RE:. General Permit No. NCG 120000
Request for Representative Outfall Status
Blackburn MSW Landfill Facility

Catawba County, NC
Dear Mr. Pasko:
I am writing to discuss your request for Representative Outfall Status at the Blackburn MSW
Landfill Facility. Per our phone conversation on Tuesday January 8th, 2008 1 must deny the requested
Representative Outfall Status at the Blackburn MSW Landfill Facility at this time. As we discussed on
the phone the State of North Carolina must base this decision on data collection.
However, as we discussed we would consider a future re -application for Representative Outfall
Status at Blackburn MSW Landfill Facility with the addition of analytical sampling data consistent with
the permit requirements. We would like Blackburn MSW Landfill Facility to submit at least four (4)
sampling data sets to base the decision of Representative Outfall Status. The sampling frequency and
types of data.are outlined in the general permit NCG 120000. A copy of this permit can be found at:
http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms Documents.htm#StormwaterGP
The conditions of Representative Outfall Status are such that if a Best Management Practice
(BMP) is required to mitigate stormwater runoff from a representative area, all areas that are represented
by this outfall shall also have separate BMPs for each outfall area (as all areas are deemed similar).
If you have any questions concerning representative outfall status or the general permit, please
contact me at telephone number [phone] ext. 591.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Jones

RE: General Permit No. NCG 120000
Request for Representative Outfall Status
Blackburn MSW Landfill Facility
NPDES COC NCG120001
Catawba County, NC
On December 31, 2007 DWQ received your request for Representative Outfall Status (ROS), as
presented on your behalf by Mr. Dave Pasko, McGill Engineering. On January 10, 2008 we denied that
request. After several subsequent email contacts with Mr. Pasko, we have addressed his questions and we
have modified our previous response to your request as follows.
Mr. Pasko noted that extensive in -stream sampling had been accomplished, and that all the results
were non -detect. Unfortunately, we cannot use the in -stream data for this landfill permit as it is not direct
from the outfall, some points do not capture upstream stormwater runoff, and some are downstream of
more than one discharge point. It also does not appear that you have TSS, fecal coliform, or COD
parameters in your data - these are required stormwater monitoring parameters as identified in your
permit.
The conditions of Blackburn MSW's permit state that the facility will have stormwater monitoring
data on file, the facility will conduct monitoring in the last year of their old permit, and the facility will
submit this data with the renewal form. Unfortunately, Blackburn MSW has not complied with any of
these sampling requirements. Please be advised that without the required permit data from the previous
permit cycle we will not be able to consider ROS for this facility.
After studying your site plan again, we believe nine (9) monitoring points would be sufficient:
outfalls 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15. As we would like to see monitoring data in order to make a sound
decision for ROS, we would like to have data from the first four (4) monitoring events. You may then
apply for ROS based on the analytical results for the required permit parameters from these 4 sample
events.

RE: General Stonmwater Permit
Request for Representative Outfall Status
Blackburn MSW Landfill Facility
Catawba County, North Carolina
Stormwater Pennit # \CG120001
On behalf of Catawba County, McGill Associates is pleased to present this request to
obtain representative outfalt status for the General Stonmwater Permit monitoring at their
Blackburn MSW Landfill Facility. Per Part III, Section D6 of the General Stormwater Permit
issued November 1, 2007, the County requests that representative outfall status be granted for the
semi-arinual analytical monitoring of the site. Weekly qualitative monitoring for the facility will
be conducted in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Part II, Section C of the
Permit. In support of this request, two copies of the Location Map (Figure 1) and Drainage Area
Map (Figure 2) are attached.
Existing Conditions
The Blackburn Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill Facility is a 750-acre site owned
by Catawba County. The Facility consists of approximately 75 acres of active MSW landfill,
approximately 24 acres of active Construction and Demolition (C&D) landfill, a 55-acre closed
MSW landfill, a 9-acre closed C&D landfill, a drop-off convenience center, grinding operation,
soil stockpile area, leachate storage tanks, 10,000 gallon diesel fuel storage tank, and vehicle
maintenance facility. The site consists of 15 drainage areas with point source discharge,
covering approximately 400 acres. The remaining 350 acres on the site is non -point source
discharge across fields and wooded areas. All storinwater runoff from landfill activities is point

