Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in
letter form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report

does not recur.
TRQUNDWATER REQUIREMENT'S
Any groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
If

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 Hydrocarbons (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 Compliance Boundary delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal
system is specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and 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
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the landfill, or 50 feet within the property
boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary
is changed, the permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The
Director shall then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as
a modification to the Permit.
4

The REVIEW BOLMARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A REVIEW
BOUNDARY 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 BOUNDARY, 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 x107 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 [Weil Construction Standards].
7. Following completion and filling of the contaminated soillandfill, a one foot thick
clay cap with a hydraulic conductivity of no greater than 10-6 centimeters per second
should be placed over the landfill with a crown to promote runoff. A suitable soil
for vegetation should then be placed over the clay cap and planted to prevent erosion.
V. INSPECTIONS_
T . 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.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division of
Environmental Management may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and
inspect any property, premises or place on or related to the landfill at any reasonable
time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy
any records that must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; or may
obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or leachate.

2. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes
described in the application and other supporting data.
3. This permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for the facilities to
change ownership or a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request must
be submitted to the Division of Environmental Management accompanied by an
application fee, documentation from the parties involved, and other supporting
materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this request will be considered
on its merits and may or may not be approved.
4. Prior to any transfer of this land, a notice shall be given to the new owner that
gives full details of the materials applied or incorporated at this site.
5. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental
Management in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6.
6. The annual administering and compliance fee must be paid by the Permittee within
thirty (30) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee
