Hey Ming,

Sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you. We have reviewed the draft permit and have some requested
changes/clarifications. Most of the questions stem from trying to understand what this Life of Site permit covers and
doesn’t cover. I’ve included a tracked change copy of the permit with comments for your consideration and discussion.
We would be happy to meet with you to discuss the comments and can be available the first week of July.

In response to the questions below I have modified Drawing CD-78B to identify when the MSW landfill areas were closed.
I will modify Sections 1.1 and 2.1 to address your questions as noted below if the responses will suffice. See below for the
general response to the questions.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike:

The Solid Waste Section completes the review of the revised permit application (DIN 27805) received May 19,
2017 for the White Street C&DLF (Phase II) and has two questions stated below that requires your clarification
or explanation.

1. (Section 1.1) According to the drawing Sheet CD-78B and Section 2.1 of the Post-Closure Plan, the
C&DLF unit had 90-acre waste footprint over the 135-acre closed unlined MSWLF (Phase II). The
existing C&DLF unit (Phase II) has an approved waste footprint of 65 acres as permitted in 2012. Please
provide a paragraph or paragraphs to describe the status of 25-acre waste footprint of the C&DLF unit as
described in the “Fourth Stage Capacity” planning in 1996 according to the records in the Solid Waste
Section. If the 25-acre area had been permanently closed, please provide the reference(s) of the closure
certification report(s), date of certification of closure, and the description of the final cover system,
which will be incorporated into the new life-of-site permit.
The MSW landfill footprint is 135 acres. 45 acres were closed in 1991. The remaining 90 acres were
closed in 1999. A 65 acre C&D landfill was constructed on top of the closed MSW. 34 acres of the C&D
have been closed to date. That leaves 31 acres to close which consists of access roads and a current
filling area of approximately 27 acres.

2. (Section 2.1) The second sentence describes the permitted C&D Landfill has 26 acres which is likely a
typo. Please clarify. This should refer to the 27 acre filling area.
The Draft Permit Approval to Operate is also attached to this e-mail message for your review and comment.
Please forward your comments, if any to my attention; so we can discuss it (them) at a mutually agreed date &
time. Thanks and have a wonderful evening.

704.338.6700
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application
current development plan is 2,370,000 cubic yards. Currently the City of
Greensboro has no plans to modify the current development plan but reserves the
right to recapture the additional space if needed in the future.
b. According to the drawing Sheet C-01- Fill Plan, the C&DLF unit will be operated by
series of fill sequences - Lift 1 through Lift 6, which are not consistent with those
specified in the Permit Condition No. 6, Attachment 3 of the current permit dated
March 30, 2012 (DIN 16015). If the City proposes to modify the approved 5-Lift to
6-Lift fill sequences, please provide the operating capacity (in cubic yard) of each of
the proposed six (6) lifts. Please note that operating capacity of the final lift (Lift 6)
should include the volume of the final cover system described in the Appendix F -
Closure Plan.
Drawing Sheet C-01, Fill Plan, in Appendix H has been revised. This application
identifies the filling plan for this life of site permit. The C&D material is filled in
approximately 10 foot lifts across the active area. Actual sequence and lift
thickness may vary based on site conditions.
c. Please provide the volume of soil required for the landfill operation and closure
activities according to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0537(e)(2). The detail calculations &
assumptions to determine the soil quantities should be included in the section. Will
there be sufficient soil from the on-site borrow pits to cover the operations and
closure of the landfill unit? Please clarify.
Section 12.1 of the Operations Plan has been revised to provide soil requirements
for operational use. Anticipated soil for closure activities is provided in Section 1.4
of the Closure/Post-Closure Plan. Soil materials will need to come from on site
stockpiles and/or off-site.
2. Please provide the additional information to the Operations Plan.
i. (Section 12.1) According to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0542(f)(l), the City must "cover the
solid waste with six inches of earthen material when the waste disposal area exceeds
one-half acre AND (not "or") at least once weekly." Please revise the cover requirement
in this section accordingly.
Section 12.1 of the Operations Plan has been modified as requested.
ii. (Section 12.2) According to Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0542(f)(2) and Section 19 of the
Operations Plan, an inactive area without receiving permitted wastes for disposal for
THREE (3) months, not 12 months, shall be covered by an intermediate cover. Please
revise the frequency for placing intermediate cover in Section 12.2.

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application
Section 12.2 of the Operations Plan has been modified as requested.
iii. (Section 14.0) The City should also monitor the concentrations of hydrogen sulfate at
the C&DLF unit. Additionally, the SWS requests the City submit a separate cover or
stand-alone landfill gas monitoring plan for this C&DLF unit according to the guidance
document which can be downloaded from the following link. Please provide the landfill
gas monitoring plan for this C&DLF unit.

public/Waste%20Management/DWM/SW/Field%20Operations/Environmental%20Monit
oring/LandfillGasMonitoringGuidanceDocument.pdf
Section 14.0 of the Operations Plan has been updated to include hydrogen sulfide gas.
The Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan has been added as Appendix G.
iv. (Section 15.0) Does each landfill equipment/machinery equipped with a fire
extinguisher? Please clarify. Additionally, the SWS has a standard fire incidence report
form can be used for reporting a fire/explosion, should it occur. If the City agrees to use
the form, please download and append the form to the Operations Plan. The web link is
http://ncdenr.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-
public/Waste%20Management/DWM/SW/Forms/FireOccurrenceReport.pdf
The city has a fire extinguisher in each piece of landfill equipment and machinery. The
Fire Occurrence form has been added to the Operations Plan as requested.
v. (Section 16.0) Please state the landfill service area(s) - the City of Greensboro and
Guilford County which is consistent to the permit dated March 30, 2012 (DIN 16015).
Section 16.0 of the Operations Plan has been modified to state the service area is the
City of Greensboro and Guilford County.
vi. (Section 16.2) To clearly understand the frequency of random waste screen at the
C&DLF unit, please state the minimum truck per day will be subject to waste screening.
According to latest Facility Compliance Inspection Report for the C&DLF unit dated
October 26, 2016, Comment No. 16 states that the facility is required to conduct a
minimum of one (1) waste screen per day. If the City will continue this practice, please
state the fact to this section.
Section 16.2 of the Operations Plan Section has been modified to state a minimum of
one truck per day will be screened.
vii. (Section 19.0) To be consistent with the practice stated in Section 12.2 and Rule 15A
NCAC 138 .0542(f)(2), please clear define the "vegetative cover" in this section.
3
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application
Section 19.0 of the Operations Plan has been modified to define vegetative cover.
viii. (Section 21.0) A landfill gas collection and control system (LFGCCs) is operating at this
landfill unit (Phase II). Please describe the well field [ wells (numbers and depths),
condensate traps, air piping (gradients & sizes), operation and maintenance
requirements including the responsible parties & contact info, NC air permit number(s),
condensate removal & disposal procedures, measures to protect the system from
interrupting active landfill operations, and etc.
This facility operates under NCDEQ Air Quality Permit No.08830T06. A copy of the
permit has been added to Appendix A, Related Correspondence. For specifics of the
system and design please contact the NCDEQ Division of Air Quality.
ix. (Section 21.0) Please provide the procedures or corrective measures to prevent
leachate outbreak(s) on the side slope(s) of the landfill units - both MSWLF & C&DLF
units, should it occur. The procedures/corrective measures are required for the post-
closure period as well.
The landfill prevents leachate breakouts by maintaining the proper thickness of
intermediate cover and repairing erosion rills as necessary. In the event of a leachate
breakout the landfill staff would place additional soil cover in the area and re-vegetate.
Section 21 of the Operations Plan has been revised to include this information.
3. Please provide the additional information of the Closure and Post-Closure Plan.
i. Please describe the landfill gas vents/wells to be installed at the final cover system
including the frequency, such as one vent/well per acre. The typical drawing of a gas
vent/well must be provided to the Closure Plan drawing(s).
The Closure Plan Section 1.2 has been modified to include the gas venting system. A
landfill gas well detail has been added as Appendix F-2 of the Closure Plan.
ii. (Section 1.10) Closure cost estimate is placed in Appendix F-1, not E-1. Please correct
the typo.
Section 1.10 of the Closure/Post Closure Plan has been corrected.
iii. (Section 2.1) Please provide the extent (in acreage) of the landfill unit (including the
closed unlined MSWLF and the C&DLF unit) that will be subject to 30-year post-closure
cares.
Section 2.1 of the Closure/Post Closure Plan has been revised. The landfill unit is 135
acres. The Phase II MSW was closed in 1998. The 90 acre C&D landfill portion currently
consists of 59 closed acres and 31 active acres.
4
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application
iv. (Section 2.4) The operation of the existing LFGCCs is likely to be terminated in the end
of the 30-year post-closure period; therefore, please provide a decommission plan for
the system which includes, in a minimum, removal of system components (including the
flare station) to an off-site location for recycling or disposal, disposal of in-line gas
condensate & wastes, capping gas/condensate lines, gas well abandonment
procedures, restoration of the final cover system, etc. The decommissioning costs must
be included in the post closure estimates. Please be advised that the LFGCCs may be
owned or operated by a third party, but the City is the landfill property owner/operator
who is ultimately responsible for the operation, maintenance and decommissioning of
the LFGCCs.
To decommission the LFGCCs, the wellheads will be removed to allow passive venting,
the condensate lines will be drained and capped and the flare and blower will be sold or
recycled. HDR has assumed the value of the flare and blower will offset the cost to pull
the wellheads and therefore the decommissioning costs are negligible.
v. (Section 2.4) Please describe the maintenance requirements of the landfill gas
monitoring system/network (8 gas wells and 4 surface according to Drawing CD-79B) in
consistent with the cost estimate item.
Section 2.4.5 of the Closure/Post Closure Plan has been modified to address both
groundwater and gas well maintenance.
vi. (Section 2.5) Please add the inspection frequencies and requirements of the landfill gas
monitoring system/network.
Table 2 in Section 2.5 of the Closure/Post Closure plan has been modified to address
the landfill gas monitoring system/network inspection frequencies and requirements.
vii. (Section 2.7) Post-Closure cost estimate is placed in Appendix F-1, not E-1. Please
correct the typo.
Section 2.7 of the Closure/Post-Closure Plan has been corrected.
4. (Appendix F-1)
i. Cap Maintenance Item should include costs for correcting cap settlement / subsidence
as described in Section 2.4.3 of the Post-Closure Plan.
Settlement and subsidence directly affects the surface water flow and erosion on the
cap. Therefore, cost for correcting cap settlement/subsidence has already been included
in the Erosion Control and Surface Water Control line items.
5
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application
ii. The costs associated with semi-annual surface water monitoring/sampling (at five
locations) are not included in the post-closure estimate. Please provide the costs.
The cost of surface water monitoring and sampling has already been included in the
“Groundwater Sampling/Lab and Report (semiannual)” line item. The title of that line
item has been updated to “Groundwater and Surface Water Sampling/Lab and Report
(semiannual)” in order to clearly define the surface water inclusion.
iii. Pursuant to NCGS 130A-295.2(h), the City shall include two million dollars for potential
assessment and corrective action at the landfill facility to the local government financial
test. This cost is additional to the one for on-going groundwater correction activities at
the landfill facility.
See “Other: Assessment Corrective Action – Permit 41-03” line item listed in Appendix
F1 in the amount of $2,118,712.
iv. According to the letter dated November 15, 2016 issued by the City, the estimated cost
for the on-going groundwater correction at the landfill facility is $1,567,941 in 2012-dollar
value. The inflation factors from 2013 through 2016 (1.018, 1.015, 1.014, and 1.010,
respectively) shall be used for adjust the 2012 cost for the approved correction activities.
The factors can be downloaded from the link http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-
management/solid-wastesection/financial-assurance-for-solid-waste-management-
facilities
The cost for groundwater correction in 2016-dollar value is approximately $1,659,216,
but it may be subject to change pending the approval of the SWS (Referring the
enclosed comments issued by SWS Compliance Hydrogeologist on January 11, 2017).
Please revise the cost in the local government financial test accordingly.
See updated Summary of Financial Assurance letter dated 9-Mar-17 in Appendix F1 for
response. The correct inflation factors have been used; the principle amount as been
decreasing since 2012 due to the task being completed in 2012 and thus entering the 30
year compliance period.
5. Appendix G -Drawings
i. (Sheet C-01- Fill Plan) Please address the following comments on this drawing:
a. The thickness of "existing intermediate cover" shown on the Typical Cap System is
6 inches, which is inconsistent with that (12 inches) described in the section of the
Operations Plan. Please clarify.
6
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application
Intermediate cover is required to be a minimum of 12 inches thick. The City plans
to reclaim the top six inches for soil cap material. Section 12.2 of the Operations
Plan has been modified to state this.
b. Please indicate/note the maximum side slope of the final cover system is four
(horizontal) to one (vertical) on the cross-section drawings.
Sheet C-01 has been revised as requested.
c. In the Note Field, please use the correct volume of the approved total gross
capacity of 2,525,443 CY consisting operating capacity (volumes of wastes &
periodic & intermediate cover material) and volume of the final cover system
(referring Comment No. 1 iii).
The Sheet C-01 notes have been revised as requested.
d. Have the closed areas (a total of 34 acres) been incorporated into the Site Layout
& Cross-Section drawings? Please clarify.
Closed areas have been incorporated into the Overall Site Plan (CD-77B).
ii. (Overall Site Plan, CD-77B) Please provide the following information on this drawing:
a. The waste footprint (in acreage) of the unlined closed MSWLF (Phase II).
Sheet CD-77B has been revised as requested.
b. The waste footprint (in acreage) of the remaining active C&DLF unit on top of the
MSWLF (Phase II).
Sheet CD-77B has been revised as requested.
c. The waste footprint (in acreage) of the permanently closed C&DLF unit (Part I
Closure - 8 acres in 2013 & Part 2 Closure - 26 acres in 2015, respectively).
Please use different legends on the drawing to differentiate the active and
permanently closed C&DLF unit. The provided information on the drawing will be
incorporated into the new life-of-site permit and approval processes of the financial
assurance.
Sheet CD-78B has been revised to differentiate the active and closed C&D unit.
6. The Solid Waste Section (SWS) Compliance Hydrogeologist has some comments on the
groundwater corrective action at the C&DLF unit/closed unlined MSWLF (Phases II) which is
enclosed in this letter for you to review and respond.
7
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill Response to Comments on Life-of-Site Permit Application
Questions from the SWS Compliance Hydrogeologist have been included in this response
letter, along with the corresponding responses.
i. I understand that monthly inspections for the phytoremediation stand are not being
conducted in accordance with the approved CAP, and there has not been written
approval from the Section of this deviation. Please clarify.
A request for revision in the EBuffer inspection schedule was submitted to NCDEQ and
approved on March 7, 2017. An excerpt from the approval letter is provided below; the
full request and approval letters have been added to Appendix A of this permit
application.