source discharge through the riser/barrel system of sediment basins. This includes runoff from
active and closed landfill cells, soil borrow/stockpile areas, the convenience center, grinding
operation, fuel storage, and vehicle maintenance area. Catawba County is pro -active in
controlling stormwater runoff from landfill activities. Sediment basins are designed as
permanent structures, typically able to handle 100-year storm events. Landfill staff conducts
routine inspection of all sediment basins and sediment is removed as necessary in order for the
basins to operate effectively and efficiently. hi order to satisfy the Landfill Operating Permit, the
County is required to conduct surface water monitoring at four stream locations on a semi-annual
basis. Figure 1 is a Location Map of the Blackburn Landfill Facility. Figure 2 illustrates the
following at the Blackburn Landfill Facility:
• Blackburn Landfill property lines
• Active and closed landfill units
• Soil stockpile area
• Topographic information
• Stream locations
• The 15 point source discharge drainage areas and associated outfall
• The non -point source discharge drainage areas
• The proposed representative outfall (Drainage Area 1)
• The four existing surface water monitoring points
• Vehicle maintenance facility (greater than 55 gallons of new motor oil per
month)
• Diesel fuel storage tank (10,000 gallons with secondary containment)
• Leachate storage tanks (438,000 gallon capacity with secondary containment.
Leachate levels are kept as low as possible)
Proposed Representative Outfall
The County would like to obtain representative outfall status for the stormwater discharge
from Drainage Area 1. Drainage Area 1 is 32.2 acres and includes approximately 21 acres of
active MSW landfill, the vehicle maintenance facility, the leachate storage tanks, the landfill
office, and the diesel fuel storage tanks. Stortmwater runoff in this drainage area is directed to
the sediment basin at outfall 1, as shown on Figure 2. Stormwater monitoring samples will be
collected from the discharge pipe of the sediment basin located at Outfall 1. Drainage Area 1 is
representative of activities of the entire Blackburn Landfill Facility and includes the leachate
storage tanks, diesel fuel storage tanks, and vehicle maintenance facility. Analytic monitoring as
set forth in Part II, Sections B (Analytical Monitoring) & D (On -Site Vehicle Maintenance
Monitoring) of the Permit will be conducted in this drainage area.

Mr. Bennett, we appreciate your prompt review of this request. The County would like to
be prepared to collect samples when the Year 1 — Period 1 begins on January 1, 2008. Please let
us know if you have any questions or require additional information.

Catawba County, Blackburn Landfill, General 5tormNvater Permit
Subject: Catawba County, Blackburn Landfill, General Stormwater Permit
From: "Dave Pasko" <[e-mail]>
Date: Fri, I I Jan 2008 1 1:56:22 -0500
To: <[e-mail]>
Jennifer,
I've just sent you a fax with surface water monitoring data for two locations for the past 4
years. The testing is quite extensive with all 'ND' results. Surface water monitoring points 4
and 5 are planned in conjunction with the operation of the new cell (Unit 3, Phase 1) and won't
be sampled until the first half of 2009. The County would like for the NCDENR-DWQ to
consider Catawba County monitoring 5 of the outfalls located around the property instead of all
15. Referring to the map that I sent you, the site would include: to the north, DA's 14 & 11;
DA-1 on the west; and DA's 6 & 9 on the south. DA-14 contains the primary stockpile area for
the landfill. DA's 6 & 9 include both stockpile areas and landfill areas and DA-9 will take
stormwater runoff from construction activities associated with the construction of the new cell.
We would be glad to meet with you or a representative of NCDNER-DWQ at the site to review
this request. We spoke on the phone about the fact that the sediment basins at the sampling
locations are so large that it's possible that a storm event meeting the sampling criteria may
not actually discharge runoff. According to the old permit, this would mean that results would
not be required. After reading the new permit, it's not clear to me how this would affect
reporting of results. Thanks for any input that you may have regarding this question.
We look forward to working with to complete this general stormwater permitting and we're
keeping an eye on the weather radar. I'll be in touch with you regarding finalizing any
questions for the stormwater permit for the Blackburn Landfill.

