Home My WebLink About4503_ROSCANS_1997Narrative Statement FLY ASH LANDFILL CLOSURE PLAN CRANSTON PRINTWORKS Fletcher, Henderson County, North Carolina ol BACKGROUND Cranston Printworks Company, Fletcher Division, operates a manufacturing complex in Fletcher, Henderson County, North Carolina. The site is off US Route 25 (Dixie Highway) as shown on the attached USGS Quadrangle map. The company operated two areas of their property as fly ash land disposal_ sites. Fly Ash Landfill Area 1 has been covered with soil and a vegetative cover established. Fly Ash Landfill Area 2 has not yet been covered. Both areas were unused earthern cells. Fly Ash Landfill Area 1 had been a holding basin. Fly Ash Landfill Area 2 had been two adjacent holding cells. Fly ash was deposited in each of the three earthen basins as fill material. CURRENT CONDITIONS Now -that the -three -basins -have -been -filled, Cranston Printworks intends to formally close -the -areas -in -accordance -- with Section .1700, Requirements for Beneficial Use of Coal Combustion By -Products, Solid Waste Management Rules 15A NCAC 13B, As Amended Through January 1, 1997. Since each area was previously a basin, the general site grading around each fly ash landfill area diverts storm water away from the fly ash areas. Additionally, the general site grading incorporates protective berms along each of the creeks traversing the site. The flood berm along Cane Creek is a minimum of 4 feet in height. The berms along the smaller creeks (Cushion Branch, Branch Creek and the unnamed tributary to Cane Creek) are a minimum of 2 feet in height. PROPOSED CONDITIONS Cranston Printworks intends to close each fly ash landfill area in accordance with the plans prepared by Piedmont Olsen Hensley, A Geraghty & Miller Company, dated October 1997. Borrow will be taken from the embankment area previously used as a bed for a railroad spur off of the Southern Railroad line which nuns along US Route 25. No field survey was completed in the embankment area. The location and type of erosion control practice to be installed will be field determined. It is not anticipated that more than 1 acre of land will be disturbed during the borrow operations. Fly Ash Landfill Area 1 has been covered and a vegetative cover established. A minimum of 6 test bores will be made to ensure that the installed cover meets the listed requirements. Any test bores which fail to meet the requirements will be remediated by installing additional compacted earth cover. The total area of Fly Ash Landfill Area 1 is approximately 0.52 acres. It is assumed that any remediation will involve a minimal acreage. Fly Ash Landfill Area 2 is not yet covered. Compacted earth cover will be added as indicated on the plans. Even though all adjacent creeks are protected by existing berms and existing vegetative cover strips, silt fencing will also be installed as shown on the plans. A field determination will be made as to whether or not any additional silt fencing not already shown on the plans or any silt traps are needed. The total area of Fly Ash Landfill Area 2 is approximately 1.59 acres. Including land disturbance activity on adjacent transition areas raises the total disturbed area acreage to approximately 1.75 acres. The total land disturbing activities associated with this project will be approximately 2.75 acres. A WGERAGHTY AV& MILLER, INC.
