Dear Mr. Meyer:
I'• .
Please find enclosed a copy of the December 14, 1981, letter
sent to the State of North Carolina from the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), Region !V's, former Administrator,
Charles R. Jeter. This letter served as the final EPA approval
for the Warren County, North Carolina chemical waste landfill.
A review of the "Final Approval Conditions" section indicates
that this permit document needs to be updated to present stan-
dards. A permit revision process will be initiated by our
Toxics Section to ensure that the landfill approval is in con-
junction with all current PCB landfill regulations. These
standards are found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title
40, Section 761.75.
At this time, we expect to have an updated permit issued for the
Warren County site by the end of this fiscal year. If you have
any questions or comments on this matter, please contact Carin
DeBenedictis at {404) 347-3864.
Sincerely,
Richard D. Stonebraker
Chief, Pesticides & Toxic Substances Branch

The parameters for ground and surface water monitoring for
this program are found at 40 CFR (761.41 (b) (6) (iii) (A), (B)
and ( C) ) • Samples should be collected and analyzed in
accordance with EPA approved procedures.
2. Ground Water
a. Background -Each well must be sampled at least three
times and the data submitted to Region IV prior to any
disposal. A minimum of one week should elapse between
sampling. At each sampling a minimum of t...u replicate
measurements for each value or concentration should be -
made.
. ... .,.

Changes in Program
Upon a determination by the State or EPA that containment has
failed, the sampling frequency of either ground or surface
water sampling may be modified. EPA may also require the
installation of additional rronitoring·wells and an expansion
of the list of rronitoring parameters.
Well location and screened elevations shall be coordinated
with EPA Region IV in the field or by telephone as
appropriate.
I. Undisturbed samples of the soil liner will be taken and the
laboratory permeability determined and submitted to EPA Region IV
prior to any disposal (1 sample per 25,000 square feet of liner).

Dear Governor Hunt:
Alabama. Georgia. Florida.
Mississippi, North Carolina.
South Carolina, Tennessee.
Kentucky
On February 17, 1978, the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) published final regulations in the Federal Register
(43 FR 7150-7164) on Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Disposal
and Marking. These regulations were amended by the Federal Register
.(43 FR 33918-33920) on August 2, 1978. These regulations prohibit
the disposal of PCBs at any site not approved by the EPA after
April 18, 1978, and these regulations require that the owner and/or
operator of a chemical waste landfill used for the disposal of PCBs
submit information in accordance with Section 761.41, Chemical Waste
Landfills., to the Regional Administrator for revi~w.
In accordance ~vith the above referenced regulations, a formal appl i-
cation was filed with this office dated December 12, 1978, requesting
approval of a site in Harren County, North Carolina which will be
owned and operated by the State of North Carolina and used for the
disposal of PCB contaminated soil from the highway shoulders in the
State and from the Fort Bragg military reservation. A public hearing
was held in Warrenton, North Carolina on January 4, 1979, for public
input. The hearing record was held open until January 12, 1979, for
additional written public input into the decision process.
The result of EPA's review is that the proposed site will meet all the
technical requirements for a chemical waste landfill as required in
Section 761.~l(b), when constructed in accordance with the enclosed
conditions to this appioval except for the fellowing:
(1) 7Gl.11l(b)(l)(vi) "!;rtifici21 li;".u t:iicL:1~::;s 30 mil. •J?'
~r,~c1Ler.11
(2) 76l.4l(b)(2) 11 The site shall be at least fifty feet from the
neare$ t groundv1ater. 11
(3) 761.4l(b)(5)(iii)(d) "Chlorinated Organics.11
These three requirements are hereby waived for the reasons given in
the enclosed technical review. Your re~uest to waive the leachate
collection system underneath the liner is denied for the reasons
stated in the enclosed technical review.

Accordingly, the Warren County, North Carolina site to be owned and operated
by the State of North Carolina for the disposal of PCB contaminated highv,ay
shoulder soil is hereby approved subject to the enclosed conditions as a
chemical waste landfill as authorized in 40 CFR, Part 7610 It is understood
by EPA and the State of North Carolina that this approval is based on . the
conceptual design only and that the final construction plans and specifica-
tions (if any) must be approved in wr.iting by this office prior to
the initiation of constructiono
This approval is not to be .construed to be approval for incineration,
storage, marking or records and monitoringo We will continue to work
with you in any way we can to expedite a public heal th oriented and
environwP-ntally sound solution to the PCB problem in North Carolina.

