ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The site is a former industrial landfill that operated under Permit No. 1102-INDUS-1980. A Letter of Closure for the
BASF Industrial Landfill was issued for Permit No. 1102-INDUS-1980 on March 13, 2006. During post -closure of the
site, the facility coordinated with the NC Brownfields Program to redevelop portions of the closed landfill under NC
Brownfields Project No. 15011-11-11. Since the previous Section inspection, ongoing construction and maintenance of
the Bob Lewis Ballpark complex was observed on portions of the closed landfill site (PIN 961764308400000), which is
currently owned by the Enka Youth Sports Organization, Inc. Additionally, during this inspection, grading and
construction activities were observed on parcels directly adjacent to the Brownfields Project.
ISSUES RELATED TO NC BROWNFIELDS PROJECT NO. 15011-11-11, CLOSED BASF LANDFILL:
2. The site -wide Groundwater and Surface Water monitoring network currently includes 2 monitoring wells (MW-4R &
MW-5) and 2 surface water sampling locations (SW-1 & DW-2) that serve to monitor the closed industrial landfill.
Additionally, the site -wide landfill gas (LFG) monitoring system currently includes 9 monitoring wells (LG-2 through LG-
10) that serve to function as a methane monitoring system for the closed industrial landfill. During this inspection,
monitoring wells MW-5 and LG-1 could not be located, monitoring well LG-4 could not be accessed due to bees and
vegetation, monitoring well LG-10 had fill placed around it and appeared to have been extended (photo #1), and monitoring
wells LG-10 and LG-7 were not locked (photos #1 & #2). As stated in the Annual Monitoring Report to the Section dated
December 3, 2021 (FID 1626390), "LG-1 was destroyed at an unknown time by road construction activities performed
between March and June 2019. Neither BASF or ELMSS were contacted regarding this incident." As confirmed post -
inspection with BASF's consultant ELM Site Solutions, Inc. (ELMSS), MW-5 was located and sampled during the Spring
2022 sampling event at the site, but the well was surrounded by heavy vegetation. BASF should maintain the locks on
monitoring wells LG-7 and LG-10, but it appears no additional action is required by BASF at this time. Enka Youth Sports
Organization, Inc. should continue to coordinate with the NC Brownfields Program regarding the environmental monitoring
well network and status at the site.

3. Since the previous inspection, it appeared additional fill material had been placed on the northwestern side of the site,
behind Ballfield #1 (photos #3 & #4). Please ensure this area is stabilized as necessary to prevent erosion.

on northwestern side of site.

4. Since the previous inspection, construction was observed on parcels adjacent to the Brownfields Project (photos #5 &
#6). Enka Youth Sports Organization, Inc. should continue to coordinate with the NC Brownfields Program to ensure
the redevelopment project is not impacted from ongoing, nearby construction activity.
5 & 6. Eastern view of road construction observed on parcel adjacent to the site. Note: road construction was observed
between environmental monitoring wells LG-3 and MW-4R during this inspection.

5. During this inspection, some Edge-of-Waste(EOW)/Landfill Boundary markers were observed on -site. Continue to
maintain EOW markers at the site as necessary.
6. Copies of this report are being sent to BASF, the property owner, and the NC Brownfields Program. The Solid Waste
Section will also follow-up directly with Brownfields' Program staff to ensure any corrective action noted in this report
needed to maintain compliance at this facility, is addressed.
OTHER LANDFILL COMMENTS:
7. Access to the site is located off Jacob Holm Way at 5 Walk Off Way in Enka, NC. The ballfields and parking lot are
controlled by fencing and a lockable gate.
8. Since the previous inspection, the facility requested and was approved (FID 1469228) to monitor groundwater and
surface water on an annual basis and to monitor LFG on a semi-annual basis, beginning in 2021. The most recent
facility Annual Monitoring Report is dated December 3, 2021 (FID 1626390). Previous monitoring reports for the
facility were also available for review. As required, continue to monitor all groundwater, surface water, and LFG
sampling locations at the facility and submit reports to the Section. Also, continue to maintain access for all
environmental monitoring locations at the site as necessary.
9. No LFG exceedances were noted in the Annual Monitoring Report dated December 3, 2021.
10. Landfill cap and slope mowing maintenance efforts were observed during this inspection. Continue to maintain the
integrity and effectiveness of the final cover system at the site. Small shrubs and trees on landfill slopes should be
removed during mowing events at the site (photos #7 & #8). After mowing events occur at the facility, continue to
ensure the landfill cap is inspected for potential impounded water, subsidence/differential settling, cracking, signs of
erosion or damage, and that any necessary repairs are made in a timely manner.

eastern side of site. Note: No EOW markers observed in
this area.
11. During this inspection, an eroded area/gulley was observed behind the scoreboard of Ballfield #1, on the upper slope
in this area (photos #9 & #10). Rip -rap was observed in the eroded gulley. Continue to maintain the slope in this area as
necessary.
