RE: Ground Water Monitoring System for the PCB Landfill
Dear Mr. Bain:
.RA
DEHNR
I am in receipt of the September 25, 1995 letter regarding the additional material needed to complete your
evaluation. The material attached to this letter should address most of your requests. Some of the items
you requested were not available.
The material I have included is:
1. boring logs for the original test borings for the site characterization;
2. a copy of the construction plans for the PCB landfill;
3. elevation of the bottom of each well;
4. aerial photograph of the site (please return it when you are finished);
5. elevation of the water in the landfill;
6. well records for each of the wells; and
7. copies of memos, reports, and other applicable correspondence pertaining to the PCB Landfill.
In addition to the material specified above, I have included a table with water level data for well MW-4.
The data sent to you previously included an incorrect measuring point elevation and incorrect water table
elevations.
If there are any questions please call me at (919) 733-2178 extension 300.
Respectfully,

Re: Monitoring Wells
PCB Landfill
Warren County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Berry:
t.AAR .::. 9 198'3
hf\l.~IUH nf.G\ONAL 0FF1CE
As requested by Jim Lineberger Grading & Paving, Inc., of Gastonia,
North Carolina, Ezra Meir Associates, Inc. constructed four (4) moni-
toring wells around the PCB Landfill in Warren County, North Carolina.
The wells were constructed in August 1982 under the direction of Mr.
Daniel H. Biechler, of Sverdrup & Parcel, Consu~ting Engineers, Greens-
boro, North Carolina. On August 25, 1982, Mr. Biechler accepted the
construction of the monitoring wells and the grouting of all open holes.
Effective on August 25, 1982, it is our understanding that the State of
North Carolina assumed responsib~lity of the wells.
Attached, please find monitoring well construction records and one (1)
copy of the well specifications. If you need any further information in
this regard, please let us know.
Very truly yours,

c. Estimated Waste Volume
The landfill site will be constructed to
accommodate up to 40,000 cubic yards of soil
contaminated with PCBs.
E. "Description of Environmental Setting
1. Roadside
The discharge of material containing PCBs occurred
on approximately 211 shoulder miles of North Carolina
highways. The PCB spills have been identified in 14
counties. See Figure l for a general location of the .
spill areas. The discharge of material containing PCBs
occurred mainly in rural areas on the roadway shoulder
within 24. inches of the pavement edge.
2. Disposal Site
a. Location and General Description
The proposed disposal aite is located in the
northeastern North Carolina Piedmont Plateau of
Warren county, approximately four miles south of
Warrenton. See Figur·e 2 for a county map showing
the site location.
The proposed disposal site consists of ap-
proximately 142 acres of which about five acres
will be used for the actual disposal of the soil
contaminated with PCBa. The remaining acreage
will •~rve as a buffer zone for the disposal a~ea.
b. Hydrology-Topography
Surface water discharges are controlled by
the topographic position of the land. The proposed
disposal area occupies the crest of a gently
sloping upland ridge which has 70 to 80 feet of
relief. Surface water discharge from the site is
toward ■even draws located in a radial pattern
around the site. See Figure 7 for surface drainage
patterns. Two large draws immediately Northeast,
and West of the ■ite receive the major portion of
surface run-off. Exposed clayey subsoils, topogra-
phic poaition and side slopes tend to minimize .
surface water infiltration and maximize surface
water run-off.

