Subject: Horizontal Expansion of Ash
Landfill, N.C. Permit No. 88-01
As we discussed on September 6th and, again, on October 2nd, the Ecusta
Division of the P.H. Glatfelter Company is requesting a horizontal con-
tiguous expansion of our ash landfill as described in North Carolina Permit
No. 88-01. This site was originally approved for the disposal of ash
generated from our coal-fired boilers located at Pisgah Forest in 1979. A
copy of this application is attached. We routinely test the leachate from
representative samples of the ash deposited of in this landfill according
to EPA's EP TOX and, more recently, TCLP procedures. These results were
used to complete the attached waste determination form (DRS Form 3151).
This information reverifies our earlier determination that the fly ash
generated at this facility is an inert solid waste.
The current fenced area of expansion is useless to Ecusta, the current
owner. This expansion of the existing landfill should permit continued
operation of the existing landfill for at least an additional five years
and was anticipated during the initial application. Therefore, the
geological and hydrogeological study and the operating plan contained
in the original application for the existing landfill is also applicable
to this extension.
The attached topographic map (USGS and 3515-W8237.5/7.5) shows the general
area where the expansion will occur. The existing landfill is colored blue
while the proposed expansion is in green. This drawing puts the current and
expanded landfill area in perspective with their surroundings. The proposed
expansion will add approximately two acres to the existing five-acre landfill.
Ecusta Drawing R-363-D more fully defines the location of the dikes, settling
ponds, its relationship to the nearest homes and other applicable details of
the existing landfill and its proposed expansion. Even with this expansion,
there will be a minimum of a SO-foot buffer between the disposal area and the
Page 2
Ecusta property line. It is approximately 1,900 feet from the Davidson River,
which is the nearest flowing stream and a minimum of 50 feet between the dis-
p~ar.ea-a~the nearest surface drainage ditch. As noted on Olin Drawing /C!~~6;=~: ~~~"ne)rest private dwelling and potable water well is approximately
~
A new erosion control pond will be developed in the southwest corner of the
proposed expansion. This pond will be constructed similarly to the original
erosion control pond. The erosion and sedimentation control plan for this
site will follow the guidelines contained in the 1988 edition of the "Erosion
and Sedimentation Control, Planning, and Design Manual" developed by the Soil
Sedimentation Control Commission, the North Carolina Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development, and the North Carolina Agricultural
Extension Service.
All ash placed in this expansion will be placed a minimum of four feet above
the seasonal water table. The expansion will be constructed so that it will
not restrict the flow of a 100-year flood, reduce the temporary water storage
capacity of the flood plain or result in the washout of solid waste. This
expansion will be bounded by a new dike or berm with a final slope of not
steeper than 3 to 1. The ash within this dike will be covered with a minimum
of 1 foot of suitable intermediate cover or 2 feet of suitably compacted earth
as a final cover and grassed. No more than 1 acre of fly ash fill surface is
expected to be exposed at any one time. All surface water shall be diverted
from the filled area into the new erosion control pond.
It is trusted that the enclosed information is adequate for your needs. We
request a response as rapidly as possible as we are eager to develop this
disposal operation before the end of the year. If you have any questions,
please feel free to call me at [phone].

Landfill Slide at Ecusta Paper Flyash Landfill
('Permit #88-01), Transylvania County
I was contacted by Bob Gussman, Director of Environmental Affairs at Ecusta
Paper on the morning of October 2, 1989. Mr. Gussman related to me that sometime
during the night of .September 30, 1989 the berm at the flyash landfill gave way;
causing the bulk of the material in the flyash cell to spill down the hillside.
He asked that we advise him of actions he needed to take concerning this matter.
I visited the site of the Ecusta paper Flyash Landfill on the morning of
October 3, 1989 and met with Bob Gussman. It appeared that at least 2/3 of the
material in the flyash landfill had shifted off the hillside into the low-lying
area below. The volume of fl.yash having moved from the cell, according to Bob
Gussman, was approximately 50,000 cubic yards. Mr. Gussman stated his immediate
plan was to: level down the flyash, move the flyash back 50 ' from Thrash Branch,
cover the fl.yash with soil to prevent blowing and stabilize the soil cover with
grass.
Upon seeing the tremendous volume of flyash associated with the slide , I
contacted the Raleigh Office.
Gary Ahlberg, Environmental Engineer from the Raleigh office, and I visited
the Ecusta Paper Flyash Landfill again on October 5, 1989 . It was decided after
conversations with Bob Gussman that he could, for the short term, proceed with
his plans to cover and stabilize the flyash which had moved from the cell. We
did recorrunend that DEM, Land Quality Section be contacted to approve the
remediation plan.
