Incident # 30671 Paul Well Sampling Results 983 NC Highway 87 N Burlington, NC
During this sampling event, three contaminants were 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 any contaminant concentrations exceed applicable standards for using the water for drinking and cooking, those contaminant concentrations are 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 concentrations with the applicable
standards:
Sample ID Contaminant Concentration (µg/L) MCL (µg/L) 2L (µg/L)
LA89956-1 Di-Isopropyl Ether 0.55 70
Methyl Tert Butyl Ether 0.78 20
Toluene 0.75 1,000
µg/L – Stands for micrograms of contaminant per liter of water and is roughly equivalent to parts per
billion. RECOMMENDATION: None of the contaminants detected exceeded the applicable water standards. Therefore, no restrictions on the use of this water are recommended at this time.
