The order of presentation in no way reflects a priority or order of importance in the task force findings and recommendations. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS A very brief summary of key points presented in the participants memorandums is presented as follows. The complete memoranda are attached for further information and details. Division of Environmental Manaciement, Water Quality Section • No impact to water quality is anticipated with anticipated construction and management practices. Town of Andrews wastewater treatment plan has sufficient capacity to treat anticipated leachate quantities. • Leachate holding and pretreatment facilities should be constructed. • OMC pump station capacity should be evaluated and modified if necessary. • Plans and specifications for sewer lines, pump stations, and pretreatment facilities require review by Agency and issuance of non -discharge permit. • Valley River and Hyatt Creek are Class C trout streams. Un-named tributaries carry the same classification. 50 foot setbacks are required for these streams. 'Division of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section • Site deserves further consideration for location of a landfill facility. - - Tri-County Solid waste Management Authority -_ Landfill Site Task Force Evaluation - - - Page 3 Division -of Environmental Health, Public Water Supply 0 No comments at this time. Would like opportunity to review design, site, and geologic data as it becomes available. Division of Solid Waste Management, Solid Waste Section - H-ydrogeology • Ground water flow direction, flow rate, and on -site discharge point(s) must be determined. • Owner/operator control of on -site discharge point(s) is essential for monitoring and potential remediation. • Based on topography, Valley River is most probable discharge point. • Based on topography, probable good hydrologic control of site. • 300 foot buffers are required at property boundaries including the streams that form the property boundary on three sides. In addition, due to the trout stream classification, the interior tributary streams may warrent additional buffer protection. • Site has desirable characteristics and deserves additional consideration. Division of Solid Waste Management. Solid Waste Section - Operations • Good central #ocation for anticipated service area. • Good highway access. 0 Topography of cell area should cause no construction or development problems. • Five homes are located approximately 1,000 feet from landfill. Any potential impact appears to be limited to visual. • Site can be developed to limit visibility from Highway 19-129/74. • Site is approximately 1 1,000 feet from the Cherokee County Airport. Expansion of airport could have regulatory impact. Site has close proximity to sewer treatment facilities. • Site has good points and merits further consideration. Tri-County Solid Waste Management Authority Landfill Site Task Force Evaluation Page 4 Division of Forest Resources • Little timber value on the area. • Site contains fields, low quality mixed hardwoods, scattered pines. • Development of site would not adversely effect present timber production potential of the area. • Recommend salvaging any pulpwood or saw timber during construction. • Prevent sedimentation and construction damage to forest land outside the construction limits. • Avoid skinning of trees, soil compaction and root exposure or injury, adding fill dirt over root systems, petroleum or other damaging substances. • Debris burning will require a permit. • Practice fire protection: Maintain sufficient exposed mineral soil when burning, Have competent fire watchmen present during burning. Ensure machinery is in good working order with exhaust systems that will prevent starting fires. Take precautions with winter warming fires. Avoid smoke management problems when burning. Wildlife Resources Commission • Protection of fishery resources of Valley River is a major concern. • Valley River is designates as hatchery -supported trout waters and is regularly stocked with trout. • . Prevent siltation of waters. • Recommend minimum of 100 foot undisturbed (natural vegetation) buffers on streams. 0 Immediately remedy any erosion problems during construction. Tri-County Solid Waste Management Authority Landfill Site Task Force Evaluation Page 5 Establish permanent seeding of any disturbed land or overburden storage areas which would remain exposed for extended periods. • Bear harvests are recorded in nearby Parsons Branch and Vengeance Creek watersheds. • Cover any waste as soon as is possible to prevent attracting occasional bears and to prevent concentrations of scavenging birds. Department of Cultural Resources. Division of Archives • No comment on project as currently proposed. • Floodplain area are potential significant archaeological resource areas. Division of Parks and Recreation- Natural Heritage Program • Review of records indicate finding a Significantly Rare Plant (Frasera caroliniensis) nearby. • List of rare species found in Cherokee County is enclosed. CONCLUSIONS The overall view of the Task Force participants is that there does not appear to exist any specific feature or features that would prohibit the selection of this site for a municipal solid waste landfill. The Solid Waste Section concludes that further consideration of this site is warranted. This conclusion does not constitute site approval. Site approval is dependent upon a full review