Main Street, Suite 500 Monroe, NC 28112 County Representative: Ron Gilkerson, Solid Waste Division Director Union County Department of Public Works Consultant: Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. 1900 Center Park Drive, Suite A Charlotte. NC 28217 Consultant Contact: Edward H. Stephens, P.G. #1031 1.2 BACKGROUND Union County owns and operates a Solid Waste Management Facility in Wingate, North Carolina. A site vicinity map is provided in Figure 1. The Solid Waste Facility contains a closed unlined Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill and an active Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill. The North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules 15A NCAC 13B require that Union County monitor the quality of groundwater and surface water at the Union County Solid Waste Management Facility in accordance with an approved Groundwater Monitoring Plan, and to monitor for potential migrating landfill gas in accordance with an approved Methane Monitoring Plan. -2- Limited Soil Gas Assessment Report November 11, 2016 Low-level volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been detected in groundwater samples from monitoring well MW-1A, which is situated hydraulically upgradient of the landfill waste disposal area, during recent landfill monitoring events. These detections were reported to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Solid Waste Compliance Unit in past semi-annual monitoring reports. During a regulatory inspection of the landfill facility on July 6, 2016, the NCDEQ Hydrogeologist requested that a “quick” soil gas assessment be conducted in the area of the site monitored by MW-1A to determine whether landfill gas migration may be occurring between the landfill waste boundary and MW-1A. 1.3 VADOSE ZONE SOIL GAS EVALUATION The scope of the evaluation included the installation of three temporary soil gas sampling points and subsequent collection of soil gas samples for laboratory analyses of targeted constituents. As depicted on Figure 2, soil gas sampling points were located within the vadose zone between the landfill waste disposal area and upgradient groundwater monitoring well MW-1A. The initial approach for the vadose zone sampling was to collect soil gas from approximately one to two feet above the static water table. The targeted sampling depth was interpolated to be approximately 25 feet based on recent water level gauging in MW-1A. A Geoprobe® 7822DT using direct push technology (DPT) was employed to advance the soil borings to install the soil gas probes. DPT refusal in the weathered Slate Belt mudstone was encountered in the borings at depths from approximately 8.75 to 12 feet below ground surface. Thus, soil gas sampling points were set at these depths. The subsurface materials encountered were gray to brown to yellow mottled clayey silts to silty clays. At each selected sampling location, a pilot hole was advanced using Geoprobe DPT to facilitate the installation of a soil gas sampling tip and tubing. A specially designed stainless steel vapor sampling tip was installed at the bottom of the soil boring. Teflon tubing (1/4-in OD) was connected to each tip and extended to above the ground surface to allow for the collection of a soil gas sample. Filter sand was placed in the annular space around the vapor sampling tip to one foot above the tip. The remainder of the open soil boring was sealed with hydrated bentonite. -3- Limited Soil Gas Assessment Report November 11, 2016 The temporary soil gas sampling probes were then marked with high-visibility traffic cones, and the sampling points were allowed to equilibrate several days prior to sample collection. Prior to each sample collection, CEC used a hand pump to evacuate at least three tubing volumes of air from each soil gas probe. Soil gas sampling was performed at a flow rate of approximately 200 milliliters per minute to limit the potential for short-circuiting. Soil gas samples were collected from each probe using 1.4 L Summa canisters and were subsequently submitted to Enthalpy Analytical, Inc. for analyses of methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen by ASTM D1946-90 Canister Analysis and low-level VOC analysis by EPA Method TO-15. The soil gas samples were transported under chain-of-custody protocol to the analytical laboratory 1.4 HEADSPACE GAS SAMPLING IN GROUNDWATER MONITORING WELL MW-1A A gas sample was also collected from the well headspace of MW-1A in which VOCs have been detected. Plastic tubing was lowered into the groundwater monitoring to a few feet above the gauged water level to collect the well headspace sample. The sampling flow rate was limited to approximately 200 milliliters per minute into a 1.4 L Summa canister. This canister was submitted along with the soil gas samples accompanied by a chain-of-custody record to Enthalpy Analytical, Inc. for analyses of methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen using ASTM D1946-90 Canister Analysis and low-level VOC analysis using EPA Method TO-15. -4- Limited Soil Gas Assessment Report November 11, 2016 2.0 DATA