Your assistance and cooperation was appreciated and helpful. On September 28, results for the sampling that was conducted at the site inspection were forwarded to the Raleigh Regional Office for analysis and inspection write- up. Please review the Compliance Inspection Report and sample results enclosed for details. A written response is required within 30 days of receipt of this inspection report. A summary of the inspection findings is listed below. ^a .tr-+-•-+r_^� ^• •ter•-- ,,,.'-l�-c---"'7-�-.+�-xrr---.'v. �•-r ��*'�M".^-,�..-re----;�rtr ;.,r �� Halifax County Public Utilities Solid Waste Landfill contains a closed MSW, C & D, and Animal Waste Disposal Area, The Landfill is currently operating as an Ash Monofill site. DWQ records indicate an Ash Monofill site has been permitted under NCG120000 since 1993. The site includes a wood waste area, white goods facility, borrow pit. Stormwater runoff generated at such facilities is regulated by General Permit NCG120000. DWQ has therefore issued Halifax County Public Utilities certificate of coverage, NCG120040, which became effective on 11-01-2007 and expires on 10-31-2012. .�.e-rr-rn _...y���,,.,,.q..—..�t..,���i''"''.'��' i''-'.'......'.,"'"''"€..;"_'-''7.�---�,y'i'*'�'"",_,i"'� .T, Inspnection Summa fa , ,.,w gr:, , kwt�.::." -_ r- _d _ s �c h Yt,i _l s hwa ar ? e slew i : J»3JC a ss r Si a[i 7"t& e.Lit"�� A..�i The facility keeps excellent records and was in compliance with permit requirements: The facility has three Ash Monofill Stormwater outfalls (Mono SB-1, Mono SB-2, and Mono SB-3) with BMP's (stormwater retention ponds), SB1 (C&D), SB2 (old MSW) and a Borrow Pit Area Stormwater Outfall that were observed the day of the inspection. All outfalls at the site discharge to Brewers Creek. There was no discharge observed the day of the inspection with the exception of flow at the Mono SB-1 Internal Location. The permittee should be reminded that Ash Leachate is excluded from coverage under the NCG120000, and is not permitted for discharge. It appeared that flow from Mono SB-1 commingled with storm flow on site. For this reason, sampling of the NCG120040 Page 2 Internal Outfall MonoSB-1 (non -storm related) and sampling of Brewers Creek downstream at Justice Road was completed the day of the inspection. Halifax County is currently working with the Division of Waste Management and Engineering Firm -Richardson, Smith, Garner and Associates, Inc., to construct a leachate collection system for the three Ash Monofiils. Please understand discharge of stormmwater associated with the Ash Monofills is not covered by the NCG120000, and would require an NPDES wastewater discharge permit prior to discharge to surface waters. The sampling results are provided for your review. Please provide a written response to the following: 1. Please confirm the MonoSB-1 and Brewer Creek Downstream Sample Results have been reviewed and explain how coal ash leachate is currently being managed on the site to ensure that a discharge is not occurring to waters of the state. A discharge to waters of the state requires a NPDES wastewater discharge permit. 2. Please provide a schedule for the installation and completion of the Leachate Collection System, and indicate the ultimate disposal solution of the wastewater of the Leachate Collection System. A discharge to waters of the state requires a NPDES wastewater discharge -permit, A written response is re uired within 30 days of receipt of this inspection report. If you have questions about the inspection report, or if we can be of further assistance, please contact Autumn Romanski at 919-7914200. Sincerely, Autumn Romanski .

However, the permittee is required to respond to the DWQ Surface Water Protection Section Raleigh Regional Office inquiry on the status of the Leachate Collection System installation and completion, as internal outfalf sample results show the Leachate has the potential to negatively affect water quality and the NCG120000 does not cover this discharge. The sample results from Brewers Creek downstream exhibited reduction chemistry (Fe and Mn) and/or soil composition that appears to be consistent with other streams receiving C & D landfill discharges. However, the results showed the presence of Boron at 88 ug/L. This indicates potential for elevated levels of Boron, and possibly other (coal ash constitiuents: As, Li, Ni, Mo, Se, TI, or V) which were seen at elevated levels at the Mono-SB1 internal outfall. Hg is another constituient of concern as no Low Level Hg was obtained during the sample event.

