Instructions:
Prepare one form for each individually monitored unit.
Please type or print legibly.
Attach a notification table with values that attain or exceed NC 2L groundwater standards or NC 2B surface water standards. The notification
must include a preliminary analysis of the cause and significance of each value. (e.g. naturally occurring, off -site source, pre-existing
condition, etc.).
Attach a notification table of any groundwater or surface water values that equal or exceed the reporting limits.
Attach a notification table of any methane gas values that attain or exceed explosive gas levels. This includes any structures on or nearby the
facility (NCAC 13B .1629 (4)(a)(i).

RE: Burke County, Johns River Landfill
Permit Number 12-03
Second Quarterly Landfill Gas Monitoring Report of 2021
Project No. 2202300.00, Phase: 04
Dear Mark:
LaBella Associates (LaBella) is submitting the attached methane monitoring results for Johns River
Landfill, Permit Number 12-03. The 2021 second quarter landfill gas monitoring event was
performed on May 5, 2021. During this event, gas probes GP-1S, GP-1D, GP-2S, GP-21, GP-2D, GP-4,
GP-5, GP-6, GP-7, and GP-8 were monitored in accordance with the facility's Landfill Gas Monitoring
Plan.
The facility buildings, including the scale house (GMP-1), the shop (GMP-2), the office GMP-3), the
shed (GMP-4), the shooting range (GMP-13), and the Recycling Center (GMP-14) were also monitored
on May 5, 2021, as were ambient air monitoring points GMP-5 through GMP-12. The locations of
the gas probes and monitoring points are depicted in Drawing 1. The monitoring data for the gas
probes and buildings are summarized in the attached Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Forms.
Methane was detected above the lower explosive limit (LEL) in gas probes GP-2S, GP-21, GP-2D,
GP-4, and GP-5. There were no detections or exceedances of methane in the remaining probes,
structures, or monitoring points. Methane detections and exceedances are summarized in Table 1
and Table 2, respectively.
Hydrogen sulfide was detected at 1 ppm in GP-21, GMP-11, and GMP-12; however, there were no LEL
exceedances, nor were there any exceedances of OSHA workplace limits for hydrogen sulfide. OSHA
established an eight -hour permissible exposure limit -time weighted average (PEL-TWA) of 10 ppm
and a 15-minute short-term exposure limit (PEL-STEL) of 15 ppm for exposed workers for hydrogen
sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide detections are summarized in Table 1.
Gas probes GP-2S, GP-21, and GP-2D are a nested set located in close proximity to waste in the old
C&D-over-MSW landfill and are not considered boundary probes. GP-4 is located between the two
landfills and is also not a boundary probe. GP-5 is located northwest of Phase 1A of the C&D
Expansion Landfill and approximately 960 feet from the nearest property boundary. We recommend
monitoring the shed near GP-5 as an additional monitoring point (see Drawing 1), and continuing to
monitor GP-5. If the exceedance at GP-5 persists, we recommend installing a new gas probe
northwest of GP-5, between GP-5 and the nearest property boundary.

We have included a NCDEQ Environmental Monitoring Reporting Form (EMRF) and will forward a
copy of this report to Jaclynne Drummond with the NCDEQ Solid Waste Section. A copy of this report
should be maintained in the facility's records. The next quarterly monitoring event is tentatively
scheduled for the third quarter 2021. If we can provide any additional information please do not
hesitate to call me at [phone].
