Attachment 2 - Plan of Operation

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 8
SECTION 3 – PLAN OF OPERATION

This Plan of Operation has been written to address the requirements of UAC R315-302-2 and
briefly describes the operations of the NVL facility.

The purpose of the Plan of Operation is to provide the Manager, Foreman, Operators and
Attendants with standard procedures for day-to-day operation of the landfill. A copy of the
final permit application (including the Plan of Operation) and Landfill Permit (issued by the
DWMRC) will be kept at the landfill for reference.

As previously stated, the function of the NVL is to provide for the responsible disposal of
MSW generated by the citizens of Cache County. The landfill is subject to and will be
operated in accordance with applicable sections of the Utah Solid Waste Permitting and
Management Committee Rules, Utah Administrative Code (R315-301 through 320).
3.1 SCHEDULE OF CONSTRUCTION

Construction of the NVL facility started in 2015 with the design and construction of a paved
access road from SR 142 near Clarkston to the NVL site. Concurrent with the development
and construction of the access road, site civil work started at the NVL site. Site development
work included cell excavation, site road construction, storm water structures and general
site earthwork. Following the construction of the road and preliminary site development,
the first lined landfill cell and associated leachate pond was constructed during the 2017
construction season with the second lined landfill cell being completed in October of 2019
with a second lined leachate pond being constructed in August of 2020.

The near-term development sequence envisioned for the NVL is as follows:
• Excavation of Cell 3 is ongoing for the duration of 2022.
• Installation of drain mat in leachate pond / Cell 2 – fall of 2022.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 9
• Construction of Cell 3 liner – summer of 2023

The construction of additional cells at the NVL site will be performed as needed but are
anticipated to occur every 5 or 6 years moving forward.

Site soils will be utilized as the primary cover materials for daily, intermediate, and final
cover construction as well as for general embankment construction. With the exception of
access road surfaces, the NVL is designed such that no import soil will be required for site
development or landfill operations, all required soils will be available on Logan City property
associated with the NVL operations.
3.2 WASTE STREAM MANAGEMENT - DESCRIPTION OF HANDLING PROCEDURES
3.2.1 General
An effective waste control program is designed to detect and deter attempts to dispose of
hazardous and other unacceptable wastes and has been implemented at the NVL. The
program is designed to protect the health and safety of employees as well as to protect
against the contamination of the environment.

The landfill is not open for public disposal (with the exception of occasional special waste
loads) and will be accessed via locked gate by landfill employees only. Signs are posted at the
landfill entrance clearly indicating that the facility is owned and operated by Logan City
(along with contact information for the City) with signage indicating that the facility is a
private facility.

Most of the waste being delivered to the NVL is processed through the transfer station.
Initial processing at the transfer station will include the initial wast e screening and weighing
of the MSW. Occasionally it may be beneficial for the City to haul waste collected in the
northwest portion of the County directly to the NVL facility. If that is the case, waste will be

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 10
delivered directly to the NVL facility where it will be weighed on site and screened for
improper waste at the site by an Operator, Attendant, or Inspector.

Logan City personnel’s efforts to deter disposal of hazardous and unacceptable waste begins
with the collection of MSW. Collection truck drivers are instructed to observe all waste they
collect and screen the waste as it is collected. All waste delivered to Logan City facilities stop
at a scalehouse to be weighed where the scale attendant inquires about the nature of each
load as part of the weighing transaction. Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste is
directed to the Logan Landfill while all MSW is processed through the transfer station and
delivered to the NVL.

At the scale, any vehicle suspected of carrying unacceptable materials (liquid waste, sludges,
or hazardous waste) is prevented from entering the transfer station unless the driver can
provide evidence that the waste is acceptable for disposal at a MSW facility. Logan City
reserves the right to refuse service to any suspect load. Vehicles carrying unacceptable
materials will be required to exit the site without discharging their load and the Bear River
Health Department will be informed about the incident. If a load is suspected of containing
unacceptable materials (but not rejected at the scalehouse), the following information will
be recorded: date, time, name of the hauler, driver, telephone number of hauler, vehicle
license plate, and source of the waste. The scalehouse attendant will then notify the transfer
station personnel that a load is suspect, and that load will be further inspected as the hauler
deposits the load on the transfer station tipping floor. If the load is acceptable to be sent to
the NVL it will be loaded into transfer trucks, if not it will be loaded back into the haulers
vehicle and rejected for disposal. Appendix D contains typical forms to be utilized to
document waste inspections.

If a discharged load contains inappropriate or unaccept able material, the discharger will be
required to reload the material and remove it from the transfer station. If the discharger is
not immediately identified, the area where the unacceptable material was discharged will be

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 11
cordoned off. Unacceptable material will be moved to a designated area for identification
and preparation for proper disposal but not transferred to the NVL.

If waste delivered to the NVL is found to be unacceptable upon waste screening performed
at the landfill, the area where the unacceptable waste is located will be cordoned off.
Unacceptable material will be moved to a designated area within the lined landfill cell for
identification and prepared for proper disposal.
3.2.2 Waste Acceptance
Waste delivered to the NVL will be primarily through the transfer station where the bulk of
the waste acceptance activity will take place. Logan City currently uses a software package
entitled "SMS Turbo" in the scalehouse to record information about incoming loads being
disposed of at the Logan Landfill or at the NVL. The program records data like weights, waste
type, account information and amount charged. With this program Logan City personnel are
able to track all incoming waste as well as bill and receive payment from all customers.

Currently a vehicle with waste stops on the scale; the scale operator identifies the load as to
whether it is a commercial hauler, general public or private individual with an account. The
proper codes are entered into the computer identifying the material, hauler, and account
number. All loads larger than a pickup or a single axle trailer are weighed and charged
accordingly. This information is printed on a two-part ticket; the customer receives one copy
and one copy is saved for use by the Manager, or any other employee who has
responsibilities relating to the landfill that may need information from these tickets.

Solid waste transaction tickets are ultimately stored at the Logan City Environmental Center.
All transactions are backed up on a nightly basis to the Logan City’s computer network. Data
extracted from the scale house computer is used to create a portion of the daily landfill
record. Any or all transactions may be retrieved as necessary.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 12
A remotely controlled scale is installed at the NVL to weigh the city trucks as they enter the
facility. Since the only vehicles that haul to the NVL are city trucks (or special wastes
processed at the transfer station), the information tracked will be limited to the day of
disposal, vehicle hauling the load and the weight of the load only if the load has not been
weighed through the transfer station. The tare weight will be periodically determined for
each of the City collection trucks that will potentially be hauling directly so the weight of
waste hauled to the NVL can readily be documented.

For waste that may be delivered directly to the NV L (waste in collection trucks operating in
the northwest portion of the County) waste screening will be done as needed or scheduled
according to the procedures outlined in Section 3.3 Waste Inspection. No open burning will
be allowed in association with the NVL nor will smoking be allowed anywhere on the landfill.
3.2.3 Waste Disposal
Once waste is delivered to the site, the waste will be dumped at the toe of the work face
when possible and spread up the slope in one to two foot lifts, keeping the slope at a
maximum of three to one (horizontal to vertical) configuration.

Work face dimensions will be kept narrow enough to minimize blowing litter and reduce the
amount of material needed for daily cover. Typically, the width of the working face will be
two to four times the width of the compactor blade (30 - 60 feet). The narrow working face
will help to facilitate complete compaction of the waste and keeps the width narrow enough
to minimize the amount of daily cover required.

Typically, the compactor will be operated with the blade facing uphill. Equipment operations
across the slope will be avoided to minimize the potential of equipment tipping over. In
addition to safety concerns, a toe of slope to crest of slope working orientation provides the
following benefits:

• Minimizes blowing litter problems

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 13
• Increases equipment compactive effectiveness
• Increased visibility for waste placement and compaction, and
• More uniform waste distribution.

Grade stakes or other grade control measures will be used if necessary to control cell height
and top surface grade. The top of the interim surfaces will typically range from 2 to 5
percent to promote runoff within the cell which will be directed to the leachate pond . The
working heights of each cell ranges from 10 to 15 feet depending upon operational access
considerations.

