County staff indicated, when asked about any groundwater issues, that levels for 1, 4 dioxane, and previously dichlorobenzene, were elevated, and they were working with Elizabeth Werner, Hydrogeologist with the Section, and had submitted a plan to monitor. Continue to report and follow her guidance. 4. Last inspection, there were problems with some of the MW’s having id’s, lids and locks. Ms. Bader shared some notes for shortly after that inspection showing repairs. MWGP-5 is south of the CDLF working face and closed MSW, on south side of perimeter road, and was one of those. It was checked and it didn’t have a lid this visit either. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the lid had been knocked off recently by bush hogging. A photo was sent via 11/12/2021 of the lid repaired and locked. Later during records reviewing it was discovered this well had very high methane concentrations in recent couple years, and was over the 25% of the LEL for methane. Cumberland County should forward this information to Elizabeth Werner, Hydrogeologist with Section, and follow her guidance on those issues. Other MW’s, such as GW MW-1, MW-J, MW-K, M-2, and Methane MW-1 were inspected and were locked with identification.

Shingles were stockpiled onsite last inspection beyond convenience site. The County intended to use the stockpiled shingles for assisting in rebuilding a haul road to Wilkes Road Site. This plan was not approved by Solid Waste Section. Those shingles have now been recycled into asphalt through Barnhill and some have been used in a road for CDLF across closed MSW. Some waste was outside EOW markers and needs to be brought back inside EOW. Just across access road from this shingle road is a new pad being constructed, beside concrete crushing. Its graded and ready for concrete to be poured with concrete block borders. It will be where asphalt shingles will be stored and accepted. Shingles used for road over closed MSW to CDLF. EOW marker on left, shingles should be brought inside all EOW markers. New asphalt shingle pad being built.

Cargill is still getting gas from landfill. 7. Leachate pond level was very low. It is still being conveyed through a collection system, controlled by valves, and frequently turned on to allow for the leachate to go to the local WWTP. Leachate pond, very low. 8. Currently, the working face is in Cell 10 with cell 9 and 10 being open. Daily cover materials include posi-shell, tarps and 50/50 ADC soil/compost mixture. Working face was not too large during inspection. A minor amount of waste was visible across the cells and a couple spots on access road that is either windblown or exposed waste. Additional cover is needed to comply with 15A NCAC 13B .1626 (2) (a – d). Mowing is also needed on the north side of the older cells facing open cell 9/10. Landfill was being mowed during visit. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 6 of 8 9. On top of Cell 8, has had soil brought in as requested, there is still more work to do. Vegetation was established but not permanent varieties. It was discussed to be sure and cover, slope, grade and establish vegetation as needed per permit requirements. Cell 8 has been improved since last visit, good job. Perimeter around older cells looked good with not hardly any erosion rills. There were places with soil having been replaced, signs of staff repairing areas that needed it, which is a good thing. Be sure and establish vegetation and ensure that the fix is permanent. Soil staged on top with 5-gallon bucket needing removal. Tall weedy vegetation that has gone dormant, leaving top open to erosion during winter rains. FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 7 of 8 10. A new area, in SE corner of the parcel, for taking composted vegetative waste and soil to mix for 50/50 mix ADC has been established. Soil and the compost are poured onto ground and spread out together. Then loaded up and taken to the landfill working faces. A good comingling of the soil and compost is done through the unloading, loading and movement of the material. Site does seem to be larger than one acre, so be sure DEMLR requirements are satisfied. Soil and compost ADC 50/50 mix area. 11. Dust was not an issue during the inspection. County staff indicated that they were using a water truck periodically to address dust as needed along the roads. Good job. 12. Cumberland County Solid Waste has new equipment in the form of an excavator, bulldozer (coming soon), and are fixing a current compactor. Still have four as back up compactors.
