RE: 14-DAY NOTIFICATION FOR BARIUM, CHROMIUM, COBALT, VANADIUM
SECOND SEMI-ANNUAL WATER QUALITY MONITORING EVENT OF 2018
HANES MILL ROAD LANDFILL, PERMIT NO. 34-02
WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA
Dear Jackie,
Project No. 0939668719
On behalf of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County City/County Utilities Commission (CCUC), Golder Associates NC,
Inc. (Golder) is submitting this 14-Day Notification as required by North Carolina Solid Waste Management
Regulation (NCSWMR) 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 13B .1633(c)(1). The 14-Day
Notification of Groundwater Protection Standard Exceedance(s) form is included as Attachment 1.
Tables 1 through 4 (shown below) summarize the NC Appendix I constituents that were detected at
concentrations above their respective NC 2L Groundwater Standards or Interim Maximum Allowable
Concentrations (IMACs) during the second semi-annual water quality monitoring event of 2018 conducted at the
closed unlined landfill, the closed Subtitle D landfill, and the active Subtitle D landfill at the above -referenced
facility between December 11 - 14, 2018, and the sampling of the newly installed background wells MW-23 and
MW-24 on December 21, 2018. The laboratory certificates -of -analyses are submitted under separate cover. It is
noted that the Closed Unlined Landfill is in corrective action for volatile organic compounds (VOCs); therefore, no
notifications for groundwater standard exceedances for NC Appendix I VOCs are required for this facility.

Above -standard concentrations of barium and cobalt in samples from downgradient monitoring wells at the closed
unlined landfill, chromium and cobalt in samples from downgradient monitoring wells at the closed Subtitle D
landfill, and cobalt in samples from downgradient wells at the active Subtitle D landfill metals were addressed in
the May 21, 2018, Response to Alternate Source Demonstration - Request for Additional Information, prepared by
Golder. Based on a follow up letter from the NC DEQ dated June 8, 2018, two additional background wells
(MW-23 and MW-24) were installed in November 2018 to collect additional analytical data over a two-year period
to evaluate background concentrations of inorganic constituents at the closed unlined landfill, closed Subtitle D
landfill, and the active Subtitle D landfill.
The CCUC will continue monitoring the uppermost aquifer beneath the closed unlined landfill in accordance with
the requirements of the Assessment Monitoring Program as outlined in Title 15A NCAC 13B .1634 and will
continue monitoring the uppermost aquifer beneath the closed and active Subtitle D landfills in accordance with
the requirements of the Detection Monitoring Program as outlined in Title 15A NCAC 13B .1633. A complete
semi-annual report is being submitted under separate cover. The next compliance monitoring event for this
facility is scheduled for March 2019. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at 336 852-4903.