Wastes is compacted by making three to five passes up and down the slope. Compaction
reduces litter, differential settlement, and the quantities of cover soil needed. Compaction
also extends the life of the landfill, reduces unit costs, and leaves fewer voids to help reduce
vector problems. Care will be taken that no holes are left in the compacted waste. All voids
will be filled with additional waste as necessary.

Intermediate cover is applied to all areas of the active cell that will not receive additional
waste within 30 days. Intermediate cover will consist of an additional 12 inches of soil being
placed over the 6 inches of daily cover soil.
3.2.4 Special Wastes
3.2.4.1 Used Oil and Batteries
The existing Logan Landfill is a "Used Oil Recycle Center". When a customer has used oil to
dispose of, they fill out the form "UTAH DIYer USED OIL LOG" provided by UDEQ. A report
generated from this form is turned in quarterly stating the amount of oil deposited a nd the
customer’s names. Waste oil will continue to be accepted at the Logan Landfill. No used oil
will be transferred to or accepted at the NVL.

The existing Logan Landfill provides an area to collect and store used batteries and will
continue to do as part of the operation of the transfer station. Batteries are stored until a

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 14
sufficient number is accumulated to facilitate delivery to a recycler. No batteries will be
transferred to or accepted at the NVL.
3.2.4.2 Bulky Wastes
White goods are currently accepted at the Logan Landfill and are separated for recycling. All
appliances containing refrigerants are segregated in a separate area, with refrigerant being
removed by a qualified contractor. Bulky waste (i.e., furniture, appliances) will continue to
be accepted at the Logan Landfill as part of the transfer station operation. Some bulky waste
will be transferred to NVL through the transfer station while other bulky waste will be
recycled as appropriate.

Used cars will not be accepted at the NVL. Persons seeking to dispose of used car bodies will
be directed to take the car to local recyclers: Valley Metal Recycling, Dd Auto Salvage Inc., or
Western Metals located near Plymouth, Utah.
3.2.4.3 Tires
The existing Logan Landfill charges for and accepts tires from the general public. Commercial
tire outlets are prohibited from disposing of tires at the landfill. All tires are stored in a
designated tire storage area. When sufficient quantities of tires are collected, a tire recycler
is called, and the tires are removed from the facility for recycling. Tires will continue to be
accepted at the Logan Landfill as part of the transfer station operations. However, no tires
will be transferred to or accepted at the NVL.
3.2.4.4 Dead Animals
Dead animals are currently accepted as part of the transfer station operation. Dead animals
are processed according to the size of the animal. Small animals will be incorporated into the
general waste mass and processed directly into transfer trucks. Large animals (horses and
cows) may be processed into a designated roll off container at the transfer station or
arrangements may be made with Logan City staff to direct ly haul the dead animal to the
NVL.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 15
NVL personnel incorporates the dead animals into the working face of the landfill. The
incorporation of the carcasses into the landfill is accomplished by pushing up the toe of the
face and depositing the animal in the bottom of the toe; waste is then pushed over the top
of the animal.
3.2.4.5 Asbestos Waste
The Logan Landfill is permitted to accept asbestos waste. Asbestos waste is handled,
transported, and disposed in a manner that will not permit the release of asbes tos fibers
into the air and that complies with Sections R315-315-2 of the State regulation. No
transporter or disposal facility shall accept friable asbestos waste unless the waste has been
adequately wetted and containerized. The Logan Landfill will continue to accept asbestos
waste as part of the transfer station operations until an asbestos cell is constructed as part
of the NVL operations.
3.2.4.6 Grease Pit and Animal Waste By-Products
Waste from restaurant grease traps and slaughterhouse by-products is accepted at the NVL
after processing at the transfer station. These wastes require 24 to 48 hour notice before
disposal and require the hauler to initially transport the wastes to the transfer station for
weighing. Transfer station employees notify the NVL personnel that a special waste load will
be delivered directly to the NVL. The transporter will then haul the wastes directly to the
NVL and present a copy of the weight ticket from the transfer station and discharge the load
as directed. If the waste passes the paint filter test, it will be at the toe of the working face
and immediately covered. If excess liquid is present in the waste, the waste will be unloaded
on a specially prepared drying pad within the lined cell. The waste will remain on the drying
pad until the moisture has been sufficiently reduced to pass the paint filter test. Once the
waste passes the paint filter test, the waste will be deposited at the toe of the working face
where it will be immediately covered.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 16
3.3 WASTE INSPECTION
3.3.1 Landfill Spotting
Learning to identify and exclude prohibited and hazardous waste is necessary for the safe
operation of all landfills. The Operators (or Attendants) assigned to the NVL will be required to
receive initial and periodic hazardous waste inspection training. Certificates of initial and annual
training will be kept in the personnel files of the landfill personnel.

Hazardous wastes have either physical or chemical characteristics that could harm human
health or the environment. A waste is considered hazardous if it falls into either of two
categories: 1) a listed waste, or 2) a characteristic waste. Hazardous wastes will not be accepted
at the NVL. Logan City has a household hazardous waste exclusion and collection program
operated as part of the Logan Landfill.

Small quantity generators (<100 kg/month) and household quantities are exempt from
hazardous waste regulations. However, hazardous wastes are most likely to enter the landfill
mixed in with common household waste being processed through the transfer station. Public
education and periodic waste screening are the tools to be utilized to minimize the amount of
inadvertent hazardous waste entering the NVL.
3.3.2 Random Waste Screening
Although most of the waste to be disposed of at the NVL will be processed through the transfer
station (including waste screening), random inspections of incoming loads will be conducted
according to the schedule established by the landfill management. A portion of the waste
collected from the northern portions of the county may be hauled directly to the site by Logan
City collection trucks once a week. More than one percent of the vehicles coming in the landfill
on that day will be selected randomly for inspection according to the schedule. If frequent
violations are detected, additional random checks will be scheduled at the discretion of the
landfill Manager with waste screening results shared with the transfer station management.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 17

If a suspicious or unknown waste is encountered, the Operator will proceed with the waste
screening as follows:

• The driver of the vehicle containing the suspect material will be directed to the waste
screening area within the lined cell.
• The waste screening form will be completed by the Operator (or Attendant if utilized at
the NVL) and placed on file.
• Protective gear will be worn (leather gloves, steel-toed boots, goggles, coveralls, and
hard hat) while waste is screened.
• The suspect material will be spread out with the compactor or hand tools and visually
examined.
• Suspicious marking or materials, like the ones listed below, will be investigated further:

o Containers labeled hazardous
o Material with unusual amounts of moisture
o Biomedical (red bag) waste
o Unidentified powders, smoke, or vapors
o Liquids, sludges, pastes, or slurries
o Asbestos or asbestos contaminated materials
o Batteries
o Other wastes not accepted by the landfill

The landfill management will be called if unstable wastes that cannot be handled safely or
radioactive wastes are discovered or suspected.
3.3.3 Removal of Hazardous or Prohibited Waste
Should hazardous or prohibited wastes be discovered during random waste screening or during
tipping, the waste will be removed from the landfill as follows:

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 18

The waste is loaded back on the hauler’s vehicle (Logan City truck). The landfill management
will arrange to have the waste transported to the proper disposal site and attempt to locate the
waste origin. The landfill management will also inform Bear River Health Department about the
incident.

A record of the removal of all hazardous or prohibited wastes will be kept in the site
operational records.
3.3.4 Hazardous or Prohibited Waste Discovered After the Fact
If hazardous or prohibited wastes are discovered in the landfill, the following procedure will be
used to remove them:

• Access to the area will be restricted.
• The landfill management will be immediately notified.
• The Operator will remove the waste from the working face if it is safe to do so.
• The waste will be isolated in a secure area of the lined landfill and the area cordoned
off.
• Logan City’s Hazardous Materials Team (HazMat) will be notified.
• The Bear River Health Department will also be notified

The DWMRC and the generator (if known) will be notified within 24 hours of the discovery. The
generator (if known) of the hazardous will be responsible for the proper cleanup,
transportation, and disposal of the waste.
3.3.5 Notification Procedures

3.4 FACILITY MONITORING AND INSPECTION
3.4.1 Ground Water
The NVL staff will comply with all aspects of the required ground water monitoring
requirements as referenced in R315-308. The Ground Water Monitoring Plan includes
sampling and analysis plans and frequency of sampling indicated to meet the regulatory
requirements for the monitoring of ground water at the NVL. Appendix E includes a copy of the
most recent Ground Water Monitoring Report.
3.4.2 Surface Water
The NVL permit drawings (Appendix A) illustrate the locations and details of the surface
water drainage control systems for both run-on and run-off. With regards to this permit,
run-on water is defined as the water that will be diverted around the landfill area and
diverted into existing drainages. Run-off is the water that falls on the landfill footprint that
does not contact waste. Run-off will be directed to a run-off pond. Storm water that falls
within the footprint of the landfill and comes in contact with waste is defined as leachate
and will be directed to a lined leachate pond.

