Subject: Request for Proposal
Monitoring Well Installation
Western Carolina University Landfill
Dear Mr. Perry:
The North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural
Resources, Division of Solid Waste Management, requires
replacement of the upgradient monitoring well (MW-1) at the
University's landfill. The well has been vandalized by
introduction of debris into the two inch PVC riser.
Please submit a proposal for providing professional engineering
services to include all labor, material, travel, etc., for (1)
the installation and development of a new monitoring well and (2)
permanent closure of the vandalized monitoring well.
The new monitoring well should be installed according to the
following instructions:
1. A well construction permit must be obtained from the
Division of Environmental Management.
2. The well is to be constructed according to the
specifications in the North Carolina Water Quality
Monitoring Guidance Document for Solid Waste
Facilities. The well should be drilled to a depth that
will ensure drought conditions will not render the well
ineffective.
3. The well is to be placed within the permitted boundary
of the landfill near the vandalized well to allow
monitoring of the same background area.

4. The well must be thoroughly developed after
construction to reduce suspended solids, flush out the
well and re-establish equilibrium in the aquifer.
A well installation report is required by the North Carolina
-Division --of -Solid-Waste Management within 15 days o-f--wel-
installation. The report must include a complete and accurate
Well Completion Record (DHS 3342) and Typical Schematic, a
summary of hydrogeological data accumulated from the boring
operation, and all boring logs and other pertinent subsurface
information. Groundwater sampling and analyzes are not required.
The existing vandalized monitoring well that is being replaced
shall be permanently abandoned in accordance with the procedures
cited in NCAC Title 15 Subchapter 2C Section .0100, with the
exception that no disinfection is to be done. The well has an
unobstructed depth of 71 feet.
Attached are copies of the site plan and the test boring and
installation record of the vandalized monitoring well for your
use in preparing a proposal.
Please call if you need additional information or would like to
visit the job site.
Sincerely,
Andrew B. Comrie

RE: Replacement of Monitoring Well-1 at the Western Carolina
University Landfill (Permit # 50-01)
Dear Mr. Comrie,
William L. Meyer
Director
Thank you for your assistance during my visit to the Western
Carolina University Landfill on September 17, 1992. As per our
discussion, the Solid Waste Section requests the replacement of
monitoring well # 1. It apparently has been vandalized by the
introduction of debris into the well casing. Well completion records
in our files indicate the well is 90 feet deep, however, our field
measurements gave an unobstructed depth of only 71 feet from the top
of the inner well casing. This the only upgradient well and the
landfill will have to be monitored post closure. The replacement well
should be installed according to the following conditions:
1. The well is to be placed within the permitted boundary of
the facility in an area free of garbage, refuse, or debris.
The location should allow for the monitoring of the same
area as the replaced well.
2. The well should be drilled to a depth (and likewise, the
screen placed at a vertical location) that will insure that
future drought conditions, which may lower the water table,
will not render the well ineffective. The top of the well
screen should be placed just above the level of the seasonal
high water table.
3. The well is to be constructed according the the
specifications in the "North Carolina Water Quality
Monitoring Guidance Document for Solid Waste Facilities" as
illustrated by the "Typical Monitoring Well Schematic" that
is enclosed.

4. The screen should be a maximum of 15 feet in length. The
sand pack should extend no more than 2 feet above the
screen. A bentonite seal of at least 1.0 foot should be-- -
installed above the screened interval.
5. Well construction permits must be obtained from the Division
of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section.
6. The well must be thoroughly developed after construction in
order to reduce the suspended solids, flush out the well and
-_re—establish equi-librium in the aquifer. -
Within 15 days of completion of the well installation, a
complete and accurate Well Completion Record (DHS 3342) and Typical
Schematic should be submitted to this office. In addition, please
provide a summary of the hydrogeological data accumulated from the
boring operation. Include all boring logs and other pertinent
subsurface information.
The existing damaged well that is to be replaced should be
permanently abandoned according to the procedures cited in NCAC
Title 15 Subchapter 2C Section .0100, with the exception that no
disinfection is to be done.
If you have any questions, please call this office at (919)
