Re: Health Risk Evaluation of Water Supply Tracking ID: Inc. No. 23108 Dear Ms. Payne: Please find attached the Sample Analytical Results for the water samples collected from your well, identified as WS-6 (Before) and WS-6 (after), located at 120 Alexis-Lucia Road, Alexis, Gaston County, on May 5, 2023. The samples were collected and analyzed as part of the investigation of a petroleum release in the vicinity. The water samples were analyzed for specific target analytes (contaminants), which are listed on the attached Sample Analytical Results. Contaminants were detected
in the water samples, as shown on the attached Sample Analytical Results. Because contaminants were detected in the water sample, a Health Risk Evaluation of each water
supply sample 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 contact me at [phone]. Sincerely, Brad C. Newton, P.G. Hydrogeologist

Incident # 23108
Payne Well Sampling Results (before) 120 Alexis-Lucia Road Alexis, NC
During this sampling event, two 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)
YE08015-003 Methyl tertiary butyl ether 2.0 20
Methylene chloride 0.50 5
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.

120 Alexis-Lucia Road Alexis, 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

YE08015-004 Methyl tertiary butyl ether 2.1 20
µg/L – Stands for micrograms of contaminant per liter of water and is roughly equivalent to parts per
billion. 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.
