The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Waste Management (DWM), Pre-
Regulatory Landfill (PRLF) Unit is making you aware of a PRLF located adjacent to a planned
development (The Woods at Galen) for which you are the contact (from this article).
A PRLF is defined as any land area, whether publicly or privately owned, on which municipal solid waste
disposal occurred prior to January 1, 1983, but not thereafter.
This link will open the DWM Site Locator Tool where you find all DWM sites in North Carolina. You can
use the search tool to zoom in on "Rural Garbage Service" to locate this specific PRLF.
Certain hazards can be present at these old landfill sites in the soil, groundwater, and soil gas - and it is
important that you are award of the potential risks. This site has not yet been assessed by the PRLF Unit,
so the area of waste and associated contamination is not defined at this time. Also, please note that the
PRLF Unit does not allow for redevelopment of these old landfills. Redevelopment would need to go
through the DWM - Brownsfields Redevelopment Section.
If any imminent plans of development or redevelopment on or immediately adjacent to any PRLF, please
contact: Ryan Channell, Pre-Regulatory Landfill Unit Supervisor at 919-707-8333 or by e-mail,
ryan.channell@deq.nc.gov.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact me by e-mail analee.thornburg@deq.nc.gov
or call 919-707-8227.