Surface water discharge is to Richneck Creek
and an unnamed tributary to Richneck Creek via
draws around the site. Richneck Creek discharges
to Fishing Creek. The confluence of Richneck and
Fishing Creek is approximately 3 miles downstream
and Southeast of the Warrenton raw water intake.
Stream classifications for Richneck Creek and
Fishin9 Creek in the discharge area •is class C.
Approximately 40 miles separate the site discharge
area and the closest raw water intake.
U. S. Geological Survey Flood Records of N. c. streams indicate that the 100-year flood eleva-
tion is not more than 8 feet above average water
levels in Richneck Creek and its tributaries. The
site is 70 to 80 feet ~ove these streams and not
subject to flooding.
Recharge of groundwater +esulting from su~-
face water infiltration and percolation is esti-
mated to be low. There should be no significant
fluctuation in water table elevations beneath the
ridge occupied by the disposal site. All features
on the site which enhance surface run-off reduce
groundwater recharge. Rapid run-off and ti).e rela-
tivelr small area of gently sloping ridge crest
minimizes the volume.of precipitation available
for infiltration and recharge. The close proximity
of 2 deep draws for ground water discharge and the
relative low retention and water storage capacity
of deep subsurface weathered rock (silty sand and
sandy silt) indicates a low potential for buildup
of any significant hydraulic head or water table
below the ridge. The net effect of constructing
impermeable barriers on the ridge crest and divert-
ing any off-site surface water will be to further
reduce the potent~al for mounding of groundwater
below the site. .
Precipitation aata from the U. s. Weather
Bureau Station at Arcola in Warren County indicated,
that at the time of the September study, rainfall
in Warren County was approximately SX greater than
the preceding 5 year average. There were no
observed evidence of reduced soil colors or mottling
of soil colors to jndicate the presence of a
permanent water table. At the time of the boring,
no water table was observed at the 42 foot depth. It is concluded that the water encountered in the
September study was a result of normal vertical
movement of percolating surface water rather than
ground water tables.
16
Representative Bydrographs of wells in Warren County indicate that during September ground water
levels are declining. Ground water levels are at maximum elevations during the period from January
to April. Borings performed during Februarr i, 1979 by the consulting firm of Soil & Material
Engineers Inc. indicated a static water level of
~pproximately 303 1 to 306' in elevation or 37 to
32 feet below land surface. Boring depths were 45' below land surface. In the Warren Section of the report title "Geology and Ground Water R~sources in the Raleigh Area", compiled by the u. s. Geolo-gical Survey, the static water level of well
number 122 was measured to be 47' below land surface. For location of well number 122 see Figure 3. This well is similar to the disposal site borings with respect to elevation, topographic
position and time of water level recordation. Bydrographs of observations wells in Warren County show ground water fluctuations from approximately
S to 11 feet. The study conducted by the firm Soils & Materials Engineers Inc. was carried out during the middle portion of maximum seasonal
fluctuation of 9round water.· The measured elevation of groundwater 1n February, 1979, was 303 to 306 feet. Ground water elevations could be predicted to rise an additional S to 6 feet. The predicted highest ground water elevation would be 309 to 312 feet. Maximum surface elevation in the disposal area is 343 feet. The highest predicted water table elevation is 31 feet below land surface which would allow a maximum excavation depth. of 24' to remain 7 1 from the high wa~er table elevations. Construction of a clay liner would afford a 14 foot separation from the high water elevation.
c. Soil Conditions
Soils on the aite are characterized within the standardized engineering concept of surficial
earth materials. Procedures established by the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASBO) and the American Society for Testing
Materials (ASTM) were utilized for soil evaluation. The N. c. De~artment of Transportation and Soil & Material Engineers, Inc. independently evaluated site conditions and performed pertinent field and laboratory analysis on materials obtained from 19
soil borings in the disposal area ..
Surficial soils on the site consists of red-brown silty clays. The top soil on the site
is significantly eroded but where present extends to a depth of 3 to 6 inches. Subsoils are clayey
17
I '--
and silty and extend to depths of 38 to 45 feet.
In general, a gradual transition exist between
upper silty clays and deeper clayey silt.s~ Obser-
vations of soil borings on site indicate that t.he
clayey silts grade into sandy silts and silty
sands. The general stratifications of clays
overlying silts which grade to fine sands is typi-
cal of the Piedmont province. Detailed analysis
of the soil materials were performed by the N. c.
Department of Transpor~ation laboratory and Soil &
Material Engineers, I~c. ~he two laboratory
analysis indicated an upper layer of clayey soils
ranging in depth from Oto 38 feet below land
surface. Soils at the 45' maximum drilling depth
were classified as silty sands and sandy silts.
Standard Engineeri"------oratory tests for
maximum density at optimum moisture and permeabi-
lity at 95 and 100 percent maximum density were
performed on the soils. At 97% maximum density
the permeability of 1.9 x 10-cm/sec and minimum
permeability of 1.8 x 10-~ cm/sec. At 100 percent
maximum ~,nsity no permeability was greater than
1.0 x 10 cm/sec, 'tbe 8 acres encompassed by de-
tailed soil borings and analysis demonstrates that So,ooo to ?s,ooo cubic yards ol clayey materials
lie available to construct highly impermeable soil
nv1ronmental Profile
The proposed disposal site occurs on open,
rolling cultivated land presently utilized for
soybean production. In addition to the soybeans,
various weeds and grasses have been observed
growing on the proposed disposal site and include
such species as foxtail, ground .cherry, thistle,
broomsedge, ragweed, aster, and horseweed. Mixed
deciduous hardwoods in association with pine occur
on the periphery of the soybean field. Oaks in-
cluding white, southern red, blac, and post, red
maple, sweetgum, tulip poplar, hickory and loblolly
pine are the major canopy species present. Under-
story species consists of redbud, dogwood, American
holly, red cedar, and winged sumac scattered among
small shrubs, saplings and vines -primarily
honeysuckle.

II. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION
AND THEIR POTENTIAL IHP.'\CTS
Procedures Utilized to Evaluate Alternative
Disposal site Locations
The North Carolina Department of auman Resources,
Division of Health Services conducted a site search for
potential land areas that would be suitable for the permanent
storage of the PCB contaminated soil. The objective of the
investigaticn was to evaluate available State and offered
private property for potential usage as disposal sites. It
was anticipated that several suitable sites could be located.
A set of general guidelines was developed ··to assist in the
evaluation of potential sites.
The following is an outline of general site criteria
and EPA technical re~irements utilized in the location and
evaluation of potential disposal sites for the PCB contami-
nated soil.
1. General Area of Potential Site Locations
The search for potential disposal sites was gen-
erally limited to an area bounded by the counties where
the PCB spills had occurred. Areas east of the spills
were generally eliminated due to evidence of seasonal
high ground water levels relatively close to land sur-
face. Potential sites in areas of the western portion
of the State were given a low priority due to the long
haul distances.
2. General Site Screening & Evaluation Procedures
(a) Site Relief
A PCB chemical waste landfill should be loca-
ted in an area that provides low to mode;,t; ~opg;-
1ra2hic relief to prevent landslides ors umping.
eria! photographs,· U. s. Geological survey topo-
graphy maps and field measured elevations were
utilized to evaluate site relief suitability.
Sites with potential of land slumping resulting
from required construction activity were rejected.
(b) Topographic Position
Hill, flat, slope and draw are the four basic
topographic positions for surface features. Wells
installed on hill or ridge positions normally
exhibit the lowest average yield of 9round water
per foot of well. Hill or ridge positions are
also amenable to diversion of surface water and
control of local recharge to ground water by
19
minimizing areas available for recharge. Hilltop
and ridge were assigned a high priority for topo-
graphic position. Sites predominated by draws or
difficult to manage slope position were rejected.
U. s. Geological Survey topographic maps and
on-site evaluations were used to determine topogra-
phic position suitability.
(c) Soils
Surficial soils are formed by weathering of
subsurface geological rock formations. The charac-
teristics of the surficial soils are determined by
the chemical and physical properties of underlying
rock formations. Therefore, detailed geological
maps of specific areas and State and County soil
surveys were used to delineate sites with poten-
tially suitable soils. Site specific surface
evaluations, soil borings and field & laboratory
testing of soil materials were performed on sites
with reasonable probability of meeting the hi9h
silt and clay content parameters for PCB chemical
waste landfills. Sites with sandy surface soils,
rock outcrops or exposed boulders, surficial soils
with shallow depth to bed rock and insufficient
on-site soils for clay liners were rejected.
Surficial soils contained within the landfill site
which could not meet the following EPA technical
requirements were rejected. ·
(1) permeability 1.0 x 10-7 cm/sec.
(2) percent passing no. 200 seive230
(3) plasticity index2:1S
(d) Hydrology
Potential contamination of ground or surface
water were major considerations for screening all
sites. Any site that could not be designed to
prevent hydraulic cbnnection between the PCB con-
taminated soils and surface streams or springs and
ground water was rejected. Sites within the .
100-year floodplain, within close proximit¥ of a
class I or II reservoir utilized as a public water
supply or within½ mile of an A-II stream as de-
signated by the D.E.M. were rejected. A separa-
tion distance of 500 feet from the site and water
supply wells was used as a ·site screening para-
·meter. The depth to ground water would limit the
depth of excavation and total storage volume of a
given site. The standard for site evaluations
with respect to ground water separation was 50
feet. It was acknowledge during the site evalua-
tion process that the probability of locating
20
-sites with ground water levels below 50' from land
surface would be difficult if not impossible~
Therefore, sites were screened according to the
predicted or measured minimum depth from land
surface to the upper limits of 9round water tables.
Transmissivity, gradients and discharge areas for
ground water were considered in site evaluations.
Ground water fluctuations were predicted from
data generated by U. s. Geological Survey publi-
. cations on geology and ground water resources and
field observations or measurements. Predicted,
observed or measured upward fluctuation of ground
water resulting in relatively &hallow water tables
would cause a site to be rejected. Rainfall and
evaporation data from the U. S. Weather Bureau in
combination with U. s. Geological Re~orts and
field measurements were used to predict the maximum :
upper fluctuation from the measured static water
levels on sites that were drilled.
(e) Site Size
The disposal site for ·the PCB contaminated
soil should be large enough to allow adequate con-
struction and protection of the disposal area.
Considerations for sizing a site include: con-
struction of disposal pit; storage area for stock-
piling borrow materials to allow separation of
earth liner, topsoils, leachate collection and
spoil materials; access and turn around area for
haul vehicles, separate sedimentation ponds for
runoff from disposal pit and soil stockpile areas;
areas for installation of monitoring wells up
gradient and down gradient of disposal pit; berms
or ditching for diversion of surface water and a
buffer and security zone. A minimum 16-20 acres
in a fairly regular configuration was the rejection
criteria for site size.
(f) Access
Sites with deeded right-of-ways were assigned
higher priority than sites with no road frontage,
no deeded right-of-wars or property access by easement. Consideration was also given to the
length and construction difficulty of access roads
from state maintained roads to the disposal pit.
(g) Isolation of Site
Population densities within 1 mile of proposed
sites and sites which would require transportation
of the PCB contaminated soil through highly popu-
21
-
B.
lated areas were considered for site evaluations.
The objective of this standard was to locate·sites
which would impact the least number of citizens
during transportation and disposal~
Alternative Sites Evaluated
1. Total Sites Evaluated
The above outlined standards were utilized to
evaluate approximately 90 sites in 20 counties. Every
available tract of state-owned land considered to be a
possible candidate as a site to receive PCB contaminated
soil was investigated. These included properties
assigned to the National Guard, institutions, tower
sites, prison property experimental farms, state parks,
state forests, utility-owned property and properties
under Department of Transportation jurisdiction.
Federal property on the Fort Bragg military reservation
was also evaluated. · ·
The remaining sites were offered for evaluation by
private individuals and corporations, and county govern-
ments.
2. Site Rejection
Approximately 90 percent of all potential sites
were eliminated due to violation of one or a combination
of evaluation standards. A majority of the sites were
eliminated due to the location with respect to private
or public water supply reservoirs, intakes and wells;
high water tables and unsuitable soil characteristics.
The range of site evaluations included sites from 1.5
to 1300 acres; soils from highly impermeable saturated
marine clay materials in Wilson County and impermeable
clay stone pits in the Triassic Basin to sand dune sur-
ficial deposits on the Fort Bragg Military Reservation.
Water table elevations varied from 3' to greater than
40' below land surface.· Topographic positions varied
from relatively flat areas to areas with greater than
30 degree side slopes and population densities from a
few homes per square mile to hundreds within a mile of
the site.
Eleven of the total available sites were considered
to have a high probability for meeting the criteria for
PCB chemical landfills. Detailed soil borings and sub-
surface investigations were made on these eleven sites.
Table II lists these eleven sites. Sites in Franklin
County, the Nash County Prison Site, the Wake county
Prison Site, Chatham County Brick Plant site and the
Barnett County O.O.T. Borrow Pit site were rejected
from subsurface investigations. The remaining 6 sites
22
• •
in Person, Warren, Nash, Wake, Chatham and Granville
Counties were evaluated by EPA and State personnel.
Consideration was given to multiple site distribution
by development of these sites; however 4 of the sites
were rejected and more detailed subsurface analysis
were required on the Chatham and Warren sites.
Maximum density, ~ermeability at 95% maximum dry
density and optimum moisture tests, volume of material
suitable for clayey liners and water table monitoring
test were performed on the Chatham and Warren sites.
Both sites afforded essentially equivalent evaluations.
The Chatham County site was unavailable for purchase by
the State for development as a PCB chemical landfill
and therefore rejected from further considerations.
In order to increase the disposal site alternatives
requests were made by the State to County Boards of
Commissioners for permission to evaluate existing sani-
tary. landfill sites as potential sites for disposal of
the PCB contaminated soil. Table III illustrates the
result of subsurface evaluations for suitable soil
materials and water table elevations. The sanitary
landfill sites were either unsuitable for development
or were unavailable for deyelopment as a PCB chemical
landfill.
3. Selected Site
Of the six most suitable sites located in Nash,
Person, Wake, Granville, Chatham and Warren counties
the Warren County site on SR 1604 demonstrated the
least restrictions and the greatest degree of protec-
tion of the public health and environment. Additional
tests were performed by an independent consulting firm
to confirm the state's evaluation of the site. Appli-
cation was made to EPA for site approval for this site
to be developed into a disposal site for the PCB con-·
taminated soil. Site and conceptual plan approval was
granted.