EVALUATION 2.1 COMPARISON OF SOIL GAS AND WELL HEADSPACE DATA The laboratory analytical data detections for the soil gas and well headspace samples are tabulated in Table 1. Elevated methane and carbon dioxide were detected in the soil gas samples. However, methane and carbon dioxide were not detected in the well headspace sample from groundwater monitoring well MW-1A. The absence of elevated methane and carbon dioxide in the well headspace sample could indicate that 1) MW-1A is not impacted by landfill gas, or 2) the well screen in MW-1A is below the water table such that landfill gas cannot enter the well headspace via the vadose zone. A well construction record could not be located for MW-1A. However, recent well depth and water level gauging provided respective measurements of 50 feet and 29 feet below ground surface. The screen interval is not likely 20 feet, so it would appear that the well has limited to no headspace directly in contact with the vadose zone. As shown in Table 1, similar VOCs where detected in the MW-1A headspace sample as were identified in the soil gas samples. Chloromethane, ethyl acetate, methyl methacrylate, 2- hexanone, styrene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, and naphthalene were detected in the well headspace sample but not in the soil gas samples. Conversely, 1,3-butadiene and methylene chloride were not detected in the well headspace sample yet were detected in at least two soil gas samples. In general, the VOCs detected in the soil gas samples at the most elevated concentrations correspond with the VOCs historically detected in the aqueous phase in MW-1A. These VOCs include benzene, dichlorodifluoromethane, 1,1-dichloroethane, cis-1,2-dichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, trichloroethene, and vinyl chloride. Observed VOC gas concentrations in the well headspace sample are generally one to two orders of magnitude lower that the soil gas VOC concentrations. As provided in Table 2, calculated equilibrium gas concentrations from VOC concentrations detected in the MW-1A groundwater sample multiplied by the respective Henry’s Constant results indicates that the observed well headspace gas concentrations are not high enough to have resulted in the observed groundwater -5- Limited Soil Gas Assessment Report November 11, 2016 concentrations as calculated with the equilibrium air-water partition coefficients. The low level VOC gas concentrations may be the result of dilution within the well headspace. It seems likely that the headspace gas concentrations would be higher if the gas sample was collected from a finite interval immediately above the groundwater surface in the well. 2.2 EVALUATION OF OBSERVED AND CALCULATED EQUILIBRIUM SOIL AND WELL HEADSPACE DATA In the attached Table 2, the air-water partition coefficients, also known as Henry’s Law constants, for the selected VOCs were used to calculate the equilibrium groundwater concentration (EGWC) of the compound as a result of interaction with the observed soil gas concentration (OGC) either in the groundwater well headspace or the soil gas probes. The EGWC was compared with the respective observed groundwater concentration (OGWC) detected in MW-1A during the most recent May 2016 monitoring event. EGWCs calculated for the selected compounds detected in the nearest soil gas probe (SGP-1) indicate a similar fingerprint as the OGWCs previously detected in MW-1A. Similar compounds and higher observed soil gas concentrations for several VOCs were observed in SGP-3 also located upgradient of the landfill waste area yet downgradient of SGP-1 and MW-1A and closer to the landfill waste area. These data do not necessarily indicate that landfill gas is the source of the groundwater impacts in MW-1A; however, the distribution of the soil gas data does indicate a potential that landfill gas is a likely source of the groundwater VOCs. If we assume that the system is at disequilibrium but tends toward equilibrium, then comparing the observed gas concentration (OGC) with the calculated equilibrium gas concentration (EGC), which is the observed groundwater concentration (OGWC) multiplied by the respective Henry’s Constant (H), can provide an indication of the direction of VOC partitioning (Morris, H.H., The Potential for Landfill Gas to Impact Ground Water Quality). Several of the predominant VOCs that have been previously detected in the area groundwater and were also detected in the soil gas samples are evaluated in Table 3. The Table 3 comparison evaluation shows for several VOCs (e.g., trichloroethene, cis-1,2-dichloroethene, and benzene) that partitioning of VOCs from the soil gas to groundwater is indicated by the sample data. Also, the comparisons for 1,1- -6- Limited Soil Gas Assessment Report November 11, 2016 dichloroethane and tetrachloroethene indicate similar orders of concentrations that appear to show the potential for partitioning from soil gas to groundwater. The comparisons for other detected VOCs (e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane and vinyl chloride) indicate partitioning of VOCs from groundwater to soil gas. The