C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
I. GENERAL
This report was prepared on behalf of Coble’s Sandrock in accordance with the North
Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules, 15A NCAC 13B, Sections .207 and .500.
The intent is to demonstrate compliance with the applicable permit application
requirements therein so that a permit renewal for Life of Site may be issued for the
Coble’s Sandrock Construction and Demolition Landfill.
The C&D Landfill is owned and operated by Kent and Brenda Coble. The facility is
currently operating under North Carolina Solid Waste Permit No. 01-05. The site was
originally permitted for operation in September 30, 1998. DENR Solid Waste Section
issued Permit to Continued Operate for Phase 1 & 2 in February 2009. Permit to
Construct Phases 3A & 3B expansion was issued on January 30, 2009. Joyce
Engineering submitted Letter of Notification for Partial Closure of Phases 1 & 2 in April
2010. Permit to Operate Phases 2 and 3A was issued in April 2011 with Permit for
Construction Phase 3B expansion. Five-year operation permit for Phases 2 and 3A and
Permit to Construction was issued on February 2016. Coble Sandrock is conducting
active landfilling in the Phase 3A, while excavating and selling sandrock from the Phase
3B footprint. Permit condition in Attachment 2 notes that the Permit to Construct (PTC)
shall expire August 8, 2017 , eighteen (18) months from the issuance date of the permit
according to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0534(b)(2)(H) if the initial or substantial construction
authorized in the permit does not begin within 18 months from the issuance date of the
permit, then the permittee must obtain a permit modification from the Section prior to
construction, comply with the conditions of the approval and submit a permit modification
fee. Substantial construction includes, but is not limited to, issuance of construction
contracts, mobilization of equipment on site, and construction activities including
installation of sedimentation and erosion control structures. A Modification to the Permit
to Construct for the facility will be required in accordance with rules in effect at the time of
review of the request and shall be subject to a permit modification fee according to NCGS
130A-295.8. Coble’s has been excavating the 3B footprint since the issue for PTC in April
2011. The mining has been slow process due to annual demand for the sandrock, but the
3B area is under construction for the landfill expansion.

In addition to disposing of C&D waste in an unlined landfill, various waste recovery and
processing activities are carried out at the site. These include a land clearing and inert
debris (LCID) disposal area, temporary storage and grinding of wood waste, collection
of recyclable metal materials, collection rubble concrete and asphalt shingles for off-
site recycling or disposal, and dismantling phased out mobile home units. Facilities
such as a scale house and maintenance building are also located on the site. According
to the annual facility report for FY2018, 14,887 tons of solid waste was received at
the C&D landfill. Of this total 70.86 tons was cardboard, 1,513 tons of metal, 421 tons
of concrete/rubble/asphalt, and 471 of wood waste. Total recycled content was 2,476
tons and landfilled 12,411 tons.

FACILITY PLAN
This facility plan defines the development of the Coble’s Sandrock C&D landfill property and
describes the permit of an existing facility. This plan includes narrative and drawings, which
present the long-term, general design concepts related to construction, operation, and
closure of the C&DLF unit(s). Additional solid waste management activities located at the
C&DLF facility must be identified in the plan and must meet the requirements of the SWMP
.0537 Subchapter. The facility plan defines the waste stream proposed for management at
the C&DLF facility. If different types of landfill units or non-disposal activities are included in
the facility design, this plan must describe general waste acceptance procedures.
The areal limits of the C&DLF unit(s), total capacity of the C&DLF unit(s), and the proposed
waste stream must be consistent with the Division's approval set forth in accordance with
Rule .0536 (a)(1). Original Facility and Engineering Plans Drawings (FP-01, FP-02 and EP-04,
EP-05) provide the information required in Section .0537(d).

1. Waste Stream
Types of Waste Specified for Disposal: Only construction/demolition debris will be accepted
at the C&D landfill, and only land clearing/inert debris (LCID) will be accepted in permitted
LCID areas. Construction and demolition debris defined in NC General Statutes is waste or
debris resulting solely from construction, remodeling, repair, or the demolition of pavement,
buildings, or other structures. LCID waste is generated from land clearing activities.
Service Area: The Alamance County Franchise Agreement, provided in Appendix I, limits the
service area to be served by the Coble’s Sandrock Landfill to customers within 25 miles
from the site. Existing customers outside the 25-mile service limitation are grandfathered
under the Franchise Agreement and Coble's Sandrock may continue to accept wastes from
these customers. Coble's Sandrock may also accept waste from new customers outside the
25-mile service area to replace existing customers outside the service area; however, first
priority in terms of disposal capacity is to be given to waste generated within Alamance
County.
The Counties from which the facility has previously taken waste include Alamance, Cabarrus,
Caswell, Chatham, Davidson, Forsyth, Green, Guilford, Lee, Orange, Randolph, Rockingham,
and Wake. Alamance County recognizes that the Coble Sandrock C&D landfill currently
accepts waste from customers outside the 25-mile radius, and these existing customers are
grandfathered under the Franchise Agreement. New customers outside the 25-mile radius
may be accepted to replace the existing customers in accordance with Section 4 of the
Franchise Agreement.
Segregation Management Procedures: Recyclable material will be segregated from the
waste stream and temporarily stored in containers or stockpiles prior to removal from the
site. Recyclable material may include wood, metals, concrete, plastic, cardboard, and other
materials with appropriate recycling markets. Scrap metal is removed from the site
frequently and taken to D.H. Griffin Wrecking Co. Inc. Cardboard is stored in a 40-yard
container that is removed from the site by Federal Paper Board when full. Coble’s Sandrock
deconstructs mobile trailer homes at the working face of the C&D landfill. Identified C&D
waste material removed from the deconstruction process is placed into the landfill. The
franchise agreement requires monitoring waste and to reject any significant levels of
asbestos.
The locations of the mobile trailer home deconstruction area and the recyclables storage
areas follow the location of the working face as it progresses across the landfill.
Equipment: Coble Sandrock proposes to operate the following equipment at the C&D
landfill:
• CAT 330 CL
• CAT 973 Loader
• CAT 330 CL
• TREMAC Shear Muncher
• LayMor Sweeper

2. Landfill Capacity
Overall Facility Life
The available airspace for waste, operational cover soil and intermediate cover material for
the entire facility is 6,935,903 cy. Assuming that 10% of that volume will be soil, 6,242,313
cy are available for waste material. If an in-place waste density of 1050 lbs/cy is used, the
remaining tonnage capacity of the landfill is 3,277,214 tons. The in-place waste density
stated above is within the typical range of densities measured for C&D debris.
Based on the historical record from 1999 to 2018, Coble’s Sandrock landfilled an average
of 34,512 tons per year. Using this historical average, the remaining capacity calculates
approximately 48,536 cy or one year of life in the permitted Phases 1-3A. Subsequently,
Phase 3B is under construction and utilizing its added capacity the full date would be 2026
(34,512 tons/yr).
The Franchise Agreement for Coble’s Sandrock limits the waste acceptance rate to 600 tons
per day or approximately 180,000 tons a year. Projecting the facility’s life with the franchise
agreement volume, the entire landfill permitted Phases 1-8 volume would be consumed by
2035.
Phase 3B has been permitted for construction (PTC) and is under construction at the time of
this five-year renewal application. Future phases 4-8 are approved for development and
require permits to construct and operate.

Overall Facility Soil Balance
The base grading plan, including access roads, for the entire remaining facility yields a net
1,537,784 cy of cut. Approximately 325,871 cy of soil will be needed for final cap (3 feet
thick) construction. Assuming 10% of the volume will be soil material, 693,590 cy of soil will
be needed for intermediate cover material. Subtracting the estimated soil requirements
from the calculated available cut material leaves an excess of 518,323 cy of soil.
Soil borings and closure construction completed over the years on the site and the
laboratory testing results indicate that the near-surface soils have hydraulic conductivity in
the order of 1x10-7 cm/sec, and are therefore suitable for use as cover material.
Phase 3B
To evaluate the air space requirement for a 5-year phase, assuming an average of past 5-
year tonnage of 12,368 tons/year the projected total tonnage for the next 5-year phase is
61,840 tons. Assuming an in-place waste density of 1050 lbs per cubic yard, the required
air space for waste next 5-year phase is 117,790 cubic yards. In addition, assuming that a
6-inch lift of cover soil will be placed on the working face once per week, an additional 10%
(11,779 cubic yards) of air space is required. Therefore, the total air space required, not
including the intermediate or final cap is 129,569 cubic yards. Phase 3B permitted gross
capacity is 349,213 cu. 3B is currently under construction and the work is anticipated to be
complete by mid-year at which time the Construction documents will be submitted to the
Section for review and issuance for Permit to Operate.
3. Special Engineering Features
Containment and Environmental Control Systems
Cap System:
The cap system is described from bottom to top in the following paragraphs.
Infiltration Barrier: An infiltration barrier will consist of an 18-inch low-permeability
soil layer compacted to achieve a hydraulic conductivity no greater than 1 x 10-5 cm/sec.
The 18-inch low permeability soil barrier may be replaced with a geosynthetic clay layer
(GCL), as discussed in the Engineering Plan of this report. The low-permeability soil barrier,
or the GCL, will lie directly above an intermediate soil cover layer of at least 12 inches in
thickness.
Erosion Control Components (Protective Layer and Erosion Layer): A protective layer
consisting of at least 18 inches of local soil will be placed on top of the infiltration barrier.
The erosion and protective layers will not be heavily compacted so that vegetative growth
will be promoted. Soil tests will be conducted prior to seeding to determine if amendments
to the soil are needed to establish a healthy stand of vegetation.

Coble Sandrock, North Carolina
5
Vegetative Cover: After placement of the erosion layer, the area that has been closed
will be seeded with a grass mixture. Mulch and erosion control matting will be used as
needed to further minimize erosion.
Leachate Management Systems:
Leachate collection and management systems are not designed or permitted for this
construction and demolition unlined waste disposal facility.
Base Liner Systems:
The base of the landfill is excavated to designed base grades and remaining native
soil will serve as the base of the landfill, with the condition that the upper two feet of the
base soils consist of the following soil types: SC, SM, ML, CL, MH, or CH (according to
Unified Soil Classification System).
Gas Management System:
Passive gas vents will be installed to a minimum depth of 10-feet in the waste mass
at a frequency of one vent per acre.
4. Partial Closure of the Landfill
The west side of the landfill Phases 1 and 2 were closed in 2012-2013 and the CQA
report was submitted to the Section in August 2013. Coble has continued partial closure in
the north end of the landfill during 2014 and 2016. Areas marked on the closure map as
12 and 13 both piggyback on the Phase 1 east side slopes, encompass approximately 3.6
acres. The closure CQA report is submitted to the Section under separate cover.

