Re: Review Of Ground Water Monitoring Program At The Henderson County Sanitary Landfill (Permit #45-01) Dear Mr. Thompson, This past November Larry Rose of the Solid Waste Section made a site visit to the Henderson County Landfill in order to inspect the ground -water monitoring wells, split ground and surface water samples with PACE, Inc., and take some soil samples from an area where ground water had been seeping from a road cut. This letter is to report our evaluation of the monitoring program at the Henderson County Landfill based on the field observations and a review of the data from the sampling event. The sample results did not indicate any significant violations of State Groundwater Standards. Iron and Manganese were reported at some sampling locations at levels that exceed the water quality standards. However, since these are secondary drinking water standards that relate to taste, odor, and staining rather than to increased health risks, these elevated levels do not appear to pose any threat to the public health or the environment. The slightly elevated levels of some inorganic parameters and trace amounts of some organic constituents do indicate some degradation of water quality. Based on existing data, there are no violations of ground water quality standards that would mandate further investigation. The soil samples from the road cut where some ground water seepage has occurred do not indicate the presence of ground water contamination. The constituents reported are present at levels that fall within the normal range for sediments in this geologic environment. After the field inspection of the monitoring system, more serious questions were raised regarding the adequacy of the present monitoring wells to effectively monitor the effect of the landfilling activities on the ground water of the area. There are significant problems with the location, depth, and design of the existing P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Telephone 919-733-4984 Fax # 919-733-0513 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Page 2 monitoring wells. The wells are located too far away from the waste boundary and are installed too deep to be effective in monitoring the impact of the landfill on the uppermost aquifer. Also, there are some problems with the design and construction of the wells. For example, the annular space around each well is not grouted to the ground surface. Henderson County should obtain a consultant to evaluate the existing monitoring system and propose an upgraded monitoring system that will effectively monitor the impact of the landfilling activity on the uppermost aquifer in the area. It is also important that the monitoring wells conform to the North Carolina Well Construction Standards (15A NCAC 2C). If the facility will still be in operation on October 9, 1993, there are additional requirements that will be necessary to .fulfill new State and Federal rules resulting from the RCRA Subtitle D regulations. The County or its consultant should contact the Solid Waste Section for technical assistance in determining what is necessary for the upgraded ground -water monitoring system. Within the next few months a monitoring plan should be submitted to the Section for our approval, and then the approved new wells should be installed. We appreciate Henderson County's interest in the water quality monitoring program at the landfill. Thank you for your cooperation in improving the monitoring system in order to provide effective protection of public health and the environment.

The contamination leaving the site was at an acceptable level based on recent stream samples. We will continue to monitor the water quality in this area. Please be aware that further violations may result in enforcement actions. As you know, the upper pond at the landfill provides a less than ideal method of controlling sediment. The upper pond is of concern due to the tributary running through the pond. Given the problems with the design of the sediment ponds, it is recommended that the County make improvements to the design and operation of the ponds to prevent further water quality violations. We would like to receive a copy of the planed improvements and an opportunity to provide comments prior to construction or implementation of the improvements. Your cooperation in dealing with the sedimentation ponds in the past and in the future is greatly appreciated by this Division. If you have any questions concerning this matter, or would like to discuss plans for improvement, do not hesitate to contact the Division of Environmental Management, Water Quality Section, the Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section, or the Division of Solid Waste Management, Solid Waste Section at the phone number and address listed below.

It is our intention to continue operating this landfill past October 9, 1993 in accordance with applicable State, Federal, and County rules and regulations. We have requested our consultant William G. Lapsley and Associates, P.A. to develop a proposal for the preparation of the Transition Plan. It is our understanding the Transition Plan is due by April 9, 1994. At this time a specific closure date for the landfill has not been established. Henderson County is in the process of siting a new landfill and we do plan to close the Stoney Mountain Road Landfill on or before the required January 1, 1998 closure date. At this time with the current solid waste load and operating conditions we should be able to remain in the current site until at least mid to late 1996. As you are aware conditions in the solid waste industry are constantly changing and the 1996 expected closure date could be extended. We intend to try and pin point a more exact closure date with the development of the Transition Plan. We hope this information is sufficient as requested by Mr. Patterson. It should be noted that your staff has not responded to our request to utilize an alternative daily cover and return to the 1982 approved fill contours allowing filling of the air space above our recycling center. It is our intention to proceed with this plan of action unless directed otherwise.

