Executive Summary
On July 6, 2023, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ),
Division of Waste Management (DWM) Solid Waste Section (SWS) issued a letter
regarding requirements for C&D Landfill, Inc.'s (C&D Landfill) Phase 1 closure
(Permit number 7407-CDLF-2001). One requirement outlined in the letter was that a
monitoring natural attenuation (MNA) evaluation be completed. Currently, the
corrective actions for Phase I include landfill capping and MNA to restore
groundwater quality at and beyond the relevant point of compliance, to effectively
reduce the overall groundwater contamination at the landfill and to control the
migration of contaminated groundwater to prevent unacceptable impacts. On
September 8, 2023, a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) Addendum modifying the landfill
capping portion of the remedy was submitted to the NCDEQ-DWM, SWS and was
approved on October 20, 2023.
This document presents a baseline MNA evaluation, under current conditions, for the
recorded organic compounds that exceed their respective groundwater quality
standards associated with the Phase 1 construction and demolition (C&D) debris
landfill. The evaluation is based on six years of semi-annual groundwater data (2018
to 2023), additional groundwater data collected from a site -specific groundwater -
surface water interaction (GSI) study and modeling to estimate the relevant
degradation rates. The available data were compiled to develop a physically -based
conceptual site model (CSM) that integrates source and hydrogeological and
geochemical conditions with the observed nature and extent of site -specific organic
compounds in groundwater.
The CSM is summarized as follows:
1. Source conditions: Phase 1 is in hydraulic communication with local shallow
groundwater, and because precipitation infiltration can potentially mobilize
organic compounds present in C&D waste through dissolution, the landfill
presents as a potential source for observed organic compounds in
groundwater.
2. Hydrogeology: Phase 1 is in hydraulic communication with an unconfined
shallow aquifer that is in hydraulic communication with surrounding surface
water drainage features that represent groundwater discharge zones.
3. Compounds of Interest (COls): Based on the aforementioned six years of
groundwater quality data, there are three COls that consistently exceed their
Closed Phase I Landfill 4 MNA Evaluation Report
C&D Landfill, Inc. December 2023
respective 15A NCAC 2L Groundwater Quality Standard (GWQS) or their
interim maximum allowable concentration (IMAC): benzene, vinyl chloride, and
1,4-dioxane. In addition to these compounds, tetrahydrofuran is also included
in the MNA analysis because it represents a co -metabolite that supports 1,4-
dioxane biodegradation.
4. COls in groundwater: The nature and extent of COls in groundwater and
groundwater geochemistry, including field parameters and parameters
indicative of MNA processes, are characterized based on monitoring well data
and groundwater data from the GSI study.
The weight of evidence supports effective MNA for the COls under current conditions.
The primary NA processes are: adsorption, mass uptake/destruction via groundwater
interaction with plants, and metabolic and co -metabolic aerobic biodegradation.
Application of the landfill capping portion of the approved corrective action program
will continue to support effective MNA in two ways:
1. Reduce rainfall infiltration, which will reduce groundwater mounding (i.e.,
waste in contact with groundwater), and thus, volumetric mass flux.
2. Enhance COI mass uptake/destruction via groundwater interaction with
plants and grasses.

