From 1976 to 1997, Guilford County operated the Granville County Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) - Unit 1 under Permit No. 3901-MSWLF-1981, with an initial disposal area of 21.9 acres. The landfill stopped receiving waste on or before January 1, 1998 (DIN 8803). The extent of the unlined closed MSWLF disposal area is 28.8 acres and the in-place waste volume of the closed MSWLF is approximately 690,261 tons or 1,380,522 cubic yards (DIN 8899). The landfill was not constructed with a liner beneath the waste but was constructed with a landfill cover system consisting of 1.5-feet-thick compacted soil layer with the permeability less than 1*10-5 cm/sec, which was overlain by a 1.5-feet-thick erosive layer (FID 1280839). 2. In 1997, the transition plan for the unlined MSWLF included a permit modification request to construct and operate a Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill (C&DLF) unit on top of the closed MSWLF- Unit 1. On January 1, 1998, this C&DLF unit began receiving waste. The actual disposal area at the C&DLF was approximately 9.4 acres (DIN 22367).
