Attached is an April 30, 1990 memorandum from the Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources and a May 8, 1990
memorandum from the North Carolina Department of Crime Control
and Public Safety concerning the cutting of grass and the use of
herbicides near the PCB Landfill in Warren County.
Please review these memos with all members of your staff involved
in the cutting of grass and the use of herbicides near the PCB
landfill to insure that our staff fully complies with the request
that: (1) no herbicides are to be used around the fences or in
the vicinity of the monitoring wells. This could introduce
contaminates to the wells, and ( 2) the grass around the wells
should be cut periodically to enable a clear area for sampling of
the wells. A weed-eater, however, or some other manual means of
cutting the grass should be used in the vicinity of the
monitoring wells.
Please insure these requests become standard operating procedures
for all workers involved in the maintenance of this area.
