Box 2091 • Raleigh, North Carolina 27602-2091 James G. Martin, Governor Ronald H. Levine, M.D., M.P.H. David T. Flaherty, Secretary April 24, 1989 State Health Director Mr. Marshall E. Reynolds Hayesville Sewage Plant P.O. Box 235 Hayesville, N.C. 28904 Subject: Disposal of two tons/year of municipal wastewater treatment residue in the Clay County Landfill (Permit #22-01) Dear Mr. Reynolds: General Statute 130A-294 authorizes the Solid Waste Management Section to regulate solid waste management in North Carolina. It, therefore, gives authority to the Section to evaluate wastes that may pose a threat to the environment or to public health and to subsequently prohibit disposal of these wastes at a sanitary landfill in accordance with Sections .0103(d) and (e) of the Solid Waste Management Rules, 10 N.C.A.C. 10G. Your recent request for disposal of the subject waste has been critically reviewed and evaluated by section personnel. It is concluded that the waste is not suitable for sanitary landfill disposal because of free liquid content which caused the waste to not pass the paint filter test. For this reason, your request is denied. It is recommended that the waste be disposed in a hazardous waste landfill as non -hazardous waste. An alternative would be to treat the waste to a drying process where it would be converted into a liquid -free sludge suitable for land application with a permit from the N.C. Department of Environmental Protection. As a last resort, after such treatment, the sludge might be suitable for disposal in the landfill. At minimum, it must pass the paint filter test. If you have any further questions, please contact this office at (919) 733-0692. Sincerely, William R.

J ROGER OXFOR CHEMIST STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SECTION SOLID WASTE BRANCH PROCEDURE AND CRITERIA FOR WASTE DETERMINATION - This procedure will be used by the Division of Health Services to determine whether a waste is (1) hazardous as defined by 10 NCAC 10F, and (2) suitable for disposal at a solid waste management facility. The types of wastes that will be evaluated by this procedure are primarily, but not exclusively, industrial and commercial wastes and sludges, and Publicly Owned Treatment Works Sludges. The Division of Health Services reserves the right to request additional information or waive some of the requirements based on the type of waste if it deems necessary. The Division may also require some wastes to be treated or altered to render the wastes environmentally immobile prior to disposal at a sanitary landfill. Wastes disposed at sanitary landfills must be non -liquid and,'in a form that can be confined, compacted, and .covered in accordance with the "Solid Waste Management Rule". APPROVAL TO DISPOSE OF THE WASTE SFALL ALSO BE C 3TAINED FROM THE OWNER OR OPERATOR OF THE LANr.-:ILL PRIOR TO DISPOSAL. The following information is required for an evaluation. Incomplete waste determination forms will be returned to the generator without review. An asterisk(*) denotes information required for Publicly Owned Treatment Works. A * GENERAL INFORMATION 1.

Levine, M.D., M.P.H. State Health Director Re: Installing a Submergible Pump in a Monitoring Well at the Clay County Landfill (Permit #22-01) Dear Mr. Moore, Upon a thorough review of the literature that you provided, our office does not recommend installing the submergible pump in the upgradient monitoring well at the Clay County Landfill, because this could compromise the integrity of ground -water samples taken from this well. Installing a pump would prevent the use of bailers for ground -water sampling. Therefore, you would be creating a "dedicated monitoring system". The pump proposed does not meet the technical specifications necessary for use in a dedicated monitoring system. Some of the internal parts of the pump are not made of inert materials and could contaminate ground -water samples. Also, this pump does not have the ability to regulate the water flow adequately to collect VOA samples without undue volatilization. (Refer to pages 6 and 7 of the "North Carolina Water Quality Monitoring Guidance Document For Solid Waste Facilities".) Since the various parameters are analyzed in parts per million and parts per billion, every reasonable precaution must be taken to avoid possible contamination. Because of the potential liability associated with water quality data, it is of the utmost importance to ensure the integrity of the sampling equipment and sampling techniques. Unfortunately, a pump that would meet the technical specifications for a dedicated monitoring system would probably not have the characteristics required to serve the purpose you desire of cleaning landfill equipment. Finally, the mere installation of the pump may jeopardize the integrity of the well itself. Page 2 For these reasons, our office believes it would be best to avoid any potential problems of contamination by restricting the use of monitoring wells for monitoring purposes only. Subsequently, the request to install a submergible pump is not approved. If you have any questions or we can be of further assistance, please contact our office at (919) 733-0692.

