Dear Ms. Williams:
A~A --·~ :n n ,,,,; ~ .. ---• NCDENR
I am writing you to make two requests concerning the use of county property immediately adjacent to the
state owned property at the PCB Landfill for the PCB Landfill Detoxification Project.
The first request concerns permission to use the crosshatched areas shown in Attachment l. The drawing
shows the area relative to the fence installed for the project. Some, but not all of this area is on county
property. Three areas are shown. The area on the east side labeled "FENCE" will be used for stockpiling
cover material that has been analyzed and confirmed to be less than the Community Advisory Board's
cleanup standard of200 ppb. Storage area within the current fence is very limited and allowing the state
to use this area would aid in isolating clean material and reduce project costs. Approval to do this is
needed as soon as possible due to the need to start work extending the fence on Monday, March I ?1\ to
prevent project delays.
The other crosshatched areas shown on Attachment I are for settling basins. The purpose of these basins
would be to provide additional time for sediments in stormwater runoff to separate from the water. That
in turn could limit the amount of sediment deposited between the landfill and Richneck Creek. Extensive
efforts are underway on site to reduce the amount of sediment going to the existing basins. A decision on
whether to install these basins has not been made, however, I would ask that the county give us
permission now to use that area to reduce delays.
The second request concerns the Right of Entry granted to the state in July of 200 l as shown in
Attachment 2. The permission to use this area expires in June of this year. The detoxification project will
not be completed until the fall. The state is requesting that you extend this permission to the end of 2003.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Patricia M. Backus, P.E.

Additional Area Requested for Sedimentation Basins
IT requests permission to use an area west of the existing site boundary of the Warren
County PCB landfill for the construction of sedimentation basins. We anticipate
installing two basins with an approximate combined area of 8500 square feet. We have
not yet established the exact location of the basins, but they will fall in the 125 x 938 =
117,250 square foot area shown in the drawing below. These basins will be used for
erosion and sediment (E&S) control until the permanent E&S control, a vegetative
ground cover, is established. These basins will not be required at the end of the project
and will be filled in.

Dear Ms. Williams:
N~ _.,: a ,,,;, , ____ ..
NCDENR
In some previous discussions, I mentioned that the state might need to use some of the county
land at the PCB Landfill site for the PCB Landfill Detoxification Project. Our contractor, IT
Corporation, has determined that they will need some additional space on the west side of the
existing state-county property boundary. This space is needed for the construction of basins that
will be used for erosion and sedimentation control. A short description and map of the area is
attached.
I contacted Tommy Cline of the State Property Office for guidance on what mechanism is used to
grant such a request. He told me that the state uses a Right of Entry letter to grant such
permission. Since the basins will not be required at the end of the project and will be filled in, he
said that a Right of Entry should be sufficient. I have attached a letter that Warren County could
use based on the state's standard Right of Entry and suggestions from Mr. Cline.
I am asking that you please put this request on the agenda for the next Board of Commissioners
meeting on Monday, July 2. If this is approved, please send a copy of the approval to me and
retain a copy in your office for one of the IT Corporation representatives to obtain next week.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Patricia M. Backus, PE