This service consists of utilizing the ABB Sanitec Microwave Disinfection System to shred and disinfect medical waste into a safe confetti -like material ready for landfill disposal. As we have discussed, we are seeking your approval to dispose of the treated waste in the Henderson County Landfill. The microwave process has been examined carefully by the State of North Carolina and has recently been written into the North Carolina Administrative Code as an acceptable treatment technology. Attached is a letter from the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources that explains those rules. Recently, we signed a contract with Memorial Mission Hospital in Asheville and the Buncombe County Landfill has confirmed that they will accept the treated waste. Enclosed is some information about our treatment process for your review. We look forward to the opportunity to bring to Henderson County a progressive and environmentally sound method for dealing with the medical waste problem. Please let us know if it is acceptable to dispose of the treated waste in your landfill, so we can advise the hospitals that are potential users of our service. If you require any other information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. Best regards D. Alex Fairley, Jr. Vice President Enclosures cc: Jim Patterson N.C.

It is our intention to continue operating this landfill past October 9, 1993 in accordance with applicable State, Federal, and County rules and regulations. We have requested our consultant William G. Lapsley and Associates, P.A. to develop a proposal for the preparation of the Transition Plan. It is our understanding the Transition Plan is due by April 9, 1994. At this time a specific closure date for the landfill has not been established. Henderson County is in the process of siting a new landfill and we do plan to close the Stoney Mountain Road Landfill on or before the required January 1, 1998 closure date. At this time with the current solid waste load and operating conditions we should be able to remain in the current site until at least mid to late 1996. As you are aware conditions in the solid waste industry are constantly changing and the 1996 expected closure date could be extended. We intend to try and pin point a more exact closure date with the development of the Transition Plan. We hope this information is sufficient as requested by Mr. Patterson. It should be noted that your staff has not responded to our request to utilize an alternative daily cover and return to the 1982 approved fill contours allowing filling of the air space above our recycling center. It is our intention to proceed with this plan of action unless directed otherwise. Should there be any questions do not hesitate to contact our office at 704-697-4505. Sincerely yours, Eldon T.

On December 16, 1992, a proposed phase I monitoring plan to begin a landfill gas remediation 'plan at the Henderson County Landfill was submitted to your Division with request that it be reviewed and authorization issued to proceed. To date there has been no response to the proposed plan of action by the Division of Solid Waste Management. We have discussed this with Mr. Jim Patterson of your office and advised him of our plans to proceed with the Phase I monitoring. We have recommended to the County that they purchase a landfill gas monitor. It is our understanding that they are proceeding with the acquisition of a monitor. We have received quotes on the installation of landfill gas monitoring probes from one Company and are planning to obtain additional quotes. Once final costs are determined for the monitoring probes, we are recommending that the County proceed with their installation as planned. In addition to the plan submitted December 16, 1992, we are planning to install an additional probe in the ,area of the animal shelter which is experiencing some detection of gas. The site of the animal shelter is such that it maybe above old waste fill areas. Borings into this area are to be conducted to determine the location of waste, if any. The input from your Division on our landfill gas remediation plans is needed: The County feels that they need to proceed with remediation and would like your input prior to installation of the monitoring probes. It is requested that the Division provide comments on the proposed plan of action by March 14, 1993.

THOMPSON COUNTY MANAGER This office is in receipt of your November 2, 1993 letter concerning approval of the Phase I Landfill Gas Remediation Study. However, your approval of plans for construction, we feel, is premature. As you were informed by our consultant Mr. Gary T. Tweed, P.E. on November 16, 1993, the preliminary site plan for a gas collection system and flare station is not the full system design. The County is just now finalizing contractual agreements with Cargan Resources, Inc. and as indicated in their September 29, 1993 letter (copy attached) to Mr. Gary Ahlberg with your Raleigh .office, it is not expected to have the system designs completed, approved, and construction completed before the second quarter of 1994. On November 15. 1993, our staff held a full day meeting with Cargan Resources; Inc. to finalize agreements. It was stated at this meeting that Cargan Resources, Inc. plans to submit final design plans to your office very soon and, assuming approvals come quickly, have the system under construction in January, 1994. It is hoped to have the system completed and remediation underway by the end of April, 1994. This schedule is contingent upon receipt of approvals, air permits, weather, etc. The County is pursuing the installation of this project as quickly as possible. Substantial funds ($12,000 per month for the first five years) are to be expended by the County for the construction and operation of this system. We feel that this landfill gas remediation system could become a model for future projects by other communities and care is being taken to insure the installation of the best system possible.

