1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules 15A NCAC 13B require quarterly monitoring of methane gas
(at MSW landfills) and quarterly monitoring of methane and other explosive landfill gases (LFG) (at C&D and
other landfills) to ensure that methane does not exceed the lower explosive limit (LEL) in the soil at the
facility property boundary or 25 percent of the lower explosive limit within facility structures. If the
concentration exceeds the specified limits, steps must be taken to ensure the protection of public health and a
remediation plan must be implemented immediately.
A LFG monitoring plan is necessary to ensure that these performance standards are met. LFG monitoring has
consistently been performed at this facility on a quarterly basis since at least 1993 in compliance with Rule
.1626 (4)(b). A passive LFG venting system with one vent near the center of the active CDLF piggybacked
over an unlined landfill, which likely decreases the amount of methane migration.
This Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan’s objective is to provide clear guidelines and procedures for field personnel
when performing explosive gas monitoring. This plan applies to the entire Greene County Solid Waste Facility
located in Walstonburg, NC consists of a CDLF over MSW operating under permit 40-02. Facility conditions
or unforeseen sampling variables may warrant deviation from standard procedures in which case alternative
sampling procedures will conform to the most current NC Solid Waste Section guidelines and industry
Standards. This LFG monitoring plan generally complies with the current version of the NC Solid Waste
Section Landfill Gas Monitoring Guidance referenced henceforth as the SWS Guidance Document.
1.2 SITE GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY
Greene County C&D Landfill is located in the North Carolina Coastal Plain at an elevation of approximately
135 ft above sea level. Topographic relief is accentuated by the shape of the landfill and is approximated to be
about 30 ft between the top of the landfill and the water-filled ditch which runs along the northeast side of the
property. The direction of surface water runoff and groundwater flow is generally to the east toward a
tributary of Sandy Run, located approximately 3700 ft from the landfill. The waters of Sandy Run flow
southeasterly into Little Contentnea Creek and eventually discharge into the Neuse River.
Based on the 1985 Geologic Map of North Carolina, the site is underlain by the Yorktown Formation
described as “fossiliferous clay with varying amounts of fine-grained sand and bluish shell material which is
commonly concentrated in lenses.” A review of logs from on-site water monitoring wells indicate the shallow
geology consists of interbedded sandy and silty clay to a depth of 30 ft or more. These sediments, which
3
form the surficial unconfined aquifer, were reported to vary in color from red to orange to brown to gray, with
frequent mottling, and to be saturated at depths from 5 to 20 ft below land surface (bls). Bedrock or clay
confining features will not influence LFG migration at his site since they are beneath the water table which
serves as the lower LFG confining feature.
The uppermost aquifer across the entire site has been identified to be within the unconsolidated regolith. The
vertical LFG migration potential extent is the shallow water table which ranges from approximately 1 to 14
feet below ground. A potentiometric map of the uppermost aquifer from groundwater elevations recorded on
September 7, 2016 is shown on Sheet 1.
1.3 REGULATORY LIMITS
In accordance with Rule 15A NCAC 13B LFG readings will be recorded quarterly and results will be kept in
the facility operating records. Greene County will follow all operational requirements for MSWLF facilities;
ensuring the measured concentrations of methane gas does not exceed the lower explosive limit (100% LEL or
5% by volume) at the facility boundary and (25% LEL or 1.25% by volume) in structures. Hydrogen sulfide
gas should not exceed the lower explosive limit (100% LEL or 4.00% by volume) at the facility boundary and
(25% LEL or 1% by volume) in structures. LFG records will be submitted to the SWS in the event that
stabilized methane or hydrogen sulfide levels exceed these limits or upon SWS request.
2 LANDFILL GAS MONITORING
2.1 LANDFILL GAS PROBES
2.1.1 LANDFILL GAS PROBE LOCATIONS
Greene County Landfill facility located in Walstonburg, NC consists of an active construction and demolition
(C&D) landfill vertical expansion atop an unlined landfill. LFG migration has consistently been monitored by
a network of probes and within structures surrounding each unit. The existing monitoring network was
established predominately by geography around the entire periphery of the landfill.
