Re: Huffman Demolition Landfills
Catawba County
Dear Mr. Huffman:
The enclosed petmits are issued in accordance with
G. S, 130-166. 18.
Please note that Site A-1 is not approved as submitted.
This is due to the area (see attached)immediately
upgradient from the proposed fill area, which would
impound surface runoff. In order for a permit to be
issued for this area, the runoff fromthe area would
have to be managed in a controlled way so that excessive
erosion or impounded water would not occur. This office
will evaluate any proposals you may submit.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please conta~t
me at 919/733-2178.
Respectfully,
JGL:ns

Re: Huffman Demolition Landfil 1 Permit Application
Dear Mr. Laffon:
We are in receipt of your letter objecting to the demolition landfill permit
application on file with this office. The application has been reviewed and
a permit issued for area A-2 identified on the enclosed map. Area A-1 has been
denied until the applicant can demonstrate how water collecting in the hatched
area, on enclosed map, will be managed. It is felt that ponding may occur as
a result of fill fog area A-1. As for the specific objections you have raised, ---CwiTf-try to address each of them.---------. --
I saw no evidence of excessive erosion or siltation occurring in the drainage-
way below the site .. The photographs of runoff from behind your house is from
an old fill area which is not under consideration for a permit.
Working slopes of the currently permitted
3:1 slope and stabilized upon completion.
prior to our regulations and we therefore
sites.
site will be maintained at 2.5:1 to
The old fill areas were completed
have no control over clean-up of these·
The pollution mentioned is assumed to be the orange~red mass of.material in the
small stream below the site. This.material has been identified as an iron
bacteria, Gallionella, by the bacteriological section of the State Environ-
mental Health Labw. This bacteria is naturally occurring, non-pathogenic, and
of no public health concern. From discussions with engineers in the State
Water Supply Section, this material is only objectionable from an aesthetic stand-
point.
The site has been visited by a representative of the Land Quality Section of
the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. We feel the
best recommendation is the installation of brush barriers at the toe of the slope
to reduce any off-site siltation.
Mr. Bob Apple has seen some misuse of the landfill area and has stopped the
illegal dumping on the opposite side of the draw from the horse barn.

Recommendations
To= Bob Apple
DNRCD, 810 Westminster Circle
Lenoir, North Carolina 28645
Date: August 17, 1982
File Code:
I met with Joe Huffman today persua.nt to our conversation on August 11, 1982.
We drove out to the existing dump site on the Floyd property which Mr. Huffman
is currently using.
As we agreed last Wednesday, the water flowing down the slope behind the Laffon
property is not originating from the dump site Mr. Huffman is using. Most of
the watershed on the drain behind the Laffon property originates on and above
the "old" existing dump site that is now not in use. The drain for this water-
shed is the third draw right of the gravel and concrete road looking upstream.
The second draw to the right, using the same references, is the one at the head
of which Mr. Huffman is now using as his dump site. It contributes in no way
to the water coming down beside the Laffon property. It is a separate watershed.
The first draw, along the side of which runs the gravel and concrete road, and
the second draw, to the right, have a. common drain. This is the 1811 culvert
running under the concrete part of the road at its low point. (There is a
shack beside this concrete road on the right going toward the lake. The culvert
empties beside this shack.)
After observing Mr. Huffman's present dump site, the only recommendations I
provided were:
1. Sow in grass, and maintain this grass, on the flat area of his
fill that will not be subjected to travel or damage by heavy
equipment. This will reduce the speed of which runoff occurs
and will filter the runoff.
2. Do not make the slope of the fill so steep that it is unstable or
that it cannot be adequately sown to grass and maintained.
3. Maintain the dirt road to the dump to keep erosion to a minimum.
4. Do not allow the water leaving the dump site to enter the draw
below any faster than it no:rma.lly would if the dump wasn•t there.

Recommendations
:Bob Apple File Code:
Concerning the culvert draining both draws down at the concrete roa.d, I
was unable to see how the present dump site would contribute enough water
by itself to cause the flooding of' the concrete driveway.
I observed the way the culvert was installed. Only a.bout 1.5 -2 feet of
hea.d. over the upper invert can be achieved before water flows over the road.
Given this size culvert, this is probably not enough head to charge the pipe
and force it to carry the cubic feet per second (cfs) it needs to drain the
water shed without topping.
The gravel road coming down the first dra.w is contributing substantially to
the rapid runoff and sediment found in the bottom of this draw. The road
does not have the necessary runoff and erosion control measures it needs to
prevent its deterioration. Due to the size of the watershed and the steep
land involved, I doubt that a 1811 culvert is satisfactory to convey the run-
off even under the best hydrologic conditions.
I hope these recommendations are helpful to you. If I can be of any help in
the future, please call.
