Re: Health Risk Evaluation of Water Supply Tracking ID: Incident Number: 18748 Dear Mr. Brandon: Please find attached the Sample Analytical Results for water samples collected from your well, identified as WSW-4, located at 1053 Dallas-Bessemer City Highway, Gastonia, Gaston County, on January 10, 2023. The samples were collected and analyzed as part of the investigation of a petroleum release in the vicinity. The water samples collected were analyzed for specific target analytes (contaminants), which are listed on the attached Sample Analytical Results. Because contaminants were detected in the water sample collected by the responsible party’s representative, a
Health Risk Evaluation of the water supply was performed by an environmental toxicologist in the Division of Waste Management. The Health Risk Evaluation, which is attached also, compares the detected concentration of contaminants to acceptable concentrations and provides a recommendation for safe use of the water.
If you have any questions, please contact David Lilley at [phone] or me at the address or telephone number listed below.
Sincerely, Brad C. Newton, P.G. Hydrogeologist Mooresville Regional Office UST Section, Division of Waste Management, NCDEQ

RE: Health Risk Evaluation Incident # 18748
Brandon Well Sampling Results
1053 Dallas-Bessemer City Highway Gastonia, NC
During this sampling event, one contaminant was detected in the well water. The standards used
to determine if the water is suitable for drinking and cooking are the United States Environmental
Protection Agency’s Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) or, if no MCLs exist, North Carolina Groundwater Standards (2L).
If the contaminant concentration exceeds the applicable standard for using the water for drinking
and cooking, the contaminant concentration is further analyzed to determine if the water is suitable for
other household uses, such as showering, bathing, washing dishes, flushing toilets, and hand washing. The chart below compares the detected contaminant concentration with the applicable standard:
Sample ID Contaminant Concentration (µg/L) MCL (µg/L) 2L (µg/L)
97287 Ethanol 69.8 4,000*
µg/L – Stands for micrograms of contaminant per liter of water and is roughly equivalent to parts per billion.
* This value is an Interim Maximum Allowable Concentration (IMAC).
RECOMMENDATION: The detected contaminant did not exceed the applicable water standard. Therefore, no restrictions on the use of this water are recommended at this time.