Dear Mr. Ahlberg: We have concluded the captioned Phase I Program and would like to provide you with a copy of our report and supportive field data. This package of material includes the following: 1. Our engineers report on the program with recommendations for corrective action; 2. A report of two weeks continuous monitoring of the landfill; 3. A report of well monitoring for the months of July and August. September's report will be ready In one week, and results will be forwarded to your office; 4. A permeability report of core samples taken from five perimeter wells, provided by Core Labs; 5. A Landfill Gas generation model projecting emission rates for the next 15 years; 6. A specification sheet on the Landfill Gas testing equipment employed in our program; and, 7. A conceptual plan Indicating three landfill zones requiring active migration control to achieve compliance limits at specific perimeter monitor points. There are several important aspects of our work which I would like to briefly highlight. POST OFFICE BOX 1078 CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA 29020 PHONEIFAX: (803) 432-7501 1. Three areas on the landfill have been identified which exceed the compl,.iance limits of 40 CFR 258.23, of the Federal Code, and 15A NCAC 13B .1626 paragraph (4), of the North Carolina Code, both dealing with Explosive Gases Control. The affected areas include the northern boundary centered on perimeter monitor well MP-5, the northwest perimeter at MP-4, and the area underlying the Animal Shelter at MP-2. 2. The estimiated daily Landfill Gas (LFG) generation rate is 450,000 Standard Cubic Feet (SCF) per day from approximately 770,000 tons of impounded waste. This LFG rate should peak in the year 2000 at 650,000 SCF per day. If another 300,000 tons of waste is added over the next three years, then the LFG rate should peak at 1,000,000 SCF per day by the year 2006. 3. Vacuum pressure tests were used to calculate impoundment permeability at well site LP-6 (3.2*10 to -3 power). This information together with core analysis (enclosed) from 5 monitor wells indicate sufficient permeability to allow for relative ease of gas migration, unless inhibited by surface features or subsurface structures. 4. To affect control of gas migration at the specified zones and to reduce perimeter gas concentrations to compliance limits, protective vacuum barriers under the influence of LFG wells should be installed. Gas production from these wells should equal approximately 60% of the generation rate of the landfill to achieve desired control. The primary means of destroying the gas should be with a flare. Produced liquids should be destroyed by spray injection into the flare shroud. Once control has been established and compliance limits achieved, gas marketing may prove feasible as a means of remediation cost subsidy. 5. The remediation system should initially employ a variable speed electric motor and controls powering a Positive displacement blower with output In the 500 CFM range at 10-12 psig. The gas flare should be sized with turn down capability to accommodate the entire range of blower output. Maximum operating temperature of the flare should be 1850 degrees Fahrenheit, and allow sufficient retention time to achieve 98% destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds. 6. Flared gas should be measured by digital flow meter. Several additional monitor wells should be sited and Installed. All'monitor wells should be tested daily at the commencement of remedial operations until monitor wells are within limits. Thereafter monitor wells should be tested weekly to assure continued compliance. We are concluding our agreements with Henderson County before beginning the actual design and construction of the proposed system. When our fi.;•st draft of plans and specifications is completed, we will provide same to you for comment. We hope to commence remedial operations early In the second quarter of 1994. Should you have any question or comments on our work thus far, or with what has been outlined above, please advise. Very truly yours, `lJ\ 9 -A Samuel Logan, r.

On March 18, 1993, representatives from this Agency investigated potential water quality violations from the Henderson County landfill. Three of the sedimentation/erosion control ponds were inspected, the two lower ponds as you enter the landfill and the upper pond on the far side of the landfill away from DOT'S property. The two lower ponds were full of sediment and were discharging turbid water into the creek. The upper pond's valve at the bottom of the riser was completely open, and discharging turbid water even though this pond still had sediment holding capacity. Water Quality representatives discussed these conditions with the Landfill Supervisor and requested immediate action. Considering the potential water quality problems that were occurring, Land Quality Section and Solid Waste Management Division were notified. Two months later on May 11, 1993, hither investigation revealed that the problem was not corrected and waF-r_ samples were obtained. Samples were obtained on and below tribiitaries that originate at the landfill. The samples taken _indicate se rirn,q water quality violations. The existence of the above described water quality violations, subjects the responsible party to enforcement procedures. Section 143-215.6 of the General Statutes of North Carolina details enforcement procedures which may be implemented. Each day this violation occurs constitutes a separate offense for which penalties up to $10,000.00 per day per water quality standard violation can be assessed.

