Re: Leachate Release Response Plan
Davidson County Landfill
Davidson County
Solid Waste Permit Number 2906
DIN 26323

Dear Mr. Buck:

The Solid Waste Section has completed a review of the Leachate Release Response Plan dated June 23,
2016 (DIN 26322) and submitted on behalf of Davidson County by Smith Gardner, Inc. for the Davidson
County Landfill, Solid Waste Permit Number 2906. The plan was submitted in response to a Notice of
Violation dated June 20, 2016.

The Leachate Release Response Plan includes subsurface soil sampling at specific locations. Three
subsurface soil samples and one background upgradient subsurface soil sample will be collected. The
background sample will be collected to characterize the native soils and baseline concentrations at the
facility. The subsurface soil samples will be analyzed for Appendix I of 40 CFR 258 (Volatile Organic
Compounds and Metals). A report of the results will then be submitted to the Solid Waste Section within
15 business days after receiving the laboratory analytical data.
As a result, the Leachate Release Response Plan is approved as described. Please implement the plan
within seven business days of receipt of this letter. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this
letter, please feel free to contact me by email at [e-mail] or by phone at
828.296.4706. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.

Sincerely,

Jaclynne Drummond
