Please find enclosed two copies of the application for the permit to construct Phase 1 of
the Lenoir County Landfill. The Design Hydrogeologic Report was submitted to
Elizabeth Stewart October 14, 2002.
On behalf of Lenoir County, we request that this application be reviewed as quickly as
possible since we need to begin construction on Phase 1 by the 1" of March 2003.
We appreciate any and all consideration that can be given this project. If you have any

Re: Notification of Site Suitability
Lenoir County Landfill
Dear Mr. Bauer:
The Solid Waste Section of the Division of Waste Management has completed its review of the
site study for the Lenoir County Landfill. Pursuant to Rule .1618(a)(1), the Division hereby notifies
Lenoir County that the 127-acre site, as proposed in the conceptual plan, is suitable for development
of a solid waste management facility. Lenoir County is authorized to prepare an application for a
permit to construct.
The Permit to Construct Application shall be prepared in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B
• .1617(a) and shall address the first five-year phase of landfill development. The Permit to Construct
Application should be in general accordance with the conceptual plan shown in the Site Study;
however, the Division will approve a specific disposal area only after reviewing the Facility Plan as
required by Rule. 1617(a)(1).
Solid Waste Management Rule .0201 requires the Division to issue a solid waste permit in two
parts. The first part is a Permit to Construct and the second part is a Permit to Operate. This letter is
not a permit. This letter only informs the applicant that they may proceed with their permit application.
The final action the Division may take on a permit application is the issuance or denial of a permit.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Sherri Coghill at [phone],
extension 259.

Dear Mr. Sugg:
The Solid Waste Section has received and reviewed the responses from the initial Site
Suitability Hydrogeologic Report for the Lenoir County MSW Landfill (dated August
1998) submitted by Municipal Engineering Services Company, P.A. on April 4, 2002.
Please respond to the following concern.
In regards to the wetland area in the far eastern corner of the site, submit in greater detail

Re: Review of Site Suitability Hydrogeological Report
Lenoir County Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
LaGrange, NC — Lenoir County
• Dear Mr. Sugg:
The Solid Waste Section has reviewed the Site Suitability Hydrogeologic Report for the
Lenoir County MSW Landfill submitted by Municipal Engineering Services Company,
P.A. in August 1998. Please respond to the following concerns.
Section II
2.1.2 — Public Water Supply Wells
There are only five water supply wells mentioned in this section, which is a
discrepancy from the previous Section 2.1. In Section 2.1, six wells are listed. Correct
the discrepancy and submit correct number of water supply wells.
• Figure I — 2-Mile Perimeter Map
There are only five public water supply wells shown on map when six were listed
in Section 2.1. How many water supply wells are present in the surrounding area?
Correct the map and submit new map.

Figure 2 — 2000-Foot Perimeter Map
The map shows a closed MSW landfill and a LCID landfill. These landfills are
not mentioned in the Background, Section 1.2. There should be mention of any and all
existing landfills in the background section. When did the old MSW close? Is the LCID
still in operation? Add this information to Section 1.2 and submit.
Appendix F — Hydrogeologic Study
Text
Page 6 — It is stated that "water elevation data from September 22, 1997 was used
to generate the potentiometric map located on Plate 2". This is different than the
statement on page 2 that says the single day water level readings used to create the
potentiometric map on Plate 2 were taken from February 1, 1998. It also states in the
notes portion on Plate 2 that the water level data was taken from February 2, 1998.
Correct page 6 and submit new page.
Tables
Table 1 — There are no units displayed on this table. Display the proper units and
submit new table.
•
Table 2 — There is no title on this table and there are no units displayed. What •
data is this table presenting? Add title and units to the table and submit new one.
Figures
Plate 2 — Potentiometric Map
The water level reading for P-2 is incorrect. According to Table 1— Groundwater
Elevation Summary, the correct reading is 65.81 feet. Change the figure to display the
correct water level reading and submit new figure.
In the far eastern corner of the site near Phase 1 there is a good sized wetland
area. This wetland extends south along the berm of Phase 1. What are the plans for
protecting this wetland area?
Plate 3A — Cross -Section A -A' •
There does not appear to be the required 4-foot separation between the water
elevation and ground surface elevation at P-9. Rule 0.1624(4) states a required 4-foot
separation between post settlement bottom elevation of the liner and the seasonal high
water table.
For the Design Study report, submit a figure displaying the long-term seasonal is
high groundwater elevations overlaying the subgrade.

• Appendix A — Boring Logs
Are the piezometers, marked with an "A", used to for the slug tests still present?
If not, the abandonment records need to be submitted.
The well construction record for P-20 is missing. Submit this record for P-20.
Appendix B — Precipitation and Soil Data
4t' Page — Final Quality -Controlled Data from National Climatic Data Center thru
4/30/97
This page is blank. Submit this data.
Table displaying water levels in monitoring wells
This table has no units. Place units on table and submit new table. What do the
values on the far right of table (total, count, media and average) represent? There is no
map displaying the location of these monitoring wells. Submit map with the monitoring
well locations displayed.
Slug Tests
• There is no formula displayed on the calculation page. Place the Hvorslev
formula on the calculation sheets.
For future reference, use more significant figures for the radius of the well, i.e.
0.0833 feet instead of only 0.08 feet.
Soil Testing
Where did the percentages for sand, silt, and clay used in the effective porosity
triangles come from? What depth do these triangles represent? There is no soil
laboratory data to confirm the sand, silt and clay percentages. Submit any and all soil
laboratory testing data used to determine the particle size percentages.
No laboratory soil testing data has been presented, i.e. no atterburg limits, no
• USCS data, and no hydrometer readings. Submit all laboratory soil testing information.
In the table entitled "Hydraulic Considerations", where did the permeability
numbers for the non -slug test wells come from?
In the table entitled "Averages for Flow Rates and Effective Porosity", there are
no units presented for the flow rates. Put the proper units on the table and submit new
table.