We are very concerned that you feel that the landfill is in violation and offer the following information: 1. As required by the Division of Solid Waste and the Division of Earth Resources, the sediment control aspects of the landfill require periodic dredging of sediment control basins on the site. These basins were in the process of being cleaned during the visits by your staff. Currently, the basins are being dredged as needed on the order of two to three times per year. Since the basins are impoundments of surface water drainage courses on the site there will be some increase in turbidity during these cleaning activities.

THOMPSON COUNTY MANAGER n,, r� I ti) "lo „r r tr This office is in receipt of your November 2, 1993 letter concerning approval of the Phase I Landfill Gas r;emediation Study. However, your approval of plans for construction, we feel, is premature. As you were informed by our consultant Mr. Gary T. Tweed, P.E. on November 16, 1993, the preliminary site plan for a gas collection system and flare station is not the full system design. The County is just now finalizing contractual agreements with Cargan Resources, Inc. and as indicated in their September 29, 1993 letter (copy attached) to Mr. Gary Ahlberg with your Raleigh office, it is not expected to have the system designs completed, approved, and construction completed before the second quarter of 1994. On November 15, 1993, our staff held a full day meeting with Cargan Resources, Inc. to finalize agreements. It was stated at this meeting that Cargan Resources, Inc. plans to submit final design plans to your office very soon and, assuming approvals come quickly, have the system under construction in January, 1994. It is hoped to have the system completed and remediation underway by the end of April, 1994. This schedule is contingent upon receipt of approvals, air permits, weather, etc. The County is pursuing the installation of this project as quickly as possible. Substantial funds ($12,000 per month for the first five years) are to be expended by the County for the construction and operation of this system. We feel that this landfill gas remediation system could become a model for future projects by other communities and care is being taken to insure the installation of the best system possible. Mr. Jim Patterson November 19, 1993 Page Two It is apparent that your office in Asheville is not receiving copies of submittals and correspondences involving your Raleigh office.

Dear Mr. Ahlberg: We have concluded the captioned Phase I Program and would like to provide you with a copy of our report and supportive field data. This package of material includes the following: I. Our engineers report on the program with recommendations for corrective action; 2. A report of two weeks continuous monitoring of the landfill; 3. A report of well monitoring for the months of July and August. September's report will be ready In one week, and results will be forwarded to your office; 4. A permeability report of core samples taken from five perimeter wells, provided by Core Labs; 5. A Landfill Gas generation model projecting emission rates for the next 15 years; 6'. A specification sheet on the Landfill Gas testing equipment employed in our program; and, 7. A conceptual plan Indicating three landfill zones requiring active migration control to achieve compliance limits at specific perimeter monitor points. There are several important aspects of our work which I would like to briefly highlight. POST OFFICE BOX T078 CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLdNA 2<9020 PHONEIFAX: (303) 432.7501 1. Three areas on the landfill have been identified which exceed the compliance limits of 40 CFR 258.23, of the Federal Code, and 15A NCAC 13B .1626 paragraph (4), of the North Carolina Code, both dealing with Explosive Gases Control. The affected areas include the northern boundary centered on perimeter monitor well MP-5, the northwest perimeter at MP-4, and the area underlying the Animal Shelter at MP-2. 2 The estimated daily Landfill Gas (LFG) generation rate is 450,000 Standard Cubic Feet (SCF) per day from approximately 770,000 tons of impounded waste. This LFG rate should peak in the year 2000 at 630,000 SCF per day. If another 300,000 tons of waste is added over the next three years, then the LFG rate should peak at 1,000,000 SCF per day by the year 2006. 3. Vacuum pressure tests were used to calculate impoundment permeability at well site LP-6 (3.2'r10 to -3 power). This information together with core analysis (enclosed) from 5 monitor wells indicate sufficient permeability to allow for relative ease of gas migration, unless inhibited by surface features or subsurface structures. 4. To affect control of gas migration at the specified zones and to reduce perimeter gas concentrations to compliance limits, protective vacuum barriers under the influence of LFG wells should be installed. Gas production from these wells should equal approximately 60, of the generation rate of the landfill to achieve desired control. The primary means of destroying the gas should be with a flare. Produced liquids should be destroyed by spray injection into the flare shroud. Once control has been established and compliance limits achieved, gas marketing may prove feasible as a means of remediation cost subsidy. 5. The remediation system should initially employ a variable speed electric motor and controls powering a Positive displacement blower with output in the 500 CF1rf range at 10-12 psig. The gas flare should be sized with turn down capability to accommodate the entire range of blower output. Maximum operating temperature of the flare should be 1850 degrees Fahrenheit, and allow sufficient retention time to achieve 98% destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds. 6. Flared gas should be measured by digital flow meter. Several additional monitor wells should be sited and installed. All 'monitor wells should be tested daily at the commencement of remedial operations until monitor wells are within limits. Thereafter monitor wells should be tested weekly to assure continued compliance. We are concluding our agreements with Henderson County before beginning the actual design and construction of the proposed system. When our first draft of plans and specifications is completed, we will provide same to you for comment. We hope to commence remedial operations early In the second quarter of 1994. Should you have any question or comments on our work thus far, or with what has been outlined above, please advise. Very truly yours, Samuel Logan, r.

