Inspection at Western Carolina University Landfill Site for
Closure of Old Jackson County Landfill (Permit #51-01) and!
Closure Inspection at Old Tire Disposal Area Located on the
Bank Below Western Carolina University Disposal Area.
I inspected the old Jackson County Landfill site located on SR 1336 near
Cu llowhee on September 12, 1990, for proper closure. The disposal area is
immediately in back of the disposal area presently being operated by Western
Carolina University. I found the old disposal area to be covered with 2 feet or
more soil and stabilized with grass.
The tire disposal area located down gradient from the Western Carolina University
disposal area was also properly closed out and stabilized with vegetation. The
small stream at the bottom of the tire disposal area has been relocated, so as
to keep separated from water. Western Carolina University has done an excellent
job closing out the tire site.
The permit #50-01 which was originally assigned to Jackson County has been
transferred to Western Carolina University. This is the permit number Western
Carolina is currently operating under, so we need to make sure only the old
Jackson County area is specified as being closed out.
Please let me know if further information is needed.

Richard-K. Rowe
Division Director
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22(a) and to 10 NCAD 10G, I conducted an inspection on
May 22, 1990 of the Western Carolina University Landfill, Permit #50-01, located
in Jackson County on State Road 1336 near Cullowhee, North Carolina. The
inspection found the Western Carolina University Landfill to be in violation of
certain requirements contained the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules,
codified at 10 NCAC 10G specifically:
1. 10 NCAC 10G.0505(1)(a) requires that construction plans shall be
approved and followed. The Western Carolina University Landfill was
operating in violation of 10 NCAC 10G.0505(1)(a) in that final
elevations for the waste disposal area as indicated on the approved
landfill, construction plans have been exceeded.
An Equal Upportuniry Affirmative Action Fmrloyer

1. Comply with 10 NCAC 10G.0505(1)(a) by submitting for approval to the

RE: Amendment to Permit #50-01, Vertical Expansion Western Carolina
University Landfill, Jackson County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Comrie:
The enclosed Amendment to Permit for the referenced facility is
approved in accordance with G.S. 130A-294, subject to the conditions
of the Permit.
Please note General Condition No. 1 which states that
modifications of this permit may be required in accordance with
upcoming revisions to the Solid Waste Management Rules and revised
EPA Subtitle D criteria. Modifications to the construction and
operational plans or even closure of this landfill may be required
before the permit period expires. The Conditions of this Permit
supersede any conditions issued heretofore. This amendment provides
a planning period, which the University should use to develop a
comprehensive solid waste management plan.
As per our conversation, requirements of the Solid Waste
Management Rules (10 NCAC 10G .0504 (1) (c) (F)), remolded sample
cover data for saturated hydraulic conductivity, total porosity, and
atterberg limits shall be submitted with the upcoming ground and
surface water sampling. The least permeable soil shall be
stockpiled for final cover.
Please note Construction and Operational Condition No. 2 which
states that all sedimentation/erosion control activities be
conducted in accordance with the Sedimentation Control Act (15 NCAC
4). Enclosed is the letter of approval from the Land Quality
Section.

OPERATION REPORT
WCU LANDFILL VERTICAL EXPANSION
Project No. 90138
The following is a report describing the orderly operation and
development of the We Carolina Universit, Sanitary Landfill.
The University is responsible for the operati..: n and maintenance of
the site. The landfill currently owns and operates one tracked
loader and asheeps footr_oller. Properly maintained, this machinery_
is adequate to operate this vertically expanded landfill site.
It is estimated that from the proposed landfill and borrow area
13,540 cubic yards of borrow material will be required to process
17,960 cubic yards of waste including final cover. This is based
upon 3:1 trash to fill ratio. The volume of borrow is sufficient for
the estimated life of the landfill. Assuming 2,700 cubic yards of
trash material handled per year, the landfill can be expected to
operate 5.0 years before reaching completion.
The method of orderly operation and development of the landfill is as
follows:
1. Clean existing silt basins.
2. Perform temporary seeding on all denuded areas except for
immediate work ar! � s .
3. Construct proposed riprap drains to preset level.
4. Commence fill operation of cells beginning at toe of present
operation and working upward. Completed work areas shall
receive temporary seeding as they are closed out.
5. Install additional riprap for drainage when level of landfill
reaches terraced areas and lower work areas are closed out.
Slope terraced areas to drain to riprap drains. Keep equipment
away from closed out areas to prevent damage to slope drains.
6. Maintain all erosion control devices, both new and existing
during construction and operation of the landfill.
7. At closeout of landfill provide 2 foot compacted cover and seed
all bare areas.
No additional :~_Dn'_ wells are anticipated because '_'i.G'a are
presently 3 functionir monitoring wells on site.