WHEREAS, the August 6, 2012 Franchise Ordinance has a seven (7) year term from its effective date of September 2, 2012; and
WHEREAS, Coble's Sandrock, Inc. ("Coble's") is currently operating a construction and demolition debris landfill within the jurisdiction of Alamance County pursuant to said Ordinance;
WHEREAS, Coble's wishes to move forward with the next phase of its construction and demolition debris landfill pursuant to a new Ordinance Granting a Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill Franchise to Coble's Sandrock, Inc., and desires to have the Franchise Ordinance run for a term of seven (7) years concurrent with the permit issued to Coble's by the State of North Carolina; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners desires to grant to Coble's Sandrock, Inc. a franchise with a seven (7) year term for the disposal of construction and demolition debris in Alamance County.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR THE COUNTY OF ALAMANCE DOTH ORDAIN:
Section 1. Pursuant to the Alamance County Landfill Franchise Ordinance and North Carolina General Statutes §§ 130A-294, 153A-121 and 153A-136, Coble's is hereby granted a franchise to proceed with permitting of the next cells and further expansion of its construction and demolition landfill on Foster Store Road in the County of Alamance, as reflected on Exhibit A, and to operate said landfill in Alamance County. Although the total projected life of the landfill is in excess of 20 years, the active landfill cells will utilize no more than 16 acres of space during the seven (7) year term of this franchise and the average daily volume
(based on weekday operation) accepted at the landfill will not exceed 600 tons of construction and demolition debris (excluding recycled material).
Section 2. The landfill will continue to be operated as Coble's Sandrock, Inc. Kent and Brenda Coble currently own 100% of the stock in the corporation and will seek approval from the County before the transfer of any ownership interest to anyone other than one of the following immediate family members: Deanna C. Martin, Carey C. Rohrer, and Jennifer C. Gum. Transfer of said stock by any family member to anyone outside the family must be approved by the County.
Section 3. Throughout the term of this new franchise and at Coble's election, Coble's will either (1) maintain a. $500,000,00 pollution liability insurance policy, with the County named as an additional insured, or (2) provide $500,000.00 of financial security using a mechanism satisfactory to both the County and Coble's, throughout the life of the landfill. The requirement for financial security will terminate and be returned to Coble's twenty (20) years after the landfill is closed.
Section 4. The population to be served by the landfill will consist primarily of commercial contractors who specialize in construction, demolition, and land-clearing activities and haulers who haul materials generated from such activities. Except as set forth below, the area to be served by the landfill will be limited to a service area of twenty-five (25) miles from the landfill. The County recognizes that Coble's currently accepts waste from customers
located more than twenty-five (25) miles from the landfill and these existing customers are hereby grandfathered under this franchise. Coble's has provided to the County a list of existing customers and the twenty-five (25) mile service area limitation shall not apply to and Coble's may continue to accept waste from said entities and their divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns and successors in interest. Coble's also may accept waste from new customers outside
the twenty-five (25) mile service area to replace existing customers outside the twenty-five (25) mile service area. Although Coble's may accept waste from outside the twenty-five (25) mile radius as noted above, Coble's agrees to give first priority in terms of space in the landfill to Alamance County generated waste.
Section 5. Coble's will construct new landfill cells with a uniform foundation layer
free from preferential flow paths. Such a foundation can consist of natural soils or compacted fill located on site. In the event that a soil or rock layer is encountered at the base of the landfill which would serve as a preferential flow path that would alter the ability of the site's
groundwater monitoring system to detect contamination in the uppermost significant aquifer, a re-compacted soil layer shall be constructed as follows:
The affected area will be over excavated a minimum of two feet and replaced with a two-foot thick re-compacted soil layer. Compaction will be a minimum of 95% compaction and the layer will be
constructed in four equal lifts.
Section 6. The waste stream that may be accepted by the landfill will be composed of waste or debris resulting from roofing, construction, remodeling, repair, or demolition
2
operations on pavement, buildings, or other structures. There also will be waste accepted
from land-clearing activities such as stumps, trees, limbs, brush, and other naturally occurring vegetative matter. Inert debris such as concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soil, gravel and rock, and wood also will be accepted. Yard waste, including grass, will not be accepted at the landfill. Coble's must monitor the waste offered to the landfill and reject any loads of floor tiles or very old siding and very old roofing shingles that are likely to contain significant levels of asbestos. Other unacceptable wastes include friable asbestos,
organic/household wastes, wastes that have been in contact with petroleum, solvents, or chemicals waste containing PCBs, and waste that has been in contact with pesticides or herbicides.
Section 7. The application and fee of $100.00 have been received.
Section 8. The current stated gate rate for the landfill and the stated gate rate that Coble's anticipates will be in effect on or before September 2, 2019 is $33.50 a ton with a minimum charge of $15 per load. Coble's shall give notice of any proposed stated gate rate change to the County at least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed effective date of the rate
change.
Section 9. This franchise shall have a term of seven (7) years, running from the
effective date set forth in Section 14 below.
Section 10. Coble's agrees to operate the landfill in accordance with all applicable laws
and regulations and comply in all material respects with any permit issued by the State of North 'Carolina.
Section 11. Coble's will instruct all haulers using the landfill to comply with
N.C.G.S. § 20.116(g).
Section 12. Coble's will comply with the Alamance County Recycling Ordinance and will separate recyclable cardboard from the waste received at the landfill.
Section 13. Coble's will pay an annual host fee to the County of One Dollar (S1.00) per ton of waste deposited in the landfill beginning the day the new cell is opened for business. No
host fee is required for materials that are recycled and, therefore, not deposited in the landfill. The host fee shall be paid based on the monthly volume of waste deposited in the landfill and shall be paid for each month by the 15th of the following month. The official volume of waste deposited in the landfill shall be based on Coble's annual report filed with the State of North Carolina by August 1 of each year. If the annual report shows a higher volume of waste
deposited in the landfill than reflected in earlier payments, then Coble's will pay the host fee for July plus $1.00 per ton for any excess amount reflected in the annual report no later than August 15. if the annual report shows a lesser volume of waste deposited in the landfill than reflected in earlier payments, then Coble's will pay the host fee for July less $1,00 per ton for the lesser amount reflected in the annual report no later than August 15.

Section 14. This ordinance requires readings and approval at two regular meetings of the Board of Commissioners of Alamance County, pursuant to and as required by N.C.G.S. § 153A-46, and will become effective on September 2, 2019,

OPERATIONS PLAN
The owner or operator of a C&DLF unit must prepare an operation plan for each phase of
landfill development. Each phase of operation must be defined by an area, which contains
approximately five years of disposal capacity. The Plan drawings must be consistent with
the engineering plan and prepared in a format useable for the landfill operator. No changes
to the Engineering Plan are proposed for this five-year permit renewal and Life of Site
application. This Plan is compiled to address the rule .0542 for a C&D landfill operation.
1. Waste Acceptance and Disposal
Only construction/demolition and land clearing/inert debris is proposed for disposal at the
landfill in their respective permitted areas. Construction and demolition debris is defined in
NC General Statutes as waste or debris resulting solely from construction, remodeling,
repair, or the demolition of pavement, buildings, or other structures. Land clearing and inert
debris includes waste such as stumps, trees, limbs, leaves, brush, grass, brick, block and
untreated wood. The landfill owner or operator will notify the Division of Waste Management
(Division) within 24 hours of attempted disposal of any waste the C&DLF is not permitted to
receive, including waste from outside the area the landfill is permitted to serve.
Non-disposable treatment/process waste such as recyclable material will be segregated
from the waste stream and temporarily stored in containers or stockpiles prior to being
removed from the site. Recyclable material may include wood, yard waste, metals, mobile
home destruction materials, concrete, cardboard, post-consumer asphalt shingles, and
other materials identified as appropriate for recycling.
Land clearing debris and clean wood is stockpiled and ground to mulch periodically.
Engineered wood is separated from clean wood and ground periodically and sold for boiler
fuel. The wood grinding and stockpiling is currently conducted within the Phase 4 landfill
footprint.
Coble’s Sandrock destructs mobile trailer homes at the working face of the C&D landfill.
Identified C&D waste material removed from the destruction process is placed into the
landfill. The mobile home destruction and the recyclable materials storage area is at the
working face of the landfill. Scrap material is removed from the site frequently and taken to
D.H. Griffin Wrecking Co. Inc. In the process of destruction of the mobile homes, the facility
operator will adhere to Section 6 in the County Franchise Agreement regarding asbestos and
the Solid Waste Section guidance document.
The landfill receives broken concrete, block and brick from demolition projects. The material
is stockpiled on site and crushed to ruble. A vendor provides the crushing operation once or
twice a year and the rubble is sold for aggregate. The concrete stockpiling and crushing is
conducted within the Phase 4 landfill footprint.

C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS 3 May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
Cardboard is stored in a 40-yard container that is removed from the site by Federal Paper
Board when full.
Various plastics are received with the waste, but due to the variety of the material and
limited quantity the plastics are placed in the working face for landfilling.
The facility is permitted for recycling post-consumer asphalt shingles, and the shingles are
periodically picked up by S.T. Wooten Corporation. The asphalt shingles stockpiling is within
the Phase 4 landfill footprint.
The facility engages temporary disaster debris staging and the old LCID landfill mining and
screens wood from soil. The wood is mixed with the clean land clearing debris, and the
material is ground and included in the mulch. The mulch is sold to general public.
The recyclable and recoverable materials will be segregated from the waste stream and
temporarily stored in containers or stockpiles. The facility maintains variety of heavy
equipment for landfill operations and management of the recyclable/recoverable materials.
The segregation and handling of the recyclable/recoverable materials is mostly managed by
front end and track loaders. Appendix A includes a Waste Inspection Form and Appendix B
EPA Hazardous Waste Inspection Guidance.
2. Wastewater Treatment Sludge
Wastewater treatment sludge will not be accepted for disposal. Wastewater treatment
sludge may be accepted, with the approval of the Division, for utilization as a soil conditioner
and incorporated into or applied onto the vegetative growth layer. The wastewater treatment
sludge will neither be applied at greater than agronomic rates nor to a depth greater than six
inches.
3. Waste Exclusions
The following wastes will not be disposed of in the landfill:
(1) Containers such as tubes, drums, barrels, tanks, cans, and bottles unless they
are empty and perforated to ensure that no liquid, hazardous or municipal solid
waste is contained therein,
(2) Garbage as defined in G.S. 130A-290(a)(7),
(3) Hazardous waste as defined in G.S. 130A-290(a)(8), to also include hazardous
waste from conditionally exempt small quantity generators,
(4) Industrial solid waste unless a demonstration has been made and approved by
the Division that the landfill meets the requirements of Rule .0503(2)(d)(ii)(A),
(5) Liquid wastes,
(6) Medical waste as defined in G.S. 130A-290(a)(18),
(7) Municipal solid waste as defined in G.S. 130A-290(a)(18a),