“…The City of Greensboro is requesting the following regarding changes to the
inspections for the Northern and Southern Ebuffers (Phytoremediation stands):
• Twice per year conduct full inspections of the Ebuffers, one during the
Spring new growth, and the other during late Summer to early Fall before
the trees begin to change color. A phytoremediation assessment log for
the Northern and Southern Ebuffers would be completed at this time.
• Monthly inspections of the Ebuffers including visual observations for
animal damage, the need to mow the grass between the rows of trees
and along the outer perimeter trees, and the need for weed control around
the base of the trees.

As a result, the Ebuffer Inspection Schedule Revision Request is approved as
described…”
ii. The last monitoring report received for the April 2016 monitoring event indicates a 2B
surface water exceedance of VC within the sample collected from SMW3. Please
determine how the City is going to address this surface water concern since this surface
water monitoring location is being used to determine the effectiveness of the
phytoremediation stand near well II-9.
SMW-3 is a groundwater Sentinel Monitoring Well and not a surface water
sample. Jaclynne Drummond informed the City of Greensboro that no action is required.
iii. The last CAER submitted was in May 2012. CAERs are submitted every five years, and
therefore the next CAER is due this year. What is the status of this submittal so it may
be incorporated within the life of site permit
The City has recently changed environmental consultants and as a part of this change
the CAER report is scheduled to be completed before the end of the 2017 calendar year
(likely before September 2017).

iv. An updated cost for the ongoing groundwater corrective action in 2016 dollars for
financial assurance is required.
A copy of the City of Greensboro Financial Assurance, previously submitted to the state
of North Carolina is included in this as Appendix F1.

1.0 Introduction
The City of Greensboro, North Carolina, (Greensboro) is proposing to renew the permit to
operate for the White Street Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) Landfill in Guilford
County, North Carolina.
The information contained in this submittal is intended to fulfill the requirements of North
Carolina Solid Waste Management Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0535(b) for the amendment of the
operating permit.
1.1 Background Information
In November of 1995, HDR, on behalf of the City of Greensboro, submitted a Transition Plan for
the Phase II sanitary landfill of the White Street Landfill. The Transition Plan was approved in
July of 1996, and Olver Incorporated certified closure of the sanitary landfill in March of 1999.
After North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) approval of the Transition
Plan, the City of Greensboro submitted a permit application to dispose of C&D over top of the
closed municipal solid waste (MSW) in Phase II. NCDEQ issued the original C&D over MSW
permit for Phase II in July of 1998. The following is a history of the C&D permits received for the
White Street C&D Landfill. A copy of the current PTO, issued in 2012, is included in Appendix A
of this permit amendment.
Permit Type Date Issued
Permit to Operate (PTO) – Stage I January 7, 1998
PTO Modification – Stage II October 7, 1998
PTO Modification – Stage III April 15, 2000
PTO Amendment – Continued Operation May 25, 2006
PTO Amendment – Continued Operation March 30, 2012

1.2 Responsible Party
The individual responsible for the operation and maintenance of the site is the Solid Waste
Disposal Manager for the City of Greensboro:

1.3 Projected Use after Closure
After closure of the landfill, the site will be maintained and monitored. No post-closure uses
have been identified or are planned for the site at this time.
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Engineering Plan Engineering and Design
2.0 Engineering and Design
2.1 Existing Features
An overall Site Plan with the existing features of the site can be found on Drawing CD-77B. This
drawing displays features of the facility such as, unlined closed MSW Phase II (135 ac),
permitted C&D Landfill (26 ac), closed C&D Landfill (34 ac), active C&D landfill (31 ac),
borrow/stockpile areas and maintenance facilities.
2.2 Facility Design
This site maintains the following regulatory buffers (per Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0540 (1):
• A 50-foot buffer between property line and waste.
• A 500-foot buffer from private dwellings and wells to waste.
• A 50-foot buffer from streams and rivers to waste.
2.3 Final Grading Plan
The proposed top of intermediate cover grades for the remaining portion of Phase II can be
found on Drawing C-02. The proposed grades are 4 horizontal to 1 vertical (4H:1V) and reach
an elevation of 870 feet above mean sea level. The final cap thickness is an additional two feet
on top of the intermediate grades.
2.4 Airspace Calculations
The permitted gross capacity of the C&D landfill from the March 12, 2012 Permit to Operate
(PTO) is 2,525,443 cubic yards. The current total gross capacity of the C&D landfill on top of the
closed MSW landfill is 2,370,000 cubic yards at 4H:1V sideslopes after revised intermediate
grades were sent to NCDEQ on February 21, 2014. Through June 2016, approximately
1,722,981 tons of waste has been disposed of at the C&DLF consuming 1,450,536 cubic yards.
This equates to a waste density of 1.19 tons per cubic yard. Over the past five years the
average annual waste accepted is 37,531 tons. Based on the cumulative waste density and five
year average annual tonnage the remaining capacity would be full in October 2042. Reference
Figure 1 and Figure 2 for updated tonnage history and life projection estimates.
2.5 Groundwater Monitoring
A Water Quality Monitoring Plan was originally prepared by S&ME, Inc. (dated December 2007).
The monitoring plan and related Corrective Action Plan (S&ME, April 2009) can be found in
Appendix D.

