This renewal is for continued monitoring and there are no current plans to inject right now. Please refer to the attached memo from Michael Rogers from April I0, 2013 for details about Site description, Hydrogeologic description and proposed injection.

TO: Debra Watts FROM: Michael Rogers I' RE: Issuance of Permit to Inject EOS Pro, 13-12, and sodium bromide (Permit #W10400176) Surry County Public Works 1 recommend that Pen -nit Number W10400176 be re -issued to Surry County Public Works to inject EOS Pro, B-12, and sodium bromide tracer to remediate groundwater (GW) contaminated with chlorinated hydrocarbons at the Surry County Closed Landfill, 237 Landfill Rd., Mt. Airy, Surry County, NC 27030. A permit was issued to this Applicant on May 6, 2011, and expires April 30.. 2013. The submittal of this application is for permit renewal for three injections of the previously mentioned compounds. All of the proposed injection activity is essentially the same as the previous injection activities except for the following: ■ They are using EOS Pro instead of EOS 598B42. EOS Pro has neutral pH, whereas 598B42 is acidic. • They are using vitamin 13-12, and not using BAC-9. ■ The monitoring interval is being changed to semiannually to conform to the requirements of the DWM Solid Waste Division requirements. ■ I am requesting a 30 day notice prior to installing the proposed injection well IW-7 (if it is ever constructed). This well is located up gradient of a water supply well used by the scale house. According to Mark Durway, this well is used for washing trucks and has a sign posted that it is not for potable use. He said it will probably be abandoned prior to any injection north of the scale house_ Three additional monitoring wells will be installed if the injection well is installed (see injection Plan Table in the addendum that has a Post -it sticky). Also, he confirmed that the injection well, if needed, will be installed within the property boundary. Refer to previous memo for more detailed info on this site.