Jennifer,
Given Susan's input, this may be an opportune time to address your letter below to the Permittee -
who ever is sho«al in BIMS as the pennittee's contact. rather than Mr Pasco (He still get's a copy,
but the letter gets addressed to the pennittee) - - Just an idea to pre-empt any kind of accidental
miscommunication wrt the Representative Outfall Status request - these kinds of
miscommunications can sometimes happen. The letter will be a little bit awkward in the first
paragraph; but after that the points are all the same - - see what you think about re -addressing the
letter to the perrnittee, and incorporating any of my wording below that you think fits.
Something like - -
" Dear Sir: On December 31, 2007 DWQ received your request for ROS, as presented on your
behalf by Mr- Dave Pasco, McGill Engineeering. On January 1, 2008 we denied that request. After
several subsequent email contacts with Mr. Pasco, we have addressed a couple of Mr. Pasco's
questions and we have modified our previous response to your request as follows.
1. In a 1/11/08 email Mr. Pasco inquired about how to account for no discharge from sediment
ponds. Please just submit the pre-printed SDOMR form with "No Discharge this period" ......etc as
you have already written below.
2. Mr. Pasco noted that extensive in -stream sampling had been accomplished, and that all the results
were non -detect. Please note that....
3. Mr. Pasco again requested ROS (by email 1/11/08), and suggested outfalls 1,6.9.1 land 14.
Please be advised that without the required permit data fi-om the previous permit cycle we will not
consider ROS for this facility. You may apply for ROS based on subsequent sampling, and upon the
submission of analytical results for the permit parameters from 4 sample events...etc with the ideas
and words you have already written.
4. However, as a result of discussions with Mr. Pasco, we have reviewed more closely the aerial
photograph site plan of your site. It appears to us that sorne of the outfalls may not be subject to the
WG120000 General Permit. Specifically, it appears from the photograph tht outfalls 2,3,4, and 5.
are draining exclusively the area of the C&D landfill. Also, outfalls 1 1 and 13 appear from the
photograph to drain areas without any industrial (i.e. lanfrlling) activity. If that is the case, please
request in writing that we exclude those outfalls from your monitoring obligation —etc with the
words and ideas you have already written.
Always,
JJ

Hi Bradley,
I got another email today from the consultant regarding Blackburn MSW - this is after 1 had sent
the letter because I thought we had resolved the issue. I spoke to Ken about it and he helped me
(a lot) with this so we kind of came up with this compromise. I still feel that its important to
monitor each open MSW because even though they might seem the same on paper - they might
be very different when sampled. Ken also pointed out that it appears that they didn't sample for
TSS, pH or COD - which are our analytical monitoring parameters.
Here is the text I was going to send below - Ken and I will come talk to you to get your
feedback.
Thank you!

Hi Dave,
I just got your fax. To answer your questions:
1. /We spoke on the phone about the fact that the sediment basins at the sampling locations are
so large that it's possible that a storm event meeting the sampling criteria may not actually
discharge runoff. According to the old permit, this would mean that results would not be
required. After reading the new permit, it's not clear to me how this would affect reporting of
results/.
* If you have no discharge. then we do not have a problem with
reporting "No Discharge" at that outfall on that sampling date. (KBP ADDITION: But
please, alert your client that we still require that he submit the monitoring report - - he can't just
ignore his reporting obligation, even if there is no discharge from some of the outfalls.)
2, rrhe testing is quite extensive with all 'ND' results. Surface water monitoring points 4 and 5
are planned in conjunction with the operation of the new cell (Unit 3, Phase 1) and won't be

sampled until the first half of 2009/.
* Per our phone conversation on Tuesday January 8th, 2008 we will
need stormwater monitoring data from the Blackburn MSW before
being able to issue a Representative Outfall Status. We cannot use
the in -stream data for this landfill perinit as it is not direct
from the outfall, some points do not capture upstream stormwater
runoff, and some are downstream of more than one discharge point.
It also does not appear that you have TSS, fecal coliform or COD
parameters in your data - these are our SW analytical monitoring
parameters KBP ADDITION: ,as identified in your client's permit.
/3. //The County would like for the NCDENR-DWQ to consider Catawba County monitoring 5
of the outfalls located around the property instead of all 15. Referring to the map that I sent you.

