APRIL/MAY 2014 SAMPLING
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Sixteen monitoring wells and four stream locations at the Rutherford County Central Sanitary
Landfill were sampled April 28-May 1, 2014. Six of the wells (8103-MW-2, 8103-MW-4, 8103-
MW-6, 8103-MW-7, 8103-MW-8, and 8103-MW-9) comprise the Subtitle D groundwater
monitoring system for the municipal solid waste disposal area of the landfill. Six monitoring wells
comprising two well nests (8103-MW-10A, 8103-MW-10B, 8103-MW-10C, 8103-MW-10D, 8103-
MW-11A, and 8103-MW-11B) were installed in August 1998 to provide additional data on the
nature and extent of the contaminant plume emanating from the disposal area. 8103-MW-10A has
an extremely slow recharge rate and is not used as a sampling location. Five monitoring wells
(8103-MW-3, 8103-MW-12, 8103-MW-13, 8103-MW-14, and 8103-MW-15) comprise the
groundwater monitoring system for the construction and demolition (C&D) and yard waste
disposal areas and the transfer station facility. 8103-MW-2 provides the upgradient groundwater
data for the closed MSW and C&D sections of the facility. All sampling was conducted in
accordance with North Carolina Solid Waste Management Guidelines.
Samples from 8103-MW-2, 8103-MW-3, 8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-6, 8103-MW-7, 8103-MW-8,
8103-MW-9, 8103-MW-10B, 8103-MW-10C, 8103-MW-10D, 8103-MW-11A, 8103-MW-11B,
8103-MW-12, 8103-MW-13, 8103-MW-14, and 8103-MW-15 were submitted to a North Carolina
certified laboratory for analysis using the Federal Appendix I list of constituents for detection
monitoring. The Appendix I detection monitoring constituent list is a subset of the Federal
Appendix II assessment monitoring constituent list. Samples from 8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-6,
8103-MW-7, 8103-MW-8, and 8103-MW-9 were analyzed for the Appendix II assessment
monitoring constituents. Samples from 8103-MW-10B, 8103-MW-10C, 8103-MW-10D, 8103-
MW-11A, and 8103-MW-11B were also analyzed for triggered Federal Appendix II assessment
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 1
monitoring constituents. In this report, the term "triggered Appendix II constituent" refers to any
Appendix II constituent not included in the Appendix I list that was detected above the quantitation
limit established by the Solid Waste Section during previous sampling events. Samples from
surface water sampling locations 8103-SW-2, 8103-SW-3, 8103-SW-4, and 8103-SW-5 were
analyzed for Federal Appendix I detection monitoring constituents.
In addition to Appendix I and triggered Appendix II parameters, samples from 8103-MW-2, 8103-
MW-4, 8103-MW-6, 8103-MW-9, 8103-MW-10D, and 8103-MW-11A were analyzed for the MNA
parameters set forth in the NC Solid Waste Section CAP approval letter dated August 17, 2007.
The results of the laboratory analyses and field tests for the MNA parameters are discussed in
Section 5.3.
In addition to Appendix I and triggered Appendix II parameters, samples from 8103-MW-2, 8103-
MW-3, 8103-MW-12, 8103-MW-13, 8103-MW-14, and 8103-MW-15 were analyzed for the C&D
parameters set forth in the NC Solid Waste Section approved monitoring plan. Surface water
samples 8103-SW-2, 8103-SW-3, and 8103-SW-4 were also analyzed for the C&D parameters.
The results of the laboratory analyses for the C&D parameters are discussed in Section 5.4.
