Sincerely, I?l6bi'don Layton, Environmental Engineer id & Hazardous Waste Management Branch Environmental Health Section JGL:ct cc: Keith Masters Robert Wiseman James B. Hunt, Jr Sarah T Morrow, M D, M P H STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR DEFARTthEi�T OF HUMAN RESOURCES SECRETARY GE � " MAR 119 1984 OPERATIONAL PLAN AVERY COUNTY LANDFILL The proposed Avery County Landfill serves the entire county and the municipa.lities located therein. The county's population is approximately 15,000 with 1 imi ted industrial i zat i on; therefore, the waste disposed of is predominantly domestic. Waste collection in the county is through the use of 40 cubic yard containers provided by the county and through private collection services.. The 1 andf i l l is designed so that it will be f i l led in 10 foot lifts. Each lift will be completed and brought up to grade before a new lift is started, with each day's refuse forming an individual cell when properly covered. The cells will be randomly located on the leading edge of the developing lift. The dike is to be constructed as the lift is being brought up. Excavation 1 imi is are shown on the cross sections and on the cut contour map. As each lift is completed, it is to be permanently seeded. The services of an excavating contractor will be obtained to construct portions of the 1 a.ndf i 1 1 . These services will be for the construction of the roads, the s.i 1 t basins, the clearing and the dike construction. With the construction sequence being to fill the 1 andf i l l in 10-foot lifts, the dike will be constructed L P U i completely across the fill area to a minimum height of 12 feet. cover and be replaced with refuse. As can be seen from the drawings, the disposal area is very- limited on this site. The distance from the disposal area to the boundary line far exceeds the required 50 feet. Also it should be noted that all surface water drainage will flow through one drainage basin and wi l 1 flow through si 1 t control devices. Terra.ces are to be constructed to minimize surface water encroachment onto the area that is being f i 1 1 ed. Surface water on the face of the dike will be controlled using a 20 foot wide terrace for each 20 feet of vertical lift. Runoff water from this wi 1 1 be directed through a. level spreader and eventual 1 y through a silt basin. The final 1 i ft wi 1 1 be capped with two feet of soil and seeded. H11 fill areas are to be scarified and recbmpacted. Ground water was discovered in one of the subsurface bores; therefore, the design is such that f i l 1 material wi 1 1 be separated from it by more than the required four (4) feet. Should ground water be encountered, construction plans will be modified to meet Solid Waste Hana.gemen t Rules. This site has fill capacity of 224,:?10 cubic yards. Based on average refuse production of 4 pounds/capacity/day, the projected 1 i fe of the landfill would be 13.5 years. Based on a refuse production of .75 acre-f t .!year/1 000 population, the PQ- projected 1 ife would be 16.3 year_.