of a comprehensive site study. The observations resulting from this Task Force were limited in scope. A full site analysis must be undertaken to fully ascertain the characteristics of the site. The comments of the various Agencies are intended to assist in developing a site and construction plan that will minimize potential impacts to the environment and public health. The Tri-County Authority is encouraged to take into consideration the comments and suggestions presented in the accompanying memoranda. Most of the suggestions and findings should be addressed during the site approval process. There are some items, such as fire protection/prevention and bear attraction management plans, that are more appropriate for inclusion in a construction permit application. Due to the close proximity of the Cherokee Airport, and the intent of the airport proximity rules, the site application must demonstrate that landfill units will not be within 10,000 feet of runways used by turbine powered craft. A Tri-County Solid Waste Management Authority Landfill Site Task Force Evaluation -Page 6 - Site approval and any subsequent permits are subject to the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules, 15A NCAC 13B Section .1600. More specifically, Section .1603(a)(1), New Facility. Site approval process and rules are contained in Section .1618. Please note that a public meeting informing the local community is required prior to obtaining local government approval for a solid waste landfill 1.1618(c)(5)(A)(i)]. Notify the Solid Waste Section, through the Regional Waste Management Specialist, Mr. Jim Patterson, of the date, time, and location of the public meeting as soon as it is scheduled. The Tri-County Solid Waste Management Authority is reminded of the following milestone dates contained in our correspondence of September 21, 1993: Submittal of Permit Application for a Lined MSWLF Unit April 9, 1994 Commence operation of Lined MSWLF Unit and Closure of Existing Unit October 9, 1996 If construction and approval for operation of a lined unit cannot be meet on or before October 9, 1996, the Existing Unit must be closed and solid waste disposed of in an approved, permitted lined facility. The site approval application should thoroughly address and document all items required in the Site Study rules. Complete hydrogeologic study and characterization of the site is of vital importance in approving any site for a disposal facility. Clear presentation and documentation in the application will help facilitate and expedite the review process. The Section looks forward to working with the Authority on the permitting of a lined facility. Should the Authority have any questions, or if the Section can provide any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the Regional Waste Management Specialist, Jim Patterson at (704) 251-6452, the Raleigh permitting staff, Bobby Lutfy or Bill Sessoms at (919) 733-0692, or the Western Area Supervisor and Engineer, Julian Foscue and Jan McHargue at (910) 896- 7007. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Solid Waste Section and participating Task Force members appreciate the opportunity the Tri-County Authority has given to allow planning input and evaluation. The Solid Waste Section would also like to thank the Task Force participants for their efforts. Time and resource limitations at many Agencies often make it difficult provide the level of service and assistance that is desirable. The Section was very pleased with the evaluations and efforts put forth during this effort. In addition, scheduling conflicts are often difficult to overcome.when planning a site visit and evaluation. The Section would like to thank the participants for the cooperation received in scheduling this site visit and for the rapid evaluation response time.

West Division of Envir al Kerry S. Becker 4 s Water Quality Section Management E i' L D - 7 yr„ Cherokee County Regional Landfill Comments U.S. Hwy 64 Site Based on the described management and construction practices to be used, no impact to water quality is anticipated with respect to proposed site located adjacent to the current Cherokee landfill and U.S. Hwy 64 Bypass. As proposed, the leachate will be c6llected and pumped to the Town of Andrew's wastewater treatment facility. This facility is permitted for a maximum monthly average flow of 1.5 MGD with current monthly average flows of 0.65 MGD. The Town has adequate capacity to accept the landfill leachate, however, you should be aware that the Town's wastewater treatment plant and collection system has and is currently experiencing problems. Some of the problems relate to staffing, i.e., inadequate operation and maintenance of the facility, insufficient pumping capability at pump stations, and excessive infiltration/inflow. The Division is working with the Town to correct these problems. A structure for holding and pretreating the leachate prior to discharge to the Town's wastewater treatment plant should be constructed to prevent any impact upon the Town's plant. I am uncertain as to the capacity of the- OMC pump station to which the leachate will be pumped before being delivered to the wastewater treatment facility. This should be evaluated and modifications made as necessary. Plans and specifications for Division review and issuance of a non -discharge permit will be required for the sewer line, pump station, and pretreatment f6cilities before construction is begun.

