North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 15A - Environmental Quality › Chapter 13 - SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT › Subchapter B - SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT › Section .1600 - REQUIREMENTS FOR MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE LANDFILL FACILITIES (MSWLFS) › Section 13B .1631 - GROUNDWATER MONITORING SYSTEMS

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) A
				  groundwater monitoring system shall be installed that consists of no less than
				  one background and three downgradient wells installed at locations and depths
				  that yield groundwater samples from the uppermost aquifer that:
(1) Represent the quality of the background
				  groundwater that has not been affected by leakage from the unit. Determination
				  of background groundwater quality shall be based on sampling of a well or wells
				  that are hydraulically upgradient of the waste management area. However, the
				  determination of background water quality may include sampling of wells that
				  are not hydraulically upgradient of the waste management area where:
(A) hydrogeologic conditions do not allow the
				  owner or operator to determine which wells are hydraulically upgradient;
				  or
(B) hydrogeologic conditions do
				  not allow the owner or operator to place a well in a hydraulically upgradient
				  location; or
(C) sampling at other
				  wells will provide an indication of background groundwater quality that is as
				  representative as that provided by the upgradient well(s); and

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) The
				  owner or operator shall describe consistent sampling and analysis procedures
				  designed to ensure monitoring results that provide an accurate representation
				  of groundwater quality at the background and downgradient wells in the water
				  quality monitoring plan approved in accordance with Rule .1631(f) of this
				  Section. The plan shall include procedures and techniques for sample
				  collection; sample preservation and shipment; analytical procedures; chain of
				  custody control; and quality assurance and quality control.
(b) The groundwater monitoring program shall
				  include sampling and analytical methods for groundwater sampling that measure
				  monitored constituents and other monitoring parameters in groundwater
				  samples.
(c) The sampling
				  procedures and frequency shall be protective of human health and the
				  environment.
(d) Each time
				  groundwater is sampled, groundwater elevations shall be measured in each well
				  prior to purging. The owner or operator shall determine the rate and direction
				  of groundwater flow each time groundwater is sampled. Groundwater elevations in
				  wells that monitor the same waste management area shall be measured within a
				  24-hour period of time to avoid temporal variations in groundwater flow that
				  could preclude accurate determination of groundwater flow rate and direction.
				  The owner or operator shall determine groundwater elevation and flow as
				  follows:
(1) To determine accurate
				  groundwater elevations for each monitoring well, the wells shall have been
				  surveyed. If required by G.S. 89C, a licensed professional land surveyor shall
				  survey the wells. [Note: The North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers
				  and Surveyors has determined, via a letter dated July 16, 2010, that the
				  surveying pursuant to this Paragraph constitutes practicing surveying under
				  G.S. 89C.] The survey of the wells shall conform to the following levels of
				  accuracy:
(A) the horizontal location to the
				  nearest 0.1 foot;
(B) the vertical
				  control for the ground surface elevation to the nearest 0.01 foot;
				  and
(C) the vertical control for
				  the measuring reference point on the top of the inner well casing to the
				  nearest 0.01 foot.

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a)
				  Detection monitoring shall be conducted at MSWLF units at all groundwater
				  monitoring wells that are part of the detection monitoring system as
				  established in the approved water quality monitoring plan. As provided for in
				  40 CFR
				  258, the detection monitoring program shall
				  include monitoring for the constituents listed in Appendix I of
				  40 CFR
				  258.
(b) The monitoring frequency for all Appendix
				  I detection monitoring constituents shall be no less than semiannual during the
				  active life of the facility and during closure and the post-closure period. To
				  establish the baseline, no less than four independent samples from each
				  background and downgradient monitoring well shall be collected within a
				  six-month period and analyzed for constituents listed in Appendix I of
				  40 CFR
				  258, with no less than one sample collected
				  from each new monitoring well before waste placement in each new cell or phase.
				  No less than one sample from each background and downgradient monitoring well
				  shall be collected and analyzed during subsequent semiannual sampling
				  events.
(c) The Division may
				  approve an alternate frequency, no less than annually, for repeated sampling
				  and analysis for constituents required by Paragraph (b) of this Rule, during
				  the active life and post-closure care of the unit considering the following
				  factors:
(1) lithology of the aquifer and
				  unsaturated zone;
(2) hydraulic
				  conductivity of the aquifer and unsaturated zone;
(3) groundwater flow rates;
(4) minimum distance between the upgradient
				  edge of the MSWLF unit and the downgradient monitoring well screened
				  interval;
(5) resource value of the
				  aquifer; and
(6) nature, fate, and
				  transport of any detected constituents.

				  90 days of finding that one or more Appendix II constituents exceeded, for two
				  consecutive sampling events, either the groundwater quality standards or IMACs
				  established in
				  15A NCAC
				  02L .0202, the groundwater protection
				  standards established in accordance with Rule .1634(b) of this Section, or an
				  approved background value, the owner or operator shall initiate assessment of
				  corrective action measures. Such an assessment shall be completed within 120
				  days.
(b) The owner or operator
				  shall continue to monitor in accordance with the approved assessment monitoring
				  program.
(c) The owner or operator
				  shall analyze the effectiveness of potential corrective measures in meeting all
				  of the requirements and objectives of the remedy as described under Rule .1636
				  of this Section. The owner or operator shall address the following, as provided
				  for in 40 CFR
				  258:
(1) the
				  performance, reliability, ease of implementation, and potential impacts of
				  potential remedies, including safety impacts, cross-media impacts, and control
				  of exposure to any residual contamination;
(2) the time required to begin and complete
				  the remedy;
(3) the costs of remedy
				  implementation; and
(4) the
				  institutional requirements such as State and local permit requirements or other
				  environmental or public health requirements that may affect implementation of
				  the remedy(s).
