Re: Alternate Source Demonstration Madison County Operating Solid Waste Facility
Permit # 5803-MSWLF-1993, DIN 26569
Dear Ms. Drummond,
Anchor QEA of North Carolina, PLLC (Anchor QEA) is pleased to present this Alternate Source
Demonstration (ASD) in response to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
Solid Waste Section’s (SWS) letter (Notice), dated August 8, 2016, regarding exceedances of
Appendix I inorganic constituent standards established in North Carolina Administrative Code, Title
15A, Subchapter 2L, Section .0202 (15A NCAC 02L .0202 [2L standards]).
The Madison County Solid Waste Department operates the Madison County Operating Solid Waste
Facility (Landfill) located on Craig Rudisill Road, west of U.S. Highway 25/70 near Marshall, North
Carolina. A site location map is included as Figure 1. The Landfill includes the following permitted
components:
• Operating Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) Landfill cell (Permit No. 58-03)
• Operating Transfer Station (Permit No. 58-03T)
• Closed C&D Landfill cell (Permit No. 58-03)
• Closed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill cell (Permit No. 58-03)
The Notice from the SWS required Madison County to either implement an assessment monitoring
program or prepare and submit an ASD within 90 days of receipt of this letter. Due to late receipt of
the Notice, Madison County requested two extensions to prepare an adequate response to the
Notice, with a due date of June 9, 2017. According to the Notice, if the ASD is successful and is
approved by the Section, the Landfill may continue detection monitoring. If the Section does not
approve the ASD, the Landfill will be required to initiate assessment monitoring in accordance with
15A NCAC 13B .1634.

1.0 Constituents of Concern
The subject Notice referenced exceedances of 2L standards for inorganic constituents. Based on a
review of historical analytical results, there have been 2L standards exceedances at the Landfill
involving a range of inorganic constituents. However, many have occurred sporadically and not
during recent sampling events. The only inorganic constituents of concern (COCs) that have
exceeded 2L standards during recent sampling events or with regular consistency include cadmium,
cobalt, and vanadium. Therefore, this ASD will focus on these COCs.
Anchor QEA’s review of historical analytical results indicates that the only groundwater samples that
exceed the 2L standards for cadmium were collected from monitoring wells MW-03, MW-06R,
MW-07R, and MW-9. Groundwater and surface water sample results have shown that cobalt and
vanadium concentrations have exceeded the their respective 2L and 2B standards in all Landfill
monitoring wells and surface water sampling locations. The 2L and 2B standards have been
periodically exceeded in the upstream surface water (SW-01) and upgradient groundwater (MW-06R)
sampling locations since monitoring began at these locations and suggests that many of these
constituents that exceed standards at the downgradient and downstream sampling locations are due
to naturally occurring elements.
2.0 ASD Methodology
Anchor QEA chose to explore four potential paths of evidence that could show that metal
concentrations that exceed the 2L standards are due to naturally-occurring background conditions,
as follows:
1. A review of historical analytical results in relation to turbidity levels to see if there is a correlation
between high inorganic concentrations and high turbidity levels
2. A review of surface water data to determine if analytical results upstream of the Landfill exhibit
inorganic concentrations that indicate that parent geologic material contains significant
concentrations of inorganics
3. The collection of samples during the April 2017 sampling event and subsequent laboratory
analysis for total metals, as well as dissolved metals, in an effort to further determine if sediment
contained in the samples could be impacting the relative integrity of the samples as
representative of true groundwater conditions
4. A review of publications to determine if evidence is available to indicate that parent geologic
material in the area of the Landfill contains significant concentrations of inorganics that could be
contributing to groundwater concentrations at the Landfill
Also included as part of this ASD, is a brief review of potential receptors to determine the potential
for the Landfill to impact human health and the environment.

