Yadkin County was cited for failure to secure landfill gas monitoring wells with a locking well cap. Ms. Harris stated that, to her knowledge, all landfill gas monitoring wells had been secured with locking caps during the fall of 2018. During this inspection, time only permitted the inspection of one of the wells, MP-8, located approximately 200' north of the scale house along the access roadway. MP-8 had been upgraded to include a locking well cap. An additional inspection will be scheduled to verify compliance of the remaining landfill gas wells. 2. CORRECTIVE MEASURES IN PROGRESS: 15A NCAC 02C .0108(1) states: "All non -water supply wells shall be equipped with a steel outer well casing or flush -mount cover, set in concrete, and other measures sufficient to protect the well from damage by normal site activities."

Ms. Harris stated that, to her knowledge, all landfill gas monitoring wells had been upgraded with steel casings set in concrete during the fall of 2018.

Yadkin County was cited for failing to maintain the integrity of the closed MSW landfill cap. No inspection of the landfill cap was undertaken during this site visit. Ms. Harris stated that most of the required work had been completed, however the wet weather was still posing a problem in some areas. An additional inspection will be scheduled to verify that maintenance was performed to restore the integrity of the landfill cap. 4.

The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit, or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: 1. Ms. Harris stated that repairs and upgrades to the existing landfill gas monitoring wells had been completed in October 2018. Only one well — MP-8 — was observed during this inspection due to time constraints. The well was found to include the required components, including a permanent ID tag and a steel casing with locking lid that was set into concrete. Ms. Harris pointed out that the casing lid had been painted bright orange to make it more visible for equipment operators performing maintenance in the area. See the Status of Past Noted Violations section above for a photo of MP-8 and additional information. 2. A portion of the eastern end of the closed MSW landfill was observed during this inspection. The area of the landfill appeared to be in good condition, and the drainage ditches that direct water from the southeastern slope to the basin located off the southeastern corner of the landfill appeared to be functioning properly. No ponding water or signs of erosion were evident. 3. Ms. Harris stated that most of the cap maintenance had been completed, with the exception of a small area around the toe of the landfill on the southern slope that still needs attention. 4. An additional site visit will take place to observe the remaining landfill gas monitoring wells once site conditions make inspection safe.