The landfill shall be monitored by 11 existing LFG probes (MP-1, MP-2, MP-3, MP-4A, MP-5, MP-6, MP-7,
MP-8, MP-9, MP-10 and MP-11A). A drawing showing the approximate locations of the LFG monitoring
probes is shown on Sheet 2. No additional monitoring locations are currently proposed around the landfill.

2.1.2 LANDFILL GAS PROBE CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
All known details of the existing LFG probe construction are shown on Table 1. All LFG monitoring probes
were installed prior to issuance of construction specifications outlined in the SWS Guidance Document (Nov.
2010). New probes are not proposed to be installed. In the event unrepairable damage occurs to any existing
probe or migration investigations are initiated new probes will be installed per specifications outlined in SWS
Guidance Document with the exception the probes may be constructed of 1” PVC and the outer protective case
may be constructed out of non-sparkable aluminum. All probes will be equipped with a stopcock ball valve
bushed to the well casing, quick connect coupling threaded into the well cap or an equivalent device that
allows air flow to be controlled at the wellhead as shown on Figure 1.
2.2 STRUCTURE MONITORING
The inside of three on-site non-residential (restricted use) structures (SHELTER, SCALEHOUSE and SHOP)
will be monitored quarterly for LFG accumulation in accordance with the Guidance Document. If new on-site
structures are erected in the future, they will also be monitored along with the existing ones. All on-site
structures are detailed on Sheet 2 and Table 1.
2.3 LANDFILL GAS MONITORING FREQUENCY
LFG monitoring will be performed and documented on at least a quarterly basis (four times annually
approximately three months apart). Monitoring per this plan will be initiated during the first scheduled
quarterly event following SWS approval. Monitoring frequency will not be decreased without prior
authorization by the SWS.
3 LANDFILL GAS SAMPLING PROCEDURE
3.1 EQUIPMENT
Instrumentation must be capable of accurately reading percent methane, percent hydrogen sulfide, percent
oxygen and percent carbon dioxide. Instruments shall be calibrated according to manufacturer’s specifications
prior to performing monitoring. Although other instrument(s) maybe available which meet or exceed these
requirements that would also be deemed acceptable the most common instrument is a Landfill Gas Analyzer
manufactured by LANDTEC which includes models such as GEM500, GEM2000 and GEM5000. Stopcock
valves on monitoring probes should remain in a closed position until instrument tubing is tightly sealed.
5
3.2 MONITORING PROCEDURE
LFG monitoring will be performed by personnel that understand the principles of operation and use
instruments per manufacturer’s instructions. LFG monitoring shall be performed in accordance with
procedures outlined in the most current NC SWS issued Landfill Gas Monitoring Guidance Document. A
copy of the current SWS Guidance Document dated November 2010 is included in Appendix A. If, during a
sampling event, groundwater is suspected to be over a probe intake the depth to groundwater will be measured
and recorded. If the intake is fully submerged, LFG readings will not be attempted to avoid damage to the
instrument. Deviation from procedures outlined in this plan may be warranted depending on facility
conditions or unforeseen variables. Any variance from the methodology contained in the current SWS
Guidance Document will be consistent with industry standards and be described in the associated LFG
monitoring report.
4 RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING
4.1 MONITORING DATA FORM
LFG monitoring event results shall be recorded on a Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form. The monitoring data
form should contain at least the information outlined in the SWS Guidance Document as shown on the example
form in Appendix B.
4.2 MONITORING REPORTS
A landfill gas monitoring report consisting of at a minimum the completed Landfill Gas Monitoring Report
Form and a site drawing showing the location of each monitoring location shall be drafted shortly following
every quarterly monitoring event.
4.3 PERMANENT RECORD KEEPING
Landfill gas monitoring records including monitoring plans, monitoring reports and remediation plans will be
retained at the facility in an operating record and updated as the information becomes available. Reports will
be sent to the SWS only in the event methane or hydrogen sulfide is detected above allowable limits or per
request.
LFG monitoring probe probe construction and well abandonment records will not be submitted to the NC
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) unless they inadvertently intercept groundwater. LFG monitoring probe
well construction and abandonment records will be submitted on current DWQ forms to the SWS and kept in
the facilities’ permanent file.
