Dear Mr. Comrie:
David T. Flaherty, Secretary
There are two matters concerning the Western Carolina University landfill
which need to be brought to your attention:
1. Two feet of final cover needs to be placed over the entire surface of the
Old Jackson County landfill. There is an area presently being used as an
access road by a contractor which does not have 2' of final cover.
2. Numerous tires are located on the bank just below your landfill site. These
tires need to be either removed and properly disposed of or covered in place
with 2' or more of soil.
Please give these matters your immediate attention. The April 15, 1989
extension for having the final cover completed at the Old Jackson County landfill
has not been met. Also, the tire problem was brought to the attention of the
University several months ago and thus far, no corrective action has been taken.
Thank you very much.

Re: Approval of the Proposed Ground -water Monitoring Well Sites for
the Western Carolina University Landfill (Permit #50-01)
Dear Mr. Comrie,
This letter is in reponse to the ground -water monitoring well
proposal that was recently submited to our office by Law Engineering
for the Western Carolina University Landfill. Our office approves
the well locations with the following conditions:
1. Monitoring wells should be set within the permitted area for
the solid waste facility in areas free of garbage, refuse,
or sedimentation. The wells should be placed in the
locations designated on the map recently submitted to our
office.
2. Access roads should be constructed and maintained
ensuring that a clear unobstructed path, free from dense
vegetation, is available for four-wheel drive vehicles
providing access to each well.
3. The wells should be drilled to a depth (and likewise, the
screens placed at vertical locations) that will insure that
future drought conditions,,which may lower the water table,
will not render the monitoring system ineffective. Vertical
placement of the screens should be in the most hydraulically
conductive zones. Remarks on the Well Completion Records
should clearly indicate where the screens are placed, and
why the screens were placed at these depths. It is not
sufficient to merely set the well screens to penetrate the
water table by approximately 10 feet, as proposed in the
plan submitted by Law Engineering.
4. The monitoring wells are to be constructed according,to the
specifications in the "North Carolina Water'Quality
Monitoring Guidance Document for Solid Waste Facilities."

Page 2
5. The monitoring wells should be constructed with a concrete
collar extending at least 3.0 feet below the ground surface
and surrounding the outer casing. (Refer to the "Specific
Monitoring Well Construction Requirements" on pages one
through five of the "North Carolina Water Quality Monitoring
Guidance Document for Solid Waste Facilities".)
Within 15 days of completion of well installation, a complete
and accurate Well Completion Record (DHS 3342) should be submitted to
this office for all ground -water monitoring wells. In addition,
please submit to us a summary of the hydrogeological data accumulated
for the landfill site from the boring operation. Include boring logs
and other pertinent subsurface information. Also, within 15 days of
well installation, designate in writing to this office the name of
the contractor you have chosen to perform your annual ground and
surface water monitoring extractions, and the date on which you plan
to perform your annual sampling.
If you have further questions or comments, please contact our office
at [phone].

Re: Installment of Ground -water Monitoring Wells at the Western
Carolina University Landfill (Permit #50-01)
Dear: Mr. Comrie,
As referenced in the letters from this office dated March 31,
1987 and September 21, 1987, solid waste facilities are required to
construct ground -water monitoring wells and implement a ground and
surface water monitoring program by June 30, 1989. The ground -water
monitoring system should be constructed and implemented in a manner
consistent with the specifications of the "North Carolina Water
Quality Monitoring Guidance Document for Solid Waste Facilities"
(copy enclosed).
In order to comply with these requirements, you will need to
submit a ground -water monitoring plan to this office which contains
the following information:
1. A map (preferably 8 1/2" x 11") delineating the entire
landfill and adjacent property owned (or leased) by you.
This map should clearly show the location of the landfill
with respect to the entire property.
2. A specific site map of the landfill itself
illustrating the configuration of the landfill per the
original permit description. on this map also indicate the
following:
a. Areas of past landfilling activity
b. Area of present landfilling activity

Page 2
- Area of proposed future landfilling activity - --
d. Areas of demolition waste landfilling
e. Proposed monitoring well locations. Each well should
be numbered on the map (e.g. MW-1; MW-2; etc...).
Note: Upon construction, these wells must also be
permanently numbered in a corresponding fashion in the
field..
In designing an acceptable ground -water monitoring system, you
should install at least one upgradient (background) well and a
sufficient number of downgradient monitoring wells at locations which
(based upon topography and known hydrogeological features) are
believed to adequately represent the impact of the landfill on the
groundwater of the area. The screened intervals shall be established
in the most conductive zones based upon field observations of the
material encountered during well boring operations.
Proposed locations for the planned ground -water monitoring wells
should be submitted to our office for approval prior to actual well
drilling operations. Again, it is very important that wells be
installed according to the specifications in the "North Carolina
Water Quality Monitoring Guidance Document for Solid Waste
Facilities". Wells should be set within the permitted area for the
solid waste facility in areas free of garbage, refuse, or
sedimentation. If circumstanc�2s prevent the placing of wells inside
the property boundaries, contact this office for assistance.
Should the landfill be in operation at the time EPA Subtitle "D"
proposed regulations become effective at a future date, additional
hydrogeological information may become necessary to comply with these
regulations. other changes in State or Federal regulations, or
changes in the operation of the landfill may also result in future