Introduction
1.1. Purpose
On July 6, 2023, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ),
Division of Waste Management (DWM) Solid Waste Section (SWS) issued a letter
regarding requirements for C&D Landfill, Inc.'s (C&D Landfill) Phase 1 closure
(Permit number 7407-CDLF-2001) [FID1810242] (NCDEQ-DWM, SWS 2023a). One
requirement outlined in the letter was that a monitoring natural attenuation (MNA)
evaluation be completed. Currently, the corrective actions for Phase I include landfill
capping and MNA to restore groundwater quality at and beyond the relevant point of
compliance, to effectively reduce the overall groundwater contamination at the
landfill, and to control the migration of contaminated groundwater to prevent
unacceptable impacts. On September 8, 2023, a Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
Addendum modifying the landfill capping portion of the remedy was submitted to the
NCDEQ-DWM, SWS (ELMSS, 2023), and was approved on October 20, 2023
(NCDEQ-DWM, 2023b).
This document presents a baseline MNA evaluation, under current conditions, for the
recorded organic compounds that exceed their respective groundwater quality
standards associated with the Phase 1 construction and demolition (C&D) debris
landfill.
1.2. Limitations
The MNA analysis presented herein follows the NC Solid Waste Section Guidelines for
Monitored Natural Attenuation (NCDEQ-DWM, 2008) where MNA effectiveness is based
upon the following technical and scientific demonstrations:
1. The reduction of the contaminant concentrations caused by chemical or biological
attenuation of the contaminant;
2. The sampling analytical results show that the plume has stabilized horizontally and
vertically in size and is not migrating; and
3. A statistical reduction in the contaminant concentrations along specific flow paths
can be shown.
Closed Phase I Landfill 6 MNA Evaluation Report
C&D Landfill, Inc. December 2023
These aspects are in turn evaluated based on the development of a physically based
conceptual site model (CSM) that connects observed groundwater quality conditions with
a characterization of natural and anthropogenic source conditions, hydrogeology,
geochemistry and fate processes, statistical evaluation of temporal trends, and
application of appropriate MNA screening modes.
The CSM is derived from a weight of evidence made apparent by a review of the following
data and documentation:
1. Semi-annual compliance monitoring reports and associated data required by
Phase 1 permit rule, completed and issued for the period between 2018 and 2023.
The documents and associated data are available in the SWS files. The data
include site -specific hydrogeological data (boring logs, aquifer parameters
[thickness, hydraulic conductivity, and porosity] and monitoring well water levels),
and groundwater and surface water volatile organic compounds (VOCs), metals,
and field and MNA parameter analyses [as specified in NCDEQ-DWM (2008)].
2. GIS data made available on the NC OneMap web site (NC OneMap) and on the
Pitt County, NC, web site [Pitt County GIS Website (pittcountync.gov)], including
regional geology, natural topography, surface water and wetlands features, and
property lines.
3. Data made available from a site -specific groundwater and surface water interaction
(GSI) study conducted in September 2023 according to the work plan provided in
Appendix 1.
Statistical evaluation of temporal trends is provided using an intrawell Mann -Kendal
analysis tool (GSI, 2012). MNA screening is provided using two models: a USGS model
(USGS, 2008) to assess geochemical conditions in groundwater, and BioPic (Danyko et
al., 2021), a tool that follows EPA OSWER directive 9200.4-17P on MNA of chlorinated
ethenes, while including ethanes and 1,4-dioxane.

Conceptual Site Model
2.1. Source Conditions
C&D Landfill, located at 802 Recycling Lane, Greenville, North Carolina, operates a C&D
landfill under Solid Waste Permit # 7407- CDLF- 2001 and # 7407- CDLF- 2009
(hereinafter referred to as the 'Facility'). The Facility is comprised of two unlined landfill
units, Phase 1 and Phase 2. The phases became operational in May 2001 and August
2009, respectively. It should be noted that a large percentage of the contents of Phase 1
is Hurricane Floyd flood damage debris in 1999 that resulted from the NCDEQ's request
that C&D Landfill change their permit from Land Clearing and Inert Debris (LCID) to C&D
in order to accept hurricane debris following the storm
The Facility is currently required to submit semi-annual groundwater monitoring reports
to the SWS. Figure 1 provides a Facility Location Map. Phase 1 ceased accepting waste
in 2006 and entered final closure in late 2022. Phase 2 is currently active. The two phases
were developed in two adjacent, non-contiguous, areas. Figure 2 depicts the natural and
anthropogenic topography. Both areas were previously used for agricultural purposes.
Phase 1 source conditions are characterized as follows:
1. Initially, Phase 1 operated as a LCID landfill and then, noted above, as a C&D
landfill as an emergency disposal facility accepting demolition material resulting
from Hurricane Floyd damage.
2. In general, C&D debris is non -hazardous solid waste generated during the
construction, remodeling, repair or demolition of homes and buildings. Materials
included in the C&D debris generation estimates are wood products, drywall and
plaster, brick and clay tile, asphalt shingles, and concrete (Construction and
Demolition Debris: Material -Specific Data I US EPA).
3. Phase 1 is unlined and currently capped with a native soil cover sourced from
adjacent borrow areas with natural vegetation. Thus, it is hydraulically connected
to the natural hydrogeologic setting through precipitation infiltration.
4. Organic compounds present in the C&D waste may be mobilized through
dissolution into leachate generated from rainfall infiltration.
5. As discussed in Section 2.3, there are four organic compounds that consistently
present in groundwater: benzene, vinyl chloride, 1,4-dioxane, and
tetrahydrofuran. These compounds may be intermixed with the C&D waste as
follows: benzene associated with BTEX-containing liquids, vinyl chloride
associated with PVC materials used in many household products (furniture,
Closed Phase I Landfill 8 MNA Evaluation Report
C&D Landfill, Inc. December 2023
flooring, siding, etc.), and 1,4-dioxane (1,4-D) (and tetra hydrofuran) commonly
associated with liquid surfactants (i.e., by-products of surfactant manufacture). It
is noted that the NCDEQ-DWM, SWS has issued two historical memorandums
that cite the need to sample for 1,4-D and THE as common contaminants in C&D
landfills (NCDEQ-DWM 2010 and 2018, respectively).
In summary, because Phase 1 is in hydraulic communication with local shallow
groundwater, and because precipitation infiltration can potentially mobilize organic
compounds present in C&D waste through dissolution, the landfill presents as a potential
source for observed organic compounds in groundwater.

