1.0 Introduction
The Jackson County Solid Waste Department maintains a closed Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF)
located approximately 0.75 miles west of Dillsboro, North Carolina, on the northeast side of Old Dillsboro
Road (Old U.S. Highway 74; Figure 1). The water quality monitoring at the landfill is governed by the North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), formerly known as The North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Division of Waste Management (DWM), Solid Waste Section
(SWS), under Permit No. 50-02 issued to Jackson County. The landfill permit requires semiannual monitoring
of groundwater and surface water quality.
Over time, groundwater quality monitoring indicated persistent low-level exceedances of constituents in
groundwater samples. In response to the continued exceedances of analyzed constituents, an Assessment
of Corrective Measures (ACM) was completed and a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) was implemented. The
implemented remedy includes the extraction of leachate through dedicated submersible pumps installed
within the landfill gas extraction wells and disposal of the leachate into the Tuckaseigee Water & Sewer
Authority (TWSA) collection system. In addition to leachate extraction, groundwater natural attenuation
parameters are monitored and natural attenuation processes are evaluated. The remedy was implemented
in a phased approach with full implementation occurring on September 6, 2013.
This report serves as the second semiannual water quality monitoring report for 2015 and is the ninth report
following approval of the CAP. This report provides an evaluation of groundwater and surface water quality.
The water quality monitoring network is presented on Figure 2. The generalized groundwater flow direction in
underlying aquifer system (Figure 3) is also provided in the report.
In addition to groundwater and surface water monitoring, this report includes VOC analysis of the extracted
leachate.
The water samples are collected from selected monitoring points during the spring and again in the fall of
each year. The analytical suites associated with site groundwater samples for the current sampling event
(Table 1) are as follows:
Appendix II Metals
Appendix II Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Chlorinated Herbicides
Monitored natural attenuation (MNA) parameters: alkalinity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
chemical oxygen demand (COD), chloride, carbon dioxide, cyanide, ethane, ethene, ferrous iron,
hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, nitrate, nitrite, sulfate, sulfide, total organic carbon (TOC), and volatile
fatty acids.
The fall 2015 sampling event was performed and is being reported in accordance with requirements
stipulated in the North Carolina DEQ Solid Waste Management Rules codified under Title 15A, Subchapter
13B of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 13B).

2.0 Semiannual Monitoring
2.1 Groundwater, Surface Water, and Leachate Sampling
The closed MSWLF monitoring wells (MW-01, MW-02, MW-03, MW-04, MW-05R, MW-06, and MW-07),
surface water sample locations (SW-01 and SW-02), two domestic wells (DW-01 and DW-02), and one
leachate sample (LT-01) location were sampled on October 13, and 14, 2015 by Altamont Environmental,
Inc. (Altamont). Static groundwater level measurements and all field parameter data are included on the well
sampling logs in Appendix A. The full suite of groundwater and surface water analytical results is presented
in the laboratory analytical reports in Appendix B. The field parameter measurements and analytical results
are tabulated in the Electronic Data Deliverable (EDD) in Appendix C.
The monitoring wells, surface water sample locations, domestic wells, and leachate sample locations are
depicted on Figure 2.
2.1.1 Monitoring Well Purging and Sampling Methods
Prior to sampling the monitoring wells, the static water level was gauged in each well and an initial round of
field parameters consisting of pH, specific conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, temperature, and
oxidation reduction potential (ORP) were measured. Static water level measurements and all field parameter
data are included on the well sampling logs in Appendix A.
Altamont personnel used either low-flow techniques or disposable bailers to purge the monitoring wells and
collect groundwater samples. Total depth, condition of the casing, and the groundwater recharge rate
determined the purging and sample collection method employed at each monitoring well.