(15) The following wastes cannot be received if separate from C&DLF waste: lamps
or bulbs including, but not limited to halogen, incandescent, neon or
fluorescent; lighting ballast or fixtures. Thermostats and light switches;
batteries including, but not limited to those from exit and emergency lights
and smoke detectors. Lead pipes, lead roof flashing, transformers, capacitors,
and copper chrome arsenate (CCA), and creosote treated woods.
(16) (16) Waste accepted for disposal in a C&DLF unit must be readily identifiable
as C&D waste and must not have been shredded, pulverized, or processed to
such an extent that the composition of the original waste cannot be readily
ascertained except as specified in Subparagraph (17) of this Paragraph.
(17) C&D waste that has been shredded, pulverized or otherwise processed may
be accepted for disposal from a facility that has received a permit from an
authorized regulatory authority, which specifies such activities are inspected
by the authority, and whose primary purpose is recycling and reuse of the C&D
material. A waste screening plan and waste acceptance plan must be
available to the Division upon request.
(18) The owner or operator will not knowingly dispose any type or form of C&D
waste that is generated within the boundaries of a unit of local government
that by ordinance:
(A) Prohibits generators or collectors of C&D waste from disposing that type or
form of C&D waste.
(B) Requires generators or collectors of C&D waste to recycle that type or form
of C&D waste.
(19) Friable asbestos
4. Cover Material Requirements
Waste must be covered with six inches of earthen material when the waste disposal area
exceeds one-half acre and at least once weekly. Cover must be placed at more frequent
intervals if necessary to control disease vectors, fires, odors, blowing litter, and scavenging.
A notation of the date and time of the cover placement must be recorded in the operating
record. Areas that will not have additional waste placed on them for three months or longer,
but where final termination of disposal operations has not occurred, must be covered and
stabilized with vegetative ground cover or other stabilizing material.
III - Operations Plan LaBella Associates, PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS 5 May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
Mulch generated from excavated LCID material may be used as a soil amendment for cover
soil.
5. Spreading and Compacting Requirements
The open waste disposal area must be kept as small as is feasible. Compact waste as
densely as practical into cells. Windblown litter is not anticipated to be a significant problem
at the C&D landfill due to the heavy, bulky nature of this waste type. Prompt compaction of
the waste at the working face must be conducted to minimize litter. Use wind fence as
necessary to minimize windblown trash.
6. Disease Vector Control
Prevent and control on-site populations of disease vectors using techniques appropriate for
the protection of human health and the environment.
7. Air Criteria and Fire Control
The landfill must not violate any applicable requirements developed under a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) approved or promulgated by the U.S. EPA Administrator pursuant
to Section 110 of the Clean Air Act, as amended.
No open burning of solid waste, except for the approved burning of land clearing debris
generated on-site or debris from emergency clean-up operations. Prior to any planned
burning, submit a request to the Division for review. A notation of the date of approval and
the name of the Division personnel who approved the burning must be included in the
operating record.
The facility must implement a fire prevention plan that includes maintaining a minimum of
25 feet wide fire isle between each stockpile of flammable or combustible
recyclable/recovered material. Maintain reasonable isle width between each stockpile at all
times for accessing heavy equipment for material handling, transportation and
management. If a fire occurs at the waste disposal area, remove or segregate other waste in
the disposal area if possible. Following the segregation, reevaluate the situation to
determine should emergency personnel be notified.
If necessary, call the Snow Camp and/or E.M. Holt Volunteer Fire Departments to render
assistance and provide support in fighting any fires that occur at this site.
Fire extinguishers must be carried on each piece of landfill equipment on site, and used for
small, localized fires. Equipment operators must be trained in the use of these
extinguishers. Maintain a stockpile of soil near the working face to be used for extinguishing
surface fires that are too large to control with the fire extinguishers on the landfill
equipment. Water in sedimentation ponds and nearby creeks is available for firefighting to
extinguish larger fires.
III - Operations Plan LaBella Associates, PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS 6 May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
Fires and explosions that occur at the landfill must be verbally reported to the Division within
24 hours and written notification submitted within 15 days. Written notification must include
the suspected cause of fire or explosion, the response taken to manage the incident, and
the action(s) to be taken to prevent the future occurrence of fire or explosion.
Wind-blown litter and odor control measures are typically not problematic at C&D landfills.
Maintain small working phase, place the waste and compact it in timely manner to prevent
wind gusts to blow the lighter material. Fugitive odors are best managed by covering the
waste immediately with other waste or with daily cover material.
8. Access and Safety Requirements
Access to the facility is controlled through a single access road. A metal gate prevents
access after operating hours. Traffic moves from the entrance gate to the landfill along
gravel haul road that extends approximately a quarter-mile from the facility entrance. The
entrance is planned to remain at its present location. The haul roads may be rerouted as
needed to access the proposed C&D expansion area.
In accordance with G.S. 130A-309.25, an individual trained in landfill operations must be on
duty at the site while the facility is open for public use and at all times during active waste
management operations to ensure compliance with operational requirements. The access
road to the site and roads to monitoring locations are of all-weather construction and
maintained in good condition. Water access roads periodically, as needed, to minimize dust.
A sign providing information on disposal procedures, the hours during which the site is open
for public, the permit number and other pertinent information specified in the permit
conditions is posted at the site entrance. Liquids, hazardous and municipal solid waste are
listed on a sign as excluded wastes.
Provide signs or markers as necessary to promote an orderly traffic pattern to and from the
disposal area and to maintain efficient operating conditions. No removal of solid waste from
the landfill is allowed unless indicated in the operations plan as a recycling procedure.
General public is not allowed to remove material from the working face.
9. Erosion and Sediment Control
Sediment control measures must be followed to prevent sediment from leaving the facility,
and to prevent on-site erosion of the landfill. Vegetative cover must be established on all
competed areas of the landfill.
10. Drainage Control and Water Protection
Divert surface water from the operational area and prevent impounding over or in waste. Do
not dispose of waste in water. The landfill must not cause a discharge of pollutants into
waters of the United States, including wetlands, that violates any requirements of the Clean
Water Act, including the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
requirements, pursuant to Section 402. The landfill must not cause the discharge of a
III - Operations Plan LaBella Associates, PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS 7 May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
nonpoint source of pollution to waters of the United States, including wetlands, that violates
any requirement of an area-wide or State-wide water quality management plan that has
been approved under Section 208 or 319 of the Clean Water Act, as amended.
11. Survey for Compliance
Within 60 days of the permittee's receipt of the Division's written request, the permittee
must conduct a survey of active or closed portions of unit(s) at the facility in order to
determine whether operations are being conducted in accordance with the approved design
and operational plans. The permittee must report the results of such survey, including a map
produced by the survey, to the Division within 90 days of receipt of the Division's request.
The survey must be performed by a registered land surveyor authorized under North
Carolina law to conduct such activities.
12. Operating Record and Recordkeeping
The owner and operator must record and retain at the facility, or in an alternative location
near the facility, the following information:
(A) records of random waste inspections, monitoring results, certifications of training, and
training procedures required by Rule .0544 of this Section;
(B) amounts by weight of solid waste received at the facility to include, consistent with G.S.
130A-309.09D, county of generation;
(C) any demonstration, certification, finding, monitoring, testing, or analytical data required
by Rules .0544 through .0545 of this Section;
(D) any closure or post-closure monitoring, testing, or analytical data as required by Rule
.0543 of this Section;
(E) any cost estimates and financial assurance documentation required by Rule .0546 of
this Section;
(F) notation of date and time of placement of cover material; and
(G) all audit records, compliance records and inspection reports.
All information contained in the operating record must be furnished to the Division according
to the permit or upon request, or be made available for inspection by the Division.
The operating record must also include:
(A) A copy of the approved operation plan required by this Rule and the engineering plan

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
This plan addresses the construction quality assurance (CQA) procedures and requirements
to be employed during construction of the project. The plan is intended to supplement, but
not supersede, the Contract Drawings and Specifications; where a conflict arises, the
Contract Documents or approved Contract Drawings and Specifications shall govern.
All parties involved in the project should obtain a copy of this plan from the OWNER or
ENGINEER. They should also obtain copies of any supplemental CQA documents prepared
specifically for the project.
The overall goals of the CQA program are to ensure that proper construction techniques and
procedures are employed, and to verify that the materials used meet the approved Contract
Specifications. Additionally, the program shall identify and define problems that may occur
during construction, allowing corrective activities to be implemented in a timely manner. At
the completion of the work, the program requires the certifying CQA Consultant(s) to prepare
certification reports indicating that the facility has been constructed in accordance with the
approved design standards and Contract Specifications.
1.2 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions are applicable to this plan:
1.2.1 Quality Control
Definition (ASTM D3740): - a planned system of activities, or the use of such a system,
whose purpose is to provide a level of quality that meets the needs of users. The
objective of quality control is to provide quality that is safe, adequate, dependable, and
economical. The overall system involves integrating the quality factors of several related
steps including: the proper specification of what is wanted, production to meet the full
intent of the specification, inspection to determine whether the resulting material,
product, service, etc… is in accordance with the Specifications, and review of usage to
determine necessary revisions of Specifications.
In practice, Quality Control refers to those procedures, criteria, and tests employed and
paid for by the CONTRACTOR(s) to confirm that the work satisfies the CONTRACTOR’s
standards, and is in compliance with the Contract Drawings and Specifications. This
plan does not address Quality Control procedures, criteria, and/or tests employed by the
CONTRACTOR.

Definition (ASTM D3740): - a planned system of activities whose purpose is to provide
assurance that the overall quality control program is in fact being effectively
implemented. The system involves a continuing evaluation of the adequacy and
effectiveness of the overall quality control program with the ability to have corrective
measures initiated where necessary. For a specific material, product, service, etc…, this
involves verifications, audits, and the evaluation of the quality factors that affect the
specification, production, inspection, and use of the product, service, system, or
environment.
In practice, Quality Assurance refers to those procedures, criteria, and tests required and
paid for by the OWNER to confirm that the work performed by the CONTRACTOR(s) is in
compliance with the approved Contract Drawings and Specifications and any additional
requirements of this plan.

Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
2.3 EARTH MATERIALS CQA TESTING
2.3.1 General
Assurance that construction of the earth material components of the project has been
performed in accordance with the approved Contract Drawings and Specifications shall
be accomplished by use of CQA testing and visual observations.
CQA testing shall consist of the following:
• Construction Quality Evaluation; and
• Special Testing.
2.3.2 Construction Quality Evaluation Testing
Construction quality evaluation shall be performed on all components of earthwork
construction at the frequencies shown in Table 1. Criteria to be used for determination
of acceptability of the work shall be as identified in the Contract Specifications and as
detailed in this plan. Construction evaluation testing shall consist of visual observations
of the work, in-place density/moisture content verification, investigations into the
adequacy of layer bonding and clod destruction, elevation and thickness monitoring, and
special testing. Evaluation of the construction work shall include the following:
• Observations and documentation of the water content, clod size and other
physical properties of the soil during processing, placement and compaction;
• Observation and documentation of each compacted lift’s ability to accept and
bond to subsequent lifts;
• Observation and documentation of the thickness of compacted and loosely
placed lifts;
• Observation and documentation of the performance of the compaction and heavy
hauling equipment on the construction surface (sheepsfoot penetration, pumping,
cracking, etc…); and
• Observation and documentation of the effectiveness of the procedures used to
prevent desiccation and/or freezing of completed lifts and layers.
The in-place density test methods shall cause minimal delay to the placement of
subsequent lifts; therefore, the nuclear method is preferred unless construction
sequencing is such that fill placement is not interrupted by drive cylinder testing. An
acceptable test for soils used in structural or “controlled fill” applications (i.e.
IV - Construction Quality Assurance Plan 6 LaBella Associates, PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
embankments, berms, backfill, soil liner, subgrade, etc.) shall be defined as one, which
meets or exceeds the specified minimum density within the specified moisture range.
If there is any question as to the classification of the tested soil, and hence the
appropriateness of a given moisture-density plot, a “one-point” Standard Proctor
compaction test shall be performed for comparison with the available plots. The
optimum moisture content and maximum dry density extrapolated from the one-point
test result must fall on or near the plotted line of optimums for the classification of a soil
to be confirmed. For controlled fill, the reference maximum dry density can be adjusted
to accommodate the one-point data.
Questions concerning the accuracy of any single test shall be addressed by retesting in
that or another representative location. Periodic drive cylinder testing shall be
performed to verify the adequacy of the nuclear gauge testing at the frequencies
designated in Table 1. If a conflict exists between the drive cylinder testing and the
corresponding nuclear density test results, then the drive cylinder results shall control.
It is important to bond lifts together to the greatest extent possible. Bonding of lifts is
enhanced by:
• Ensuring that the surface of the previously compacted lift (or subgrade) is rough
before placing the new lift of soil;
• Adding moisture to the previously compacted lift (or subgrade); and
• Using a fully penetrating footed roller.
Evaluation of lift bonding in soil liner and similar applications shall be done by using test
pits or auger holes to visually observe the lift interfaces. Alternatively, Shelby tubes
pushed through the lift interfaces can be visually inspected for proper lift bonding.
2.3.3 Test Pad
A test pad shall be constructed as outlined in the project specifications to develop and
demonstrate construction methods that shall be used to produce a compacted soil cap
satisfying the requirements of the specifications.
2.4 DOCUMENTATION/CERTIFICATION
2.4.1 General
The CQA Consultant shall document the activities associated with the construction of the
earth material components of the project. Such documentation shall include, as a
IV - Construction Quality Assurance Plan 7 LaBella Associates, PC

CLOSURE & POST-CLOSURE CARE PLAN
CLOSURE
1. Description of Cap System:
The cap system to be used is designed to minimize infiltration and erosion. The cap system
will consist of:
• A low-permeability infiltration layer of at least 18 inches with a permeability not
greater than 1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec;
• An erosion layer that contains a minimum of 18 inches of earthen material that is
capable of sustaining native plant growth.
Construction of the cap system will conform to the plans prepared in accordance with Rule
.0540 of this Section and the following requirements:
(A) post-settlement surface slopes will be a minimum of five percent and a
maximum of 33 percent; and
(B) a gas venting or collection system will be installed below the low-
permeability barrier to minimize pressures exerted on the barrier.
The construction of the closure cap will be in accordance with the Volume 2 Application for
Permit to Construct Phase 3 and the specifications provided in Appendix IV. The Application
to Construct Phase 3 was approved by the SWS on 2/19/2009.
Procedures for Cap Installation
The construction of the cap will be in accordance with the specifications provided in
Appendix IV.
2. Closure Area
Phase 3A and east slopes of Phase 1 and 2A/B are active for landfill operations. Portions of
3A have been closed, but not been reported to the SWS and thus their status is considered
not closed. Actual landfill closure applies only to the Phases 1 and 2A/B piggyback and 3A
areas. Phase 3B is under construction permitted for 5.8 acres and after issue of permit to
operate (PTO) its area will be added to the total of closure requirement.

3. Waste Inventory
As of August 2018 annual facility reporting, the cumulative tonnage received and landfilled
since the beginning of operations in 1999 was 690,250 tons. At an average density of
1050 pounds/cubic yard, this equates to approximately 1,075,951 cubic yards of
consumed airspace.
4. Schedule
As of this permit renewal, using the historical average, the remaining capacity calculates one
year of life in the permitted Phases 1-3A. For Phase 3B, the projected operating life is
approximately in 7 years as noted in the Facility Plan. Thus, closure of the Phases 3A and 3B
is not anticipated until 2026, assuming waste disposal in Phase 3 A & B continues at the
current historic rate of annual tonnage. Prior to beginning final closure, Coble’s Sandrock
must notify the Division that a Notice of Intent to close the facility has been placed in the
operating record.
Phases 4 through 8 approved for future development require submittals of PTC/PTO
applications.
The permitted capacity for waste and daily cover of Phases 1-8 is 6,935,903 cy. As of
August 2018 the estimated consumed air space is 1,075,951 cy. The remaining balance
leaves 5,859,952 cy for waste and daily cover.
Closure activities are proposed to begin within 30 days of final receipt of waste.
Construction of the closure cap is to be completed within 180 days following the initiation of
closure activities. The total length of the proposed closure period is 210 days following the
final receipt of waste.

6. Closure Certification
A professional engineer, registered in the State of North Carolina, will verify that the closure
has been completed in accordance with the Closure Plan. The contents of the signed
Certification Report will be as described below.
Certification Reports:
The CQA report will contain the results of all the construction quality assurance and
construction quality control testing including documentation of any failed test results,
descriptions of procedures used to correct the improperly installed material, and results of
all retesting performed. The CQA report will contain as-built drawings noting any deviation
from the approved engineering plans and will also contain a comprehensive narrative
including, but not limited to, daily reports from the project engineer, a series of color
photographs of major project features, and documentation of proceedings of all progress
and troubleshooting meetings. The CQA report will be submitted after completion of
construction of the cap system in accordance with the requirements of Rule .0543. The CQA
report must bear the seal of the project engineer and a certification that construction was
completed in accordance with the CQA Plan and acceptable engineering practices.
7. Deed Recordation
Following closure, the owner or operator will record a notation on the deed to the landfill
facility property at the local county Register of Deeds office, or some other instrument that is
normally examined during title search, and notify the Division that the notation has been
recorded and a copy has been placed in the operating record. The notation on the deed
shall in perpetuity notify any potential purchaser of the property that the land has been used
as a C&D landfill unit or facility and its use is restricted under the closure plan approved by
the Division.

POST CLOSURE
Post-closure activities must be conducted at the landfill for a period of 30 years following
closure of the landfill. However, the length of the period can be increased or decreased in
accordance with Division directives.
1. Contact
Coble’s Sandrock, Inc. will handle questions and/or problems, which might occur during the
post-closure care period.