Disposal Site
The proposed disposal site is located in the northeastern North Carolina
Piedmont Plateau of Warren County, approximately four miles south of
Warrenton. (See Maps).
The proposed disposal site consists of approximately 142 acres of which
about five acres will be used for the actual disposal of the soil contaminated
with PCBs. The remaining acreage will serve as a buffer zone for the disposal
area.
Surface water discharges are controlled by the topographic position of
the land. The proposed disposal area occupies the crest of a gently ■loping
upland ridge which has 70 to 80 feet of relief. Surface water discharge from
the site is toward aeven draws located in a radial pattern around the site.
Two large draws immediately Northeast, and West of the site receive the major
portion of surface run-off. Exposed clayey aubaoils, topographic position and
side slopes tend to minimize surface water infiltration and maximize surface
water run-off.
Surface water discharge is to Richneck Creek and an unnamed tributary
to Richneck Creek via draws around the site. Richneck Creek discharges to
Fishing Creek. The confluence of Richneck and Fishing Creek is approximately
3 milea downstream and Southeast of the Warrenton raw water intake. Stream
classifications for Richneck Creek and Fishing Creek in the discharge area
is class C. Approximately 40 miles separate the site discharge area and the
closest raw water intake.
U.S. Geological Survey Flood Records of N. C. streams indicate that the
100-year flood elevation is not more than 8 feet above average water levels
in Richneck Creek and its tributaries. The site is 70 to 80 feet above these
streams and not subject to flooding.
Recharge of ground-water resulting from aurface water infiltration and
percolation is estimated to be low. There ahould be no signficant fluctuation
in water table elevations beneath the ridge occupied by the disposal site.
All features on the ■ite which enhance surface run-off reduce ground-water
recharge. Rapid run-off and the relatively amall area of gently eloping ridge
crest minimizes the volume of precipitation available for infiltration and
recharge. The close proximity of 2 deep draws for ground-water discharge and
the relative low retention and water storage capacity of deep aubsurface
·weathered rock (silty ■and and aandy silt) indicates a low potential for build-
up of any aignificant hydraulic head or water table below the ridge. The net
effect of constructing impermeable barrier■ on the ridge crest and diverting
any off-aite 8Urface water will be to further reduce the potential for 1110unding
of &round-water below the aite.
Subaurface boring, performed during February 1, 1979 by th• conaulting
firm of Soil & Material Engineer ■, Inc. indicated a 1tatic water level of
approximately 303' to 306' in elevation or 37 to 32 feet below land 8Urface.
The study conducted by the firm Soils & Materials Engineer,, Inc. wa■ carried
out during the middle portion of maximum seasonal fluctuation of ground-water.
The measured elevation of ground-water in February, 1979, was 303 to 306 feet.
Ground-water elevations could be predicted to rise an additional 5 to 6 feet.
The predicted highest around-water elevation would be 309 to 312 feet.
Maximum surface elevation in the disposal area is 343 feet. The highest
predicted water table elevation is 31 feet below land surface which would
allow a maximum excavation depth of 24' to remain 7' from the high water table
elevations. Construction of a clay liner would afford a 14 foot aeparation
from the high water elevation.
Surficial soils on the site consists of red-brown silty clays. The top
■oil on the site is significantly eroded but where present extends to a depth .
of 3 to 6 inches. Subsoil ■ are clayey and silty and extend to depths of 38 to
45 feet. In general, a gradual transition exist between upper silty clays and
deeper clayey silts. Observations of soil borings on site indicate that the
clayey silts which grade to.fine sands is typical of the Piedmont province.
Detailed analyses of the soil materials were performed by the N.C. Department
of Transportation laboratory and Soil & Material Engineers, Inc. The two
laboratory analyses indicated an upper layer of clayey soils ranging in depth
from Oto 38 feet below land surface. Soils at the ,s• maximum drilling depth
were classified as silty sands and sandy silts.
Standard Engineering laboratory tests for maximum density at optimum
moisture and permeability at 95 and 100 percent maximum density were performed
on the soils. At 95% maximum density the permeability of 1.9 x 10-7 cm/sec
and minimum permeability of 1,8 x 10-8 cm/sec. At 100% maximum density no
permeability was greater than 1.0 x 10-7 cm/sec. The 8 acres encompassed by
detailed soil borings and analysis demonstrates that 50,000 to 75,000 cubic
yards of clayey materials are available to construct highly impermeable soil
liners.

