On behalf of Burke County, we are writing to follow up on a request for a vertical expansion of the
John's River C&D landfill. The original request from October 9, 2006 was prepared using mapping
from approximately 1995. The plans have now been updated using aerial topographic information
obtained from the NC DOT GIS web site from a flight conducted on September 9, 2006. The attached
drawings have been updated to illustrate how the additional capacity may be achieved without
modifying the slopes, drainage patterns or operations of the existing facility. In addition to the original
submittal, an approximate grading line has been established to show the approximate waste contours
as of 7/1/08 when the new C&D landfill regulations become effective fort he facility.
The County desires to extend the useful life of this facility as long as practical to allow time to pursue
permitting a new C&D landfill on site. This permitting process will begin shortly and will include as a
part of the permitting process, the submittal of an amended landfill application that is in accordance
with the new regulations. Current projections show the vertical expansion providing enough landfill
space to meet the County's needs until October 2010.
Please feel free to call meat [phone] for additional information. Thank you for your assistance
in this matter and we look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,

monitoring event -at the John's River Waste Management Facility. Landfill gas was detected
above the lower explosive limit (LEL) in gas probe GP-2. The concentrations detected are
similar to those detected during previous events. GP-2 is located in an area with a close
proximity to waste; therefore, the detection of methane gas is not unexpected. Methane was not
detected in any of the remaining site landfill gas monitoring points and probes during this field
event.
The two gas probes that were installed adjacent to the Kirksey Drive Landfill in June 2001 were
also monitored for the presence of landfill gas on November 28, 2007. There were no detections.
of methane in either probe during this event. The landfill gas monitoring logs for each site are
attached. If we can provide any additional information please do not hesitate to call me or Van
Burbach at [phone].