2.1.1.1 Monitoring Wells
Monitoring wells MW-03, MW-04, MW-06, and MW-07 were purged using low-flow techniques in accordance
with the procedures described in the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Low-Flow (Minimal
Drawdown) Ground-Water Sampling Procedures (EPA 1996). During purging, the pH, specific conductivity,
DO, ORP, turbidity, and temperature were measured and recorded approximately every 3 minutes. Well
purging continued until these parameters generally stabilized for three consecutive readings. The required
stabilization criteria were as follows:
pH values within +/- 0.1 unit
Specific conductivity values within +/- 5 percent
Temperature, DO, and turbidity values within +/- 10 percent
ORP values within +/- 10 millivolts
Once the parameters had stabilized, a groundwater sample was collected using laboratory-supplied sample
bottles by a technician wearing a new pair of nitrile gloves.
Monitoring well MW-01 was purged dry with a disposable bailer and the groundwater sample was collected
following recharge on October 13, 2015. Monitoring well MW-02 was purged dry with a disposable bailer and
the groundwater sample was collected following recharge on October 14, 2015. Monitoring well MW-05R
was purged dry with a disposable bailer on October 13, 2015 and the groundwater sample was collected
following recharge the next day, October 14, 2015.

2.1.2 Surface Water Sampling Methods
Surface water samples SW-01 and SW-02 were collected at designated locations from the Tuckasegee River,
which is southwest of the landfill. Surface water sample SW-01 is representative of surface water quality
upstream of the landfill, while SW-02 is representative of surface water quality downstream from the landfill.
One round of field parameters, consisting of temperature, pH, specific conductivity, DO, ORP, and turbidity,
were measured and recorded at each surface-water sampling location prior to collecting the sample
(Appendix A). The surface water samples were collected in laboratory-provided sample containers by a
technician wearing a new pair of nitrile gloves.
2.1.3 Leachate Sampling Methods
Dedicated bottom-loading, air-powered pumps, air pressure lines, and a leachate forcemain collection
system are installed at the landfill. Pumps are installed in landfill gas extraction wells EW-1R, EW-2R, EW-3R,
EW-4, EW-5, EW-6, EW-7, EW-8, EW-9, and EW-10. The gas extraction well locations are presented on Figure
2. The leachate is pumped from the wells into a flow equalization tank which is connected to the
Tuckaseigee Water & Sewer Authority wastewater collection system.
The flow equalization tank is situated to the northeast of the landfill adjacent to the existing landfill gas flare.
A grab sample of leachate (LT-01) was collected by operating the leachate extraction pumps and taking a
sample as the leachate entered the flow equalization tank. One round of field parameters, consisting of
temperature, pH, specific conductivity, DO, ORP, and turbidity, was measured and recorded after collecting
the sample (Appendices A and C).
2.2 Sample Handling, Documentation, and Analysis
Field parameters and additional observations pertaining to the closed MSWLF sampling locations are
provided on sampling logs (Appendix A). Following sample collection, each groundwater, surface water, and
leachate sample was immediately placed on ice in a sample cooler for transport to Prism Laboratories
(Prism), a laboratory located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Microseeps, Inc. laboratory was subcontracted by
Prism and completed a portion of the natural attenuation parameters analyses. The groundwater samples
collected from the monitoring wells were analyzed for the following parameters:
Appendix II Metals using Methods 6020A and 7470A
Appendix II Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) using Method 8260B
Chlorinated Herbicides using Method 8151A
Natural Attenuation Parameters:
Alkalinity using Standard Method (SM) 2320B
BOD, 5-day using SM 5210B
Carbon dioxide, hydrogen, ethane, ethene, and methane using Analytical Method (AM) AM20GAX
COD using SM 5220D
Chloride using SM 9056A
Cyanide using SM 4500-CN-E
Ferrous iron using SM 3500-Fe D
Nitrate as N, using Method 9056A.
Sulfide using SM 4500-S F

Sulfate using Method 9056A.
TOC using SM 9060A
Volatile Fatty Acids using AM23G
The surface water samples were analyzed for Appendix II Metals and VOCs, cyanide, chlorinated herbicides,
and sulfide. The leachate sample was analyzed for Appendix II VOCs. Two domestic well samples were
analyzed for VOCs using EPA method 524.2.
