Mr. Petermann:
WithersRavenel, Inc. (WR) has completed this Letter Report to document the sampling of supply
well WSW‐1 described in our proposal number TA‐01 for the above referenced site approved by
the Federal & State Lead Program on October 18, 2023 under NCDEQ Contract #N70522‐C.
WithersRavenel mobilized to the subject site on October 19, 2023 for the purposes of evaluating
the on‐site supply well in preparation for potential abandonment.
Supply Well Evaluation – WSW‐1
WR Personnel identified supply well WSW‐1 on the property and found the well to be out of
use. The well casing was covered by an inverted 5‐gallon bucket. The well is surrounded by an
approximate 2‐ft high concrete wall (formerly a well house) with no roof attached. A 36‐in
diameter concrete collar was found to lie next to the well itself within the former well house.
The well pump, associated plumbing and electrical connection(s) were found to have been
removed from the well.
In addition to WSW‐1, an additional (4‐inch diameter) well was found to lie next to WSW‐1.
This additional well appears to have been abandoned, as bentonite was present near the top of
casing. The well piping and electrical connection were present and surrounded by bentonite,
though these connections had been severed.
