RE: Burke County, Johns River Landfill
Permit Number 12-03
Second Quarterly Landfill Gas Monitoring Report of 2024
Project 2233479, Phase 04
Dear Mark:
LaBella Associates (LaBella) is submitting the attached methane monitoring results for Johns River
Landfill, Permit Number 12-03. The 2024 second quarter landfill gas monitoring event was
performed on May 7, 2024. During this event, gas probes GP-1S, GP-1D, GP-2S, GP-21, GP-2D, GP-4,
GP-5, GP-6, GP-7, and GP-8 were monitored in accordance with the facility's Landfill Gas Monitoring
Plan. The gas vents in the old C&D-over-MSW waste unit (GV-1 through GV-7) were also monitored.
The facility buildings, including the scale house (GMP-1), the shop (GMP-2), the office (GMP-3), the
shed (GMP-4), the shooting range (GMP-13), and the transfer station (GMP-14) were also monitored
on May 7, 2024, as were ambient air monitoring points GMP-5 through GMP-12. The Additional
Monitored Structure next to GP-5 was also monitored during this event. The locations of the gas
probes and monitoring points are depicted in Drawing 1. The monitoring data for the gas probes and
buildings are summarized in the attached Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Forms.
Methane was detected above the lower explosive limit (LEL), 5% by volume, in three gas probes
GP-21 (13.7%), GP-2D (17.0%), and GP-5 (13.7%). Methane was detected below the LEL in gas
probes GP-2S (1.0%), GP-4 (0.1%), GP-6 (2.0%). Methane was not detected in any other boundary
probes or buildings included in this monitoring plan. Methane detections and exceedances are
summarized in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively.
GP-5 is the only boundary probe in exceedance of the LEL for methane; however, no methane was
detected in the adjacent structure. Gas probes GP-2S, GP-21, and GP-2D are a nested set located in
close proximity to waste in the old C&D-over-MSW landfill and are not considered boundary probes.
GP-4 is located between the old landfill and the new landfill and is not considered a boundary probe.
Hydrogen sulfide was not detected in any of the probes, ambient monitoring points, or structures;
however, it was detected in gas vents GV-1, GV-2, GV-3, GV-5, GV-6, and GV-7. Hydrogen sulfide
concentrations in the gas vents ranged from 0 to 33 ppm. While there is no exceedance of the LEL
for hydrogen sulfide, these are potentially dangerous concentrations, so precautions should be taken
by any person working near the vents. According to OSHA, the legal airborne permissible exposure
limit (PEL) for hydrogen sulfide is 20 ppm, and 50 ppm is the maximum peak, not to be exceeded
during any 10-minute work period. Hydrogen sulfide levels of 100 ppm and higher are considered
immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH).
12-D Oak Branch Drive I Greensboro, NC 27407 I P [phone]
www.Labellapc.com

Due to the exceedance in gas probe, GP-5, we have included a NCDEQ Environmental Monitoring
Report Form (EMRF) and will forward a copy of this report to Jaclynne Drummond with the NCDEQ
Solid Waste Section. We recommend monthly monitoring of GP-5 and the adjacent structure for the
next three months, after which we will evaluate the need for further action.
A copy of this report should be maintained in the facility's records. The next quarterly monitoring
event is tentatively scheduled for the third quarter 2024. If we can provide any additional
information, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone]. Thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