Proper chain-of-custody documentation procedures were followed during collection and transportation of
each sample (Appendix B). Three trip blank samples for quality control/quality assurance purposes were
included in the sample coolers. Two were analyzed for Appendix II VOCs by EPA Method 8260 and one was
analyzed for VOCs by EPA Method 524.2, which reflected the domestic well samples collected. The reports of
laboratory analysis are provided in Appendix B. Laboratory analyses performed on the samples are
summarized in Table 1.

3.0 Findings
3.1 Analytical Results
The laboratory analytical results and field parameter data for the groundwater samples (from monitoring
wells MW-01 through MW-07), surface water samples (SW-01 and SW-02), domestic well samples (DW-01
and DW-02), and the leachate sample (LT-01) collected at the landfill are included in Appendices A and B in
hard copy and also in Appendix C, in the EDD format, which was specified by the SWS of the DWM in a
memorandum dated October 27, 2006 and its addendum dated February 23, 2007, as well as in the May 5,
2010 update.
As stipulated in the DWM documents referenced above, all laboratory analytical results were reported and
appropriately qualified. Non-detections, which are values reported by the laboratory as below method
detection limits (MDLs), are tabulated on Table 2 and in the EDD at MDL levels, and are qualified with the
“U” qualifier. The MDL is the minimum concentration of a substance that can be measured and reported by
a laboratory with 99 percent confidence that the constituent concentration is greater than zero. All
detections (values above the MDL) were compared to constituent-specific Solid Waste Section Limits
(SWSLs) established by DEQ. The SWSL is defined as the lowest concentration of a constituent in a sample
that can be quantitatively determined with suitable precision and accuracy. A “J” qualifier is used by the
laboratory for parameters that are detected at estimated concentrations greater than the MDL but less than
the laboratory’s method reporting limit (MRL). The MRL is the minimum concentration of a target analyte
that can be accurately determined by the referenced method. If the reported concentration is greater than
the laboratory MDL and MRL but less than the SWSL, the analytical result is qualified as estimated, and is
flagged with a “J” qualifier (italicized J-flag) by Altamont per SWS reporting requirements. In addition to non-
detects, detected concentrations of constituents below the applicable SWSLs are included in Table 2. They
are not, however, reported in the text of this report, unless they exceed their applicable North Carolina water
quality standards (defined below).
Detected concentrations of constituents in groundwater samples were compared to the applicable North
Carolina groundwater quality standards. For most constituents, this standard is the 2L standard, from 15A
NCAC 2L.0202. Detected concentrations of analytes in groundwater with no established 2L standard were
compared either to the interim maximum allowable concentrations (IMACs) for Class GA and GSA
groundwater (in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0202 [c]) or Groundwater Protection Standards (GWPS),
pursuant to 15A NCAC 13B.1634.
Detections of analytes in surface-water samples were compared to the surface-water quality standards
described in 15A NCAC 2B (2B standards).
Table 2 presents the summary of detected compounds only. Table 3 presents all analytical results that were
above the applicable SWSLs. Table 4 presents only the concentrations of analytes detected in groundwater
and/or surface water samples that exceeded their respective 2L standards (including IMACs, if applicable),
GWPSs, or 2B standards.
In the EDD (Appendix C) the identification of a well (“WELL ID”) consists of the name of the well prefaced by
the un-hyphenated permit number for the facility. For example, monitoring well MW-01 is identified on the
tables as 5002-MW01. In the tables and figures, however, the identification of a well consists of the name of
the well without the permit number associated with the facility.

3.1.1 Groundwater
Analytical results for groundwater samples collected from the monitoring wells are discussed in the following
sections.
3.1.1.1 Metals
Seventeen metals were detected in the groundwater samples collected from one or more of the monitoring
wells. Nine detected metals (barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, vanadium, and
zinc) were present in samples collected from one or more of the monitoring wells at concentrations above
the associated SWSLs (Tables 2 and 3).