We have recommended to the County that they purchase a landfill gas monitor. it is our understanding that they are proceeding with the acquisition of a monitor. We have received quotes on the installation of landfill gas monitoring probes from one Company and are planning to obtain additional quotes.. Once final costs are determined for the monitoring probes, we are recommending that the County proceed .with their installation as planned. In addition to the plan submitted December 16, 1992, we are planning to install an additional probe in the•area of the animal shelter which is experiencing some detection of gas. The site of the animal shelter is such that it may be above old waste fill areas. Borings into this area are to be conducted to determine the location of waste, if any. The input from your Division on our landfill gas remediation plans is needed' The County feels that they need to proceed with remediation and would like your input prior to installation of the monitoring probes. It is requested that the Division provide comments on the proposed plan of action by March 14, 1993.

King Street Hendersonville, NC 28739 RE: ' Combustible Gas Monitoring at Henderson Co. Animal Shelter Dear Mr. Thompson: In response to a request by Mr. Eldon Owen, Henderson County Solid Waste Director, I conducted combustible gas monitoring inside the Henderson County Animal Shelter (located on property at the Henderson County Landfill location) on the afternoon of February 11, 1993. No combustible gases were detected in any of the rooms of the shelter "proper," but combustible gas was detected at levels up to 40 % lower explosive limits in the two rooms on either side of the main lobby of the building where the plumbing pipes come through the concrete slab. Readings indicating the presence of combustible gases were obtained only when the monitoring probe was placed directly on the pipes. Additional monitoring should be continued at the Animal Shelter on a regular basis and efforts should be taken to ensure that the building is well ventilated for employee safety. Remediation of any combustible gas problems will be based on an assessment derived from the monitoring data obtained at this location. Please call should you have any questions. Sincerely, James E.

Dear Mr. Ahlberg: Enclosed please find a copy of the Phase I Landfill Gas Investigation of the Henderson County ..Stoney Mountain Road Landfill to be conducted by Cargan Resources, Inc:It is anticipated that Cargan Resources will soon be installing the landfill gas monitoringwell probes and begin the Phase I monitoring. This plan of action has been developed over the past few months and expanded to cover a much larger` area of the landfill than originally anticipated. Subsequent investigations of the landfill migration indicated that landfill gas movement at the site is over a larger area than indicated by the vegetation damage .on the northeast portion of the site. The planned investigation is to take in the northern side of the landfill from the animal shelter to beyond the upper zone where original migration was detected. Cargan Resources, Inc. will conduct the investigation under review of this firm 'and develop the Phase II remediation plan of action. It is felt that the Phase I remediation monitoring will be completed by the end of June, 1993, with a final report to be completed by August, 1993. It is felt that with concurrence of your office that a Phase II remediation plan can be developed and in place by early 1994. It is requested that you review the planned Phase I ,landfill gas investigation plan.
