RE: International Paper Landfill No. 5B
Canton, North Carolina
Based on our recent discussions, we are providing this letter to document the
development of the Recreation Park on the closed International Paper Landfill No. 5B.
Unfortunately, several of the people from McGill Associates and the Solid Waste Section that
were involved in the pennitting of the development of the park are no longer working which
makes the recreation of the timeline and permitting documentation difficult. The information
below is based on our available records for the development of the park.
March 2001, McGill Associates begins preliminary investigations and development of
the conceptual site plan for the project.
September 5, 2001, McGill Associates submits Conceptual Site Plan for the Park to Jim
Coffey, Section Chief, Solid Waste Section. The transmittal letter is attached.
February 2002, Bunnell-Lammons Engineering, Inc. (BLE) begins landfill gas
assessment services.
July 19, 2002, BLE completes the Soil Gas Sampling Report. (A copy of the report is in
your files)
December 5, 2002, McGill Associates submits Preliminary Site Plan to Jim Barber, Solid
Waste Section for review. A copy of the letter and the drawing is attached.
January 9, 2003, the Town of Canton receives tentative approval from Jim Coffey of
recreation park plans submitted in December 2002. A copy of the letter is attached.

RE: Proposed International Paper
Recreation Park
Canton, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Coffey:
On behalf of the Town of Canton, we are providing for your review the enclosed
conceptual site plan for the proposed recreation park at the closed Champion International No.
5B landfill in Canton, North Carolina. Per a letter to you, dated August 14, 2001, from Tom
Richardson with International Paper, the Town of Canton plans to enter into a license
agreement with International Paper to develop the park.
McGill Associates has been retained by the Town of Canton to assist in the.
development of the new park. As shown on the enclosed drawing, the park will consist of the
development of nine (9) baseball fields, upgrade of an existing building to be utilized as a
recreation center, and parking areas. A majority of the site will receive 3 to 4 feet of fill to
allow for shaping and drainage. In order to protect the integrity of the existing cap, there
would be no excavation into the existing grade. We are in the process of beginning an initial
evaluation of site for its suitability. We request your comments regarding these proposed
modifications and any special conditions that may be required by the Section. We expect that
the Town will want to proceed with the final engineering design and permitting in the near
future.

RE: Proposed International Paper Recreational Park in Canton, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Stamey:
N
The Solid Waste Section (the Section) has received the Preliminary Site Plan for the Proposed
Athletic Facility on the closed International Paper Landfill Ste (Landfill No. 513) prepared on
your behalf by McGill Associates (letters dated 5 September and 4 December 2002 with Site
Plan drawing dated October 2002). Based on the preliminary plans, six softball fields, two tee
ball fields, a Recreational Center, parking areas, and a walking trail appear to be atop the old
Landfill No.513. The four soccer fields, picnic area, restroom facility, additional parking area,
and concession shelter on the east side of the property appear to be atop the old borrow area.for
Landfill No. 5B while the youth soccer field and additional picnic area to the south appear to be
in the buffer area or flood plain of Beaverdam Creek.
Based on the submitted information, the concept of a proposed athletic facility appears feasible
and constructable. However, certain details need to be addressed before the Section can approve
the post -closure use of Landfill No. 5B as proposed. The Section would like to see a more
detailed plan that would address the following:
- Any construction atop the old landfill must not adversely effect the landfill cap,
including building foundations, light or other pole structures, fencing installation,
bleachers, etc.
- Methane gas is a by-product of organic material decomposition that normally occurs in
landfills. This .gas is explosive in concentrations of 5% to 15% of ambient air.
Therefore, strict monitoring of methane levels in buildings and structures on and adjacent
to the site and at property boundaries is considered an integral part of landfill post closure
care. Methane monitoring is especially important for a publicalty' sed facility.
- No proposed construction or facility feature should involve penetrations through the cap
that would allow a pathway for methane to escape and accumulate.