In general, run-on is prevented from running into the active landfill area by ditches
associated with a perimeter access road. The permit drawings (Appendix A) indicate the
location of the existing and future run-off basins. Calculations of the anticipated run-off
volumes are shown in Appendix F. Run-off from the final cover will be managed by a

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 20
combination of berms and ditches. The berms will be placed to divert the water around th e
active area through culverts to the run-off pond.

Ditches and berms used for management of the run-on waters are shown on the permit
drawings (Appendix A) with the run-on calculations presented in Appendix F.

Landfill staff will inspect the drainage system monthly. Temporary repairs will be made to
any observed deficiencies until permanent repairs can be scheduled. Logan City personnel or
a licensed general contractor will repair drainage facilities as required.

Prior to waste placement at the NVL, Logan City prepared and submitted for approval a Utah
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (UPDES) Multi-Sector General Permit for Storm
Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity, Coverage No. UTR000703. Appendix G
contains the Notice of Intent (NOI) associated with the current UPDES permit.
3.4.3 Leachate Collection
The NVL has a composite landfill liner system installed in all of the landfill cells which serves
as the primary element in the leachate collection system. The leachate collection and
recovery system (LCRS), installed in each of the lined landfill cell s, will be maintained so that
it operates from initial construction throughout the post-closure maintenance period. The
LCRS consists of lined landfill cells, drainage media to transport leachate along the cell
bottoms, leachate collection pipes, and a lined leachate pond.

The LCRS system is inspected no less than quarterly by landfill staff for signs of deterioration.
Logan City personnel or a licensed contractor will make required repairs to the system as
required. Cleanouts will be located to aid in system operation and maintenance and will be
detailed as part of individual cell designs.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 21
3.4.4 Landfill Gas
An active landfill gas management system will be constructed at the NVL concurrent with the
construction of the final cover. Details of the landfill gas collection system will be developed
and submitted to the DWMRC for approval prior to final cover construction.

This facility is monitored for methane gas on a quarterly basis with concentrations of
methane gas being measured with a hand-held gas monitor. Gas readings are recorded at
any site structures developed on landfill property, all ground water monitoring well
locations, and at all property boundaries. Readings are recorded on the "Gas Log" sheet and
kept on file in the office.

If methane releases are detected in excess of 25 percent of the LEL, in any landfill structure or
more than 100 percent of LEL at the property boundary, the procedure outlined in the
"Explosive Gases" section will be followed. The forms utilized by landfill personnel to record gas
monitoring activities are included in Appendix D.

Logan City has applied for and has been issued a Title V Operating Permit from the Division of
Air Quality. A copy of the current Title V Operating Permit is included as Appendix H. Associated
with the Title V Operating Permit, Logan City has conducted tier 2 landfill gas testing and a five-
year estimate for non-methane organic compounds (NMOC) emissions at the NVL. A copy of
the most current NMOC Emissions Report is included in Appendix H.
3.4.5 General Inspections and Quarterly Inspection
Routine inspections are necessary to prevent malfunctions and deterioration of landfill
control systems, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to release of wastes
to the environment or a threat to human health. Operators are responsible for conducting
and recording routine inspections of the landfill facilities according to the following
schedule:

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 22
Operators will perform pre-operational inspections of all equipment daily. A post-
operational inspection is performed at the end of each shift while equipment is cooling
down.

All equipment is on a regular maintenance schedule. A logbook is maintained on each piece
of mobile equipment that includes a record of any repairs and operational related comments
concerning the equipment. Oil samples are pulled and analyzed when each machine is
serviced, and testing results are recorded in the machine log.

Facility inspections are completed on a quarterly basis. Any needed corrective action items
are recorded and the Operators (Attendants) complete needed repairs. If a problem is of an
urgent nature, the problem will be corrected immediately.

Scale maintenance is performed annually at a minimum. If specific problems arise before
scheduled maintenance, scale maintenance is performed as required. The scale is certified
on an annual basis.

Landfill personnel also conduct quarterly inspections. Quarterly inspections are performed
by a team of qualified landfill employees and is intended to asses s the condition of various
areas of the landfill. Quarterly inspections include dust control activities, cover conditions,
waste control, scale operations, perimeter fence, run-off / run-on system, roads, buildings,
ground water monitoring wells, tipping face, disease vector control activities, and general
facility appearance. The forms utilized by landfill personnel to record general and quarterly
inspection activities are included in Appendix D.
3.5 CONTIGENCY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANS
The following sections outline procedures that will be followed in case of fire, explosion,
ground water contamination, release of explosive gases, or failure of the storm water
management system.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 23
HazMat will be contacted in all cases where hazardous materials or materials contaminated
with PCB's are suspected to be involved.
3.5.1 Fire
The potential for fire is a concern in all landfills. The NVL staff follow a waste handling
procedure to minimize the potential for a landfill fire. If any load comes to the landfill on fire,
the driver of the vehicle will be directed to an area away from the working face. The burning
waste will be unloaded, spread out, and immediately covered with sufficient amounts of soil
to smother the fire. Once the burning waste cools and is deemed safe, the material will be
incorporated into the working face. Some loads coming to the landfill may be on fire but not
detected until after being unloaded at the working face. If a load of waste that is on fire is
unloaded at the working face, the load of waste will be immediately removed from the
working face, spread out, and covered with soil.

The Logan Fire Department will be called if it appears that landfill personnel and equipment
cannot contain any fire at the landfill. The Logan Fire Department will also be called if a fire
is burning below the landfill surface or is difficult to reach or isolate.

In case of fire, the Manager and Director will be notified immediately. A written report detailing
the event will be placed in the operating record within seven days, including any corrective
action taken.
3.5.2 Release of Explosive Gases
Methane gas generation and concentration is not ant icipated to be a problem at the NVL.
However, due to the production of methane in all landfills, landfill gas levels will be
monitored quarterly. If a concentration of methane is detected in excess of 25 percent of the
lower explosive limit (LEL) in a landfill building, 100 percent LEL at the property boundary, or
over 100 parts per million in an off-site building, the following procedure will be followed:

• Landfill operations will cease immediately. The landfill will be evacuated if personnel
or buildings may be threatened.
• If gas is detected in a building, the doors and windows will be opened to allow the
gas to escape.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 24
• If off-site buildings or structures appear to be threatened, the Logan Fire Department
will be called, the property evacuated, and the surrounding property owners notified.
• The Manager and Director will be notified as soon as possible. The release will be
monitored, and a temporary corrective action implemented as soon as possible. A
permanent corrective action will be completed as soon as practicable with details
acceptable to the DWMRC.

The DWMRC will be notified immediately, and a written report submitted within 14 days of
detecting the release. The gas levels detected, and a description of the steps taken to protect
human health will be placed in the operating record within seven days of detection. A
remediation plan for the methane gas release will be placed in the operating record within 60
days of detection and the DWMRC Director will be notified that the plan has been
implemented.
3.5.3 Explosion
If an explosion occurs or seems eminent, all personnel and site visitors (if persons other than
Logan City personnel are on site) will be accounted for and the landfill evacuated. A
corrective action plan will be immediately formulated and implemented as soon as
practicable.

The Manager and Director will be notified immediately, and the Logan Fire Department will
be called. The DWMRC Director will be notified immediately.

If the explosion is the result of methane gas, the gas levels detected, and a description of the
steps taken to protect human health will be placed in the operating record within seven days
of detection. A remediation plan for the methane gas release will be placed in the operating
record within 60 days of detection and the DWMRC Director will be notified that the plan
has been implemented.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 25
3.5.4 Failure of Run-On/Run-Off Containment
The purpose of the run-on/run-off control systems is to manage the storm water falling in or
near the landfill. Run-on water is water running toward the landfill that will be diverted away
from landfill operations using a series of ditches, berms, and a perimeter road. These
structures will be inspected on a regular basis and repaired as needed. All storm waters
falling or flowing near the active landfill cell will be prevented from flowing into the active
area by diversion berms and ditches.

