I om,
Here is some info related to the EPA concerns about PFC"s. Jessica and I are trying to schedule a call with the EPA to
understand the implications associated with any health related advisory. Will keep you posted. Let us know if questions
or concerns.

Subject: RE: PFOA
Importance: High
Jay, we were actually hoping to schedule a meeting this week with you all to discuss. Our analysis and questions are
below and can be a starting point for discussion.
Two community water systems may be of concern for PFCs in North Carolina based on UCMR 3 and other data.
Additional small systems may be of concern because they purchase water from one of the systems with data. Because
small systems were not required to sample as part of UCMR 3, data does not exist for the small systems which purchase
water from the larger systems. A summary of information about each system is presented along with questions which
would help EPA to better understand issues with this system.
City of Greensboro (NCO241010) is a community water system that serves 277,080 people. This system uses Lake
Brandt, Lake Townsend, and the Haw River as sources. The UCMR 3 data for this system is for the Townsend Filter in
Lake Townsend and the Mitchell Filter which is in Lake Brant. Lake Townsend and Lake Brant are impoundments on the
Reedy Fork of the Haw River. The source area for the Reedy Fork is the Piedmont Triad Airport, a major airport which
serves several cities. Only the upstream intake, the Mitchell Filter which is closest to the airport has detections of
concern on the UCMR 3 data. There are two PWS systems which are located upstream on Lake Brant but they are
reported to be groundwater. Greensboro resells water to two systems which do not have UCMR 3 data, the Town of
Jamestown (NCO241030) and Oakwood Forest MHC (NCO241243).
DEQ-CFW 00059081

1) Is this information correct?
2) What percentage of the Greensboro water supply is sourced from the Mitchell Filter?
3) Would the infrastructure be adequate and supply from just the Lake Townsend intake and the Haw River intake
besufficient tosupply the entire Greensboro community water system?
4) Does the Source Water Assessment for the Mitchell Filter indicate that there are any potential sources of PF[s
that may impact this intake?
5) Are there any known private wells near the Piedmont Triad Airport or Lake Brant?
G) Is any of the water from the Mitchell Filter intake resold to the Town of Jamestown or Oakwood Forest MHC? If
so, are there alternative sources for these facilities?
Moore County Pinehurst (NC0363108) is a community water system that serves 19,368 people. There are multiple
sources of water for this system. However, in the UCMR 3 data only Fire Station # 1 has reported values of PFCs which
may be of concern. The other eighteen sources sampled in UCMR 3 did not report PFCs at concentrations above the
screening level. SIDWIS indicates that this system is sourced from purchased surface water. However, the UCMR 3 data
Fire Station # I is reportedly sourced from groundwater. There are three sources for surface water for this system:
Aberdeen (NC0363020)xvhich resells groundwater, Southern Pines (N[03363010) which resells surface water, and East
Moore Water District (NC5063011) which resells surface water. Aberdeen and Southern Pines have UCMR 3 data and
PFCs are not reported so they would be unlikely to be a source for PFCs for Fire Station #1. East Moore does not have
UCK4R3data because itisasmall system (serves 52OOpeop|e). Also, itmay beofconcern since itshares aborder with
Fort Bragg which includes Pope Army Airfield which may be sources of PFCs in fire training areas or other activities.
More County — Pinehurst in turn resells water to More County — Seven Lakes (NC0363117) and East More Water District
1) Is this information correct?
2) What is the source of water for Fire Station # I? Is it groundwater or is it purchased from East Moore Water
District, or is there another source?
3) Does the Source Water Assessment for Fire Station # 1 indicate that there are any potential PFC sources that
may beofconcern?
4) Does the Source Water Assessment for East Moore Water District indicate there are any potential PF[ sources
that may be of concern?
5) |sany ofthe water from Fire Station #1resold tuMoore County Seven Lakes orEast Moore Water District? |f
soare there alternative sources for these facilities?

brief conference call with you to discuss PFC's/PFOA and get an idea of your agencies thoughts
concerning public water supply implications for North Carolina. Jessica and | have some time this
Thursday between 10 -12:30, and this Friday between 10-11:30 if either of those days will work. If not
let usknow some time for next week with the exception ofApril lO1h Our calendars are fairly open the
