Wilmington Dear Mr. Sisk:
919/395-3900
Winston-Salem In accordance with. the policy of the Division of
919/896-7007 Environmental Management to ensure the good quality of
North Carolina' s groundwater, the referenced Permit
requires several activities related to groundwater
monitoring. The following guidelines are presented to
assist you in complying with those requirements. If you
have any questions concerning these matters, you should
contact Don Link at the address shown below to discuss the
requirements relevant to your specific facility:
Asheville Regional Office
59 Woodfin Place
Asheville, NC 28801
(704) 251 -6208
1 . Condition No. 16: The installation of monitor
wells as approved by the Department ' s
Regional Asheville Office.
THE MONITOR WELLS MUST BE DEVELOPED , TO A TOTAL
SUSPENDED SOLIDS LEVEL NOT EXCEEDING 5 mg/L.
Prior to accepting a new well, you should verify
that the driller has developed the well to an
acceptable level as stated above. Failure to do
so may result in samples containing excessive
amounts of suspended solids, due to improper well

development, which could lead to analysis and
compliance problems. The North Carolina Well
Construction Standards 15A NCAC 2C . 0105 require
that a Permit be issued prior to construction
of any monitoring well, and therefore permit
application forms are - attached for your
convenience. To facilitate the permitting
process, you should contact the appropriate
Regional Office personnel as described above, to
discuss the location and construction requirements
relevant to your specific facility.
NOTE: Please disregard the above if installation of
approved monitoring wells has already been
completed.
2 . Condition No. 17 : Sampling of the referenced wells
on the schedule and for the constituents listed
• below:
SCHEDULE: The monitor wells must be sampled
initially after construction and
thereafter every April, August and December.
CONSTITUENTS:
COD TDS (500. 0 )
Chloride (250 . 0) Orthophosphate
SO4 Fecal Coliforms
TOC Water Level
Total Suspended Solids
pH (6 . 5-8 . 5 standard units)
Selenium (0 . 01 ) Magnesium
Calcium
Volatile Organic Compounds (in December Only
by Method 1 or 2. below)
Method 1 : Method 6230D (Capillary - Column) ,
"Standard Methods For The
Examination of Water and
Wastewater", 17th ed. , 1989
Method 2: Method 502 . 2 "Methods For The
Determination Of Organic Compounds In
Drinking Water", U.S. EPA - 600/4-88/039
If any volatile organic compounds are
detected by method 6230D, or the equivalent
method 502 . 2, then EPA methods 604 and 611
must also be run to detect other organic
compounds which may be present. The results
of all analyses specified in the monitoring
requirements, including 604 and 611 if
required, must be submitted simultaneously.

The measurement of water levels must be made prior
to sampling for the remaining parameters.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum
allowable concentrations in groundwater for the
various analytical parameters, as specified in 15A
NCAC 2L [Groundwater Classifications and
Standards] . Unless otherwise specified, the units
for these concentrations are expressed as
milligrams per liter.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by
method 6230D, or the equivalent method 502 . 2, then
EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to
detect other organic compounds which may be
present. The results of all analyses specified in
the monitoring requirements, including 604 and 611
if required, must be submitted simultaneously.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are
detected in any downgradient monitoring well,
additional sampling and analysis must be conducted
to identify the individual constituents comprising
this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration
as measured in the background monitor well. exceeds
10 mg/1, this concentration will be taken to
represent the naturally occurring TOC
concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally
occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient
wells shall be subject to the additional sampling
and analysis as described above.
A supply of forms (GW-59) on which the analytical
results must be reported are attached. Instructions are
provided on the reverse of the white copy of each 4-part
form. The analytical results should be sent to the address
shown at the top of the form and are due in our office no
later than the last working day of the month following
sample collection.
Additional forms will be provided upon receipt of
the attached form GW-59 RO.
FOR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATED TO
REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUNDWATER QUALITY PROTECTION,
PLEASE REFER TO YOUR PERMIT.
