condition, etc.).
Attach a notification table of any groundwater or surface water values that equal or exceed the reporting limits.
Attach a notification table of any methane gas values that attain or exceed explosive gas levels. This includes any structures on or nearby the
facility (NCAC 13B .1629 (4)(a)(i)-

B No. No groundwater or surface water standards were exceeded.
Yes, a notification of values exceeding a groundwater or surface water standard is attached. It includes a list of groundwater and surface water
monitoring points, dates, analytical values, NC 2L groundwater standard, NC 2B surface water standard or NC Solid Waste GWPS and
preliminary analysis of the cause and significance of any concentration.
XI Yes, a notification of values exceeding an explosive methane gas limit is attached. It includes the methane monitoring points, dates, sample
values and explosive methane gas limits.
Certification
To the best of my knowledge, the information reported and statements made on this data submittal and attachments are true and correct.
Furthermore, I have attached complete notification of any sampling values meeting or exceeding groundwater standards or explosive gas
levels, and a preliminary analysis of the cause and significance of concentrations exceeding groundwater standards. I am aware that there
are significant penalties for making any false statement, representation, or certification including the possibility of a fine and imprisonment.

Permit Number 12-03
Fourth Quarter 2022 Landfill Gas Monitoring Report
Project 2212740.00, Phase 04
Dear Mark:
LaBella Associates (LaBella) is submitting the attached methane monitoring results for the Johns
River Landfill, Permit Number 12-03. The 2022 fourth quarter landfill gas monitoring event was
performed on November 17, 2022. During this event, gas probes GP-1S, GP-1D, GP-2S, GP-21, GP-
2D, GP-4, GP-5, GP-6, GP-7, and GP-8 were monitored in accordance with the facility's Landfill Gas
Monitoring Plan. The gas vents in the old C&D-over-MSW waste unit (GV-1 through GV-7) were also
monitored.
The facility buildings, including the scale house (GMP-1), the shop (GMP-2), the office (GMP-3), the
shed (GMP-4), the shooting range (GMP-13), and the Recycling Center (GMP-14) were also monitored
on November 17, 2022, as were ambient air monitoring points GMP-5 through GMP-12. The
locations of the gas probes and monitoring points are depicted in Drawing 1. The monitoring data
for the gas probes and buildings are summarized in the attached Landfill Gas Monitoring Data
Forms.
The lower explosive limit (LEL) for methane is 5% by volume and the LEL for hydrogen sulfide is 4%
by volume. Methane was detected above the LEL in gas probe, GP-2S (57.1%), GP-21 (55.4%), GP-
2D (55.1%). Methane was also detected above the LEL in gas probe, GP-4 (47.7%). The GP-2
probes and GP-4 are not considered boundary probes, they are located between the old, closed
landfill and the active C&D landfill. Methane was detected below the LEL in gas probes, GP-1S
(0.1%), GP -ID (0.1%), GP-5 (0.4%), and GP-6 (0.1%). Methane was detected below the LEL at gas
monitoring points, GMP-5 (0.1%), GMP-6 (0.1%), GMP-7 (0.1%), GMP-11(0.1%), and GMP-12 (0.1%).
These detections can be attributed to a field error due to insufficient time allotted for the gas
analyzer to resettle.
Neither methane nor hydrogen sulfide were detected above the LEL in any other gas probes or
ambient air locations, nor were they detected above 25% of the LEL in any of the buildings. Methane
and hydrogen sulfide detections are summarized in Table 1. Exceedances of the LEL are
summarized in Table 2.
Hydrogen sulfide was not detected above 1 part per million (ppm) in any of the gas probes,
monitoring points, or structures; however, it was detected above 10 ppm in all gas vents, GV-1
through GV-7. Note that the OSHA short-term exposure limit (STEL) for hydrogen sulfide is 15 ppm.
12-D Oak Branch Drive I Greensboro, NC 27407 I p [phone]
www.LabeLLapc.com

Do
Hydrogen sulfide was detected in exceedance of the STEL in gas vents GV-1 (21 ppm), GV-2 (28
ppm), GV-4 (24 ppm), GV-5 (38 ppm), GV-6 (20 ppm), and GV-7 (20 ppm). These are potentially
dangerous concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, so precautions should be taken by any person
working near the gas vents or the GEU.
We have included a NCDEQ Environmental Monitoring Report Form (EMRF) and will forward a copy of
this report to Jaclynne Drummond with the NCDEQ Solid Waste Section. A copy of this report should
be maintained in the facility's records. The next quarterly monitoring event is scheduled for the first
quarter of 2023. If we can provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at
[phone].