If the run-on system fails, temporary measures such as temporary berms, ditches, sumps
and pumps or other methods will be used to divert water from the active landfill cell.

Run-off waters are waters falling within the landfill footprint that has not fallen on waste.
Run-off waters will be collected via diversion ditches and berms and directed to a run -off
pond located down-hill from the landfill. If a run-off ditch or berm fails, temporary berms or
ditches will be constructed until a permanent run-off structure can be constructed.

Any temporary berms or other structures will be checked twice a day until permanent
repairs can be made. Permanent improvements or repairs will be made as soon as
practicable.

The Manager and Director will be notified immediately if a failure of either of the run-on or
run-off systems is discovered. The event will be fully documented in the operating record,
including corrective action within 14 days.
3.5.5 Ground water Contamination
The NVL has utilized a series of upgradient and downgradient monitor wells to establish
background water quality for the NVL site. If, during routine ground water sampling, any
chemical constituent is detected above established background water quality levels Logan
City personnel will utilize a statistical data analysis method to determine if the change in
water quality is statistically significant.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 26

If the change in ground water quality is statistically significant and the source of the
contamination cannot be demonstrated to be something other than the waste in the landfill,
the NVL will initiate assessment monitoring. All ground water monitoring will be conducted
in accordance with R315-308. The ground water monitoring program may be updated, and
corrective action taken as deemed necessary, with the approval of the DWMRC Director.
3.6 CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR ALTERNATIVE WASTE HANDLING
The most probable reason for a disruption in the waste handling procedures at the NVL will
be weather related. The landfill may close during periods of inclement weather such as high
winds, heavy rain, snow, flooding, or any other weather-related condition that would make
travel or operations dangerous. The NVL may also close for other reasons like fire, natural
disaster, etc. In general, the NVL will minimize the possibility of disruption of waste disposal
services from an operational standpoint by minimizing the possibility of fire, maintaining
run-off and run-on control structures and by conducting daily site inspections.

In case of equipment failure other Logan City departments will provide the necessary
equipment to continue operations while repairs are being made to the NVL equipment. If
necessary, and substitute equipment is not available through other city departments,
replacement equipment will be rented via commercial vendors. If the NVL landfill is not
operational for any reasons, the Director will be notified.

Logan City has retained disposal capacity at the Logan Landfill in case of a disruption of
service at NVL, however, Logan City also has a reciprocal agreement with Box Elder County
Landfill to provide an alternative site for temporary disposal of municipal solid waste should
the need arise. A copy of this agreement has been included in Appendix I.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 27
3.7 MAINTENANCE PLAN
3.7.1 Groundwater Monitoring Wells and Leachate System
The NVL personnel or qualified consultant conducts quarterly inspection of all ground water
monitoring wells and LCRS components.
3.7.2 Gas Monitoring System
The NVL will be equipped with a landfill gas recovery and management system. This system
will be installed in conjunction with the final cover construction. Quarterly gas monitoring
will be conducted using a handheld meter.
3.8 VECTOR, DUST, LITTER, AND WEED CONTROL
The vectors anticipated to be encountered at the NVL are flies, birds, mosquitoes, rodents,
skunks, and snakes. The program for controlling these vectors is as follows:
3.8.1 Insects
Eliminating breeding areas is essential in the control of insects. NVL minimizes the breeding
areas by covering the waste daily and maintaining landfill surfaces to reduce ponded water. The
Logan City mosquito abatement program personnel will assist the landfill as necessary.
3.8.2 Rodents
Reducing potential food sources minimizes rodent populations at landfills. The NVL personnel
reduces the potential food sources by properly applying daily cover over all waste.

In the event of a significant increase in the number of rodents at the landfill, a professional
exterminator will be contacted. The exterminator would then establish an appropriate
protocol for pest control in accordance with all county, state and federal regulations.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 28
3.8.3 Birds
NVL occasionally has birds (seagulls) at the landfill. Good landfilling practices of waste
compaction, daily covering of active working face, and the minimization of ponded water
alleviates most of the bird problems. In the event that daily covering of waste and
minimizing ponded water is not sufficient, additional efforts will be utilized to minimize bird
congestion. Methods will include using cracker and whistler shells, propane cannons, bird
netting, or air treatment systems.
3.8.4 Fugitive Dust
The roads leading to the NVL site are paved and site access is via maintained gravel access
road. Some construction activities and daily truck traffic will produce a certain amount of
dust. Dust generated by landfill activities is compounded by the occasional high wind to
present a periodic fugitive dust problem. If the dust problem elevates above the “minimum
avoidable dust level,” the landfill personnel will apply water to problem areas.

The landfill has a water truck on site and NVL has access to additional Logan City water
trucks as needed to suppress the dust. Water is applied to the gravel roads leading to all
landfill facilities and to the tipping face. The water is applied as often as needed to control
the dust. A copy of the NVL Fugitive Dust Plan is included in Appendix J.
3.8.5 Litter Control
Due to the nature of landfilling operations, litter control is an ongoing challenge. Landfill
personnel perform routine litter cleanup to keep the landfill and surrounding properties
clear of windblown debris.

Whenever possible, the working face is placed downwind so that blowing litter is worked
into the landfill face. Based on available wind measurements for the Logan Airport, wind will
generally originate from the north. The landfill uses litter fencing to catch any litter blown
during landfill operation. During windy conditions, landfill personnel minimize the spreading

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 29
of the waste to reduce the amount of windblown debris. Application of daily cover over the
waste also helps to minimize windblown debris. The location and operation of the landfill
working face will be modified to account for variations in the wind direction and velocity
with the portable litter fencing being repositioned as needed to cap ture the wind blown
litter.
3.8.6 Weed Control
NVL staff recognize that weed control may be necessary as part of the operations at the
landfill. Logan City has developed a weed control plan in case weeds become a problem at
the NVL. A copy of the NVL weed control plan is included as Appendix K.
3.9 RECYCLING
The transfer station provides areas for the recycling of cardboard, newspaper, magazines,
carpet padding and scrap metal. The Logan City Environmental Department will continue to
implement the county-wide single stream residential recycling program to provide additional
recycling opportunities to County residents.

Logan City will continue to divert as much green waste as possible from the MSW waste
stream to the composting facility that operates immediately east of the existing Logan
Landfill and is managed by the Environmental Department. The City operates a composting
facility that accepts manure, hay, yard wastes, trees, tree limbs and some untreated lumber.
These materials are composted or ground and processed to produce various landscaping
products that are sold to the public. Logs and tree limbs brought to the facility that are too
large to feasibly process into landscaping materials are stockpiled and sold as firewood. The
existing compost facility will continue to be operational in support of the transfer station and
NVL operations.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 30
The Logan City Environmental Department operates and services several green waste
recycling drop sites in the county outside of Logan City and they provide an optional drop
site green waste recycling service to county residents.
3.10 TRAINING PROGRAM
As part of the initial training of new employees, the NVL employees are required to read the
NVL permit. The Manager conducts annual training with all landfill personnel that includes a
review of the landfill permit, specifically the provisions of the Plan of Operation .

All personnel associated with the operation of the NVL receive annual training in the
operational aspects of landfills. The "Landfill Operations Basics Course" offered by the Solid
Waste Association of North America (SWANA) will be required by all employees within 1
year of hire date. Certificates of Completion will be kept in personnel files. Regular safety
and equipment maintenance training sessions are held to ensure that employees are aware
of the latest technologies and that good safety practices are used at all times.