B. Background Information
The first deliberate discharge of what was later identified .as PCB liquid .
materials took place the last week of June. 1978, on remote roads of the 'Fort
Bragg Military Reservation. The discharge was investigated by Fort Bragg
personnel who secured liquid samples of the material. The next discharge
occurred on July 27 and July 29 on the roadway shoulders bn NC 58, north of
Centerville in Warren County. This discharge was reported by pr(vate citizens
to the N, C. Highway Patrol, who alerted the Division of Health Services, Water
Supply Branch. Water Supply Branch personnel notified Division of Environmental
Management, Water . Quality Program personnel in the Raleigh Field Office of the
spills, Raleigh Field Office personnel investigated the spill on July 31 as
an oil spill and on finding no oil ponded or evidence in surface waters, returned
to their office without taking further action.
On August 2, the Water Quality Operations Br,Dch, Division of Environmental
Management, received a call from a Johnston County farmer concerning a spill on
NC 210 in front of his farm. Because of the description of the odor and the
effects on field workers being reported. a ataff chemist was immediately dispatched
to investigate the spill and to take appropriate samples. Grass, soil, and water
samples were hand delivered to the Division of Environmental Management Laboratory
for analysis later that afternoon. August 2, The same chemist who investigaied
the Johnston County spill encountered a similar ■pill near Snow Camp, North
Carolina on SR 1004, Alamance County. while returning to his home. A sample was
taken from the spill area and hand delivered to the laboratory the foll.wing
morning for analysis.
On August 4, the Laboratory's Analytical Section Chief notified the Water
Quality Operations Branch that the material spilled in Johnston County app.ared
to be Aroclor-1260, a Polychlorin~ted Biphenyl (PCB) substance. The Water Quality
Operations Branch immediately notified the Chief of the Environmental Protection
Agency, Region lV, Emergency Response Branch, of the Laboratory'• findings. After
briefing the Director, Division of Environmental Management, a meetin& was called
with representatives of the Attorney General'• Office, the Department of Crime
Control and Public Safety, and Public Information representatives of the Secretary
of the Dep11rtment of Natural Resources and Community Development. A notification
to all all enforcement officiala was prepared and sent over the Police Information
Network syatem during the late evening hour• of August 4. A news release was
prepared and sent to local newspapers for publication in the Saturday morning
newspaper. The aame day, the laboratory confirmed material di1charaed in
Alamance and Chatham Counties was Aroclor-1260, the aame form of PCB material
found in Johnaton and Harnett Counties, Aho on August 4, the N .• C. Highway
Patrol delivered ■611 aamplea obtained from Chatham County to EPA. The results
of the EPA laboratory analy1i1 were reported to SBI on August 8.
On Auauat 5, Water Quality Operations Branch met with concerned citizens
in Johnston County, inveatigated the spill areas in Johnaton and Harnett Counties,
and con,.•ted a ·,door-to-c!oor coetact with people reaUial alqna NC 210. Because
of concern by aome re1ident• along NC 210, the Oiviaion of g11tn,,ay, Department
of Transportation va1 requeated to cover the 1pill with a 1a1er of aand in order·
to 1uppress the noxioua odora preaent. Thi• was completed in late afternoon

State personnel in attendance were from the Division of Health Services,
Natural Resources and Community Development, Department of Agriculture, and
the Department of Transportation. Industrial users of PCBs were represented
by a person from Carolina Power and Light. The purpose of this meeting was
to assess the immediate risks to the persons who live along the spill routes
and to discuss the safety of those persons who would be participating in the
removal and storage of the PCB contaminated soil.
On September 6, 13, and 19 alternative methods of removing soil from the
roadway shoulders were conducted on noncontaminated sections of roadway shoulders.
~'hen the soil removal procedure had been formulated a test removal operation
was conducted. The test removal operation was performed on October 5, 1978 on
a one mile PCB contaminated section of NC 58 near Inez on Warren County. The
PCB contaminated soil obtained during the test removal operation has been
temporarily stored at a disposal site in Uarren County. The purpose of the
test was to examine the practicality of picking up the contaminated material
as well as any possible health or environmental effects. On November 6 1 test
results indicated that the pick up of contaminated shoulder material was not
harmful to the environment or personnel,
On September 29, 1978, Governor James B. Hunt's request for assistance
from the Federal District Assistance Administration, Department of Housing
and Urban Development was denied. On October 4, North Carolina officials
were notified by the Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Department of
Transportation, that the request for emergency relief funds was denied.
During the month of December a Draft Negative Declaration was prepared
pursuant to the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act. The statement was
sent to State Clearinghouse on December 21, 1q7e for circulation. Comments
received on the Draft Negative Declaration requested an EIS be prepared.
Therefore, a Final Negative Declaration was not prepared.
On December 12, an application was filed with EPA for approval of the
Warren County site for placement of contaminated PCB material. On January 4,
1979 a hearing was held on the Warren County site at the National Guard Armory.
During the period January 25-31, 1979 additional soil Ramples were taken
by the Division of Environmental Management to 1ubstantiate the location of the
contaminated material and determine if any migration had occurred. Test
results indicated that the material was present and had not migrated. On
January 29, 1979, a meeting was held in Washington, D. C. between representa-
tives of the State of North Carolina and EPA officials to discuss the current
PCB regulations and to discuss alternative solutions. On February 6, the state
of North Carolina filed petition with EPA to amend the rules under the Toxic
Substances Control Act to allow consideration of alternate methods of
treatment,
On February 15, 1979, a test was run on a contaminated ■ection of NC 210
in Johnston County and on March 22, on a contaminated section of SR 1004 in
Alamance County to determine the feasibility of utilizing the theory of fCB
fixation with activated carbon.
On June 4, 1979, the EPA Administrator, Douglas Castle, ruled against
the petition of February 6 to change the regulations to allow consideration
of alternate methods of treatment. The Region IV EPA Administrator, John
White, on June 4, .1979 approved the State's application to construct a land-
fill in Warren County for disposal of the PCB contaminated soil.
Definition of PCBs1
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are a class of chlorinated, aromatic
compounds which have found widespread application because of their general
stabilities and dielectric properties. PCBs have been prepared industrially
since 1929 and are now produced in many foreign industrial countries. The
Monsanto Company's preparations of PCBs were termed "the Aroclors". Produc-
tion of PCBs ceased in the United States in mid 1977.
The outstanding physical and chemical characteristics of PCBs are their
thermal stabilities, resistance to oxidation, acid, bases, and other chemical
agents as well as their excellent dielectric (electrically insulating) proper-
ties. These ~nd other properties have led to numerous uses of PCB such as
dielectric fluids (in capacitors and transformers), industrial fluids (use in
hydraulic systems, gas turbines, and vacuum pumps), and plasticizers (adhesives,
textiles, surface coating, sealants, printing, and copy paper).
PCBs were prepared industrially by the chlorination of biphenyls with
anhydrous chlorine, using iron filing or ferric chloride as catalysts. The
crude product was generally purified to remove color, traces of hydrogen
chloride, and catalyst which was usually achieved by treatment with alkali
and distillation. The resulting product was a complicated mixture of chloro-
phenyls with different numbers of chlorine atoms per molecule. (Thia fact
is responsible for the physical state of PCB preparations). ?lost individual
chlorophenyls are solid at room temperature whereas commercial mixtures
are mobile oils.
The most important physical properties of PCBs from an envoronmental
point-of-view are solubility and vapor pressure. The solubility of PCBs in
water is low and decreases with increasing chlorine content. Values given by
Monsanto are 200 ppb (parts per billion) for Aroclor 1242, 100 ppb for
Aroclor 1248, 40 ppb for Aroclor 1254, and 25 ppb for Aroclor 1260. Studies
on the solubility of PCB in water are complicated by the fact that these
compounds are strongly aorbed onto various surfaces. PCB has been ahown to
sorb relatively rapidly onto charcoal, plastic, glass, and silt or soil
particles.
PCBs have a high apecific gravity (Aroclor 1260/1.500! and
high density (Aroclor 1260 weighs 13.50 lbs./gallon at 25 C).