Six metals (cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, thallium, and vanadium) were detected in samples collected
from one or more of the monitoring wells at concentrations above their associated groundwater quality
standards (Tables 2 and 4).
3.1.1.2 VOCs
Ten VOCs were detected in the groundwater samples collected from one or more of the monitoring wells
(Table 2). Seven VOCs (1,1-dichloroethane, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, benzene, chlorobenzene, cis-1,2-
dichloroethene, and vinyl chloride) were detected at concentrations at or above their respective SWSLs
(Tables 2 and 3).
Five VOCs (1,1-dichloroethane, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, benzene, tetrachloroethene, and vinyl chloride) were
detected at concentrations above their respective 2L standards (Tables 2 and 4). Concentration-versus-time
graphs were created for samples from those monitoring wells that had VOC concentrations over their 2L
standards. The graphs are shown on Figures 4 through 18.
3.1.1.3 Chlorinated Herbicides
There were no chlorinated herbicides detected in any groundwater samples collected from the monitoring
wells.
3.1.1.4 Natural Attenuation Parameters
Groundwater samples collected from all monitoring wells were analyzed for additional parameters as follows:
alkalinity, BOD, COD, carbon dioxide, chloride, cyanide, ethane, ethene, hydrogen, iron (ferrous), methane,
nitrogen, nitrate, sulfate, sulfide, TOC, and Volatile Fatty Acids (Table 1). All parameters were detected in
samples collected from one or more monitoring wells (Table 2). Ferrous iron was the only parameter
detected above its applicable 2L groundwater standard in one or more monitoring wells. The results will be
used in a comprehensive Corrective Action Evaluation Report to be submitted in the fall of 2016, which is
five years after the CAP was approved by the SWS.
3.1.1.5 Field Parameters
During groundwater sampling on October 13 and 14, 2015 pH readings were obtained. The pH readings
obtained from samples collected from all monitoring wells, except for monitoring well MW-05R, were below
the acceptable pH range of 6.5 to 8.5 SU specified in 15A NCAC 02L .0202[c] (Tables 2 and 4).
The highest turbidity (417 nephelometric turbidity units [NTUs]) was measured in the groundwater sample
collected from well MW-05R. The lowest turbidity was measured (0.32 NTU) in the groundwater sample
collected from well MW-04.

3.1.2 Surface Water
The following sections summarize analytical results associated with the two surface water samples collected
during the fall 2015 sampling event.
3.1.2.1 Metals
Ten metals (barium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, thallium, and zinc) were
detected in one or both surface water samples collected (Table 2). All concentrations were below their
respective SWSLs. Mercury was detected above its 2B surface water standard in both surface water
samples.
3.1.2.2 VOCs
VOCs were not detected in either of the collected surface water samples.
3.1.2.3 Chlorinated Herbicides
Chlorinated herbicides were not detected in either of the collected surface water samples.
3.1.2.4 Cyanide and Sulfide
Neither cyanide nor sulfide was detected in either of the collected surface water samples.
3.1.2.5 Field Parameters
During the surface water sample collection on October 14, 2015 pH readings were obtained. The pH
readings measured in both samples were within the 2B standard range established at 6.0 SU to 9.0 SU.
Turbidity measured in surface water sample SW-02 was above the applicable 2B standard, which is
established at 50 NTU for the receiving water in streams not designated as trout waters. Due to high water
levels this sample could not be safely collected from a running portion of the river and had to be collected
from stagnant water.
DO was measured at 10.85 mg/L in SW-02 and 11.01 mg/L in SW-01. The 2B standard indicates “not less
than 5.0 mg/L”.
2B standards do not exist for the remaining field parameters measured in the surface water samples.
