RE: Burke County, Kirksey Drive Landfill,
Permit Number 12-01
Landfill Gas Monitoring Report – Second Quarter 2016
JOYCE Project No. 277.1601.12, Task 04
Dear Mr. Hollifield;
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with the results for the second quarter 2016 landfill
gas monitoring event at the closed Kirksey Drive Landfill. Gas probes GP-1, GP-2, GP-3, GP-4, GP-5,
and GP-6, the Burke County Animal Shelter, and the Friends for Animals building were monitored on
May 17-18, 2016. Methane was detected above the lower explosive limit (LEL) in gas probes GP-3,
GP-4, and GP-6. There were no detections and no exceedances in either the County Animal Shelter or
the Friends for Animals building, or the remaining gas probes. These results are consistent with
previous results.
Tables 1 and 2 summarize the methane detections and exceedances for this event, and the
attached Landfill Gas Monitoring Log presents the field monitoring data. A site map showing the gas
probe locations is also attached. We have included an EMRF and will forward a copy of this report to
Jaclynne Drummond with the NCDEQ Solid Waste Section. This report should be added to the
facility’s records.
A Landfill Gas Remediation Plan for this facility was submitted on August 3, 2015 and was
approved on August 13, 2015. Four passive landfill gas vents were installed on May 18, 2016, near the
locations proposed in the Remediation Plan. The next quarterly monitoring event is tentatively
scheduled for August 2016. If we can provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to call
me at (336) 323-0092.
Sincerely,
JOYCE ENGINEERING