Results from the sixteen monitoring wells sampled indicate that six Appendix I inorganic
constituents (antimony in 8102-MW-10B, 8102-MW-10C, 8102-MW-and 8102-MW-11B;
chromium in 8103-MW-10B, 8102-MW-10C, and 8102-MW-11B; cobalt in 8103-MW-3, 8103-

8103-MW-11A, 8102-MW-12, 8102-MW-14, and 8103-MW-15; and vanadium in 8102-MW-2,
8103-MW-3, 8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-6, 8103-MW-7, 8103-MW-10B, 8103-MW-10C, 8103-MW-
11A, 8103-MW-11B, 8103-MW-12, 8103-MW-13, 8103-MW-14, and 8103-MW-15) were present
in concentrations exceeding the 15A NCAC 2L Standards for Class GA Groundwater (2L) or NC
Groundwater Protection (NCGP) Standards. Ten Appendix I inorganic constituents (barium,
beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc) were detected in
one or more of the monitoring well samples at concentrations at or above the Method Detection
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 2
Limits (MDLs), but below the 2L or NCGP Standards. The above totals include those constituents
detected at or above the MDLs, but below the Solid Waste Section Limits (J values).
Concentrations of five Appendix I volatile organic constituents (1,2-dichloropropane in 8103-MW-
9; 1,4-dichlorobenzene in 8103-MW-6; benzene in 8103-MW-6 and 8103-MW-10D;
tetrachloroethene in 8103-MW-10D; and vinyl chloride in 8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-6, 8103-MW-
10D, 8103-MW-11A, and 8103-MW-13) exceeded the 2L or NCGP Standards on the date the
samples were collected. Twelve Appendix I volatile organic constituents (1,1-dichloroethane; 1,1-
dichloroethene; 1,2-dichlorobenzene; 1,4-dichlorobenzene; benzene; chlorobenzene; chloroethane;
cis-1,2-dichloroethene; tetrachloroethene; total xylenes; trichloroethene; and
trichlorofluoromethane) were detected in one or more of the monitoring well samples at
concentrations at or above the MDLs, but below the 2L or NCGP Standards. The above totals
include those constituents detected at or above the MDLs, but below the Solid Waste Section
Limits (J values).
No Appendix II triggered constituents exceeded the 2L or NCGP Standards on the dates the
samples were collected. Three Appendix II triggered constituents (1,3-dichlorobenzene;
dichlorodifluoromethane; and mercury) were detected in one or more of the monitoring well
samples at concentrations at or above the MDLs, but below the 2L Standards. The above totals
include those constituents detected at or above the MDLs, but below the Solid Waste Section
Limits (J values).
In addition to the triggered Appendix II constituents noted above, one Appendix II constituent
(acenaphthene in 8103-MW-6) was detected at a concentration below the 2L Standard and below
the Solid Waste Section limit.
Surface water samples were collected from creeks along the northern, western, and southern
perimeters of the landfill property.
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 3
No Appendix I inorganic constituents were detected in concentrations that exceeded the 15A
NCAC 2B Standards for Class B/C Surface Waters (2B). Two Appendix I inorganic constituents
(silver in 8103-SW-4 and zinc in 8103-SW-3 and 8103-SW-5A) were detected in concentrations
that exceeded the Recommended Action Levels. One Appendix I inorganic constituent (lead) was
detected in surface water samples at concentrations at or above the Method Detection Limits
(MDLs), but below the 15A NCAC 2B Standards for Class B/C Surface Waters (2B). Two
Appendix I inorganic constituents that do not have established standards (barium and vanadium)
were detected in one or more of the surface water samples at concentrations at or above the MDLs.
Two Appendix I inorganic constituents that have recommended action levels (copper and zinc)
were detected in one or more surface water samples at concentrations below the action level. No
volatile organic constituents were detected in any of the surface water samples.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
Central Sanitary Landfill is a Solid Waste Management Facility (SWMF) located off of Business
Highway 74 at the south end of Laurel Hill Drive south of Rutherfordton in Rutherford County,
North Carolina. Figure 1 is a map showing the site location. Groundwater and surface water
sampling locations are shown on Figure 2. Scarlett Geophysical Consulting, P.C. (SGC) was
contracted by Rutherford County to conduct sampling efforts to satisfy the following groundwater
monitoring requirements:
• 2013 semi-annual C&D water quality monitoring
• 2013 semi-annual Appendix I detection monitoring
• 2013 annual Appendix II assessment monitoring
• 2013 semi-annual Appendix I detection and Appendix II (triggered constituents only)
assessment monitoring for five supplemental wells installed in 1998
• 2013 semi-annual MNA monitoring
To complete the semi-annual C&D water quality monitoring requirement, samples from 8103-MW-
2, 8103-MW-3, 8103-MW-12, 8103-MW-13, 8103-MW-14, 8103-MW-15, 8103-SW-2, 8103-SW-
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 4
3, and 8103-SW-4 were analyzed for the Appendix I constituent list and the C&D parameters set
forth in the NC Solid Waste approved monitoring plan.
