PERMIT ISSUANCE MEMO
TO: Debra Watts
FROM: David Goodrich yl
RE: Permit To Inject Oxygen and Hydrogen, 3DMe (HRC Advanced)
Gilbarco Facility, Guilford County
I recommend that Permit Number W10400091 be modified and reissued to Gilbarco, Inc. to inject oxygen and
hydrogen, as well as 3DMe (HRC Advanced), to remediate groundwater contaminated with chlorinated solvents and
petroleum hydrocarbons. Operation of the hydrogen and oxygen systems is expected to continue for several more
years, which is why the permit is being issued until March 31, 2015. The injection of 3DMe is a one-time event into
16 new injection wells (IW-01 through IW-16) which is intended to enhance the remediation of the chlorinated
solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons by chemical dispersion. Staff from Winston-Salem Regional Office recommend
the modification of this permit. Wells which have been, or are going to be, used for the injection of oxygen gas
and/or hydrogen gas are wells MW-7, MW-10, MW-13, MW-14D, MW-15, MW-16, MW-23D, MW-24, MW-25,
MW-29, MW-31, MW-32, MW-34, MW-40, MW-41, MW-43D, MW-47, and MW-49.
The original monitoring plan was to obtain groundwater samples on a quarterly schedule from monitor wells MW-7,
MW-11, MW-13D, MW-14, MW-14D, MW-23D, MW-24, MW-25, MW-42, MW-43D, and MW-45 for analysis of
field parameters, VOCs, isopropyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, ethylene dibromide, and xylenes. Monitor wells
MW-40 and MW-41 were to be sampled for field parameters, VOCs, EDB, methyl tert-butyl ether, and lead. Field
parameters consisted of water levels, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO),
and temperature.
Over time, the wells on the sampling list were modified by the removal of some wells and the addition of others.
Monitoring for the permit consists of the quarterly groundwater sampling of wells MW-12, MW-13D, MW-33, MW-
34, MW-40, MW-48, MW-51, and MW-52 for analysis of VOCs, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, and Total
Chlorinated Hydrocarbons. The locations of these injection wells and monitor wells are presented on Figure 5.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Debra Watts
FROM: Qu Qi
SUBJECT: 5I Injection well permit application
Gilbarco
Guilford County
WI0400091
The UIC Group has received a permit application for a type 5I permit for Gilbarco site. The
permit application has been reviewed and issuance of the permit is recommended. A summary
of the application follows.
Site Overview: Groundwater is contaminated by chlorinated solvents and petroleum
hydrocarbons. There is a pump and treat system operating at the site. This permit
application is for inject hydrogen gas into to the plume to treat chlorinated solvents (10
wells) and later oxygen gas to treat the petroleum products (10 wells). There are six
wells are used for both hydrogen and oxygen injection, so the total injection well number
is 14. The soil at the site is medium grained sandy silt. The water table is approximately
7 to 30 feet below the ground surface.
2. Injection: Gases will be delivered to the site in cylinders, and distributed into the
groundwater plume through HiSOC/iSOC units. HiSOC/iSOC Units improve the
efficiency of distributing the gas by diffusing it at a very small size, so the gas is readily
available to dissolve into groundwater. The gas will saturate the groundwater and flow
with the groundwater away from the injection points into the aquifer. One of the
proposed injectant is hydrogen, which is used for reductive biodegradation of chlorinated
solvents. The oxygen will be used later to treat petroleum contamination.
3. Monitoring: The proposed monitoring schedule: Ten monitoring wells will be sampled
for VOCs, and relevant geochemical parameters on a quarterly base after the system
starts.
4. Epidemiology: Dr. Luanne Williams provided a risk evaluation of oxygen and hydrogen
and did not identify any risks that would prevent injection.
5. RO Concerns: The WSRO did not provide any comments about the injection.
Based upon the remarks presented above, I recommend issuance of the permit. If you have any
questions, please let me know.