3.1.3 Leachate
The leachate sample (LT-01) was collected from the flow equalization tank and analyzed for Appendix I VOCs
only. Eleven VOCs were detected in the collected sample (Table 2). Five VOCs (1,4-dichlorobenzene,
benzene, chlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, and naphthalene) were found at concentrations above their
respective SWSLs (Tables 2 and 3).
3.1.4 Domestic Well Groundwater
The domestic well groundwater samples (DW-01 and DW-02) were collected and analyzed for VOCs using
EPA method 524.2. None of the analyzed VOCs were detected at concentrations above their laboratory
method detection limits.
One of the field parameters in domestic well sample DW-02, pH, was measured on October 13, 2015 and
the reading was below (6.02) the pH range of 6.5 to 8.5 SU established as the 2L standard. Turbidity for
domestic well samples DW-01 and DW-02 was measured at 23.20 NTU and 22.16 NTU, respectively.

3.2 Groundwater Flow Direction
Groundwater levels in the saprolite and bedrock are monitored at the closed MSWLF. Three bedrock
monitoring wells, MW-01, MW-02, and MW-06, are located in the northern and northwestern portions of the
site (Figure 3 and Table 5). Bedrock monitoring well (MW-07) is located south of the landfill (Figure 3). The
fall 2015 water level data collected from these four bedrock wells were used to determine generalized
bedrock groundwater flow direction, which is to the south-southwest (Figure 3).
Monitoring wells MW-03, MW-04, and MW-05R (Figure 3), located in the central and southern parts of the
landfill, are in saprolite (including partially weathered rock [PWR]) water-bearing zone). The fall 2015 water-
level data collected from monitoring wells MW-03, MW-04, and MW-05R (Table 5) indicate that groundwater
flow direction in the saprolite and PWR is also generally to the southwest, toward the Tuckasegee River
(Figure 3).

4.0 Summary
The second semiannual water quality monitoring event of 2015 was conducted on October 13 and 14, 2015
at the Jackson County closed MSWLF. Tables 2, 3, and 4 of this report, Reports of Laboratory Analysis
(Appendix B), and the EDD (Appendix C) provide detailed analytical results and field data summarizing the
groundwater and surface water quality at the landfill.
4.1 Groundwater Quality
4.1.1 Monitoring Wells
4.1.1.1 Metals
Six metals (cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, thallium, and vanadium) were detected at concentrations
above their respective water quality standards in the groundwater samples collected from one or more of the
monitoring wells during the fall 2015 water quality monitoring event (Tables 2 and 4).
Cadmium was detected only in the sample collected from monitoring well MW-01 at a concentration of 15
µg/L, which is in excess of the 2L standard of 2 µg/L. Cadmium exceeded its 2L standard in this monitoring
well during the spring 2015 event. Historical concentrations have ranged from 0.9 J µg/L to 15 ug/L, with
the maximum concentration of 15 µg/L occurring during this sampling event.
Chromium exceeded its 2L groundwater standard of 10 µg/L in groundwater samples collected from
monitoring wells MW-02 and MW-05R. Historical concentrations of chromium in MW-02 range from 0.42 J
µg/L to 44 µg/L, the highest being recorded during this sampling event. Historical concentrations in MW-05R
range from 0.53 J µg/L to 68.3 µg/L, the highest recorded during the October 2012 monitoring event.
During this event, MW-02 and MW-05R had turbidity readings of 241.4 and 417.0 NTUs, respectively.
Samples collected with high turbidity readings may result in elevated metals concentrations, due to the high
amount of suspended solids.
Cobalt was detected in six groundwater samples at concentrations ranging between 3.1 µg/L (estimated
with “J” flag) in MW-04 to 150 µg/L in MW-01, exceeding the applicable IMAC of 1 µg/L. Cobalt has
historically been present above its water quality standard in the groundwater samples from at least five of
the seven monitoring wells. Historically, cobalt concentrations in MW-01 have ranged from 27.4 µg/L to 321
µg/L, the highest being recorded during the October 2013 sampling event.