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Introduction
1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this section is to identify protocols for the overall operation and maintenance of
the White Street Landfill Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) disposal facility. This plan
has been prepared in accordance with North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ) rules. A detailed drawing of the landfill’s development from existing conditions to final
contours is presented in Appendix G of the 2016 Permit Amendment. By definition, the C&D
waste stream is originated solely from construction, demolition, and remodeling or repair
operations on pavement, buildings or other structures. In addition, the NCDEQ Division of
Waste Management (DWM) has approved other inert wastes (such as land clearing debris, but
not yard waste) if they can be demonstrated to be inert through the toxicity characteristic
leaching procedure. The current waste screening program will continue to be utilized by the
landfill staff for determination of accurate disposal areas and the prevention of prohibited wastes
as described in Rule .542 (e).
The City of Greensboro proposes to continue operation of the current C&D disposal site as
previously approved and permitted May 25, 2006 (Permit #41-03). The proposed disposal area
continues to operate within the area of the facility known as Phase II which is a closed MSWLF
unit subject to the appropriate section of the .1600 rules (Drawing CD-77B). Regulatory closure
of Phase II has been previously certified as closed in accordance with promulgated guidelines.
2.0 Personnel Structure
Responsibility for overall facility management and operation rests with the Solid Waste Disposal
Manager.
Solid Waste Disposal Manager
[phone]
2503 White Street
Greensboro, NC 27405
This individual is designated as the contact person for regulatory compliance, and is responsible
for ensuring adequate personnel and equipment in order to operate the facility in compliance
with approved permit documents and the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules.
Landfill supervisory staff includes the Solid Waste Disposal Manager, the Landfill Supervisor,
the Environmental Compliance Supervisor, the Yard Waste and Compost Supervisor, and the
Scalehouse Supervisor. In addition to the supervisory staff, the landfill now operates with full
time heavy equipment operators, full time heavy equipment mechanics, full time maintenance
workers, full time heavy equipment operators at the yard waste and compost site, landfill
technicians, and full time scale operators.
1
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Personnel Certifications and Training
3.0 Personnel Certifications and Training
The Solid Waste Disposal Manager and Landfill Supervisor maintain their certifications as a
Manager of Landfill Operations (MOLO), issued by the Solid Waste Association of North
America (SWANA).
In compliance with North Carolina GS 130-309.25, all heavy equipment operators and the
landfill technician maintain certification as Landfill Operation Specialists as issued by the North
Carolina Chapter of SWANA (NCSWANA). These staff members are then continuously
recertified through on-site training as well as through industry and NCSWANA events. All
training records are available at the scalehouse.
Personnel trained in landfill operations are on duty at all times while the facility is open for public
use and at all times during active waste management operations.
4.0 Hours of Operation
The landfill is open for operation between the hours of 7:00 AM and 4:50 PM, Monday through
Friday and from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday. The landfill is closed on Sundays except
where prior permission has been granted to receive wastes for special instances such as a
natural disaster. The observed holidays are New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day. The sign giving the hours of operation for the landfill is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Hours of Operation Figure 2 Landfill Rules

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Equipment Requirements
5.0 Equipment Requirements
The landfill will utilize two compactors and two bulldozers. The landfill will utilize a bulldozer for
soil placement in the routine covering of the waste. Also available for operational and
compliance activities are a motorgrader and water truck. A full inventory list of current
equipment and landfill personnel is presented in Table 1. Equipment is subject to change based
on operational needs.

Manager 1 Landfill Supervisor 1 Environmental Supervisor 1 Scalehouse Supervisor 1 Heavy Equipment Operators (full time) 5
Heavy Equipment Operators (part time) 2 Heavy Equipment Mechanics 2 Maintenance Workers 2 Landfill Technician 1 Scale Operators 2

6.0 Inclement Weather Operations
During periods of heavy rainfall or other adverse weather conditions, the working face of the
waste disposal area will be kept as close as possible to the landfill service roads while allowing
for safe and orderly dumping from the haulers. The waste will be covered in compliance with
applicable regulations.
7.0 Traffic Routing
An entrance sign is posted on the front gate stating operating hours as well as emergency
contact information (Figure 1). An additional sign is also posted immediately inside the front
gate stating the facility name, permit number, operating hours (Figure 2), landfill rules and a list
of banned disposal items. Signs are posted at regular intervals along the landfill access roads
indicating speed limit and directions to the applicable disposal area (Figure 3).
3
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Litter Control

Figure 3 Traffic Routing
All trucks entering the landfill are required to weigh in at one of two scales at the scalehouse.
The scales are operated by North Carolina Department of Agriculture Certified Weigh masters.
The scales are calibrated and cleaned on a regular basis. Automobiles and pickup trucks are
also required to weigh in.
The roads that allow access to the site and to monitoring locations are of all weather
construction and maintained in good condition.
8.0 Litter Control
Litter control is a prime requisite in the proper operation of the landfill. In order to effectively
control litter and windblown debris, the working face is kept as small as possible and waste is
compacted as soon as possible after unloading. Cover material is applied at least once weekly
and when the working face exceeds one-half acre. Cover is available daily and will be placed at
more frequent intervals if necessary to control blowing litter. Temporary litter fences will be
installed downwind of and in close proximity to the working face to prevent windblown debris.
The disposal area as well as the landfill property and the streets feeding into the landfill are
inspected and any fugitive debris is removed on a daily basis.
9.0 Odor, Noise, and Dust Control
Odors which emanate from the management of C&D wastes are generally limited to within a
short distance of the working face. The covering of the wastes as required prevents odors from
becoming a nuisance.
The access road from the scalehouse to the waste disposal unit is paved. All other service and
operating roads on the operating landfill unit are graded and maintained with stone as
4
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Waste Placement
necessary to maintain smooth, well-drained surfaces. During dry conditions, operating roads will
be sprayed with water to control dust issues. The paved access roads are washed periodically
to maintain an overall neat appearance of the landfill.
Noise resulting from landfill equipment is limited to the period of time during operating hours. To
further reduce the possibility of noise nuisance, a vegetative buffer of coniferous and deciduous
trees and other vegetation is maintained between the operating areas and other areas not
designated for landfill operations. All landfill equipment is equipped with mufflers or similar
noise-dampening devices. The on-site landfill maintenance facility maintains all landfill
equipment in top operating condition further eliminating potential noise nuisances from
equipment operations.
10.0 Waste Placement
Waste will only be disposed of inside the area labeled limits of C&D waste as shown on Drawing
CD-77B. Drawing CD-77B also indicates the buffers as maintained. The existing contours of the
current waste placement operation as well as closed MSW areas are identified on Drawing C-
01. Waste is to be placed vertically over existing construction and debris material and closed
MSW areas. The removal of solid waste from the C&D landfill is prohibited.
Solid waste unloading at the landfill is controlled to prevent disposal in locations other than
those permitted. Such control is also used to confine the working face to a minimum width,
facilitating a safe and efficient operation. The waste shall be managed in the smallest area
(working face) feasible. Upon dumping, the waste will be spread and compacted as densely as
practical into cells utilizing a bulldozer or a compactor.
The fill sequence using multiple lifts allows filling to occur uniformly across the site. This
provides for elimination of depression areas and facilitates proper storm water movement and
management. Waste disposal activities will progress in approximately 10 foot lifts across the
landfill footprint as shown on (Drawing C-01).
11.0 Asbestos
The White Street Landfill does not accept asbestos. Asbestos is listed as a banned material on
the signage in Figure 2 and staff is trained to detect and prevent disposal through the waste
screening program.
12.0 Cover Requirements
A significant volume of soil is required to provide adequate cover and allow for safe and efficient
waste disposal operations. In order to provide for these requirements, the landfill maintains a
large permitted borrow area (Drawing CD-77B). The landfill also maintains a stockpile for soil
that is brought to the landfill from outside sources (Drawing CD-77B). These outside soil
sources must be approved by staff prior to being brought to the landfill.

