process and reports in the future. Once again, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and discussing the recent developments at this site.

In response to the County's request, the RI/FS Work Plan and submits the following comments for consideration. While we understand that Pitt County is under a very tight ti rev.chediew thee as de Plan ined in the Administrative Agreement on Consent, GW s opportunity to been brief. We acknowledge that some of our comments result CouG y''and its s late introduction into this process and our lack of participation on with the State; consultant during the development process of the ii21Vk 1996,1an.

If such an extension of time nis granted, asit down withlyoutand your o have the opportunity to provide additional commentsd if possible consultant to discuss the technical rationale of the Work Plan and our specific comments. GW's comments on the RVFS Work Plan are as follows: General Comments The Wort: Plan's stated objective to "Characterize and determine the lateral and vertical gulated substances (constituents, concentrations, and extent of any impacts from re distributions) to affected media including groundwater, conduct a very broad inveace water, and st gallon of found on (pg.l-1) appears to indicate the intent a 1-3 and the phased the Landfill site. Yet, the specific site management strategy (p$• ) approach outlined on (pg. 4-2) would indicate the County's intent to narrowly focus its efforts on the contamination detected in areas around 1 P 1� on h Mbeen detected in wells W-2. The information provided in the Work Plan would indicate that co Glaxo Wellcome Inc.

The County does not provide a clear rationale for narrowing the focus to the northern edge of the northern unit. We would suggest the Work Plan narrow the scope of the plan objectives to that required to investigate the northern unit or the site management strategy be written to investigate all contamination identified in the northern and southern units. The objectives stated in the Work Plan do not appear to focus on data collection or what is truly needed to satisfy risk assessment concerns and the most likely remedial alternatives. It would appear that the Plan focuses on reviewing existing information, determining the extent of contamination, and reviewing relevant guidance. A rework of the stated objectives to provide a stronger foundation for a more cost effective RJ/FS document is recommended. We are concerned that the Work Plan appears to leave much of the actual work planning to be done after the Work Plan is approved. While we understand that some judgment and discretion is necessary in any assessment, we are also concerned that alleged PRPs only have the right to comment before the adoption of the Work Plan. Leaving critical technical decisions to be made later in the discretion of the county or the contractor deprives alleged PRPs from the opportunity to have input on these decisions, decisions that the county has said it will expect alleged PRPs to pay for. We think that the Work Plan should provide more technical detail so that the affected community can have a meaningful opportunity to comment on the technical aspects of the Work Plan. Specific Comments The Plan on (pg. 1-2) states that the facility accepted solid and nonhazardous waste only, after RCRA legislation became effective. GW suggests the County indicate in the Plan, the exact date that the County's ordinance went into effect that prohibited the disposal of hazardous waste in the landfill. There is an inadequate discussion in the Work Plan of hydraulically upgradient background groundwater quality. Groundwater contamination has been detected in wells that are along the northern edge of the northern unit but upgradient of the unit. The contamination in these wells may be coming from sources hydraulically upgradient of the landfill rather than from the landfill itself. The County recommends in their Work Plan two wells about 50 feet hydraulically upgradient of contaminated well P14, presumably to monitor background conditions. These wells are too close to the landfill for their intended purpose, and only one well is needed. GW would recommend a single well several hundred feet upgradient (i.e., to the north) of the landfill to monitor background groundwater quality. The County has proposed some shallow wells near contaminated well MW-2. No clear rationale has been provided for these wells and most of them appear to be too close to MW-2 to be of any value in the investigation. If groundwater data are needed for general characterization GW recommends that an approach such as direct -push technology (e.g., GeoprobeS or equivalent) be employed. This approach would be more cost effective. Di<krr A'.:.,ircy iris, 2or4 . . . . - c __ 7 7 — - J —4 H There are discrepancies between well designations and depths in the site inspection (SI) and in the Work Plan. In Figure 4-1 of the SI, the well designated JvM-04 appears to be tM he one designated W-01 in Figure 2 of the Work Plan, and the well designated MVV-01 appears to be the one designated NM-05 in Appendix B, Figure 3, of the Work Plan. The depths of the four wells as described in the SY do not agree with the depths of the wells described in the Work Plan. These discrepancies should be resolved to eliminate potential confusion. Other than narrowing the list of analytical parameters for new wells, the rationale for the phasing of the field activities presented on (pg. 4-1) is not clear. A phased approach would appear to be inappropriate for this project. All wells should be installed in one phase to minimize mobilization costs. The proposed soil borings will provide useful information on the subsurface. However, it appears that they could be done in conjunction with drilling the borehole for a monitoring well rather than being separate borings. The borehole would be advanced to the top of the Yorktown confining layer to determine its depth, then backfilled to the appropriate depth for the monitoring well. Also, any soil boring drilled downgradient of any part of the landfill should be drilled in a fashion that prevents cross -contamination of shallow horizons to deeper horizons. The Work Plan mentions that groundwater fate and transport modeling (pg. 4-4) and a risk assessment (pg. 4-5) maybe performed and hoc when thesemmunity elations plan (pg. 4-5) would be performed or -- PRGs (pg. 5-4) may be developed. The criteria developed should be defined. In a related matter, on (pg. 5-4) mention is made of "EPA's Baseline Risk Assessment." It is unclear why EPA would be doing a risk assessment when the site is not on the NPL- Page 4-9 of the Plan indicates the County's intent to conduct a federal and state applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements(ARAR). GW questions the cost effectiveness of conducting such a review. Since the landfill site is not on the NPL, the need to incur the expense of such a review would appear to be inappropriate. There currently is an inadequate definition of the hydrogeology of the deep groundwater aquifer, with only two wells providing information.eell would appear to beTwo wells exist and a t olrd well is o close to one �roposed by the County. However, the new p of the existing deep wells to add significantly to the County's understanding of the nature and distribution of the deep groundwater aquip---, Gw wvuld iccommcnd that additional, more -widely spaced wells be installed. Based on the available data, groundwater contamination is migrating off the site and downgradient (i.e., to the northeast) from the vicinity of well P25. However, no wells are proposed to determine the extent of contamination in this direction. We recommend that samples obtained near the Pesticide Burial Area be analyzed for pesticides in addition to those stated in the Plan. D,ckcr;on/Cs:aeV Nn r.tON - r - . +, T N0 W 96-ZZ-ztld�-J On page 3-3, site ecology is proposed to be evaluated. The Work Plan should be clear on how ecological threats will truly be evaluated so that superfluous data are not collected. With regard to the FS, EPA, or State presumptive remedies for municipal landfills should be considered. The availability of presumptive remedies could significantly reduce the cost of the FS. There is no clearly defined sampling strategy for surface water and sediment described in the Work Plan. The County should provide a detailed description of the program in the Sampling Plan, to include the number of samples, location, and overall approach to surface water and sediment sampling including upstream downstream analyzed in theocations. The surface water should also define in more detailparameters to and sediment samples.

