Re: Ash Monofill
Permit No. 88-01
Transylvania County
Dear Mr. Coffey:
•
November 24, 1997
Certified
The Ash Monofill of P.H. Glatfelter Company's Ecusta Division at Pisgah Forest
is located contiguous to an existing permitted primary sludge landfill and a
large (approximately 350-million gallons) Aerated Stabilization Basin. This
landfill is only used for the disposal of ash generated during the combustion of
fossil fuels in our coal-fired boilers at Pisgah Forest. For more information on
this material, see either the "Solid Waste Management Plan" dated June 9,
1997, or my letter to you on "Industrial Landfills -Transylvania County" dated
June 26, 1996. Both of these have been previously submitted to your
department.
This letter should be considered not only as a reply to your December 19, 1996
letter requesting further information on this landfill and to meet the require-
ents of ISA NCAC 13B.0503(2)(d)(ii), but also as a request for approval of a
vertical expansion of the existing monofill other than what is currently
permitted. Attached are two reports from our consultants, The Fletcher Group,
containing landfill progression plans, ground water assessments and
evaluations of the site's impact on ground water after its closure, as well as an
"Ash Monofill Monitoring Plan."
Attachment A contains the above information for the operation of the existing
monofill following what has been previously submitted and approved.
Attachment B contains the above information for a vertical expansion of the
existing footprint but south of the area described in Attachment A. Once
approval is received for Attachment Band the necessary infrastructure is built,

such as leachate collection and pump area, the area described in Attachment A
will be temporarily closed and all ash will be disposed as described in the plans
contained in Attachment B. Both of these plans limit future lateral expansion
to the permitted waste boundary (which is the current waste footprint) as
shown on the attached drawings. Both plans were developed in one-year
phases with a design life of five years. It is our intention to use this facility for
more than five years. The major difference between the plans contained in
Attachments A and Bis that, in the latter, all leachate and surface run-off from
active landfill areas will be diverted to the Ecusta Wastewater Treatment plant.
In the former plan, all drainage from the active landfill area is directed to a
sediment control pond and from there to a surface drainage ditch leading to the
Davidson River, as currently permitted.
Each attachment contains a similar "Ash Monofill Monitoring Plan." This plan
will determine the impact of this landfill on the surface water ditch and the
ground water outside the permitted area. These plans are based on past
ground and surface water monitoring as well as the waste characteristics.
As Mr. Lutfy proposed on February 25, 1997, we have discussed this proposed
monitoring plan with the Ground Water Section of the DEM.
We would appreciate an early review of our "Ash Monofill Monitoring Plan" so
that the necessary sampling and analysis contracts can be issued. If there are
any questions, please call me.

ASH MONOFILL MONITORING PLAN
Ground water monitoring stations, as shown on Figure 1 of the attached report
on "Ash Monofill, Permit No. 88-01," Q88v2, Q88v3, Q88v4 and Q88v5, were
installed in 1986 and 1991. The well construction records for these wells were
previously submitted to you in June of 1996 and their locations discussed with
Mr. Lutfy on February 25, 1997.
The surface water monitoring stations, as shown on the attached drawing No.
S-1610-E-3, S-1 and S-2, are located upstream and downstream of the Ash
Monofill. These stations were selected to show the impact of this monofill on
Thrash Branch, a surface water drainage ditch that discharges to the Davidson
River.
The discharge from the majority of the springs located under the ash monofill
are piped together and discharge through S-3, as shown on the attached
drawing R-738-El, into a surface water drainage ditch upstream of sample
point S-2. This sample point was selected to show the impact of these springs
on sample point, S-2, and Thrash Branch. ·
Based on the data and the waste stream characterization study contained in
previously submitted reports, in particular my letter to you on "Industrial
Landfill 88-01" dated June 26, 1996, the attached monitoring plan was
developed. Particular attention was paid to the analytical results from the
NC2L analysis in Appendix C and the TCLP analysis in Appendix A. The
monitoring plan was developed to determine the impact of this monofill on the
ground waters and Thrash Branch.

