Re: Extension Request for Alternative Source Demonstration-Metals
Cherokee County Subtitle D Lined MSWLF
Permit No. 20-02

Dear Mr. Lane,
On behalf of Cherokee County, Municipal Engineering Services Company, P.A. (MESCO) intends to
submit an Alternative Source Demonstration (ASD) in fulfillment of the request outlined in a letter issued
by the NC Solid Waste Section (SWS) dated August 8, 2016 (DIN:26547). The ASD will address metals
detected in groundwater samples collected at the Cherokee County Subtitle D Lined Municipal Solid
Waste Landfill MSWLF. We request an extension of the deadline beyond 90 days (November 6, 2016)
so that we may have time to determine if the lines of evidence we plan to present is acceptable to the
SWS and in doing so expedite the process. Please respond in writing so we can plan accordingly. If you
have any questions or need any additional details please contact us at [phone] or by email at
[e-mail] or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING SERVICES CO., P.A.
