Dear Mr. Jeter:
Se!)tember 23, 1982
The Warren County PCB landfill permit allows the discharge of treated
rainwater that comes in contact with the PCB-soil miiture. In order
' I.
to increase protection of the public health and environment, it is
requested that the following modifications be approved for the ope~ation
of the Warren County PCB landfill with respect to rainwater management.
l. Utilize rainwater collected within the landfill for dust suppression
in the landfill.
2. Rainwater collected in excess of the amount that can be used for dust
-suppression will be solidified by mixing in a containment structure in
the landfill with a sorbant until no freJ water remains and then
disposed of within the landfill. I
3. Rainwater collected in a major rainfall event that cannot be remov~d
quickly enough to prevent clay liner saturation will be pumped through
the carbon filtration system, dis~harged to the holding basin, tested
for PCB, ·solidified until no free liquid remains and returned to the
landfill. The holding basin materials will be tested for PCB and if _
contaminated, returned to the landfill for disposal.
The procedures will decrease the potential for any PCB discharge from
the landfill site.
Respectfully,
\
