RE: Ground -Water Monitoring System Design Options.
Dear Mr. Abernathy:
Ronald H. Levine, M.D., M.P.H.
State Health Director
Per our earlier telephone conversation on 1/23/89, and, as referenced in the
3/31/87 letter from this office, 10 NCAC 10G, Section .0601 allows this agency to
require a facility to provide such G.W. monitoring capability as the Division
determines to be necessary. Your are therefore required to submit the following
by 6/30/89, and, select one of the two options listed on the following page.
I. Map (preferably 8 1/2" X 11") delineating the entire landfill and
adjacent property owned (or leased) by you. This map should also
clearly show the location of the landfill with respect to the entire
property.
2. A specific map of the landfill itself illustrating the
shape/configuration of the landfill per the original permit description.
This map must show the proposed monitoring well locations.
Additionally, each well must be numbered on the map (e.g. MW-1; MW-2
etc...). Note: These wells must also be permanently numbered in a
corresponding fashion in the field.
3. Designate in writing to this office an annual sampling date that you
will use to contract out, and subsequently perform, annual ground -water
monitoring extraction.
4. Submit within 15 days upon well installation, a complete and accurate
well completion report (DHS 3342) for all ground -water monitoring wells
around the landfill. These records will clearly identify the following:
- Well construction specifications pertaining to inner/outer casing
diameter.
- Borehole Depth
- 24-hour water table elevations
- Screen length
- Screen slot size
- Vertical extent of screen (e.g. where the screen is placed in the
aquifer).

Mr. Chuck Abernathy
January 23, 1989
Page 2
- All other data required on well construction forms as specified in
the "N.C. Water Quality Monitoring Guidance Document for Solid
Waste Facilities".
This office in recognizing the current capabilities of the regulated
community (e.g., McDowell County Landfill) may choose one of two options in
designing, and subsequently implementing, an acceptable ground -water monitoring
system.
Option #One
Install one upgradient and three downgradient monitoring wells at
locations which based upon topography, are believed to represent suitable
well locations. The screened interval in this case will be 10' screens placed
12' into the surficial saturated zone.
Option #Two
Compile a boring plan for the site and submit it to this office for
approval, designate well locations, and install the wells (following
approval); and set the screens into the part of the aquifer which denotes
maximum conductivity. The following two paragraphs clearly outline the
details regarding Option #Two.
In order to determine the vertical placement of the screened interval, basic
hydrogeologic data must be obtained prior to screen placement. Specifically,
aquifer thickness, determination of the most conductive unit(s), and flow
direction of the surficial aquifer. These basic hydrogeologic characteristics
must be ascertained in order to justify the vertical placement of the screens.
Proper screen placement is essential to proper well installation, and more
importantly, to proper contaminant detection.
The thickness of the surficial aquifer and the determination of where the most
conductive unit(s) are located will determine where the screens are to be set.
Dependant upon this outcome, well nests rather than singular wells may be
necessary. I highly recommend that a hydrogeologist determine this for you based
upon an initial exploratory boring program. After this baseline data is
available, the well depths can be easily determined, and subsequently, installed
in a second drilling episode.
This office highly recommends that Option #Two be employed whereas this
option adequately addresses all State (and forthcoming EPA Subtitle "D")
regulations. If Option #Two is selected, no retrofitting of the G.W. Monitoring
Program will be required for the existing landfill (excluding a future expansion
of the facility).
Option #One, on the other hand, may invariably be inadequate to accommodate
short-term future monitoring requirements. Therefore, retrofitting of the site to
include additional borings and well installation may be required.

