RE: Post -Closure Monitoring Requirements - Graham County Closed Landfill (Permit # 38-01)
Dear Mr. Cabe:
The Solid Waste Section has reviewed the November 28, 2001 proposal by Altamont
Environmental, Inc. (Altamont) on behalf of Graham County to revise water quality monitoring
requirements at the above referenced landfill. The five-year post closure monitoring period
ended February 2001 and Altamont proposed annual monitoring at the facility as opposed to the
current requirement of semiannual monitoring.
Based on the information submitted and as allowed by 15A NCAC Section .0601, the proposal is
conditionally approved. Graham County may begin annual sampling of surface water locations
and monitoring wells beginning with the June 2002 event.
However, the Solid Waste Section reserves the right to reinstate semiannual monitoring
requirements with additional sampling and analysis if conditions change at the site or there are
documented violations of water quality standards. A reduction in monitoring frequency does not
absolve Graham County of compliance with applicable ground water and surface water quality
standards.
Sampling and analysis requirements will continue to be for the attached list of parameters for
closed landfills.
If you have any questions, please call me at [phone], extension 257.
Sincerely,
G

Re: Correction of January 2002 Correspondence Addressing Revised Monitoring Requirements
for the Graham County Landfill (Permit # 38-01)
Dear Mr. Cabe:
Attached, please find a corrected copy of the above referenced letter previously sent to you. The
original letter has a couple of errors that need correcting. The last sentence of the third paragraph
should read; `A reduction in monitoring frequency does tat absolve Graham County of
compliance with applicable ground water and surface water quality standards. " In addition, the
date should read January 8, 2002. Please accept my apology for any confusion or problems
caused.
If you have any questions, please call me at [phone], extension 257.
