June 2011 UIC-51.'53 DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY AQUIFER PROTECTION SECTION August 8, 2011 PERMIT ISSUANCE MEMO TO: Debra Watts THROUGH: Thomas Slusser FROM: David Goodrich RE: Permit To Inject Sodium Persulfate and Sodium Hydroxide Former Knollwood Gulf Service Station I recommend that Permit Number WI0400198 be issued to the Atlantic Richfield CompanylBP Products North America to inject Klozur (Sodium Persulfate) and Sodium Hydroxide to remediate soils and groundwater contaminated with gasoline and diesel fuel. SITE DESCRIPTION The site is paved and is currently used as a parking lot. It was formerly a retail fueling, station/convenience store having underground storage tanks for gasoline, diesel, waste oil, and kerosene storage. A subsurface release of gasoline took place before or during 1983 from a ruptured UST product line. Details concerning the loss of diesel fuel were not reported. Previous site remediation efforts have included the removal of approximately 500 tons of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons in December of 1990 upon the closure and removal of the older USTs, as well as the extraction of 308 gallons of free product by a recovery system in the mid to late 1980's. A new set of five USTs was installed in 1994 and remained active until they were (all) removed in 2004. HYDROGEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION The site is located in the Milton lithotectonic belt in the Piedmont physiographic province. Reference sources state that bedrock is a strongly foliated biotite gneiss and schist, however, none of the site borings (to a maximum depth of 55 feet) have been deep enough to encounter bedrock or broken material that is usually found just above the bedrock. The overburden materials consist of soil composed of silty/clayey sand, sandy clay/sill, and silt/clay overlying saprolite. The water table has been encountered at depths ranging from 10 to 16 feet below the ground surface and the average hydraulic gradient is approximately 0.012 (1 2%) towards the northwest. Using a hydraulic conductivity value of 0.13 feet per day from slug tests and an effective porosity value of 20% results in an estimated groundwater flow rate of approximately 2.8 feet per year. EXTENT OF CONTAMINATION The extent of contamination (as evidenced by contaminated ground water) appears to be approximately �20 feet long (Figure 4), approximately 200 feet wide, and 50 feet deep (Figures SA &. 513). Assuming an effective porosity of 20%, this represents a total impacted ground water volume of 440,000 cubic feet. PROPOSED INJECTION The injectant is an oxidant and catalyst that will be injected into 40 injection points per event (made by direct -push) in three separate injection events (120 points total) separated by ninety days between each event. The total volume of injection fluid will be 30,000 gallons per event, resulting in a grand total volume of 90,000 gallons (12,032 cubic feet). This injection volume represents less than 3% of the volume of impacted ground water, HOW IT WORKS The injectant works by oxidizing the hydrocarbon compounds. The initial injectant substance, sodium persulfate ("Klozur") is a strong oxidant which will undergo alkaline activation by the addition (mixing) of sodium hydroxide, which serves as a catalyst. This chemical combination will keep the pH above a level of 10.5 standard units and facilitate the oxidation of the hydrocarbons by direct oxidation and by the formation of free radicals that further support the oxidation process. MONITORING The monitoring plan proposed in the application package will be followed. This plan consists of installing two additional monitoring wells, and then sampling these wells prior to the initiation of injection activities, along with two other wells, for the field parameters of pH, specific conductivity, oxidation- reduction potential, temperature, and the laboratory parameters of total petroleum hydrocarbons gasoline range organics and total petroleum hydrocarbons diesel range organics by SW-846 Method 8015. Approximately 90 days