1.0 OVERVIEW
This Construction Quality Assurance (CQA1 Report has been prepared to document the CQA
activities performed during the construction of Phase 6A of the Johnston County municipal solid
waste (MSW) landfill. The landfill facility is located on County Home Road near Smithfield,
North Carolina and is owned and operated by Johnston County under State Solid Waste Permit
No. 51-03. A Permit to Construct for Phase 6A was issued by the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality Division of Waste Management (NCDWM) on May 8, 2020.
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 General
Phase 6A is a 12.2 acre (lined) Subtitle D landfill unit designed by Smith Gardner, Inc.
(S+G). The components of the constructed alternative liner system include the following
components (top -down):
• a leachate collection system (LCS1 consisting of:
0 24 inches of protective cover (soil);
o a drainage geocomposite; and
o a system of collection pipes and gravel columns.
a 60 mil textured HDPE geomembrane liner;
a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL1; and
• an 18-inch thick soil liner with a hydraulic conductivity of no more than 1 x 10-5
cm/sec.
Leachate generated from Phase 6A will be collected in a sump at the north end of the
unit. From the sump, the leachate will be pumped via side -wall riser pumps and force
main to an existing gravity main which drains to the on -site leachate storage lagoon.
In addition to the liner and leachate management systems, the Phase 6A design also
includes associated perimeter berms and erosion and sedimentation control measures.
Also, part of the construction included the installation of geosynthetic rain cover over the
protective cover in order to provide stormwater/leachate separation and, thus, reduce
the quantity of leachate generated during initial operations.

3.0 SUMMARY OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
Major elements of the project are discussed below. Photos documenting the construction of
Phase 6A can be found in Appendix C. Prior to Shamrock beginning work, a project Pre -
Construction Meeting was held on May 22, 2020.
3.1 Site Prenaration
Construction of Phase 6A began in June 2020 with the surveying/staking of the limits of
construction and the initiation of site preparation activities by Shamrock. During site
clearing, several wells and piezometers were abandoned (Appendix D).
3.2 Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures
The construction of erosion and sedimentation control measures took place in
conjunction with project activities and under the site permits issued by the Land Quality
Section of the NC Division of Land Resources. Permanent drainage channels, culverts,
etc. were added as areas were brought to grade. Once areas reached final grade, the
areas were vegetated in accordance with project requirements.
3.3 Earthwork
Once portions of the site were cleared and grubbed, excavation and stockpiling activities
were performed. Excavated materials including stripped topsoil, unsuitable soils, and
structural fill were identified and separated. Topsoil and unsuitable soils were taken to
the stockpile area within Borrow Area D for future use by Shamrock or as daily or
intermediate cover by the County. The soils within the Phase 6A footprint identified for
use as structural fill were excavated and placed and compacted where needed. As
anticipated, during excavation activities, several areas required overexcavation and
backfill due to the presence of unsuitable materials.
During construction of the subgrade, continued seepage was observed along and near
the eastern slope in the southern half of Phase 6A due to significant precipitation during
the initial months of construction. Because of this, a French drain was added (Reference
Section 2.3 (Design Modification No. 1) and Appendix B). The French drain was
constructed using perforated corrugated polyethylene pipe encased in No. 57 stone,
which was wrapped in a Type GT-S geotextile. Upon construction, the top of the drain
(top of stone) was surveyed to verify that a minimum separation of 4 feet was maintained
to subgrade elevations (record information on the French drain is provided in Appendix
N.).

September 2021 Page 5

,7190436A-6:25782A/,)A.!++,,-$-A&-& A#! 'A"' -#A$ #(-+(""%"
Upon completion of the Phase 6A subgrade and in accordance with the permit, Ms. Joan
Smyth, P.G. visited and examined the site to identify any subgrade conditions that may
adverselyaffect the design, construction, or operation of the unit. As documented in Ms.
Smyth's report (Appendix D) no adverse conditions were observed.
A record drawing showing completed subgrade elevations is provided in Appendix N.
3.4 Soil Liner
Prior to the construction of the soil liner, a soil liner CQA meeting was held in
accordance with the requirements of the project CQA manual. A summary of this
meeting can be found in Appendix E.
Prior to construction of the soil liner, a test fill (pad) was constructed on November 23rd
and 241h, 2020 (Lifts 1 & 2) and December 2rd, 2020 (Lift 3) near the south end of Phase
6A. The test fill was constructed using the procedure described below and tested in
accordance with the project specifications and CQA manual. All tests on the test fill met
or exceeded project requirements. Once the test results for the test fill were obtained,
construction of the soil liner was initiated.
For the placement and compaction of the compacted soil liner, Shamrock used the
following procedure:
1. Shamrock would first excavate the material from the borrow area and
place the material in nominal 10 inch loose lifts.
2. The loose material was then processed using tracked equipment to break
down clods as needed.
3. Shamrock then used a water tanker to add moisture, as needed, to the
loose lift of soil liner.
4. Next a pad foot compactor was used to compact the liner.
5. Finally, each compacted lift was rolled with a smooth drum roller to seal
the surface against moisture loss and to protect the lift from
precipitation. Prior to the placement of subsequent lifts, the top of each
lift was scarified to allow bonding of the lifts.
A record drawing showing completed soil liner elevations is provided in Appendix N.
3.5 Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL)
Prior to the installation of geosynthetics, a geosynthetics CQA meeting was held in
accordance with the requirements of the project CQA manual. A summary of this
meeting can be found in Appendix E.