surrounding natural topography range is approximately 18' to 10' msl.
2.2. Hydrogeology
The Site is located within the Coastal Plain physiographic and geologic province of North
Carolina (Figure 3). It is underlain by the Yorktown Formation (Tpy), which is
characterized as stratified fluvial deposits containing layers or pockets of low permeability
and high permeability horizons. Site -specific boring logs (AMEC, 2017) confirm the
surficial deposits (uppermost aquifer) consist of poorly stratified sand and clay layers,
extending to depths varying between 12 and 30 feet. The upper sands are underlain by
the Yorktown Formation, presenting as a sticky silty clay, which is easily identified by a
deep green -gray color and a distinctive fossil -marker bed.
Closed Phase I Landfill 11 MNA Evaluation Report
C&D Landfill, Inc. December 2023
Based on boring logs (AMEC, 2017), the Facility -specific hydrogeology is characterized
as a two -aquifer system (i.e., upper and lower sandy units separated by a clay confining
layer). Figure 4a provides the existing well locations, and cross-section transects are
provided in Figures 4b, and 4c. Hydrological Unit 1 (Aquifer Unit 1, 10 to 15 feet thick)
is unconfined, while Hydrological Unit 2 (Aquifer Unit 2) is confined.
Horizontal groundwater flow in the upper aquifer is toward the southwest and Grindle
Creek, with water level contours that reflect the ground surface topography (Figure 5).
This implies that unconfined conditions prevail. Based on hydrogeological data between
2018 to 2023, the estimated average groundwater seepage velocity (v) along the
downgradient edge of Phase 1 is 20.5 feet/year (v = Ki/n, where average hydraulic
conductivity, K = 205 feet/year, effective porosity, n = 0.08, and hydraulic gradient, i =
0.008 ft/ft).
The vertical hydraulic gradient is illustrated in Figure 6 and Figure 7. Figure 6 shows the
temporal trend in water level at each nested monitoring well set. The data show that the
upper and lower aquifers are hydraulically isolated, and that the upper aquifer is affected
by groundwater mounding due to Phase 1 s topographic effect (also depicted on Figure
5). Figure 7 shows that shallow groundwater discharges to surface water features that
surround Phase 1 (also see Appendix 1). A comprehensive shallow aquifer flow map is
presented in Figure 8, which includes the Pitt County GIS wetlands layer (characterized
by mature swamp and bottomland forest).
In summary, Phase 1 is in hydraulic communication with a 10- to 15-foot-thick unconfined
shallow aquifer that is in hydraulic communication with surrounding surface water
drainage features that represent groundwater discharge zones.

from the Spring 2023 semi-annual monitoring event. Flow is generally to the southeast toward Grindle Creek.
Figure 6 — Vertical Hydrogeology Map — shows temporal trend at each nested monitoring well set. The data show that
the upper and lower aquifers are hydraulically isolated, and that the upper aquifer is affected by groundwater mounding
due to Phase 1's topographic effect (see also Figure 5).

