Dear Mr. Ryals:
CES Group Engineers, LLP (CES), while under contract with the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Contract No.: N042023, executed on February 24, 2023, is
submitting this Well Abandonment Report to you electronically via email transmission.
The subject site is located at 643 8th Avenue, NE, in an urban, institutional, and commercial area
of Hickory, Catawba County, North Carolina, as depicted on Figure 1.
On September 30, 2023, five groundwater monitoring wells, MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-4, and
DW-1, as depicted on Figure 2, with well depths totaling 210-feet, were abandoned by Daniel
Summers of Carolina Soil Investigations, LLC, Olin, NC, a North Carolina Certified Well
Contractor (License Number 2579-A). Photographs of the abandoned monitoring wells are
attached in Appendix A.
The monitoring wells were generally abandoned by pouring tremie grout into the well casing to a
depth of approximately 6-inches below grade, then completing the abandonment with neat
cement to grade, including filling in the well vault, securing the well by placing the well cover back
on the well vault, and then bolting the well cover tight.
Copies of the well abandonment records are included in Appendix B.

The performed work was authorized by NCDEQ Task Authorization (TA) #02, approved on
October 3, 2023. Should you have any questions in regards to this submittal, please do not
hesitate to contact me at (704) 325-5408.
