RE: Landfill Gas Monitoring Report
LFG Monitoring - Monthly Monitoring Event for February 2017
Town of Kernersville Closed Landfill, Permit 34-04
WithersRavenel Project No. 06140180.11
Dear Ms. Drummond:
Attached are a Monthly Landfill Gas Monitoring Report and an Environmental Monitoring Reporting
Form (EMRF) for the monthly monitoring event that was conducted on February 28, 2017 by
WithersRavenel. Inc. at the Town of Kernersville Closed Landfill (Landfill), Permit 34-04. This event
was conducted on behalf of the Town of Kernersville (Town) in accordance with the approved Landfill
Gas Monitoring Plan, dated July 17, 2012.
As in past monitoring events, methane monitoring was planned to be conducted in the eight landfill
gas (LFG) probes located on the Town’s property (designated GW-1 through GW-8) and three LFG
probes shared with the Waste Management Piedmont Landfill (designated GP-9 through GP-11).
Access to the locked security fences and the LFG probes located inside (GW-8, GP-9, GP-10 and GP-
11) was not gained in time to be included with this sampling event. To offset the lack of access to the
Piedmont Landfill property, WR has submitted a cost proposal to the Town to install replacement LFG
sentinel wells within the property boundaries so that future sampling events, after the upcoming
March 2017 sampling event, can include data to demonstrate that LFGs are not migrating off the
landfill property.
As shown on the attached Monthly Landfill Gas Monitoring Report, methane gas was not detected in
five of the seven LFG probes monitored on February 28, 2017. Elevated levels of methane gas were
detected in concentrations above the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) in GW-1 and GW-2R.
WithersRavenel, on behalf of the Town of Kernersville, appreciates the opportunity to submit this
report to the Solid Waste Section. Please contact me with comments, questions, or requests.
Sincerely
WithersRavenel
Mark Brown, LG, PG, RSM
Senior Geologist
