Washington County C&D Landfill March 2016 Groundwater Monitoring Report May 2016 Page 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Washington County Construction and Demolition (C&D) Landfill, operating under Solid Waste Permit #94-04-CDLF-1996, is required to perform semi-annual groundwater monitoring in accordance with Solid Waste Section Rule 15A NCAC 13B.0500 (et. seq.). This report presents the semi-annual sampling results for the event conducted on March 21, 2016. The Washington County Landfill is currently accepting C&D waste. The groundwater monitoring network includes four wells located around the landfill perimeter. This report summarizes field procedures, laboratory analyses and groundwater characterization for the site. 2.0 REGIONAL GEOLOGY The Washington County Landfill is located near Roper, North Carolina. According to the Geologic Map of North Carolina (USGS, 1985) this site is underlain by Quaternary surficial deposits including sand, gravel, clay and peat deposited in marine, fluvial, aeolian and lacustrine environments; typical for a coastal plain environment. 3.0 SAMPLING PROCEDURES The sampling event, reportedly performed by Environment 1, Inc. on March 21, 2016, included collecting samples from four groundwater wells (CD-1 through CD-4) in accordance with the approved site Sampling and Analysis Plan1. No surface water sampling locations are identified for this site. The depth to water in each well was gauged prior to purging and sampling. Water table elevation data is included in Table 1. Field measurements for pH, specific conductivity and temperature were also recorded at each well. A field parameter summary is presented as Table 2. Samples were collected in laboratory prepared containers for the specified analytical procedures. Groundwater samples were properly preserved, placed on ice and transported to the laboratory facility within the specified holding times for each analysis. 4.0 LABORATORY DATA 4.1 Laboratory Analysis The groundwater samples were transported to Environment 1, Inc., in Greenville, NC, a North Carolina certified laboratory (NC Wastewater ID #10). Samples were analyzed for the Appendix I volatile organic compounds (VOCs) plus tetrahydrofuran per United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Test Method 8260B, and Appendix I and C&D metals via EPA Test Method 200.7 or 200.8. Iron, total alkalinity, chloride, total dissolved 1 Water Quality Monitoring Plan, S&ME, August 1, 1994. Washington County C&D Landfill March 2016 Groundwater Monitoring Report May 2016 Page 2 residue and sulfate were analyzed by the Solid Waste Section (SWS) approved method listed in the lab report. The laboratory analytical report is included as Appendix A. 4.2 Laboratory Results The inorganic constituent cobalt (CD-1 and CD-2) was reported above its GWP Standard. Iron (CD-1, CD-2 and CD-3) and manganese (CD-1, CD-2 and CD-3) were reported above their respective 2L standards in samples collected this event. The indicator parameters sulfate (CD-1 and CD-2) and total dissolved residue (CD-2) were reported above their 2L Standards. No VOCs were reported above the laboratory method detection limit (MDL). Constituents reported between the MDL and the Solid Waste Section Quantitation Limit (SWSL) are defined by the laboratory as ā€œJā€ qualified values; which are not quantifiable values. Detected constituents are presented in Table 3. 5.0 GROUNDWATER CHARACTERIZATION A single-day potentiometric surface map was prepared from groundwater data collected from both the C&D landfill and the adjacent MSW landfill during this sampling event. The data indicate that groundwater flows generally in a northern direction. Groundwater flow velocities were calculated for site monitoring wells using the equation: V = Ki/n where K = hydraulic conductivity i = groundwater gradient n = porosity Groundwater flow average velocities were 6.00x10-3ft/day. Hydraulic conductivity data interpreted from November 2011 Design Hydrogeologic Report2. Well gradients and velocities are presented in Table 4. The potentiometric surface map is presented as Figure 1. 6.0 CONCLUSIONS The analytical data show relatively stable groundwater quality at the Washington County C&D Landfill. The inorganic constituents detected are potentially due to turbidity in the sample as these constituents are generally found to be naturally occurring in the soils across North Carolina. 2 Design Hydrogeologic Report, Washington County C&D Landfill (Permit 94-04), prepared by Richardson Smith Gardner and Associates, November 2011. Washington County C&D Landfill March 2016 Groundwater Monitoring Report May 2016 Page 3 The next groundwater monitoring event is tentatively scheduled for September 2016. Results will be reported to North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) after receipt of laboratory analysis. This page intentionally left blank.
