Ronald H. Levine, M.D.
Acting Director
On September 16, 1981, and November 5, 1981, I inspected the McDowell
County Landfill, Marion, NC. This letter is to notify you that the follow—
ing violations of the North Carolina "Solid Waste Management Rules" were
recorded on these two consecutive inspections:
1 Failure to install required monitoring wells
DHS Rule .115(1)
2) Failure to divert surface water from the operational area
DHS Rule .115(12)
Violation Ile should be corrected by December 15, 1981. Violation Ill
should be corrected by January 15, 1982. At the end of the period allowed
for correction, the site will be reinspected and any remaining or new
violations shall be noted.
Any violations of the "Solid Waste Management Rules" are subject to
administrative penalties or injunctive action pursuant to G.S. 130-166.21E.
If I or this office can be of any service, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Ap

Dear Mx. Moore:
Thank you for your letter advising of two violations of the N.C. "Solid
Waste Management Rules".
'Violation # 2 has been discussed with our Landfill Supervisor and immediate
steps will be taken to divert water from, the operational area. -.
As I discussed with you on your recent visit our current financial situation
prevents us from drilling the monitoring wells at this time. It is our desire
to comply with all recommendations of your office, as well as the Raleigh office.
;in the budget adopted July 1, 1981, sufficient funds were appropriated to drill
thw two veils. Unexpected and unanticipated equipment repairs have eaten away
at our landfill budget. I presently have one piece of equipment down and cannot
repair due to budget limitations. Fortunately, we can satisfactorily operate
without this piece of equipment, although it would be desirable.
It is my understanding that monitoring wells are being required on New and
2j anded landfills. I question that our landfill falls into either of these
categories. It definitely is not a new landfill and we are operating in the same
area that we have operated in for the past 10 years.
We did as you know, formulate plans for continued operation in the area,
but did not expand the area of operation. I would appreciate your interpretation.
I assure you of our continued cooperation.
ruly,
:ark H. Harmon
County Manager