To complete the semi-annual Appendix I and annual Appendix II monitoring requirements,
samples from 8103-MW-2 and the four surface water sampling locations were analyzed for
Appendix I inorganics and volatile organics and samples from 8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-6, 8103-
MW-7, 8103-MW-8, and 8103-MW-9 were analyzed for the full list of Appendix II constituents.
To complete the semi-annual Appendix I and triggered Appendix II monitoring requirements for
the five assessment wells installed in August 1998, samples from 8103-MW-10B, 8103-MW-10C,
8103-MW-10D, 8103-MW-11A, and 8103-MW-11B were analyzed for the full list of Appendix I
constituents and triggered Appendix II constituents 1,3-dichlorobenzene; 1,3-dichloropropane;
dichlorodifluoromethane; 4,4'-DDD; 4,4'-DDT; alpha-BHC; beta-BHC; delta-BHC; endrin;
gamma-BHC (Lindane); and mercury.
Monitoring wells 8103-MW-6, 8103-MW-7, 8103-MW-8, and 8103-MW-9 were installed in
November 1994 and March 1995 after three of the Appendix I baseline sampling rounds had been
completed. The March 1995 sampling event was the first in which they were included.
Monitoring wells 8103-MW-10A, 8103-MW-10B, 8103-MW-10C, 8103-MW-10D, 8103-MW-
11A, and 8103-MW-11B were installed in August-September 1998 and were first included in the
September 1998 sampling event. 8103-MW-10A was installed to provide deep groundwater
samples, and 8103-MW-10D was installed to provide water level data. 8103-MW-10A has a very
low recharge rate (less than 0.03 gallons over 24 hours); therefore, 8103-MW-10D has been
designated the deep sample well. Monitoring wells 8103-MW-12 and 8103-MW-13 were installed
in June 2002 and May 2001 to monitor the C&D waste disposal area of the landfill. 8103-MW-12
and 8103-MW-13 were first sampled in June 2002. Monitoring wells 8103-MW-14 and 8103-MW-
15 were installed in February 2008 to supplement the C&D area monitoring, and were first
sampled in May 2008.
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 5
To complete the semi-annual MNA water quality monitoring requirement, samples from 8103-
MW-2, 8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-6, 8103-MW-8, 8103-MW-9, 8103-MW-10D, and 8103-MW-11A
were analyzed for the MNA parameters set forth in the NC Solid Waste Section CAP.
3.0 SCOPE OF WORK
To fulfill the groundwater monitoring requirements, SGC completed the following tasks:
• Sampled sixteen monitoring wells and four surface water locations at the Central Sanitary
Landfill SWMF
• Obtained field values for pH, temperature, and conductivity at each sample location
• Obtained field values for ORP, DO, and turbidity at the MNA sample locations
• Analyzed the appropriate samples for Appendix I, Appendix II, and triggered Appendix II
constituents by a North Carolina certified laboratory using State approved methods
• Analyzed the appropriate samples for MNA parameters
• Analyzed the appropriate samples for C&D parameters
• Determined groundwater flow rates and directions at the monitoring well locations
• Prepared a report for the State
4.0 METHODS EMPLOYED
4.1 Monitoring Well Sampling
Groundwater monitoring well sampling took place on April 28 – May 1, 2014. The monitoring
well locations are shown on Figure 2. A representative from SGC opened each well and measured
the static water level from the top of the PVC casing. The volume of water in the well was
calculated. These data are summarized in Table 1. The wells were purged until a minimum of
three well volumes was removed, the well was purged dry, or the indicator field parameters were
stabilized (for the wells purged using pneumatic pumps). Following purging, groundwater samples
were collected and pH, temperature, and conductivity were measured and recorded on the
groundwater sampling field data sheets. Field measurements for oxidation-reduction potential
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 6
(ORP), dissolved oxygen (DO), and turbidity were obtained from the designated MNA wells. A
groundwater sampling field data sheet for each well is included in Appendix A. Table 2
summarizes the results of the field data.