3.0 ASD Findings
3.1 Historical Analytical Results and Turbidity
An analysis of historical data (Table 1) was performed to determine if turbidity present in samples
collected from the Landfill’s monitoring wells and two surface water locations may be influencing
concentrations of inorganics in the samples. These sampling locations are provided on Figure 2.
Detected concentrations of analytes in groundwater samples were compared to the values specified
in the 2L standard. Detected concentrations of analytes in groundwater with no established 2L
standard were compared to an updated list of the interim maximum allowable concentrations
(IMACs) for Class GA and GSA groundwater (in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0202 [c]). Detections
of analytes in surface water samples were compared to the 15A NCAC 2B.0200 surface water quality
standard (2B standard) established for class C waters. Tables 1 and 2 summarize the historical data
relative to their appropriate standards.
Figure 3 provides plots for each monitoring well and surface water sampling location, and shows the
sum of metals versus turbidity. Review of this figure shows that in wells MW-05, MW-06R
(upgradient well), MW-07R, MW-08, and MW-09, high turbidity levels result in elevated metal
concentrations.
Figure 4 provides graphs for those monitoring wells that consistently have the highest
concentrations of cobalt and vanadium, as well as the two surface water monitoring locations, and
compares those inorganic concentrations with turbidity levels. These graphs make clear, that in some
wells turbidity plays a significant role in elevated metals concentrations. The correlation between
high inorganic concentrations and high turbidity levels, is discussed in the following sections for each
sampling location.
3.1.1 Monitoring Well MW-01
Cadmium has only been detected once in this monitoring well, and was well below the applicable 2L
standard. Cobalt and vanadium concentrations have generally been declining in MW-01 since the
October 2007 sampling event. The higher concentrations of these metals, as well as other metals
shown on Table 1, may be due to poor well development following the installation of this well. With
additional sampling events over the years, which would remove additional fine-grained material from
the monitoring well, inorganic concentrations have declined.
3.1.2 Monitoring Well MW-02
Cadmium has only been detected above the laboratory method detection limit (MDL) on one
occasion. That detection was well below the 2L standard. Cobalt concentrations in monitoring well
MW-02 exceeded the applicable IMAC in 20 of 22 sampling events. Cobalt concentrations have
generally been decreasing in MW-02 since October 2010, as shown on Table 1. Vanadium exceeded
June 9, 2017 Page 4
the applicable IMAC in 9 of the 22 samples collected from this well since 2007. All of the vanadium
exceedances have been estimated (J-flagged) by the laboratory, as indicated on Table 1. The
concentration of cobalt and vanadium, when compared to turbidity, show slightly increasing trends,
and suggests that turbidity plays a role in metals concentrations exceedances (Figure 4).
3.1.3 Monitoring Well MW-03
Cadmium has been detected in two recent monitoring events (April and October 2016) and exhibited
concentrations above the applicable 2L standard, as shown on Table 1. Cobalt concentrations in
monitoring well MW-03 exceeded the applicable IMAC in all of the samples collected since 2007.
Concentrations ranged between 34 micrograms per liter (µg/L) and 161 µg/L. These concentrations
do not appear to be related to turbidity levels, as shown on Figure 4. Vanadium concentrations
exceeded the applicable IMAC in 10 of the 22 samples collected from this monitoring well.
Concentrations of vanadium ranged between 0.33 J µg/L and 15.5 J µg/L. All of the vanadium
exceedances have been noted as estimated (J-flagged) by the laboratory, as shown on Table 1. These
concentrations have been estimated because the laboratory method detection limit (MDL [0.7 µg/L])
is higher than the IMAC (0.3 µg/L). Vanadium concentration show a very slight increase with
turbidity.
3.1.4 Monitoring Well MW-04
Cadmium has not been detected above the MDL in MW-04. Cobalt concentrations in monitoring well
MW-04 exceeded the applicable IMAC in 4 of 22 sampling events. Cobalt has not been detected in
MW-04 since April 2011, as shown on Table 1. Vanadium exceeded the applicable IMAC in 15 of the
22 samples collected from this well since 2007, as shown on Table 1. Most of the vanadium
exceedances have been estimated (J-flagged) by the laboratory. A graph of the sum of metals versus
turbidity for metals results for MW-04 shows a fairly consistent range of concentrations that do not
vary significantly with increased turbidity (Figure 3).
3.1.5 Monitoring Well MW-05
Cadmium has only been detected above the laboratory MDL on three occasions in MW-05. These
detections were below the 2L standard. Cobalt and vanadium concentrations appear to be closely
related to turbidity levels in monitoring well MW-05, as shown on Figure 4. Concentrations have
generally declined since the October 2008 sampling event corresponding to an order of magnitude
decrease in turbidity (Table 1).
3.1.6 Monitoring Well MW-06R (Background)
Cadmium has been detected twice in monitoring well MW-06R, with one of those detections in
exceedance of the 2L standard. Cobalt and vanadium concentrations appear to be closely related to
turbidity levels in monitoring well MW-06R, as shown on Figure 3. Following the April 2011 sampling
event, turbidity concentrations dropped significantly (Table 1), after which cobalt has not exceeded
June 9, 2017 Page 5
its 2L standard. After the same sampling event, vanadium concentrations have maintained levels
above 2L, but they have dropped in concentration by an order of magnitude.
3.1.7 Monitoring Well MW-07R
Cadmium has been detected seven times in monitoring well MW-07R, with three of those detections
in exceedance of the 2L standard, as indicated on Table 1. With the exception of a few statistical
outliers, cobalt and vanadium concentrations appear to be influenced by increased turbidity levels in
monitoring well MW-07R, as shown on Figure 4. Historical turbidity readings in this well range from
73.13 nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs) to 1,100 NTUs. These readings are significantly higher
than turbidity readings from the other monitoring wells on-site. A review of Table 1 shows that
elevated turbidity levels correspond with higher concentrations of metals.
3.1.8 Monitoring Well MW-08
Cadmium has not been detected above the laboratory MDL in MW-08. Cobalt concentrations in
monitoring well MW-08 exceeded the applicable IMAC in 8 of 22 sampling events. Cobalt
concentrations have generally been decreasing in MW-02 since April 2011, as shown in Table 1. This
date corresponds to the last time a turbidity value was greater than 100 NTUs. Vanadium exceeded
the applicable IMAC in 20 of the 22 samples collected from this well since 2007, as shown in Table 1.
Like cobalt, concentrations for vanadium decrease significantly when turbidity values are less than
100 NTUs. The majority of the vanadium exceedances have been estimated (J-flagged) by the
laboratory. Both Cobalt and Vanadium show elevated inorganic concentrations relative to higher
turbidity levels.
3.1.9 Monitoring Well MW-09
Cadmium has only been detected above the laboratory MDL on two occasions in MW-09, with one
of those detections above the applicable 2L standard, as shown on Table 1. Cobalt concentrations in
monitoring well MW-09 exceeded the applicable IMAC in 9 of 22 sampling events. Cobalt
concentrations have generally been decreasing in MW-09 since October 2010, as shown on Table 1.
Vanadium exceeded the applicable IMAC in 16 of the 22 samples collected from this well since 2007
(Table 1). Cobalt and vanadium concentrations are low when turbidity levels are below 223 NTUs, as
observed in Table 1. Both Cobalt and Vanadium concentrations are elevated relative to higher
turbidity levels as shown on Figure 4.
3.2 Review of Surface Water Data
SW-01 is the upstream surface water sampling location. The graphs on Figures 3 and 4 show the sum
of metals concentrations versus turbidity and concentrations of cobalt and vanadium versus
turbidity, respectively. What is apparent, is that there is not a strong correlation between high
turbidity levels and elevated metals at this location. What the data do show are a few instances of
high metal concentrations that correlate with high turbidity levels (Figures 3 and 4). Without the
June 9, 2017 Page 6
highest turbidity level sample (887.40 NTU on October 29, 2014), cobalt shows a slight increase in
concentration relative to elevated turbidity and vanadium is consistent with increased turbidity.
SW-02 is the downstream surface water sampling location. Figures 3 and 4 show the sum of metals
concentrations versus turbidity and concentrations of cobalt and vanadium versus turbidity,
respectively. At SW-02, the sum of metals versus turbidity shows a generally increasing trend;
however, strong correlations between turbidity and cobalt and vanadium do not exist. The
October 15, 2013 sample, which contained the highest turbidity level, also exhibits the highest cobalt
concentration, but vanadium was below the laboratory MDL.
The detected concentrations of inorganic constituents in SW-01 and SW-02R do not appear to
correlate directly with turbidity concentrations; however, with abnormally high turbidity values,
elevated cobalt and vanadium concentrations have occurred. Furthermore, the presence of cobalt
and vanadium in surface water samples collected from the upstream and downstream locations that
are of similar concentrations to those observed in groundwater suggest that these elements are
naturally occurring at the Landfill.
3.3 Filtered Versus Unfiltered Sample Results
In order to further investigate the relationship between turbidity and metals concentrations, two sets
of metals samples were collected from each monitoring well at the Landfill during the April 2017
sampling event. For each monitoring well sample, the first metals sample was collected directly from
the sample tubing into the sample bottle, while the second metals sample was field-filtered through
a 0.45-micron in-line groundwater sampling filter. A summary of these sampling results is presented
in Table 2.
Cadmium was not detected at or above the MDL of 0.500 µg/L in any monitoring well samples that
were collected during the April 2017 sampling event.
Cobalt was detected in seven unfiltered monitoring well samples, while it was only detected in four
filtered samples. Moreover, the unfiltered samples generally contained higher concentrations of
cobalt than did the filtered samples.
Vanadium was detected in all filtered and unfiltered samples from the monitoring wells, and all
measured concentrations were above the applicable IMAC. However, these samples were flagged by
the laboratory with a “B” qualifier that indicates that vanadium was also detected in the laboratory
blank. This indicates a potential for these results to be biased high. Additionally, many of these
samples were reported as estimated (J-flagged) concentrations.
Upon comparison of the filtered and unfiltered sample results, it appears that the results for the
majority of inorganics are relatively similar in concentration for samples where turbidity is less than
20 NTUs. In the samples collected from MW-02 and MW-07R, the turbidity levels were 65.4 and 108,
June 9, 2017 Page 7
respectively. This resulted in very different concentrations between the filtered and unfiltered
groundwater samples (Figure 5).
3.4 Review of Available Publications
Several publications were reviewed as part of this ASD to determine if parent material in the area of
the Landfill contains significant concentrations of inorganics that could be contributing to
groundwater concentrations at the Landfill. Ultimately, two United States Geological Survey (USGS)
publications contained useful data and are discussed in the following paragraphs.
3.4.1 USGS NURE-HSSR Database
The USGS National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment
Reconnaissance (HSSR) database was reviewed as part of this ASD. Anchor QEA identified two
sediment samples that were collected within 5 miles northeast of the Landfill in a direction that is
parallel to the regional geology trends. The results of these stream sediment samples are as follows,
and are presented in parts per million by weight:
Table 1
Sediment Sample Results
Sample ID Sieve Size
Sample
Collection
Date Cadmium Cobalt Vanadium
NCDM040S1 -100 06/09/1976 Not Analyzed Not Analyzed 100
150 <2 13 46
NCDM041S1 -100 06/09/1976 Not Analyzed Not Analyzed 90
150 0.09 14.7 78