The NVL Manager will maintain a current SWANA “Manager of Landfill Operations” (MOLO)
certification.
3.11 RECORDKEEPING
A daily operating record will be maintained as part of a permanent record on the following
items:
• Number of loads entering the landfill and types of wastes received
• Deviations from the approved Plan of Operation
• Number of waste inspections conducted
• Percentage of loads inspected
• Amount and type of cover material used
• Asbestos cell monitoring (when operational)
• Dust control record keeping

• Annual training documentation
A copy of the most recent annual report is presented in Appendix C.
3.13 INSPECTIONS
The Manager, or his/her designee, inspects the facility to minimize the likelihood of
malfunctions, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes
to the environment or to a threat to human health. These inspections are conducted on a
quarterly basis, at a minimum. An inspection log is kept as part of the operating record. This log
includes the date and time of inspection, the printed name and handwritten signature of the
inspector, a notation of observations made, and the date and nature of any repairs or

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part II August 12, 2022
Page 32
corrective actions. Inspection records will be available to the DWMRC Director or an authorized
representative upon request.
3.14 RECORDING WITH COUNTY RECORDER
Plats and other data, as required by the County Recorder, will be recorded with the Cache
County Recorder as part of the record of title no later than 60 days after certification of closure.
3.15 STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
The NVL will continue to comply with all applicable state and local requirements including
zoning, fire protection, water pollution prevention, air pollution prevention, and nuisance
control. NVL operations was granted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by Cache County, a copy
of the CUP is included as Appendix L. NVL operations continues to abide by the requirements
set for in the Cache County CUP.
3.16 SAFETY
Landfill personnel are required to participate in an ongoing safety program. This program
complies with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the National
Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) regulations as applicable. This program
is designed to make the site and equipment as secure as possible and to educate landfill
personnel about safe work practices.

The NVL personnel are trained in First Aid, CPR, accident investigation, drug and alcohol
policies, confined space entry, blood born pathogen, hazard communication, defensive driving,
spill prevention control and counter measure, hazardous waste, and commercial driving license
requirements. Some personnel will also be trained in storm water management, leachate
monitoring, and landfill gas monitoring.

1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The North Valley landfill site is the proposed site for future solid waste disposal for all of Cache
County. The objective of the groundwater monitoring plan is to fulfill requirements given in Utah
Administrative Code R315-308 and sample the groundwater under the site to establish background
concentrations of parameters listed in Section R315-308-4. Once the background concentrations are
established, sampling will continue to detect any changes in the contaminants.

1.2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The North Valley landfill site is 320 acres and located approximately 5 miles north of Clarkston, Utah.
Figure 1 shows the location of the site. Figure 2 shows the proposed layout of Phase I of the North
Valley landfill consisting of three cells.

1.3 MONITORING WELLS
Prior to the start of landfilling activity investigative monitoring wells were installed at the North
Valley Landfill. The locations of monitoring wells are presented on Figure 1. Seven wells (NV-1, NV-
2, NV-3, NV-4, NV-5, NV-6, and NV-7) surrounding the landfill site were placed prior to landfill
construction. To meet the distance requirements outlined in R315-308-4 additional monitoring
wells were installed (NV-8, NV-9, and NV- 10). Monitoring wells currently included in the semiannual
sampling plan are NV-8, (upgradient) NV-9, NV-10, and NV-4 (downgradient). Groundwater
monitoring requirements under R315-308-2 require the groundwater monitoring system to consist
of at least one background or upgradient well and two downgradient wells. The downgradient wells
are designated as the point of compliance. Construction details for the existing groundwater wells
are summarized in Table 1. The well logs are contained in Appendix C.
2.0 SAMPLING SCHEDULE

In reference to R315-308-29(5)(a), during the first year of facility operation after wells are installed,
a minimum of eight independent samples from the upgradient and four independent samples from
the downgradient wells will be taken for all parameters listed in Section R315-308-4 to establish
background concentrations. A summary of laboratory results is shown in Table 2.
Once the background concentrations are established, a minimum of one sample will be taken
semiannually for all parameters listed in R315-308-4. The time between sampling events should be
sufficient to allow groundwater to move past the point of compliance so that the samples are
“independent”.

3.0 PROCEDURES

This section describes the procedures that will be used for groundwater measurement, sampling, and
analysis.
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The wells will be sampled using currently accepted and approved technology. Proper health and
safety procedures and the use of personal protective equipment as was proper for well purging,
sample collection, and preservation techniques; equipment decontamination methods, and quality
assurance/quality control techniques will be followed.
3.2 PRE-SAMPLING PROCEDURES
Upon arrival at the monitoring well, prior to groundwater measurement, purging or sampling, any
signs of tampering or well deterioration will be documented. A depth to groundwater measurement
shall be taken using a conductivity-based water level meter or equivalent instrument capable of
obtaining readings to the nearest 0.01 foot. The following method will be used to measure the
groundwater elevation:
1. Verify well identification. Check to ensure proper operation of measurement equipment
aboveground. Prior to opening the well, put on personal protective equipment as required.
2. Record well number, top of casing elevation, and surface elevation if available.
3. Lower the probe slowly into the well. Upon contact with water, the buzzer should sound and the
indicator light should glow. Raise and lower the probe slightly about the water level a few times to
determine accurate point of contact.
4. Measure and record static water level and total depth to the nearest 0.01 ft from the surveyed
reference mark on the top edge of the groundwater level measurement tube. If no reference mark
is present, record in the logbook where the measurement was taken from and record the depth to
groundwater.
5. Record the time and day of the measurement.
6. Raise the water level probe on the spool and decontaminate.

3.3 EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION
Ground Water Monitoring Plan 2023
North Valley Landfill

6 | P a g e

All meters shall be calibrated prior to use in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions and no
meters shall be used unless they are functioning properly.

3.4 WELL PURGING
Prior to sampling, the wells will be purged to obtain fresh groundwater that is representative of
formation water. Purging will be done using either: Teflon bottom-filling bailers with single strand
stainless steel wire or monofilament such as fishing line; factory-wrapped disposable polyethylene
bailers with disposable bailer cord; an approved type of sampling pump (such as a bladder pump)
with tubing that will be decontaminated or changed between each well; or equivalent approved
purging device. Submersible pumps, which can agitate water in the well, will not be used. Pumps will
be configured so as not to introduce contamination through gas exhaust. Any equipment used for
evacuating water from the wells will be non-leaching and non-aerating. If dedicated or disposable
equipment is not used, all purging and/or sampling equipment will be decontaminated with a non -
phosphate wash followed by a distilled water rinse prior to use in each well.
Four well volumes will be purged from each of the wells prior to sample collection. Well volumes
shall be calculated as described below in Equation 1.
Equation 1: 𝑉=𝐴× (𝐷
2 )
2
× 𝐻× 4 × 7.48 𝑓𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑛𝑛𝑠
𝑓𝑠3⁄
V = Total Purge Volume (gals)
B = Pi (3.1416)
D = Inside diameter of well casing (feet)
H = Feet of water in the well (depth to well bottom minus depth to water)

When wells pump or bail dry the well shall be evacuated to dryness once. Sampling shall be
conducted when the well recovers to 85% of the initial water level (or for two hours, whichever
occurs sooner). Purge water will be discharged to the ground surface at least 50 feet from the
wellhead.
The following method will be used to purge the wells:
Purging with a pump
1. Slowly lower the pump to the middle of the screened area of the well. Securely fasten the power
cable and sample tubing. Connect the power source, controller box, gas source, etc., to the pumping
equipment.
Ground Water Monitoring Plan 2023

2. Use Equation 1 to calculate the number of gallons to remove a specific number of required well
volumes from the well.

3a. Using a pump to purge and sample the well: Record the "purging time start" and start purging the
well. Minimize well drawdown; it should stabilize before sampling. If the water level continues to
decline during purging, try using a lower purging rate. Use a graduated beaker, cylinder, calibrated
bucket or other device to calculate the flow rate while purging and sampling.

3b. Using a pump to purge the well and then using a grab sampler to sample the well: Record the "purging
time start" and start purging the well with the pump's inlet at the top of the water column. As you are
purging, slowly lower the pump so that, after the specific number or required well volumes are purged,
the pump's inlet is near the bottom of the well (within ~ 1 foot).

4. Record "purging flow rate" as an average, "volume purged," "purging time stop," "purged dry (Y/N),"
and any problems purging.

5a. If a pump is used to collect samples, the sampling flow rate should be as low as possible, and
preferably less than the purging flow rate.

5b. If a grab sampler is used, try not to disturb the samples. If a bailer is used, use a bottom-emptying
device to decant your samples.

6. Collect samples as described under Section 3.6. Record "sample flow rate" as an average, "time
sample collected," and any other pertinent information related to the sampling event.

