Dear Mr. Brown:
As you are aware, the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste Management (DWM),
continues to work with the Warren County Working Group and their Science Advisors on issues
surrounding the PCB Landfill in Warren County. On Monday of this week, I faxed to you a
copy of the proposed schedule of activities to be taking place at the landfill during the next 6
weeks.
This letter is to advise you that we currently plan to add 12 additional monitoring wells to the
area around the landfill and put in 3 off site, background wells 1/2 to 2 miles away from the
landfill. I am enclosing a copy of a map depicting the additional well sites, except for the 3 off
site wells, as those site locations have not been completed as of today.
These well sites were picked by the Science Advisors and DWM personnel in order to provide
maximum sampling data on the ground water around the landfill as a part of a major sampling
event to take place (tentatively scheduled) the first week of March, 1997. I have also enclosed a
copy of a map showing the area within 1/2 mile radius of the landfill which depicts the current
monitoring wells and proposed sampling sites for stream and sediment samples.
The contractor doing the monitoring well installation was given and will follow the US EPA
Region IV "Environmental lnvesti~ations Standard Operatin~ Procedures and Quality
Assurance Manual (May 1996)". Work will be over sighted by the Science Advisors and
DWM personnel. Monitoring wells will be constructed in accordance with the Title 15A NC
Administrative Code Subchapter 2C-"Well Construction Standards".
