Re: Status of the Alterative Cap Equivalency Demonstration, Henderson
County MSWLF, Permit Number 45-01 and the Permit Application for a
CDLF.
Dear Mr Tweed:
This letter is in response to your letter dated December 6, 1999, regarding
the status of the alternative cap equivalency demonstration and the permit
application for a construction/demolition landfill(CDLF).
This letter serves as written approval by the Solid Waste Section(Section)
of the alternative cap equivalency demonstration for the Henderson County
municipal solid waste landfill(MSWLF), Permit Number 45-01. The alternative cap
system installed on the referenced landfill meets the closure criteria for MSWLFs
in accordance with Rule .1627(c)(2). The formal closure letter for the referenced
facility is being prepared by Tim Jewett, Western Area Engineer.
As we discussed in the meeting on October 4, 1999, the Section has serious
concerns regarding the suitability of the proposed site for a construction/demolition
landfill. A preliminary review by Ellen Lorscheider, Permitting Hydrogeologist,
suggests that the required four -foot separation of solid waste from seasonal high
water table and bedrock does not exist under current conditions. The permitting
process for "sanitary landfills" allows the Section to determine site suitability
based on the site's natural ability to dilute and attenuate leachate if the proposed
landfill design does not include engineered devices. The ability of the proposed site
to naturally attenuate and dilute leachate is questionable based on the current level
of site characterization.
I suggest that your consultant contact Ellen Lorscheider @ [phone],
extension 345 to discuss these issues in greater detail.

Revised C&D Grading Plan
Henderson County MSW Landfill
Dear Mr. Coffey:
A�
OCT 1999
b,'i Si ii(
On October 4, 1999, a meeting was held at the Solid Waste Section office between yourself,
members of your staff, and Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM). The purpose of this meeting
was to discuss siting issues regarding the proposed Henderson County C&D Landfill.
During the course of this meeting, you suggested evaluating an expansion of the permitted
C&D disposal area located over the closed MSW unit. This would provide a means of
extending Henderson County's C&D disposal capacity while your section continues the
Site Application review for the proposed new facility.
Based on the above referenced conversation, CDM has revised the grading plan (Sheet C-2)
of the "Application for Construction and Demolition Debris Disposal Facility on Top of Closed
Henderson County MSW Landfill". This revision represents an increase in the size of the
original 1.9± acre footprint to a footprint size of 4.5± acres. This increase in footprint size
equates to an additional 7000± tons of capacity which would extend the life of the facility
by about one year (based on a 3:1 horizontal to vertical slope).
The intent of this letter and enclosed five copies of the revised Sheet C-2 is to obtain a
revision to the existing C&D disposal permit. This permit revision is essential to keeping
C&D disposal as a revenue source. These revenues are used to help maintain the County's
waste management program's job base.
Please confirm in writing that the County can expand their C&D operation as soon as
possible. The currently permitted 1.9± acre footprint is almost at capacity.

WILLIAML. MEYER
DIRECTOR Dear Mr. Brinker,
The Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section, is in receipt of
your letter of 13 January 1999. This letter requested that NCMGP be allowed to
hookup five existing wells to the current landfill gas system with above ground
piping, on a temporary basis. The temporary hookup will be used while issues
brought about by the Section's previous letter to the county are being resolved.
The Section approves the hookup of the five wells on a temporary basis. A
response to the Sections review letter should be prepared as quickly as possible. No
further activities which disturb the closure cap system are allowed. Activities which
do not disturb the integrity of the landfill cap are not restricted.
If there are any further questions, please contact the Western Area Engineer,
Tim Jewett. He may be reached at 336-771-4600.

SECRETARY - Mr. Tweed:
The Solid Waste Section (Section) has received your response letter dated 5
WILLIAM L. MEYER November 1998 regarding Section comments on the above referenced project. After
DIRECTOR - reviewing the letter and comparing the information to Division files and previous
documents submitted by Mr. Bill Brinker of NC Municipal Gas, Inc., the Section has
the following comments:
1) Identify new wells and pipe layout. Well identification numbers and
connections are unclear from the drawings provided. The drawing provided
by NC Municipal Landfill Gas and drawing 1 of 3 made by Lapsley &
Associates have conflicting contour and facility information. Correct and
update the information on all appropriate documents.
2) The piping plan is unclear. Show existing and expected gas piping diameters;
condensate piping locations and diameters; condensate sump storage
locations; and connections to local sewer lines for condensate removal or
storage.
3) Address condensate handling in the Operations Plan for the gas system.
4) No typical piping details are shown on the drawings (i.e., pipe fittings, tees,
sumps, condensate connections, etc.).
5) On the appropriate site plan, show the area that was closed using the
Regulatory minimum cap and the area bounded by the alternative cap
demonstration.
6) Provide a CQA plan for the repair of disturbed areas within the Regulatory
minimum cap delineation. The CQA plan should include the spacing,
frequency of tests, and required material characteristics such as permeability,
densities, moisture contents, and percent compaction to show that back filled
areas are equivalent to the in -place cap.

7) Provide a CQA plan for the back fill of disturbed areas within the boundary of the
alternative cap demonstration. The CQA plan should include tests and frequencies
necessary to demonstrate equivalency with the alternative cap.
8) The trench detail provided by Sterns & Conrad, Inc. indicates piping installed 4 inches
below the ground surface. Demonstrate that pipe strength will withstand expected
equipment loads.
Note: The information provided to date in the Permit Application is for below ground pipe
installation. The Section will consider allowing collection pipe installation above
ground. If above ground installation is desired, please revise all applicable plans and
information accordingly including details, gas facility operations plan, and the landfill
operations and maintenance plans. All submittals shall be sealed by a North Carolina
registered Professional Engineer.
The response letter dated 5 November 1998 also states that the landfill gas system will be owned
and operated by NC Municipal Landfill Gas, LLC and that the county would prefer that
permitting be between the State and company. North Carolina Solid Waste Regulations and
North Carolina General Statutes require that all solid waste permits are issued to the landfill
property owners/operators. Also, since post closure care and maintenance factors into the
operation of the landfill gas facility, the permit for this energy system will, if issued, be issued to
Henderson County. An additional comment in the letter indicates that the operation of the gas
extraction system is not required for the containment of landfill gas along the northern property
boundary. Until updated facility plans incorporating additional property are submitted and new
methane monitoring points are established along the revised boundary, the Section still
considers part of the system for methane mitigation purposes.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please call me at [phone], ext. 204, or Bill
Sessoms at [phone], ext. 266.
