Re: Ground Water Monitoring Wells At The McDowell County Landfill
(Permit #56-01)
Dear Mr. Abernathy,
Our office has reviewed the ground water analytical data and the
well completion records for the monitoring wells at the McDowell
County Landfill. Upon reviewing this information, and making a site
•visit to inspect the monitoring wells, the Solid Waste Section has
several concerns about the existing monitoring system.
The monitoring wells are not marked in the field as identified
on Well Completion Records and a map previously submitted to this
office. This has resulted in sample data being reported that has the
data identified incorrectly on the sample analysis reports. All
monitoring wells need to be clearly marked in the field in a manner
corresponding to the designations previously submitted to this
office. A map is attached that illustrates the proper well
designations. Also, the well information tags on the wells have been
placed on the wrong wells. These tags need to be switched so that
they are placed on the correct wells.
The upgradient well has gone dry. This well should be replaced
as soon as possible. The replacement well may be located in the same
general area as the existing upgradient well. The new well should be
constructed using a 20 foot well screen placed so that the estimated
seasonal high water table is located at the top of the screen. The
water table should always fall within the screen and there should
always be sufficient water in the well to provide an adequate amount
of water to sample. This well should be designed and constructed
according to the specifications in the "North Carolina Water Quality
Monitoring Guidance For Solid Waste Facilities" as illustrated by the
typical well schematic diagram. The old well should be properly
abandoned according to the Division of Environmental Management's
•procedures for permanent abandonment of wells, except disinfection
of the well is not necessary.

•After the completion of the replacement upgradient monitoring
well, a Well Completion Record should be sent to our office within 15
days. Boring logs and any other hydrogeologic information gathered
from the drilling of the well should also be attached with the Well
Completion Record.
The 1990 sampling data indicated that one of the monitoring
wells was not sampled. In the future all monitoring wells must be
sampled during each sampling event. Also the detection limit for the
analysis of Cadmium needs to be reduced at least to 0.005 mg/l, the
present drinking water quality standard for this constituent.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact our office

Re: Collins & Aikman Old Fort Landfill Weighing Plan
Collins & Aikman operates a landfill in McDowell County for the
disposal of waste automotive carpet from our carpet molding operation
in Old Fort. All waste material is baled and subsequently transported
and landfilled in baled form. Bales have been weighed in the past and
average 1,000 pounds each. Collins & Aikman has been active in waste
minimization, reclaim projects, and is currently evaluating
incineration options. We realize that the remaining space in our
landfill is highly valuable and we have taken steps to minimize usage
and maximum space available. Considering reduction goals, we support
every effort to minimize waste. In establishing a baseline year, there
are difficulties due to the cyclical nature of the Automotive business
and annual design changes that impact both the size and total quantity
of waste generated. For these reasons we will commit to a bale
weighing plan at this time. Regarding percent reduction goals, we
believe the arduous task of permitting a new landfill and the expense
of installing liner technology are incentives enough to reduce waste.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please
contact me.
Sincerely,
COLLINS & AIKMAN CORPORATION