conclusions of this evaluation are mixed; however, it is clear that the VOC concentrations detected in the soil gas samples are high enough to have resulted in the observed groundwater concentrations as calculated with the equilibrium air-water partition coefficients. -7- Limited Soil Gas Assessment Report November 11, 2016 3.0 FINDINGS The following findings are drawn from our evaluation of the landfill gas and groundwater quality data: • Similar VOCs where detected in the soil gas probes and groundwater well MW-1A headspace samples. The detected VOCs with typically the most elevated concentrations were propylene, benzene, hexane, dichlorodifluoromethane, 1,1-dichloroethane, cis-1,2- dichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, trichloroethene, and vinyl chloride. • Soil gas VOC concentrations were most elevated in soil gas probe (SGP-1) located in proximity to monitoring well MW-1A. Also noted, soil gas VOC concentrations were significantly elevated in SGP-3, which was located approximately 30 feet from the landfill waste disposal area and 175 feet hydraulically downgradient of MW-1A. These data do not necessarily indicate that landfill gas is the source of the groundwater impacts in MW-1A; however, the distribution of the soil gas data does indicate a potential that landfill gas is a likely source of the groundwater VOCs. • No methane or carbon dioxide was detected in the headspace gas sample collected at MW-1A. The absence of methane and carbon dioxide in the well headspace sample is not unexpected because the well screen in MW-1A appears to be below the water table so that landfill gas that may occur in the vadose zone cannot migrate into the well headspace. Also, VOC gas concentrations in the well headspace sample are generally one to two orders of magnitude lower that the soil gas VOC concentrations. The low level VOC gas concentrations in the well headspace sample may be the result of dilution within the well headspace and/or due to the well screen being below the water table. • The calculated equilibrium gas concentrations for several detected VOCs (i.e., trichloroethene, cis-1,2-dichloroethene, and benzene) are less than the observed gas concentrations indicating the potential for partitioning of VOCs from the gas phase to the aqueous phase. Also, the comparisons for 1,1-dichloroethane and tetrachloroethene -8- Limited Soil Gas Assessment Report November 11, 2016 indicate similar orders of concentrations that appear to show the potential for partitioning from soil gas to groundwater. The comparisons for other detected VOCs (e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane and vinyl chloride) indicate partitioning of VOCs from groundwater to soil gas. The conclusions of this evaluation are mixed; however, it is clear that the VOC concentrations detected in the soil gas samples are high enough to have resulted in the observed groundwater concentrations as calculated with the equilibrium air-water partition coefficients. • A site-specific checklist is presented below based on what researchers have identified where landfill gas may be the source of groundwater contamination. SITE CONDITION POTENTIAL FOR LANDFILL GAS TO IMPACT GROUNDWATER YES NO Presence of migrating landfill gas is confirmed in soil or landfill gas wells. x VOCs are in some cases detected in upgradient groundwater monitoring wells. x Direct relationship between the landfill gas and gases observed in the headspace of monitoring wells x VOC detected in groundwater was either the same compound or a degradation product of the VOC found in the landfill gas. x Typical detected VOC parameters are associated with vapor migration in landfills x Low levels of VOCs are detected above background values x VOC concentrations in groundwater are reduced during landfill mitigation No landfill gas mitigation is occurring at the site -9- Limited Soil Gas Assessment Report November 11, 2016 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS The data collected and evaluated during this limited soil gas study indicate that significant landfill gas concentrations exist at the southeast perimeter of the landfill waste disposal area in the vadose zone (just above the Geoprobe DPT refusal depth of approximately 8.75 to 12 feet below ground surface) between the buried waste mass and upgradient groundwater monitoring well MW-1A. These data also confirm that landfill gas is migrating beyond the waste boundaries, but not beyond the Methane Compliance Monitoring Boundary as referenced in the facility’s Quarterly Methane Gas Monitoring Data Reports. The limited data also appear to indicate that migrating landfill gas has impacted groundwater in the vicinity of monitoring well MW-1A. Due to the limited scope of the soil gas assessment, it is CEC’s opinion that gas probes should be installed along the unused portion of the waste disposal area along the southeastern perimeter to 1) verify the presence of landfill gas within the landfill mass; 2) confirm the potential for landfill gas to impact MW-1A; and 3) provide data to design a passive landfill gas control system, if warranted.