Dickerson Pitt County Engineer Pitt County Office Building 1717 West Fifth Street Greenville, N.C. 27834 Re: Comments and Questions Generated During the Review of Pitt County's Sanitary Landfill Draft Water Quality Assessment Work Plan Submitted by Aquaterra. (Permit - #74-01). Dear Mr. Dickerson, The following are comments and questions generated by the Solid Waste Section (Section) during the review of the above referenced work plan. 1) Can the total depth for the onsite supply well (labeled as PW and WS1 on sampling information) be determined? Do any construction/completion and boring log records exist for this well? 2) Referring to page 1-2, section 1.3, does Pitt County (County) have any records of abandonment for the original monitoring wells (perhaps as many as seven) that were installed by the Department of Agriculture and monitored in 1981 and 1982 prior to the placement of waste over the fire residue cell? 3) The Section requests that the results of the private well survey be included in the first monthly report (page 1-5). 4) For clarification, arsenic has consistently been detected in ground water samples from MW-2 (page 2-5, second paragraph).

This requirement can be satisfied during assessment activities (page 4-2, sections 4.1.2.2 and 4.1.2.3). ' 6) If the County decides not to use a CLP laboratory as proposed then a laboratory certified by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) for groundwater analysis (15A NCAC 2H .0800) should be utilized. The DEM certified laboratory is required to perform water analysis using the approved methods and at the approved levels of certification for solid waste management facilities. Data from laboratories that do not have the appropriate certification or did not use specified test methods will be deemed unacceptable. QA/QC data (test methods, PQL's, surrogate recoveries) should be included with all sample and blank data. 7) Specifically referring to the first bullet point on page 4-3, further details will be needed on the "deep" well and its purpose before installation. Generally, it is necessary once the final locations have been decided to obtain Section approval on the installation or abandonment of all monitoring wells and piezometers. All future monitoring wells should be constructed according to the standards set forth in the N. C.A. C., Title 1 SA, Subchapter 2C Section .0100, Well Construction Standards and the North Carolina Water Quality Monitoring Guidance Document For Solid Waste Facilities (see Draft Field Sampling Plan, page 4-10, Section 4.3.1.1). 8) The last sentence in section 4.1.3.2, page 4-3, needs clarification. 9) What are the "other factors" that will be considered to determine the list of analytical parameters (page 4-8, section 4.3.3.3)? 10) It should be noted that according to the Section's records the original MW-2 installed in September 1986 near the fire residue cell was only sampled once (9/11/87). It was reported at that time that MW-2 did not contain enough water for a full analysis. Samples could not be retrieved from MW-2 during the September 1989 event because of "casing damage". The Section does not have any record of proper abandonment for this well. The existing MW-2 was installed 5/31/90. Table 1 and the narrative portion of the plan should reflect the above information and any additional monitoring well construction/installation and abandonment data. 11) Title changes are needed on pages 2 and 3 of Table 8. Also from Table 8, if modelling is not performed, what methods will be utilized to define potential impacts of releases to underlying soils and groundwater? 12) Once the ground water flow direction has been ascertained it will be necessary in a subsequent phase to install a monitoring well(s) downgradient of the landfill in zones beneath the surficial aquifer giving the capability to detect vertical migration of contaminants and determine potentiometric gradients. In the future two copies of progress reports and additional assessment phase plans will be sufficient. If you have any questions about this letter, please contact me at (919) 733-0692, extension 261.
