Dear Jennifer Orme-Zavaleta, PhD,
| hope this email finds you well. I am the Town Manager for the Town of Carolina Beach North Carolina and I would like
torequest your help with some sampling and tests. | was given your name bythe N[DEC-DWRregarding testing you
have been performing for the GenXissue inthe Wilmington Area. Previously the State indicated tousthat the Pee Dee
aquifer had not tested positive for the GenXcompound. However, recently Wrightsville Beach receive apositive test
result of 24 to 28 ppt of GenX at Well # 11 that draws water from the Pee Dee Aquifer. Carolina Beach isapproximately
8 miles from the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority's ASIR Well and the Wrightsville Well # 11 and we too draw water
from the Pee Dee aquifer. My council and their constituents are very concerned about the possibility of the Pee Dee
Aquifer having GenX and potentially effecting our wells. We would like to participate in the current study sampling run
through the EPA lab in Raleigh regarding this issue. We believe that our results could be used by the EPA asa control
site for this issue. We are formally requesting to be a part of this study or if that is not possible, we would like to pay the
EPA toperform tests ontwo samples from our wells. VVeintend onpaying two other firms toalso test these
samples. This way vvecan have confirmation from different lab ofthe results. Please let meknow ifyou are willing to
help uswith our efforts. | look forward tohearing from you.
Sincerely,
Michael