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations PlanVector Control
6
12.1 Weekly Cover
In compliance with the latest rules as promulgated regarding management of C&D waste, the
waste will be covered with six inches of earthen material at least once per week and when the
working face exceeds one-half acre. The landfill will also have available daily cover material if
needed to apply in times of adverse weather conditions. At this time, the landfill will be utilizing
earthen material from the above described soil sources to cover the waste. This material has
been demonstrated to control odors, vectors, blowing litter, and fires. The weekly cover soil
requirement is 82,000 cubic yards assuming a 10:1 waste to soil ratio.
12.2 Intermediate Cover
Intermediate cover consisting of a total of 12 inches of earthen material is applied to all areas
which will not have any waste placement occurring for a period of three months or more. Areas
which have received intermediate cover are graded to facilitate proper drainage and to prevent
any ponding of water. Once proper grading and drainage has been achieved, temporary grass
will be planted. Any erosion or damage to the intermediate cover is repaired on a routine
basis. See Section 1.2 of the Closure/Post Closure Plan for the definition of vegetation. During
construction of the final cap, the top six inches of the intermediate cover will be removed to
prepare for the final cap.
13.0 Vector Control
The City will prevent or control on-site populations of disease vectors using techniques
appropriate for the protection of human health and the environment. For purposes of this item,
"disease vectors" means any rodents, flies, mosquitoes, or other animals or insects, capable of
transmitting disease to humans. Vectors are generally attracted by opportunities for food and
shelter. C&D waste is not a food source for many vectors. Vectors seeking shelter in the waste
mass can be discouraged by covering of the waste and proper grading to prevent ponding of
water. If vectors become a problem, a licensed exterminator or other legal means of control
shall be implemented.
14.0 Explosive Gases Control
With the C&D disposal operations occurring on top of a closed MSW facility, the landfill monitors
for migration of explosive gases. A gas monitoring system has been constructed along the east
side of the landfill which abuts Rankin Mill Road. All buildings and enclosed structures on the
landfill are monitored as part of the routine explosive gas monitoring program (Drawing CD-
79B). Routine monitoring for gas migration is performed in accordance with Rule .1626 part
(4)(b) on a quarterly basis to ensure that the following compliance levels for methane and
hydrogen sulfide concentrations are not exceeded: 1) the concentration of methane or hydrogen
sulfide gas generated by the facility does not exceed 25% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) for
the gas in facility structures (1.25% methane, 1.00% hydrogen sulfide); 2) the concentration of
methane or hydrogen sulfide gas migrating from the landfill does not exceed the LEL for
methane at the facility property boundary (5% methane, 4.00% hydrogen sulfide).
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Explosive Gases Control
Routine monitoring for gas migration will be performed on a quarterly basis to ensure that the
following compliance levels for explosive gas concentrations are not exceeded.
• The concentration of methane or hydrogen sulfide gas generated by the facility does not
exceed 25 percent of the respective lower explosive limit (LEL) in facility structures (1.25
percent methane, 1.00 percent hydrogen sulfide).
• The concentration of methane or hydrogen sulfide gas migrating from the Landfill does
not exceed the respective LEL at the facility property boundary (5 percent methane, 4
percent hydrogen sulfide).
The monitoring device that will be used will be a combustible gas indicator (CGI).
If concentrations are measured at greater than 25 percent of the LEL in facility structures, then
the landfill must immediately take all necessary steps to ensure protection of human health and
shall notify the NCDEQ-DWM. Within seven days of detection, the gas levels detected and a
description of the steps taken to protect human health shall be placed in the operating record.
Within 60 days of detection, a remediation plan describing the nature and extent of the problem
and the proposed remedy for gas releases shall be placed in the operating record, the
remediation plan shall be implemented, and the NCDEQ-DWM shall be notified.
Additional gas probes may be installed as required. They will be installed in a similar manner as
the existing gas probes.
14.1 Perimeter Explosive Gas Monitoring Well Placement
According to Rule .1624 (4), soil, hydrogeologic and hydraulic conditions, and proximity of
structures and property boundaries should be considered when locating gas monitoring wells
and determining monitoring frequency.
Landfill structures consist of the Administration Building, Compliance and Compost Operations
Office, Maintenance Shop, Phase II LFG blower building, equipment and maintenance shed at
the compost site, and the Operations Building. The landfill also operates a landfill gas collection
system on Phase II. The Phase II system is comprised of vertical extraction wells, a main
header pipe, condensate traps, a flare, and a blower station.
The Phase II area of the landfill is bounded on the north and west sides by North Buffalo Creek,
on the east by Rankin Mill Road, and on the south by landfill property. North Buffalo Creek will
act as a natural barrier between the landfill and adjoining properties on the north side of the
creek. Four locations labeled Surface Monitoring Points have been identified on the southern
bank of North Buffalo Creek and are monitored as part of the quarterly landfill gas monitoring
program.
It will be necessary to monitor gas migration along the landfill property line at Rankin Mill Road,
and the church property on Rankin Mill Road. As shown on Drawing CD-79B six wells are
located along Rankin Mill Road and two wells are located near the church property.
Permanently mounted gas monitors have been placed in the Administration Building,
Compliance and Compost Operations Office, Maintenance Shop, Phase II LFG blower building,
7
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Explosive Gases Control
and the Operations Building. These structures are also monitored during the quarterly
monitoring event.
14.2 Well Construction
All of the methane monitoring wells were constructed of 2-inch PVC pipe placed in a 6-inch
diameter bore hole. The screened interval ranged from 5-10 feet, terminating just above the
seasonally high water table or at auger refusal. A sand filter pack was placed around the screen
and extends 2 feet above the top of the screen. A bentonite seal was placed above the filter
pack. The 2-inch casing pipe is protected by a 4-inch square steel outer casing with a locking
steel cover. The outer casing is embedded in a 2’x2’x4” concrete pad.
14.3 Sampling Procedures
The monitoring device that will be used during each quarterly monitoring event will be a portable
combustible gas indicator. This is equipped with a flexible hose and rigid probe. Calibration of
the instrument will be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
Personnel designated to perform the monitoring program will be trained in the operation,
maintenance, and calibration of the monitoring equipment. The following operating procedures
and safety precautions will be adhered to by all personnel when monitoring for methane gas.
1. At least two people should be present at all times when monitoring for explosive gases.
2. At a minimum, safety glasses, gloves, work boots, will be worn. Other appropriate
personal protective equipment will be worn as needed.
3. Smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited at all times during the monitoring event.
4. Fire extinguishers will be readily available when performing the monitoring event.
5. Personnel performing the monitoring event will have the City radio readily available
which has direct access to emergency personnel.
14.4 Emergency Response Plan
In the event gas levels are detected that exceed allowable limits, the emergency response plan
will be as follows.
1. For 100% LEL at landfill boundaries less than 250 feet from structures:
a. Greensboro Fire Department and Hazardous Material Team will be notified.
b. Implement procedures as outlined in Rule .1624 (4).
2. For 100% LEL at landfill boundaries where the distance is greater than 250 feet from
structures:
a. Notify the Division.
3. For structures detection levels greater than 25% LEL:
a. Evacuate the structure immediately.
b. Notify Greensboro Fire Department and Hazardous Material Team.

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Prevention of Fires
15.0 Prevention of Fires
In accordance with the Clean Air Act, open burning is prohibited at this site, unless approved by
the Division for the infrequent burning of land clearing debris as generated from natural
disasters or emergency clean-up operations. In order to control accidental fires occurring at the
site, the following preventative measures have been taken:
1. The scale attendants and equipment operators screen incoming waste loads for signs of
hot loads such as smoke, steam, or heat being released from the waste. If evidence of a
hot load is detected, the hauler is diverted to the paved road directly east of the
scalehouse. This prevents the load from entering the disposal unit and provides a safe
area for emergency crews to manage the situation.
2. As described in the City of Greensboro Smoking Policy, smoking is confined to
designated areas only. Smoking is not allowed within the footprint of the disposal unit, in
any of the landfill equipment, or the landfill buildings. Smoking is also disallowed at the
fuel dispensing station, in the vicinity of any of the landfill gas collection system
structures or facilities or other fire sensitive area.
3. Motorized equipment is not parked near fuel dispensing stations longer than necessary
for refueling.
4. Fuel spills are reported immediately and contained by berming the area and cleaned up
immediately using an approved absorbent material.
5. Landfill equipment does not remain on the active disposal area of the site overnight.
6. Landfill equipment is washed routinely and kept free of ignitable debris.
7. Landfill equipment is maintained through a rigorous on-site routine preventative
maintenance program to ensure integrity of all operating systems and fluid conveyance
lines.
8. Dead trees, brush, or vegetation, adjacent to the landfill are removed immediately, and
grass and weeds are routinely mowed so that brush fires cannot spread to the landfill.
The landfill employs several types of large bush-hog and lawn type mowers to
accomplish this task.
In the event of a fire, the Greensboro Fire Department is notified immediately. Fires and
explosions that occur at the C&D Landfill will be verbally communicated to the Division within 24
hours and followed by written communication within 15 days. Written notification will include the
suspected cause of fire or explosion, the response taken to manage the incident, and the
action(s) to be taken to prevent the future occurrence of fire or explosion.
16.0 Waste Screening Program
In order to assure that prohibited wastes are not entering the landfill facility, a Waste Screening
Program has been implemented at the landfill. Waste received at the scalehouse and wastes
taken to the working face are inspected by trained personnel. The facility is only allowed to
receive waste from generated in with the City of Greensboro and Guilford County.
9
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations PlanWaste Screening Program