Based on these concentrations contained in stream sediment, it is apparent that parent material in
the vicinity of the Landfill contains as much as 90 parts per billion (µg/kg) cadmium, and as much as
14,700 µg/kg cobalt. Additionally, vanadium is present in parent material in concentrations as high as
100,000 µg/kg. Since these inorganics can be solubilized, it is possible that the parent materials in
the area are contributing to dissolved inorganics in groundwater at the Landfill.
3.4.2 Element Concentrations In Soils And Other Surficial Materials Of The Conterminous
United States
This USGS publication is based on sample collection of surficial material at 863 locations across the
United States. These surficial materials were analyzed for 35 elements, including cobalt and
vanadium. According to this publication, a soil sample was collected from a location north of
Asheville, approximately 20 miles south of the North Carolina-Tennessee border. The cobalt
concentration in surficial material from this location was between 15 and 70 parts per million, or
June 9, 2017 Page 8
15,000 to 70,000 µg/kg. Vanadium was found to have a concentration range of 90 to 110 parts per
million, or as high as 90,000 to 110,000 µg/kg. Since these inorganics can be solubilized, it is possible
that the parent materials near the Landfill are contributing to groundwater inorganic concentrations.
3.4.3 Elemental Variation Across Sampled Media
Figure 6 displays the elemental concentrations detected in samples from the NURE database, the
USGS Elemental Data, and from on-Site leachate, groundwater, and surface water. The elemental
variations between the various media show similar patterns, particularly between the off-site
sediment and soils when compared to the on-site leachate, suggesting that the elemental
composition of soil materials used as fill in the Landfill operations is being leached out and
mobilized. The groundwater and surface water data show similar patterns, with the greatest
variability occurring with cobalt. The Landfill has a history of acidic groundwater pH, which may affect
cobalt mobility from the native soil material used as cover and fill during Landfill operations.
The area around the Landfill is known for a variety of magnetite ore bodies1,2. The presence of
magnetite in the vicinity of the Landfill provides an explanation for the concentrations of vanadium
observed in the area since vanadium is a common impurity in magnetite deposits. A direct
mineralogical source for elevated cadmium and cobalt was not identified during this ASD; however,
data from the NURE dataset and the USGS Elemental Data set shows that these constituents are
present in the native materials.
3.5 Potential Receptors
Figure 2 shows the generalized groundwater flow direction for the Landfill. Groundwater drains
towards the unnamed tributary of Walnut Creek that is located on the western portion of the Landfill
and flows in a south-to-north direction. This tributary discharges to Walnut Creek, which flows in an
east-to-west direction and discharges into the French Broad River. Based on analytical results, it does
not appear likely that the Landfill is impacting surface water. As such, Anchor QEA did not identify
any potential receptors that exist downgradient of the Landfill. It is also important to note that
Madison County owns the land located immediately north and south of the Landfill, as well as the
land located west of the Landfill to the French Broad River.
4.0 Conclusions
Upon review of data collected at the Landfill since 2007, it appears that suspended sediment
(turbidity) in groundwater and surface water samples can be correlated with inorganic concentrations
in the groundwater samples.