Purging with a bailer

1. Use Equation 1 to calculate the number of gallons needed for removing a specific number of
required well volumes. Record this data as "well volumes."
2. Record the "purging time start." Lower and raise a decontaminated bailer in and out of the
water column very slowly and purge four well volumes.
3. Use a calibrated bucket or other device to keep track of the volume of water you remove. Purge
specific number of required well volumes.

4. Record "volume purged," "purging time stop," "purged dry (Y/N)," and any problems purging.

5. Sample the well by slowly and gently lowering the bailer until it is submerged and in the middle of the
well screen. Do not allow the bailer to contact the bottom of the well. Very slowly and carefully raise the
bailer out of the water column and to the surface.

6. Collect samples as described under Section 3.6. Use a bottom-emptying device to decant samples
from a bailer. Record "time sample collected" and any other pertinent information related to the sampling
event.

3.5 FIELD MEASUREMENTS
After each well has been purged, a sample will be collected into a clean beaker for measurement of
pH, electrical conductivity, and temperature. These readings will be recorded, along with well I.D.
and time. To reduce the potential for cross contamination, monitoring probes will never be placed
in containers to be sent to the laboratory for analysis.

3.6 SAMPLE COLLECTION AND PRESERVATION
Samples will be collected with a bailer or an approved sampling pump such as a bladder pump. When
using a bailer, care will be taken to not drop the bailer in the well fast enough to cause degassing. The
bailer will be slowly lowered into the well. The bailer’s contents will be transferred into laboratory
supplied sample containers with the minimum amount of agitation possible to reduce aeration of the
sample. When using a positive gas displacement bladder pump for volatile analysis collection, the
pumping rate will not exceed 100 millimeters/minute.
The sampler will wear a new pair of disposable vinyl gloves to handle sampling equipment and
sample containers at each well. Samples will be collected in laboratory supplied sample bottles. Care
will be taken to keep sample bottles capped until immediately prior to collecting the sample. Once
filled, bottles will immediately be capped to minimize contact with dust and ambient air.
Analytes to be tested Glass bottles with Teflon lined caps will be used for organic samples. For both
volatile organic and TOC samples, no headspace will be allowed in the sample container.
Polyethylene containers with polypropylene caps will be used for metals analysis. Samples for
dissolved metals analysis will be collected without filtering into a non-preserved polyethylene bottle.
The sample must be delivered to the laboratory the same day, and the laboratory must be requested
to immediately filter and preserve the sample. If needed, groundwater collected for dissolved metals
analysis will be field-filtered through a 0.45 micron filter, transferred to a bottle, preserved with
nitric acid to a pH less than 2 and analyzed for dissolved metals.
The first samples to be collected will be those for volatilization sensitive parameters (Volatiles, pH).
Parameters that are not pH sensitive or subject to volatilization will be drawn last.
The sample collection order will be as follows:
• VOC’s
• Dissolved metals
• Inorganics
• TOC
• Ammonia and nitrate
The following procedures shall be used for VOC sample collection:
1. The sample container shall be filled so that a convex meniscus forms over the neck of the
opening to eliminate head-space.
Ground Water Monitoring Plan 2023
North Valley Landfill

9 | P a g e

2. The cap will be filled with groundwater. The teflon side of septum (in the vial cap) will be
positioned against the meniscus, and the cap screwed on tightly.
3. Invert the sample bottle and tap lightly to check for air bubbles. The absence of an air bubble
indicates an airtight seal. If an air bubble is observed recollect the sample following the procedures
described above. This process shall be continued until the sample for VOCs contains no head space.
The following procedures shall be followed for collection of samples for analyses other than
VOCs:
1. The sample containers shall be filled in order from the least to the most stable compounds as
described previously.
2. Sufficient volume shall be collected so that the scheduled analysis can be performed. The sample
containers do not need to be filled to eliminate head-space.

3.7 SAMPLE HANDLING

3.7.1 NUMBERING AND LABELING
Each sample will be assigned a unique ID number that does not identify the sample location. The
sample ID will be tied to the well location in the field documentation. Sample ID’s will take the
following format: “NV (Month) (Year) (Number)”. For example, the samples collected from the first
well in April 2012 would be assigned the ID number NV041201. The second well’s sample would be
NV041202. If a duplicate sample were collected at the second well it would be numbered NV041203.
Once collected, each sample will be immediately labeled, sealed in a water-tight ziplock baggie, and
place in a sample cooler with ice. Pieces of bubble wrap or foam will be used to prevent bottles from
knocking together and breaking. Immediately after placing the sample in the cooler, the sample will
be recorded on a chain-of-custody.
3.7.2 CHAIN OF CUSTODY
The chain-of-custody will, at minimum, list the time and date of sample collection, sample ID, number
of containers making up each sample, name of sampler, and signatures of every person who assumes
custody of the sample set along with the date and time that the custody was transferred. Chain-of –
custodies may also include instructions to the laboratory on the analysis to be performed.
Samples will remain in the custody of the sampler until they are relinquished to the laboratory or
until they are relinquished to a qualified individual for transport to the laboratory. If, after samples
are collected, the laboratory is closed, sample personnel will have 24-hour access to a “Laboratory
Secure Area” (equipped with a refrigerator) for storing samples until regular laboratory hours, when
sample custody can be transferred. Custody, including secure storage areas, will be documented on
the chain-of-custody form.
Ground Water Monitoring Plan 2023
North Valley Landfill

10 | P a g e

3.7.3 FIELD DOCUMENTATION
The sampler will keep a field logbook that documents for each well sampled the following
information.
• Well identification corresponding to well #
• Well depth, well casing stick up
• Static water level depth and measurement technique
• Well yield (volume purged)
• Sample collection methods
• Sample identification numbers
• Preservatives and containers used
• Parameters requested for analysis
• Field analysis data and methods
• Field observations including weather
• Name of collector

3.8.2 LABORATORY QA /QC
The laboratory will be required to provide results for two types of QA/QC samples: method blanks
and matrix spike/matrix spike duplicates.
Method Blank
Purpose:
Method blanks provide an indication of whether an analyte may have been introduced into the
sample during laboratory handling and analysis.
Collection:
Method blank results will be provided for each analyte.
Matrix Spike and Matrix Spike Duplicate
Purpose:
Matrix spike/matrix spike duplicates are prepared and analyzed to give an indication of the
laboratory accuracy (ability to recover 100% of the analyte) and precision (ability to get repeatable
results).
Ground Water Monitoring Plan 2023
North Valley Landfill

12 | P a g e

Collection:
Matrix spike and matrix spike duplicates will be analyzed for each metal and inorganic analyte, and
for a representative number of volatile organic compounds.

3.9 DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES
To obtain high quality, consistent data that facilitate tracking long-term variations and trends,
several objectives have been developed, including:
• An established detection limit for each analyte
• Target ranges for accuracy and precision in laboratory data
• Target ranges for precision in field duplicates
• Criteria for acceptance of compounds found in method blanks
These objectives are discussed in more detail below.

3.9.1 REPORTING LIMITS
The laboratory will be requested to obtain the detection limits shown on Table 4. These detection
limits are below Solid Waste Groundwater Protection Standards for each analyte, and are expected
to be low enough to detect naturally occurring concentrations of most inorganics and metals. The
laboratory may qualify very low concentrations with “J” (estimated) qualifiers if the detected
concentrations are not above the laboratory’s established reporting limit. The reporting limit, as
required by the Utah Division of Laboratory Services, is normally 5 to 10 times the detection limit, or
the lowest concentration standard run during calibration.
If the laboratory cannot meet the requested limit for analyte or group of analytes due to
characteristics of the sample, the laboratory will notify the City of Logan immediately, noting the
reason and presenting the lowest possible reporting limit. The problem with the sample will be
evaluated by the City of Logan and will be corrected, if possible. If changes in the sampling protocol
or established reporting limit are necessary, DSHW will be notified immediately.

