RE: Status of Champion International Industrial Landfill, Haywood County,
Permit Number 44-06
Dear Mr. Giauque:
The purpose of this letter is to inform the owner/operator of the referenced facility of their
responsibilities under the recently adopted industrial waste rules.
Rule .0503(d)(iii) of the solid waste management rules codified at 15A NCAC 13B requires that
operators of new industrial waste landfills (ILFs), lateral expansions of existing ILFs, and ILFs
operating on or after January 1,1998, shall submit to the Division a design that satisfies one of
the following criteria:
(A) a design that will ensure that the ground water standards established under 15A
NCAC 21, will not be exceeded in the uppermost aquifer at the compliance boundary
established by the Division in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L. The design shall be
based upon modelling methods acceptable to the Division, which shall include at a
minimum the following factors:
(I) the hydrogeologic characteristics of the facility and surrounding lands;
(11) the climatic factors of the area; and
(III) the volume and physical and chemical characteristics of the leachate, or
(B) a design with a leachate collection system, a closure cap system, and a composite
liner system consisting of two components: the upper component shall consist of a
minimum 30-mil flexible membrane (FML), and the lower components shall consist of at
least a two -foot layer of compacted soil with a hydraulic conductivity of no more than
1x10-' cm/sec. FML, components consisting of high density polyethylene (HDPE) shall
be at least 60-mil thick.
An existing landfill is defined as a landfill that is receiving waste on October 1, 1995, the
effective date of this rule and is not a new landfill. A lateral expansion of an existing landfill is

As stated previously, if a lateral expansion of the existing landfill or a new landfill is proposed,
the submittal' of a complete permit application will be required.
This letter serves as notification to the owner/operator that the information previously
described as necessary to begin a preliminary evaluation of the referenced facility should
be submitted to the Division by July 1,1996.

RE: Preliminary Evaluation, Champion International Industrial Landfill, Haywood County,
Permit Number 44-06
Dear Mr. Giauque:
In accordance with the requirements of Rule .0503(2)(d)(ii), the Solid Waste Section has
completed its preliminary evaluation of the information submitted for the referenced landfill.
Rule .0503(2)(d)(ii) establishes the requirements for the operators of new industrial waste
landfills, lateral expansions of existing landfills, and industrial landfills operating after January 1,
1998. The rule requires the submittal of a design that ensures that the ground water standards
established under 15A NCAC 2L (2L) will not be exceeded in the uppermost aquifer at the
compliance boundary or a design with a leachate collection system, a closure cap system, and a
composite liner system.
Since the referenced landfill is an existing unlined landfill and it is not economically or
technically feasible to retrofit an existing landfill with liners and a leachate collection system, the
Rule effectively requires the operator to submit a closure cap design that ensures compliance
with 2L or close before January 1, 1998.
The Section required the submittal of waste and site characterization, including available
water quality data to assist in a preliminary evaluation of the existing landfill. The purpose of
this submittal was to determine if a final determination of compliance with Rule .0503(2)(d)(ii)
could be made based upon this information. This letter serves as notification that the information
submitted to date does not provide adequate information to make a final determination as to
compliance with that Rule.
In order to meet the requirements of Rule .0503(2)(d)(ii) and to provide adequate landfill
capacity while evaluating the landfill design for compliance with those requirements, the Section
requires the submittal of a landfill design plan including the following:
A construction and operational plan which limits development of the landfill to the lateral
expansion of the waste "footprint" established as of January 1, 1998. The plan shall be
developed in one-year phases and operated in such a manner that the landfill may be
closed at any time.

The capacity of the landfill design plan shall not exceed five (5) years.
A water quality monitoring plan including additional wells located, sampled, and
analyzed in a way that demonstrates compliance with 2L. Please contact Bobby Lutfy of
the Section concerning monitoring and sampling parameters.
A closure plan including a final cap system designed to ensure compliance with 2L as
demonstrated by modelling methodsacceptable to the Section.
The submittal of this information and acknowledgement of receipt by the Section prior to
January 1, 1998, will constitute compliance with Rule .0503(2)(d)(ii). However; this does not
constitute final determination by the Section that the design ensures that the ground water
standards established under 15A NCAC 2L will not be exceeded in the uppermost aquifer at the
compliance boundary. It should be noted that a lateral expansion beyond the 1998 footprint or a
new landfill must meet all the permit requirements of Rules .0503-.0505, including a
demonstration that the proposed design meets the requirements of Rule .0503(2)(d)(ii).
This letter serves as notification to the owner/operator that the information
previously described as necessary to complete the final determination of compliance with
Rule,.0503(2)(d)(ii) shall be submitted to the `Section thirty (30) days prior to January 1,
1998.

RE: Leachate release at Champion International Corporation
No. 6 Landfill (Permit #44-06) on July 14/15, 1996
Dear Mr. Haynes:
Champion International Corporation is providing written notification of an
unknown quantity of leachate released at the Canton Mill's Number 6 Landfill.
The exact start time is unknown, but after 7:00 p.m., July 14, 1996. The release
was discovered and stopped on July 15, 1996, at approximately 7:00 a.m.
The release occurred when the gravity flow 12-inch leachate discharge line from
Area A became plugged. Line pressure blew the cap off a cleanout access port
upstream of the plug, causing the discharge. We are investigating corrective
measures to prevent the recurrence of this situation.
If you have any questions; please call Jim Giauque at [phone].
Sincerely,