Liberty, North Carolina 27298
PHONE NUMBER: (336) 565-4750 FAX: (336) 565-4752
2. Security
Control access to the site by the use of barriers and gates at roadway entrances. Maintain
these control devices throughout the post-closure care period, and inspected as part of the
monthly inspection program. Mark all barriers and gates clearly with signs stating the name
and nature of the facility and the person to contact in case of emergency or breach of
security.
3. Post-Closure Maintenance
Post-closure maintenance and monitoring will be conducted at the landfill for a period of 30
years after final closure. The Division may decrease the length of the post-closure period if
the owner or operator demonstrates that the reduced period is sufficient to protect human
health and the environment, and the Division approves this demonstration. The period
might be increased by the Division if the Division determines that the lengthened period is
necessary to protect human health and the environment.
Monitoring will include semi-annual sampling of groundwater and surface water, quarterly
gas monitoring, and quarterly inspection of the final cover and monitoring and control
systems. Maintenance needs identified through the monitoring program must be initiated
no later than 60 days after the discovery, and within 24 hours if a danger or eminent threat
to human health or the environment is indicated. Minor cap maintenance may be deferred
until there is a sufficient amount of work to justify the mobilization of equipment and
personnel.
V – Closure & Post-Closure Care Plan Labella Associates, PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS 6 May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
Add soil to the cap as necessary to correct the effects of settlement and subsidence of the
landfill and to prevent run-on and run-off from eroding the final cap.
Protect and maintain stormwater control devices, surveyed benchmarks, groundwater
monitoring wells, surface water monitoring/sampling gauges and LFG wells.
Mow vegetation twice per year. Cost for routine maintenance assumes 1/10 of the cap area
will require reseeding and fertilizing each year.
Maintain and repair security fencing, gates, and access roads as necessary.
4. Inspection Plan
Routine inspections will be conducted throughout the post-closure care period. These
inspections will be carried out quarterly unless problems are detected that indicate that
more frequent visits are warranted. Potential impacts to the public and environment will be
considered in determining the inspection frequency. Items to be included in the monthly
inspection will be as follows:
• Access and security control,
• Stormwater management,
• Erosion and sediment control,
• Gas management,
• Groundwater and landfill gas monitoring systems, and
• Vector control.
The quarterly inspections will be carried out by someone properly trained and
knowledgeable about landfills, such as the landfill owner, operator or engineering
consultant. The results of the inspections will be documented in Post Closure Inspection
Form. If inspections indicate that repairs are necessary, repairs will be initiated as soon as
practicable.
In addition to the routine quarterly inspections, special inspections will be performed and
documented after events which may likely cause damage to the integrity of the landfill cover,
such as heavy rainfall events. Inspection may also be necessary following written or verbal
complaints, vandalism or fires. Following special inspections, any necessary repairs will be
initiated as soon as practicable.
Maintain records of all inspections in the operating record.
5. Post-Closure Land Use
The primary land use for the site after closure of the landfill will be open dormant green
space.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
In accordance with the NC Solid Waste Management Rules (NCSWMR) § .0538, Coble’s
Sandrock is submitting this Water Quality Monitoring Plan (WQMP) as part of our five years
permit renewal for the Coble’s Sandrock Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) Landfill
in Alamance County, North Carolina (Permit # 01-05) (the Site). The purpose of this WQMP
is to serve as a guidance document for collecting and analyzing groundwater and surface
water samples
The facility consists of approximately 154 acres in Alamance County, one half mile east of
Kimesville, North Carolina and approximately eight miles south of Burlington, North Carolina.
The 154 acres includes the currently permitted 39.6 acres plus an adjacent expansion area
of 114.4 acres. The existing C&D facility has been in operation since 1998. The site
location is shown on Figure 1. Property boundaries, surrounding topography, and locations
of the existing Phases.
1.1 Local and Regional Hydrogeology
The Site is located within the Carolina Slate Belt in the central Piedmont physiographic and
geological province. Geologic unit designations and descriptions used in this report are
defined in The Central Piedmont (Butler and Secor, 1991). The Carolina Slate Belt is made
up of metamorphosed sediments, volcanics, and intrusive igneous rocks. The Site is
underlain by a felsic intrusive complex. The map legend describes the complex as white to
gray, fine- to coarse-grained, massive to foliated, metamorphosed bodies of assemblages of
intimately associated felsic intrusive rock types. The rock types vary from granite,
granodiorite, quartz diorite, to quartz monzonite. Narrow mafic dikes are common within the
felsic intrusive units. This region is also characterized by regional- and small-scale Mesozoic
diabase dikes. Most of the dikes are near-vertical in dip and trend north-south to northwest-
southeast and are characterized by plagioclase, augite and olivine (Ragland, 1991).
1.1.1 Site Groundwater Flow Regime
The surficial aquifer beneath the site occurs within saprolite, partially weathered rock (PWR),
and bedrock. Generally, the saprolite and PWR units are relatively thin (5 to 40 feet thick).
The saprolite and PWR are expected to behave as a relatively isotropic, porous medium,
whereas groundwater flow in the bedrock is primarily through fractures; however, the
bedrock is highly fractured and well connected to the overlying units so they are expected to
behave as a single aquifer. The groundwater potentiometric surface, based on water level
readings taken on October 9, 2018, is shown on Drawing 1. Groundwater flow directions
conform to the potentiometric surface, with flow perpendicular to the contours.
1.1.2 Horizontal Gradient and Velocity Calculations
Horizontal hydraulic gradients for the proposed C&D disposal areas were calculated using
two groundwater flow line segments indicated on the groundwater surface contour map
(Drawing 1). Average linear groundwater flow velocities were calculated using the following
modified Darcy equation:
V = Ki/n
VI - Water Quality Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock Landfill, Permit 01-05 2
where:
V = average linear velocity (feet per day),
K = hydraulic conductivity (ft/day),
i = horizontal hydraulic gradient, and
n = effective porosity.
An effective porosity of n = 0.21 (21%) was assumed based on average effective porosities
for saprolite and PWR determined by laboratory analysis of soil samples. The average
gradients (i) were determined for each flow path shown on Drawing 1. The geometric mean
of the hydraulic conductivities of all slug test conducted on the Site (K = 1.97 x 10-1 ft/day)
was used for groundwater flow calculations for the site.
The above equation makes the simplifying assumptions of a homogeneous, isotropic aquifer
in a porous medium. Groundwater flow velocities were calculated using saprolite and PWR
data because the site’s uppermost aquifer is primarily in those hydrogeologic units. An
average linear groundwater flow velocity was calculated across areas where bedrock is the
surficial aquifer because rock cores have shown that bedrock is highly fractured to the point
that groundwater flow is expected to behave relatively similar to the unconsolidated
hydrogeologic units. Also, aquifer tests conducted on bedrock wells and piezometers
showed similar range of values for hydraulic conductivity. Groundwater flow velocities within
the fractured bedrock aquifer are likely to be variable.
Data and calculations for the horizontal gradients are presented in Table 1. The calculated
horizontal gradients from two flow line segments across the site range from 0.027 to 0.055.
Calculated linear groundwater velocities ranged from approximately 135 to 276.36
feet/year.
2.0 GROUNDWATER MONITORING PLAN
2.1 Introduction and Purpose
This plan shall replace any previous groundwater monitoring plans that may have been
submitted for Coble’s Sandrock C&D Landfill. This Groundwater Monitoring Plan will serve
as a guidance document for collecting and analyzing groundwater and surface water
samples, managing the associated analytical results, and monitoring for potential releases
to the uppermost aquifer from the Coble’s Sandrock C&D Landfill. The plan complies with
NCSWMR § .0540, which specifies the requirements for groundwater and surface water
monitoring at C&D landfills. The plan also addresses the specific issues addressed in the
Solid Waste Section’s January 1995 policy memorandum (Re: Sampling and Analysis
Requirements, Construction and Demolition Landfills and Closed Sanitary Landfills) and the
May 29, 2018 policy memorandum (1,4-Dioxane Analysis, Solid Waste Section Limits, and
Laboratory Analytical Methods).
2.2 Groundwater Monitoring Network
The groundwater monitoring network is designed to monitor for potential releases to the
uppermost aquifer at the Site. A summary of well construction specifications, well status,
and the role of each well in the proposed monitoring plan is provided in Table 2.

6 is used as an upgradient/background well. Monitoring wells MW-2, MW-4, MW-7, MW-8,
MW-10, and P-19S are monitored as compliance wells. Monitoring wells MW-5, MW-10D
and P-19D are used to obtain groundwater levels. Monitoring well MW-11, was installed
northwest of the Phase 3B disposal area. The well was installed approximately 400 feet
north of piezometer P-16. Nevertheless, the well was installed too shallow and is being
reported dry; therefore, no groundwater have been collected from it. The approximate
locations of the monitoring wells are presented in Drawing 2. All wells are sampled
semiannually.

2.2.2 Installation and Maintenance of Groundwater Monitoring Network
The existing monitoring wells will be used and maintained in accordance with design
specifications throughout the life of the monitoring program. The specifications are outlined
in 15A NCAC Subchapter 2C, Section .0100. Routine well maintenance will include
inspection and correction/repair of, as necessary, identification labels, concrete apron
condition, locking caps and locks, and access to the wells. Coble Sandrock will re-evaluate
the monitoring network, and provide recommendations to the Division of Waste
Management (DWM) for modifying, rehabilitating, abandoning, or installing replacement or
additional monitoring wells, as appropriate.

