Hill, Jr., M.P.H. - Health Director Nash County Health Department P. O. Box 849 Nashville, NC 27856 RE: Results of Landfill Gas Monitoring – November 2017 Nash County C&D Landfill Nashville, Nash County, North Carolina Permit # 64-03 Dear Mr. Hill: This letter presents the results of landfill gas monitoring conducted at the site referenced above on November 14, 2017. Landfill gas was monitored using a calibrated GEM-2000 landfill gas monitor at the 12 on-site gas monitoring probes. A site map showing the locations of the landfill gas monitoring probes is attached as Figure 1. The results of monitoring at each of the gas monitoring probes are summarized in the attached Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Forms. The landfill gas reading at MM-7 was greater than 100% of the lower explosive limit (LEL). The methane reading at MM-7 was 14.1%. The % LEL and methane reading measured at this gas monitoring probe is indicative of soil gas conditions proximal to an extensive stockpile of land clearing debris, and not believed to be associated with the C&D landfill. Moreover, access to the site in the vicinity of this probe is restricted to trained landfill personnel who are aware of these conditions. Landfill gas and methane were not detected at any of the remaining gas monitoring probes. It is anticipated that methane levels at MM-7 will drop below the LEL with the ongoing removal of the land clearing debris stockpile. The results of the November 2017 landfill gas monitoring are consistent with previous monitoring events completed at the site, including the reading taken at location MM-7. The next quarterly landfill gas monitoring event is scheduled for February 2017. If you have any questions or require further assistance regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at 919-792-1904.

Attach a test location map or drawing. Report methane readings as both % LEL and % CH4 by volume. Convert % CH4 (by volume) to % LEL as follows: % methane (by volume)/20 = % LEL. *Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gas monitoring may be required for Construction & Demolition Landfills (CDLFs).