Subject: Disposal of 1,000 pounds/month of aluminum shot blast dust in the
McDowell County Landfill (Permit #56-01)
Dear Mr. Hussey:
General Statute 130A-294 authorizes the Solid Waste Management Section to
regulate solid waste management in North Carolina. It, therefore, gives authority
to the Section to evaluate wastes that may pose a threat to the environment or to
public health and to subsequently prohibit disposal of these wastes at a sanitary
landfill in accordance with Sections .0103(d) anC (e) of the Solid Waste
Management Rules, 10 N.C.A.C. 10G.
Your recent request for disposal of the subject waste has been critically
reviewed and evaluated by section personnel. It is concluded that the waste is
not suitable for sanitary landfill disposal because of extractable cadmium
exceeding the 0.10 ppm limit allowed for landfill disposal. For this reason, your
request is denied. It is recommended that the waste be disposed in an industrial
waste landfill or a hazardous waste landfill.
If you have any further questions, please contact this office at (919)

Re: Installment of Ground -water Monitoring Wells at the McDowell
County Landfill (Permit #56-01)
Dear: Mr. Abernathy,
As referenced in the letters from this office dated March 31,
1987 and September 21, 1987, solid waste facilities are required to
construct ground -water monitoring wells and implement a ground and
surface water monitoring program by June 30, 1989. The ground -water
monitoring system should be constructed and implemented in a manner
consistent with the specifications of the "North Carolina Water
Quality Monitoring Guidance Document for Solid Waste Facilities".
Accompanying your proposal for an amendment to the existing
sanitary landfill permit for vertical expansion, was a map showing
proposed monitoring well locations. In order that you may comply
with the June 30, 1989, deadline for establishing a ground -water
monitoring system, our office is tentatively approving the proposed
well locations with the following conditions:
1. A copy of the map showing well locations should be
resubmitted designating each well with a number (e.g. MW-1; MW-2;
etc...). Note: Upon construction, these wells must also be
permanently marked in the field.
2. Also indicate on the map which wells are "upgradient" and
which are "downgradient".
3. The screened intervals of the wells shall be established in
the most hydraulically conductive zones.
Within 15 days of the completion of well installation, a
complete and accurate Well Completion Record (DHS 3342) should be
submitted to this office for all ground -water monitoring wells.
These records should clearly indicate the following:

Page 2
Well construction specifications pertaini.ng to inner/outer
casing diameter
- Borehole depth
- 24-hour water table elevations
- Screen length
- Screen slot size
- Vertical extent of screen (e.g. where the screen is placed
in the aquifer).
- All other data required on well construction forms as
specified in the "N.C. Water Quality Monitoring Guidance
Document for Solid Waste Facilities".
In.addition, please submit to us a summary of the hydro -
geological data accumulated for the landfill site from the boring
operation. Include boring logs and other pertinent subsurface
information. Also, within 15 days of well installation, designate in
writing to this office the name of the contractor you have chosen to
perform your annual ground and surface water monitoring extractions,
and the date on which you plan to perform your annual sampling.
If you have further questions or comments please contact this
office at [phone].

Dear Mr. Setzer,
I appreciate your taking the time to discuss the various problems with
McDowell County's last landfill inspection. These discussions assist
me in understanding the nature and extent of any problems that arise.
I discussed with Paul the problems that you noted. In particular, the
erosion that has occurred in several areas of the ZandfiLl is already
being repaired.
Paul did state that the excessive rainfall that we have experienced
recently has made it difficult to repair these areas. Also we have
had several pieces of equipment that have been under repair for the
past several weeks. Paul has assured me that within the constraints
posed by the weather he will correct the erosion that has occurred.
Owen, I appreciate your time on these matters and I Zook forward to
having these problems corrected.
Most Sincerely,
CharZes R. Abernathy

