AxNano is submitting this Notification of Intent to Construct Injection Wells at the subject site to conduct a small pilot study (approx. 2,500 square feet). Our pilot study is intended to determine whether our RemRxtm product can be injected, the radius of influence of the injection, and nature of the RemRxtm product once injected. Injections will be performed using a direct -push drill rig at injection pressures which may range from 20 to 1,000 pounds per square inch. To assess the injection results, soil borings will be advanced using a direct -push drill rig. Groundwater quality parameters (conductivity, pH, oxidation/reduction potential, dissolved oxygen) will also be monitored utilizing existing monitoring wells in the vicinity of the pilot study site. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Alexis Carpenter, PhD Principal Scientist (336)217-5171 alexis.camenter@remrx-emediabn.com ad — Jeff Albano, PG Geologist (803)370-8022 ieff.albano@remrxremediation.com 2901 East Gate City Blvd, Suite 2200 I Greensboro, NC 27401 1336-217-5171 www.remrxremediation.com DATE: February 1 , 2021 NC Department of Environmental Quality — Division of Water Resources (DWR) NOTIFICATION OF INTENT (NOI) TO CONSTRUCT OR OPERATE INJECTION WELLS The following are `permitted by rule" and do not require an individual permit when constructed in accordance with the rules of 15A NCAC 02C.0200 (NOTE: This form must be received at least 14 DAYS prior to iniectioal AQUIFER TEST WELLS (15A NCAC 02C .0220) These wells are used to inject uncontaminated fluid into an aquifer to determine aquifer hydraulic characteristics. IN SITU REMEDIATION (15A NCAC 02C .0225) or TRACER WELLS (i5A NCAC 02C .0229): 1) Passive Injection Systems - In -well delivery systems to diffuse injectants into the subsurface.

MONITORING PLAN — Describe below or in separate attachment a monitoring plan to be used to determine if violations of groundwater quality standards specified in Subchapter 02L result from the injection activity. AxNano proposes to monitorgroundwater quality parameters at site monitoring well MW-2 for a period of 6 months post injection. Monitoring will be conducted on a monthly basis. Groundwater parameters to be monitored include conductivity, pH, oxidation/reduction potential, and dissolved oxygen. In addition to groundwater qualityparameters, groundwater may be collected for analysis of persulfate, sulfate, and permanganate. M.