2.3. Nature and Extent of Compounds of Interest
A review of the groundwater data collected between 2018 and 20231 shows that there
are four organic compounds that consistently present above their respective method
detection limits: benzene, vinyl chloride, 1,4-dioxane and tetrahydrofuran. These
compounds are referred to as compounds of interest (COls).
Given the hydrogeology discussed in Section 2.2, the following wells are used to assess
the extent and fate of the COls in shallow groundwater emanating from the Phase 1
landfill:

• Upgradient: MW-8, MW-11 and MW-12S
• Downgradient: MW-2S, MW-3A, MW-3S, MW-5, MW-6 and MW-7
Table 1 provides a data summary between 2018 and 2023, Figure 9 provides time -series
plots of the data associated with benzene and vinyl chloride, and Figure 10 provides the
same for 1,4-dioxane and tetrahydrofuran. It is noted that three of the four COls (benzene,
vinyl chloride and 1,4-dioxane) exceed their 15A NCAC 2L Groundwater Quality Standard
(GWQS at one or more wells (see Table 1)). It is also noted that while tetrahydrofuran is
present well below its standard, it is included in this analysis as a characterization
compound. Specifically, tetrahydrofuran has been identified as a primary substrate that
can support 1,4-dioxane co -metabolic biodegradation under aerobic conditions (ITRC,
2021, Section 3.1.7.2). This analysis is discussed further in Section 2.4.
To assess the temporal stability of COls in groundwater, a Mann -Kendall (M-K) statistical
analysis was applied to the data for each COI at each well (the data and analyses are
presented in Appendix 2). Table 1 provides a summary of the M-K analysis. A review of
Appendix 2 and Table 1 shows that COI impact is essentially stable (declining trends
upgradient and stable trends downgradient). This is consistent with the concept that the
source for the observed impacts is the Hurricane Floyd C&D waste resulting in a steady
state to declining mass flux.
The observed trends at monitoring wells are supported by the GSI data summarized in
Table 2.
• There is a clear attenuation trend along the flow path that connects wells MW-12S,
MW-3A and MW-3S with piezometer PZ-5.
• Shallow impacts close to the Phase 1 footprint (PZ-8, PZ-9A and PZ-10) tend to
be higher than those at nearby monitoring wells (MW-2S, MW-6 and MW-7). This
is primarily due to the fact that the sampling (screen) intervals are different, where
the MW-series wells employ 10 to 15 foot screens that span the shallow saturated
thickness, while the PZ-series piezometers employ a 1-foot screen located at the
top of the saturated zone. While this is the case, as shown in Table 2, surface
water in the discharge zone is unaffected showing attenuation across a short
space scale (discussed further in Section 2.4).
In summary, Phase 1 continues to provide a steady state to declining COI mass flux to
shallow groundwater resulting in stable conditions that attenuate rapidly before discharge
to surface water features. Fate processes are discussed in Section 2.4.

Closed Phase I Landfill 20 MNA Evaluation Report

Figure 9 — Benzene and Vinyl Chloride Data at Phase 1 Wells - note that different scales are used at each well to
highlight temporal trend. When considered with the hydrologic characterization, these compounds are sourced in the
northwest corner of Phase 1 and in the drainage channel that separates Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Figure 10 — 1,4-Dioxane and Tetrahydrofuran Data at Phase 1 Wells — note that different scales are used at each well
to highlight temporal trend. These compounds are spatially widespread and co -located, which supports a common
source. The highest concentrations are similarly located with benzene and vinyl chloride (see Figure 9).

