The owner or operator must ensure that the landfill units do not violate any applicable requirements developed under a State Implementation Plan approved or promulgated by the U.S. EPA Administrator pursuant to Section 110 of the Clean Air Act, as amended. Recordation Requirement 9. Following closure of all landfill units, the owner must record a notation on the deed to the landfill facility property at the local county Register of Deeds office. The notation on the deed shall in perpetuity notify any potential purchaser of the property that the land has been used as a MSW landfill and its use is restricted. To satisfy this requirement in accordance with N.C.G.S. 161-14.1, the owner must record this permit at the local county Register of Deeds office, indexed in the grantor index under the name of the owner of the land in the county or counties in which the land is located. The certified copy of the permit, affixed with the Register's seal and the date, book, and page number of recording, must be returned to the Solid Waste Section (Section) within 30 calendar days of issuance of this permit. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements 10. Groundwater quality at the facility is subject to “Classifications and Water Quality Standards Applicable to the Groundwaters of North Carolina,” 15A NCAC 2L. This includes, but is not limited to, the provisions for detection monitoring, assessment, and corrective action. 11. Ground water monitoring wells and surface water sampling location(s) must be sampled on a semi-annual basis, in accordance with the current policies and guidelines of the Section in effect at the time of sampling, unless otherwise specified by the Section. Any proposed modification to an approved plan must be submitted to the Section and approved prior to implementation. Sampling equipment and methods must conform to specifications in the “Solid Waste Section Guidelines for Groundwater, Soil, and Surface Water Sampling,” dated April 2008, available on the Section website. 12. Monitoring reports of the analytical results for surface water and groundwater monitoring sampling events must be submitted to the Section within 120 days of the sample collection date. Analytical laboratory data must be submitted in electronic format (pdf or tiff) and in a spreadsheet format in an Electronic Data Deliverable (EDD) Template. All monitoring reports must contain: a. a potentiometric surface map for the current sampling event that also includes surface water sampling locations, b. analytical laboratory reports and summary tables, c. a completed Solid Waste Environment Monitoring Data Form, and d. laboratory data submitted in accordance with the EDD Template. 13. The owner must monitor landfill gas to ensure that the closed site continues to meet the design standards for landfill gas found in 15A NCAC 13B .0503(2)(a). The concentration of explosive gases generated by the site must not exceed: a. twenty-five percent of the limit for the gases in site structures (excluding gas control or recovery system components); and b. the lower explosive limit for the gases at the property boundary. Halifax County. June 3, 2016 DIN 26096 Page 28 of 29 14. Landfill gas monitoring must be conducted quarterly, unless otherwise specified by the Section. Landfill gas monitoring should follow “Landfill Gas Monitoring Guidance Document,” as provided on the Section webpage. Any proposed modification to an approved landfill gas monitoring plan must be submitted to the Section and approved prior to implementation. 15. All landfill gas monitoring must be conducted by properly trained personnel and must include monitoring for hydrogen sulfide. Landfill gas monitoring must include interior monitoring of onsite buildings. Landfill gas monitoring equipment must be calibrated according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Verification of the calibration of the landfill gas monitoring equipment is required. Landfill gas monitoring results must be recorded on forms provided by the Section and must be maintained within the facility’s operating record. 16. The owner must maintain the integrity of all groundwater and landfill gas monitoring wells, including making repairs to well heads, covers, and surface pads, during the post-closure period. 17. A readily accessible unobstructed path must be maintained so that groundwater and landfill gas monitoring wells and surface water sampling locations are accessible using four-wheel drive vehicles. 18. Each groundwater monitoring well and landfill gas well must be surveyed for location and elevation. Each groundwater monitoring well and landfill gas monitoring well must have an identification plate permanently attached to the well, in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0108(o). 19. If a new well is required to be installed, either to add to the network or to replace an existing well, or if a well is required to be abandoned: a. The permittee must obtain approval from the Section for the design, installation, and abandonment of any groundwater or landfill gas monitoring well. A licensed geologist must be present to supervise the installation of groundwater monitoring wells and landfill gas monitoring wells. The exact locations, screened intervals, and nesting of the wells must be established after consultation with the Section Hydrogeologist at the time of well installation. b. Within 30 days of completed construction of each new groundwater and landfill gas monitoring well, a well construction record, well schematic, boring log, field log and notes, and description of well development activities must be submitted to the Section. Form GW-1 must be used for both groundwater and landfill gas wells. The submittal must also include a scaled topographic map, showing the location and identification of new, existing, and abandoned wells and piezometers, and hydraulic conductivity and effective porosity values. c. Hydraulic conductivity and effective porosity values must be established for each screened interval at each monitoring well in order to develop groundwater flow characteristics. d. Within thirty (30) days of the abandonment of any groundwater monitoring well, the well abandonment record (GW-30 form) and any additional information included in the Halifax County. June 3, 2016 DIN 26096 Page 29 of 29 abandonment record must be certified by a Licensed Geologist, and submitted to the Section. A copy of the well abandonment records submitted to the Division of Water Quality, consistent with 15A NCAC 2C .0114(b), must be submitted to the Section. e. Within thirty (30) days of the abandonment of a landfill gas monitoring well, an abandonment record must be submitted to the Section. The boring must be abandoned in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0113(d) and be certified by a Licensed Geologist. Reporting and Recordkeeping 20. Documentation of well completion, development details, repair, abandonment, and all other pertinent activities associated with each groundwater and landfill gas monitoring well must be maintained in the facility operating record. The permittee must maintain a record of all groundwater, surface water, and landfill gas monitoring events and analytical data in the operating record. 21. Copies of this permit, the approved plans, and all records required to be maintained in the operating record by the permittee must be maintained at a location approved by the Section and made available to the Section upon request during normal business hours. 22. All forms, reports, maps, plans, and data submitted to the Section must include an electronic (pdf) copy.
