m,
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with the results for the February 17, 2011
(first quarterly) monitoring event at the John's River Waste Management Facility. Methane was
detected above the lower explosive limit in gas probes GP-2S, GP-2I, and GP-21). The
concentrations detected are similar to those detected during previous events. All of the GP-2
probes are not boundary probes; they are located in close proximity to Waste and the detection of
landfill gas is not unexpected. No detections were recorded for any of the remaining site probes,
monitoring points, and structures. The landfill gas monitoring log is attached. If we can provide
any additional information please do not hesitate to call me or Van Burbach at [phone].
Sincerely,

WATER QUALITY MONITORING
25. Groundwater samples are collected for analysis on a semi-annual basis.
26. The most recent Water Quality Monitoring event occurred in June 2010. Joyce Engineering, Inc. (JEI)
sampled -one up -gradient well (MW-17) and six down -gradient wells (MW-10, 11, 12,13,16S, and 1613).
Two "sentinel wells" (MW-18 and 19) that were installed in accordance with the CAP. The sentinel wells
were installed to evaluate the performance of the approved CAP.
27. The landfill staff has painted the most of the groundwater monitoring wells that are being monitored, red.
28. Samples were collected from two surface water points SMP-5 and 6 (Map # 1) from un-named streams that
feed into the Catawba River.

LANDFILL GAS MONITORING �b p!o
32. Landfill gas monitoring is conducted by JEI on a quarterly basis.
33. The most recent landfill gas monitoring event occurred on 11/30/10.
34. The landfill staff has painted the gas monitoring probes that are being monitored, blue.
35. Each monitoring event evaluates the possible presence of landfill gas in three gas monitoring probes (GP-
1, 2, and 3), five on -site structures (GMP-lscale house, GMP-2 recycling center, GMP-3 office/shop,
GMP-7A barn, and GMP-13 firing range) and nine other locations (GMP-4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12).
A search of the records and files in the Asheville Regional office failed to turn up a map or any other
documentation detailing the locations of the nine gas monitoring points. Please submit, to Bill Wagner
at the address below, a map showing all of the locations (wells, buildings, ambient monitoring
locations, etc.) that are monitored for the presence of landfill gas.

landfill staff, the market for boiler fuel is down and the County's existing markets want a product that is
not so finely ground. (Photos #11 and #12)
Several pieces of unacceptable waste (laminate coated display cases) were mixed in with the treatment and
processing materials. (Photo #13)
