SUBJECT: Monitor Wells
American Thread - Sevier Plant
McDowell County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Eslick:
On October 28, 1986, Jim Reid and I representing the Division of Environ-
mental Management met with Hubert Johnson and Jerry McKinney of American Thread
to select the locations for the groundwater monitoring wells that will be re-
quired in the permit for the non-discharging ash sludge lagoon. At that time
we selected locations for three monitor wells. One monitor well was located
upgradient from the ash basin and will be used for background data purposes.
Two other monitor wells were located downgradient from the ash basin. One down-
gradient site was located on the northeast side of the basin. The other site,
as per my telephone conversation with Jerry McKinney of October 30, 1986, was
to be located on the northwest side of the ash basin between the unused ash
storage basin and State Road 1556 which is located in front of the plant.
The parameters to be analysed for in the monitor wells during the months
of March, July, and November will be listed in your permit when issued.
During the October 28, 1986, visit we also discussed groundwater monitoring
and located three monitor well sites at the three unlined basins of the waste-
water treatment plant as we are planning to add groundwater monitoring require-
ments to your NPDES permit in the near future. I would recommend you consider
constructing monitor wells around the wastewater treatment plant at the same
time as you construct wells around the ash pit to help minimize expense.
These monitor wells should be constructed to a depth of 30 feet and be
equipped with a ten-foot section of well screen on the bottom. I have enclosed
a diagram of a typical monitor well installation as well as "Applications to

Construct Monitor Wells". One application should be completed for the ash basin
site and one for the wastewater treatment plant site if you plan to construct
these wells at the same time. These applications shall be submitted to this
office prior to well construction so that well construction permits may be
issued.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me.

Dear Mr. Eslick:
As part of the Division of Environmental Management' s com-
prehensive approach in addressing the impact of waste treat-
ment, storage, or disposal projects on the environment, your
permit application has been forwarded to us for assessment of
the potential impact of the project on groundwater quality. ,
Our initial review indicates that the data submitted is
not sufficient to make this assessment.
Before your application can be processed therefore, you
are requested to submit the following information to the
Groundwater Section. This information should be submitted in
full within 60 days of the date of this letter. Failure to com-
ply may result in the returning of this application as incom-
plete.
(1) A general location map, showing orientation of the
facility with reference to at least two (2) geographic
references (numbered roads, named streams/rivers, etc. ) .
(2) A site-specific map, with topographic contours (contour
interval should not exceed 10 feet or 25 percent of total
site relief, whichever is less) , showing all
facility-related structures within the property boundary
and the location of all wells, springs, lakes, ponds, or
other surface drainage features within 500 feet of the
Pollution Prevention Pays

principal waste treatment/disposal site (s) . Wells should
be labeled as to their primary usage (drinking water, pro-
cess water, monitoring, etc. )
(3) A chemical analysis of the wastewater or sludge, just
prior to disposal, to include the following:
(a) Total Organic Carbon (g) Magnesium
(b) Biological Oxygen Demand (h) Phosphorus
(c) Chlorides (i) Phenol
(d) Nitrates (j) pH
(e) Sodium (k) EP Toxicity
(f) Calcium (1) Total Dissolved Solids
(4) Hydrogeologic profile, via hand or powered soil auger
borings, to a depth of 20 feet or auger refusal, whichever
is less. The number should be sufficient to define:
(a) the major types of lithologic strata underlying the
site
(b) the estimated vertical hydraulic conductivity of the
consolidated thickness of total strata encountered
(c) the depth, thickness, hydraulic conductivity and
coefficient of permeability of the major lithologic
units encountered to the total boring depth
(d) depth of the mean seasonal high water table (if
definable from soil morphology or from evaluation of
other applicable available data)
NOTE: In the event the permitted facility will utilize
several separate disposal fields overlying
different major soil types , at least one (1)
hydrogeologic profile should be established for
each of the major soil types.
NOTE: In the event that the surficial (water table)
aquifer is less than 20 feet the hydraulic
relationship (rate and direction of groundwater
flow) between this unit and the underlying
artesian or semi-confined aquifer unit must be
determined.
(5) Detailed plans and specifications of the proposed
facility.
Please feel free to contact the Groundwater Section, at
(919) 733-3221 , if clarification or information is required.
