Dear Mr. Lane,
On behalf of Ashe 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

detected in groundwater samples collected at the Ashe County Subtitle D Lined Municipal Solid Waste
Landfill MSWLF. We request a 60 day extension of the deadline (April 7, 2017) so that we may have
additional 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 (919) 772-5393 or by email at