Samples from 8103-MW-3, 8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-10D, and 8103-MW-11A were collected using
the dedicated pumps installed in each well. Samples from 8103-MW-2, 8103-MW-6, 8103-MW-8,
and 8103-MW-9 were collected using a properly decontaminated pneumatic pump and dedicated
tubing. Samples from 8103-MW-7, 8103-MW-10B, 8103-MW-10C, 8103-MW-11B, 8103-MW-
12, 8103-MW-13, 8103-MW-14, and 8103-MW-15 were collected using properly decontaminated
teflon bailers. Immediately upon collection, each sample was placed in laboratory supplied sample
containers, packed on ice, and placed under chain-of-custody. The sampling technician wore new
latex gloves and used separate bailers at each of the bailed wells to minimize the possibility of
cross contamination. Additionally, new bailer cord was used for each purging/sampling event
where a pneumatic pump was not available. The surface water samples were collected by
immersing laboratory supplied containers in the water to be sampled. After collection, each
sample was packed on ice and placed under chain-of-custody. All samples were submitted to
Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc. (R&A), a North Carolina certified laboratory, for
analysis.
4.2 Stream Sampling
Surface water sampling took place on April 30 and May 1, 2014. Sample 8103-SW-2 was
collected from a tributary of Cleghorn Creek immediately upstream from the confluence. This
stream flows to the southwest along the northwest boundary and south along the west boundary of
the landfill property. Sample 8103-SW-3 was collected from Stonecutter Creek, a stream that
flows to the southwest along the southeastern toe of the landfill. Sample 8103-SW-4 was collected
from the same stream as 8103-SW-2 approximately 2,500 feet upstream on the northern boundary
of the landfill property. The original 8103-SW-5 sampling location is an intermittent stream
downgradient from the C&D landfill. This feature drains into the Cleghorn Creek tributary
upstream from the 8103-SW-2 sampling location. This location is usually dry and rarely available
for sampling; therefore, the sampling location has been moved to the Cleghorn Creek tributary 50
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 7
feet upstream from the intersection with the drainage feature. Comparison of the data collected at
the new location with the 8103-SW-2 data should reveal whether or not conditions upgradient from
the drainage feature are impacting surface water quality. The new location is designated 8103-SW-
5A and is shown on Figure 2. Immediately upon collection, pH, temperature, and conductivity
were measured and recorded on the surface water sampling field data sheets. A surface water
sampling field data sheet for each location is included in Appendix A and the field data are
summarized in Table 2. All stream samples were analyzed for the same Appendix I and C&D
parameters as the groundwater samples. The stream sample locations are shown on Figure 2.
4.3 MNA Sampling
The October 2007 event was the first to include a comprehensive set of baseline MNA
parameters. The April-May 2014 event is the fourteenth consecutive semi-annual sampling
event for evaluating the effectiveness of MNA as a groundwater protection strategy. The MNA
performance wells are 8103-MW-2, 8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-6, 8103-MW-8, 8103-MW-9, 8103-
MW-10D, and 8103-MW-11A. A Corrective Action Evaluation Report (CAER) discussing the
first thirteen MNA sampling events was submitted on April 1, 2014.
8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-10D, and 8103-MW-11A have dedicated bladder pumps, and were
purged and sampled in general accordance with the EPA guidelines for low-flow groundwater
sampling. Low-flow sampling was accomplished in 8103-MW-2, 8103-MW-6, and 8103-MW-9
using a properly decontaminated portable pneumatic pump and dedicated tubing.

