Re: The Closed Haywood County Francis Farm Landfill (Permit #44-03).
Dear Mr. Horton,
The additional information (site groundwater data, State Groundwater Standards) you
requested in your November 25, 1997 letter is attached. The following is provided to answer the
questions you mentioned in your letter.
1)
2)
What chemicals and to what degree do they exceed State standards?
The Solid Waste Section's primary concern at this point are the volatile organic
compounds that have been confirmed by the data Haywood County (County) has
submitted to the Solid Waste Section (SWS). I have attached pertinent copies of the last
data submittal which is typical of past results. I also penciled in the State groundwater
standard (NCAC 15A Subchapter 2L) for comparison purposes. Note: Data from
monitoring well MW-2 was not included in the submittal.
Under which testing requirements are you referring to - requirements at the time of
closure or new Subtitle D requirements?
The SWS water quality sampling policy for municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs)
that closed before the implementation of the Subtitle D rules (i.e. Francis Farm Landfill)
requires, at a minimum, semi-annual sampling and analyzing for metals and volatile
organic compounds. To fulfill these requirements Haywood County has been sampling
and analyzing for twelve metals and performing a volatile scan (method 8260) at the
Francis Farm Landfill. The requirements for detection monitoring at Subtitle D facilities
are similar but requirements after contaminants are detected at Subtitle D facilities may
be quite different. Although the Francis Farm Landfill is not required to comply with
Subtitle D water quality monitoring rules it must comply with the 2L ground water
standards.
I hope the above is helpful in answering your questions. Thank you for your prompt

Re: Exceedances of Ground Water Standards At The Closed Haywood County Francis
Farm Landfill (Permit #44-03).
Dear Mr. Horton,
Water quality data from past sampling of the ground water detection monitoring wells
at the closed Haywood County Francis Farm Landfill indicates levels of chemical constituents
exceeding water quality standards. All of the monitoring wells have exceedances of N.C.
State groundwater standards and are located at or near the facility property boundaries.
Pursuant to N.C. Administrative Code 13B assessment/remediative measures are required.
The County should acquire the services of a N.C. licensed'professional geologist with
experience in assessment and remediation of ground water contamination and submit a plan
that addresses the objectives the County believes will address the ground water exceedances.
The professional geologist shall consult with the Solid Waste Section (Section) about the
landfill site prior to developing the plan. The Section will review the submitted plan, approve
it, or request more information or amendments before implementation. The plan shall then be
implemented as approved. Requests for modification of the assessment plan must be submitted
in writing to the Section and approved by the Section.
If I can be of assistance or if you have any questions regarding this issue please contact
me at [phone], extension 261.
Sincerely,
Mark Poindexter, Hydrogeologist

Re: Water Quality Monitoring Requirements - Town of Canton Landfill
(Permit # 44-04)
Dear Mr. Lyda:
The Solid Waste Section has not received any water quality monitoring data from the Town of
Canton Landfill since the June 29, 1995 sampling event. If the monitoring wells have been
sampled since then, please submit a copy of all of the data to this office without delay. If no
additional monitoring has been done, a sampling event should be scheduled as soon as possible.
Unless there has been a change in the facility permit (44-04), water quality monitoring continues
to be a requirement at the site. All monitoring wells and surface water locations must be sampled
semi-annually. Please contact the Solid Waste Section immediately upon receipt of this letter to
inform us of the status of the water quality monitoring program at the Town of Canton Landfill.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions about monitoring requirements at the
facility, please call me at [phone], ext. 257.
Sincerely,
