l. Who will be responsible for the perpetual monitoring of the landfill?
The N.C. Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Branch will be
responsible for the perpetual monitoring of the landfill .
2. Briefly describe the landfill monitoring program.
The monitoring program .will consist of chemical analyses of waters
and sediments from specific locations around the landfill as well as
routine inspections of the leachate collection system. ·
Four ground-water monitoring wells and four surface water locations
will be sampled three times prior to deposition of the PCB materials ,
twice during the landfill operation, and twice yearly following the
landfill closure . In addition, sediment samples will be taken at all
surface water sampling points using the same water monitoring schedule.
The leachate collection system will be inspected on a monthly basis .
Any contaminants found in· the leachate collection system will be disposed
out of state.
3. What will happen if,the monitoring program detects migration of PCBs
from the landfill?
'Th~ landfill monitoring program is designed t o detect potential
PCB migration at the earliest p03 sible time. This would provide ample
opportunity to locate the specific cause of the migration and initiate
appropriate remedial activities.
