industrial, agricultural, or recreational use, is subject to review and approval by the Section
and must not disturb the integrity of the cap system, or the function of the monitoring
systems. The Section may approve any other disturbance if the owner or operator submits a
modified post-closure plan which describes the planned use of the property and demonstrates
that disturbance of the cap system, including any removal of waste, will not increase the
potential threat to human health or the environment. Post-closure uses approved by the
Section will be included in the List of Approved Documents.
5. All sedimentation and erosion control activities must be conducted in accordance with the
Sedimentation Control Act N.C.G.S. 113A-50, et seq., and rules promulgated under 15A
NCAC 4. All required sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and
operable to mitigate excessive on-site erosion and to prevent silt from leaving the area of the
landfill unit.
6. 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.
Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
7. Groundwater quality at the facility is subject to “Classifications and Water Quality Standards
Applicable to the Ground waters of North Carolina,” 15A NCAC 2L. This includes, but is
not limited to, the provisions for detection monitoring, assessment, and corrective action.
8. 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
Henderson County Transfer Station

DIN: 26611
Page 15 of 17
“Solid Waste Section Guidelines for Groundwater, Soil, and Surface Water Sampling,” dated
April 2008, available on the Section website.
9. 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. The monitoring report must be submitted in electronic format (pdf or tiff) and the
analytical data must be submitted in a spreadsheet format in an Electronic Data Deliverable
(EDD) Template. All monitoring reports must contain at a minimum:
a. a USGS topographic map,
b. a potentiometric surface map for the current sampling event that also includes surface
water sampling locations,
c. analytical NC certified laboratory reports with QA/QC information and summary tables,
d. a completed Solid Waste Environment Monitoring Data Form, and
e. laboratory data and field data submitted in accordance with the EDD Template.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. The owner must maintain the integrity of all groundwater and landfill gas monitoring wells,
including making repairs to well heads, covers, and surface pads and make sure all wells are
locked, during the post-closure period.
14. 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.
15. 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).

16. 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
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
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. All forms, reports, maps, plans, and data submitted to the Section must include an electronic