suaJEcT: Techrucal Review -Chemical Waste Landfill for
PCB SUbrnitted by the State of North Ga.rolina
FROM: Chief, Residuals Management Branch
To: John C. White
Regional Administrator
'Ihe State of North Carolina submitted an application for the approval
of a disposal site 1n Warren County, North Carolina on December 12,-1978.
'Ihe Technical review has been perfonned. The results ·or applying the
~riteria foW1d in FR 761.4l(b) to the application are as foll~flS:
. -(b) (1) Soils -The site is not 1n a "thick,· relatively impermeable
formation such as large-area clay pans." 'lherefore, the soils are evaluat.
on the folloidng criteria:
Requir-ed Prooosed
(i) Soll liner thiclmess 3 ft. (canpacted)
J , 5 ft. ( canpacted)
(ii) Permeability (cm/sec) lXJ.o-7 or 6.Bx:10-8 or
(0.0000001) (0.000000068)

(iv) Liq u:id Lilni t 2 30 51 Average
(v) Plasticity Index 215 18 Average
(vi) Artificial Liner 30 mil. None proposeo1'
1/ A waiver-was requested for this requirement. The primary justification
for the \·:2.ive, was that t Le St:itc \•;ould 1n3tead pl:1.ce a 10 ::ill. plnstic

be approved.
IIPA iJo,.., 1320-6 (R..,. 3-76)

(2) Hydr-ology -The site is located on the crest of a ridge at lati-
tude 36° 20' 13", longitude 78° 09' 58" and is above the 100 year-
.flood level. This is verified by the U.S. Geological Survey (see
letter dated November 29, 1978, to Jerry C. Perkins). 'Ihe bottan of
the waste will not be 50 feet above the groundwater. The min.1mur:i
distance will be held to 10 feet above the seasonal h1gh groundwater
table. 'Ihe State requested a waiver for this criterion. In reviewing
the justification of the waiver, I have concluded that the clay liner
1n the bottan of the trench plus the liner on top of the waste ~nich
will act as an wbrella for infiltration prevention, plus tre leachate
collection system and su~p above and below the clay liner will
sufficiently protect public health and the errvironnent fran "unreasonable
risk of injury" as stipulated by paragraph 7 61. 41 ( c )( 4) • Therefore,
this waiver should be approved as requested.
(3) Flood Protection -The application states that the diversion structures .
will be designed to divert the 24 hour, 25 year runoff fran the active
'port~on of the la.ridfill. j:
(4) Topography -Tne topography at the proposed site::1s low to rroderate.
'Ihe approval should -be conditioned to require all practical erosion
prevention n:e2.Sures to be used.
(5) (i) Monitorir-6 Sys tens
a. 'Ihe application states that baseline data will be collected
prior to final approval. The approval should be so conditioned • ....
' b. The application states that the surface streams and the gramd-·
water will be sampled rronthly during operation. The approval ·
should be so conditioned by ra-ferring to paragraph 761.41(b)(5).
-c. Bi-annual nxmitoring will be done after closure.
(11) Groundi'-iater Monitoring Wells
'Ihe application states that these will be constructed and loca.ted
as required. EPA staff should verif,'/ t:ie lor.:·.ation of these in
the field.
(iii) Water Analysis
'Ihe analysis for chlorinated hydrocarbons is • requested to be
waived. The regulations were written for c011Irercial facilities
which would be disposing of many different wastes. Since PCB is
the only ·waste which will be disposed in this site, there 1s no
point to rronitoring for other chlorinated organics. This waiver
should be aooroved.
-3-
(6) Leachate Collection
'!he proposed design does not show a leachate collection system under
the liner as required by the t"e!::,rulation. Because of the gr-ound',-;ater
prox1mity and the demonstrated public concern, I recarunend that a
leachate collection system and sump be installed under the soil liner
to monitor the 1ntegrity of the soil liner. In addition, the leachate
collection system above the soil liner should be required with the
appropriate sump to provide the rrechanism to allow pumping out of any
leachate collected to prevent any significant hydraulic head buildup
on the clay liner. Therefore, this waiver should not be aopr-oved.
(7) Operations
The operations plan submitted is satisfactory with the exception of
the one foot of clean soil to be placed on top of first lift of waste.
This cleari soil is to be used to prevent the trucks fran taking out
contaminated soil on the wheels. This one foot should be restricted
to the middle 20 to 30 feet of the trench so as not to provide a
. shunt to the side walls should any 1nf1ltration occur. Tnis restric-:
tion· wlll c.llow arzy infiltration to proceed down through the waste
to the leachate collection system h'hich would lead it to the sump
for pumpL'lg oJ.t. -'·
(8) Sup;x:irting Facilities -The supr:orting faclli ties are satisfactory
as described. No rrention was mde of long-tenn rmintenance of the
access road. Tne approval should be conditioned to insure that all-
weather access is rraintained.
