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). Henderson County Transfer Station August 30, 2016 DIN: 26611 Page 16 of 17 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 (pdf) copy. PART II: MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL UNIT(S) 4501-MSWLF-1980, Henderson County Landfill Permitting History Specific Conditions Henderson County Transfer Station August 30, 2016 DIN: 26611 Page 17 of 17 20. The owner must provide post-closure care and monitoring for the landfill. The post-closure period began December 2004. After at least five years of post-closure care and monitoring, the landfill owner may submit a written request to modify or discontinue post-closure care and monitoring, depending upon the results of the previous monitoring. However, the owner must continue to conduct water quality monitoring, landfill gas monitoring, and post-closure care until the Section provides written approval to discontinue monitoring and/or post- closure care. 21. The MSW landfill stopped receiving waste on December 1997. PART III: CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS LANDFILL UNIT(S) 4501-CDLF-1998, Henderson County C&D Landfill Specific Conditions 22. The owner must provide post-closure care and monitoring for the landfill. The post-closure period began November 17, 2009. After at least five years of post-closure care and monitoring, the landfill owner may submit a written request to modify or discontinue post- closure care and monitoring, depending upon the results of the previous monitoring. However, the owner must continue to conduct water quality monitoring, landfill gas monitoring, and post-closure care until the Section provides written approval to discontinue monitoring and/or post-closure care. 23. The C&D landfill stopped receiving waste on June 30, 2008. 24. Any proposed expansion to the closed C&D landfill unit will be considered a new landfill for purposes of Solid Waste Management permitting.
