Re: Approval of Abandonment of Landfill Gas (LFG) Vents
Edgecombe County Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill (C&DLF) Unit on Top of the
Closed Unlined Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF)
Edgecombe County, North Carolina
Permit No. 3301-1-CDLF-1997, Document ID No. (DIN) 28577

Dear Mr. Price:

The Division Waste Management (DWM), Solid Waste Section (SWS) received a letter report titled as
“Passive Landfill Gas Vent Abandonment” which is dated October 23, 2017 and prepared on your behalf
by S&ME, Inc. (S&ME). According to the report that four (4) gas vents - V-14, V-26, V-28, & V-30
were originally approved (DIN 28021) to connect the active landfill gas collection and control system
(LFGCCs) at the above-referenced landfill unit. However, in the construction period, it was concluded
that four gas vents were not financially viable for extraction of LFG to boost the existing LFGCCs.
Edgecombe County then determined to abandon and plug these four gas vents which were conducted on
July 12 and 13, 2017.

The SWS determines that the gas vent abandonment described in the above-referenced report is
acceptable. Please place the report and this letter to the operating record. If you have any questions of the
permitting processes, please contact me at 919-707-8251 or [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Ming-Tai Chao, P.E.
Division of Waste Management, NCDEQ
