1.0 Executive Summary
Five monitoring wells and five stream locations at Phase I of the White Street Landfill were sampled
between April 19 and April 20, 2016. Five wells (I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4 and MW-13) comprise the groundwater
monitoring system for the closed Phase I unit at the White Street Landfill facility. Monitoring well MW-13
serves as a background well for both the Phase I and the Phase II areas. The sampling was conducted
according to North Carolina Solid Waste Management Guidelines and samples were analyzed by a North
Carolina certified laboratory.
Analytical results from the five Phase I monitoring wells indicate that the following NCAC 2L groundwater
quality standards were exceeded.
♦Benzene was detected at 3.9 µg/L at well I-1, this concentration exceeds the 15A NCAC 2L
groundwater standard (2L Standard) of 1 µg/L.
♦Vinyl Chloride was detected at an estimated concentration of 0.47 µg/L at well I-3, this
concentration exceeds the 2L Standard of 0.03 µg/L.
With regards to surface water sampling, no volatile organic constituents were detected. Inorganic
constituents (total metals) were detected at each sampled location. Analytical results for surface water
samples collected up-stream of the White Street Landfill exhibited concentrations of metals. Sample
collected down-stream were reported to contain similar metals, with concentrations generally lower than
those reported for the up-stream samples. In view of this and prior surface water and groundwater
monitoring data, the closed Phase I landfill is not considered to be the source of these constituents.
Furthermore, no reported concentrations were greater than the corresponding NCAC 2B surface water
standards for Water Supply.
It is believed that the cause of the benzene and vinyl chloride 2L Standard exceedances within the
hydrogeologic regime at Phase I is from percolation of landfill constituents from the waste management
unit into the uppermost groundwater aquifer. Analytical results for the samples obtained from
monitoring wells I-1 and I-3 report apparent 2L Standard exceedances. These wells are located less than
100 feet from the limit of waste and between the limits of waste and the compliance boundary. The City
of Greensboro believes that Phase I of the White Street Landfill was closed prior to January 1, 1983, and as
such, assessment and cleanup of this landfill unit should fall under jurisdiction of the NCDEQ Inactive
Hazardous Sites program Pre-Regulatory Landfill Unit, for “orphan landfills.”
2.0 Introduction
White Street Landfill is a Solid Waste Management Facility (SWMF) located at the north end of White
Street in northeastern Greensboro. S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) was contracted by the City of Greensboro to
complete this water quality monitoring event. Phase I of the landfill is a closed unit, reportedly covered
by Solid Waste Permit #41-03, which also covers Phase II of the Facility.Figure 1 is a map showing the
monitor well locations. One up-gradient and four down-gradient monitoring wells located along the
perimeter of the closed Phase I disposal area were sampled. Five surface water samples were collected
from North Buffalo Creek and one of its tributaries in the vicinity of the White Street facility. Phase I
shares the surface water sampling locations with adjacent Phase II.

The samples collected from Phase I monitoring wells I-1, I-2, I-3, and I-4, were analyzed for Appendix I
volatile organic constituents and the eight RCRA metals. Since background monitoring well MW-13 is
shared with Phase II, the collected sample was analyzed for Appendix I constituents. This report discusses
the field procedures, summarizes the field measurements and analytical results for the post-closure
monitoring event completed during April 2016.
3.0 Scope Of Work
To complete the scope of work, S&ME completed the following tasks:
♦Sampled five monitoring wells and five surface water locations.
♦Obtained field values for pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation-
reduction potential (ORP), and turbidity at each sampled monitoring well location.
♦Depth to water measurements were collected prior to sampling and during well purging to
monitor drawdown.
♦Groundwater samples I-1, I-2, I-3, and I-4, were analyzed for Appendix I organic constituents and
8-RCRA metals by a North Carolina certified laboratory, using State approved methods.
♦Groundwater sample MW-13 was analyzed for Appendix I constituents by a North Carolina
certified laboratory, using State approved methods.
♦Surface water samples SW-1, SW-2, SW-3, SW-4 and SW-5 were analyzed for Appendix I
constituents by a North Carolina certified laboratory, using State approved methods.
♦Estimated groundwater flow directions for the Phase I area.
♦Prepared and submitted this Post-Closure Monitoring Report to the City of Greensboro and the
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ).
4.0 Methods Employed
4.1 Monitoring Well Sampling
Phase I groundwater monitoring well sampling took place between April 19 and April 20, 2016, with
shared background monitoring well MW-13 sampled on April 20, 2016. The monitoring well locations are
shown on Figure 1. A representative from S&ME opened each well and measured the static water level
from the top edge of the PVC casing in wells. The total well depth sounding data reported for the
sampling events completed during September 1997 and May 1998 were used to determine the volume of
water in wells I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4 and MW-13, where dedicated MicroPurge™pumps had been previously
installed.Table 1 provides a summary of relevant well construction details.
In accordance with the facility's approved Water Quality Monitoring Plan, each well was purged using the
dedicated MicroPurge™pumps using compressed air. At each well, the purge rate and the drawdown of
the water table were monitored as an indicator of how much stress the purging placed on the aquifer.
The purge rates were calculated by recording the time required to fill a graduated cylinder. The purging
flow rates varied but were approximately 100 milliliters/minute (ml/min.). During purging, the depth to
water was periodically monitored and recorded on the groundwater sampling field data sheets.

