Re: Ebuffer Inspection Schedule Revision Request
Groundwater Corrective Action
City of Greensboro White Street Landfill Phase II – C&D Over MSW
Guilford County
Solid Waste Permit Number 4103
DIN 27484
Dear Mr. Lovett,
The NC Solid Waste Section has completed a review of the Ebuffer Inspection Schedule Revision Request
dated March 3, 2017 (DIN 27483) submitted on your behalf by S&ME, Inc. for the White Street Landfill
Phase II – C&D Over MSW, NC Solid Waste Permit Number 4103. Groundwater corrective action has been
ongoing at the landfill since 2009.
The Solid Waste Section approved the City’s selected remedy for this facility on June 24, 2008 that
included the implementation of Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA), Phytoremediation (Ebuffer), and
maintaining consistent contours (DINs 4964 and 4970). The City’s Corrective Action Plan dated April 2009
was approved on May 14, 2009 (DINs 7393 and 7422).
The City of Greensboro is requesting the following regarding changes to the inspections for the Northern
and Southern Ebuffers (Phytoremediation stands):
Twice per year conduct full inspections of the Ebuffers, one during the Spring new growth, and
the other during late Summer to early Fall before the trees begin to change color. A
phytoremediation assessment log for the Northern and Southern Ebuffers would be completed
at this time.
Monthly inspections of the Ebuffers including visual observations for animal damage, the need to
mow the grass between the rows of trees and along the outer perimeter trees, and the need for
weed control around the base of the trees.
As a result, the Ebuffer Inspection Schedule Revision Request is approved as described. If you have any
questions or concerns regarding this letter, please feel free to contact me by phone at 828.296.4706 or
by email at jaclynne.drummond@ncdenr.gov. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
Sincerely,
