Landfill Closure (Permit No. 50-01)
Dear Ms. McHargue:
The University will cease solid waste disposal activities at its
landfill on October 5, 1993. However, the landfill facility will
continue to be used as a collection site for solid waste
generated by the University. The solid waste will be collected
in 40 cubic yard containers rented from and hauled away by a
solid waste collector.
A closure plan is being developed by Jensen Engineering and will
include the siting of a convenience facility for placement of 40
cubic yard containers for deposit of University generated wastes.
As an interim, we request temporary approval to continue use of
the landfill facility for a waste management activity.
The following information is provided in accordance with DEHNR
memo updated August 1, 1993, page 5:
A. The solid waste is generated by activities in administrative,
academic, dormitory and cafeteria facilities. It also includes
litter that is collected around the campus. The collected waste
will be disposed of at a permitted MSWLF. A request for
proposals will be opened on October 1, 1993. We anticipate the
contract hauler will utilize Jackson County's landfill.
B. The location of the convenience facility is shown on the
attached plan.
C. No other waste management activities are planned for the
landfill facility. Recycling/product separation is accomplished
at the source.

Re: Implementation Of Subtitle 'D' Ground -water Monitoring Program
Dear Mr. Comrie,
The purpose of this correspondence is to provide information and
clarification on the changes in ground -water monitoring requirements
for MSWLF facilities that remain in operation after October 9, 1993.
The proposed North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules reflect
significant changes for ground -water monitoring based on requirements
of the E.P.A. Subtitle D Rules.
Attachment A to this letter provides a summary of important
dates and significant activities that must be accomplished in order
to be in compliance with the new rules. Attachment B contrasts
existing and proposed ground -water monitoring and assessment
requirements based on changes in the rules. Because of significant
increases in costs that will be incurred in order to operate a MSWLF
under the new Subtitle D Rules, including financial assurance and
increased costs for ground -water monitoring and assessment, you may
wish to seriously consider closing your sanitary landfill prior to
October 9,1993, when the new rules become effective.
When the new rules take effect, MSWLF facilities that have
violations of the North Carolina Groundwater Quality Standards or
facilities that show a significant statistical increase in the level
of any Appendix I constituent will quickly be required to implement
assessment monitoring for all Appendix II constituents. Since the
Groundwater Quality Standards are also used in establishing the
ground -water protection standards, MSWLF facilities with violations
may also rapidly move into assessment of corrective action
alternatives based on a full-scale ground -water investigation to
determine the nature and extent of contamination at the site.

RE: Wastewater Treatment,Plant Sludge Generated at
Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC (Jackson Co.)
Dear Mr. Brookhart:
I have visited the Western Carolina University Water Treatment Plant and inspected
the sludge generated from the sludge dewatering system. This sludge is not dry enough as
it comes out of the system to place directly into a sanitary landfill. All sludges must pass the
"Paint Filter Test" before they can be landfilled.
As a matter of policy, the Solid Waste Section does not require a waste determination
be completed for alum sludges from water treatment plants; therefore, no analysis of the
sludge will be required other than the paint filter test mentioned above.
Sincerely,
9James E. Patterson
