ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
On July 13, 2021, Chuck Kirchner with the Solid Waste Section met with Lewis Walker of the City of Greensboro Solid Waste Department to conduct a partial inspection of the White Street MSW landfill.
Facility Information: 1. The City of Greensboro operates a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill (Phase III, 41-12). The property also contains a large type I solid waste compost (SWC) facility (41-03), a construction and demolition debris (C&D) atop a closed MSW landfill (Phase II, 41-03) adjacent to a closed unlined MSW landfill (Phase I), and a temporary disaster debris staging site (TDDSS, DS41-002). 2. The facility is open Monday through Friday 7:50 am to 4:50 pm and Saturday 7:00 am to 1:00 pm. 3. The facility is permitted to receive solid waste generated within the City of Greensboro and Guilford County. 4. The MSW landfill is permitted to operate Phase III, Cells 1, 2 and 3. 5. The facility does not accept scrap tires or white goods. 6. The MSW landfill Cells 1 and 2 contain intermediate soil cover and have a good grass cover.
7. Waste is currently being placed in Cell 3. Facility Inspection: 8. Leachate from Phase III Cells 1, 2, and 3 drain into a leachate manhole before being routed to the leachate storage tanks. During the inspection, the leachate manhole was observed and appears in good condition. 9. The facility has two 350,000-gallon leachate storage tanks with a secondary containment wall. Leachate is generally maintained in tank A. During the inspection, the leachate level in Tank A was 16.0 feet and Tank B was 4.0 feet. The leachate tanks were observed to be in good condition. Tank A is used primarily for leachate collection and is pumped down once the tank reaches approximately 18-19 feet. According to facility staff the tanks will also be pumped down in anticipation of a large storm event. The leachate tanks are connected by spillover pipe and can be pumped from one to the other. 10. The leachate storage tanks are connected to the City of Greensboro sanitary sewer which flows to the TZ Osborne wastewater treatment plant. 11.