June 9, 2017 Page 9
Filtered and unfiltered samples were collected and analyzed for inorganic constituents during the
April 2017 sampling event. Based on a review of filtered and unfiltered sample results, it is clear that
the more turbid samples have higher concentrations of metals compared to samples with turbidity
values that are less than 20 NTU.
Two USGS publications indicate that parent material (i.e., bedrock) in the vicinity of the Landfill
contains significant concentrations of cobalt and vanadium, with concentrations of cadmium also
present. This parent material is likely contributing to inorganic concentrations in groundwater at the
Landfill. This is supported by the fact that these inorganics are present in monitoring well MW-06R
(background) in concentrations that often exceed 2L standards, and are also present in higher
concentrations in surface water upstream (SW-01) of the Landfill than downstream (SW-02) of the
Landfill. In addition, local geologic conditions suggest a source for vanadium in the native materials
to be related to the presence of magnetite ores located in the vicinity of the Landfill.
Anchor QEA has presented four lines of evidence that support the influence of high turbidity samples
on total metal concentrations: 1) correlation with elevated turbidity; 2) filtered samples versus
unfiltered samples showed differences when turbidity was greater than 20 NTUs; 3) upgradient
groundwater and upstream surface water sample locations show similar concentrations as the
downgradient and downstream sample locations, respectively; 4) data obtained from historical
publications show that the native materials in the area of the Landfill have cadmium, cobalt, and
vanadium concentrations that may attribute elevated concentrations observed in the sampled
groundwater and surface water. These lines of evidence suggest that the exceeded groundwater
standards are related to naturally occurring elements present in the native materials.