2.4 Fate Processes
Dissolved COls in groundwater migrate downgradient of Phase 1 via the following
transport and fate processes:
Transport: advection, dispersion, and diffusion.
• Fate:
o Adsorption
o Mass uptake/destruction via groundwater interaction with plants:
transpiration and root zone biological processes
o Biotic mass destruction
In this Section, the fate processes noted above are assessed.
Closed Phase I Landfill 22 MNA Evaluation Report
C&D Landfill, Inc. December 2023
Adsorption
Adsorption to native organic carbon associated with aquifer materials will significantly
retard the relatively hydrophobic COls (i.e., benzene and vinyl chloride), significantly
reducing transport. 1,4-dioxane and tetrahydrofuran are miscible in water and thus, are
unaffected by adsorption to organic carbon. It can be seen that discharging groundwater
to wetland surface water must pass through organic -rich sediment, which is in part
responsible for the observed attenuation of benzene and vinyl chloride. In this case, the
retarded mass has time to be affected by other fate processes.
Mass Uptake/Destruction via Groundwater Interaction with Plants Transpiration and Root
Zone Biological Processes
It can be observed from Figure 8 that discharging groundwater to wetland surface water
must pass through extensive swamp and bottomland forest root zones. Because 1,4-
dioxane and tetrahydrofuran are miscible in water and non-sorptive, they are readily taken
up by the vegetation and transpired (essentially, a groundwater extraction and mass
removal process). Once released into the atmosphere, 1,4-dioxane is photodegraded by
UV light from the sun (ITRC, 2021). In addition to transpiration, research has shown that
bacteria live in symbiotic communities near or within plants, and they may facilitate a bio-
degradation process.
Biotic mass destruction
The Facility COls are susceptible to biodegradation, given favorable aerobic geochemical
conditions. Parameters indicative of favorable conditions include: pH, dissolved oxygen
(DO), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and reduction -oxidation conditions (REDOX).
Table 3 shows that the shallow aquifer pH is in the optimal range between 5 and 9 (CLU-
IN I Technoloaies > Remediation > About Remediation Technoloaies > Bioremediation >
Aerobic Bioremediation (Direct)).
Aerobic conditions are indicated when DO is >0.5 mg/L and ORP is >50 eV. Figure 10
shows that these conditions prevail, which is consistent with shallow unconfined aquifers.
Finally, REDOX conditions are assessed using a USGS REDOX Assignment Model
(USGS, 2008). Table 4 summarizes the conditions at relevant sampling points. These
data, in concert indicate favorable geochemistry, support aerobic biodegradation.
Under aerobic conditions, the end degradation product for benzene, vinyl chloride, and
1,4-dioxane degradation is carbon dioxide (CO2). While benzene and vinyl chloride are
readily biodegradable as food sources, 1,4-dioxane must be degraded through a co -
Closed Phase I Landfill 23 MNA Evaluation Report
C&D Landfill, Inc. December 2023
metabolic process. Specifically, tetrahydrofuran represents a food source, and the
biologically expressed enzymes used to degrade tetrahydrofuran also happen to degrade
1,4-dioxane, though the 1,4-dioxane is not necessarily a food source. Thus, 1,4-dioxane
is degraded through co -metabolic degradation of tetrahydrofuran.
Evidence of aerobic biodegradation of benzene and vinyl chloride is provided in Figure
11, which plots the time trend in concentration along with CO2, the terminal degradation
product. Figure 12 provides the same presentation, but for 1,4-dioxane and
tetrahydrofuran. In general CO2 increases while COls decrease.
To further assess the fate of 1,4-D in groundwater, an NA model was developed (Danko
et al., 2021) to estimate its decay rate (mass loss as a function of time). The calibrated
model result is presented in Appendix 3, and the input/output parameters are
summarized in Table 5. A concentration half-life was computed to be 3 years (i.e., the
concentration is reduced by '/2 every 3 years). This result shows that a source
concentration of 350 ug/L will attenuate to the GWQS in approximately 492 feet.
Table 3 - pH Data at Relevant Wells - shows that the pH is within the optimal range (5 to 9) to support aerobic
biodegradation processes.

Conclusions
The weight of evidence supports effective MNA for the COls under current conditions.
The primary NA processes are: adsorption, mass uptake/destruction via groundwater
interaction with plants, and metabolic and co -metabolic aerobic biodegradation.
Application of the landfill capping portion of the approved corrective action program will
continue to support effective MNA in two ways:
• Reduce rainfall infiltration, which will reduce groundwater mounding (i.e., waste in
contact with groundwater), and thus, volumetric mass flux.
• Enhance COI mass uptake/destruction via groundwater interaction with plants and
grasses.
Validation of these MNA conclusions, specifically that source mass flux will be
significantly reduced with implementation of landfill capping, can be achieved by
monitoring the temporal trends of field parameters (pH, DO, ORP, specific conductance)
and the COls from continued semi-annual monitoring of the following wells: MW-2S, MW-
3A, MW-3S, MW-5, MW-6, MW-7, MW-8, MW-11, and MW-12S.