The lead concentration in the sample collected from MW-02 was equal to the applicable 2L standard of 15
µg/L. This event was the first time lead was detected in this monitoring well. This lead exceedance is likely
due to the unusually high turbidity recorded for the sample collected from monitoring well MW-02.
Thallium was detected in five groundwater samples at concentrations ranging from 0.21 µg/L (estimated
with “J” flag) in MW-07, to 2.0 in MW-02 (flagged with italicized “J”). While all detections of thallium were
below the SWSL, five of the seven detections exceeded the IMAC groundwater standard of 0.2 µg/L.
Thallium has historically been present in groundwater samples collected from six of the seven monitoring
wells.
Vanadium was detected in monitoring wells MW-02 and MW-05R at concentrations of 61 µg/L and 24 µg/L
(flagged with italicized “J”), respectively. Both detections exceed the IMAC groundwater standard of 0.3 µg/L.
Prior to this sampling event, vanadium was detected during two other sampling events in monitoring well
MW-02. Both prior vanadium detections were below the IMAC standard. This vanadium exceedance is likely
due to the unusually high turbidity recorded for the sample collected from MW-02. Vanadium has exceeded
IMAC standards in MW-05R during three prior sampling events, with concentrations ranging from 11.4 J µg/L
to 89.0 µg/L. Historically, this well has had turbidity readings that range from 60.15 NTUs to 850.8 NTUs.

Jackson County Closed Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Page 10
P:\Jackson County\Dillsboro GW\Reports\2015\Fall\5002Oct2015Semiannual Water Quality Report160210.Docx
Turbidity was measured at a range of 0.32 NTU (the lowest) detected in monitoring well MW-04 to 417 NTUs
(the highest) in well MW-05R. Turbidity in monitoring well MW-02 was recorded at 241.4 NTUs, which is the
highest turbidity reading recorded for MW-02 when compared to historical results. Turbidity readings for MW-
02 have ranged between 0.00 NTUs and 53.34 NTUs prior to this sampling event. The high turbidity for MW-
02 may explain the unusually higher metals concentrations detected in MW-02 during this sampling event.
4.1.1.2 VOCs
Five VOCs (1,1-dichloroethane, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, benzene, tetrachloroethene, and vinyl chloride) were
detected at concentrations above their respective 2L standards (Tables 2 and 4). Concentration-versus-time
graphs were created for samples from those monitoring wells that had VOC concentrations over their 2L
standards during fall 2015 sampling event. The graphs are shown on Figures 4 through 18.
1,1-dichloroethane was detected in MW-06 at a concentration of 6.4 µg/L in excess of the 2L standard of 6
µg/L. This result is consistent with historic data (Figure 13).
1,4-dichlorobenzene exceeded the 2L standard of 6 µg/L in five groundwater samples. Concentrations of
1,4-dichlorobenzene have remained consistent over time (Figures 4, 7, 10, 14, 16). Concentrations of this
VOC fluctuate based on water levels in monitoring well MW-03, where concentrations are higher when the
groundwater elevation is lower (Figure 7).
Benzene was detected in five groundwater samples (MW-01, MW-04, MW-05R, MW-06, and MW-07) during
this sampling event at concentrations above the 2L standard. Review of the trend graphs (Figures 5, 8, 11,
15 and 17) shows concentrations to be consistent over time, with the exception of MW-01 which shows a
decrease in benzene concentrations.
Tetrachloroethene was detected in one monitoring well (MW-01), at a concentration of 0.85 µg/L (flagged
with italicized “J”). This concentration is below the SWSL but above the 2L standard of 0.7 µg/L and is
consistent with historic data from MW-01.
Vinyl chloride was detected in excess of its 2L standard in two groundwater samples (MW-04 and MW-05R)
collected during the fall 2015 sampling event. Review of Figure 9 shows vinyl chloride concentrations in MW-
04 have remained relatively consistent over time. Figure 12 shows that since MW-05R was first sampled in
April 2012, concentrations have generally increased slightly.