Monitoring well, MW-11, was installed too shallow and is being reported dry since its
installation; therefore, a replacement well (MW-11R) will be installed in the approximate
location show in Drawing 2. After its installation the well will become part of the monitoring
program and will be sampled as a compliance well. The replacement well MW-11R will be
installed and developed, and background data will be collected prior to any waste being
received into Phase 3B.
2.3 Groundwater Monitoring
Groundwater samples from the facility will be collected and analyzed for the constituents
listed in Appendix I of 40 CFR Part 258, plus 1.4-Dioxine, mercury, chloride, manganese,
sulfate, iron, alkalinity, Tetrahydrofuran (THF), and total dissolved solids. In addition, field
analyses for pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP),
and specific conductance will be performed for each sample. The laboratory analytical
results and field parameters will be submitted to the Solid Waste Section at least
semiannually. Any exceedances of the 15A NCAC 2L (NC 2L) groundwater standards will be
identified in the semiannual submittals.
2.3.1 Establishment of Background Data
A minimum of four independent groundwater samples will be collected from any new
compliance wells prior to the start of disposal operations in their respective areas at the
Coble Sandrock’s C&D landfill facility. These data will be evaluated statistically to determine
background concentrations for each well.
2.3.2 Groundwater Sampling Methodology
Groundwater samples will be collected in accordance with Solid Waste Management Rules
15A NCAC 13B .1632 and the Solid Waste Section: Guidelines for Groundwater, Soil, and
Surface Water Sampling (NCDEQ SWSL, 2008, 2) and are incorporated by reference. .
Details of well purging, sample withdrawal, and decontamination methods, as well as chain-
of-custody procedures are outlined below.
2.3.2.1 Static Water Levels
The distance from the top of the well casing to the water surface and to the bottom of the
well will be measured using an electronic water level meter. Static water elevations and the
total well depth will be measured to the nearest 0.01 of a foot in each well prior to the
sampling of each well. Other measuring method could be used only if depth to water could
be measured to the nearest 0.01 of a foot (e.g. wetted-tape method). Reference elevations
of the proposed wells have been obtained from a North Carolina registered land surveyor.
2.3.2.2 Purging and Sampling Methodology- Low-Yield Well
A low-yield well (one that is incapable of yielding three well volumes within a reasonable
time) will be purged so that water is removed from the bottom of the screened interval. Low-
yield wells will be evacuated to dryness once. Minimum Purge Sampling could also be used
as an alternate sampling method. The minimum purge approach requires the removal of
the smallest possible purge volume prior to sampling, generally limited to three volumes of
the sampling system. As soon as the well recharges or within 24 hours, the first sample will
be field tested for pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), Oxidation-Reduction Potential
(ORP), and specific conductance. Samples will then be collected and containerized in the
VI - Water Quality Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock Landfill, Permit 01-05 5
following order unless field conditions justify other sampling regimens (NCDEQ SWSL,
2008).
1. Volatile Organics and Volatile Inorganics
2. Extractable Organics, Petroleum Hydrocarbons, Aggregate Organics and Oil and
Grease
3. Total Metals
4. Inorganic Nonmetallics, Physical and Aggregate Properties, and Biologicals
5. Microbiological (i.e., total organic then total metals).
2.3.2.3 Purging and Sampling Methodology- High-Yield Well
A high-yield well (one that is capable of yielding more than three well volumes during
continuous purging) will be purged so that water is drawn down from the uppermost part of
the water column to ensure that fresh water from the formation will move upward in the
screen. At no time will a well be evacuated to dryness if the recharge rate causes the
formation water to vigorously cascade down the sides of the screen, which could cause an
accelerated loss of volatiles.
A minimum of three well volumes will be evacuated from high-yield wells prior to sampling. A
well volume is defined as the water contained within the well casing and pore spaces of the
surrounding filter pack. The well volume will be calculated using the following formulas:
Vc = (dc2/4) x3.14 x hw x 7.48 gallons/cubic foot
Vc (gallons) = 0.163 x hw
where:
Vc = volume in the well casing
dc = casing diameter in feet (dc = 0.167 for a 2-inch well)
hw = height of the water column (i.e., well depth minus depth to water)
Each well will be purged and sampled with a disposable bailer. The bailer will be lowered
gently into the well to minimize the possibility of causing degassing of the water. If sampled
with a pump, flow rates will be regulated to minimize turbidity and degassing of the water or
if suitable, Low-Stress (Low-Flow) methodology may be used (USEPA, 2017).
All equipment used for sampling will be handled in such a manner to ensure that the
equipment remains decontaminated prior to use. In between wells and following completion
of the field sampling, the electronic depth meter will be decontaminated following the
manufacturer recommended procedure. Clean disposable gloves will be worn by sampling
personnel.
To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, the upgradient/background well will be
sampled first, followed by the downgradient wells. The order of sampling of the
downgradient wells will be evaluated each sampling event to provide a sequence going from
less contaminated to more contaminated based on the previous sampling event, if
applicable.
VI - Water Quality Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock Landfill, Permit 01-05 6
During well purging and before sampling, monitor indicator field parameters (turbidity,
temperature, specific conductance, pH, ORP, DO) readings will be collected. Field
parameters will be collected after each well volume or at the recommended interval as
described in the Low-Stress (Low-Flow) methodology. The direct reading equipment used at
each well will be calibrated according to the manufacturer's specifications prior to each
sampling event. Calibration records shall be completed after each calibration. Groundwater
samples will be collected and containerized in the order of the volatilization sensitivity (i.e.,
volatile organic compounds {VOCs} first, followed by the metals).
2.3.2.3 Sample Collection, Bottling, and Transportation
Pre-preserved sample containers will be supplied by the laboratory. The VOC vials will be
filled in such a manner that no headspace remains after filling. Immediately upon
collection, all samples will be placed in coolers on ice where they will be stored prior to/and
during transit to the laboratory.
In between wells and following completion of the field sampling, the electronic depth meter
will be decontaminated using the following procedure.
1) Phosphate-free soap and distilled water wash;
2) Distilled water rinse;
3) Air dry.
Pre-preserved sample containers are properly prepared by the analytical laboratory
scheduled to perform the analysis. No cleaning or preparation of sampling bottles by field
personnel should be performed. The VOC vials will be filled in such a manner that no
headspace remains after filling. Immediately upon collection, all samples will be placed in
coolers on ice where they will be stored prior to and during transit to the laboratory.
Samples collected will be properly containerized, packed into pre-cooled coolers, and either
hand-delivered or shipped via overnight courier to the laboratory for analysis. The chain-of
custody program will allow for tracing of possession and handling of samples from the time
of field collection through laboratory analysis. The chain-of-custody program will include
sample labels and seals, field logs, chain-of-custody records, commercial carrier’s package
bill, and laboratory logs.
Labels sufficiently durable to remain legible when wet will contain the following information:
• Job and sample identification number;
• Monitoring well number or other location;
• Date and time of collection;
• Name of collector;
• Parameter to be analyzed; and
• Preservative, if applicable.
The shipping container will be sealed to ensure that the samples have not been disturbed
during transport to the laboratory. The tape is labeled with instructions to notify the shipper
if the seal is broken prior to receipt at the laboratory. If the sample cannot be analyzed
VI - Water Quality Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock Landfill, Permit 01-05 7
because of damage or disturbance, whenever possible, the damaged sample will be
replaced during the same compliance period.
The field log will contain sheets documenting the following information:
• Identification of the well;
• Well depth;
• Static water level depth;
• Presence of immiscible layers, odors or other indications of potential
contamination;
• Well yield-high or low;
• Purge volume (given in gallons or number of bailers);
• Time well was purged;
• Date and time of collection;
• Well sampling sequence;
• Types of sampling containers used and sample identification numbers;
• Preservative used;
• Field analysis data and methods;
• Field observations on sampling event;
• Name of collector(s);
• Internal temperature of shipping container at the time of sample placement; and
• Climatic conditions including air temperatures.
A sample field log sheet for groundwater is provided in Appendix 1.
The chain-of-custody record is required to establish the documentation necessary to trace
sample possession from time of collection to time of receipt at destination. A chain-of-
custody record will accompany each individual shipment. The record will contain the
following information:
• Sample destination and transporter;
• Sample identification numbers;
• Signature of collector;
• Date and time of collection;
• Sample type;
• Identification of well;
• Number of sample containers in shipping container;
VI - Water Quality Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock Landfill, Permit 01-05 8
• Parameters requested for analysis;
• Signature of person(s) involved in the chain of possession;
• Inclusive dates of possession; and
• Internal temperature of shipping container upon opening in laboratory (noted by
the laboratory).
A copy of the completed chain-of-custody sheet will accompany the shipment and will be
returned to the shipper with the analytical results. The chain of custody record will also be
used as the analysis request sheet. A sample of a completed chain-of-custody form is
included in Appendix 1.
2.3.2.4 Field and Trip Blanks
A field/equipment blank will be collected and analyzed during each sampling event to verify
that the sample collection and handling processes have not affected the integrity of the field
samples. The field/equipment blank will be prepared in the field from lab pure water (Type II
reagent grade water) supplied by the laboratory. One field/equipment blank will be
prepared for each sampling event. The field/equipment blank will be generated by exposing
the lab pure water to the sampling environment and sampling equipment/media in the
same manner as actual field samples being collected. The lab will provide appropriate
sample containers for generation of the field/equipment blank(s). The field/equipment
blank will be subjected to the same analysis(es) as the groundwater samples. As with all
other samples, the time(s) of the field/equipment blank collection will be recorded so that
the sampling sequence is documented. The field/equipment blank monitors for
contamination from the sampling equipment/media, or from cross-contamination that might
occur between samples and sample containers as they are opened and exposed to the
sampling environment.
Whenever groundwater samples are being collected for volatiles analysis, a trip blank will be
generated by the laboratory prior to shipment of sampling containers and coolers to the
field. The same lab pure water as above shall be used. The trip blank shall be transported
with the empty sampling containers to the field, but will not be opened at any time prior to
analysis at the laboratory. The trip blank will accompany the groundwater samples in the
cooler(s) back to the laboratory and will be analyzed by the same volatile methods as the
associated field samples. The trip blank monitors for potential cross-contamination that
might occur between samples or that may be a result of the shipping environment.
Detectable levels of contaminants found in the field/equipment blanks or trip blanks will not
be used to correct the groundwater data, but will be noted accordingly. Contaminants
present in trip blanks or field/equipment blanks at concentrations within an order of
magnitude of those observed in the corresponding groundwater samples may be cause for
resampling.
2.3.3 Sample Analysis Requirements
2.3.3.1 Analytical Requirements
Analysis of groundwater and surface water samples from the facility will be conducted by a
laboratory certified by the NCDEQ. Analyses will be performed in accordance with U.S. EPA
VI - Water Quality Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock Landfill, Permit 01-05 9
SW 846 methods. Both groundwater and surface water samples will be analyzed for the
constituents listed in Appendix I of 40 CFR Part 258, plus 1.4-Dioxine, mercury, chloride,
manganese, sulfate, iron, alkalinity, and total dissolved solids. Appendix 2 includes a table
of all NCSWMR Appendix I and Appendix II of the Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Part 258 (40 CFR 258, Appendix II), which was incorporated by reference (15A NCAC
13B .0830) to the NCSWMR (NCSWMR Appendix II) constituents with their respective
analytical methods, CAS numbers, 15A NCAC 2L (NC 2L) groundwater standards, and
groundwater protection standards (GWPS). All limits and standards are current as of the
submittal date of the WQMP.
2.3.3.2 Reporting and Record Keeping
The laboratory analytical results will be submitted to the Solid Waste Section at least
semiannually. The following measurements, analytical data, calculations, and other relevant
groundwater monitoring records will be kept throughout the active life of the facility and the
post-closure care period:
• Records of all groundwater quality data;
• Associated sample collection field logs and measurements, such as static water
level measured in compliance wells at the time of sample collection; and
• Notices and reports of NC 2L exceedances, reporting or data error, missing data,
etc.
2.3.3.3 Well Abandonment
An activities monitoring well within the monitoring network will be properly abandoned
following the procedures for permanent abandonment described in 15A NCAC 2C Rule
.0113(d). Prior to abandonment, approval must be received from the NCDEQ SWS and will
also be certified by a licensed geologist.
3.0 COMPARISONS TO THE NC 2L AND GWPS
Groundwater analytical results will be compared to the NC 2L Standards established by 15A
NCAC 2L.0202. For constituents without NC 2L Standards, the groundwater samples shall
be compared to the GWPS established by the SWS. Unless otherwise established by
NCDEQ, the standards for all constituents shall be equal to their respective NC 2L or GWPS
(see Appendix 2), unless the NC 2L or GWPS is below the method detection limit, in which
case the standard shall be equal to the method detection limit. If a statistically-determined
background concentration for a constituent is greater than the applicable NC 2L or GWPS,
the background may be considered the standard for comparison with NCDEQ approval. The
initial comparison will be performed using a value-to-value procedure.
If an analyte is detected above the NC 2L or GWPS in a given sampling event, confidence
limits may be calculated based on the most recent four sampling events, and if the lower
confidence limit is not above the NC 2L or GWPS, the detection shall not be considered a
statistically significant level compared to the NC 2L or GWPS. If an analyte is detected
below the NC 2L or GWPS, even if it is a quantifiable concentration, compliance action will
not be required. If a suspect NC 2L or GWPS exceedance is noted during the value-to-value
comparison, a confirmation sample may be collected. The results from a confirmation
VI - Water Quality Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock Landfill, Permit 01-05 10
sample will be compared to the NC 2L or GWPS in a value-to-value comparison, or the value
may be statistically compared to background.
4.0 STATISTICAL ANALYSES
If statistical analysis is performed to stablish background values for any constituents, the
background data are to be evaluated through the use of Parametric Prediction Limits,
Parametric Tolerance Intervals, Non-Parametric Prediction Limits, or Poisson Prediction
Limits as appropriate. Tests for normality, outliers, Aitchison’s adjustment, tolerance
intervals, or prediction limits are to be included as appropriate based on the background
data. This is done in accordance with the procedure summarized in the USEPA Unified
Guidance document (USEPA, 2009).
The statistical test by which downgradient data are compared to facility background data is
based upon the nature of the data and the number of data values that are less than the
laboratory limit of detection. All statistical tests are evaluated at the 0.05 level of
significance, 95% confidence level, and are conducted as one-tailed tests. These methods
and the criteria for their use are discussed below.
4.1 Treatment of Censored Data
Generally, background data are censored as follows. When less than or equal to 15% of the
background data values are less than the applicable reporting limit (NCDEQ SWSL), any data
reported less than the NCDEQ SWSL will be treated as one-half the NCDEQ SWSL or the
Reporting Limit as appropriate.
4.2 Assumption of Normality
Prior to conducting statistical tests that are based on the assumption of normally distributed
data, normality of the background data is evaluated using the Shapiro-Wilk statistic (W).
Normality is assessed at the 95% confidence level. In the event that the raw data fail to
follow a normal distribution, the data are transformed using a base-10 logarithm. The
transformed data are then tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk statistic. In the event
that the log-transformed data also fail to follow a normal distribution, a non-parametric
approach is applied.
4.3 Parametric Upper Tolerance Limit
In some cases the background data consist of a minimum of eight independent data values
and less than or equal to 15% of the background data values are less than the RL for a
given analyte. The downgradient values are then compared to the parametric upper
tolerance limit in accordance with the procedure summarized in the USEPA guidance
documents, Statistical Analysis of Groundwater Monitoring Data at RCRA Facilities – Unified
Guidance (EPA, 2009).
4.4 Aitchison’s Adjusted Parametric Upper Prediction Limit
In those cases where the background data consist of a minimum of eight independent data
values and more than 15%, but less than or equal to 50%, of the background data values
are less than the RL for a given analyte, the mean and standard deviation are adjusted. This
is done in accordance with the procedure summarized in the USEPA Unified Guidance
document (USEPA, 2009). After the adjustments are made, the downgradient values are
VI - Water Quality Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock Landfill, Permit 01-05 11
compared to the Aitchison’s adjusted parametric upper prediction limit in accordance with
the procedures summarized in the USEPA Unified Guidance document (USEPA, 2009).
4.5 Non-parametric Upper Tolerance Limit
In those cases where more than 50%, but less than or equal to 90%, of the background data
values are less than the RL for a given analyte or the background data fail to follow a normal
or log-normal distribution, downgradient values are compared to the non-parametric upper
tolerance limit. This procedure is done in accordance with the procedures summarized in
the USEPA Unified Guidance documents (USEPA, 2009).
4.6 Poisson Upper Prediction Limit
In those cases where more than 90% of the background data values are less than the RL for
a given analyte, the downgradient values are compared to the Poisson upper prediction
limit. These comparisons are made in accordance with the procedure summarized in the
USEPA guidance document (USEPA, 1992).
5.0 SURFACE WATER MONITORING
Two surface water monitoring points are proposed for the facility, as shown on Drawing 2.
Surface water point SW-1 is located to monitor water quality in Poppaw Creek, shortly after it
enters the site. The sample location is at the property line near the northwest edge of the
site.
Surface water monitoring point SW-2 will serve as a downstream monitoring point. Samples
from this point will be collected at a location approximately 350 feet northeast of the Phase
3 disposal area near the northeastern corner of the site and where a small tributary that
flows adjacent to the eastern property boundary discharges into Poppaw Creek. Samples
will only be taken from flowing water and not stagnant pools. The results will be compared
to the 15A NCAC 2B (NC 2B) Surface Water Standards in a value-to-value comparison.
Appendix 2 includes NC 2B Surface Water Standards for NC Appendix I and II constituents.
The surface water will be sampled for the constituents, as outlined above, that are required
for C&D landfills and the locations will be monitored at least semiannually during the life of
the facility. The results of the analysis of the surface water data will be submitted to the
Solid Waste Section semiannually with the groundwater data.
6.0 ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY MONITOR RELEASES FROM PROPOSED C&D AREAS
No known or potential sources of significant contamination have been identified within
2000 feet of the property boundary. There are no known conditions, physical or
hydrogeologic, which will interfere with the effective monitoring of the proposed C&D cells.
The proposed Water Quality Monitoring Plan, when implemented, will be effective in
providing early detection of any release of hazardous constituents to the uppermost aquifer,
so as to be protective of public health and the environment.
6.1 Point of Compliance
The relevant point of compliance is defined in accordance with NCSWMR § .0544.b.1.B as a
point no more than 250 feet from the edge of waste and no less than 50 feet within the
facility boundary, whichever is closer to the waste. Along most of the western edge of the
proposed and existing waste cells, and along a small area on the northern side of the cells,
VI - Water Quality Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates PC
C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock Landfill, Permit 01-05 12
the relevant point of compliance is defined by the points 50 feet from the facility boundary.
For the rest of the area around the proposed and existing waste cells, the relevant point of
compliance is defined by the points 250 feet from the edge of waste. Therefore, the
proposed groundwater monitoring network, which is designed to detect a release of solid
waste constituents to the uppermost aquifer at the facility, meets the monitoring
requirements specified under Rules .1630 through .1637 of the North Carolina Solid Waste
Management Rules, Title 15A, Subchapter 13B. All proposed and existing monitoring wells
are located within the relevant points of compliance.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The North Carolina Department of Environment Quality will be referenced as NCDEQ in this
document, including references to its actions or documents predating the change. The
NCDEQ Division of Waste Management (DWM) and Solid Waste Section (SWS) retain the
same designations.
This Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan (LGMP) will serve as a guidance document for collecting
and monitoring of landfill gas at Coble’s Sandrock Construction and Demolition Landfill
(C&DLF). Landfill gas will be monitored quarterly to ensure that methane and hydrogen
sulfide concentrations do not exceed the regulatory limit at the facility boundary or in
facility structures. The LGMP was prepared in accordance with the NCDEQ-DWM-SWS
Gas Monitoring Guidance document, including updated monitoring requirements for C&D
landfills, to assure performance standards are met and to protect public health and the
environment.
1.1 Regulatory Limits
The unlined C&D landfill at the Coble’s Sandrock is governed by the North Carolina Solid
Waste Management Regulations (NCSWMR) 15A NCAC 13B.0500 rules. Current regulations
and requirements for C&D landfills state that concentration of methane gas, as well as
hydrogen sulfide (H2S), generated by the facility should not exceed 25% of the lower
explosive limit (LEL) in facility structures or that the concentrations of gasses do not exceed
the LEL at the facility property boundary. The LEL for methane equals 5% by volume at
standard temperature and pressure. The LEL for hydrogen sulfide equals 4% by volume at
standard temperature and pressure. This LGMP prescribes a routine monitoring program to
ensure standards are met and the actions to be taken if methane or hydrogen sulfide
concentrations exceed specified limits.
1.2 Gas Control Plan and Landfill Gas Monitoring Network
To protect public health and safety in the vicinity of the landfill, gas produced by the
decomposition of refuse will be controlled and monitored during the operational, closure,
and post- closure periods. The gas monitoring program will be implemented for the purpose
of maintaining the concentration of methane gas below the regulatory levels.
The landfill gas monitoring plan is currently proposed to include monitoring, and passive gas
venting in the landfill. Other remedial measures will be implemented as needed to mitigate
a potential gas migration problem.
Gas monitoring at the Coble’s Sandrock C&D Landfill will be performed during the active life
of the landfill and throughout the post-closure care period. Quarterly monitoring will be
conducted at all subsurface gas detection probes. The approximate location of the landfill
gas probes are shown in Drawing 1. A typical probe construction detail is presented on page
13 in Section 5 of Appendix A.