No long term plan was decided on at this meeting. We suggested that
Engineering, Ecusta Paper's consulting engineering firm, continue to try to
the reason for the shift and that future landfill operations would depend on
outcome of their findings.

RE: Coal Ash Monofill -Permit #88-01, "Slide Incident, 10/1/89"
Dear Mr. Gussman:
On October 3, Jim Patterson (Regional W.M. Specialist) responded
to your call regarding the referenced event. Apparently, heavy rains
contributed to the dramatic displacement of approximately 50,000
cubic yards of ash. Ecusta had equipment on-site and was taking
immediate action to contain the waste and minimize environmental
impacts to surface waters and the atmosphere.
On October 5, Mr. Patterson and Gary Ahlberg (Environmental
Engineer) investigated the area to assess the situation and determine
the immediate measures necessary to secure the waste. This letter
describes their assessment and outlines the requirements for
temporary mitigation. This is not to be construed as a permanent
solution.
Description of "Area"
1. Permit #88-01 was issued 6/15/79. It approves disposal of
coal ash within a delineated portion of the total 21.906
acre facility.
2. Available storage capacity was estimated to be
approximately 260,000 cubic yards, for an eight to ten year
active life.
3. Approximately 50,000 cubic yards of waste were displaced by
the "slide".
4. The limits of the waste extend beyond the permitted
facility boundary (to the west), but are within Ecusta's
property limits.
~1::. R. J, Gussman
October 13, 1989
Page 2
5. The closest dwelling and private well are approximately
100' from the Ecusta property line.
6. The Thrash Branch which originally traversed the permitted
area has been redirected and now flows along the western
property line. It is the closest surface water.
Temporary Mitigation
As discussed on-site and through telephone conversations, the
following measures shall be implemented immediately:
1. For the north and west limits of the slide, ash shall be
removed such that no ash is closer than 50 feet to the
Thrash Branch. As--i,;roposed, silt fence shall be installed
to contain the ash.
2. For the area bounded by the "North Dike" of the aeration
basin, ash shall be removed so that a surface water
drainage ditch can be installed between the "toe" of the
dike and the limits of the ash. A distinct separation
shall be established and maintained between the ash and the
drainage structure.
3. As proposed, erosion control mechanisms shall be installed.
Activities shall be coordinated with the Land Quality
Section.
4. To promote surface water run-off and prevent fugative dust
emissions, the displaced ash shall be graded, covered with
a minimum of six inches of soil and seeded.
5. The limits of the ash must be adequately marked following
placement of soil.
6. All activities shall be documented and coordinated with the
Solid Waste Section.
Written Report
Ecusta must submit a report by November 30, 1989 which contains
the following minimal information:
1. Blue-line reproductions of original Drawings No. R-363-D
and R-364-D, illustrating the features of the site prior to
the slide.
2. All information in regard to the redirection of the Thrash
Branch.
3. Description of the event and the immediate measures taken
to minimize impacts on the environment and public health.
4. An aerial photograph and/or survey of the area must be
completed (we understand the site has been flown) and a map
constructed which:
Mr. R.J. Gussman
October 13, 1989
Page 3
(a) illustrates existing topography
(b) delineates the permitted facility boundary, temporary
disposal area, the actual limits of the ash, and the
100-year flood plain
(c) locates spring intercepting drains, pipes, and other
drainage features shown on DRWG No. R-363-D
(d) locates private dwellings and wells within 500 feet of
the ash limits
(e) locates any other pertinent features.
5. A report defining the probable cause(s) of the slide must
be prepared. All supporting information shall be included.
Pursuant to your letter of 10/3/89, review of an amendment to
the existing permit will be contingent upon meeting the requirements
of this letter, the ability to adequately define the cause of the
slide, and compliance with any subsequent actions the Section may
require. Any plan must meet the requirements of 10 NCAC lOG.
Please advise Jim Patterson as you progress. If you have any
questions, please contact Gary Ahlberg at [phone].

Landfill Slide at Ecusta Paper Flyash Landfill
('Permit #88-01), Transylvania County
I was contacted by Bob Gussman, Director of Environmental Affairs at Ecusta
Paper on the morning of October 2, 1989. Mr. Gussman related to me that sometime
during the night of ,September 30, 1989 the berm at the flyash landfill gave way;
causing the bulk of the material in the flyash cell to spill down the hillside.
He asked that we advise him of actions he needed to take concerning this matter.
I visited the site of the Ecusta paper Flyash Landfill on the morning of
October 3, 1989 and met with Bob Gussman. It appeared that at least 2/3 of the
material in the flyash landfill had shifted off the hillside into the low-lying
area below. The volume of flyash having moved from the cell, according to Bob
Gussman, was approximately 50,000 cubic yards. Mr. Gussman stated his immediate
plan was to: level down the flyash, move the flyash back 50 ' from Thrash Branch,
cover the flyash with soil to prevent blowing and stabilize the soil cover with
grass.
Upon seeing the tremendous volume of flyash associated with the slide , I
contacted the Raleigh Office.
Gary Ahlberg, Environmental Engineer from the Raleigh office, and I visited
the Ecusta Paper Flyash Landfill again on October 5, 1989 . It was decided after
conversations with Bob Gussman that he could, for the short term, proceed with
his plans to cover and stabilize the flyash which had moved from the cell. We
did recommend that DEM, Land Quality Section be contacted to approve the
remediation plan.
No long term plan was decided on at this meeting. We suggested that
Engineering, Ecusta Paper's consulting engineering firm, continue to try to
the reason for the shift and that future landfill operations would depend on
outcome of their findings.

RE: Coal Ash Monofill -Permit #88-01, "Slide Incident, 10/1/89"
Dear Mr. Gussman:
On October 3, Jim Patterson (Regional W.M. Specialist) responded
to your call regarding the referenced event. Apparently, heavy rains
contributed to the dramatic displacement of approximately 50,000
cubic yards of ash. Ecusta had equipment on-site and was taking
immediate action to contain the waste and minimize environmental
impacts to surface waters and the atmosphere.
On October 5, Mr. Patterson and Gary Ahlberg (Environmental
Engineer) investigated the area to assess the situation and determine
the immediate measures necessary to secure the waste. This letter
describes their assessment and outlines the requirements for
temporary mitigation. This is not to be construed as a permanent
solution.
Description of "Area"
1. Permit #88-01 was issued 6/15/79. It approves disposal of
coal ash within a delineated portion of the total 21.906
acre facility.
2. Available storage capacity was estimated to be
approximately 260,000 cubic yards, for an eight to ten year
active life.
3. Approximately 50,000 cubic yards of waste were displaced by
the "slide".
4. The limits of the waste extend beyond the permitted
facility boundary (to the west), but are within Ecusta's
property limits.
~1::. R. J, Gussman
October 13, 1989
Page 2
5. The closest dwelling and private well are approximately
100' from the Ecusta property line.
6. The Thrash Branch which originally traversed the permitted
area has been redirected and now flows along the western
property line. It is the closest surface water.
Temporary Mitigation
As discussed on-site and through telephone conversations, the
following measures shall be implemented immediately:
1. For the north and west limits of the slide, ash shall be
removed such that no ash is closer than 50 feet to the
Thrash Branch. As--i,;roposed, silt fence shall be installed
to contain the ash.
2. For the area bounded by the "North Dike" of the aeration
basin, ash shall be removed so that a surface water
drainage ditch can be installed between the "toe" of the
dike and the limits of the ash. A distinct separation
shall be established and maintained between the ash and the
drainage structure.
3. As proposed, erosion control mechanisms shall be installed.
Activities shall be coordinated with the Land Quality
Section.
4. To promote surface water run-off and prevent fugative dust
emissions, the displaced ash shall be graded, covered with
a minimum of six inches of soil and seeded.
5. The limits of the ash must be adequately marked following
placement of soil.
6. All activities shall be documented and coordinated with the
Solid Waste Section.
Written Report
Ecusta must submit a report by November 30, 1989 which contains
the following minimal information:
1. Blue-line reproductions of original Drawings No. R-363-D
and R-364-D, illustrating the features of the site prior to
the slide.
2. All information in regard to the redirection of the Thrash
Branch.
3. Description of the event and the immediate measures taken
to minimize impacts on the environment and public health.
4. An aerial photograph and/or survey of the area must be
completed (we understand the site has been flown) and a map
constructed which:
Mr. R.J. Gussman
October 13, 1989
Page 3
(a) illustrates existing topography
(b) delineates the permitted facility boundary, temporary
disposal area, the actual limits of the ash, and the
100-year flood plain
(c) locates spring intercepting drains, pipes, and other
drainage features shown on DRWG No. R-363-D
(d) locates private dwellings and wells within 500 feet of
the ash limits
(e) locates any other pertinent features.
5. A report defining the probable cause(s) of the slide must
be prepared. All supporting information shall be included.
Pursuant to your letter of 10/3/89, review of an amendment to
the existing permit will be contingent upon meeting the requirements
of this letter, the ability to adequately define the cause of the
slide, and compliance with any subsequent actions the Section may
require. Any plan must meet the requirements of 10 NCAC lOG.
Please advise Jim Patterson as you progress. If you have any
questions, please contact Gary Ahlberg at [phone].
