FROM: David Goodrich.
RE: Renewal of Permit to Inject Sodium Persulfate Sodium Hydroxide
Former Knollwood Gulf Service Station
I recommend that Permit Number W10400198 be renewed to the Atlantic Richfield Company 1
BP Products North America, Inc. to inject Klozur (Sodium Persulfate) and Sodium Hydroxide to
remediate soils and groundwater. Injections and groundwater monitoring are still in progress at
the facility under the terms and conditions of the existing permit which was issued on August 9,
2011. The renewed permit will be effective from August 1, 2013 to July 31, 2018.
The Winston-Salem Regional Office approves of this renewal, with the addition of single a post -
injection sampling of Monitoring Well MW-16 for Sodium Persulfate, pH, Sulfate, and Carbon
Dioxide. In accordance with the original monitoring schedule, quarterly monitoring is ongoing at
the facility as of this time, and a second injection event is planned for the very near future. To
date, only one of the three permitted injection events have taken place.
Groundwater monitoring is scheduled to take place on a quarterly schedule at wells MW-3, MW-
5R, MW-8R, MW-18, and MW-19 for pH, specific conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential,
temperature, BTEX, MTBE, sulfate, and carbon dioxide_ The renewed permit contains language
requiring the continuation of groundwater monitoring until certain concentrations are achieved.

PERMIT ISSUANCE MEMO

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.

I agree with your recommendation. Continue monitoring the referenced wells until at least 2 events show sulfate at
pre -injection levels or meets 2L standards.

Michael,
never received a response for the attached report for the last sampling event. 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. Please see section 3.2 of the report for
my recommendations

Greetings -
We received the report titled Final Status Report, Former Knollwood Gbif Station (BP #24163), 381 Knollwood Street,
Winston-Salem, North Carolino (dated December 15, 2014). 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. Thank you for your cooperation.