The unnamed stream located within the proposed landfill site retains the same classification as the Valley River, to which it is tributary. NCAC 2H.0200 requires setbacks of 50 feet from these streams. Any streams or springs contaminated by leachate will be required to be treated. Care should thus be taken to ensure that the leachate does not reach these waters. The terrain of the landfill .is somewhat steep in places. Waste disposed of in these areas could become dislodged making its way into 'state waters if the cells are constructed in such a manner as to be unstable or if the solid waste is not properly covered. The first possibility should be addressed in the planning stage of the landfill, and the second, of course, will be an operational matter. Provided that the points made here are taken in consideration, Water Quality staff in the Asheville Regional Office believes this site can be successfully used for solid waste disposal. if you have any questions concerning these comments, please let me know.

Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary William L. Meyer, Director February 18, 1994 w I K W111.11 s!bit) ► TO: Bill Sessoms- FROM: Bobby Lutfy $/,, RE: Landfill Siting Task Force, Cherokee County The primary concern of the Solid Waste Section in the hydrogeologic evaluation of a potential landfill site is to determine if the site has a well defined ground -water flow direction and rate and an on - site ground -water discharge point. These site characteristics enable the ability to reasonably predict ground -water flow so that an effective ground -water monitoring system can be designed. It is of critical importance that the landfill owner/operator be able to control the property from a waste disposal area to the ground -water discharge point. Then, should there be a release of hazardous constituents at the site, no drinking water wells would be in the path of the contaminated ground water as it migrates toward the stream serving as the discharge point. The contaminant plume could be contained naturally, reducing any potential threat to the public health. Based on the existing information provided and visual observations made during the landfill siting task force site visit, this site appears to deserve further consideration for possible use as a solid waste management facility. Drainage for most of the proposed site is toward the Valley River, so it is assumed based on topography that most of the ground -water flow at the site would be toward the Valley River, which would serve as the primary discharge feature. It appears that with the Valley River serving as the discharge point along the south property boundary and with the two tributaries forming the east and west property boundaries and the ridge line on the north side of the property, that there is relatively goad hydrologic control for the proposed site. Solid waste disposal activities should be limited to areas south of the ridge line in order to maintain this hydrologic control and also to provide a visual buffer from the highway to the north of the site. P.Q. Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Telephone 919-733-4996 FAX 919-713605 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50%recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper Page 2 The major concern expressed by the Water Quality Section and the Wildlife Resources Commission seems to be potential impact on stream water quality and fishery resources. With proper buffers, engineering controls, and operational procedures, stream water quality can be protected. Since a 300 foot buffer is required from property boundaries and waste disposal is not permitted in floodplains, there should be a fairly extensive buffer area to protect the Valley River which is the southern property boundary. In order to protect the Valley River as Class C Trout Waters, a 300 foot buffer should be maintained along the entire course of the river. Since the existing unlined landfill has not shown any significant impact upon the water quality of the Valley River, it is unlikely that the proposed high-tech landfill would have any significant impact. A 300 foot buffer would also be required along the two tributary streams that form the east and west property boundaries. A minimum buffer of 50 feet is required for all streams so this will provide some protection of the smaller tributary in the central part of the site. With proper erosion control this buffer may be sufficient, but additional buffer could be considered