10
16.1 Waste Receiving and Inspection
All vehicles (customers and visitors) must stop at the scalehouse. All refuse containing vehicles
are weighed and their load assessed. All visitors must report in the scalehouse and sign in. The
scale attendant requests from the driver of the refuse containing vehicle a brief description of
the waste to ensure that unacceptable wastes are not allowed in the landfill. The scale attendant
then requests from the driver the following information to document all inspections:
 Date and time
 Source and type of wastes
 Hauling company, vehicle and driver identification
 Net weight of load
The landfill will notify the Division within 24 hours of attempted disposal of any waste the C&D
landfill is not permitted to receive, including waste from outside its service area.
16.2 Waste Screening
Each day, haulers are subject to being screened as part of the waste screening program. A
minimum of one truck must be screened per day. The current waste screening program will
continue to be utilized by the landfill staff for determination of accurate disposal areas and the
prevention of prohibited wastes as described in Rule .542 (e).
1. The scale attendants utilize a computer based random number generator to determine
the vehicles to be screened that day.
2. The scale attendants notify the landfill technician when the incoming loads are five loads
away from the number that has been selected for screening.
3. Once the incoming load has been selected, the scale attendant informs the hauler that
the load will be inspected, collects the name of the waste generator, the origin of the
waste, the type of waste, and the weight of the waste. The truck is then directed to the
correct disposal area.
4. Upon arrival at the disposal site, the waste hauler is directed where to deposit the load
for inspection. The waste will be deposited in an area separate and away from the
working face of the disposal area. The waste hauler then presents the weigh ticket to the
inspector who records the ticket number, waste hauler information, date, and time.
5. The inspector will examine the load. The inspector will verify the waste complies with all
items on the Waste Screening Inspection Form (Form 1, Waste Screening). The
inspector will also include a brief description of the waste on the form.
6. The driver must remain with the waste until is determined by the inspectors that it is
acceptable for disposal. If it deemed acceptable, the driver and truck may be released.
The waste material is then moved to the working face for disposal. The inspection area
is cleaned and prepared to receive another load.
7. If through the normal procedures of the Waste Screening Program or regular daily
operations, a hauler has been identified as routinely bringing prohibited wastes for
disposal, that hauler will be subject to daily screening in addition to the random load(s)
as selected for that day.
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan
Any prohibited wastes detected through this program are recorded on the Waste Screening
Inspection Form and the incident is described in detail on the Report of Attempted Disposal
of Hazardous or Prohibited Waste form (Form 2 Report of Attempted Disposal of Hazardous
or Prohibited Materials). If unacceptable wastes are found, the load will be isolated and
secured. The Solid Waste Disposal Manager will then notify the Waste Management
Specialist of NCDEQ within 24 hours of attempted disposal.
All Waste Screening Inspection Forms, hauler information, reports of attempted disposal of
prohibited wastes, and records of disposition of rejected wastes are maintained in the
operating record in the scalehouse. These records are routinely electronically archived and
hard copies are stored and secured in the records storage room in the Operations Building
2503 –B.
17.0 Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan
In the event that identifiable hazardous waste or waste of questionable character is discovered
at the landfill, whether through the waste screening program or normal operations, the
Hazardous Materials Contingency Plan (Appendix C, Attachment 1) shall be instituted
immediately.
18.0 Access Control
Entry to the site is limited to landfill personnel, approved waste haulers, and properly identified
persons whose entry is authorized by the site management and properly logged in. The City
reserves the right to restrict access to the site. The landfill routinely performs public information
tours and educational of the facility for civic groups and local grade schools and universities.
These tours are conducted with a landfill staff member present at all times. Visitors may be
allowed near the active area only when accompanied by one of the landfill staff.
As shown in Figure 2, a sign is posted at the entrance of the landfill stating the facility name,
permit number, operating hours, and prohibited wastes. As shown in Figure 3, there is additional
signage posted periodically throughout the landfill to direct traffic flow and to provide information
on the location of appropriate disposal sites.
The facility is surrounded on the west, southwest, south, southeast and eastern sides by means
of a chain link fence. All gates in this fence network are secured with locks and chains
preventing vehicular access and illegal dumping. As stated in landfill property deeds, the
northern and northwestern property line of the landfill facility is the center of North Buffalo
Creek. This creek, being a natural barrier also prohibits vehicular access and illegal dumping.
19.0 Drainage, Sedimentation and Erosion
Control
The landfill facility has an extensive network of sedimentation and erosion control devices to
restrict sediments being carried from the site. The landfill facility has developed a Storm Water
11
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Water Protection
Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP, Drawing CD-80B) to further manage runoff and protect
the integrity of North Buffalo Creek. Sediment basins also prevent the discharge of pollutants
into the waters of the United States, including wetlands that may violate any requirements of the
Clean Water Act, including but not limited to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) requirements. In areas which will not have additional waste placed on them for three
months or more, but where final termination of disposal operations has not occurred, vegetative
cover will be present to prevent on-site erosion. Vegetative cover soil will be capable of
supporting grass and vegetation growth. Drainage channels, benches, and other features will
have appropriate control devices installed. Where needed, down slope drains will be
constructed of 15” corrugated plastic pipe. All devices are routinely inspected and repairs are
made as necessary and as soon as possible after detection.
No solid waste will be disposed of in standing water and surface water will be diverted away
from the active face. In addition, surface water will not be impounded over or in waste.
20.0 Water Protection
The landfill has a comprehensive surface and groundwater monitoring program (reference
Figure 3 on the S&ME WQMP) to provide early detection information to allow for the prevention
of pollution to groundwater. This program is also comprised of a Groundwater Monitoring Plan
prepared by S&ME, project number 1584-98-081 which is included herewith and made a part
thereof and is included in Appendix D.
21.0 Maintenance
21.1 Repair of Security Control Devices
Should the routine inspection process note any deficiencies in any of the security and access
control devices, maintenance and repair will be performed as necessary. Locks, vehicular gates,
and fencing will be replaced if functioning improperly. Warning and information signs will be kept
legible at all times and will be replaced if damaged by inclement weather or vandalism.
21.2 Erosion Damage Repair
Should the routine inspection process note any evidence of erosion in any areas of the final cap
system, maintenance, repair, and reseeding will be performed as necessary and as soon as
possible after detection. Excessive slopes will be flattened if possible by adding clean fill
material. If necessary, erosion control fabrics will be used to expedite re-vegetation of slopes
and to secure topsoil in place.
21.3 Correction of Settlement, Subsidence, and Displacement
Minimum slopes of 5% will be maintained after settlement in order to prevent ponding and allow
for proper drainage while preventing infiltration. If vertical or horizontal displacement occurs due
to differential settlement, cracks will be filled with appropriate material and final cover will be
reestablished.
12
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Operations Plan Benchmarks
21.4 Repair of Run-On/Run-Off Control Structures
All terraces, swales, and perimeter channels will be repaired, cleaned, or realigned to maintain
original conditions and performance. Any culverts, pipe, or other control device that becomes
damaged will be repaired or replaced.
21.5 Leachate Seep Prevention/Repairs
The landfill prevents leachate breakouts by maintaining the proper thickness of intermediate
cover and repairing erosion rills as necessary. In the event of a leachate breakout the landfill
staff would place additional soil cover in the area and re-vegetate.
22.0 Benchmarks
The landfill has a comprehensive horizontal and vertical control benchmark network (Drawing
CD-82B). This network is based on NAD 83 and NAVD 88. In addition to the on-site
benchmarks, the landfill facility has one NCGS control point (57W-200) on site and five points
on the west, south and east sides of the facility.

Re: Approval of Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
White Street Landfill, Phase II, Guilford County, Permit #41-03

Dear Ms. Covington:

The Solid Waste Section has reviewed the June 30, 2008 White Street Landfill Phase II Corrective Action
Plan (CAP) and the April 2009 Revised White Street Landfill Phase II Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
submitted on behalf of the City of Greensboro by S&ME, Inc. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 13B .1636, the
City of Greensboro selected Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA), Phytoremediation, and maintaining a
consistent contour within Phase II as the remedy to restore groundwater quality and effectively reduce the
groundwater contamination at the facility. The Solid Waste Section approved the selected remedy for the
White Street Landfill, Phase II on June 24, 2008.

The Corrective Action Plan (CAP) proposes implementation of the following activities:
Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA)
Phytoremediation
Maintaining a consistent contour within Phase II

A comprehensive MNA baseline will be established at the facility consisting of four consecutive quarterly
sampling events. In addition, hybrid poplars and willows will be used in a phytoremediation system by
enhancing the corrective action of the metal thallium and volatile organic compounds impacting
groundwater downgradient from the facility. As a result, the Solid Waste Section hereby approves the
Corrective Action Plan for immediate implementation. The implementation of the approved selected
remedy shall now take place in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .1637, .0547, and as outlined in the
Corrective Action Plan. If the selected remedy proves to be ineffective, then the contingency plan located
within the Corrective Action Plan shall be implemented. If you have any questions or concerns regarding
this letter, please contact me at 919-508-8500. Thank you for your continued cooperation with this
matter.

UMEMORANDUM

To: Solid Waste Directors, Public Works Directors, Landfill Operators, and
Landfill Owners

From: The Solid Waste Section

Reference: Guidelines for 14-Day Notification of Groundwater Exceedances Form
Submittal per rule: 15A NCAC 13B .1633(c)(1)

• The 14-day notification form should be submitted whenever a groundwater
protection standard (GWPS) is exceeded for the first time.
o As defined in 13B .1634(g)(h), a GWPS will be either of the following: the 2L
standard (most cases); 2L Interim Maximum Allowable Concentration; a
groundwater protection standard calculated by the SWS; or a site-specific
statistical background level approved by the SWS.

• If a facility is undergoing assessment or corrective action, the 14-day notification
form should be submitted UONLYU when the constituent with the reported
exceedance is not being addressed through assessment or corrective action.

• If a facility plans to conduct a re-sampling event to confirm the initial
exceedance, the 14-day notification form should be submitted UONLYU when the
re-sampling event analytical data confirms the initial exceedance.

MEMORANDUM
To: Solid Waste Directors, Landfill Owners/Operators, and North Carolina Certified
Laboratories
From: North Carolina Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section
Re: Tetrahydrofuran Analysis at Construction and Demolition Landfills
Based upon historical sampling results, health and environmental concerns, and an ongoing EPA
evaluation of tetrahydrofuran (THF), the Solid Waste Section (Section) is requiring, in
accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0601, that Construction and Demolition Landfills (CDLFs)
begin analyzing ground and surface water samples collected after January 1, 2011 for THF. The
purpose of this memorandum is to inform CDLF owners and operators and laboratories that are
involved in the collection or analysis of environmental samples of this requirement.
Although the North Carolina Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch previously
established a health based standard for THF, there are currently no established
Maximum Contaminant Levels or 15A NCAC 02L .0202 Standards due to the lack
of historical toxicological data necessary to promulgate regulatory standards. However,
THF analysis is currently required at CDLFs located in several states throughout the U.S. and
has been shown to be a constituent of concern in groundwater at CDLFs for several years. In
addition, THF has been documented as a contaminant associated with CDLF leachate.
Due to the potential health hazards associated with THF and its documented presence at CDLFs,
the Section has determined that CDLFs should begin analyzing ground and surface water
samples for THF to ensure protection of human health and the environment. Although
regulatory standards have not yet been established for THF, its presence in groundwater must be
determined in order to accurately assess the risks at each CDLF and determine if regulatory
standards need to be established. The Section will reevaluate monitoring requirements for THF
in the future after enough data has been collected to determine the extent of THF at C&D
facilities.
Laboratories are advised to contact the Division of Water Quality-Laboratory Section-
Certification Branch prior to initiating THF analysis using Method 8260.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Jaclynne Drummond (919-508-
8500) or Ervin Lane (919-508-8516). Thank you for your continued cooperation with this
matter.