3.9.2 PRECISION AND ACCURACY IN LABORATORY QA /QC SAMPLES
The laboratory prepares matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate samples by adding a known amount
of an analyte, such as arsenic, to two aliquots of the same sample. The matrix spike and matrix spike
duplicate are then analyzed. Accuracy for the matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate samples is
defined as the recovery, i.e., the amount recovered in the analysis divided by the quantity “known” to
be present, time 100%. A result of 100% indicates perfect accuracy. Target recoveries of 80% to
120% are acceptable for most analytes. Arsenic, selenium, and thallium (the GFAA metals) have
slightly wider ranges of recovery, usually in the range of 70% to 130%, due to inter-element
interferences.
Ground Water Monitoring Plan 2023
North Valley Landfill

13 | P a g e

Therefore, recoveries of 80 to 120% will indicate good accuracy (70 to 130% for arsenic, selenium,
and thallium). If recoveries for the matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate fall outside that range, the
laboratory will be contacted for an explanation so that the data can be qualified as “acceptable”,
“estimated”, or “rejected”.
Precision is defined as how close the results are for the matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate
samples. Therefore, it is an indication of how well the laboratory is able to repeat a measurement.
Precision between two measurements (A and B) is given as the relative percent difference, calculated
as follows:
𝑅𝑃𝐷=(𝐴−𝐴)× 100%
(𝐴+𝐴)
2

The laboratory is generally able to repeat results in a water sample within 10%. For matrix
spike/matrix spike duplicates with RPDs greater than 10%, the laboratory will be contacted for an
explanation so that the data can be qualified as “acceptable”, “estimated”, or “rejected”.

3.9.3 PRECISION IN FIELD DUPLICATE SAMPLES
The RPD between two field samples indicates how repeatable the entire sampling and analysis effort
is. It can be affected by slight differences in the water used to fill the two duplicate bottles, slight
differences in time that containers are open, slight differences in the amount of preservative in the
bottles, and variations in the laboratory analysis. The RPD for two duplicate samples, calculated just
as for laboratory samples may easily be as high as 30%. When the quantity of an analyte is very small,
relatively small absolute differences (1 to 2 ppm) can result in large RPDs. The person conducting
the data validation will apply professional judgment to assess the validity of data with RPDs greater
than 30%.

3.9.4 LABORATORY CONTAMINANTS AND ANALYTES IN METHOD BLANKS
If the laboratory reports an analyte in the method blank, such as methylene chloride, it indicates that
the analyte may be present in the instrumentation and contaminating samples that are being
analyzed on the instrument. Sample results that are less than 10 times the amount reported in the
blank should be considered suspect and may be rejected. Additionally, if a common laboratory
contaminant like acetone or methylene chloride is reported in the sample but not the blank, the
reported concentrations should be compared to the reporting limit for the common laboratory
contaminant. Sample results that are less than five times the reporting limit may be suspect and can
be rejected if no other data exists to support the presence of the analyte in the samples.

4.0 DATA ANALYSIS PLAN

4.1 DATA VALIDATION
When the laboratory data is received, it will be reviewed to assess data validity. The data package
will be checked to insure that:
• Sample IDs match chain-of-custody and field notes and can be matched to sample location,
date, and time.
• Samples were analyzed within holding times.
• Analysis reporting limits are acceptable.
• Laboratory method blank results are included and acceptable.
• Laboratory MS/MSD results for representative analytes are included and acceptable.
• Field duplicate sample results are included and acceptable.
If the listed checks indicate potential problems or discrepancies, the laboratory will be notified and
requested to help resolve the question. If the cause of the problem cannot be located, the affected
data will be qualified or the affected wells will be resembled, depending on the severity of the
problem. The person who validates the data will use professional judgment to assign qualifiers to
data that do not meet the data quality objectives of section 3.9. If the data appear usable and can be
combined with the historical data with no reservations, then no qualifier will be attached. The
reasoning will be detailed in the report prepared for the sampling event.
If the data appear to accurately represent the presence or absence of an analyte, but the
quantification of the analyte is in question, then a “J” will be assigned to the reported concentration
to indicate it is an estimated quantity. An example of this might be a case where arsenic is reported
in the sample, but arsenic recoveries in the matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate are very low (such
as 50%). The person validating the data may feel that the reported arsenic value is useful information
even if the result is probably too low. In this case, a “J” would appear next to the rep orted result in
subsequent tabulations of the data for that well.
If the data for the well appear compromised to the point where the reported result is not useful (such
as the appearance of methylene chloride in the method blank and in a sample at similar
concentrations), the data will receive an “R” qualifier indicating it is rejected. The reported result will
continue to be shown in subsequent tabulations, but the “R” qualifier will flag the user not to include
the result in statistical compilations, etc.
In all cases where data receive qualifiers, an explanation of the validator’s judgment will be given in
the report of the sampling round where the qualified data are first reported.

4.2 DATA ANALYSIS
The data will be analyzed by:
Ground Water Monitoring Plan 2023
North Valley Landfill

15 | P a g e

• Looking for the presence of non-naturally occurring compounds in the sample (such as
volatile organic compounds), and
• Plotting the concentrations of naturally occurring constituents (metals and minerals) in
each well on concentration versus time for that well
• Comparing concentrations to statistically determined control limits using the Intra-well
method as approved by Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control.
If non-naturally occurring compounds are reported by the laboratory, the validity of the result(s) will
be assessed by reviewing method blank results, raw laboratory data, the compound’s potential status
as a common laboratory contaminant, and the reported concentration relative to the method
detection limit. If the positive results appear potentially valid, the affected well will be resampled to
verify the result.
The relative concentrations of naturally-occurring constituents will be analyzed to assess whether
the water is impacted. Background water quality will be established by collecting eight independent
samples from each well.
4.3 DATA REPORTING
Semi-annual monitoring reports will be prepared. Each report will include a:
• Description of sampling activities
• Discussion of data validity
• Discussion of laboratory QA/QC
• Presentation of water elevation measurements and contour map
• Presentation of field and laboratory data in tables
• Graphical presentation of trends in analyte concentrations over time
• Contours of TDS and TOC for the sampling event
• Statistical analysis of the analytical results

Attachment 4 - Closure and Post-Closure Plan

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part III August 12, 2022
Page 29
SECTION 4 – CLOSURE PLAN
4.1 GENERAL
Closure of the NVL will occur in Stages that proceed from the northern-most corner of the
landfill and progress counterclockwise to the southeast following the same direction as the
development of the cells. Drawing 7 (Appendix A) show the general location of the closure
Stages for the landfill.

The landfill is intended to be closed sequentially beginning with Stage A and proceeding in
alphabetical order to Stage O. The following Sections discuss the closure of the landfill under
intermediate conditions (any point in time before total design capacity) and for the designed
closure at full capacity.
4.2 IMMEDIATE CLOSURE
Although unlikely, it may become necessary or advantageous to close the NVL short of the final
design capacity. Reasons for premature closure range from residential pressures, political
pressures, alternate waste disposal options, to regulatory pressures.

Immediate closure would be closure of the landfill at any point short of ultimate design
capacity. During that period of time, waste would need to be deposited and sloped in a manner
to create a positively sloped final cover. Design, regulatory approval, and construction of a final
cover system would need to be completed over the entire area where MSW has been
deposited.
4.3 STAGED CLOSURE
The most probable scenario for the NVL is one of Staged Closure. Staged Closure would consist
of closing the landfill under the following plan, in accordance with Rules R315-302-2 and 3.
Drawing7 (Appendix A) shows the planned contours of the final cover.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part III August 12, 2022
Page 30
4.3.1 Closure Sequencing
The closure of the NVL will be completed in at least 15 Stages. The lateral extent of final
cover completed and predicted duration of each of the Phases is as follows:
4.3.1.1 Landfill Closure Stages A-F
The closure of the NVL will be completed in a number of closure construction projects over
the life of the landfill. These closure construction projects (Stages) are intended to break up
the capital costs and to help manage the financial assurance costs associated with the NVL.

