INTRODUCTION This report documents field activities and results from the November 2015 semi-annual water quality and landfill gas monitoring event at Western Carolina University’s (WCU’s) closed Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) located in Cullowhee, North Carolina (Site) as shown on Figure 1. 1.1. Site-Specific Information Site Name: WCU Closed MSWLF Facility Permit Number: 50-01 Facility Latitude/Longitude: N 35 19’ 30” / W 83 10’ 55” Site Location Map: Figure 1 Facility Address: Monteith Gap Road Cullowhee, North Carolina Jackson County Facility Owner : Western Carolina University Attn. Mr. Roger Turk 3476 Old Cullowhee Road Cullowhee, North Carolina, 28723 (828) 227-3571 Primary Consultant: Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. 1308-C Patton Avenue Asheville, North Carolina 28806 (828) 252-8130 1.2. Background Information WCU operated the MSWLF from approximately the 1960s until 1993. Jackson County also disposed of municipal solid waste at the landfill from approximately the early 1970s through the early 1980s. The landfill property is approximately 31.5 acres, approximately four acres of which contain the former landfill. The landfill was closed in accordance with the then applicable North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) closure standards (15A NCAC 13B 0.0510), and a closure letter was issued to WCU by NCDEQ on September 5, 1995. NCDEQ personnel conducted a facility audit on March 16, 2011, and determined that semi-annual water quality and landfill gas monitoring at the landfill must be performed in order for the landfill to be in compliance with the post-closure conditions identified in the 1995 closure letter. Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (Amec Foster Wheeler) has conducted semi-annual water quality monitoring since August 2011 and landfill gas monitoring since February 2012 to comply with the post-closure conditions.

FIELD ACTIVITIES Amec Foster Wheeler personnel visited the Site on November 6, 2015, to conduct water quality and landfill gas monitoring activities. 2.1. Landfill Gas Monitoring Amec Foster Wheeler personnel measured landfill gas at the four existing monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and MW-4 at the site (Figure 2). The monitoring wells were fitted with a temporary slip cap equipped with a barb fitting to allow for measurement of potential landfill gas. A calibrated gas monitoring instrument, a Landtec GEM 2000+, was used to measure atmospheric barometric pressure, as well as the following landfill gas parameters:  Methane (percent by volume)  Oxygen (percent by volume)  Carbon dioxide (percent by volume) The initial and stabilized readings for the above parameters were measured and recorded. The Solid Waste Section’s “Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form” was used to record measurements and other relevant information and is provided as Appendix A. 2.2. Water Quality Monitoring Amec Foster Wheeler personnel gauged static groundwater levels in the four monitoring wells. Water levels were referenced to the top-of-casing at the wells. Depth to water measurements and approximate water table elevations for the monitoring wells are presented in Table 1. Monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2 and MW-4 were purged and sampled using low-flow purging, utilizing a variable-speed submersible pump and new polyethylene tubing, with the intake lowered to within five feet of the bottom of the well. The pumping rate was minimized in an attempt to prevent excessive drawdown in the well and attempt to match the well’s recharge rate, which was monitored using an electronic water level indicator. Water quality parameters (dissolved oxygen, turbidity, oxidation-reduction potential, temperature, pH, and specific conductance) were measured using a water quality meter equipped with a flow-through cell and recorded (Table 1). Groundwater samples were collected from the monitoring wells after the water quality parameters stabilized. The submersible pump was decontaminated by washing the pump and electrical line in an industrial detergent and distilled water solution. The pump was then rinsed in distilled water. An equipment blank, EB-1, was collected from the pump discharge by operating the pump in deionized water and pumping water into sample containers. Low-flow purging was attempted at MW-3; however, due to an insufficient volume of groundwater in the well and slow recharge, the well was purged dry several times. A groundwater sample was collected from MW-3 with a new polyethylene bailer after sufficient time for recharge was allowed; however, the groundwater sample that was collected was turbid.

