AREAS OF NOTE

1) Waste appears to extend beyond the property boundary of the site on the northeast

border, extending onto tax parcel 6594-00-84-4729 owned by Troy Lumber Sales

Corporation.

2) There is evidence of human activity on the Site and Disposal Area as indicated by a

camping trailer to the east of the Site, deer and animal stands, a logging road with recent

tire tracks along the northern boundary of the Site, and a posted “No Dumping” sign at

the Site entrance.

3) Residences are located within 1,000 feet of the Disposal Area and are not served by a

public water supply.

4) Exposed debris consisted of tires, white goods, glass, metal, plastic, concrete, rusted 55-

gallon drums, paint cans, empty storage tanks, and oil containers.

5) Landfill slope approximately 10 feet high was observed on the central portion of the

Disposal Area.

6) Hummocky topography was observed on the northern portion of the Disposal Area within

the kudzu and along the perimeters of the southern portion of the Disposal Area. Field

observations made on the general topography of the Disposal Area indicated that the

northern portion is up to 10 feet above the natural ground surface.

7) Erosional gullies were observed within the kudzu on the northern portion of the Disposal

Area.

SITE SUMMARY

1.0 SITE CONDITIONS

This section discusses the observed conditions on the Site, as defined as the properties (Tax

Parcels 7504-00-04-0650 and 6594-00-84-4729) on which the Disposal Area is located. The

Disposal Area is defined as the area observed or reported to have been used for waste placement

or burial. The boundary (perimeter) of this area is the observed limit of waste material based on

field observations and the inferred limit based on a review of historical aerial photographs. The

site visit was conducted on February 3, 2010. Photographs illustrating site conditions are

included in Appendix D.

The Site is located in Montgomery County, near Mount Gilead, NC. Driving directions to the

Site from the intersection of I-73/US-220 and NC Highway 24/27 are as follows:

1. Proceed west on NC Highway 24/27 and drive approximately 11.4 miles.

2. Turn left onto NC Highway 109 South and drive approximately 6.2 miles.

3. Turn right onto Hearne Farm Road and continue west for approximately 1.2 miles. The

entrance to the Site is on the left side of the road. A posted “No Dumping” sign on a

lockable cable wire gate is located on the gravel driveway.

1.1 On-site Structures

No on-site buildings or other structures were observed during the site visit. A camping trailer

was observed outside the northwestern border of the Site (Photo 3).

1.2 Current Site Usage

According to Mr. Jerry Allen, Troy Lumber Sales Corporation, the Site is no longer used by the

Town of Mount Gilead for disposal. He stated that logging operations no longer occur on his

property.

1.3 On-Site Water Supply Wells and Intakes

No on-site water supply wells were observed on the Site during the site visit. No water meters or

fire hydrants were observed on the Site during the site visit.


Surface water features were not observed on the Site or Disposal Area.

1.5 Disposal Area

Access to the Disposal Area is from Hearne Farm Road along a gravel driveway through a

lockable cable gate (Photo 1). The Disposal Area occupies 6.9 acres based on the estimated

Disposal Area perimeter shown on Figures 1 through 3.

The ground surface of the Disposal Area slopes generally toward the south. A comparison of the

topography from the 1956 USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle map (10 foot contours,

based on 1954 aerial photography) with the 2005 topographic map from NCDOT (4 foot

contours), indicates that up to 10 feet of disposal material has been placed on the northern

portion of the Disposal Area. The 2005 topographic map shows a slope along the central portion

of the Disposal Area as indicated by the close contour lines. The LiDAR Shaded Relief map

(Figure 5) indicates anomalous depressions in the northern portion of the Disposal Area. The

depth of waste is estimated based on a comparison of topographic maps of different vintages

constructed using different methods. The reported years of operation were from 1948 to 1973, so

the 1956 USGS map may have represented the land surface during the disposal period.

Differences between elevations on the maps may reflect actual elevation changes or may be

apparent differences due to the different map making methods. The elevation comparisons are

approximate and differences in scale and methods of mapping are not sufficient to evaluate some

changes in topography.

GPS coordinates were taken of the Disposal Area perimeter. The approximate Disposal Area

perimeter is illustrated on the figures and on aerial photographs in Appendix E. A table of GPS

coordinates for the Site entrance and the Site perimeter is presented in Table 1. The Disposal

Area perimeter location is approximate and is based on visual observations made at the time of

the site visit and interpretation of aerial photographs. Figures 4 and 5 show LiDAR shaded relief

superimposed on the Disposal Area.

1.6 Disposal Area Conditions

The Disposal Area was covered with kudzu, leaves, briars, and pine trees and deciduous trees

about four to ten inches in diameter. Exposed debris observed on the Disposal Area consisted of

tires, white goods, glass, scrap metal, plastic, concrete, rusted 55-gallon drums, paint cans, empty

storage tanks, and oil containers. Field observations indicated an approximate 10 foot high

landfill slope from natural ground. The landfill slope was observed along the western and central

portion of the Disposal Area with exposed debris along the bottom of the slope (Photo 4).

Erosional gullies about 5 to 10 inches across were observed within the kudzu on the northern

portion of the Disposal Area. Field observations along the southern perimeters of the Disposal

Area indicated hummocky topography with soil and exposed debris consisting of white goods,

scrap metal, glass, tires, and rusted 55-gallon drums along the northeast, southeast, and

southwest perimeters of the Site. An area of apparently undisturbed land was surrounded by the

hummocky topography (Photo 12) within the central southern part of the Site (Figure 2).

The observed Disposal Area was on multiple tax parcels, Parcel Numbers 7504-00-04-0650 and

6594-00-84-4729. The perimeter of the Disposal Area was visually evident. The northwestern

portion of the Disposal Area extended onto Parcel No. 6594-00-84-4729.

Hummocky topography was observed on the northern portion of the Disposal Area and along the

perimeters of the southern portion of the Site. No notable erosion, depressions, offensive odors,

stained or discolored soils, or slope failures were observed during the site visit.

1.7 Evidence of Human Activity

During the site visit evidence of recent human activity consisted of a camping trailer outside the

Site perimeter, deer stands on the northern portion of the Disposal Area, and recent vehicle

tracks on a dirt roadway along the northern perimeter of the Site.

1.8 Potential Landfill Gas Migration Pathways

There were no visible or evident potential gas migration pathways such as stormwater drain

systems, underground utilities, septic systems, or drain fields on the Disposal Area. Animal

burrows were observed within the kudzu in the northern portion of the Disposal Area.

1.9 Physical Barriers

Site access is provided by a gravel driveway from Hearne Farm Road. Site access for vehicles is

blocked by a lockable cable gate across the driveway. Physical barriers on the northern portion of

the Disposal Area consisted of the kudzu and landfill slope. Physical barriers were not observed

on the eastern, western, and southern perimeters of the Site.

1.10 Other Pertinent Information