This activity results in leachate. The permittee reported working with the Division of Waste Management and an Engineering Firm that was on -site the day of the inspection to design and complete a leachate treatment system. This area has had heavy rains and local wet weather pattern during the summer of 2012. The Mono-SB1 location contained flow the day of the inspection (leachate appeared to be commingling with stormflow). The internal Mono-SB1 location was sampled for characterization of the water. A sample was also taken downstream in Brewers Creek off Justice Rd. The results are attached to this report.

From: Nisely, Myrl Sent: Monday, August 08, 2011 11:33 AM To: Smith, Danny Subject: IFW: Halifax County Industrial Coal Ash Landfill From: Whaley, Mary Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2011 1:06 PM To: Smith, Danny Cc: Nisely, Myrl; Wilson, Donna; Shackelford, Dennis Subject: Halifax County Industrial Coal Ash Landfill Hey Danny- I have been having some concerns regarding the Halifax County Industrial Coal Ash Land fill. There is a riser in the 2Id cell which goes to a sump pump to bring any rain water coming down on the coal ash, down to a sediment basin which then flows out to a creek. I don't know if you are familiar at all with the site, but it was built as a lined coal ash landfill in the 1990's. Until a little over one and one half years ago, very little coal ash had been put at the site. In Jan. or February of last year, many of the structural fill sites around the county received NOV's from the Solid Waste Section, so at that time, the coal fired power plant in Weldon started sending all of their ash to the County Industrial Coal Ash LP. The sediment basin where the leachate from the coal ash goes, now has an obvious black sediment in it. This leachate then can seep through the rip rap at the drain pipe and flow to the nearby creek. There is not really any flow at this time, but with a significant rain event, I am concerned with the coal ash leachate that would be entering the creek. In talking to Myrle this AM, it sounds like there is a storm water permit for the landfill, but it sounds like it addressed mainly the C&D- nothing specific to the coal ash part of it. Is it possible for DWQ to check out the site, now that the coal ash is coming to the site in great quantities? Please let me know what you decide.