The landfill gas monitoring network consist of four gas probe named GP-01 through GP-04.
The probe locations were chosen to adequately surround areas where waste will be in place
and where potential receptors are nearby. GP-01 monitors potential gas migration from
Phase 3B, or to the structure on the property adjacent and to the west of Phase 3B. GP-02
monitors gas potential migration off the landfill property to the west of Phase 2B, GP-03
monitors potential gas migration off the landfill property to the northeast of Phase 3A, and
GP-04 monitors potential gas migration off the landfill property to the southeast of Phase
3A. Monitoring probes are not proposed directly to the north of the landfill since the
property line in this direction is a perennial stream, Poppaw Creek, which will serve as a
barrier for subsurface methane migration.
Additional gas detection probes will be installed on the site as additional phases are
permitted for operation. Proposed probe locations will be field engineered after the site is
graded so that optimum locations can be selected. Sufficient numbers of gas probes will be
installed to adequately monitor each phase. Construction records for the gas probes will be
submitted to the Division upon completion.
Gas probes will be constructed of nominal 2-inch PVC riser and screen. The screened
interval shall begin at the 5 feet below ground surface and extend to the total depth of the
boring. The probes will be completed with concrete well pads and lockable protective
covers.
If auger refusal is encountered at less than 10 feet below ground surface, the drilling rig will
be offset approximately 10 to 30 feet to make another attempt. If after 3 attempts, no
boring has exceeded 10 feet, but at least one exceeded 5 feet in depth, the probe will be
installed in the deepest boring, with construction adjusted for the shallow depth. If none of
the 3 attempts exceed 5 feet in depth, no probe will be installed at that location.
Within thirty (30) days of completion of any landfill monitoring gas wells, a well construction
record and/or boring log for each well, including but not limited to total depth, screened
interval and distance above the seasonal water table, will be submitted to the SWS. The
submittal will also include a scaled topographic map showing the location and identification
of new, existing and abandoned landfill gas monitoring wells.
Upon final closure, passive landfill gas vents will be installed along with the final cover
system to allow release of gas to the atmosphere. These vents will be installed at a
frequency of approximately one per acre of cap surface area.
1.3 Structure and Ambient Sampling
In accordance with Solid Waste Section’s (SWS) Landfill Gas Monitoring Guidance document
and Rules 15A NCAC 13B.0600, the active facility structures within 1000 feet of waste will
be monitored for methane. All accessible areas of the interiors, especially areas such as
plumbing that could be entry points for gas, will be monitored.

