ON OF GROUND -WATER MONITORING WELLS
Tne location of monitoring wells at the proposed landfill site is the most
critical phase of the site development. Placement of the monitoring wells
will be based on ground water gradients established during the preliminary
site investigation. The selection of monitoring well locations must be
coordinated with the hydrogeologist for the Solid and Hazardous Waste
Management Branch. This is to assure uniformity of installation procedures
and conformance with EPA regulations.
The procedure for drilling through the unsaturated soil mantle to the water
bearing formation is a standard procedure with most consulting and well
drilling firms. The only precaution in this stage of the installation is
minimizing the use of drilling fluid (bentonite-gel mixture), flocculants
(mixtures of sodium pyrophosphate) and excessive use of lubricants. If any of
these or relating products are used in the drilling process, the hole should
be flushed to remove as much of the contaminants as possible.
installation of the monitoring well and placement of the well screen is
critical to assure that the ground water sample represents the aquifer zone
where contaminants may occur. A minimum well screen length of ten feet is
required. The specific depth of the screen interval will be established as a
condition of the permit based upon data collected during the site
investigation.
In connecting sections of PVC pipe, clamps or threaded fittings of pipe is
required. Epoxy cement or other PVC glues may contaminate ground water
samples and, as such, are not allowed.
Well -sorted sand, used as a pre-screening of influent ground water, should be
washed to remove all fines and prevent clogging of the well screen.
The remainder of materials used in the installation of the monitoring wells
are self-explanatory. Should questions arise as to the type of materials or
any phase of the installation, please contact the hydrogeologist for the Solid
and Hazardous Waste Management Branch in Raleigh, North Carolina, at (919)
733-2178.

RE: Notice of Violation
Avery County Landfill
State Road 1101
Mr. Fletcher:
Reference is made to our meeting on September 23, 1987 regarding defic-
iencies noted at the Avery County Landfill. As we discussed, consecutive
inspections on June 2, 1987 and September 23, 1987 revealed the following
violations of the N. C. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT RULES:
1. .0505(3)(a) - Cover Requirements: solid waste shall be covered after each
day of operation, with a compacted layer of at least six inches of suitable
cover or as specified by the Division.
2. .0505(4)(b) - Erosion Control Requirements: adequate erosion control
measures shall be practiced to prevent excessive on -site erosion.
In addition to the above -noted violations, the September 23, 1987 inspection
also revealed additional violations relative to surface water impoundment
over the solid waste and an accumulation of windblown materials around the land-
fill.
We are, therefore, notifying you that immediate action must be initiated
to:
1. Correct all excessive erosion problems including re -seeding before adverse
weather conditions arrive.
2. Insure that all solid waste is covered after each day of operation with a
compacted layer of at least six inches of soil cover.
3. Collect all windblown materials resulting from the operation and return to i
the area (at the conclusion of each day of operation).

_-.- Prevent surface water impoundment over the waste.
5 . Cover -the top of the landfill withtwofeet of suitable compacted -so'
l
- --including seeding tostabilizethe site before arrival of adverse winter
A re -inspection of the landfill will be made on or about November 1, 1987
to determine compliance.
Pursuant to N. C. General Statutes 130A-22(a) and NCAC lOG, Sections .0701 -
.0707, an administrative penalty may be assessed for violations of the Solid
Waste Law and Regulation.

Final Inspection (December 2, 1987)
Construction Project at Landfill
Persons Present: Cuthbertson, Fletcher, VonCannon,
Setzer, Owens and Beehler
Dear Randall:
The following listed items were noted as being not in accordance with the
construction plans for this project:
1. Stone Check Dams were not constructed as designed, as well as being
deficient in total number to be installed on each diversion ditch.
2. Filter Basins (Stone rip-rap,.Class 1) was not installed as per
drawings. The stone rip rap utilized was much smaller in size than
the Class 1 Stone Rip rap that was specifier an ac7ass a result it
was washed out due to being too small and also the earth berms of the
filter basins were not properly compacted during construction.
3. Grassing was inadequate over the entire construction area.
4. Diversion Ditches were not properly stabilized.at the ditch flow line,
under the jute matting, and severe eroding occurred in the ditches in
the limits of the existing landfill which resulted in exposure of
existing garbage fill to the atmosphere.
5. Grading of landfill berms was not true to grade.and created ponding
on the terraces. and spillover eroded the fill face of the existing
landfill.
The Contractor was on site at the time of the inspection and is aware of
the above listed items and each was discussed as to where the deficiencies
existed and what he must do to correct the problem.

-now- a e -on r c - - had -access-to-the contract drawi-ngs-as- -l-

It was determined at the time of.the inspection that the Contractor was to
proceed with all of the corrective measures as soon as weather permitted but
that immediate priority be given to the installation of hay bales in the
eroded ditches along with earth intermixed so as to reduce further erosive
action on the existing landfill area.
I will be available as needed during the time period of this corrective
measures consturction but would like to have sufficient notice to arrange
my schedule when a site visit is deemed necessary.
Very truly yours,
Ralph F. Owens
