Section 1 Summary Report The County has conducted gas monitoring for the past four years. The only monitoring wells/probes to have shown exceedances of regulatory limits have been in the area of the scalehouse. As soon as evidence was found that methane gas concentrations exceeded regulatory limits in this area, the County condemned an adjacent two acre tract with a home and relocated the occupants. 1.8 Schedule for Fulfilling New Landfill Design Standards Cabarrus County is currently conducting a detailed evaluation of three potential landfill expansion sites adjacent to the existing landfill. A final report, which will recommend a preferred site, is expected to be presented to the Cabarrus County Commissioners in May. At that time, a decision will be made as to whether to move ahead with permitting and design of a new landfill designed in accordance with the new landfill design standards. Should the County proceed with the landfil] expansion, the County des[res to have a new lined landfill in operation by September, 1996. In order to meet that goal, the County has established the project schedule presented below: Submittal of Site Study January 1, 1995 · Submittal of Permit to Construct Application July 1, 1995 · Issue Notice-to-Proceed for Construction January 1, 1996 Begin Operations of New Landfill September 1, 1996 Resource Value of the Underlying Aquifer The resource value of the aquifer underlying the Cabarrus County Landfill is rated as moderately high given that all of the surrounding residences utilize individual wells. It is unlikely, however, that any of these wells are screened in the surficial aquifer. Also, there is a stream running through the center of the site. Disposal areas on either side of this stream are upgradient of the stream. It is probable, therefore, that any release from either disposal unit would be controlled by this ground water discharge feature. CDM Camp Dresser & McKee 1-4