The results of the laboratory analyses for MNA parameters are presented in Table 11 and discussed
in Section 5.3.
The results of the laboratory analyses for C&D parameters are presented in Table 12 and discussed
in Section 5.4.
Table 13 summarizes the sampling history for the wells in the groundwater monitoring plan and
includes the C&D and MNA wells.
5.1.2 Hydraulic Conductivity
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 13
In-situ hydraulic conductivity tests were performed on wells 8103-MW-2, 8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-
6, 8103-MW-7, 8103-MW-8 and 8103-MW-9 on March 20, 1995. These tests resulted in hydraulic
conductivity values ranging from 2.9 x 10-6 to 1.6 x 10-4 cm/sec. These data are included in Table
14 and were used to calculate groundwater flow velocities across the site. A complete discussion
of the test methods and calculations is presented in BPA Environmental & Engineering’s July 7,
1995, report "Monitoring Well System Upgrade, Central Sanitary Landfill, Rutherford County,
North Carolina."
5.1.3 Groundwater Flow Direction and Rate
The static levels in the monitoring wells were measured April 28-May 1, 2014. The water table
elevations ranged from 806.70 to 958.39 feet MSL on these dates. Groundwater and well casing
elevation data are included in Table 1. A groundwater contour map was constructed and is
presented as Figure 2. Based on field data, groundwater appears to be flowing in a radial pattern
from the fill area towards the east, south, and west. Groundwater flow lines were drawn through
each well as shown on Figure 2. The groundwater gradient at each well was calculated assuming a
constant groundwater gradient along the flow line between adjacent groundwater elevation
contours, between two monitoring wells along the same flow path, or between a well and the
nearest stream.
Based on a variation of Darcy's Law, the rate of groundwater movement within the regolith aquifer
was calculated at each monitoring well using the following equation:
V = Ki
n
where V = velocity (ft/day)
K = hydraulic conductivity (ft/day)
i = groundwater gradient (ft/ft)
n = porosity (dimensionless)
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 14
Calculated hydraulic conductivity and gradient values and estimated effective porosity values for
each well were used in the velocity calculations. The 20 percent effective porosity value is based
on porosity and specific yield versus grain size distribution relationships presented in Fetter (1988)
and is typical for the type of soil (sandy silt with some clays) comprising the regolith at the
landfill. The calculated groundwater velocities ranged from 0.84 to 31.60 ft/yr (average = 10.06
ft/yr) and are included in Table 14.
5.2 Surface Water
No Appendix I volatile organic constituents were detected above the MDLs in any of the surface
water samples.
No Appendix I inorganic constituents were detected in concentrations at or above the 2B Standards
in any of the four surface water samples collected on April 30 and May 1, 2014. Two constituents
(listed below) were detected at concentrations above the Recommended Action Level.

ppb. The result is an estimated (J) value.
• Zinc was detected in 8103-SW-3 at 73.3 ppb and 8103-SW-5A at 51.6 ppb. The
Recommended Action Level is 50.0 ppb.
Three Appendix I inorganic constituents with established standards (listed below) were detected in
one or more of the surface water samples at concentrations above the MDL and below the 2B
Standards or Action Levels. Values that are above the MDLs and below the SWSLs (estimated “J”
values) are included.
• Copper was detected in 8103-SW-4 and 8103-SW-5A.

The following two Appendix I inorganic constituents were detected in one or more of the surface
water samples in concentrations above the MDL. No 2B Standards have been established for these
constituents. Values that are above the MDLs and below the SWSLs (estimated “J” values) are
included.
• Barium was detected in 8103-SW-2, 8103-SW-3, 8103-SW-4, and 8103-SW-5A.
• Vanadium was detected in 8103-SW-2, 8103-SW-4, and 8103-SW-5A.
The results of the laboratory analyses for C&D surface water parameters are presented in Table 12
and discussed in Section 5.4.
The results of the laboratory analyses for Appendix I constituents in the surface water samples are
summarized in Tables 15 and 16, and the complete laboratory reports are included in Appendix B.