Subject: I.P. Landfill in Canton NC
Tim,
We wanted to touch base with again regarding the progress at the I.P. Landfill in
Canton.
Haywood County has a contract with a local contractor to begin moving material over to the
Landfill.
The contractor will move the material on -site and have a dozer with a trailing sheepsfoot to
shape and
compact the material to drain the water to the sides.
Currently, we are working on the design for the final ballfield arrangement, along with
drainage
and recreational amenities. One thing the Town of Canton has asked for is to place an
additional restroom/
concession building near there premier field #2. They would like a framed building roughly 700-
1000 sf. The
location would be towards the edge of the landfill to allow for a sewer drain to be in fill, rather
than waste.
As you already, know they have an existing structure on the landfill that has been there for 10
years.
We have carefully looked at this structure for signs of settling and have seen no indications of
any
type of settling. We have also gathered information from one of the dozer operators that was
involved
in the filling process during landfill construction in this area of the landfill (closest to 1-40) He
verified that
this area was filled with lime and fly ash.
We are requesting your response to the feasibility of this proposed structure on the
landfill.
Please let us know what information you may need to review this proposal.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If, possible the Town has a council meeting next
Tuesday,
March 9 and we would like to provide this information for them.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Keller,
As we discussed last week, Altamont Environmental, Inc. (Altamont) on behalf of International Paper Company (IP),
continues to seek documentation regarding the post closure use of Landfill 5B as a Baseball Park. You are aware that
the Town of Canton leases the Landfill 5B cell from IP. Both Altamont and IP are aware that IP remains the responsible
party for the landfill. However, the License Agreement between the Town and IP clearly states that "Prior to
commencing any work at the Premises, Licensee shall obtain all necessary permits as may be required by any
governmental authority or regulatory body and provide proof of same to Licensor. Licensee is responsible for
conducting all necessary studies, investigations and tests to determine the suitability of the Premises for its intended
use. Any modifications to the Premises that may be required to make the Premises suitable for the intended use shall
be the responsibility of the Licensee." For this reason Altamont and IP understand that the Town of Canton and its
consultants were responsible for permitting the post closure use of the landfill. Altamont has requested and is waiting
for documentation from the Town and its consultants regarding this matter and will provide the documentation to you
as soon as we receive it. We do believe that authorization from the SWS was given for the construction of the Baseball
Park.
In the meantime, Altamont conducted a landfill gas (methane) screening event at the Landfill 5B cell to address health
and safety concerns at the site. The results of the screening event are attached. Methane was detected at four of the
38 screening locations (please refer to the attached LF513 Gas Measurements pdf). The maximum detection was
measured at screening location 25 (please refer to the attached LF513 Gas Screening Locations pdf), a stormwater inlet,
and showed a concentration of 0.7% methane which is 14% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). As a proactive
precautionary measure IP constructed a six-foot high, 20-foot by 30-foot, chain -link fence around the stormwater inlet
were the 0.7% methane detection was recorded. Photos of the methane screening locations will follow as an
attachment in a subsequent email due to the size of the attachment. Please feel free to contact me with questions or
comments regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Joel D. Lenk, P.G.

Call To Al Mathews, Canton Town Manager [828-648-2363]
SUMMARY OF COMMUNICATION, CONCLUSIONS, ACTIONS TAKEN OR REQUIRED
DA called Mr. Mathews to inquire on the Town's knowledge of permitting activities for the ball field at the
facility.
In October of 2001 the lease was modified for 25 years to satisfy the requirements of the Parks and Recreation
Trust Fund (NCDENR). This morning he spoke with Joel Storrow of McGill & Associates on this matter. Mr.
Mathews will provide a copy of their lease with International Paper and McGill will supply NCDENR with their
records.
Mr. Mathews believes that approval was given for the construction of the ball field. He was aware that Mr.
Coffey was working on the project.
Andrea Keller is the inspector for facilities in Haywood County.

Subject: Landfill Gas Results
Closed Landfill Permit # 4401-INDUS-1979
International Paper Landfill 5
Canton, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Gaither:
This letter presents the results of preliminary landfill gas monitoring at the above referenced site.
Altamont Environmental, Inc. (Altamont) installed 11 permanent landfill gas probes and four temporary
landfill gas probes on the closed International Paper (IP) Landfill 5 during the week of September 9, 2009
in accordance with the Investigation Plan approved by the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources, Solid Waste Section (NCDENR SWS) on August 17, 2009. Probes were installed
on both the Landfill 5B and 5C cells and along the property boundary. Altamont measured methane and
carbon dioxide levels for all probes on September 14 through 16, 2009. Additionally, Altamont measured
methane concentrations in ambient air around Landfill 5B and within buildings on Landfill 5B. The
results are attached.
Altamont conducted landfill gas measurements for three days with two different monitoring meters to
verify meter accuracy. All landfill gas probes, with the exception of the two wells that were not installed
in landfill waste, had detections of methane that exceed the lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane of
five percent by volume. None of the ambient air measurements had methane detections that exceeded
25% of the LEL. One ambient air measurement at location 29 had a detection of 0.8 % methane. A
temporary fence was constructed around this location to prevent access. (Note: a temporary fence was
also constructed around location 25 after landfill gas monitoring was conducted on July 15 and 16, 2009.)
Please refer to Figures 1 and 2 for reference.
A Landfill Gas Mitigation Plan will be sent to NCDENR SWS within 60 days.
We recently became aware of the attached letter from James C. Coffey with NCDENR SWS to the Town
of Canton, dated January 9, 2003 regarding the Landfill 5B International Paper Sports Complex. We are
currently attempting to clarify with the Town of Canton the status of the various items noted in the letter.