2.0 Low Permeability Soil Cap Construction
Quality Assurance
2.1 Introduction
This section of the Plan addresses the low permeability soil cap, and outlines the soils CQA
program to be implemented with regard to materials confirmation, laboratory and field
confirmation test requirements, overview and interfacing with the Contractor's CQC Program,
and resolution of problems.
2.2 Low Permeability Soil Cap
2.2.1 Subgrade
The subgrade material below the low permeability soil cap will be prepared by the Contractor
prior to the placement of fill. The CQC Consultant will provide density testing of the pre-fill
subgrade at the frequency specified in the project specifications. The CQA Consultant will
observe the proof roll by the Contractor, review the density test data provided by the CQC
Consultant, and provide verification that the pre-fill subgrade is acceptable. The CQA
Consultant may conduct confirmation density testing as deemed appropriate. The CQA
Consultant will visually examine the surface of the subgrade to verify that any potentially
deleterious materials have been removed.
The subgrade material below the low permeability soil cap is composed of controlled fill and in
situ soils. The Contractor shall place controlled fill as required to cover exposed waste and to fill
depressions in the subgrade in accordance with the project specifications. The CQC Consultant
shall provide testing of the controlled fill material in accordance with the project specifications.
The CQA Consultant will provide confirmation testing of the controlled fill as deemed
appropriate.
2.2.2 Low Permeability Soil Cap Material
The low permeability soil cap shall be placed and compacted in accordance with the project
specifications. The CQC Consultant shall conduct field density and moisture tests at the
frequency presented in the project specifications. The CQA Consultant shall provide
conformance tests at a frequency of approximately 10 percent of the required CQC tests.

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – CQA Plan Low Permeability Soil Cap Construction Quality Assurance
2.3 Soils Testing
2.3.1 Test Methods
All testing used to evaluate the suitability or conformance of soils materials will be carried out in
accordance with the project specifications.
2.3.2 Soils Testing Requirements
The soil CQC testing must comply with the minimum frequencies presented in the project
specifications. The frequency of CQA testing required will be determined by the CQA Consultant
in light of the potential variability of materials and the acceptance/failure rate of the CQC testing.
2.4 Low Permeability Soil Cap Construction Quality Assurance
CQA will be performed on low permeability soil cap construction. CQA evaluation will consist of:
(1) monitoring the work and observing the CQC testing; and (2) performing laboratory and field
conformance tests. Laboratory CQA conformance tests will be conducted on samples taken at
the borrow source, stockpile, and during the course of the work prior to construction. Field CQA
conformance tests will be conducted during the course of the work.
2.4.1 Monitoring
The CQA Consultant shall monitor and document the construction of the low permeability soil
cap. Monitoring the construction work for the subgrade and the soil cap includes the following:
• observing CQC testing to determine the water content and other physical properties of
the subgrade and low permeability soil cap during compaction and compilation of the
data;
• monitoring the loose thickness of lifts as placed;
• monitoring the action of the compaction and/or heavy hauling equipment on the
construction surface (i.e., penetration, pumping, cracking. etc.); and
• monitoring the number of passes used to compact each lift.
2.4.2 Construction Quality Assurance Judgmental Testing
During construction, the frequency of conformance testing may be increased at the discretion of
the CQA Consultant when visual observations of construction performance indicate a potential
problem. Additional testing for suspected areas will be considered when:
• the rollers slip during rolling operation;
• the lift thickness is greater than specified;
• the fill material is at an improper moisture content;
• fewer than the specified number of roller passes are made;
• dirt-clogged rollers are used to compact the material;
• the rollers may not have used optimum ballast;
• the fill materials differ substantially from those specified; or
• the degree of compaction is doubtful.

2.4.3 Perforations in Cap
Perforations that must be filled will include, but not be limited to, the following:
• nuclear density test probe locations;
• permeability sampling locations; and/or
• thickness checks.
Unless otherwise noted, or as directed by the Project Manager, all perforations of the subgrade
and low permeability soil cap by probes or sample tubes will be backfilled in accordance with
project specifications. The CQA Consultant will observe and confirm that adequate procedures
are being employed.
2.4.4 Deficiencies
If a defect is discovered in the low permeability soil cap product, the CQC Consultant will
immediately determine the extent and nature of the defect. If the defect is indicated by an
unsatisfactory test result, the CQC Consultant will determine the extent of the deficient area by
additional tests, observations, a review of records, or other appropriate means. If the defect is
related to adverse site conditions, such as overly wet soils or surface desiccation, the CQC
Consultant will define the limits and nature of the defect.
2.4.4.1 NOTIFICATION
After determining the extent and nature of a defect, the CQC Consultant will notify the Project
Manager, the CQA Consultant, and Contractor and schedule appropriate retests when the work
deficiency is corrected. The CQA Consultant shall observe all retests on defects.
2.4.4.2 REPAIRS AND RETESTING
The Contractor will correct the deficiency to the satisfaction of the CQA Consultant. If a project
specification criterion cannot be met, or unusual weather conditions hinder work, then the CQC
Consultant will develop and present to the Project Manager and CQA Consultant suggested
solutions for approval.
All retests recommended by the CQC Consultant must verify that the defect has been corrected
before any additional work is performed by the Contractor in the area of the deficiency. The
CQA Consultant will verify that all installation requirements are met and that all submittals are
provided.

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Closure Plan
1.0 Closure Plan
1.1 Cap System Background
This closure plan is in accordance with the State Solid Waste Management Rule 0.547(4) for
the White Street C&D Landfill. The final cap system, in accordance with Rule .1627(c)(1),
consists of an 18-inch infiltration layer overlain by a six inch erosion layer. The 65-acre C&DLF
footprint was permitted in 1997 on top of the closed unlined Phase II MSW landfill. The City
closed an 8-acre area of the cap which was approved by North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) on February 17, 2014. A second closure of approximately 26
acres was performed and approved by NCDEQ on September 2, 2015. The remaining 31 acres
are currently being filled.
1.2 Cap System Design
Compacted soil liners will be incorporated in the cap system design to provide protection
throughout the 30-year post-closure period. The system will consist of two layers (bottom up):
the compacted soil liner and the erosion layer. The compacted soil liner forms a composite
barrier designed to reduce infiltration into the Landfill, thus minimizing leachate and the potential
for groundwater contamination. The erosion layer is designed to sustain vegetation and
minimize erosion.
The landfill may use on- or off-site borrow material for the compacted soil layer and erosion
layer. The compacted soil liner will consist of no less than 18 inches of soil having permeability
less than or equal to soils underlying the landfill or no greater than 1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec, whichever
is less. In order to assure that the material meets the permeability criteria, the soil will be tested
prior to use and during placement. It is anticipated that the upper 12 inches of the intermediate
cover will be suitable for compaction and incorporation into the compacted soil layer.
Construction methods for the compacted soil liner shall be based upon the type and quality of
the borrow source and shall be verified in the field by constructing test pad(s). A professional
engineer shall certify that the compacted soil liner installation conforms to the plans approved by
NCDEQ Division of Waste Management.
The erosion layer will consist of no less than six inches of earthen material capable of sustaining
native plant growth. It is anticipated that this layer will consist of suitable on-site or off-site
borrow material.
The materials of the erosion layer will be selected considering soil type, nutrient levels, pH,
erodibility, sideslope drainage, and other factors. The vegetation will be selected based upon
the following characteristics.
• Species of grasses which are locally adapted and resistant to drought or temperature
extremes.
• Having roots which will not disrupt the compacted soil liner.
• Ability to thrive in low nutrient soil and develop a good stand to resist erosion.
• Survive and function with little or no maintenance.
1
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Closure Plan
All cover material will be free of putrescible material, solid waste, vegetation (prior to
placement), rocks, construction debris, frozen soil, and other deleterious materials.
The cap will have a gas venting system that will minimize the build up of pressure being exerted
on the low permeability barrier. The system may consist of vertical wells, horizontal wells, or a
permeable layer beneath the barrier layer that will allow pressures to vent to either the
atmosphere or to a collection system. The spacing of the wells shall be one well per acre. A
lower frequency of wells may be acceptable if it can be demonstrated to control emissions.
1.3 Final Contour Requirements
The final contour requirements for closure are shown on the Drawing C-02. These contours
represent the top of the intermediate cover layer.
The landfill is designed to have minimum top slopes of five percent and side slopes of 4H:1V.
Final contours have been established to allow the landfill’s surface water to drain off the final
cover while limiting erosion potential and maintaining post settlement slopes greater than five
percent. A system of sideslope diversion channels, slope drains, and perimeter channels are
designed to convey the runoff to one of seven adjacent sedimentation basins.
1.4 Cap System Material Requirements
Based on 18 inches of compacted soil liner placed over the areas that require final closure,
75,000 CY of compacted soil will be required for the first layer of the cap system. A minimum of
25,000 CY will be required for the erosion layer. The following table summarizes the cap system
requirements for White Street C&D Landfill.
Table 1 Cap System Requirements
Cap System Requirements
18-inch Compacted Soil Liner 75,000 CY
6-inch Erosion Layer 25,000 CY