5.3 Monitored Natural Attenuation
This is the fourteenth consecutive semi-annual sampling event that included MNA parameters,
providing a sufficient set of baseline data for constructive evaluation of MNA processes. The
results are encouraging. The presence and ratios of reductive dehalogenation chlorinated ethenes
and other MNA parameter concentrations in the wells that are in the primary plume migration
routes (8103-MW-4, 8103-MW-6, and 8103-MW-11A to the west and 8103-MW-10D to the
east) are consistent with the impacts expected from biodegradation processes at work in a mixed
contaminant plume. A Corrective Action Evaluation Report (CAER) discussing the first thirteen
MNA sampling events was submitted on April 1, 2014.
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 16
One MNA parameter (shown below) was detected at a concentration above the 2L Standard.
The results of the MNA field parameter measurements are included in Table 2, and the complete

10,700.0 ppb, 8103-MW-8 at 310.0 ppb, 8103-MW-10D at 364.0 ppb, and 8103-MW-11A
at 8,800.0 ppb. The 2L Standard is 300.0 ppb.
5.4 C & D Monitoring
The groundwater sample analyses revealed that three C&D parameters (listed below) exceeded
established groundwater water protection standards.
• Aluminum was detected in 8103-MW-14 at 9,110.0 ppb and 8103-MW-15 at 5,430.0 ppb.
The 2L Standard is 3,500.0 ppb.

1,900.0 ppb, 8103-MW-13 at 2,740.0 ppb, 8103-MW-14 at 8,000.0 ppb, and 8103-MW-15
at 4,040.0 ppb. The 2L Standard is 300.0 ppb.
• Manganese was detected in 8103-MW-3 at 248.0 ppb, 8103-MW-12 at 3,620.0 ppb, 8103-
MW-13 at 881.0 ppb, 8103-MW-14 at 247.0 ppb, and 8103-MW-15 at 84.4 ppb. The 2L
Standard is 50.0 ppb.
• TDS concentration in 8103-MW-3 was 509,000 ppb. The 2L Standard is 500,000.0 ppb.
The C&D surface water analyses indicated that one constituent concentration exceeded the 2B
Standard for Class B,C Surface Waters. This result is shown below. A complete summary of the
C&D laboratory data is provided in Table 12.
Rutherford County Central Sanitary Landfill June 27, 2014 Rutherford County, NC Page 17
• Mercury was detected in 8103-SW-2 at 0.05 ppb, 8103-SW-3 at 0.06 ppb, 8103-SW-4 at
0.05 ppb, and 8103-SW-5A at 0.05 ppb. The 2B Standard is 0.012 ppb.
5.5 Notifications
All groundwater constituent concentrations that exceeded the 2L or NCGP standards are listed in
Section 5.1.1, Section 5.3, and Section 5.4, and indicated by shaded cells and bold typeface in
Tables 3 through 12. Surface water constituent concentrations that exceeded the 2B standards are
listed in Section 5.5 and indicated by shaded cells and bold typeface in Tables 12, 15, and 16. A
summary of groundwater notifications is provided in Table 17 and surface water notifications in
Table 18.
Groundwater and surface water concentrations that exceeded the reporting limits, but were below
the 2L or NCGP standards are listed in Sections 5.1.1 and 5.2 and in Tables 3 through 12, 15, and
16.
The volatile organic constituents present in the groundwater samples are likely due to past waste
disposal activities; however, contributions by ongoing borrow, maintenance, and transfer station
activities cannot be ruled out. Continued operation of the C&D facility adjacent to the old disposal
area is also a potential contributor. There is no evidence indicating that volatile organic
constituents resulting from waste disposal at Central Landfill currently exceed the 2L or NCGP
Standards at locations beyond the facility boundary.
The inorganic constituents present in the groundwater samples have been influenced by past waste
disposal, but it is likely that local geology has an impact. The upgradient well, 8103-MW-2, shows
no volatile organic impacts but over time has shown a number of inorganic concentrations similar
to those in downgradient wells.
5.6 Quality Assurance