RE: Audit Report 44-01 Champion International Industrial Landfill(No virus check: exceeding
maximum content size)
44-01 Closure Letter 102599.pdf; Fletcher Group investigation 04242000.pdf; BLE report
07192002.pdf; Neo Corp Building Photo 10181979.pdf; LFS.pdf
The following email is a summary of the documents and correspondence we found in our archived files regarding landfill
gas.
Jim Coffey with the Solid Waste Section of NCDENR released a post -closure permit and conditions letter dated October
25, 1999 for Landfill 5. One conditions states "the owner and/or operator shall take the measures necessary to ensure
that the closed site shall continue to meet the design standards for landfill gas found in Rule .0503(2)(a)." The
conditions also states, "plans for post closure uses shall avoid possibilities for the entrapment of methane gas." This
closure letter is attached.
Tom Ross with Champion International Corporation (a company that subsequently merged with International Paper
Company in 2000) contacted Stu Ryman with The Fletcher Group (currently Altamont Environmental, Inc.) to manage
Landfill 5's post closure conditions on December 3, 1999.
Stu Ryman sent Tom Ross an email dated April 13, 2000 after an on -site meeting with Mark Poindexter from the Solid
Waste Section of NCDENR stating, "Mark Poindexter is well aware of the gas monitoring we are doing at some MSWLF
sites in WNC and he made no indication that gas monitoring was required at Landfill 5 when he and I met on -site a few
weeks ago."
On April 24, 2000 The Fletcher Group conducted landfill gas screening of cap penetrations on Landfill 513 using an Lower
Explosive Limit (LEL) meter calibrated to methane. One reading of methane was detected at 31% of the LEL near the
Landfill 513 main gate, all other readings were 0 — 0.1%. These results are attached.
In August 2001 the Town of Canton became interested in utilizing Landfill 56 for a sports complex.
Stu Ryman sent Tom Richardson (successor to Tom Ross with International Paper Company) an email dated October 23,
2001 and stated that he informed the Town of Canton that "gas may exist and should be considered in their design."
The Town of Canton hired Bunnell-Lammons Engineering (BLE), Inc. to conduct a more detailed landfill gas investigation
prior to site redevelopment. The investigation found 0 — 0.1% readings of methane at three out of four sampling
locations and 0% methane reading at the other sampling location. The BLE report is attached.
During the file review it was determined from historical photographs that that the Neo Corporation building adjacent to
Landfill 513 is not located on landfill waste. A copy of this photograph is attached.
I have also attached the Landfill 5 figure for your reference.
Since then, it appears that no other landfill gas investigation or correspondence has been conducted. International
Paper is willing to cooperate on this matter and would like to move forward with complying with the post -closure permit
if ongoing landfill gas monitoring is determined to be compulsory. If necessary, International Paper would be willing to

participate in a meeting with the Solid Waste Section to work out a plan to provide you with adequate information to
enable you to officially approve post closure uses, including the enclosed (but not permanently occupied) structures.
Additionally, an investigation plan for a proposed livestock market facility has been submitted to Mr. Gaither today.
This plan proposes a landfill gas investigation at Landfill 5C. We would like for the Solid Waste Section to consider the
proposed landfill gas investigation at Landfill 5C before making a decision to require ongoing landfill gas monitoring.
Lastly, the phone number recorded on the audit report for Tom Richardson should be changed to [phone]; the
number shown is now obsolete. On behalf of International Paper Company, we appreciate your consideration.

Andrea,
I received your phone call yesterday, but was in the field all day. I found one landfill gas evaluation performed on
Landfill 5B in 2002 at the request of the Town of Canton, prior to the baseball field development, where methane was
not detected above 25% of the LEL (5% methane). 1 am still looking in our archive files for more information. I will
forward you all appropriate documents once I have completed the search and informed our client of the documents we
plan to send you.

Anna,
Please forward the attached PDF of the audit report to Joel, and along to Mr. Richardson if you choose. His copy will be
physically mailed from our office as well.
I left a message for you regarding whether or not you had any success in finding documentation of the site activities, but
didn't hear back from you so I completed the audit report based on a search of our physical files at the Asheville
Regional Office ( I was unable to find the documents I've requested in the audit). Please note that although the audit
requests more information from Champion on certain topics it does not necessarily mean that the end result would be
in a Notice of Violation (for example, the dialogue on the hayfields).
Please call if you have any questions regarding the audit.