1.5 Erosion Control Measures
Vegetation will be established once the final grades of the erosion layer are complete to prevent
erosion of the final cover. The sedimentation basins were designed to control the 24-hour 25-
year storm event.
1.6 Settlement Subsidence and Displacement
Landfill compaction methods, which include the use of compaction equipment to spread and
compact in layers, combined with an adequate number of passes over each layer of waste, will
be utilized to reduce voids and minimize differential settlement. Proper placement of weekly,
intermediate, and final cover will reduce the moisture content of the waste prior to site closure
and further reduce settlement. Final slopes of the landfill have been developed to allow for this
anticipated subsidence so that long-term positive drainage of the fill will not be hindered.
2
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Closure Plan
1.7 Schedule for Closure
According to Rule .0543(c)(5), closure is required to begin either 30 days after the final known
receipt of waste, 30 days after a 10 acre area or greater is within 15 feet of final design grades
or within a year of the most recent receipt of waste. The City of Greensboro will request an
extension from the NCDEQ Division of Waste Management to begin closure activities no later
than 30 days after the known final receipt of waste in accordance with Rule .0543(c)(5).
Closure activities will be completed within 180 days of the start of closure unless an extension
has been requested and received in accordance with Rule .0543(c)(6).
1.8 Notice of Closure and Date of Final Waste Acceptance
A sign indicating the anticipated date of closure and the date of final waste acceptance will be
conspicuously posted at the facility at least 30 days in advance. Prior to beginning closure of the
unit or portions thereof, the NCDEQ Department of Solid Waste Management will be notified
that a notice of intent to close has been placed in the operating record.
1.9 Closure Verification
The following procedures will be implemented following closure.
• A Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) report shall be submitted to the NCDEQ
Division of Solid Waste Management. This CQA report shall describe the observations
and tests used before, during, and upon completion of construction to ensure that the
construction materials meet the cap design specifications and the construction and
certification requirements. The CQA report shall contain as-built drawings.
• A signed certification from an independent registered professional engineer verifying that
closure has been completed in accordance with the closure plan will be submitted to the
NCDEQ Division of Waste Management and a copy will be placed in the operating
record.
• Within 90 days, a survey plat prepared by a professional land surveyor registered by the
State, indicating the location and dimensions of landfill disposal areas, will be recorded
in the RMC office.
• A notation shall be recorded on the deed notifying any potential purchaser of the
property that the land has been used as a solid waste management unit and that future
use is restricted under Paragraph (8) of Rule .0543(c). A copy of the deed notation as
recorded shall be filed with the operating record.
1.10 Cost Estimate of Closure Activities
The cost estimate of closure activities is provided in Appendix F1. The estimate is in 2016
dollars and will be updated in the next financial assurance cycle. The cost estimate is subject to
change prior to the closure of the landfill and as the closure design is finalized.

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Post-Closure Plan
2.0 Post-Closure Plan
2.1 Introduction
This Post-Closure Plan has been developed to outline steps to be taken to ensure the
environmental soundness of the White Street C&D Landfill during its post-closure care period.
The post-closure care period will last at least 30 years after closure completion and at a
minimum will consist of the following.
• Maintaining integrity and effectiveness of final cover system.
• Performing groundwater and surface water monitoring.
• Maintaining and operating a gas monitoring system.
• Maintaining run-on/run-off controls.
No wastes will remain exposed after closure of the unit; the total area of the unit is 135 acres.
Access to the closed site by the public will be restricted. Any proposed use will be evaluated to
determine its potential for posing a significant health hazard. The Phase II MSW Landfill was
closed in 1998. The 90 acre C&D landfill portion of the Phase II currently consists of 59 closed
acres and 31 active acres.
2.2 Post-Closure Contact
All correspondence and questions concerning the post-closure care of the unit should be
directed to:
Solid Waste Disposal Manager
[phone]
2503 White Street
Greensboro, NC 27405
2.3 Description of Use
After the unit is officially closed in accordance with the Closure Plan, the area will be allowed to
return to a natural vegetative state. The City will maintain control of the property and prevent
public access to it during the post-closure period.
There will be an access road on the cap to allow proper maintenance during post-closure. Final
location of the access will be determined as a part of operations and Closure Plan.
2.4 Maintenance
2.4.1 Repair of Security Control Devices
All security control devices will be inspected and maintained as necessary to ensure access to
the site is controlled. Locks, vehicular gates, and fencing will be replaced if functioning
improperly. Warning signs will be kept legible at all times and will be replaced if damaged by
inclement weather or vandalism.
4
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Post-Closure Plan
2.4.2 Erosion Damage Repair
If erosion of the final cover occurs during post-closure, the affected area will be repaired and re-
seeded as necessary. Excessive slopes will be flattened if possible by adding clean fill material.
If necessary, erosion control fabrics will be used to expedite rapid revegetation of slopes and to
secure topsoil in place. Rough surfaces, which cause isolated erosion areas will be smooth and
re-seeded as necessary.
2.4.3 Correction of Settlement, Subsidence, and Displacement
Minimum slopes of five percent will be maintained in order to prevent ponding and allow for
proper drainage without infiltration. If vertical or horizontal displacement occurs due to
differential settlement, cracks will be filled with appropriate material and final cover will be
reestablished.
2.4.4 Repair of Run-On/Run-Off Control Structures
All side slope terraces, ditches, and perimeter channels will be repaired, cleaned or realigned in
order to maintain original condition. Any culverts that are damaged will be replaced.
2.4.5 Groundwater/Gas Monitoring System
Groundwater wells will be inspected regularly (at the time of sampling) to ensure integrity.
Persons inspecting a well should look for signs of well tampering, cracking or degradation, and
determine whether the well needs to be replaced. If the decision is made to replace and
abandon a well, the replacement well should be installed 5 to 10 feet from the abandoned well
in accordance with previous well specifications. Well abandonment should be accomplished by
pulling the casing out and grouting the hole.
2.5 Monitoring Plan
The closed unit shall be monitored for 30 years. A series of inspections shall be scheduled to
ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the cap system, storm water control system,
groundwater monitoring system, gas collection system, and to protect human health and the
environment.
2.5.1 Inspection Frequencies
Inspections to be conducted during the post-closure care period will occur regularly as follows:
Table 2 Post Closure Inspection Frequencies

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Closure/Post-Closure Plan Post-Closure Plan
2.5.2 Quarterly Inspections
Quarterly inspections of the closed site will include examination of the security control devices
for signs of deterioration or vandalism to ensure access to the site is limited to authorized
persons.
2.5.3 Semiannual Inspections
Semiannual inspections of the site during the post-closure period will be conducted by the
Owner or Owner’s representative with attention paid to the integrity of the final cover system.
This includes inspection for erosion damage, a good stand of vegetative cover, and cover
settlement, subsidence, and displacement. Drainage ditches will be cleared of litter and debris,
benchmark integrity will be noted and maintained as well as the integrity of the groundwater and
gas monitoring systems.
Groundwater monitoring will continue on a regular basis throughout the post-closure care
period. The parameters chosen for analysis will be no less than the requirements of regulatory
agencies. Groundwater monitoring wells will be inspected in accordance with the post-closure
inspection protocol. A report of findings will be made to the responsible party via the Post-
Closure Inspection Checklist, including any recommendations for actions necessary to ensure
the site continues to meet the closure performance standard. The engineer will also receive
copies of the quarterly inspection reports and respond to any comments that demand immediate
attention.
2.6 Engineering Certification
Based on the monitoring reports and semiannual site visits, annual certifications by the owner or
owner’s representative will be placed in the operating record. They will certify that the post
closure plan is being followed, noting discrepancies along with the corrective actions
undertaken. At the end of the post-closure period, the individual certifications will be compiled
into a final document and forwarded to NCDEQ.
2.7 Cost Estimate of Post Closure Care Activities
The cost estimate of post-closure care activities is provided in Appendix F1. The estimate is in
2016 dollars and will be updated in the next financial assurance cycle.

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Introduction
1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan (LGMP) is to provide a management practice
for the monitoring and control of landfill gas generated by the White Street Construction and
Demolition Debris (C&D) Landfill.
Following approval of this LGMP by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ) Division of Waste Management (DWM), a routine methane monitoring program will be
implemented at the landfill. Once final closure of the unit is complete, the monitoring program
will continue in accordance with NC regulation, 15A NCAC 13B .0543 (e)(1)(C). Following
approval, this plan will be placed in the landfill operating record and shall remain open for
revisions throughout the active life of the landfill, as well as after landfill closure is complete. All
changes to this plan will be submitted to NCDEQ DWM as they are implemented.
2.0 Background Information
2.1 General
The White Street Landfill is located off White Street approximately five miles northwest of the
City of Greensboro, North Carolina (the City) and is operated under North Carolina NCDEQ
DWM Permit No. 4103-CDLF-1998. The facility consists of three major units: the closed Phase I
unit, the active Phase II C&D unit, which is on top of the closed Phase II MSW unit, and the
Phase III MSW unit which is currently active. The closed Phase II MSW unit is unlined and is
approximately 135 acres. The Phase II C&D landfill area occupies approximately 90 acres.
Land use to the east and north of the Phase II C&D landfill is primarily residential along with
some light industrial use along Rankin Mill Road. To the west is the closed Phase I landfill, and
to the south is the active Phase III MSW landfill.
3.0 Landfill Gas Overview & Regulatory Action
Levels
One of the byproducts of landfilling municipal solid waste is landfill gas which is generated by
the anaerobic decomposition of waste within the landfill. Landfill gas typically consists of
methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), with trace amounts of oxygen (O2), water (H2O),
nitrogen (N2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and other gases. The amount and rate of generation of
landfill gas is affected by several factors, including the following.
• Total refuse tonnage in-place.
• Moisture content of the refuse.
• Age of the refuse.
• Organic composition and pH value of the refuse.
• Method and degree of compaction of the refuse.
• Type and amount of cover material used.
1
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Landfill Gas Overview & Regulatory Action Levels
The concentration of the landfill gas varies according to site-specific conditions; however, landfill
gas compositions of 30-53 percent methane (CH4) and 34-51 percent carbon dioxide (CO2) are
common.
A byproduct of landfilling C&D waste is hydrogen sulfide gas which is generated by the
anaerobic decomposition of waste within the landfill. The higher concentrations of hydrogen
sulfide are believed to be associated with the gypsum board component (e.g. wallboard) present
in C&D material. The combination of gypsum, organic material, moisture and anaerobic
conditions present in C&D landfills is believed to provide a favorable mixture and environment
for bacteria to produce hydrogen sulfide gas.
C&D landfill owners and operators must insure that the concentration of methane gas or other
explosive gases generated by the facility does not exceed 25 percent of the lower explosive limit
at the facility boundary, in on-site facility structures (excluding gas control or recovery system
components) and the facility does not release methane gas or other explosive gases in any
concentration that can be detected in offsite structures per 15A NCAC 13B .0544 (d).
Landfill gas can travel in all directions, taking the path of least resistance. Landfill gas moves
from areas of higher concentrations to areas of lower concentrations (diffusion), or from higher
gas pressure zones to lower gas pressure zones (convection). Subsurface geologic and
hydrogeologic conditions contribute greatly to the potential for gas migration. When landfill gas
migration is taking place, on-site and nearby structures are at risk of receiving migrating gas due
to confined spaces in or under the buildings. Landfill gas can enter buildings through cracks in
the foundation or subsurface utility services. Lack of ventilation may result in the buildup of
methane concentrations to explosive limits.
In an effort to eliminate the potential hazards associated with the migration of landfill gas,
NCDEQ has promulgated regulations (15A NCAC 13B .0544 (d)(2)) , which require owners
and/or operators of all C&D landfill facilities to monitor gases at the facility property boundary
and on-site structures. Tables 1 and 2 below provide the present regulatory limits for methane
and hydrogen sulfide at C&D sites.

