Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> March 5 , 2009 <br /> Approved April 2, 2009 <br /> Ford states that there is a certain amount of time to submit the corrective action plan <br /> to the State and it is publicly available to look over . You will see everything in it that <br /> we' ve talked about. <br /> Heaney states that the second question deals with the groundwater flow . Some of the <br /> original reports that were released or done in the 90' s by Draper Aden show that there <br /> was different groundwater flow for the south facility versus the north facility . It was <br /> a little different than what you show . Historically over time are there reasons for <br /> changes in groundwater flow? <br /> Ford states that the reason is when you get two different people to map two different <br /> areas and where they come together things don' t always line up . Historically we <br /> prepare a map of the north and then later prepare a second map for the south . <br /> Recently we' ve done one map that includes the north, south and C &D as one <br /> hydrogeologic unit. <br /> Heaney states that you indicated that most of the [ground] water follows the surface <br /> water trajectory which is to the east, but there is also a stream which seems to <br /> originate near the landfill and goes to the west. You seem to indicate that boundary <br /> lines are the best line where everything below that dotted line would go west and <br /> everything north and east of that line would go east. It seems that residents in the <br /> community might know the lay of the land more and understand it' s not just a <br /> mountain where streams flow one way or the other but there is more of a flat area so I <br /> am confused and my sense is other residents are [also] confused about the message <br /> about groundwater flow . <br /> Ford states that regardless of which side of Eubanks you look at the groundwater <br /> unequivocally is not flowing from the landfill, either landfill, towards Rogers Rd . It is <br /> all moving to the east, northeast. There may be variation in detail but essentially it is <br /> all going *n that general direction. If I lived along Rogers Rd . I would not be <br /> concerned about [this] . If I lived on Millhouse I would be interested in finding out <br /> more about what is going on . <br /> Heany asks when this report will be posted and made public . <br /> it can be posted on the County web page . <br /> Wilson replies that <br /> Dayton asks how long do you continue to monitor for contaminants in years ahead . <br /> Ford states that even if it is clean and you find nothing, you have to go 30 years post <br /> closure . Now if we see something it will be monitored until it' s clean, by which I <br /> mean it is less than the NC Groundwater Protection Standards, in all wells for at least <br /> three years . And then the State says you can terminate post-closure care . There is a <br /> 5 <br />