four groundwater monitoring wells will be constructed and located
North, South, East, and West of the landfill. The groundwater wells will be
monitored in accordance with 44 FR 761.41(6) standards. Base line groundwater
quality will be established by sampling the groundwater wells on one week
intervals for 3 weeks. Groundwater Base line groundwater quality will be
determined during construction and prior to receiving contaminated soil.
Four permanent surface water monitoring stations will be located to
determine water quality. Two receiving streams will be_ monitored, Richard
Creek on the northern site perimeter and an unamed ttibutary to Richard Creek
on the southern perimeter. Two stations, one on each stream, will be located
up gradient from any site surface run-off event. !wo stations, one on each
stream, will be located immediately down gradient from the site and through
which all flow from surface runoff events will pass. Representative surface
water and sediment samples will be monitored at each station in accordance
with 44 FR 761.41 (6) parameters. [xcluded from analyses are chlorinated
organics as indicated in a letter to Governor Hunt from John White {EPA
Regional Administrator) dated 4, June, 1979.
Twelve groundwater, 12 surface water, and 12 sediment samples will be
monitored for· base line data.
Three sets of samples will be obtained from each ground and surface
water monitoring point on 30-day intervals during construction. Each set
will consist of 1 sample from each groundwater well and 2 (water and sediment)
from each surface water station.

UL '1 1982
Groundwater monitoring wells have recently been installed at the
Warren County PCD Landfill as part of its construction activity. While
apparently meeting EPA standards, they do not conform to North Carolina
Standards which require additional grouting and use of a bentonite
seal above the well screen. I am requesting that North Carolina be al-
lowed to install four additional groundwater monitoring wells to replace
the four existing unsatisfactory groundwater monitoring wells. These
replacement wells will be:
l) Installed within 10 feet of the existing wells.
2) Installed with a bentonite seal above the well screen.
3) Installed with grout extending from land surface to the top of
the bentonite seal.
4) Screened so as to provide monitoring capability for at least
the top ten feet of the surficial saturated zone at its lowest
expected elevation.
5)
6)
Developed using drilling mud or revert as approved on June 24,
1982 via field letter (Tom Karnoski -N. C. Solid and Hazardous
Waste Management Branch to Robert Boone -Sverdrup & Parcel).
Installed as soon as possible.
Mr. Charles Jeter

7) Wells will be clearly labeled as monitor wells, not to be used
as a source of water supply .
8) Sampled (2 replicates) to assure background quality data is
similar to background samples collected from the original wells
prior to any waste disposal. If background water quality deviates
from that of the original wells, a new background water quality
data base line must be established for the new wells as originally
required and prior to any waste disposal.
Upon acceptance of the new wells, the original wells will be abandoned
in accordance with North Carolina standards.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Re: N.C. Superfund Project -PCB Landfill
Dear Mr. Jeter:
The installation of four replacen~nt groundwater monitoring wells
as requested by my letter of July 2, 1982 is currently being completed.
On the morning of August 6 the well driller discovered the open hole
that extended into the groundwater and was to replace monitoring well
#2 had been vandalized. The vandalism consisted of the placement of
dried cement, creosote treated lumber, and other foreign matter into
the open hole and the saturated zone. Efforts to retrieve these
materials were unsuccessful and the well driller relocated in close
proximity to the original well as required in condition fl of the July 2
request.
On August 10 Tom Karnosk1 of the Solid and Hazardous Waste
Management Branch, North Carolina Department of Human Resources con-
tacted Don Hunter of your staff to determine if this vandalized hole
could affect the sampling integrity of monitoring well #2. It was Mr.
Hunter's opinion that the backfilling of the hole with cement to the
ground surface would minimize any impact on the replacement well. This
remedial action would also satisfy North Carolina Regulations concerning
abandonment of wells. Instructions have been given to the well driller
to close the hole.

