C O N S U L T I N G May 28, 2024 Ms. Jackie Drummond Compliance Hydrogeologist North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Waste Management - Solid Waste Section Asheville Regional Office (ARO) 2090 US Highway 70 Swannanoa, North Carolina 28778 Re: Notification of Appendix II Detections Foothills Regional Landfill, Permit No. 14-03 Caldwell County, North Carolina Dear Ms. Drummond: Submitted via Electronic Mail On behalf of the Foothills Regional Landfill, Jett Environmental Consulting is submitting notification of Appendix II constituents detected in site groundwater monitoring wells during the First Semi -Annual 2024 sampling event. This notification is in accordance with North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Requirements for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Facilities Section .1634(d), which states the following: "After obtaining the results from the initial or subsequent sampling events required in Paragraph (b) of this Rule, the owner or operator shall: (1) Within 14 days, submit a report to the Division and place a notice in the operating record identifying the Appendix 11 constituents that have been detected," Groundwater sampling was completed by Environmental Sampling & Services, Inc. (ES&S) on May 6, 2024. Analytical testing was performed by Pace Analytical Services, LLC for the annual Appendix II sampling event for well MW-2R. Results were received by Jett Environmental Consulting on May 22, 2024. The attached Table 1 summarizes the Appendix II constituents that were confirmed detected above the laboratory practical quantitation limits (PQLs) during the First Semi -Annual 2024 event. The Appendix II constituents confirmed detected at quantified levels are also on the Appendix I Detection Monitoring list. The Appendix I parameters detected (1,4-dichlorobenzene, barium, and benzene) are consistent with past events. The attached Table 2 summarizes the Appendix I I constituents that were reported at estimated values between the method detection limit (MDL) and the PQL. Any analyte detected at a concentration greater than the MDL but less than the PQL is believed to be present, but the uncertainty in the value is high (i.e., laboratory interferences). As a result, the actual concentration is estimated. No further action is required based on the estimated results. The full groundwater report and statistical evaluation is currently being compiled and will be submitted per Sections .1632 and .1633. The groundwater report will provide recommendations regarding Assessment and Appendix II monitoring activities.
