amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic.
b. Any failure of the landfill program resulting in a discharge of wastes to
receiving waters.
c. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the facility has
gone out of compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit
or the parameters on which the system was designed.

Any groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
0

2. Prior to beginning waste disposal operations, three (3) monitor wells, one (1)
upgradient and two (2) downgradient, must be installed to monitor groundwater
quality. The location and construction details for these wells must be approved by
the Raleigh Regional Office, from which a well construction permit must be
obtained.
3. The monitor wells must be sampled initially after construction (and prior to
waste disposal operations) and thereafter every March and November for the
following parameters;
TDS (500.0)
pH (6.5-8.5 s.u.)
Purgeable Halocarbons (EPA Method 601)
Acid/BAse Neutrals Extractables (EPA Method 625)
Water Level
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified. in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]. Unless otherwise noted, the
concentrations are given in parts per million.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be. sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW -59 (Compliance Monitoring Report
Form) every April and December.
4. The om liance Bounda delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal
system is specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classificationsand Water Quality
Standards applicable to the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance of
Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to
penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale of
property, by the Permittee, which is within or contiguous to the disposal system site
may alter location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is

boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary

The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A REVIEW
BQIINDARY is established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the
concentration of any substance equals or exceeds the maximum allowable
concentration of that substance at the REVIEW BMNDARY, as determined by
monitoring, the permittee shall either (i) demonstrate, through predictive calculations
or modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design and operational controls will
prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan
for the alteration of existing site conditions, facility design or operational controls
that will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary, and
implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
5. The landfill shall have a liner of natural material at least three (3) feet in thickness at
all locations with hydraulic conductivity of no greater than 1 x10-7 centimeters per
second when compacted. Confirmation of the liners compliance must be made by
in-place testing. Following installation and inspection of the lagoon liner, and prior
to waste disposal operations, certification of the liner's compliance with hydraulic
conductivity and thickness specifications must be provided to the Division of
Environmental Management, Groundwater Section, by the project engineer.
6. Prior to construction of the contaminated soil disposal system, the two (2) existing
monitor wells shall be properly abandoned in accordance with procedures outlined in
15 NCAC 2C [Well Construction Standards].
7. Following completion and filling of the contaminated soil landfill, an impervious
cover of synthetic material shall be placed over the landfill to prevent the infiltration
of rainwater through the contaminated soils. _
V. INSPECTIONS
I . The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the soil storage, transport, and
disposal facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and
discharges which may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a
threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall keep an inspection log
or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations made,
and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This
log of inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of three years
from the date of the inspection and shall be made available upon request by the
Division of Environmental Management or other permitting authority.