A review of historical groundwater data indicates that these five VOCs (1,1-dichloroethane, 1,4-
dichlorobenzene, benzene, tetrachloroethene, and vinyl chloride) have been detected at relatively consistent
concentrations for the past several years. Historical surface water samples from the Tuckasegee River,
which likely receives discharge from the saprolite groundwater-bearing zone, have consistently shown no
detections of these compounds, or any other VOCs.
4.1.1.3 Other Constituents
The pH results obtained for all sampled wells, aside from monitoring well MW-05R, were outside the
acceptable pH range (6.5 to 8.5 SU) established as the 2L standard. Although the results were outside the
acceptable range, they are consistent with historic pH readings and ranges that may be expected to be
naturally occurring in the region.
No other analytes were detected at or above groundwater standards in the samples collected from the
monitoring wells.
4.1.2 Domestic Wells
VOCs were not detected in the groundwater sample collected from either of the domestic wells (DW-01 and
DW-02).

4.2 Surface Water Quality
Ten metals were detected in one or both surface water samples SW-01 (upstream of the landfill) and SW-02
(downstream of the landfill). Mercury was detected at concentrations of 0.016 J µg/L and 0.012 J µg/L for
surface water samples SW-01 and SW-02, respectively. These concentrations equaled or exceeded the 2B
surface water standard of 0.012 µg/L for mercury. All other detected metals were below their respective 2B
surface water standards.
Sulfide was detected in SW-01 and SW-02 at concentrations of 1,400 µg/L and 1,600 µg/L, respectively.
These concentrations exceed the SWSL for sulfide. Sulfide does not have an established 2B surface water
standard.
Since the upstream sample concentrations are essentially equal to the downstream sample concentrations,
the analyses support that the groundwater discharging from under the landfill into the Tuckasegee River is
not impacting surface water quality.
Turbidity in surface water sample SW-02 exceeded the 2B surface water standard of 50 NTUs. This
exceedance can be attributed to high river levels forcing sampling personnel to collect the sample from
stagnant water near the bank of the river.
4.3 Leachate Quality
Six VOCs (1,4-dichlorobenzene, benzene, chlorobenzene, naphthalene, o-xylene, and tetrahydrofuran) were
found at concentrations above their respective SWSLs (Tables 2 and 3).
On September 1, 2012, leachate extraction was initiated following installation of the leachate extraction
pumps in 10 Landfill Gas (LFG) extraction wells. Between April 21, 2015 and October 13, 2015,
approximately 36,720 gallons of leachate were discharged through a permanent connection to the TWSA
(Table 6). Since leachate extraction began, a total of approximately 256,685 gallons of leachate has been
extracted and/or discharged from the landfill (Table 6).
In fall 2013 the active portion of the approved correction action remedy was initiated. Based on the leachate
analytical results for the sample collected on October 13, 2015, Altamont estimates that 0.03981 pounds of
VOCs were removed with the extracted leachate between the April 2015 and the October 2015 sampling
events. Mass removal calculations are included in Table 6.

5.0 Future Activities
Altamont will continue to monitor the water quality on a semiannual basis at the Jackson County Closed
Municipal Solid Waste landfill. During the fall of each year domestic well owners will be contacted and
groundwater samples will be collected from domestic wells if permitted to do so by the well owner and
possible to do so based upon well pump operability. Domestic well samples will be analyzed for VOCs only.
Samples will be collected from monitoring wells, surface water monitoring points, and the leachate flow
equalization tank during the spring and fall of each year. In addition to the natural attenuation parameters
that were added as part of the approved corrective action, the analytical suites associated with the current
and future sampling events are as follows:
Sampling Event Analytical Suite (not inclusive of natural attenuation parameters)
Spring 2016 Appendix I VOCs
Appendix I metals
Fall 2016 Appendix II VOCs
Appendix II SVOCs
Appendix II metals
Appendix II herbicides
Appendix II Polychlorinated Biphenyls
Cyanide and sulfide
The leachate sample analysis, along with available leachate removal volume measurements between the fall
2015 and spring 2016 sampling events, will be used to estimate the mass of VOC extracted by the active
portion of the approved corrective action remedy.