4.0 Landfill Gas Monitoring
4.1 Proposed Landfill Gas Monitoring Procedure
To provide a means of monitoring methane gas at the landfill, permanent gas migration
monitoring stations have been installed along the perimeter of the Phase II active and closed
landfill areas. These stations are monitored on a quarterly basis.
4.1.1 Permanent Monitoring Station Design and Installation
Permanent monitoring stations have been installed around the active and closed landfill. All the
wells are for detection monitoring. Drawing CD-79B Phase II Landfill Gas Monitoring System,
shows the monitoring wells at the landfill.
4.1.1.1 ACTIVE LANDFILL EXISTING STATIONS
Eight permanent monitoring stations (MGMW-1 through MGM-8) have been installed along the
permit boundary for Phase II (see Drawing CD-79B). The well locations were placed on the east
side of Phase II between the permitted waste boundary and property lines along Rankin Mill
Road. No wells are shown between the active landfill and Buffalo Creek since this is interior to
the property line and Buffalo Creek acts as a cut-off feature.

City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Landfill Gas Monitoring
4.1.2 Gas Migration Monitoring
Reading of the permanent monitoring stations and on site structures will be conducted on a
quarterly schedule. As per existing regulations, the monitoring frequency of individual stations
may be increased if combustible gas is detected above the LEL. Sampling procedure will follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.
All perimeter gas stations shall be monitored for the following parameters.
• Combustible Gas (methane) - with a Landtec GEM 5000 (or equivalent).The station shall
be sufficiently evacuated with the sample pump so that methane concentrations are
constant for at least 30 seconds. The large scale (0-100 percent methane-in-air) shall be
used first. If readings are below 5 percent, the reading will be obtained using the smaller
(0-5 percent methane-in-air) scale.
• Combustible Gas (hydrogen sulfide) - with a Landtec GEM 5000 (or equivalent).The
station shall be sufficiently evacuated with the sample pump so that hydrogen sulfide
concentrations are constant for at least 30 seconds. The large scale (0-100 percent
hydrogen sulfide-in-air) shall be used first. If readings are below 4 percent, the reading
will be obtained using the smaller (0-4 percent hydrogen sulfide-in-air) scale.
Information from the monitoring will be recorded on the field data form (Appendix 1). Any
readings recorded at or above the LEL for methane will be immediately verified and reported as
described in the Contingency Section of this plan.
4.1.3 Continuous Monitoring of On-Site Structures
Select on-site buildings will be equipped with continuous monitoring device to detect
combustible gas concentrations that may accumulate inside the structures.
The device should be rated to detect a wide range of combustible gases and have a methane
detection range of 500 to 10,000 parts per million (ppm) (.05 to 1.0 percent methane-in-air). The
monitor should be installed in an area of the structure where methane gas is most likely to
accumulate. Any verifiable detection of methane in the structures will be addressed and
reported in accordance with the Contingency Section of this LGMP.
4.2 Schedule for Installation of Monitoring Elements
When the City determines that additional permanent monitoring stations are needed, this station
will be installed and documentation will be submitted to the NCDEQ DWM after installation.
4.3 Maintenance and Calibration of Monitoring Elements
The City conducts the following maintenance schedule and calibration procedures for the gas
monitoring elements at the landfill. Training of personnel is conducted when necessary.
4.3.1 Maintenance of Permanent Monitoring Stations
A visual inspection of the permanent stations will be conducted quarterly in conjunction with the
monitoring events. The inspection schedule will increase with any increases in the monitoring
schedule. The condition of following elements will be inspected.

• Station surroundings including standing water and vegetation.
Any abnormalities regarding the condition of the station will be noted on the field log and
immediately addressed.
4.3.2 Calibration of Portable Monitoring Instruments
4.3.2.1 CONTINUOUS MONITORING DEVICES
Continuous monitoring devices will be maintained and calibrated according to the
manufacturers’ recommendations. Maintenance and calibration will include the following tasks.
• Verification of power to the monitor.
• Ensuring that there is no interference of air flow to the monitor.
• Exposing the sensor to a sample of calibration gas per the manufacturer's recommended
procedure to verify that the monitor is calibrated correctly.
4.3.2.2 PORTABLE MONITORING INSTRUMENTS
Portable monitoring instruments such as the Landtec GEM 2000 will be maintained and
calibrated according to the manufacturer's recommended procedure. For a detailed description
of the maintenance and calibration procedures, the instruction manual should be consulted.

manager and the personnel listed in Table 2 Contingency Plan Contacts of this plan,
may be contacted.
• Notify NCDEQ.
5.3.2 Action within 7 Days
The landfill manager will prepare and place in the operating record a brief report to include, at a
minimum, the following information.
• Results of original and any additional monitoring.
• Summary of actions taken included in Immediate Action section of this LGMP.
5.3.3 Action within 60 Days
5.3.3.1 PREPARE A REMEDIATION PLAN
A remediation plan will be prepared to address at least the following issues.
• Nature and extent of the problem.
• Proposed long-term remedial action(s) such as installation of passive or active gas
control system.
A copy of the LGMP will also be placed in the landfill operating record for the facility. NCDEQ
will be notified that the remediation plan has been implemented.
5.3.3.2 BAR-HOLE PROBE INSTALLATION AND MONITORING PROCEDURE
Bar-hole probes may be temporarily installed as a remediation plan and monitored along the
perimeter boundary of the landfill. Bar-hole probes may be used for identifying and tracking
methane migration plumes, as described in the Contingency Plan section, and as a substitute
monitoring method for damaged or malfunctioning permanent probes.
Prior to conducting bar-hole probing, the area will be checked for any subsurface utilities,
conduits, or pipelines. If water or mud covers the desired probe location, then the probe will be
offset to a nearby dry portion of the permit boundary or temporarily eliminated from the
monitoring round. All precautions shall be taken to eliminate the introduction of moisture into the
9
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Safety
monitoring instrument. Any abnormalities in the probe location will be noted on the field data
form (refer to Appendix 1).
The bar-hole procedure will involve pushing a 1/2-to 3/4-inch diameter metal rod a minimum of
2-3 feet into the subsurface soils. Upon removal of the metal rod, a probe connected to Landtec
GEM 5000 or equivalent will be immediately inserted into the hole and sealed to minimize air
infiltration into the sample. A measurement of the sample, along with other pertinent data, will
be taken and recorded on the field data form located in Appendix 1. Readings from the probe
hole will be taken first with the instrument in the “HIGH” or 0-100 percent methane-in-air range.
If a reading above 5 percent cannot be maintained during evacuation for at least 30 seconds,
then the measurement shall be repeated with the instrument in the “LOW” or 0-5 percent
methane-in-air (0-100 percent of the LEL) range. Upon completion of the monitoring, the probe
hole will be backfilled with native soil.
If concentrations of combustible are measured at or above the LEL, additional bar-hole probes
will be installed to assess the lateral extent of the migration. The additional probes will be placed
in a radial pattern starting at the initial probe location and working in 5-foot increments outward.
The pattern will continue until readings of 0 percent combustible are obtained. Information from
this monitoring procedure will be recorded on graph paper to determine the extent of the
migration. The information will be submitted to NCDEQ in the Semiannual Ground-Water
Monitoring Report. If it is determined that off-site migration exists above the LEL, the
information, along with any proposed mitigation measures, will be submitted in accordance with
the Contingency Plan section of this LGMP.
The bar-hole probe equipment will be maintained between monitoring events. Maintenance
associated with the bar-hole probe monitoring includes ensuring plunger bar is clean and free of
damage.
5.3.3.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN
NCDEQ will be notified that the remediation plan has been implemented.
6.0 Safety
Prior to beginning a monitoring procedure, the landfill technician must understand the potential
dangers associated with landfill gas. Not only is landfill gas explosive, it can also present the
following other hazards.
• Landfill gas may cause asphyxiation through oxygen displacement. Proper procedures
must be followed when entering confined spaces which may be potential receptors of
migrating landfill gas.
• Some of the possible trace contaminants associated with landfill gas, such as hydrogen
sulfide (H2S), are extremely toxic. Technicians must be trained in the indicators of H2S
such as its recognizable odor (rotten egg) at low concentrations.
At a minimum, the following items should be addressed by the technician, in addition to any site-
specific safety procedures to reduce the chance of injury.
10
City of Greensboro | White Street C&D Landfill – Landfill Gas Monitoring Plan Safety
• Be aware of the hazards of landfill gas as mentioned above.
• Practice confined space entry procedures when entering structures that have been
evacuated due to the possible presence of landfill gas in confined space.
• Always practice the “buddy” system (i.e., work with a partner who remains outside of the
area of possible exposure) when monitoring for landfill gas.
• Know where all firefighting equipment (i.e., extinguishers, hoses, etc.) is stored and
ensure that it is well maintained.
• Determine whether additional personal safety equipment is necessary.
• Do not smoke or allow others nearby to smoke while monitoring for landfill gas, or at any
time when near landfill waste.
• Know how the monitoring instruments work and how to operate and calibrate them
properly.
• Determine where all nearby subsurface utilities are prior to bar-hole probing.
• Do not use odor as a primary indicator of landfill gas migration.
• Inform the landfill manager or your supervisor of any possible hazards, no matter how
small they may appear.