after the first injection event, sampling will be performed for the same set of field parameters and for the laboratory parameters of BTEX and MTBE by EPA Method 6200B, for sulfate by EPA Method 300, and for carbon dioxide by EPA Method 4500-COS. Sampling will be performed (repeated) quarterly thereafter, or 90 days after the next injection event (and quarterly thereafter) if the results of the first post -injection sampling event indicate that a second injection event is needed. EPIDEMIOLOGY On August 25, 2008 and on April 30, 2009. the DHHS' Epidemiology Branch provided comments on sodium persulfate and on sodium hydroxide, respectively, for groundwater remediation. Dr. Kenneth Ruda did not present any information that would preclude the use of these products for injection but did provide a health risk analysis and worker safety precautions, which are in Part X of the attached permit. REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENTS Shuying Wang of the Winston-Salem Regional Office recommend issuance of this permit. The injection area is situated in an active parking area near a busy street and the Regional Office is recommending the addressing of safety issues at the time of the injection activities. The Regional Office is also recommending a permit condition requiring the submission of a project summary report which includes a final project evaluation within 9 months of completing the injection and monitoring/sampling activities. 1 Assigged Date: 3 � "i 6 Reviewer: bb-o"c' Existing ermit No.: �,tr7�L "�t� $ Date to Processing: N2 Owner: EI Existing Owner Type: on -Government io ❑ Individual Organization ❑ Unknown ❑ Government 0 ❑ Municipal ❑ Federal ❑ County ❑ State Facility: WE)dsting roposed Facility Type: El Facility ❑ Operation Permit Tvpe: Deemed ❑ Aquifer Test Wells ❑ Geothermal Aqueous Closed Loop Welts ❑ Geothermal Direct Expansion Closed Loop Wells ❑ In Situ Groundwater Remediation Wells circle one { air sparge, passive, small scale, pilot test } ❑ Stormwater Drainage Wells ❑ Tracer Wells ❑ Other Wells Facility Reeulated Activities: Individual ❑ Aquifer Storage and Recovery Wells ❑ Geothermal Heating & Cooling Water Return Wells VIn ,Situ Groundwater Remediation Wells ❑ Experimental Technology Wells ❑ Tracer Wells ❑ Aquifer Recharge Wells ❑ Subsidence Control Wells ❑ Salinity Barrier Wells Aplicatinn Type: ❑ New ❑ Major Modification ❑ Minor Modification ❑ Name Change ❑ Ownership Change ff Renewal ❑ Renewal wl Modification ❑ Rescission Notes: -S:� J��• UIC RIMS Entry Form Jan. 24, 2013 Application Reviewer: Pre -Review: Conducted? _ Yes ❑ No O.K. to Process? @I Yes ❑ No If No, What Action Is Needed? ❑ Pre -Review Return ❑ Hold, Pendine Receipt of Addinfo.: Name/Affiliation of Person Contacted: Date(s) of Contact: ❑ By Phone ❑ By E-Mail ❑ By Letter Owner: ❑ Existing S Unknown Owner T}pe m Non -Gov't (❑ Ind. or ® Org) ❑ Gov. -Municipal ❑ Goy': County ❑ Goy. -State ❑ Gov. -Federal Facilim/Oyeration: ❑ Proposed ❑ Existing Regulated Activities: ,Application/Permit: Perm it 7: pe: ❑ Injection Water Only GSHP Well System (5QW) ❑ Injection Mixed Fluid GSHP Well System (5QM ) ❑ Injection Tracer Well (5T) ❑ Injection Experimental Technology (51?5) Project Type: [% New ❑ Major Mod.

We will be collecting groundwater samples again in October and wanted to confirm that you are in agreement to only collect samples for sulfate analysis from 4 wells (513, 8R, 18, and 19) since those are the only exceedances at the site.

In the Conclusions and Recommendations Section, sulfate concentrations resulting from injection activities in MW-5R, MW-8R, MW-18, and MW-19 are still above the 15A NCAC 2L standard of 250 mg1L. One of the recommendations is to continue to collect samples from these welts until the water quality meets the 2L standards. We concur with this recommendation and request these welts be monitored until sulfate meets the 2L standard for 2 consecutive semiannual monitoring events- At that point, the Division will consider closing the permit and issuing a Permit Completion Letter_ If you have any questions or comments, please advise.