Meyer Director Re: Conditional Approval of Request to Use Deep Well for Purposes Other Than Ground -water Monitoring at the Clay County Sanitary Landfill (Permit #22-01) Dear Mr. Moore, This letter is in response to your request to use the deep well (that is part of the upgradient well nest at the Clay County Landfill facility) for washing landfill equipment and other purposes other than monitoring. Our office does not have a map that.shows the location of the deep well. Since it is described as being part of an upgradient well nest, I am assuming that this well is located near the other upgradient monitoring well, designated as MW-1 on the Clay County Landfill facility map on file in our office. Based on this assumption, and the fact that this deep well is constructed in a manner that does not meet the design specifications of the Solid Waste Section for monitoring wells, our office approves the use of this well for other purposes. During the course of evaluating the Well Completion Records, another problem surfaced regarding the monitoring system established at the Clay County Landfill. It appears that all of the monitoring wells were drilled deeper than is necessary or desirable for detection monitoring purposes. I am enclosing a letter recently sent by our office to Rufus Donaldson Well Drilling concerning the installation of monitoring wells that are too deep for an effective detection monitoring system. In our recent telephone conversation you expressed a willingness to drill another monitoring well to replace the deep well you want to use for washing landfill equipment. I would really like to see several shallow monitoring wells established to more effectively monitor the impact of the landfill on the uppermost aquifer. These more shallow wells would be somewhat less expensive than the deeper wells already constructed. Ideally, a well in the saturated soil zone is needed at each of the locations already having a deeper well. Page 2 I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss with you the modification of your existing ground -water monitoring system to accomodate these concerns. Our office has not received any analytical data from the sampling of the wells at the Clay County Landfill facility. If the wells have been sampled, please forward copies of the analytical results to our office. This data will be useful in evaluating what additional modifications are needed in your monitoring system. Please contact our office if you have any questions or comments regarding the content of this letter. I will look forward to hearing from you so we can discuss the monitoring program at the Clay County Landfill.

Box 943 Hayesville, N.C. 28904 William L. Meyer Director Re: The Installation of Ground -water Monitoring Wells at Landfills Permitted by the N.C. Solid Waste Section Dear Mr. Donaldson, Our office continues to be concerned by the extreme depths of some of the monitoring wells you have been installing. The purpose of this letter is to clarify what the Solid Waste Section requires in the design and construction of ground -water monitoring wells at landfill facilities. The purpose of establishing a ground -water monitoring system is to determine the effect of the landfill on the ground water of the area. Since the ground water that would be affected first is in the uppermost portion of the aquifer, this zone is where the well screens need to be set. In the majority of cases this will mean the wells will be constructed in the around water in the saturated soil zone above the bedrock. It is desirable to set the well screens in the most highly conductive zones of the uppermost aquifer. Frequently this means placing the well screens in the saprolite just above the bedrock. Since drilling into the bedrock could provide a pathway for ground water contamination to spread, it is not desirable to drill into the bedrock unless it is absolutely necessary. Therefore if any ground water is encountered in the soil zone (above bedrock), you should not drill into the bedrock. If no ground water at all is encountered in the soil zone, then it will become necessary to continue drilling untill ground water is found. In constructing monitoring wells in bedrock, drilling should continue only 12 to 15 feet past the water table (i.e. - where water is first encountered). Page 2 The Well Completion Records you sent our office for Clay County indicate that ground water was encountered at depths of 3 to 26 feet below the top of the well casings. The wells were drilled to depths of 45 to 70 feet. Therefore these wells were installed much deeper than is necessary or desirable. Our office does not approve the drilling of wells this deep for detection monitoring purposes. In a recent conversation you stated that the monitoring wells installed in Cherokee County had to be drilled to depths of 109 to 247 feet because the water table was not penetrated until these depths were reached. However, a TVA map submitted as part of the Site Plan for the Cherokee County Landfill indicates that the water table is encountered at depths of less than 10 feet in several areas, especially at the lower end of the landfill site near the river. Perhaps the difficulty is in some confusion over how to define "water table". The water table is the upper limit of the ground wholly saturated with water. In drilling a drinking water well one wants to drill (usually into bedrock) until a "water zone" is found that provides an adequate "yield" of water. For the design of a detection monitoring well the objective is different. One wants to merely penetrate the "water table" sufficiently to obtain an adequate amount of water for sampling purposes. Finding "water zones" or zones of good "yield" are of little importance for monitoring wells, since only a small amount of water is needed for sampling. It is of much more importance to monitor the ground water in the saturated soil zone just below the water table (and above the bedrock in most hydrogeological settings). I have enclosed a copy of our current "Guidance Document", a "Typical Monitoring Well Schematic" diagram, and some sketches showing where to set the well screens. Hopefully this letter has clarified what the Solid Waste Section requires for monitoring well design and construction. In the future please construct all monitoring wells at landfills according to the guidelines outlined in this letter and in the "North Carolina Water Quality Monitoring Guidance Document For Solid Waste Facilities". If you have any questions while drilling a monitoring well at a particular landfill site, please call us for assistance. If you have any general questions or comments regarding the contents of this letter, please contact our office at (919) 733-0692.
