The purpose of this letter is to provide you with the results for the February 12, 2008
(first quarterly) monitoring event at the John's River Waste Management Facility. Landfill gas
was detected above the lower explosive limit 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 and is not a boundary probe; therefore, the detection of methane gas is not
unexpected. Small detections . of 0.2%, methane in ambient air were recorded at GMP-6 and
GMP-9; however these detections were well below the regulatory limit. No detections were
recorded for any of the remaining site probes, monitoring points, and structures.
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. There were no detections of landfill gas 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 Van Burbach at [phone].

RE: John's River Waste Management Facility (Permit # 12-03)

Second Quarterly Gas Monitoring Results
JEI Project No. 277.00, Task 34
Dear Mr. Fisher:
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with the results for the second quarterly landfill
gas monitoring events at the John's River Waste Management Facility and the closed Kirksey
Drive Landfill in conformance with 15A NCAC 13B.1626.(4). Landfill gas monitoring was
conducted for both sites on May 29, 2008. A copy of this letter should be placed in the
operating records for these facilities.
Landfill gas was detected above the lower explosive limit in gas probe GP-2 at the John's
River site. The concentrations detected are similar to those detected during previous events.
GP-2 is located in close proximity to waste and is not a boundary probe; therefore, the
detection of methane gas is not unexpected. No detections were recorded for any of the
remaining site probes, monitoring points, and structures, except as noted below.
An explosive gas concentration above the lower explosive limit was detected in the vehicle
maintenance pit in the maintenance shop at the John's River site. No gas was detected
anywhere in the maintenance shop except in the pit itself. Information provided by the
facility personnel indicated that the detection may be due to a leak in the site's propane
system rather than landfill gas. This is supported by the fact that Probe GP-3, located
between the waste area and the shop, showed no methane detections. JEI immediately
contacted you with this information and recommended that the propane system be shut down
and tested as soon as possible, and that site personnel stay out of the pit area until the problem
is resolved. If the propane leak is confirmed and repaired, JEI will return to the site to
monitor gas concentrations in the pit to confirm that the problem has been resolved and was
not related to landfill gas.

Mr. H. Carson Fisher, P.E.
June 3, 2008
Page 2 of 2
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. There were no detections of landfill gas
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 Michelle
Brown at [phone].

yard trash and land clearing debris by grinding this material into mulch, without first
obtaining a permit from the Division. To correct this violation, we are requesting a
"Receipt for Acknowledgement Letter " (RAL) from the Division of Waste Management;
Solid Waste Section, Permitting Branch for this operation.
I will be out of the office on Friday August 1, 2008, but will return on Monday August 4.
Please call me at 828/439-4394 to discuss this matter.

Dear Mr. Wagner:
We are in receipt of the above -referenced Facility Compliance Audit Report from your
inspection of May 28, 2008. Our responses to your comments and concerns are as
follows:
Areas of Concern and Comments:
10. The perimeter of the C&D landfill needs to be marked with stakes to identify the
footprint of the landfill. As soon as reasonably possible, landfill staff will delineate the
boundaries of the C&D landfill and the underlying MSW landfill as best we can.
17...... there are several areas on the west side of the landfill that is not adequately
covered. Discussions have been held with the applicable landfill staff to ensure adequate
daily cover.
18..... no records of random screening of wastes. Copies of the most recent waste
screenings have been included. Also, discussions have been held with the applicable
landfill staff to conduct random waste screenings to ensure the proper disposal of all
waste.
19..... what appeared to be municipal solid waste (bagged food waste, household items )
was observed in the working face. Discussions have been held with the applicable landfill
staff to conduct random waste screenings to ensure greater compliance with the items
allowed in the C&D landfill.
20..... no records documenting methane monitoring readily available for review. A copy
of the May 22, 2008 Second Quarterly Gas Monitoring results are included. Copies of the
LF Gas Monitoring reports from the last three quarters have been requested from Joyce
Engineering and will be forwarded upon receipt.

White Goods:
1. .... white goods are stored on a concrete pad that is badly fractured. We will be
reviewing what will be necessary to provide a cleaner, neater pad for storage of
these white goods.
2. All appliances, including those that contain CFCs, were haphazardly stored in a
pile. Discussions have been held with applicable landfill staff to ensure that the
CFC containing appliances are stored upright until CFCs have been removed.
3. .... about half of the gas tanks on site had not been perforated or otherwise
rendered un-useable. Discussions have been held with applicable landfill staff to
ensure compliance with this requirement.
Treatment and Processing Area:
4. There is no Solid Waste Permit or Operations Plan that addresses the storage and
treatment processing of wood wastes ........ into mulch. Discussions were held
with Mr. Larry Frost of the Asheville Regional Office regarding the "Request of
Acknowledgement Letters ". Those Request forms have been emailed to this office
by Mr. Frost and are being filed out.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. We will be forwarding additional
information as it becomes available. Please don't hesitate to call me at 828/439-4394 if
you have questions.

Leachate Seep at the C&D LF
Subject: Leachate Seep at the C&D LF
From: Bill Wagner <Bill. [e-mail]>
Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2008 11:12:48 -0500
To: Carson Fisher <[e-mail]>
Carson,
On Tuesday 11/04, when Katherine Marciniak and I were at the Burke County C&D
landfill, we discovered a seep of leachate along the east face of the old MSW
landfill.
I've attached a photo (note the ink pen in lower middle for scale) of the seep and a
map with the estimated location of the seep.
This seep must be immediately fixed. I suggest that at the very least the seep must
be excavated and sealed with low permeability soil. The excavated soils can be taken
to the top of the C&D landfill and covered with soil. If you have any questions
please call.