It is our opinion that the observed drawdowns were generally minor during purging; therefore, the
stresses placed on the aquifer should have been insignificant. The observed drawdown data suggests that
the purging rates should have been low enough such that recharge water should not have been overly
agitated, reducing the potential for colloids to be drawn into the well bore.
The purge water from each of these wells was monitored for pH, temperature, conductivity, DO, ORP and
turbidity. The time interval between measurements approximated one equipment volume, at a minimum.
Sample collection commenced when the changes in those readings fluctuated no more than 10 percent
and utilizing a turbidity goal of 10 NTU, or less. Despite the use of low flow methods, turbidity values
remain higher than ideal during the purging of wells I-2 and I-4; therefore, samples were collected
without meeting the turbidity goal, relying upon professional judgement. The field data collected during
sampling was recorded on the groundwater sampling field data sheets, included in Appendix I.Table 2
provides a summary of the field data collected during this event.
Groundwater samples were collected from dedicated pump discharge Teflon tubing at the top of each
well. Immediately upon collection, each sample was placed in laboratory supplied containers and placed
in a cooler with ice. The sampler wore nitrile gloves that were changed between wells to reduce the
possibility of cross contamination. Upon collection, the groundwater samples were maintained under
chain-of custody.
Phase I monitoring well samples I-1, I-2, I-3 and I-4 were analyzed for Appendix I volatile organic
constituents and the eight RCRA metals. Since background well MW-13 is shared with Phase II, the
collected sample was analyzed for Appendix I constituents. Analyses were conducted by Environmental
Conservation Laboratories, a North Carolina certified laboratory.
4.2 Stream Sampling
Surface water sampling took place on April 20, 2016. Surface water SW-1 was collected from North
Buffalo Creek on the west side of the U.S. Highway 29 bridge upstream of the landfill. Surface water SW-2
was collected from a southern tributary of North Buffalo Creek just before it joins the main creek west of
the landfill entrance. SW-3 was collected from North Buffalo Creek downstream of the North Buffalo
Wastewater Treatment Plant outfall and upstream of the landfill. SW-4 was collected from North Buffalo
Creek downstream of the landfill at a USGS gauging station located on North Buffalo Creek about three-
quarters of a mile north of the landfill. SW-5 was collected from North Buffalo Creek immediately
downstream of the Phase I and II landfill disposal areas. The locations are shown in Figure 2.
The surface water samples were collected by immersing laboratory supplied containers in the water to be
sampled. After collection, the surface water samples were placed in a cooler with ice and placed under
chain-of-custody. Each surface water sample was analyzed for Appendix I inorganic and volatile organic
constituents by Environmental Conservation Laboratories; a North Carolina certified laboratory.

5.0 Results
5.1 Groundwater Analytical Results
Table 3 provides a summary of the constituent concentrations reported above the method detection limit
(MDL) for the groundwater samples collected. Concentrations reported between the MDL and the Solid
Waste Section Limits (SWSL) are considered estimated, thus shown as a “J” flagged concentration.Table
4 provides a summary of the reported concentrations which exceed the 15A NCAC 2L Standards (2L
Standard). For some constituents where there is no established 2L Standard, North Carolina has
published Interim Maximum Allowable Concentrations (IMACs). The IMAC values are intended to help
NCDEQ in assessing conditions and setting health protective groundwater levels at regulated sites. As
such the IMAC are only interim and not final groundwater quality standards. The following summarizes
the exceedances of the corresponding 2L Standard or IMAC.
♦At well I-1, benzene was detected at 3.9 µg/L, which exceeds the 2L Standard of 1 µg/L.
♦At well I-3, vinyl chloride was detected at estimated concentrations of 0.47 µg/L, which exceeds
the 2L Standard of 0.03 µg/L.
The complete laboratory analytical reports are included in Appendix II. Analytical results in the NCDEQ
EDD format are contained in Appendix III (CD only).
5.2 Groundwater Flow Direction
The static water levels in the four Phase I monitoring wells were measured between April 19 and April 20,
2016, while background monitoring well MW-13 was measured on April 20, 2016. The depths to the
water table ranged from 2.15 to 19.30 feet below the top of well casings on these dates. Groundwater
and well casing elevation data are presented in Table 1. A groundwater contour map constructed using
the data collected during this monitoring event is presented as Figure 1. The groundwater elevation data
collected during this monitoring event indicates that the groundwater beneath Phase I generally flows to
the north toward Buffalo Creek.
5.3 Surface Water
Table 5 provides a summary of the constituent concentrations reported above the MDL for the surface
water samples collected. Concentrations reported between the MDL and the SWSL are considered
estimated, thus shown as a “J” flagged concentration.Table 6 provides a summary of the reported
concentrations which exceed the corresponding 15A NCAC 2B Standard (2B Standard) for Water Supply.
The following summarizes the exceedances of the 2B Standards. The complete laboratory analytical report
is included in Appendix II.
♦No 2B Standard exceedances.
Surface water sample locations SW-1 and SW-2 are up-stream of the facility. Similar constituents were
detected up-stream of the facility and down-stream, with constituent concentrations for the up-stream
samples generally greater than or equal to those reported for down-stream sample locations. Based on
the surface water analytical data obtained, this closed landfill is not believed to be the source of the
metals detected.

5.4 Quality Assurance
A qualitative review of the data was performed to verify that the detected concentrations in the laboratory
report were of known quality. A formal, quantitative data validation was not performed. Laboratory-
assigned data qualifiers were evaluated to verify that rejected or unsupportable data were not included in
the dataset. Quality control data provided in the laboratory reports were also reviewed. No rejected or
otherwise unacceptable quality data were reported from the laboratory.
The monitoring wells in Phase I were sampled using dedicated micro-purge pumps. Therefore, no
equipment rinse samples were collected for analysis for data quality control. Trip blank samples
accompanied the sample bottles from the time they left the laboratory until they returned. The trip blank
samples were analyzed for Appendix I volatile organic constituents. No volatile organic constituents were
present in the trip blank samples at detectable levels. Laboratory QC samples were analyzed for all
constituents included in this sampling event. The results of the trip blank and laboratory QC sample
analyses are included in Appendix II.
