Staff Professional SIGNATi1R TITLE Environmental Consulting & Contracting June 30, 2020 File No. 02199312.07-1 Mr. Lee Squires, P.E. Facility Manager Wake County Solid Waste Management Division PO Box 550 Raleigh, NC 27602 Subject: Second Quarter Landfill Gas Monitoring Event - June 24, 2020 North Wake County Landfill - Wake County, North Carolina Dear Lee: SCS Engineers, PC (SCS) is pleased to submit the results of the Second Quarter Landfill Gas (LFG) Monitoring Event for 2020, performed at the North Wake County Landfill (Permit No. 92-09) on June 24, 2020. The monitoring was performed in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B.1626(4) at the compliance boundary monitoring probes and on -site structures at the facility. At the facility property boundary, the concentration of methane gas is not to exceed the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) which is 5 percent by volume (50,000 ppmv). Inside facility structures, the concentration of methane gas is not to exceed 25 percent of the LEL (equivalent to 12,500 ppmv). At each boundary compliance monitoring probe, SCS recorded the subsurface landfill gas (LFG) composition (i.e., concentrations of methane, carbon dioxide, and oxygen) and pressure using a GEM-5000 Infrared Gas Analyzer. Measurements inside facility structures were obtained at critical locations such as conduit penetrations, junction boxes, floor drains, etc. using a Sensit Model No. HXG-3P. The results of the boundary compliance probe and on -site structure monitoring are attached as Exhibit 1. An executed copy of the NC Division of Waste Management - Solid Waste Section, Landfill Gas Monitoring Data Form, documenting this event is also attached for your facility records. Monitoring was conducted at a total of 26 LFG monitoring probes and 4 on -site structures on June 24, 2020. Monitoring of the on -site structures did not record measurable methane concentrations above the instrument detection level, which is below the regulatory limit. One LFG monitoring probe at the Landfill (probe M-6R) exhibited methane concentrations greater than the regulatory compliance threshold of 5.0 percent. Probe M-6R is located on the eastern side of the closed, unlined cell. Upon detection, SCS immediately notified the County and all necessary steps were taken to ensure protection of human health. It should be noted that no occupied structures are in proximity to monitoring probe M-61R. SCS conducted monitoring of the nearby perimeter migration and control system wells and noted that the system was operating under normal conditions. On June 25, 2020, Wake County personnel informed SCS that after several minutes of continued pumping of probe M-6R with the gas analyzer, a reading below the compliance threshold was recorded. NCDEQ was notified of this exceedance via electronic mail on June 25, 2020. 15521 Midlothian Turnpike, Suite 305, Midlothian, VA 23113 1 804-378-7440 ;ot Mr. Lee Squires June 30, 2020 Page 2 As required by 15A NCAC 13B Section .1626(4)(c)(iii), the Facility has implemented a LFG Remediation Plan, most recently updated on July 12, 2007. In accordance with the plan, the frequency for monitoring the impacted LFG probe (M-613) will be monthly and will continue until such time that the probe has demonstrated compliant methane concentrations for three consecutive months. At that time, the monitoring on the probe will revert back to a quarterly basis. Since operational adjustments will be made to increase the LFG perimeter migration control system effectiveness in accordance with the current LFG Remediation Plan, the County and SCS believe that an update to the plan is not necessary at this time. However, if additional remediation efforts are warranted based on subsequent monitoring results, the County will revisit the requirements to update the existing LFG Remediation Plan. Note that placing this letter report into the operating record satisfies the requirements of 15A NCAC 13B Section .1626(4)(c)(ii). SCS will coordinate with the County to conduct the monthly monitoring at probe M-6R and will notify Wake County of the proposed schedule for the Third Quarter LFG compliance boundary probe monitoring event for 2020 (to be performed prior to September 30, 2020). Please contact either of the undersigned if you have questions or require additional information. Sincerely, j4':� �' Jacob D.