A copy of this letter is included in Attachment 1. This letter is sent to respond to the NOV letter and submit requested data. Please find each comment in italics and the associated response below. Comment No. 1 This permit was first issued in 1993, at which time analytical sampling of each stormwater outfall was required once a year for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Fecal Coliform, and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). There appeared to be no laboratory data for those parameters in the files. If a further search can show that sampling for those parameters was carried out, please contact this office with the new information. When this permit was renewed in 2007, analytical sampling was increased to 2x / year. Failure to test for these parameters is the biggest problem indentified in this inspection. Response No. 1 Halifax County Landfill personnel have been collecting samples for analysis of COD, TSS, and Fecal Coliform on an annual basis. Laboratory reports from 2006 through 2009 are included in Attachment 2 for your review. One sedimentation basin (Mono-SB-1) is sampled as this is the only sedimentation basin that receives stormwater from the landfill area. Two other sedimentation basins located around the coal ash monofill receive stormwater from areas outside the monofill which have been vegetatively stabilized. A map showing the sedimentation basins and indicating the sampling location is attached as Figure 1. Mr. nanny Smith October 12, 2009 Page 2 In order to insure future compliance, Halifax County hired Richardson Smith Gardner and Associates, Inc. (RSG) to perform stormwater training for Halifax County personnel. A copy of the training information is included in Attachment 3. During site training it was noted that prior samples had been collected from the pipe that discharges from the coal ash monofill into the sedimentation basin rather than the discharge from the sedimentation basin toward the surface water body. This confusion has�been rectified and future samples will be collected from the discharge pipe from the sedimentation basin. In the future, samples will also be collected twice per year. Comment No. 2 the site map indentifies three stormwater outfalls, SW-1, SW-2 and SW-3. Your facility also holds a Solid Waste permit for accepting fly ash, and that permit requires semi-annual sampling for a number of parameters. The outfalls have been analyzed for those parameters (a list of metals, mostly), but not for the three parameters noted in Item 1. It will be a simple matter to add COD, Fecal and TSS to the list of analytes from this point forward. Response No. 2 Sampling locations SW-1, SW-2 and SW-3 are not stormwater outfalls, but rather surface water sampling locations located upstream and downstream of the closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill unit. As such they are not appropriate locations for stormwater sampling. The future stormwater sampling location for the coal ash monofill will be from Mono-SIB-1 as shown on the attached Figure 1. Comment No. 3 DWQ requests that a copy of the data for years 2000 to the present for outfalls SW-1 through 3 be sent to RRO. The State is currently studying the relationship of coal ash storage and water quality in stormwater, so this data will be helpful in building this database. Response No. 3 As stated above, the three surface water sampling locations are associated with the closed MSW landfill unit and are therefore not appropriate for evaluating the impact of the lined coal ash monofill on stormwater. However, one surface water sample has been collected downstream of the coal ash monofill sedimentation basin discharge. Analytical data from this location have been previously submitted to NCDENR's Solid Waste Section on a semi-annual basis as a part of regular water quality monitoring for the site. Analytical data for this location from 2007 to present are included in Attachment 4 for your information. Mr. Danny Smith October 12, 2009 Page 3 Comment No. 4 The MSW portion of the landfill was closed in 1998, with gas release monitoring to continue for many more years. The rest of the site is used for two purposes, coal ash and Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials. C&D requires movement of dirt from borrow pits to cover the deposited materials. A division of Land Resource (DLR) (or local delegated program) E&S Control Plan for land disturbance of 1 acre or greater. Specifically, the General Permit (NCG010000) authorized the discharge of stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) in accordance with Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2H.0100. Accordingly, enclosed with this letter is a copy of the permit and inspection record keeping forms, and a technical bulletin. This permit requires a rain gauge to be maintained on site, rainfall data to be collected daily, weekly monitoring of all control measures, monitoring of all control measures within 24 hours of a 0.5 inch rain event or greater, record keeping, and full compliance with erosion control plan requirements. if you have any questions about the permit, record keeping requirements, or other issues please do not hesitate to call me. By the way, copies of every DWQ permit issued for the facility are to be maintained at the landfill. Response No. 4 There are currently two rock dams located adjacent to the borrow area (one to the north and one to the south). These will be visually inspected weekly and/or after a 0.5 inch rainfall event. The rock dam locations are shown on Figure 1. Additionally, a rain gauge is being installed so that daily rainfall measurements may be recorded. Comment No. 5 The secondary containment for the large fuel tank has a drain valve. The NCG 12 permit requires a lock of some kind (padlock, or cable plus padlock) to safeguard against unauthorized release of water and spilled petroleum to the ground. Please add a lock. Response No. 5 A locking valve has been added to the secondary containment drain valve to prevent unauthorized release of water.

Box 70 Halifax, NC 27839 Subject: Notice of Violation 06�'5� Case No. NOV-2009-PC-43-5-5- Compliance Evaluation Inspection Stormwater Permit NCG120040 Halifax County Landfill, Liles Road Halifax County Dear Mr. Garriss: Dee Freeman - Secretary,,, On July 21, 2009 Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional Office carried out a stormwater inspection for the above permit. Your help was essential and was appreciated. This was the first time DWQ inspected this facility. See the attached inspection checklist. A number of issues emerged as discussed below. Please note, this letter is structured to give guidance for the activities required henceforth: l . This permit was first issued in 1993, at which time analytical sampling of each stormwater outfall was required once a year for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Fecal Coliform, and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). There appeared to be no laboratory data for those parameters in the files. If a further search can show that sampling for those parameters was carried out, please contact this office with the new information. When this permit was renewed in 2007, analytical - sampling was increased to 2x / year. Failure to test for these parameters is the biggest problem identified in this inspection. 2. The site map indentifies three stormwater outfalls, SW-1, SW-2 and SW-3. Your facility also holds a Solid Waste permit for accepting flyash, and that permit requires semi-annual sampling for a number of parameters. The outfalls have been analyzed for those parameters (a list of metals, mostly), but not for the three parameters noted in Item 1. It will be a simple matter to add COD, Fecal and TSS to the list of analytes from this point forward. 3. DWQ requests that a copy of the data for years 2000 to the present for outfalls SW -I through 3 be sent to PRO. The State is currently studying the relationship of coal ash storage and water quality in stormwater, so this data will be helpful in building this database.