if the this was felt necessary to protect the Class C Trout Stream status of the tributary. Summary: A final determination can not be made on site suitability until additional hydrogeologic investigation has been completed. However, based on the information available at this time, the proposed Cherokee County landfill site appears to have some desirable characteristics that would indicate additional consideration of the proposed site is worthwhile. Jqr y January 19, 1994 MEMO TO: Bill Sessoms Solid Waste Section FROM: Jim Patterson Waste Management Specialist SUBJECT: Cherokee Co. Landfill Site Task Force Evaluation My evaluation of the West Property located off of Highway 19-129/74 in the Marble Section of Cherokee County as a potential solid waste disposal facility is as follows: Site loga6S2n - This property is located at a good central location to serve Cherokee, Clay, and Graham Counties. Site --access - Property is located adjacent to Highway 19-129/74 which is a four -lane highway and access into the property should be relatively easy. Roads could be developed with minimal slopes. Buffers = The property is bordered by the Valley River on its southern boundary, by Highway 19-129/74 on its northern boundary, by a small stream on its western boundary, and by private property on its eastern boundary. Since the Valley River is the southern property boundary and is most likely the discharge area for the groundwater from the property, a 300 ft. buffer from the disposal area to the River would be created, thus establishing an area for monitoring and remediation if needed. ToWagphy - The property is, for the most part, located on a hillside with a small amount of property lying in the floodplain alongside the Valley River. The slopes of the hillside are relatively gentle and should cause no development or construction problems. Proximity to residences - Five homes are located to the south of the property, probably at least 1000 ft. away on the opposite side of the Valley River and in an entirely different drainage feature. The only impact the location of a landfill on this property would pose to these homes would be visual (the houses could see the landfill operation). MEMO. Bill Sessoms January 19, 1994 Page 2 Site development - A landfill could be developed on the property so that it would not be visible from Highway 19-129/74. Proximity to airQrt - The property is located only 11,000 ft. from the Cherokee County Airport and any extension of the runway of over 1,000 ft. in the direction of the West property would place the airport closer to the proposed landfill site than the N. C. Solid Waste Rules specify, which is 10,000 ft. for jet aircraft. Proximily IQ sewer V5tern - The landfill site is located only about 1,000 ft. from the Town of Andrews' sewer line at the OMC Plant. This would provide an easy means of dealing with leachate generated at the landfill site. In conclusion, in my opinion this site has enough good points to merit further consideration as a solid waste disposal facility. cc: Julian Foscue State of North Caro,- j Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources_ .Division of Forest Resources James B.

TO: Bill Sessoms, Division of Solid waste Management FROM: Don H. Robbins, Staff Forester SUBJECT: Forestry Evaluation of the Proposed Cherokee County Landfill Site Due to other commitments, I was not -able to attend the site on January 13, 1994. However, the following District Nine Division of Forest Resources employees attended the meeting obtained input from them. 1.Service Forester Mike Shealy 2.Cherokee County Ranger Mike Mauney 3.Cherokee Assistant County Ranger Henry Wilson The following is their input concerning forestry impacts: "At the meeting we were informed that there was only one proposed site. The total area for the site should be approx. 79 acres with the actual fill area being approx. 25-30 acres. We were informed that there was only one landowner involved and he also owned the land where the previous land fill was located. We were then informed that our comments should only be within our area of expertise or relating to areas within our regulatory authority. Later that day we visited the site. Upon the inspection we (the N.C.F.S.) determined that there was little timber value on the area. The site contained fields -and low quality mixed hardwoods with some scattered pines; therefore, we did not feel that the site would adversely effect the present timber production potential of the area." visit and I P.O.