Subject: Disposal of 30-35 Dump Truck Loads/year (deliveries to be
coordinated with landfill) of Wood Fired Boiler Ash at the
McDowell County Landfill, (Permit #56-01).
Dear Mr. Harris:
The Solid Waste Management Division has received a request for
characterization of the subject waste. Based upon the submitted
information, the waste appears to be non -hazardous. The Solid Waste
Management Division has no objection to the sanitary landfill
disposal of this waste, if in accordance with the conditions listed
below:
1. The owner/operator of the landfill approves the disposal.
2. The waste contains no free liquids, however, there shall be
sufficient moisture to prevent dust from physical handling.
3. The waste shall be disposed within the 6 inch soil daily
cover at the top of the working area.
4. Additionally, a submittal of the Waste Determination Form
and supportive analytical data, is required on the second
anniversary of this approval.
Failure to meet these conditions may result in revocation of
this approval, and subsequently, an administrative penalty. The
approval is subject to change if new regulations were to prohibit
this practice. If the process which generates the waste changes or
if the composition of the waste changes significantly, this approval
is void and re-evaluation of the waste will be required prior to
subsequent disposal.

primarily, but not exclusively, industrial and commercial wastes and
sludges, and Publicly Owned Treatment Works Sludges.
The Division of Health Services reserves the right to request
additional information or waive some of the requirements based on the
type of waste if it deems necessary. The Division may also require
some wastes to be treated or altered to render the wastes
environmentally immobile prior to disposal at a sanitary landfill.
.Wastes disposed at sanitary landfills must be non -liquid and in a
<.:form that can be confined, compacted, and covered in accordance with
the "Solid Waste Management Rule". APPROVAL TO DISPOSE OF THE WASTE
;_._SHALL ALSO BE OBTAINED FROM THE OWNER OR OPERATOR OF THE LANDFILL

Re: Documentation for Ground -water Monitoring Wells at the McDowell
County Sanitary Landfill (Permit #56-01)
Dear Mr. Abernathy,
Upon a recent review of our files, our office found that we do
not have sufficient documentation on the ground -water monitoring
wells at the McDowell County landfill facility. Although our office
recently received a map showing the monitoring well locations, we
still have not received any documentation for the construction of
these wells. Within the next 30 days would you please provide our
office with the following information:
Complete and accurate Well Completion Records (DHS 3342) for
all ground -water monitoring wells. These records should
clearly indicate the following:
1. Well construction specifications pertaining to
inner/outer casing diameter
2. Borehole depth
3. 24-hour water table elevations
4. Screen length
5. Screen slot size
6. Vertical extent of screen (e.g. where the screen is
placed in the aquifer).
7. Which wells are "upgradient" and which wells are
"downgradient".
8. All other data required on well construction forms as
specified in the "N.C. Water rnialir.> Mom,;

Page 2
In addition, please submit to us a summary of the hydro -
geological data accumulated for the landfill site from the boring
operations. Include boring logs and other pertinent subsurface
information. Also, designate in writing to this office the name of
the contractor you have chosen to perform your annual ground and
surface water monitoring extractions, and the date on which you plan
to perform your annual sampling.

Dear Mr. Setzer:
I want to thank you for appearing before the Board of Commissioners to discuss
the new landfill regulations that are now in effect. The presentation was informative
and served to highlight the seriousness of the landfill problem that McDowell
County will face in the immediate future.
Also, as you know, the Commissioners changed the closing time of the landfill
from 5:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. This change should better enable us to meet the
requirement for daily cover.
Thank you again for the time that you took to meet with the Commissioners.
If I can be of any service to you please do not hesitate to call.

Dear Mr. Jensen:
The proposed revisions to the construction plans to allow
vertical expansion of the referenced landfill have been approved in
accordance'with G.S. 130A-294.
Since the Solid Waste Section received only two copies of the
revised plans, please ensure that the appropriate county personnel
receive a copy of the approved plans.
In addition, all sedimentation/erosion control activities must
be conducted in accordance with the Sedimentation Control Act (15NCAC
4). The Regional office of the Land Quality Section should be
contacted prior to commencement of land -disturbing activities.
Also, a closure and Post -closure plan will be required at least
90 days prior to final closure. Final cover will be evaluated based
upon performance and upgraded if necessary.
