Coffey, Head Permitting Branch, Solid Waste Section NC DENR 401 Oberlin Road Suite 150 Raleigh, NC 27605 Re: Closure of Champion Industrial Waste Landfill Haywood County, NC, Permit # 44-01 Dear Mr. Coffey: Champion has received your October 25, 1999 letter in which the Solid Waste Section made the determination that the above referenced landfill was closed in accordance with the applicable requirements and is now considered closed, subject to certain post closure conditions. The effective date of closure is determined by your receipt of the following notice: Champion intends to maintain the facility in compliance with the post closure conditions specified in your letter of October 25, 1999. As you are aware, this landfill stopped receiving waste in 1991 and has been awaiting a closure determination from the Solid Waste Section for many years. During the interim period, semi-annual ground water and surface water monitoring has been continued, with results reported to the Solid Waste Section. Routine inspections were also conducted during this time by your Section. Because this information has been collected over a nine year period following the physical closure of the landfill, Champion intends to seek special consideration from your office regarding the standard post closure condition requiring at least five additional years of water quality monitoring from this point forward. Pending that request and your determination, Champion will continue semi-annual monitoring as specified in the post closure conditions. Thank you for your assistance in bringing this matter to closure. I will call your office to seek advice as to how Champion might pursue its request for consideration regarding the post closure water quality monitoring period. Sincerely Thomas B.

That inspection was conducted on May 29, 1999 by Mr. Patrick J. Flood, P.E-, Manager, Waste Services Group of Earth Tech in Greenville, SC. A copy of Mr. Flood's June 1, 1999 report of his findings is attached for your review, as is a copy of my May 28, 1999 letter requesting his services. I had previously inspected the landfill on March 23, 1999 so l am not surprised when Mr. Flood reports nothing out of order with the current conditions. l will forward a copy of the photographs taken during his inspection as soon as they are reproduced. Champion understands and appreciates the need for the DHENR to respond appropriately to citizen's complaints. The attached information is offered only to more thoroughly document the current conditions of the landfill_ 1 look forward to speaking with you farther regarding this situation and trust that you will keep me informed of DHENR's intended course of action.

Mill. This examination took place on May 29, 1999, presented brlow is it summary of that =aam n n. L=M1 12pography Lw d= No. I contains two major surfaces. The upper surfer is flat and level. The landW is located belxind a series of residences and extenda to the edge of the slope. The upper surface is currently being used as a hayfield. The majority of the residences exist at the southwest cud of the rapper surface, with one residance looted south of Landfill No. 1. Prom the upper surface, Landfill No.1 slopes cast and northeast down toward the Pigeon River. An access rued exists at the base of ttac slope. A spur of this access road leads down to the edge of the Pigeon River. Site Examination The landfill examination took place in three major parts. First, the upper surface of dw landfill was examined for the presence of visible waste mmerial. As noted above, this surface of the landfill is currently being used as a Hayfield. At the time of my site visit, the hay had been newly cut, but not yet raked into windrows, affording an excellent opportunity to view the condition of the landfill surfma. At the time of my site visit, the landfill surface cover appaered to be Intact. No visible waste, holes, or rutting In the surface was apparent. E A R T H T E C H n %1VW wn xra. LM eo~ 06/01/99 16;49 FAX 2033587407 CHAMPION EHS STANFORD L� 044 JUN 01 '99 03:03PM EARTH TECH P.3 The second phase of the =aminatiou consisted of walking along the slope benches on the river side of the landfill to determine if visible waste existed. The vegetation is much better established than that last time we visited the site. The thick vegetation made walking the length of the first bench from the top very difficult. Y had intended to walk mwross the landfill on the first bench and to walls back to the road along the second bench. However, the vegetation on the second bench was too thick to navigate safely. The Brat beach provided numerous areas to examine the slope and to take photogWbs. The fetal phase of the examination consisted of walking the road se the base of the laradfll slope and observing the condition of'the repaixs and looking for areas of exposed waste. In addition, I walked clown the lower toad (toward the river) to check for visible waste or signs of slope distress. Sutmnary of Findings Bawd oa my examinatloru of the bite, i did not find any evidence of the existence of visible waste mawr➢al at the upper surface of the landfill. Due the hay field being freshly mown, wawa rnawriol would steely have been readily observed. This area of the landM was not noticeably different from whoa we examined the site on March 23, 1999, The landfill slope, too, was not noticeably different from when we examined the site in March. The vegetation has grown considerably tlti ; thin areas of Vegetatiou were very rare. The repaired eras are still holding up well and do not appear to have degraded since we were there in March. No visible waste was noted, with the possible exception of small amunt of material that may be ash near the bottom of the slope (see photograph). It is possible that this mat eW is topsoil; it was difficalt to positively identify the wAtm ial in questioa. This material was noted in two small (approximately four square inches each) areas near the edge of the retaining wall where the vegetation was thin. Attached to this letter is a photogmphk log describing the pictures taken of the site as well as a set of photographs whir-h provide an overall view of the condition of the landfill. As caul be sue, tho upper surface of the landfill appears to be in excellent condition; the landfill slope also appears to be in excellent condition. The landfill appears to be in the same condition as when wo visited the site in Match, the only ohange berms the improvement in the vegetation cover.
