Re: Soil and Surface Water Sampling and Analysis Report
Moore County C&D Landfill
Moore County
Solid Waste Permit Number 6301
DIN 27084

Dear Mr. Beane:
The Solid Waste Section has completed a review of the Soil and Surface Water Sampling and Analysis
Report dated November 30, 2016 (DIN 27083) and submitted on behalf of Moore County by Golder
Associates for the Moore County C&D Landfill, Solid Waste Permit Number 6301. The report was
submitted in response to the approved Sampling and Analysis Plan In Response To Leachate Release dated
October 25, 2016 (DINs 26912 and 26913).

Subsurface soil sampling was conducted on October 31, 2016 to evaluate the extent of the potential
environmental impacts from the release. The soil samples were analyzed for Appendix I constituents and
pH. A surface water sample was not collected from the sediment pond as originally proposed since the
sediment pond was dry.

The analytical soil results indicated no volatile organic compounds exceeded the Preliminary Soil
Remediation Goals (PSRGs). However, arsenic, thallium, and vanadium were detected above their
Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs) for the Protection of Groundwater and the Residential Health
Based in all of the soil samples including the background soil sample.

As a result, based upon the soil assessment conducted at the landfill, no additional environmental
assessment associated with this leachate release is required at this time. If you have any questions or
concerns regarding this letter, please feel free to contact me at 828.296.4706 or by email at
[e-mail]. Thank you for your continued cooperation with this matter.

Sincerely,