Introduction
FINAL REPORT
PCB WASTE DISPOSAL SITE
VARR!N COUNTY
The deci1ion to remove the approximately 40,000 cubic yard ■ of PCB
contaminated •oil along public roads by the state of North Carolina was based
upon the availability of a secure disposal facility. Such a facility is
regulated under the Toxic-Substances Control Act (TSCA) administered by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency.
The State of North Carolina applied for permission to utilize a 140-acre
tract of land, owned by the State and located in Warren County, to construct,
operate, and maintain an Annex II PCB Landfill. The site and operational J
plans were approved conditionally by the Environmental Protection Agency in
correspondence dated June 4, 1979. Additional conditions were added on
December 14, 1981.
Pre-Operation Pha1e Activitie•
The North Carolina Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Branch was chosen
by the PCB Remedial Action Project coordinators in the Department of Crime
Control and Public Safety to ensure construction and environmental monitoring
compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's approval conditions.
Thi• was made clear in a pre-construction meeting located at the site on June
10, 1982.
Of primary importance in pre~operation activities was the establishment of
background data on groundwater and surface water around the site. This ia
imperative for any long-term environmental monitoring program associated with
1uch disposal facilities. The initial groundwater monitoring wells were
constructed according to the Environmental Protection Agency approved
standards when general site construction ■tarted (June 21, 1982). These wells
were found to be unsatisfactory by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management and replacement wells were installed, with the
Environmental Protection Agency's approval the first week of July. One of
these replacement wells was vandalized on August 5, 1982, and was again
reinstalled. The Environmental Protection Agency stated that the .. closing
out" of unusable groundwater monitoring using cement would not jeopardize the
collection of representative groundwater samples from monitoring wells in the
immediate vicinity. Groundwater and surface water background chemical data
was collected using the Environmental Protection Agency-approved methodologies
and analytical techniques (see attachment I).
Vandals damaged the 30-mil PVC liner on August 21 or August 22, 198,r.~
Repairs were made and certified by a representative of the liner supplier.
The Environmental Protection Agency inspected the repair work on August 27,
1982, and gave verbal approval at that time to continue construction.
Inspections by the North ,Carolina Division of Environmental Management to
ensure compliance with North Carolina Sedimentation and Erosion Control Laws
were conducted on August 3, 1982, and August 25, 1982 (see attachments II and
III).
Measurements of in-place saturated hydraulic conductivities of the clay
liner were taken on September 12, 1982, in accordance with Environmental
Protection Agency permit conditions. All measurements showed the liner to
meet or exceed regulatory requirement (see attachment IV).
Operation Ph••• Activities
[
Placement of the contaminated soil into the prepared landfill commenced on
September 15, 1982. The last load of contaminated soil was delivered on
November 17, 1982. The total volwne of contaminated soil was estimated at just
under the projected 40,000 cubic yards. An attempt to calculate the average
concentrations of PCB in the contaminated soil was made on October 7, 1982,
following advice given by Mr. Ralph Jennings, Toxic Substances Section,
Environmental Protection Agency. Composite samples were collected at six
locations in the contaminated soil fill. Each sample consisted of a composite
of material from six foot deep borings. The average concentration of PCB's in
the landfill•• determined by the October 7, 1982, sampling event was 135 ppm
(see attachment V).
Operational phase monitoring of groundwater, surface water, and surface
water sediments was conducted on October 5, 1982, and October 28, 1982 (see
attachment I).
Post-Operational Phase Activities
Final placement of the topsoil covering over the clay and PVC cap was
impeded by wet weather conditions. The North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management inspected the landfill for compliance with erosion
control regulations on November 5, 1982 and November 17, 1982 (see attachment
11). The lack of an adequate stabilized topsoil cover resulted in the
uncovering of the PVC cap due to accelerated erosion during January, 1983.
The lack of the topsoil covering's weight on the PVC cap allowed decomposition
gases to accumulate in bubbles under the PVC cap instead of being forced
through the gas vent located at a single location at the center of the
landfill. These bubbles w~re pierced and temporary venting pipes installed to
prevent gas buildup until weather conditions allowed the contractor to repair
the PVC cap and finish the placement of topsoil.
Analyses of gases venting from the single permanent vent and the temporary
vents by the North Carolina Department of Human Resources and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency showed them to consist primarily of
methane with concentrations of PCB'• far below OSHA standards.
Post-operational phase environmental monitoring of groundwater, surface
water, and surface water sediments was permformed on November 29, 1982, and
Hay 16, 1983. Identical monitoring events will occur each November and Hay ~
until the United States Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator

Environmental Monitoring of the PCB Disposal Facility
ST A TE HEAL TH DIRECTOR
Environmental monitoring of the PCB disposal facility to identify releases
from the landfill consism of select sampling and analyses of groundwater,
surface water, and surface water sediments. Analytical parameters dictated
by EPA are pH, specific conductivity, and total PCB for groundwater and
surface water and total PCB for surface water sediments. All sampling,
analytical, ·and security chain ·of·· custody procedures rigidly follow EPA
and N. C. Division of Health Services accepted methodologies.
Locations of the four groundwater monitoring wells were designated by EPA
•• were the four 1urface water and 1urface water sediment sampling points
(see attachment). ·

A request to install replacement monitoring wells was made on July 2, 1982.
These replacement wells were completed on August 18, 1982. While exact
coordinates were not detennined, they are located within 10 feet of the original
wells. These replacement wells retain the identifying numbers of the original
wells. The original well casings were filled with cement from the bottom to
the ground surface.
On August 6, 1982 it was discovered that the half finished well 12 had been
vandalized with creosoted lumber. This vandalized hole was closed out by filling
it with cement from the bottom to the ground surface. The second replacement
well 12 was installed within 10 feet of the original well.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION'
. PINAL REPORT
PCB WASTE DISPOSAL SITE
. WARREN COUNTY
The PCB Waste Disposal Site is a hazardous waste · landfill,
• ' t .':
containing approximately 40,000 cubic yards of polychlorinated biphenyl
(PCB} contaminated soil, located in Warren County, North Carolina.
PERTINENT DATED
Contractor's bids for the construction of the site were opened on
January 21, 1982, and the contract was awarded to Jim Lineberger' s
Grading & Paving Inc., of Gastonia, NC on May 28, 1982. Construction
work began on June 21, 1982. Continuous heavy rains and vandalism of
the groundwater monitoring wells and the 30-mil PVC liner curtailed job
progress throughout the month of Augqst, and construction was not
;
completed to the stage necessary for PCB placement until September 15,
J ..
1982. NC DOT trucks began hauling PCB contaminated soil on from Fort
I
Bragg on · October 6, 1982, and finished on October 27, 1982.
Construction work was completed on July 14, 1983. The final inspection
of the completed project was conducted on July 15, 1983 and final
acceptance was on that date.
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE AND DESCRIPTION
Initially four groundwater monitoring wells were installed, located
north, south, east, and west of the landfill. These wells were
determined to be unsatisfactory, as designed and installed, by the NC
Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. Four

