The report shall also outline field testing which will. be conducted to ensure that the cap linear construction requirements are met. 20. The monitor wells shall be samples initially after construction (and prior to waste disposal operations) and thereafter every March, July, and November for the following parameters: NO3 Ammonia Nitrogen TOC Cadmium Chloride Water Level TDS Total Coliforms pH Copper TOX (in Nov. only) Zinc The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining parameters. If. TOC concentrations greater than 1.0 mg/1. are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration.. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional. sampling and analysis as described ab-jve. The analytical methods used for TOX must be capable of detecting the total of all halogenated organic compounds present at a concentration of 5.0 parts per. billion (ppb) or greater. In the event that a TOX concentration of 5.0 ppb or greater is detected, any individual halogenated organic compound(s) present at a concentration at or; above the method detection limit (MDL) must be identified and quantified utilizing EPA methods 601., 602, 604 and 61.1. 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., August and December. The Perimeter of Compliance delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 1.5 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water. Quality Standards Applicable to the Groundwaters of North Carolina. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the Perimeter_ of Compliance is subject to the penalty provisions applicable tinder General. Statute 143-215.6(a). The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within or contiguous to tyle disposal site may alter location of the Perimeter of Compliance. For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the compliance perimeter is established at the lesser of 250 feet from the landfill. trenches, or 50 feet within the property boundary. If the title to any property which may affect the boundary of the Perimeter of Compliance is changed,the perimeter of Compliance is changed, the permitee shall. notify the DEM Director within 14 days. The Director shall then establish a. modified Perimeter of Compliance which will be done as a modification to the Permit. 21. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided. 22. A set of approved plans and specifications for the subject project must be retained by the applicant for the life of the project. Permit issued this the 26th day of June, 1989. NORTH CAROLINA ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION R. Paul Wilms, Director Division. of Environmental Managment By Authority of the Environmental Management Commission Permit No. WQ0001650 ENGINEER'S CERTIFICATION I, as a duly registered Professional Engineer in the State of North Carolina, having been authorized to observe (periodically/week.ly/f.ull time) the construction of the project, (Project) for the (Name or Location) hereby state that, to the best of my (Project Owner) abilities, due care and diligence was used in the observation of the project construction such that the construction was 'observed to be built within substantial compliance and intent of the approved plans and specifications. Signature Registration No. Date L✓ IYJ7 DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT GROUNDWATER SECTION May 12, 1989 MEMORANDUM TO: Arthur Mouberry THROUGH: Bob Cheeks ' FROM: Bill Reid SUBJECT: WWTP Slud Landfill'��� Town of Spindale $s Rutherford County WQ1650/GW88131 (Babette McKemie: DEM SERG Review Engineer) The subject project was originally submitted in May of 1988. As you are aware, since that time the project application 'has been returned incomplete and resubmitted several times. Unti.1- recently (March 23, 1989), the requested chemical analyses of the sludge for synthetic organic compounds had not been completed and submitted for review. After our initial review of the project application, we indicated to the Town (Reference: June 9, 1988 letter to Bill Penson from Michael. D. Cleary) that 15 NCAC 2H. 0 21ki) required the landfill trenches to be fully lined with compacted natural material or a synthetic liner material. The project engineers, B.P. Barber & Associates, indicated that construction of fully lined trenches would not be feasible. Thus an alternative proposal (Reference: June 2.1, 1988 letter from Robert S. Whitaker to Michael D. Cleary) was submitted which proposed a_6liner in the trench bottoms (one foot thick, maximum k = 10 cm/sec.) and after settlement, the entire- area capped with one foot of compacted material (max. k = 1 x 10 cm/sec.). The Groundwater Section indicated that we would consider this alternate proposal if the applicant would perform a complete analysis of the sludge for synthetic organic compounds. Initial sampling results submitted with the application indicated that the sludge may containhighconcentrations of halogenated organic compounds. However, subsequent analyses of the sludge did not identify significant concentrations of these compounds. Considering that the wastewater flow to the treatment plant is 80% industrial, it is reasonable to believe these compounds are present, though their concentrations may vary widely with time. If the trenches cannot be fully lined, a partial liner and low permeability cap system (to limit rainfall infiltration) must be utilized. It is recommended that the permit contain the following conditions: - 1. The maximum depth of trench excavation, below land surface, shall be six (6) feet. 2. Trenches shall be excavated on a weekly basis and the sludge covered within one week of placement. The cover over the sludge shall be at least 2.5 feet in thickness and compacted to 95% Proctor Density. This cover shall be mounded at least 6 -inches above adjacent land surface to allow for settlement. 3. Within one (1) year of sludge placement the trench cover and undisturbed areas between the trenches shall be scarified and recompacted to form a one (1) foot thick cap hT.th a hydraulic conductivity not to exceed 1 x 10 cm/sec. 4. A topsoil layer shall be provided and a vegetative cover established and maintained above the compacted cap to prevent damage from erosion. 5. The trench bottoms shall be lineq with one (1) foot of compacted natural mater or natural material/bentonite mixture and have. -a _Laydraulic conductivity that does not exceed 1 x 10 cm/sec. 6. Prior to start of landfilling operations, soil samples shall be collected and laboratory testing conducted to establish that on-site. mate can be compacted to achieve the 1 x 10 cm/sec. maximum hydraulic conductivity requirement specified above. If natural materials cannot be compacted to meet this requirement, the amount of bentonite addition necessary to achieve _ hydraulic conductivity of no more than 1 x 10 cm/sec. at a given degree of compaction must be established. The results of these evaluations must be reported to the Division of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section for review and approval prior to start of operations. The report shall also outline field testing which will be conducted to ensure that the cap and liner construction requirements are met. i 7.' Prior to beginning waste disposal operations, five (5) 'monitor wells, one (1) upgradient and four (4) downgradient, shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The location and construction details for these wells must be approved by the Asheville Regional Office, from which a well construction permit must be obtained. (Note: The monitor well locations approved by the Regional Office may be different from the locations indicated on the approved plans.) 8. The monitor wells shall be sampled initially after construction (and prior to waste disposal operations) and ,thereafter every March, July, and November for the following parameters: NO3 TDS Ammonia Nitrogen Total Coliforms TOC pH Cadmium Copper Chloride TOX (in Nov. only) Water Level Zinc The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining parameters. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above. The analytical methods used for TOX must be capable of detecting the total of all halogenated organic compounds present at a concentration of 5.0 parts per billion (ppb) or greater. In the event that a TOX concentration of 5.0 ppb or greater' is detected, any individual halogenated organic compound(s) present at a concentration at or, above the method detection limit (MDL) must be identified and quantified utilizing EPA methods 601, 602, 604 and 611. 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, August and December. _ The Perimeter of Compliance delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal s stem is specified by regulations in 15 NAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards Applicable to the Groundwaters of North Carolina. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the Perimeter of Compliance is subject to the 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 site may alter location of the Perimeter of Compliance. For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the compliance perimeter is established at the lesser of 250 feet from the landfill trenches, or 50 feet within the property boundary.

