Proposed Corrective Action GWSNM proposes to install a passive gas collection trench between the waste footprint limits and methane monitoring well MMW-3 and gas probes GP-1 and GP-2. A map depicting the proposed location of this trench relative to MMW-3, GP-1, and GP-2 is provided as Figure 1. The trench will be installed at a depth of approximately 15 feet below ground surface to match the total depth of MMW-3, GP-1, and GP-2. A perforated horizontal pipe enveloped in coarse aggregate will collect soil gas, which will be ventilated through vertical risers fitted with passive turbines commonly referred to as "whirlybirds". A detail schematic of the proposed gas collection trench is provided as Figure 2. Ms. Jaclynne Drummond August 2, 2024 Page 2 Proposed Ongoing Monitoring GWSNM proposes to continue monthly monitoring of MMW-3 as well as GP-1 and GP-2. In addition, monthly monitoring will be conducted on the gas collection trench ventilation risers. GWSNM will provide an updated Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan for the landfill facility upon approval of this plan. Potential Future Actions Monitoring data will be assessed for efficacy following one year of monthly monitoring following trench installation. If the monitoring data indicates a decreasing trend in landfill gas concentrations, the trench will be left in place and monthly monitoring will continue until detections of methane fall below 5% by volume, at which point GWSNM may propose to reduce the monitoring frequency to quarterly. In the event that concentrations of landfill gas in MMW-3, GP-1, and GP-2 remain stable or increase, GWSNM will connect the trench to the existing active landfill gas extraction system. As mentioned above, GWSNM will provide an updated Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan upon the approval of this proposed corrective action. GWSNM will submit a report documenting the final installation details of the trench upon completion of construction activities.
