Dear Mr. Harris:
The UST Section received a Groundwater Monitoring Report on June 12, 2023, and the report was approved on June
30, 2023.
After reviewing the data, the UST Section sees the need to extend 3-5 additional borings (preferably direct push) up
to 35’ (if needed) below land surface to obtain soil sample data from a depth of 20’ and into the smear zone. The final
sample at depth should be at or near the TPH action limit. This data will be helpful in providing contaminant mass
thickness for injection consideration. In addition to the additional monitoring well proposed in the recommendations,
the UST Section also requests a downgradient monitoring well to be constructed far enough beyond PEMW-3 for
plume delineation purposes. Lastly, it is agreed that a comprehensive sampling event should be conducted, and all
data submitted in the Monitoring Report format. It is hoped once this information is available, then consideration can
be given to pilot tests using injections towards a Corrective Action Plan.
If you have questions regarding the information contained in this letter, please contact me at the Fayetteville Regional
Office address below or at [phone].
Sincerely,

Kenneth E. Currie
Hydrogeologist
