RE: Notification of Intent to Construct Injection Wells
North Carolina A&T Farm
3136 McConnel Road
Greensboro, NC 27405
Dear Sir or Madam:
Rer
,M.
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

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. Examples include
ORC socks, iSOC systems, and other gas infusion methods (Note: Injection Event Records (IER) do not need to be
submitted for replacement of each sock used in ORC systems).
2) Small -Scale Injection Operations — Injection wells located within a land surface area not to exceed 10,000
square feet for the purpose of soil or groundwater remediation or tracer tests. An individual permit shall be required
for test or treatment areas exceeding 10,000 square feet.
3) Pilot Tests - Preliminary studies conducted for the purpose of evaluating the technical feasibility of a
remediation strategy in order to develop a full scale remediation plan for future implementation, and where the
surface area of the injection zone wells is located within an area that does not exceed five percent of the land surface
above the known extent of groundwater contamination. An individual permit shall be required to conduct more
than one pilot test on any separate groundwater contaminant plume.
4) Air Injection Wells - Used to inject ambient air to enhance in -situ treatment of soil or groundwater.
5) In -Situ Thermal Wells (IST) — Used to `heat' contaminated groundwater to enhance remediation
Print Clearly or Type Information. Illegible Submittals Will Be Returned as Incomplete.

different injection wells, plume, additives, etc.) and still meets the deemed permitted by rule criteria, provide the
previously assigned permit tracking number and any needed relevant information to assess and approve injection:

our RemRx" product can be injected, the radius of influence of the injection, and nature of the RemRx"" product
once injected. Injections will be performed using a direct -push drill rig at infection 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.

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.