south. DA-14 contains the primary stockpile area for the landfill. DA's 6 & 9 include both
stockpile areas and landfill areas and DA-9 will take storrnwater runoff from construction
activities associated with the construction of the new cell/
* I sent out a letter to you yesterday which you should receive on
Monday or Tuesday. I don't believe that we can issue
Representative Outfall Status without the appropriate stormwater
data. The conditions of Blackburn MSW's permit state that they
will have storm -water monitoring data on file, SW monitoring in the
last year of their old perinit, and submit this data with their
renewal form
* However, after studying your site plan again with another
stormwater engineer here, we believe that if you monitored
outfalls.1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1.2, 14. 15 that would be sufficient
for the first four monitoring events, after which you could apply
for representative outfall status.
////If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,

Jennifer,
Thank you for the call today regarding the representative outfall status for General
Stormwater Permit for the Blackburn Landfill in Catawba County. I'll contact the Landfill
Operator regarding the data that they have for previous sampling events. Please don't
hesitate to call if you have any additional questions regarding the Stormwater Permit for

Earlier permit does not have requirements to keep monitoring.
SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS ]FROM PREVIOUS PERMIT —
CURRENT PERMIT REQUIRES ANALYTICAL MONITORING REGARDLESS OF
MONITORING RESULTS].
During the period beginnin; on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee is
authorized to discharge stormtvater. Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as
specified below in Table 1.
For each parameter, the arithmetic mean of all analytical sampling results collected during the tern of the
pennit shall be calculated for each individual outfall. The computed arithmetic mean is then compared to
the cut-off concentrations listed below in Table 2. If the arithmetic mean is less than the specified cut-off
concentration for a given parameter, then the facility is not required to continue annual analytical
monitoring for that parameter (at that outfall) during the remaining term of the permit unless a significant
change in facility operations or configuration occurs. If a cut-off concentration results in discontinued
analytical monitoring at an individual discharge outfall, the permittee is required to maintain facility
operations that ensure the continuation of stornnvater runoff quality.
The permittee trust perform analytical sans line durin.- the first and last year of the permit term regardless
of cut-off concentration conditions. Analytical results from sampling during the final year of the permit

term must be submitted with the permit renewal application. All analytical monitoring shall be performed
during a representative storm event.
Notes:
1) Spoke with Dr. Barlaz, [C&E Engineering Prof, NCSU, Landfill Research]
January 7, 2008 - called and left message i 1 AM.
RE: representative outfall status.
750 acres total landfill:
75 ac = active MSW
• 24 ac - active construction and demolition (C&D)
• 55 ac closed MSW
9 ac closed C&D
• = 163 ac active and open landfill
He said that stormwater should not come in contact with any part of the C&D or
municipal solid waste - if it does it is considered lechate. Lechate containment not
required for municipal or c&d until this year. All stormwater runoff should not be in
contact with C&D or MSW, and should only be in contact with soil and therefore should
not be contamihated.
2) Spoke with Samar from Mooresville RO 1 /8/08:
Said would suggest getting data first before going out on vist - if go out on visit he
will ask for data and this will mean they may get an NOV due to not having data on file
or recording data and submitting it for the last year, or submitting a summary when
requesting renewal.
3) Spoke with Dave Pasko, Consulting Engineer with McGill Associates, Represents
Blackburn MSW:
Said that:
• We had a responsibility to have data or site visit if we were to grant representative
outfall status
• We could do a site visit but may find that they do not have data and may give
an NOV
• Consultant agreed that it would be better to have data and said will submit and
re -request. He also had Landfill siream-monitoring data that he can submit but I
told him this would not be taken in its place.
• I will submit a letter reply to his original request, and send after receiving
feedback from Ken Pickle..

Hi Samar,
Thank you for your help with the Blackburn Co. MSW. I just wanted
you to know that I tailed them and they agreed that instead of having a
site visit that it would be better for them to collect some data, submit
it, and then re -request representative outfall request later. I am going
to write them a letter and I'll copy you on it and I'll also send you a
copy of the site map and their initial request.
Thanks again for your help and hope you are having a happy New Year!
Thanks!
Jen