Reference is made to your letter dated June 9, 1988 to Mr. Bill Penson in which you requested further information in order to complete your review of the above referenced project. Pursuant to your request, we are enclosing three (3) copies each of the additional information you requested to be included in the report and revised construction plans. The items listed in your letter are replied to below. 1. Location map is to be included in Chapter 1. 2. A map with topographic contours (USGS) showing property owned by the Town and the site location is to be included in Chapter 3. There are no wells within 500 feet of the site. 3. The monitoring well detail has, been revised on the construction plans per N. C. regulations. 4. Attached to this letter is a statement from S&ME that the seasonal high water table was not indicated at any of the soil borings in the area based on inspection of the soils from the borings. ,iVED JUN -2 "` 1988 � )UN 0,2 1981.

This lining material will consist of soil taken from the top strata to achieve the maximum permeability,required. Bentonite will be mixed with the material on an as needed basis to also maintain the required permeability. The cover shall also utilize on site material scarified and compacted periodically to maintain maximum permeability and reduce rainwater infil- tration. Included in the statement from S&ME is their estimation of typical per- meability expected from the materials encountered in the soil borings. It would be reasonable to expect that with proper compaction the material found in -6 the top layer could achieve the required 10 cm/sec. conductivity. we assure you of Spindale's commitment to comply with environmental regula- tions for the protection of the State's surface and groundwater supplies. Spindale has invested a large sum of money to upgrade its treatment facilities to include proper sludge handling and disposal in order to comply with EPA and DEM policies. Presently Spindale is working under a judicial order to have the treatment facility meeting permit limits by July of next year. Construction of the dewatering facility hinges on the expeditious review and approval of this project as submitted.

Cleary North Carolina department of Natural Resources and Community Development Division of Environmental Management 512 N. Salisbury Street Raleigh, N. C. 27611 Re: Town of Spindale Sludge Landfill Design Job No. 88004 Dear Mr. Cleary: Reference is made to your letter dated June 9, 1988 to Mr. Bill Penson in which you requested further information in order to complete your review of the above referenced project. Pursuant to your request, we are enclosing three (3) copies each of the additional information you requested to be included in the report and revised construction plans. The items listed in your letter are replied to below. 1. Location map is to be included in Chapter 1. 2. A map with topographic contours (USGS) showing property owned by the Town and the site location is to be included in Chapter 3. There are no wells within 500 feet of the site. 3. The monitoring well detail has been revised on the construction plans per N. C. regulations. 4. Attached to this letter is a statement from S&ME that the seasonal high water table was not indicated at any of the soil borings in the area based on inspection of the soils from the borings. R E C El V11 D 5. Attached is a detail showing the trench profile that includes lining OV material meeting 15 HCAC 2H .0219 (f). This lining material will consist of soil taken from the top strata to achieve the maximum permeability required. Bentonite will be mixed with the material on an as needed basis to also maintain the required permeability. The cover shall also utilize on site material scarified and compacted periodically to maintain maximum permeability and reduce rainwater infil- tration. included in the statement from S&ME is their estimation of typical per- meability expected from the materials encountered in the soil borings. It would be reasonable to expect that with proper compaction the material found in 1 -6 t1he top layer could achieve the required 10 cm/sec. conductivity. we assure you of Spindale's commitment to comply with environmental regula- tions for the protection of the State's surface and groundwater supplies. Spindale has invested a large sum of money to upgrade its treatment facilities to include proper sludge handling and disposal in order to comply with EPA and DEM policies. Presently Spindale is working under a judicial order to have the treatment facility meeting permit limits by July of next year. Construction or tine aewazer.Laq facility hinges on the expeditious review and approval of this project as submitted. You should not hesitate to contact,us should you have any questions. very truly yours,- A 'cbert S. wh?taker WOMM Mr. Keith Overstreet B.P.