' ' .
wells •. ::These .. well• were vandalized during cona~ruction, and weri
r•p~ired or 1redrilled.-(: The well• utilized 4" PVC pipe and screens, with
lockable steel capa •. An earthen containment structure, 476' long and
232' wide . was · built · ,by excavating to bottom elevations sloping· from
elevation ,320 to 314, and filling to a berm elevation of 342. Side
slopes are 3: l on the north, west, and east sides, 5: 1 on the south.
Topsoil, clay, and silt materials excavated were stockpiled separately
for later,use •. A 9" layer of permeable sand was placed on this subgrade
aa a lower leachate collectio~ system, draining to a collection sump and
6" PVC extraction pipe in the northeast corner of the landfill. A
30-mil PVC liner, manufactured by Staff Industries of Detroit, Michigan,
was ins~ailed over this sand layer. This liner was slashed in 23 places
by vandals and was repaired by patching with additional liner material.
A one foot . thick.layer of compacted bridging fill was placed over the
30-mil PVC liner,,uaing previously stockpiled clay and silt materials •
. , An ! upper leachate collection system was placed above the clay
liner, using a 9". layer of ·per11eable sand, draining to a collection sump
and 6" PVC extraction pipe in the northeast corner of the landfill.
Aa final .preparation for the placement of PCB material~ a carbon
·filter system was installed. This system consisted of a sand filter,
carbon filter, and t~mporary holding pond, located just northeast of the
landfill. , The ., intent of the system was to treat excess rainwater
collected .in the diaposal area during PCB placement, but the system was
Alfl!>n
not used during construction because a'1:S.H.R. Discharge Permit had not
been obtained prior to construction. The system was left in place to
facilitate the :: State in removing water accumulated in the upper
leachate collection system during construction.

trucks,· and by Propst , Construction Company on contract with the
Department of , Defense; and placed and compacted by the construction
contractor, to · a final top elevation shown on the plans. The actual
volume of PCB material placed was approximately 40,000 cubic yards.
·,: A one foot thick layer of compacted bridging fill was placed over
the PCB soil, again utilizing previously stockpiled clay /silt
materials.
A two foot thick compacted clay liner was constructed over the
briding fill, using aele.ct clay material obtained from a second clay
borrow area on the site.
A 10-mil PVC liner, also manufactured by Staff Industries of
Detroit, Michigan, was installed over this clay liner and sealed to the
lower liner.
Another one foot thick layer of compacted bridging fill was placed
over the 10-mil PVC liner.
A 4" PVC pipe gas vent was installed, located at the center point
of the landfill.
The entire top surface of the landfill and the 5:1 outslopes were
then covered with a one foot thick layer of topsoil, utilizing material
previously ·removed and stockpiled. This area, and all adjacent
disturbed areas, were limed, fertilized, seeded, and mulched.
A steel chain-link fence, with steel posts was installed around the
p~rimeter of the disposal area.

RE: Volume of Soil Estimated in the PCB Landfill
The approximate volume of soil in the PCB landfill has been calculated. There is
approximately 36,500 cubic yards of material in the landfill. Assuming an average weight of
1.5 tons per cubic yard, there are approximately 54,750 tons of material in the landfill .
The volume and weight of the wet and dry soil that may be available was determined. The
amount of wet and dry soils in the landfill are conservatively estimated as:
Volume of Dry Soil-21,500 cubic yards
Volume of Wet Soil-15,000 cubic yards
METHODOLOGY
The average-end-area method of calculating the volume was employed. This method tends to
over estimate the actual volume, so it should represent a maximum amount of soil in the
landfill. The supplied drawings were consulted. It was assumed that the final contours were as
depicted and that the grading plan was the subgrade. Five feet were subtracted from the top
elevations to account for the closure cap system, and 7 feet were added to the grading plan
elevations to account for the leak detection layer, clay barrier layer and leachate collection·
system. Seven cross sections were chosen and the geometry plotted. Given the simple nature
of this design we were able to determine the area of right triangles . These areas were summed
and multiplied by two to account for the entire cross section of the landfill. The volume of soil
was estimated using the following formula:
V= L (Al+A2)/ 2 (27ft3 per yd3)
The weight of the soil was conservatively estimated by assuming that the soil has a unit weight
of 1.5 tons per cubic yard. The cross sections and calculations are attached.
Water level measurements in the landfill are available from two measurement points, the
leachate sump pipe and the gas vent well. The water level readings from the two points were
obtained and translated into an elevation. The two measurements are within six inches of each

other. The top nineteen feet (at the maximum point of the landfill) is dry, and the maximum
depth of saturated soil is ten feet.
The approximate volume and weight of soil which may be recovered from four cased wells,
each two feet in diameter was also determined. The wells were assumed to be evenly spaced
across the flat bottom portion of the landfill (i.e. no wells were located over sideslope
portions). Each well could yield:
Volume of soil in two foot diameter well,-91.11 cubic feet
Dry Weight of soil per well-89.48 pounds per cubic foot
Total Dry Weight of Soil from four wells -4 tons per well
The soil was assumed to have a dry denisty of 111 pounds per cubic foot. The weight of
saturated soil was adjusted to its dry weight equivalent. The adjusted density per well is 89 .48
pounds per cubic foot.
LIMITATIONS
The information and numbers generated herein are based upon commonly accepted engineering
methods. All of the drawings and measurements have been supplied by others and the resulting
information is as correct as the data supplied to us. The actual conditions and amount of
saturated and unsaturated soil within the landfill may vary, dependent upon the variance of the
actual conditions in the landfill. A reasonable dry weight and density of the soil was assumed
