OCTOBER 2014
1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Nine monitoring wells and two stream locations at the Rutherford County South Landfill were
sampled on October 2, 2015. One monitoring well (8102-MW-3) was dry on the date that samples
were collected. All sampling was conducted according to North Carolina Solid Waste
Management Guidelines. The samples were submitted to a North Carolina certified laboratory and
tested for the Federal Appendix I list of volatile organic constituents for detection monitoring and
the eight RCRA metals.
Results from nine monitoring well sample analyses show that the concentrations of four RCRA
metals (arsenic in 8102-MW-2A; barium in 8102-MW-7; chromium in 8102-MW-1, 8102-MW-2A,
8102-MW-4A, 8102-MW-5, 8102-MW-7 and 8102-MW-8; and lead in 8102-MW-1, 8102-MW-5,
8102-MW-7, and 8102-MW-8) exceeded the 15A NCAC 2L (2L) Standard for Class GA
groundwater on the date that the samples were collected. Barium, cadmium, chromium, lead,
mercury, and selenium were detected in one or more of the monitoring well samples at
concentrations that did not exceed the 2L Standards.
Results from the nine monitoring well sample analyses show that the concentrations of four
Appendix I volatile organic constituents (1,1-dichloroethane in 8102-MW-1, 8102-MW-5, and
8102-MW-8; benzene in 8102-MW-1 and 8102-MW-6; methylene chloride in 8102-MW-1; and
vinyl chloride in 8102-MW-1, 8102-MW-2A, 8102-MW-5, and 8102-MW-6) exceeded the 2L
Standards on the date that the samples were collected. Eighteen Appendix I volatile organic
constituents (1,1,1-trichloroethane; 1,1-dichloroethane; 1,1-dichloroethene; 1,2-dichlorobenzene;
1,2-dichloroethane; 1,4-diclorobenzene; benzene; carbon disulfide; chlorobenzene; chloroethane;
chloroform; cis-1,2-dichloroethene; ethylbenzene; methylene chloride; tetrachloroethene; toluene;
total xylenes; and trichloroethene) were detected in one or more of the monitoring well samples at
concentrations that did not exceed the 2L or NC Groundwater Protection (NCGP) Standards.
October 2015 Sampling Report January 22, 2016 Rutherford County South Landfill Page 1
No RCRA metals were detected at concentrations that exceeded the 15A NCAC 2B Standard for
Class B/C Surface Waters (2B) in the surface water samples collected from the creek that flows
along the northeast boundary of the landfill property. One RCRA metal that does not have an
established 2B standard (barium) was detected in both surface water samples. Two RCRA metals
(chromium in 8102-SW-1 and lead in 8102-SW-2) were detected in both surface water samples at
concentrations below the 2B Standards. One Appendix I volatile organic constituent that does not
have an established 2B Standard (chloroethane) was detected in 8102-SW-2 at a concentration
below the Solid Waste Section limit.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
Scarlett Geophysical Consulting, P.C. (SGC) was contracted by Rutherford County, North
Carolina, to sample the ground and surface water at ten monitoring wells and two surface water
locations on or adjacent to the South Landfill property. The site location is shown on Figure 1.
3.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work for this sampling event was to sample ten monitoring wells and two stream
locations for Federal Appendix I volatile organic constituents as listed in 40 CFR, Part 258, and the
eight RCRA metals, and to prepare and submit reports to the client and NC Division of Solid
Waste Management documenting the sample collection procedures and analytical results.
4.0 METHODS EMPLOYED
4.1 Monitoring Well Sampling
Groundwater sampling took place on October 2, 2015. Water levels were measured in each well to
provide data for water volume calculations (Table 1). The wells were then purged by removing a
minimum of three well volumes or bailing the wells dry prior to obtaining water samples. The
water samples were collected using properly decontaminated Teflon bailers. Immediately upon
collection, the water samples were field tested for temperature, specific conductance, and pH.
October 2015 Sampling Report January 22, 2016 Rutherford County South Landfill Page 2
These data are summarized in Table 2. Field data sheets are included as Appendix A. Samples
were placed in laboratory cleaned and supplied containers, packed on ice, and placed under chain-
of-custody. Samples were shipped to the laboratory under chain-of-custody upon completion of
the field work. Analyses were conducted by Research & Analytical Laboratories, Inc., a North
Carolina certified laboratory. The monitoring well locations are shown on Figure 2.
4.2 Stream Sampling
Surface water sampling took place on October 2, 2015. Samples 8102-SW-1 and 8102-SW-2 were
collected from a stream that flows southeastward along the northeast boundary of the South
Landfill property. This stream flows into the Second Broad River, which bounds the landfill to the
east. All stream samples were analyzed for the same parameters as the ground water samples. The
stream sample locations are shown on Figure 2.
5.0 RESULTS
The results of the laboratory analyses are summarized in Tables 3 and 4, and the complete
laboratory reports are included as Appendix B.

The volatile organic constituents present in the groundwater samples are likely due to past waste
disposal; however, contributions by ongoing farming activities immediately north and south of the
old property boundaries and vehicles involved in active maintenance of the landfill cover cannot be
ruled out. Groundwater flow direction data indicate that all groundwater from the disposal area is
intercepted by perennial streams to the north, south, and east. There is no evidence indicating that
volatile organic constituent concentrations resulting from waste disposal at South Landfill
currently exceed the 2L or NCGP Standards at locations beyond the property boundaries. The
interval since the last waste disposal suggests that significant impacts on groundwater
contamination from the source area are unlikely to increase in the future.
The inorganic constituents present in the groundwater samples may be influenced by past waste
disposal, but it is likely that local geology has an impact. 8102-MW-4A, which is upgradient from
the waste disposal area (see Figure 2), shows minimal volatile organic impact, yet historically has
shown inorganic constituent concentrations similar to those in the downgradient monitoring wells.
The presence of measurable concentrations of barium, chromium, and lead in the upgradient
surface water sample for this event in addition to cadmium, chromium, mercury, and selenium
during prior events suggests the likely influence of contributions from off site sources (local
geological and/or cultural).
5.2 Surface Water
The surface water sample analyses did not reveal any constituents with concentrations above the
2B Standard. This analytical result is listed below and shown in the Notification Table (Table 5).