The MSW portion of the landfill was closed in 1998, with gas release monitoring to continue for many more years. The rest of the site is used for two purposes, coal ash and Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials. C&D requires movement of dirt from borrow pits to cover the deposited materials. A Division of Land Resource file,review confirmed that this facility has an active Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. A Construction Stonnwater General Permit (NCGO 10000) is issued upon the approval of an E&S Control Plan. This permit applies to projects that receive a Division of Land Resources (DLR) (or local delegated program) E&S Control Plan for land disturbance of 1 acre or greater. Specifically, the General Permit (NCGO10000) authorizes the discharge of stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) in accordance with Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2H.0100 Accordingly, enclosed with this letter is a copy of the permit and inspection record keeping forms, and a technical bulletin. This permit requires a rain gauge to be maintained on site, rainfall data to be collected daily, weekly monitoring of all control measures, monitoring of all control measures within 24 hours of a 0.5 inch rain event or greater, record keeping, and full compliance with erosion control plan requirements. If you have any questions about the permit, record keeping requirements, or other issues please do not hesitate to call me. By the way, copies of every DWQ permit issued for the facility are to be maintained at the landfill. 5. The secondary containment for the large fuel tank has a drain valve. The NCG12 permit requires a lock of some kind (padlock, or cable plus padlock) to safeguard against unauthorized release of water and spilled petroleum to the ground. Please add a lock. 6.

The outfalls have not been sampled for COD, Fecal Coliform or TSS, but this inspection revealed that the presence of retention ponds and long vegetated swales leading to the outfalls will lower TSS to satisfactory levels. Receiving only inorganic materials in the active sites suggests that COD can be expected to be low, as well. Of greater concern may be the land disturbance resulting from moving dirt from borrow pits to cover C&D. Soon Land Quality will issue NCGO10000 with their next site inspection, so the requirements of that permit may better suit the realities at this facililty.

RICHARDSON & ASSOCIATES Engineering and Geological October 16, 2003 Ms. Aisha Lau NCDENR Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 RE: NPDES Storm Water Permit COC # NCG 120040 Halifax County Solid Waste Facility Halifax, North Carolina Dear Ms. Lau: Halifax County currently operates a Coal Ash Monofill landfill which only accepts coal ash from a local power plant. This landfill has a cun,ent storm water permit (NCG120040). The entire project site is shown on the attached Figure 1. There are four sedimentation basins associated with this landfill. Two of these sedimentation basins are shown on Figure 2. The discharge pipe for the uppermost sedimentation basin was originally constructed to go underneath the lower (larger) sedimentation basin (Figure 2). Since the original construction, a new discharge pipe was installed to circumvent the lower sedimentation basin. The old discharge pipe was disconnected from the upper sedimentation basin, however it was not removed, nor was it blocked off at the discharge end. On September 18th, 2003, during Hurricane Isabel apparently a breach formed in the remaining section of this old pipe underneath the lower sedimentation basin. The approximate location of the breach is shown on Figure 2. An inspection of the stream area adjacent to the discharge pipe indicates no evidence of coal ash sediments being discharged into the stream. However, water was likely discharged by the breach. The amount of water that may have been discharged is unknown. Due to water in the sedimentation basin the breach was not noticed until Saturday September 20"'. The following week workers fixed the breach in the pipe and filled the discharge end of the pipe with rubble and concrete to prevent future discharges from this abandoned pipe. If you have any questions require further information, please contact me at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, G. N. Richardson and Associates, Inc. CqXIJ-7 mil, JS' 4L- oan A. Smyth, P.G.