Project No. 82012.05
SUBJECT: Conceptual Design of Ash Landfill Expansion and Piezometer Installation
Purpose
P.H. Glatfelter retained RMT, Inc., to investigate the technical feasibility of exp~ding the
existing ash landfill. In May 1997, P. H. Glatfelter authorized RMT to install piezometers, to
perform laboratory testing and engineering analyses, and to provide conceptual design of the
ash landfill expansion.
The scope of services consisted of drilling and installing two piezometers into the existing
landfill, obtaining samples of ash, conducting laboratory analyses on the ash, performing a
slope stability analysis and developing the conceptual design of the ash landfill expansion.
Piezometer Installation
Two piezometers were installed in the ash landfill. Piezometer PZ-1 was installed 15 feet below
the ground surface, and PZ-2R was installed 35 feet below the ground surface. Refer to the site
plan (sheet 1) for piezometer locations. An RMT geologist observed the drilling and visually
classified the soil and cuttings. The boring logs for PZ-1 and PZ-2 Rare attached. One
undisturbed Shelby tube sample along with a bulk sample were also collected for laboratory
analyses.
Laboratory Analysis
A specific gravity test, unit weight, and moisture content determination were performed on a
Shelby tube sample submitted to the laboratory. Shear strength of the ash sample remolded to
the Shelby tube unit weight and moisture content was obtained by performing consolidated
undrained triaxial testing with pore pressure measurement method. Table 1 summarizes the
Geotechnical Laboratory Test Data for the ash at the site. All laboratory test data are attached.
Page 1 F:\DATA \SUSANNE\ASHLFMEM.DOT/CDF96
Stability Analysis
RMT conducted a slope stability analysis for expansion of the existing ash landfill using
GARDS (Ceotechnical Analysis for Review of Dike Stability). CARDS is a two-dimensional
analysis of the Simplified Bishop Method of Slices with rotational equilibrium analysis of a
multi-layered embankment. It was developed by the University of Cincinnati for the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A). The cross-sectional geometry of the fill, the
subsurface soil profile, the strength data, and the location of the phreatic surface were used to
evaluate slope stability.
An analysis was also conducted under seismic loading conditions. A seismic coefficient of 0.13
g (gravity) and a design earthquake magnitude of 6.1 were used in the analysis on the basis of
site location according to CARDS' recommendation.
The cross-section with the maximum height of fill was evaluated because it represents the most
critical condition. The ash landfill would be expanded vertically to elevation 2215. The exterior
face of the ash landfill would have side slopes of 3 horizontal to 1 vertical, with 20-foot wide
terraces located every 20 feet of vertical rise. Since this geometry without terrac.es is
approximately equivalent to a 4 horizontal to 1 vertical, the geometry modeled in the CARDS
program was 4 horizontal to 1 vertical. The phreatic surface would be controlled via a drainage
layer within the landfill. A profile of this cross-section is shown on the graphical output of the
slope stability analysis that is attached.

TABLE 1
SUMMARY OF GEOTECHNICAL LABORATORY TESTING OF ASH
P.H. GLATFELTER, PISGAH FOREST, NORTH CAROLINA
Page3 F: \DATA \SUSANNE\ASHLFMEM.DOT /CDF96
The ash strength data used in this evaluation were based on the results of the laboratory
analysis performed by RMT's laboratory and RMT's prior experience with this type of ash. The
parameters used in the slope stability analysis are listed in Table 2. Lower ash strength values
were assumed for that portion of the landfill that may have been disturbed during the previous
slope failure in 1990.
Results
The results of the slope stability analysis are summarized in Table 3. For the corresponding
loading condition and strength parameters, the factor of safety determined by the GARDS slope
stability analysis is equal to or greater than the minimum factor of safety considered acceptable
byGARDS.
Conclusions
Vertical expansion of the ash landfill to the cross-section geometry previously described is
feasible as long as the average ash and soil properties are equal to or greater tha,n those cited
herein. The vertical expansion will be stable under static and seismic loading conditions cited
in this memorandum provided that it is constructed as designed and operated as
recommended.