Attempt,if possible, to salvage any pulpwood or sawtimber size trees that have to be cut to permit construction. 2. Attempt to prevent erosion, sedimentation and construction damage to forest land outside construction limits. Trees outside the construction limits should be protected from construction activities to avoid: a. Skinning of tree trunks by machinery. b. Soil compaction and root exposure or injury by heavy equipment. C. Adding layers of fill dirt over the root systems of trees, a practice that impairs root aeration. d. Accidental spilling of petroleum products or other damaging substances over the root systems of trees. 3. Be concerned about fire protection. If any burning of debris is to be accomplished, the contractor will have to secure an open burning permit. We have previously recommended that the contractor attempt to salvage merchantable trees for pulpwood, and sawtimber that have to be cut to permit construction. This will reduce the amount of debris that has to be burned. Once the burning permit is issued, the contractor would have to take necessary precautions to keep the fire contained and not allowed to escape to surrounding woodland. To ensure that a fire would not escape,_the contractor would need to do the following: a. Maintain a sufficient amount of exposed mineral soil around each burning pile. This would be a fire break. b. Have a competent fire watchman present during burning operations. C. Ensure that all machine use and equipment are working properly with correct exhaust systems that are not going to start any fires. d. Workmen need to be careful with any warming fires during the winter months. e. Burn in such a way so as not to cause a smoke management problem. Mr. Bill -Sessoms ---- Page 3 January 19, 1994 If you desire any more information, then please contact me. Our District Nine personnel above have indicated that this proposed land fill site will not cause a significant impact from a forestry standpoint. gm pc: Warren Boyette - CO District Forester Gerald McCall - D9 Staff Forester Mike Shealy - D9 Cherokee County Ranger Mike Mauney File ® North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission 512 N. Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604-1188, 919-733-3391 Charles R. Fullwood, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: William Sessoms, Cherokee County Task Force Coordinator, Solid Waste Section FROM: Joffrey Brooks, District 9 Wildlife ilt_:Lqsk"� DATE: January 14, 1994 SUBJECT: Cherokee County Landfill Site Evaluation As a biologist on the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission staff, i have reviewed the proposed site for the new Cherokee County landfill and attended the project review meeting on January 13, 1994. The site was inspected with other members of the task force on -the same date and 1 an familiar with the wildlife habitat values of the project area. The following comments are forwarded to you in response to the request in your memo of December 21, 1993 to Dennis Stewart, Habitat Conservation Program Manager for the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. The landfill site will be used as a regional landfill for the counties of Cherokee, Clay,and Graham. Garbage will be placed in the landfill in accordance with regulations and procedures of the Division of Solid Waste. The property is presently in pasture and woodland and portions of the land have been used in the past to obtain fill dirt. The major concern of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission in the location of this landfill would be to protect the fishery resources of the -Valley River which borders the project site. The Valley River is designated by the NCWHC as hatchery -supported trout waters and is regularly stocked with trout during appropriate periods for recreational trout fishing. Preventing siltation of the stream and protecting water quality would be major concerns from a wildlife/fisheries perspective. Based upon observations at 1 the site, we would recommend at least a 100 foot buffer of undisturbed land (natural vegetation) between the streams on the property and any land disturbance. We would also recommend immediate remedies for any obvious erosion problems which occur due to heavy rains or flooding conditions. Permanent seeding of access roads immediately after construction and temporary seeding (annual rye etc.) of any disturbed land or overburden storage areas which would remain in place for extended periods are also recommended to aid in controlling erosion from the site. Any landfill in Western North Carolina also has the potential to attract black bears and/or other wildlife which may feed on garbage. Bear harvests by hunters are annually recorded from the nearby Watersheds of Parsons Branch and Vengeance Creek. Although this landfill site is located in bear habitat, it is some distance from any bear sanctuaries or major concentrations of bear numbers and any problems or adverse effects on bear populations are unlikely. It still would be of extreme importance to cover all garbage as soon as possible to prevent attracting occasional bears which pass through the area or to prevent concentrations of scavengers such as crows, vultures, or blackbirds.

I have reviewed the project site map and have found one record of a rare species having been found near the project site. This record is of a population of columbo (Frasera caroliniensis), a Significantly Rare plant in North Carolina. This plant population was found in 1979 in deciduous woods near Moss Cemetery just north of the landfill site. No other known populations of rare plants or animals, significant natural areas, or high quality natural communities occur in the project site or within a 2 mile radius of the project site. However, this project area has not been systematically inventoried and we cannot definitively state that rare species or significant natural areas do not occur there. Enclosed is a list of the rare species that are known to occur in Cherokee County. If suitable habitat for any of these species occurs in the project area, then those species may be present at the project site. If it is necessary to be certain that this site does not contain rare species, a field survey would need to be conducted.