September 2021 Page 6

,7190436A-6:25782A/,)A.!++,,-$-A&-& A#! 'A"' -#A$ #(-+(""%"
GCL placement by CCS began on April 7, 2021 at the south end of Phase 6A and
proceeded to the north following the parameters of the project specifications and
standard industry practices.
3.6 60 Mil HOPE Geomembrane
The GCL installation was followed closely by placement of the 60 mil HDPE
geomembrane to minimize the potential for damage to the GCL by hydration. In
accordance with project requirements, textured HDPE geomembrane was placed over
the GCL.
A record drawing showing the orientation of geomembrane panels as well as destructive
sample and repair locations is provided in Appendix N.
3.7 Leachate Collection System/Protective Cover
As the 60 mil HDPE geomembrane installation was proceeding, placement of cushion
(Type GT-C) geotextile (under gravel columns) and drainage geocomposite was begun.
As these materials were placed, the overlying protective cover soil was placed by
Shamrock beginning at the south end of Phase 6A and proceeding to the north. In order
to protect the underlying geosynthetics from damage, trucks operated on at least 3 feet
of material and low ground pressure dozers were used to push out the material. Only
minor wrinkling of the geomembrane was observed during placement (as is typical) and
good contact between the HDPE geomembrane and the underlying GCL was apparent.
Along with placement of protective cover, Shamrock constructed the gravel
columns/pipes across the base of Phase 6A. The gravel columns were covered with
Type GT-S geotextile.
The soils used for protective cover were excavated from Borrow Area D and were silty
sands (SM) and clayey sands (SC). The material was compacted by tracked equipment
during placement and the majority of Phase 6A was covered with geosynthetic rain cover
upon completion of protective cover placement.
3.8 Leachate Pumos and Force Main
During protective cover placement, Shamrock installed the Leachate force main along
the northern perimeter berm.
Once the leachate sump area was completed, the leachate side risers and pumps along
with the associated electrical conduits and equipment were installed and connected with
the Leachate force main. A pump start-up was performed as described in Section 9.5.

2. In 1997, landfill operations began in Phase 5, which was constructed with a Subtitle D liner. Phase
5 was issued permit number 51-02.
3. In 1998, a separate C&D landfill cell began operating on top of closed MSW Phase 4. This area
was called C&D Phase 4A at that time, but was later named C&D Area 1.
4. In 2002, permit number 5103 was issued. This permit approved operation of MSW Phase 4A (Cell
1), which is a lined landfill cell between closed MSW Phases 3 and 4. Phase 4A also piggybacks
the side slopes over closed Phases 3 and 4. This permit issuance incorporated previous permits 51-
01 and 51-02 into one permit, now called permit number 51-03.
In 2005, landfill operations began in MSW Phase 4A, Cell 2. A vertical expansion was approved
for C&D disposal in C&D Area 1 on top of closed Phase 4.

6. In 2007, C&D Area 2 was approved and began operating. Part of this area (Cell 1) is adjacent and
east of closed MSW Phase 3, and part of Area 2 (Cell 2) piggybacks the side slope of closed Phase
3. C&D Area 2 is designed with a geomembrane liner and leachate collection system.
7. In 2015, the property boundary was increased to include the yard waste management area and
additional buffer east of C&D Area 2. Property parcels were combined.
8. In 2020, a vertical expansion was approved for Phase 4A, increasing the final elevation of Phase
4A by 13 feet to a final height of 345 msl.

As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and submit an electronic Notice
of Intent (eNOI) form requesting a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under the NCG010000 Construction
General Permit. After the form is reviewed and found to be complete, you will receive a link with payment

Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to insure
compliance with the approved plan.
Title 15A NCAC 413.0118(a) requires that a copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at the job
site. Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to
insure compliance with the approved plan.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Act is performance -oriented, requiring protection of
existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of this project, it is
determined that the erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of the
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statute 113A-51 through 66), this
office may require revisions to the plan and implementation of the revisions to ensure compliance with the
Act.
Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your compliance with Federal and State water
quality laws, regulations, and rules. In addition, local city or county ordinances or rules may also apply to
this land -disturbing activity. This approval does not supersede any other permit or approval.
Please note that this approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided in the Financial
Responsibility Form, which you provided. You are requested to file an amended form if there is any change
in the information included on the form. This permit allows for a land -disturbance, as called for on the
application plan, not to exceed the approved acres. Exceeding the acreage will be a violation of this permit
and would require a revised plan and additional application fee. In addition, it would be helpful if you notify
this office of the proposed starting date for this project. Please notify us if you plan to have a preconstruction
conference.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,

*If Yes, see below.
NOTE: Each modification described herein is a revision of a
previously approved permit and/or design feature.
A French drain network is being added to Phase 6A as shown on the attached Figure 1. It is expected that the layout of the drain will be adjusted as needed including addition of laterals
based on actual field conditions. However, the top of the drains (top of stone for perforated piping/stone) will be a minimum of 4.0 feet below the finished subgrade elevations. The water
collected in the drain will be outleted to the north of Phase 6A into Sediment Basin 3W.
Reason for Modification(s):
To address soft and wet subgrade conditions in the eastern and central portions of Phase 6A which were occurring due to groundwater seepage and significantly above average rainfall.
