Subject:APPROVAL - Detection Groundwater & Methane Monitoring Well Relocation - Hwy 55 LF
Attachments:9230-CDLF-2014 - GWS Request to Relocate Monitoring Wells (May 2 2017).pdf
Ed, 
Based on a review and evaluation of Greenway Waste Solutions’ request (see below and attached) for the Hwy 55 C&D 
Landfill facility , the Section approves relocating monitoring well MW‐11 and methane monitor well MM‐9 as proposed 
on the attached figure.  The stated reason for the request is to accommodate construction of a new access road and for 
general facility routing improvements.  We agree that relocating these two monitoring wells as proposed will maintain 
the integrity of the groundwater monitoring and methane monitoring at the facility.  

According to information provided by CEC, MW‐11 was last sampled in April 2017 and MM‐9 was last monitored on May 
4, 2017.  The next scheduled monitoring events at the GWS’s Apex C&D Landfill facility are: semi‐annual groundwater 
monitoring in October 2017,  and quarterly methane monitoring in August 2017.  According to the proposed plan, GWS 
will abandon (in place) wells MW‐11 and MM‐9  and install new wells at the proposed locations prior to the next 
monitoring events. The new wells will replace the abandoned wells in their respective monitoring networks. 

The Section requests the following for abandoning the wells: 
 MW‐11 and MM‐9 shall be properly abandoned and sealed in accordance with 15A BCAC 2C .0113, entitled 
“Abandonment of Wells”, and 
  Well abandonment records (GW‐30 form) for each decommissioned piezometer, boring, and groundwater 
monitoring well must be certified by a Licensed Geologist in accordance with rule .1623(b)(2)(1) and submitted 
to the Solid Waste Section in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C. 0114(b). 
 Update the Water Quality Monitoring and Landfill Gas Monitoring Plans (May 2016) to reflect changes due to 
the new well locations and any monitoring tables etc. 

In addition, please contact me on the schedule for abandonment and installation so that I may option whether to visit 
the site during well drilling. If, for some reason, the wells are not abandoned prior the next scheduled monitoring 
events, continue collecting and reporting monitoring data from these wells until further notice. 
If you have any questions, feel free to call or email. 
Thank you.

Subject: Revised Detection Groundwater & Methane Monitoring Well Relocation Map ‐ Hwy 55 LF ‐ 111‐370.005 

Perry, 
Per our previous discussions, Greenway Waste Solutions of Apex, LLC (GWS) is requesting the relocation of detection 
groundwater monitoring well MW‐11 and adjacent landfill gas monitoring well MM‐9 in order to expand on‐site road 
access to the compost storage area and general facility improvements to this area at the Hwy 55 LF facility.  The 
attached site map depicts the proposed new well location area to the north of their existing well placements.  Please 
note that MW‐3 shown on the map was the location of a former piezometer that has been abandoned.  The new 
proposed groundwater monitoring well location is optimal for detecting the locally converging groundwater flow in this 
north‐central area of the landfill facility.  On behalf of GWS, CEC will conduct the current required monitoring before 
abandoning the existing wells.  With your approval, GWS would like to abandon these existing wells ASAP to expedite 
the facility improvements.  The well replacements will be completed prior to the next quarterly monitoring 
event.  Please advise.