Js G5 S .15 G 5 4 G.1 --NATURAL HERITAGE ELEMENTS AND SPECIES STATUS CODES The attached output from the N.C. Natural Heritage Program database is a listing of the elements (rare species, geologic features, natural communities, and special animal habitats) known to occur in your geographic area of interest. The information on this printout is compiled from a variety of sources, including field surveys, museums and herbaria, literature, and personal communications. The database is dynamic, with new records being added and old records being revised as we receive new information. The enclosed list cannot be considered a definitive record of natural heritage elements, and it should not be considered a substitute for field surveys. When this information is used in any document, we request that the printout date be given and that the Natural Heritage Program be credited. This cover sheet explains the four columns of status codes that are given on the right-hand side of the printout. STATE PROTECTION CODE STATUS CODE STATUS E Endangered SR Significantly Rare T Threatened V Vulnerable Sc Special Concern UNK Undetermined C Candidate ,EX Extirpated P_ Proposed (E, T, or C) Plant statuses are determined by the Plant Conservation Program (N.C. Dept. of Agriculture) and the Natural Heritage Program (N.C. Dept. of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources). E, T, and SC species are protected by state law (tiie Plant Protection and Conservation Act, 1979); C and SR designations indicate rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action, as determined by the Plant Conservation and Natural Heritage Programs. Animal statuses that indicate state protection (E, T, and SC) are published in "Endangered Wildlife of North Carolina", March 16, 1992, N.C. Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program. The Significantly Rare, Undetermined, Vulnerable and Extirpated statuses are (for the most part) Natural Heritage Program designations. They indicate rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action. FEDERAL PROTECTION The current federal status is listed in "Endangered and Threatened wildlife and Plants, July 15, 1991 (50 CFR 17.11 & 17.12, Department of the Interior). Definitions are taken from the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended through the 100th Congress (1988), and the Federal Register, Part VIII, November 21, 1991 (50 CFR 17, Department of the Interior). CODE STATUS DEFINITION E Endangered A taxon which "is in dancer of extinction throughout all or a significant partion of its range" T Threatened A taxon "which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range" P` proposed A taxon which has been proposed for official listing an endangered or threatened L_ Listed A taxon which has been officially listed as endangered or threatened cl Category 1 A taxon which is under consideration, and for ("Candidate 1") which there is sufficient information to support listing y C2 Category 2 A taxon which is under consideration, but for ("Candidate 2") which there is insufficient information to support ' _ listing .-.... I _ -consideration - 3A Category 3A A taxon which was -formerly under for - ("Candidate 3A") listing, but for which there is "persuasive - - - evidence of extinction" - --- - - - - - 38 Category 3E A taxon which was formerly under consideration for ("Candidate 3E") listing, but which current taxonomic understanding does not support as a distinct entity meeting the Endangered Species Act's definition of "species" 3C Category 3C A taxon formerly under consideration for listing, ("Candidate 3C") but which has been "proven to be more abundant or widespread than previously believed and/or (which is] not subject to any identifiable threat" GLOBAL AND STATE RANK These ranks are determined by The Nature Conservancy's system of measuring rarity and threat status. "Global- refers to worldwide and "State" to statewide. RANK DEFINITION G1 Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range G2 Imperiled globally because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extinction throughout its range G3 Either very rare and local throughout its range, or found locally in a restricted area G4 Apparently secure globall)r, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery) Gs Demonstrably secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery) GH of historical occurrence throughout its range GX Believed to be extinct throughout its range GU Possibly in peril but status uncertain; more information is needed G? Unranked, or rank uncertain Q of questionable taxonomic status T_ Status of subspecies or variety; the G rank refers to the species as a whole State rank codes follow the same definitions, except the words "in the state" should be substituted for "globally" or "throughout its range." Also, there are four additional state ranks: RANK DEFINITION SR Reported from North Carolina, but without persuasive documentation _B Rank of the breeding population in North Carolina; used only for migratory species _N Rank of the non -breeding population in North Carolina; used only for migratory species _Z_ Population is not of significant conservation concern; applies to transitory, migratory species 2/4/93 N.C.

