RE: Burke County, East Burke Landfill,
Permit Number 12-02
Landfill Gas Monitoring Report – First Quarter 2017
Project No. 2180009, Phase 04

Dear Mr. Hollifield;

On behalf of Burke County, North Carolina, Joyce Engineering (JOYCE) is submitting the
attached methane monitoring results for East Burke Landfill, Permit Number 12-02. The 2018 first
quarter landfill gas monitoring event was performed on March 7, 2018.

During this event. JOYCE monitored seven gas probes (GP-1, GP-1B, GP-2, GP-3, GP-4, GP-5,
and GP-6). The approximate locations of the gas probes are depicted in Drawing 1. The monitoring
data for the gas probes and buildings are summarized in the attached Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Log.
Methane was detected above the lower explosive limit (LEL) in gas probes GP-1, GP-3, and GP-4.
Note that GP-1B is located between GP-1 and the property boundary and showed methane at only 0.2%.
No exceedances were recorded for any of the other probes. These results are consistent with previous
results and are summarized in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively.

We have included an EMRF and will forward a copy of this report to Jaclynne Drummond with
the NCDEQ Solid Waste Section. This report should be added to the facility’s records. The next
quarterly monitoring event is tentatively scheduled for the second quarter of 2018. If we can provide
any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone].

Sincerely,
JOYCE ENGINEERING
