Since 2013 in response to the consistent groundwater exceedances, the Infill area of the landfill has been in the Assessment Monitoring Program in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0545 and 15A NCAC 2L, and the closed Phase I area of the landfill has been conducting an assessment in accordance with 15A NCAC 15A NCAC 13B .0503 and the 15A NCAC 2L. In response to methane gas exceedances, Greenway Waste Solutions at North Meck, LLC installed a landfill gas remediation system that has been in operation since 2015 at the Closed Phase I Area and is requesting to expand the system. Six new extraction wells will be installed in the waste mass at about 45 feet below grade. These new extraction wells will be connected to the existing blower and the landfill gas collection system. In addition, 16 extraction wells will be installed into the waste mass in the Infill Areas in response to methane gas exceedances. They will be connected to a stand alone new vacuum blower system and include condensate traps and below ground HDPE piping. An Operations and Maintenance Plan is also provided within the Landfill Gas Mitigation System Expansion plan. After installation of the Closed Phase I Area modification and the Infill Area landfill gas system, methane gas readings will be taken monthly to monitor the efficacy of the systems. Also, after six months of continuous operation of the systems, the methane gas readings from the perimeter monitoring wells will be analyzed and the overall performance of each of the systems will be evaluated. Based upon the review of the Landfill Gas Mitigation System Expansion plan, the NC Solid Waste Section approves the document as described. Please implement the Landfill Gas Mitigation System Expansion plan within 30 days of receipt of this letter, and notify the NC Solid Waste Section if there are any deviations to the plan. 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 continued cooperation with this matter.