Work Plan for Field Groundwater -Surface Water Interaction Study
C&D Landfill, Inc., Greenville, NC
August 2023
Project Description
The Phase I landfill at the C&D Landfill, Inc. facility (Site) began operations in 2001 and ceased
accepting waste in 2006. The landfill is unlined and accepted construction and demolition (C&D)
debris.
To evaluate MNA and confirm the conceptual site model, ELMSS proposes to characterize the
natural attenuation processes associated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and 1,4-
dioxane in groundwater at concentrations that exceed the 2L Standards and verify that site
groundwater discharges to surface water immediately downgradient of landfill Phases 1 and 2.
To achieve this goal, a groundwater -surface water interaction study is proposed.
Objectives
The purpose for this work is to meet the following objectives:
1. Verify the conceptual site model that Site related groundwater discharges to surface water
immediately downgradient of the Site,
2. Delineate Site -related groundwater impact.
3. Characterize natural attenuation processes associated with VOC impacts (biotic, abiotic,
mass balance).
Field Methodology
The Solnist Drive Point Piezometer, Model 615, will be used to collect pore water (i.e.,
groundwater) chemistry and hydraulic gradient data within the hyporheic zone of the tributaries
located upgradient and downgradient of the Site (see Figure 1). Dedicated polyethylene tubing
will be attached to the screened interval of the drive point and the drive point will be driven into
the sediment of the tributaries at 10 to 12 locations to a depth of approximately 2 to 4 feet. Once
placed, the pore water pressure will be allowed to equilibrate whereupon the static water level in
the drive points will be compared to the surface water level in the tributary. The hydraulic gradient
magnitude and direction will be recorded as an indication of groundwater discharge or recharge.
Where groundwater discharge conditions are observed, groundwater and surface water quality
samples will be collected. For the groundwater samples, a peristaltic pump will be used to low -
flow purge (50 to 200 ml/min) the drive points to obtain pore water field parameters (temperature,
pH, dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, redox potential, and turbidity). Once stabilized field
parameters are obtained, a pore water sample will be collected into laboratory sample containers
for subsequent laboratory analysis of metals, VOCs, 1,4-dioxane, and MNA parameters (i.e.,
nitrate+nitrite, TOC, alkalinity, chloride, TDS, sulfate, sulfide, carbon dioxide, and dissolved
gases). For the surface water samples, a peristaltic pump will be used to low -flow purge the
surface water immediately next to each drive point. A surface water sample will be collected into
laboratory sample containers for subsequent laboratory analysis of metals, VOCs, and 1,4-
dioxane.
Once the sampling is complete, the GPS coordinates for each location will be recorded. The drive
point will be removed (if possible) and decontaminated for use at the next sample location.
At a given drive point location, a pore water sample will not be collected if one of two conditions
prevail as follows:
1. If the drive point is placed in sediment of such low hydraulic conductivity that a pore water
sample cannot be collected in a reasonable amount of time (on the order of/z hour), then
the location will be abandoned and marked as not permeable.
2. If the hydraulic gradient indicates downward flow, then the location will be marked as
aquifer recharge.
This protocol is considered appropriate because both of these conditions imply that significant
groundwater discharge is not occurring at these locations.
In order to provide a connection between surface water and groundwater quality at the time of
sampling, in addition to the drive point locations identified above, the following existing wells will
be sampled for the same analytical list as above: MW-2S, MW-3S, MW-3A, MW-5, MW-6, MW-8,
MW-12S, MW-13, and MW-14S. Quality control samples will include one duplicate sample, one
equipment blank, and one trip blank for the groundwater samples.
Decontamination Procedure
The drive point piezometers will be decontaminated using the following procedure before reuse
at the next location:
1. Rinse the equipment with potable water;
2. Wash the equipment in a Liquinox/water solution;
3. Rinse the equipment with deionized or distilled water; and
4. Let equipment air dry before collecting the next sample.