2.0 LANDFILL GAS SAMPLING PROCEDURES
Landfill gas samples will be collected in accordance with Solid Waste Section’s Landfill
Gas Monitoring Guidance document included as Appendix A. Details of detection
equipment and sampling procedures are outlined below.
2.1 Gas Detection Probes
Gas monitoring in detection probes will consist of attaching the monitoring device to each
tubing within the probes, and recording both the initial concentration and steady state
concentration of combustible gases. SWANA guidelines for purging wells and other
monitoring procedures shall be followed.
2.2 Detection Equipment
A portable combustible gas monitor, measuring the concentration of combustible gases in
units of percent of LEL and/or % by volume shall be used to conduct gas monitoring. The
LEL is the lowest percent by volume of a mixture of combustible gas in air that will propagate
a flame at 25 degrees Celsius and atmospheric pressure. The preferred equipment will be a
portable gas monitor that can reliably measure methane and hydrogen sulfide in both
Percent Volume and Percent LEL, such as the Landtec/QED Gas Analyzer and Gas Extraction
Monitor (GA/GEM) series of instruments.
The gas monitoring instrument shall be calibrated to methane according to the
manufacturer's calibration procedure before the monitoring activities begin. The calibration
gas to be used depends on the expected levels of methane in landfill gas monitoring wells.
The appropriate manufacturer’s specified calibration gas concentration shall be used based
on the appropriate monitoring range expected, or beginning with the lower methane
concentration range. Verification that the equipment was calibrated in accordance with the
manufacture’s specifications is required. Calibration information must be recorded on the
Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form.
The H2S monitor or pod shall be calibrated to H2S using the manufacturer's calibration kit
and procedure before the monitoring activities begin. Most instruments monitor for, and are
calibrated in, the 0-500 ppm range for H2S for purposes of human health and safety. This
range is more protective than the explosive limit monitoring requirement, and should provide
warning of H2S migration long before exceedance of the LEL.
2.3 Response to Detected Combustible Gases
The regulatory action levels for combustible gas monitoring in gas detection probes are
100% LEL at the facility boundary and 25% LEL in on-site structures. Following a non-
compliant reading, Coble’s Sandrock, Inc. will notify the North Carolina Department of
VII – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates, PC C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
5
Environmental Quality, Solid Waste Section in writing and will take immediate steps to
ensure safety and protection of human health.
At a minimum, the following actions will be taken if the methane concentration exceeds 25%
of the LEL in any structure:
• Put out all smoking materials and turn off all ignition sources;
• Evacuate all personnel;
• Vent the structure;
• Do not allow personnel to reenter the building, except to perform gas monitoring,
until the results of additional monitoring indicate that methane concentrations
are sustained or stabilized below 25% LEL;
• Begin continuous monitoring within the structure; and
• Undertake an assessment to determine the origin and pathways of the gas
migration.
Within seven days of detection, the monitoring results, actions taken and actions proposed
to resolve the problem will be placed in the Operating Record. Within 60 days of detection,
Coble’s Sandrock, Inc. will develop and implement a landfill gas remediation plan for the
combustible gas releases and notify the Division that the plan has been implemented. The
plan will describe the nature and extent of the problem and the proposed remedy.
2.4 Landfill Gas Sampling Protocol
The portable combustible gas monitor will be turned on and allowed to warm up prior to
gas sampling. The static pressure should show a reading of zero before taking the
initial sample. The sample tube shall be purged for at least one minute prior to
connecting the sample tube to the detection well, and then the initial concentration will
be recorded. Gas monitoring will continue until the readings have stabilized. A stable
reading is considered to be +/- 0.5% by volume on the instrument’s scale. Once the
reading has stabilized for 5 seconds, the reading will be recorded and the tubing will be
disconnected from the valve. These steps will be repeated for each landfill gas monitoring
well.
While sampling, results for methane should be determined in Percentage of the LEL as well
as Percent Volume. Some instruments such as the Landtec GEM series track both
measurements, if the instrument does not, both the LEL and Percent Volume of each
monitored point need to be calculated for proper reporting. 100 percent of the LEL for
methane is equivalent to 5 Percent Volume in air; therefore;
Percent Volume can be converted into percent of the LEL by multiplying by a factor of 20:
Methane in % Volume X 20 = % LEL, and
VII – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates, PC C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
6
Percent LEL can be converted to Percent Volume with:
%LEL/20 = % Volume Methane
The results should be recorded for proper reporting as described in the following sections.
Gas monitoring in on-site structures will attempt to identify the "worst case" concentrations.
The monitoring locations will be in corners along floors and ceilings, at cracks in the
floor, and at other areas likely to accumulate gas. Gas monitoring will also be conducted
in any confined space requiring the entry of personnel for maintenance or inspection.
The monitoring will take place prior to entry by personnel in accordance with OSHA
regulations.
2.5 Sampling and Analysis Procedure
The required monitoring will be completed by a properly trained professional. The portable
equipment to be used will be designed for the detection of combustible gases or vapors.
The standard operating procedure for this type of monitoring is as follows:
• Calibrate the monitoring equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Measure and record the undisturbed probe pressure/vacuum. This requires
connecting the pressure gauge to a device such as quick connect, or a valve, and
then opening the valve to measure the pressure.
• Leak check the entire sample train by sealing the end of the monitoring hose and
verifying that air does not leak into the sample train either through stoppage of
the pump or maintaining a complete seal.
• Purge the probe casing (piping). Based on probe casing volume and sample
pump flow rate, determine the purge time to pump over two volumes from the
casing using the sample pump. The objective is to monitor soil gas from void
spaces surrounding the probe screened interval.
• Read and record the stabilized concentration of methane.
• If the methane reading continually increases as the probe is pumped, the initial
concentration after purging is recorded because the objective is to record the
conditions of the gas around the probe rather than gases that can be pulled to
the probe via the pumping process.
• Keep monitoring results in the landfill operating record.
The personnel performing the LFG potential migration monitoring and data evaluation will be
knowledgeable of the factors that may influence migration. This will ensure that the
monitoring effort will be thorough and that potential problems can quickly be identified and
VII – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates, PC C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina

corrected. The following are several factors that monitoring personnel will remain aware of
and/or make visual observations of:
• Distressed vegetation, signs of stunted growth, wilting, color changes, death
during the growing season, and bare spots;
• Increased “rotten egg” odors around the landfill, indicating the presence of
hydrogen sulfide, a common trace constituent found in landfill gas; and
• Air bubbles permeating through standing water outside the limits of waste that
may be from gas laterally migrating and finding its way to the surface.
• Development of surrounding areas, such as placing impermeable ground covers
(i.e., paved parking areas, building slabs), can force landfill gas to remain
underground and promote lateral migration. Additionally, off-site structures and
utilities can provide enclosed areas in which landfill gas may collect and pose a
safety hazard;
• Heavy irrigation or rainfall that saturates the soil may provide an impermeable
barrier to landfill gas causing lateral migration;
• Excavation activities such as utility trenches may cause landfill gas to escape
through the soils and into the excavation. The landfill gas may accumulate to
explosive levels or displace oxygen within the excavation. Both possibilities
compromise safety;
• Surface cracks or settlement can cause uncontrolled venting of landfill gas or air
intrusion into the landfill that could reduce landfill gas quality (decrease methane
concentration) or increase the potential for a landfill fire;
• Barometric pressure, wind, and temperature can affect the net pressure of landfill
gas present. At a lower barometric pressure, more landfill gas tends to escape
through the cover or the surrounding surface; and
• Snow or frozen ground cover, as with saturated soil, can reduce surface
permeability and increase lateral migration of landfill gas.
2.6 LFG Monitoring Frequency
The landfill gas wells and on-site structures included in this LGMP will be monitored at least
quarterly in accordance with current regulations. The gas wells will be monitored for the
second and fourth quarterly events in conjunction with the semiannual groundwater
monitoring events which usually occur in April-June and October-December.
2.7 Safety Precautions
During landfill gas monitoring events, special attention will be placed on areas and probes
with methane concentrations approaching or exceeding the regulatory limits. Excessive
concentrations of combustible gases in structures (i.e., 25% LEL or greater) shall be cause
VII – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates, PC C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina
8
for immediate evacuation of any structure that is staffed. Entry into the building should be
prohibited until the concentrations are maintained at satisfactory levels. The source of the
gas, or gas migration pathway, shall be investigated to determine appropriate courses of
action to prevent the reoccurrence of the event. As a general rule, maintaining a good air
flow in the space and good ventilation will help prevent potential gas build-up situations. In
addition, methane concentrations in areas that are usually closed off, such as closets and
equipment service areas, can be managed with a louvered door and through-the-wall vents.
3.0 RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING
The landfill gas data will be recorded in accordance to the SWS’s Landfill Gas
Monitoring Guidance document included as Appendix A . The records will be maintained
in the landfill operating record. If there are exceedances of regulatory limits, the NCDEQ
will be notified within seven calendar days of the detection.
3.1 Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form
An example landfill gas monitoring form is included as Appendix B.
3.2 Sampling Reports
The landfill gas monitoring reports will be prepared in accordance with the NCDEQ-DWM-
SWS Gas Monitoring Guidance (Appendix A), and current requirements for C&D landfills.
Electronic submittals of reports, when required, will be in accordance with the SWS
Memo, dated November 4, 2014, included as Appendix C. The reports will describe the
method of sampling, the date, time, location, sampling personnel, atmospheric
temperature, reported barometric pressure, equipment calibration information, exceptions
noted during sampling, and general weather conditions at the time of sampling, in addition
to the concentration of combustible gases in percent volume and percent of the LEL.
3.3 Permanent Record Keeping
A copy of the landfill gas monitoring results and any remediation plans will be maintained in
the landfill operating record. The reports will be maintained at the facility or an alternative
location near the facility approved by the Division.
4.0 CONTINGENCY PLAN
If methane gas or hydrogen sulfide gas levels that exceed the regulatory limits are
detected, the results shall be reported to Burke County immediately. The County will
notify the NCDEQ, SWS in writing and will take immediate steps to ensure safety and
protection of human health.
VII – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan LaBella Associates, PC C&D LF 5-Year Permit Renewal/LOS May 2019
Coble’s Sandrock, North Carolina

If methane or hydrogen sulfide levels exceed the LEL in existing gas probes, the need
for additional gas probes will be evaluated, as well as the need for additional monitoring
within any nearby structures in the direction of the gas migration. If the exceedance is in
a gas well not located at or near a property boundary, additional investigation including
use of bar-hole probes or temporary gas wells may be implemented to determine whether
or not the exceedance extends to the property boundary. If necessary, additional
permanent gas wells may be installed between the exceeding well(s) and the property
boundary to demonstrate that the site is in compliance.
If a compliance level is exceeded in an on-site structure, options will be evaluated to
reduce the current methane or hydrogen sulfide levels and to prevent further migration
of gasses into the structure. At a minimum, the following actions will be taken if the
methane or hydrogen sulfide concentrations exceed 25% of the LEL in any structure:
• Put out all smoking materials and turn off all ignition sources;
• Evacuate all personnel;
• Vent the structure;
• Do not allow personnel to reenter the building except to perform gas monitoring
until the results of additional monitoring indicate that gas concentrations are
sustained or stabilized below 25% of the LEL;
• Begin continuous monitoring within the structure; and
• Undertake an assessment to determine the origin and pathways of the gas
migration.
Within seven days of detection above the regulatory limits, the monitoring results will be
placed in the Operating Record and the County will indicate actions taken and actions
proposed to resolve the problem. Within 60 days of detection, the County will develop
and implement a landfill gas remediation plan for the combustible gas releases and
notify the Division that the plan has been implemented. The plan will describe the nature
and extent of the problem and the proposed remedy.
Hydrogen sulfide becomes dangerous to human health at concentrations well below the
Lower Explosive Limit. The OSHA Personal Exposure Limit (PEL) for H2S is 10 ppm for 8-
hours or 50 ppm peak exposure, and the NIOSH Immediately Dangerous to Life and
Human Health (IDLH) limit for H2S is 100 ppm. North Carolina Solid Waste Management
Regulations only require monitoring for explosive gas levels, not hazardous levels;
however, we recommend voluntary monitoring for H2S in the potentially hazardous range.
If H2S is detected at concentrations above 10 ppm in any gas probe or outdoor ambient air
monitoring point, or above 2.5 ppm inside any structure, we recommend that the
County be notified immediately and appropriate action will be taken to protect human
health, similar to the actions described above.
