Dear Ervin;
Attached are copies of the Stormwater Discharge Outfall Monitoring Report and Laboratory Report for the
Rockingham County Landfill for the period January 1, 2017 thru June 30, 2017. The DMR and lab report are
attached as an Adobe PDF, one is titled in SWS format, for submission to you as I was instructed. Another copy
is attached with the Certificate of Coverage Number, NCG120055 from the DMR for submission to the DWQ if
required. Please respond if you are accepting the electronic DMR submittal, or if additional action is required.
Any current guidance or contacts you may provide are greatly appreciated!
The Results of the Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Report indicate Total Suspended Solids (TSS) were
detected above the benchmark concentration at outfall number SDO-3. A benchmark exceedance triggers a Tier
1 requirement.
The Rockingham County Landfill has been implementing a Tier 1 response due to the detections of TSS in SDO-
1 and Fecal Coliform above benchmark concentrations during the previous monitoring period (second
semiannual 2016). There was not an exceedance of TSS or Fecal Coliform benchmarks during the first
semiannual monitoring of 2017, however; due to the TSS exceedance from SDO-3 during the first half of 2017,
maintaining a Tier 1 response is appropriate. If I can provide any additional information please do not hesitate
to contact me or Alex Everhart at [phone].

Dan Girdner

' Monthly sampling (instead of semi-annual) must begin with the second consecutive benchmark exceedance for the same parameter at the same outfall.
z For sampling periods with no discharge at any single outfall, you must still submit this discharge monitoring report with a checkmark here.
3The total precipitation must be recorded using data from an on -site rain gauge. Unattended sites may he eligible for a waiver of the rain gauge requirement.
See General Permit text, Table 3, identifying the especially sensitive receiving water classifications where the more protective benchmark applies.
Note: Results must be reported in numerical format. For example, do not report Below Detection Limit, BDL, <PQL, Non -detect, ND, or other similar non -
numerical format. When results are below the applicable limits, they must be reported in the format. "<)IX n1k/L", where XX is the numerical value of the
detection limit, reporting limit, etc. in mg/L. Conversely, where fecal coliform results exceed the dilution upper limit, report the result as ">XX"
Note. if you report a sample value in excess of the benchmark, you must implement Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 responses. See General Permit text.

RE: Rockingham County Landfill — General Permit No. NCG120055
Second Semiannual Stormwater Monitoring Results of 2011
Gentlemen:
Attached are the original, plus one, copy of the Stormwater Discharge Outfall Monitoring
Report for the Rockingham County Landfill for the period July 1, 2011 thru December
31, 2011. The analytical monitoring results indicate Total. Suspended Solids (TTS) were
detected above benchmark concentrations at outfall numbers SDO-I, SDO-2 and SDO-3
and Fecal Coliform was detected above the benchmark concentrations at outfall numbers
SDO-1, SDO-3, and SDO-4. It should be noted that the November 16th rain event was
one of three major rain events occurring at the landfill within a 35 day period in which
total rainfall exceeded 7.1 inches and resulted in three of the basins not fully draining
thus creating the presence of stagnant water. We suspect this stagnated water contributed
to the elevated levels of Fecal Coliform from wildlife and plant material while elevated
levels of TSS were expected due to recent construction of the landfill gas collection
system and slope modifications.
The Rockingham County Landfill has begun implementing Tier I responses due to the
detection of TTS and Fecal Coliform above benchmark concentrations. If I can provide
any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
