Dear Mr. McNeill:
Phillip J. Kirk, Jr., Secretary
October 20, 1986
I met with Mike Justice, landfill supervisor, at the Transylvania County
landfill on September 25, 1986. The reason for my visit was to inspect the
landfill and estimate the life expectancy of the landfill. Both Mr. Justice and
I agree that due to the amount of cover material remaining at the site, the
Transylvania County landfill cannot operate at its current site for more than
six months.
It is critical that Transylvania County locate an acceptable landfill site
or make other arrangements for solid waste disposal. It will take the Division
of Health Services at least nine months to approve a new solid waste disposal
site once a suitable site has been located. Based on the life expectancy of the
current landfill (six months or less) and the time required for site approval
by the Division of Health Services (at least nine months), time is becoming an
extremely critical factor.
If I can be of assistance or if you have questions, let me know.
Sincerely,
i
Gaiu��

RE: Leachate at Transylvania County Landfill
Phillip J. Kirk, Jr., Secretary
Based on our conversation of November 6, 1986, I am enclosing laboratory
results of stream samples taken below the Transylvania County Landfill.
The leachate has been occuring consistently during the 21,--years I have
been working with the Branch. Evidently a spring has been piped under the
landfill. I have either circled or marked the section pertaining to leachate going
offsite on previous inspection forms.
If you need further information or action concerning this matter, please let
me know.

Re: Transylvania County Landfill
Dear Mr. Patterson:
This is to bring you up to date on the progress of the Site Plan for the
proposed landfill. All the soils work has been completed for the site and
Gordon Layton's group has a preliminary copy of the soils report and have
commented on it. The work for the biological and archaeological work has
been contracted. The aerial photography for this area is currently in the
process of being supplied to us. As you can tell from the above, all the
major work efforts for the site plan have been accomplished. It is now a
matter of putting these into final submittal form.
If you reed additional information, please feel free to call me.
Vp4y truly yours,
