ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
On September 27, 2022 Chuck Kirchner with the Solid Waste Section met with Lewis Walker and Mike Szychowicz with the City of Greensboro Solid Waste Department to conduct a partial inspection of the White Street MSW landfill.
Facility Information: 1. The City of Greensboro operates a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill (Phase III, 41-12). The property also contains a large type I solid waste compost (SWC) facility (41-03), a construction and demolition debris (C&D) atop a closed MSW landfill (Phase II, 41-03) adjacent to a closed unlined MSW landfill (Phase I), and a temporary disaster debris staging site (TDDSS, DS41-002). 2. The facility is open Monday through Friday 7:50 am to 4:50 pm and Saturday 7:00 am to 1:00 pm. 3. The facility is permitted to receive solid waste generated within the City of Greensboro and Guilford County. 4. The MSW landfill is permitted to operate Phase III, Cells 1, 2 and 3. 5. The facility does not accept scrap tires or white goods. 6. The MSW landfill Cells 1 and 2 contain intermediate soil cover and have a good grass cover.
7. Waste is currently being placed in Cell 3. Facility Inspection: 8. Leachate from Phase III Cells 1, 2, and 3 drain into a leachate pump station before being routed to the leachate storage tanks. During the inspection, the leachate pump station was observed and appears in good condition. 9. The facility has two 350,000-gallon leachate storage tanks with a secondary containment wall. Leachate has
been pumped down in preparation of Hurricane Ian. During the inspection, the leachate level in Tank A was 5.5 feet and Tank B was 3.8 feet. The leachate tanks were observed to be in good condition. The leachate tanks are connected by spillover pipe and can be pumped from one to the other. 10. The leachate storage tanks are connected to the City of Greensboro sanitary sewer which flows to the TZ Osborne wastewater treatment plant.
11. The facility [Phase III] has a landfill gas collection system. The landfill gas pipeline to Cone Mills has been capped and is no longer used as boiler fuel. Landfill gas from the Phase III area is flared off. The landfill gas flare was observed in operation.
12. Landfill Gas Monitoring Wells, LFG-2, LFG-3, LFG-5, LFG-6, LFG-7 and LFG-8 were observed in good condition this inspection. 13. Groundwater Monitoring Wells, MW-13, MW-15, MW-16, MW-17, MW-20, MW-22, MW-25 and MW-25D were observed in good condition this inspection. 14. Ensure MW-13 has information added to the identification plate per 15A NCAC 2C .0108(p) which includes (1) well contractor's name and certification number; (2) the date the well was completed; (3) the total depth
of the well; (4) a warning that the well is not for water supply and that the groundwater may contain hazardous materials; and (5) the depth to the top and bottom of each screen. 15. The working face was observed to be very small and compact. 16. The working face is regularly covered with soil and an adequate amount of soil is on location to use as cover material. 17. A large amount of soil has been stockpiled near the working face. The soil is from a near by construction site according to Mr. Walker. The soil stockpile has been surrounded by silt fence and Mr. Walker stated that if the
soil is still there in two months the contractor is contracted to stabilize the soil stockpile. 18. The MSW landfill Cells 1 and 2 contain intermediate soil cover. 19. Continue to seed and mulch and bare areas or areas with sparse grass cover in Phase III as needed.
20. Erosion and sedimentation control measures appeared to be in good order and no evidence of erosion observed this inspection. 21. The facility has installed edge of waste markers. Markers are on a steel post and have a yellow sign that clearly
states: ‘Edge of Waste’. 22. During the inspection odor was not detected. 23. Landfill cap appears to be well maintained. 24. Windblown material was not observed. 25. The facility has a water truck available for dust control.