West Division of Env*X�3 al Management FROM: Kerry S. Becker Water Quality Section SUBJECT: Cherokee County Regional Landfill Comments U.S. Hwy 64 Site Based on the described management and construction practices to be used, no impact to water quality is anticipated with respect to proposed site located adjacent to the current Cherokee landfill and U.S. Hwy 64 Bypass. As proposed, the leachate will be collected and pumped to the Town of Andrew's wastewater treatment facility. This facility is permitted for a maximum monthly average flow of 1.5 MGD with current monthly average flows of 0.65 MGD. The Town has adequate capacity to accept the landfill leachate, however, you should be aware that the Town's wastewater treatment plant and collection system has and is currently experiencing problems. Some of the problems relate to staffing, i.e., inadequate operation and maintenance of the facility, insufficient pumping capability at pump stations, and excessive infiltration/inflow. The Division is working with the Town to correct these problems. A structure for holding and pretreating the leachate prior to discharge to the Town's wastewater treatment plant should be constructed to prevent any impact upon the Town's plant. I am uncertain as to the capacity of the OMC pump station to which the leachate will be pumped before being delivered to the wastewater treatment facility. This should be evaluated and modifications made as necessary. Plans and specifications for Division review and issuance of a non -discharge permit will be required for the sewer line, pump station, and pretreatment facilities before construction is begun.

The unnamed stream located within the proposed.landfill site retains the same classification as the Valley River, to which it is tributary. NCAC 2H.0200 requires setbacks of 50 feet from these streams. Any streams or springs contaminated by leachate will be required to be treated. Care should thus be taken to ensure that the leachate does not reach these waters. The terrain of the landfill is somewhat steep in places. Waste disposed of in these areas could become dislodged making its way into state waters if the cells are constructed in such a manner as to be unstable or if the solid waste is not properly covered. The first possibility should be addressed in the planning stage of the landfill, and the second, of course, will be an operational matter. Provided that the points made here are taken in consideration, Water Quality staff in the Asheville Regional office believes this site can be successfully used for solid waste disposal.

December 1993 Project No. 93166.02 The proposed landfill site is shown on Plate 1 and is located in the Blue Ridge physiographic and tectonic province which is characterized by steep mountains with generally narrow stream and river valleys. The site is located in the valley of the Valley River. The site lies on the north side of the Murphy syncline. The metamorphosed sedimentary rocks strike northeast and dip southeast between 50 and 90 degrees (Dodson, 1965). The formations (Power and Forrest, 1971), in stratigraphically descending order, are: • Mineral Bluff Formation, • Nottely Quartzite, • Andrews Formation, • Murphy Marble, and • Brasstown Formation. The formations likely to be encountered at the proposed site, based on the map in Power and Forrest, 1971 are: Mineral Bluff Formation, Andrews Formation, and Murphy Marble and possibly the Nottely Quartzite. The lithology of each unit is described below. The Mineral Bluff formation is a quartz-sericite schist or phyllite with varying thicknesses (generally less than 10 feet) of quartzite beds. Minor beds of blue slate, garnet -mica schist, and biotite schist occur throughout the formation (Power and Forrest, 1971, p.11). The Nottely Quartzite is an orthoquartzite that is thin to medium -bedded, medium grained, and exhibits abundant cross -bedding (Power and Forrest, 1971, p.10). In the area being considered for the new landfill, this unit was not mapped and may be included in the overlying Mineral Bluff formation. The Andrews formation is a thin calcareous greenish gray to dark blue -gray schist which- consists of alternating layers of marble and cross-biotite schist (Power and Forrest, 1971, p.8). The formation weathers to a varicolored saprolite with abundant lenses and concretions of brown limonite. The Murphy Marble underlies the Andrews formation. The marble is both calcareous and dolomitic with the dolomite generally being at the top. Talc is also present (Power and Forrest, 1971, p.7). Although probably not present at the site, the lowermost formation is the Brasstown. This unit is a gray to dark gray, thin -bedded schist and micaceous quartzite (Power and Forrest, 1971, p-5). The rocks in this region have undergone four periods of deformation. Each deformation period resulted in its own folds and schistosity and/or cleavage which modified the previous folds and produced a different orientation for the folds and schistosity. This has resulted in a complex pattern of cross -cutting schistosity, cleavage, and folds. In addition to the periods of deformation, the original sedimentary rocks have undergone at least two periods of metamorphism. Fach of these metamorphic periods resulted in a modification to the original mineralogy. Although faults exist in the Murphy syncline and belt, none are reported for the proposed area (Power and Forrest, 1971). There are no known Holocene Faults in the area or at the proposed site (Howard, et al, 1978). This area is in a seismic impact zone (Algermission, et al, 1990).