Turbidity versus Cobalt and Vanadium in Groundwater and Surface Water Sample Locations
Madison County Operating Solid Waste Facility Permit #58-03, Marshall, NC
File path: \\asheville1\asheville\Projects\Madison County\2017 DEQ Response\Figure 4 Turbidity vs Metal Trends2.docx

Graphs show that, in general, increased turbidity relates to increased concentrations
of cobalt and vanadium in both groundwater and surface water. Groundwater
sample location MW-06R and surface water sample location SW-01 are both
upgradient sample locations, which clearly show that with increased turbidity, metal
concentrations also increase. The same would be expected in other well locations
and the data generally support this observation.

Relationship Between Turbidity and Total and Dissolved Metal Concentrations
Madison County Operating Solid Waste Facility Permit #58-03, Marshall, NC
File path: \\asheville1\asheville\Projects\Madison County\2017 DEQ Response\Figure 5 Dissolved Total Concentration Percent Difference 2017 Data.docx

Graphs show the percent difference between total and dissolved metal concentrations for the April 2017 sampling event. The percent difference was calculated by dividing the average of the dissolved and total concentration into the difference
between the total and dissolved concentration: % Difference = |Total-Dissolved|÷((Total+Dissolved)/2). The data show that samples with lower turbidity generally have very little difference in concentration (Plots C and D) and those with higher
turbidity values have greater differences in concentration.

Elemental Variation for Landfill Groundwater, Surface Water, Leachate and from Local Off-Site Soils and Sediment
Madison County Operating Solid Waste Facility Permit #58-03, Marshall, NC
File path: \\asheville1\asheville\Projects\Madison County\2017 DEQ Response\Figure 6 Elemental Variationv2.docx

Comparison of the elemental variation between sediment and soil concentration ranges to the groundwater concentration ranges show similar concentration patterns. Particularly between the leachate sample and USGS Elemental Data for soils. This is not surprising since native soils are used as fill materials by mixing with deposited wastes within an active cell. Groundwater concentrations also reflect similar elemental patterns, with perhaps the greatest variability occurring in cadmium, cobalt, and vanadium. That said, cadmium, cobalt, and vanadium do exist naturally in soils and sediment from the area. Notes:
Graph shows the elemental variation among samples types, which include leachate, sediment, groundwater, and soils. The data presented for leachate and groundwater is from the April 2016 sampling event. Data for off-Site sediment was obtained from the NURE data set. The sediment samples were collected from locations within 5 miles north of the Site. The USGS Elemental Data was obtained from soil samples collected from a location north of Asheville, approximately 20 miles south of the North Carolina-Tennessee border.
Highlighted cells indicated non-detect values.
