Therefore, this violation is considered to be resolved. 2.

In an email dated August 14, 2019, Laura Elliott, Project Geologist, Withers Ravenel, certified that steel casings set in concrete pads had been installed around all landfill gas monitoring wells. MW-1 and MW-5 were inspected, and both steel casings were observed to be properly installed and set in concrete, as required. In addition, the tree and root ball that had damaged MW-5 had been removed so that no further damage to the well would occur. GW-6 and GW-7 were also inspected and steel casings set in concrete appeared to have been installed properly on both wells. Therefore, this violation is considered to be resolved. OBSERVED VIOLATIONS: None. The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit, or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. Several of the new passive landfill gas vents were observed and found to be in good condition. Ms. Elliott stated that the new passive vent in the vicinity of MW-1 and GW-1 had so far not been effective at reducing the exceedances that had been showing up during the monitoring events. She explained that additional work would be done to try to pinpoint the cause of the problem and design a solution. 2. The remaining landfill gas and groundwater monitoring wells that had been cited for deficiencies in construction were inspected and found to be in compliance with construction standards. (See the Status of Past Noted Violations section of this report for additional information.) 3. The landfill slopes appeared to be in good condition and the cap had a well -established vegetative cover. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