A surface water sample (SW-2) was collected at the approximate location depicted in Figure 2. The approximate location of surface water sample SW-1, as depicted in Figure 2, was observed to be dry. The water samples were placed in laboratory-supplied containers, labeled with sampling information, packed in an ice-chilled cooler, and shipped with appropriate chain-of- custody records via overnight delivery to Prism Analytical Laboratories (a North Carolina- accredited analytical laboratory). The samples were submitted for analysis of Appendix I volatile organic compounds (VOCs) according to EPA Method 8260 and Appendix I metals according to EPA Method 6020.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The results of the water quality and landfill gas monitoring event are reported in the NCDEQ Environmental Monitoring Report Form that is provided as Appendix B and summarized in the following sections. 3.1. Landfill Gas Site groundwater monitoring wells were tested for methane, carbon dioxide, and oxygen both prior to and following purging for groundwater sample collection. Elevated concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide, and decreased concentrations of atmospheric oxygen, which are indicative of landfill gas migration, were not detected in MW-1, MW-2, or MW-4 prior to or following purging activities. However, elevated concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide and a decreased concentration of oxygen were detected in MW-3, prior to and following well purging. A stabilized reading of 2.9 percent methane by volume and a lower explosive limit reading of 58 percent were recorded. A stabilized reading of 18.5 percent carbon dioxide and 0.0 percent oxygen were also recorded. The percent methane and percent carbon dioxide detected at MW-3 were higher than detected during the previous monitoring event in February 2015, and the percent oxygen detected was lower. The regulatory limit for methane at a MSWLF property boundary is equal to the lower explosive limit of methane (15A NCAC 13B.0544(d)), which is five percent methane on a volume to volume basis. The recorded results from the four Site groundwater monitoring wells do not exceed this limit. The results of the landfill gas monitoring do not suggest that regulatory limits are being exceeded at the Site, however the groundwater monitoring wells are not landfill gas monitoring wells, which should be screened in the unsaturated zone and located along the Site’s 50-foot Property Boundary Buffer. 3.2. Groundwater and Surface Water Based on topography, monitoring well MW-1 is the upgradient/background monitoring well. The groundwater analytical results were compared to the North Carolina Solid Waste Section List Groundwater Standards (SWSL Standards) from Solid Waste Environmental Monitoring Reporting Limits and Standards, dated June 13, 2011, and the North Carolina Groundwater Classification and Standards (15A NCAC 2L .0202, amended effective April 1, 2013), which includes applicable interim standards, herein referred to as the “2L Groundwater Standards.” The surface water analytical results were compared to the North Carolina Surface Water and Wetlands Standards (15A NCAC 2B, summary table dated May 15, 2013), herein referred to as the “Surface Water Standards.” Analytical results from the November 2015 water quality monitoring event are presented in Table 2, and historical analytical results are presented in Table 3. The laboratory analytical report and chain-of-custody record are included in Appendix C. 3.2.1. Appendix I VOCs Appendix I VOCs were not detected above the method detection limit (MDL) in the groundwater samples collected from monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-2. November 2015 Semi-annual Water Quality and Landfill Gas Monitoring Report WCU Closed MSWLF Amec Foster Wheeler Project 6252-15-0221 January 11, 2016 5 Three Appendix I VOCs (chlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene and cis-1,2- dichlorobenzene) were detected at concentrations greater than the MDL but less than their respective SWSL and 2L Groundwater Standards in the groundwater sample collected from monitoring well MW-4. Two Appendix I VOCs (1,2-dichlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene) were detected at concentrations greater than the MDL but less than their respective SWSL and 2L Groundwater Standards in the groundwater sample collected from monitoring well MW-3. Three Appendix I VOCs (acetone, chlorobenzene, cis-1,2-dichlorothene, were detected at concentrations greater than the SWSL Standard, but below the 2L Groundwater Standards, in the groundwater sample collected from monitoring well MW-3. One Appendix I VOC, benzene, was detected at a concentration that exceeds both the SWSL Standard and the 2L Groundwater Standard in the groundwater sample collected from monitoring well MW-3. One Appendix I VOC, chloroform, was detected at a concentration greater than the MDL, but below the SWSL Standard and the 2L Groundwater Standard, in the equipment blank sample, EB-1; however, chloroform was not detected in the groundwater samples. Two Appendix I VOCs, chlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene, were detected at concentrations above the MDL in the surface water sample SW-2; however, the concentrations are below their respective Surface Water Standards. 3.2.2. Appendix I Metals Fifteen Appendix I metals were detected above the MDL in the groundwater samples collected from the monitoring wells, including the field duplicate sample FD-1, which was collected from MW-2. Thirteen Appendix I metals were detected above the MDL, but below their respective 2L Groundwater and/or SWSL Standards, in the groundwater sample collected from the background well MW-1. Thirteen Appendix I metals were detected above the MDL in the groundwater samples collected from MW-2 and/or MW-2/FD-1. Cobalt was detected at concentrations that exceed the 2L Groundwater Standard in the groundwater samples collected from MW-2 and vanadium was detected at a concentration that exceeds both its 2L Groundwater Standard and SWSL Standard in the duplicate sample (FD-1). Fourteen Appendix I metals were detected above the MDL in the groundwater sample collected from MW-3. Barium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, vanadium and zinc were detected at concentrations that exceed their respective SWSL Standards in the groundwater sample collected from MW-3. Chromium, cobalt, thallium and vanadium were detected at concentrations that exceed their respective 2L Groundwater Standards in the groundwater sample collected from MW-3. Twelve Appendix I metals were detected above the MDL in the groundwater sample collected at MW-4; however, the reported concentrations are below their respective standards. Eleven Appendix I metals were detected above the MDL in the surface water sample collected at SW-2. Cobalt was detected at concentration that exceeds the EPA National Criteria, which is adopted as a Surface Water Standard. November 2015 Semi-annual Water Quality and Landfill Gas Monitoring Report WCU Closed MSWLF Amec Foster Wheeler Project 6252-15-0221 January 11, 2016 6 Low-flow purging and sampling techniques reduced turbidity in groundwater samples collected from the monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2 and MW-4; however there appears to be little correlative effect on concentrations of Appendix I metals as the current concentrations are relatively consistent with historic concentrations. Amec Foster Wheeler will continue to evaluate low-flow sampling/purging techniques for the next semi-annual water quality monitoring event.
