Re: Modification to the Permit for Closure, Haywood County Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Permit Number 44-03, Haywood County
Dear Mr. Cogdill:
The Solid Waste Section (the Section) has reviewed and hereby approves your request to modify the
Permit for Closure to allow the construction of a gravel parking lot for school buses on top of the closed
landfill referenced above.
The attached Permit for Closure, originally issued on December 13, 1995, has been updated and reissued
with the parking lot as an approved Post Closure Use as described in the List of Approved Documents,
Attachment 1, Part B.
Please note Condition #2 which requires that "The owner or operator shall maintain the integrity and
effectiveness of any cap system, including making repairs to the cover as necessary to correct the effects of
settlement, subsidence, erosion, or other events, and prevent surface water from impounded over waste and
run-on and run-off from eroding or otherwise damaging the cap system."
Also, please note Condition # 6 which requires that "Post -closure use of the property shall not disturb the
integrity of the cap system, or the function of the monitoring systems. The Division may approve any other
disturbance if the owner or operator demonstrates that disturbance of the cap system, including any removal
of waste, will not increase the potential threat to human health or the environment."
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at [phone].

WATER QUALITY:
Water quality &ta from past sampling of the groundwater detections m
wells at the site have indicated levels of chemical constituents exceedi:
groundwater quality standards in all of the monitoring wells: Recoatl�
have indicated a downward trend In the contaminant levels. Without
investigation it is difficult to determine if the recent trend is a function
precipitation infiltration or an inadequate monitoring system. The Soli
Section (Section) previously requested in a .letter dated CctobeT 16, 19'
Jack Horton that action be taken to investigate the extent of the ,ground
ptublem. The Section has not received any of the information request(
correspondence.
The Section was informed that the County recently expanded the pub'
system to all areas around the landfill, but it was not known which, if
residences in the area had hooked up to the system. Presently, the CIO
appears to be in the upgradieut direction -from the landfill. However,

REQUIREMENTS:
Based upon the above findings, the County should acquire the serVice of N.C.
licensed professional geologist with experience in assessment and ret ation of
ground water contamination and landfill gases and submit a plan to ad Iress the
exceedances. The professional geologist shall consult with the Sectio about the
landfill site prior to developing the plan. The Section will review the lubmitted
plan, approve at, or request more information or amendments before
implementatim. The plan shall then be implemented as approved_ R nests for
modification of the assessment plan must be submitted in writing to Lb e Section
and approved by the Section. The plan should provide the following:
I) A site topographic map depicting waste boundarim, permitted oundary,
site property boundary, County owned land, location of monit ring wells,
and structures neat- waste (i.e. gas cutoff trench, school bus garage,
entrance roads).
2) A map locating all the private wells within a 2000 foot radius oaf landfill
boundary. hiclude the present location of the public water line bn this
map.
3} Proposed locations for permanent methane monitoring probes d a
landfill gas sampling plan,. Tho plan may include a combirrati of
groundwater monitoring wells and gas monitoring probes, and hall
include a sampling schedule. i
4) A. proposal for a new upgradient monitoring well. The existinP up�adient
woll is located very near, if not in, waste and samples indicate f lie
groundwater at that location has been affected_ Those samples do nat
represent background conditions it the site.
5) A corrective action proposal for the landfill gas detected at the chool bus

6) A schedule for hooking up the surrounding homes to the publiwater line.
7) Assurances that private wells will not be installed within 500 feet of thee
waste boundary.
Please submit a landfill gas corrective action plan 'within 30 days and plan to
address the remaining items above within 60 days. Thank you for you prompt
attention to these matters_ If you have any questions, please comtact xrte at 919-

.As you are aware, the primary reason for a required assessment is to bt
PTotection, of publip health.. As part of this pratectiozl it is important to
extent of the groundwater contar>ai_uation. at the Francis Farm Landfill
Concentrations of several toxic, synthetic organic chemicals that excee
2L groundwater standards and EPA drinlcin water standards have bee
sazx'iples from monitoring wells located at ©r near the landfill propertY
Because of the dynamics and direction of groundwater flow,.conUmin
have ah eady migrated off site at the facility. With the uxllamwu sitaat
groundwater users living around the landfill it is essential to proceed v
groundwater assessment. 'Therefore, as previously requested, Haywoe
required to prepare and sub�it�to the Solid Waste Section a groundwa
assessment plan designed to dei"rrle the limits and extent of the known
eontamlination associated with -the Francis Farm Landfill. Failure to ac
increases the potential threat to public health and the environment and

Dear Mr. Coffey,
I am writing this letter in reference to the Francis Farm Landfill (closed since October 8,
1993) that we discussed briefly on the phone last week. Haywood County has been
approached by the School System about the possibility of graveling a. portion of the top
of the landfill for the purpose of parking their school buses during the summer months.
As the owner of this landfill, the County is asking for permission to allow this section of
the landfill to be graveled and used for this purpose. The attached print shows the area
that would be involved if permission were granted. This is an area approximately 100 by
800 feet.
As we discussed last week, this area would only be used during the summer when school
is not in session. Therefore, the buses will not be starting every day as they would during
the school year. Please let me know if you need any additional information from the
Solid Waste Department.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
� 444