The closure Stages will follow the same general development pattern that will be utilized for
the Cell development starting from the northern area of the landfill and continuing around
the landfill footprint in a counterclockwise direction. Stages A through F represent the
northern third of the NVL and have the following areas:

• Stage A: 6.29-acres
• Stage B: 6.68-acres
• Stage C: 7.00-acres
• Stage D: 7.02-acres
• Stage E: 6.68-acres
• Stage F: 4.40-acres
4.3.1.2 Landfill Closure Stages G-K
Landfill closure Phases G through K represent the next 5 cover construction projects and will
cover the southern third of the NVL. Stages G through K have the approximate closure areas:

• Stage G: 6.83-acres
• Stage H: 10.50-acres
• Stage I: 13.94-acres
• Stage J: 12.66-acres
• Stage K: 13.92-acres
2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part III August 12, 2022
Page 31
4.3.1.3 Landfill Closure Stages L-O
The last closure construction activities at NVL will be Stages L through O in the east central
area of the landfill. Stages L through will tie into the previous landfill closure Stages and will
complete the closure at NVL. Stages L through O have approximate closure areas:
•Stage L: 9.62-acres
•Stage M: 10.36-acres
•Stage N: 6.74-acres
•Stage O: 10.64-acres
Financial assurance for the site will be based on the costs for the largest area of the landfill
that is open, currently estimated at 806,000 square feet.
4.3.1.4 Total Capacity of the Site.
The approximate quantity of air space available at the NVL is 26,691,000 cubic yards (CY)
including daily and intermediate cover. Removing daily, intermediate, and final cover soils
volume leaves approximately 21,352,800 cubic yards for waste. A projection of landfill life is
provided in Appendix Q. This analysis assumes a steady 2% population growth and indicates
that the landfill will reach its design capacity in approximately 58 years from the time waste
is first accepted.
4.3.2 Closure Procedures
Closure activities for each Stage of the landfill will take place in accordance with the
following procedures:
4.3.2.1 Submittal of Plans, Specifications, and QA/QC Plan
Four months before the intended closure of each of the aforementioned Stages, a design
package consisting of drawings, construction specifications, and a QA/QC plan will be
submitted to the DWMRC. The DWMRC will have approximately 60 days to review and
comment on the adequacy of the drawings, specifications and quality assurance/quality
control measure envisioned for the construction. Comments from DWMRC will be
incorporated into a final “bid” package for the cover installation.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part III August 12, 2022
Page 32
4.3.2.2 Formal Notification
The Director of the DWMRC will be notified of the intent to implement the closure plan in
whole or part, 60 days prior to the date projected for final receipt of waste.
4.3.2.3 Additional Closure Activities
Additional closure activities that may be required to close either the entire landfill or only
one stage are as follows:
• Regrading of all side slopes where slopes are steeper than 4 horizontal to 1 vertical.
• Regrading of all the top of the landfill to slopes between 4 horizontal to 1 vertical,
but not flatter than 5 percent.
• Finalization (including DWMRC comments) of the final cover design package. Final
cover design package will include, at a minimum, plans, construction specifications,
and QA/QC protocols to guide the construction of the final cover.
• Bidding and construction of final cover.
• Construction of a maintenance road over the cover.
• Construction of run-off control structures.
• Vegetation of the final cover soils.
• Preparation of As-Built drawings.
• Inspection of final cover construction by Owner (City of Logan), Engineer (engineer of
record) and DWMRC personnel.
• Preparation of Certificate of Closure by a Utah registered Professional Engineer.
• Submittal of required documents to the State DWMRC and to the Cache County
Recorder’s office.
4.4 CLOSURE COSTS
4.4.1 Immediate Closure
The closure of the landfill may occur before the final design capacity is reached. If the
development of the NVL continues as planned, the largest area to be open will be the ini tial
phase of the landfill that includes Cell 1, Cell 2, and Cell 3. The area of waste exposed once
Cell 3 is constructed will be approximately 806,000 square feet. As the landfill development
continues and the first three cells are filled, the first Sta ge of cover construction can take
place. The costs associated with the closure of the largest area open will entail the final
grading of that area, engineering of final cover, preparation of plans, specifications, and

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part III August 12, 2022
Page 33
QA/QC plan as well as the final cover installation. The cost of closure for the largest area of
the landfill to be open is $2.5 million. Details of this estimate are provided in Appendix R.
4.4.2 Planned Closure in Stages
If the landfilling operations continues as anticipated by this permit application, the landfill will
be closed in 15 Stages described in Section 4.3.1, following this plan will spread out the total
costs of closure over the life of the landfill and reduce the amount of landfill requiring final
closure at any one time. It is possible that unforeseen circumstances dictate closure of larger
areas. In addition to the activities and costs associated with the planned cover stages, closure
activities will involve additional flattening of 3:1 intermediate slopes to 4:1 (or flatter) as
required for perimeter slopes and placement of final cover over all areas that have only been
treated with daily or intermediate cover.

Details of the closure cost estimates are provided in Appendix R.
4.4.3 Final Inspection
The DWMRC will be invited to inspect the final grading of the landfill. After approval of the
final grading, a schedule will be established for vegetation. Agency personnel will then be
invited to return to inspect the success of the erosion control system after one year.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part III August 12, 2022
Page 34
SECTION 5 – POST-CLOSURE PLAN
5.1 GENERAL
Post-closure financial assurance will provide for continued monitoring of ground water,
surface water, leachate, gas, and maintenance of the cover as described in the post -closure
plan below. The total cost of post-closure care is currently estimated at $1.6M. A detailed
analysis of post-closure costs is provided in Appendix R.
5.2 POST-CLOSURE PLAN
In accordance with rules R315-302-2 and R315-303 post-closure activities at the landfill will
continue for 30 years, or as long as the Director of the DWMRC deems necessary for the NVL
to be stabilized and to protect human he alth and the environment. The post-closure
activities will include the following work:
5.2.1 Changes to Record of Title
A Plat Map and Statement of Fact concerning the location of the landfill shall be recorded
with the Cache County Recorder not later than 60 days after certification of closure. The
recorded document will restrict future land use. Compatible land uses wi ll be identified in
the Cache County comprehensive planning documents.
5.2.2 Monitoring Plan
Post-closure activities will commence immediately upon closure of the total facility.

The monitoring frequencies for the different media are shown in the following table. Post-
closure monitoring will be conducted as follows:

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part III August 12, 2022
Page 35
Post-Closure Monitoring Schedule
Type Frequency Apparatus
Ground Water Semi-Annual Refer to Ground Water Monitoring Plan
Surface Water Semi-Annual Refer to Operations Plan
Leachate Quarterly Sump at southwest corner of Landfill
Gas and Ambient Air Quarterly Refer to Operations Plan
Settlement Annual Site survey
5.2.2.1 Ground Water
Wells have been installed at the site in order to collect samples and background water
quality information from locations up and down-gradient of the landfill. Additional wells will
be installed in the future and sampled during post-closure.
5.2.2.2 Surface Water
Surface water will be monitored in accordance with procedures provided in the UPDES
Permit. The UPDES information is provided in Appendix G.
5.2.2.3 Leachate
The presence of leachate will be monitored in the leachate collection pond located east of
the landfill footprint (Appendix A, Drawing 3). Accumulations of leachate in excess of 3 feet
will be removed and transported the Logan City Wastewater plant for treatment.
5.2.2.4 Gas Monitoring
All structures (if any) associated with periodic site monitoring or landfill gas collection
system will be monitored quarterly.
5.2.2.5 Settlement
At final closure, the boundary markers used to designate closed areas of the landfill will be
used to measure settlement of refuse materials. Additional survey markers will be placed as

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part III August 12, 2022
Page 36
necessary to monitor areas of suspected movement. Ground elevation will be measured at
the base of each boundary marker.
5.2.3 Inspection and Maintenance
Monitoring facilities, fences, roads, buildings, cover, and run-on and run-off systems will be
inspected in accordance with the schedule presented in the post-closure cost estimate
(Appendix R).

Facilities will be inspected for damage, deterioration, and impaired function with regard to the
listed standards and original design. Deficiencies will be corrected promptly. Deficiencies,
repairs, and restoration of function will be documented in the landfill record.

2022 North Valley Landfill Permit Application Part III August 12, 2022
Page 37
SECTION 6 – POST-CLOSURE LAND USE
Logan City will design a post-closure land use plan to be implemented at the landfill within 5
years prior to the end of the landfill’s life. Logan City will select an end use for the landfill
consistent with good landfilling practices. The final land use selected for the landfill will be
based upon maintaining a functional landfill cover. Land use activities will be approved by
Logan City prior to implementation. Typical end uses may range from green waste
processing and composting to recreational activities or open space. Since the closure of the
site may be over 70 years away and with the potential development options that could occur
in this area, it is not currently possible to establish a land use plan that will be consistent
with surrounding land uses and the needs of area residents or Cache County.