The monitored natural attenuation results will be used in a comprehensive Corrective Action Evaluation
Report to be submitted in the fall of 2016, which is five years after the CAP was approved by the SWS.
The next sampling event is scheduled for April 2016.

Notes:
1.Only results, MDLs, MRLs, certification numbers, and methods for detected constituents are listed on this table. Please refer to Prism Report of Laboratory Analysis for further details.
2."Lab Method" is the analytical method used to analyze the constituents.
3."CAS NUMBER" is a unique number assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) to all identified parameters.
4."SWS ID" is the Solid Waste Section Identification Number.
5."Units" are micrograms per liter (µg/L) and milligrams per liter (mg/L) for analytical results, Standard Units (SU) for pH and nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) for turbidity.
6."Collect Date" is the date on which the sample was collected in the field.
7."Result" is analytical data reported by the laboratory or field data collected by Altamont.
8."MDL" is the method detection limit, which is the minimum concentration of a substance that can be measured and reported with 99% confidence that the analyte concentration is greater than zero.
9."MRL" is the method reporting limit, which is the minimum concentration of a target analyte that can be accurately determined by the referenced method. MRL equals PQL values in the Pace Analytical Reports.
10."SWSL" is the Solid Waste Section Limit. This limit (identified by DENR) is the lowest amount of analyte in a sample that can be quantitatively determined with suitable precision and accuracy.
11."U" is a laboratory data qualifier used for parameters not detected at concentrations above MDL.
12."J" is a laboratory data qualifier used for parameters detected at estimated concentrations above MDL but below MRL and SWSL.
An italicized "J" qualifier is assigned by Altamont to reflect a detected concentration that is greater than MRL and MDL but less than the SWSL.
13."2L" and "IMAC" (Interim Maximum Allowable Concentration) are groundwater standards from "North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A: Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Subchapter 2L - Groundwater
Classifications and Standards," DENR (Amended April 1, 2013).
14."GWPS" is the Groundwater Protection Standard pursuant to "15A NCAC 13B .1634," DENR. Current standards were obtained from http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/sw/envmonitoringlist (last updated June 13, 2011).
15."2B" indicates surface water standard per "North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A: Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Subchapter 2B - Surface Water and Wetland Standards," (last amended on May 1, 2007).
Where no 2B standard exists, the National Criteria per Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from standards Table (Current as of May 15, 2013) for the most stringent of fresh water and human health was used.
16.Bold numbers indicate any detection. Shaded cell indicates result in exceedance of the 2L or IMAC standard or greater than or equal to the GWPS (if no 2L or IMAC exist), and 2B standard if applicable.
17."NA" means Not Analyzed. "NE" indicates Not Established.
18.Samples DW-01 and DW-02 were analyzed by EPA Method 524.2. Method detection limits do not match those of EPA Method 8260.

Notes:
1. Only detected VOCs in leachate sample LT-01 are included in the mass removal calculation.
2. Leachate extraction at the landfill initiated on September 1, 2012.
3. Extraction volume measurements were recorded and provided by Jackson County staff.
4. Altamont bases mass removal calculations on the assumption that the VOCs concentration in one sampling event is
representative of leachate quality until the next sampling event occurs, and that the leachate removal system has a
100% removal and treatment efficiency.
5. The Cumulative Flow is interpolated between LT-01 Sample Dates.
6. The Differential Flow represents the total flow between the LT-01 Sample Dates.
7. Mass Removed and Treated is estimated based upon a conversion of milligrams to pounds and liters to gallons and
the multiplication of the Concentration by the Differential Flow for the specified period.
8. mg/L means milligrams per liter.
9. "J" indicates laboratory estimated concentration above the adjusted method detection limit and below the adjusted reporting limit.
