Instructions:
Prepare one form for each individually monitored unit.
Please type or print legibly.
Attach a notification table with values that attain or exceed INC 2L groundwater standards or NC 2B surface water standards. The notification
must include a preliminary analysis of the cause and significance of each value. (e.g. naturally occurring, off -site source, pre-existing
condition, etc.).
Attach a notification table of any groundwater or surface water values that equal or exceed the reporting limits.
Attach a notification table of any methane gas values that attain or exceed explosive gas levels. This includes any structures on or nearby the
facility (NCAC 13B .1629 (4)(a)(i).

RE: Burke County, East Burke Landfill
Permit Number 12-02
Landfill Gas Monitoring Report - Fourth Quarter of 2024
Project 2243730, Phase 05
Dear Mark,
LaBella Associates (LaBella) is submitting the attached methane monitoring report for the East
Burke Landfill, Permit Number 12-02. The 2024 fourth quarter landfill gas monitoring event was
performed on October 28, 2024. During this event, LaBella monitored seven gas probes (GP-1,
GP-113, GP-2, GP-3, GP-4, GP-5, and GP-6). The approximate locations of the gas probes are depicted
in Drawing 1. The monitoring data for the gas probes and buildings are summarized in the attached
Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Log.
Methane was detected above the lower explosive limit (LEL) in gas probes, GP-1(30.3%), GP-3
(47.0%), and GP-4 (51.1%); however, note that methane was not detected in gas probe GP-1B, which
is between GP-1 and the property boundary. These exceedances are consistent with previous
results. The detections and exceedances are summarized in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively.
We have included a NCDEQ Environmental Monitoring Reporting Form (EMRF) and will forward a
copy of this report to the NCDEQ Solid Waste Section. A copy of this report should be maintained in
the facility's records. The next quarterly monitoring event is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
If we can provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone].
Respectfully submitted,
LaBella Associates
