Coble 3916 US Highway 311 Randleman, North Carolina 27317 Re: Health Risk Evaluation of Water Supply Tracking ID: Tank & Tummy #1, Incident #14716 Dear Ms. Coble: Please find attached the Sample Analytical Results for water samples collected from your well, identified as Spencer 2, located at 3870 US Highway 311, Randleman, Randolph County, on August 29, 2023. The water supply well at this property is treated by a Point-of-Entry treatment system (POE) to remove contaminants. Water samples were taken at two points on the system. 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 sample taken before and after treatment, as shown on the attached Sample Analytical Results. Because contaminants were detected in the water sample, a Health Risk Evaluation of the water supply 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 Dave Lilley at (919) 707-8241 or contact me at the address or telephone number listed below for the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Sincerely, Ryan A. Bond, P.G. Environmental Program Consultant Winston-Salem Regional Office UST Section, Division of Waste Management, NCDEQ Attachments: Health Risk Evaluation Spencer Sample Analytical Results cc: Randolph County Health Department, via email, wayne.jones@randolphcountync.gov Randolph County Manager, via email, countymanager@randolphcountync.gov October 13, 2023 TO: Ryan Bond Winston-Salem Regional Office NC UST Section RE: Health Risk Evaluation Incident # 14716 Spencer Well Sampling Results (Before) 3870 US Highway 311 Randleman, 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 contaminant concentrations exceed the applicable standards for using the water for drinking and cooking, the 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 standard: Contaminant Concentration (µg/L) MCL (µg/L) 2L (µg/L) Shaded boxes indicate a standard has been exceeded. µg/L – Stands for micrograms of contaminant per liter of water and is roughly equivalent to parts per billion. RECOMMENDATION: The di-isopropyl ether and methyl tert-butyl ether concentrations exceed the applicable standards and the level that would be considered safe for other household uses. Therefore, this water is not recommended for any residential use at this time. David Lilley, Environmental Toxicologist Division of Waste Management, NCDEQ October 13, 2023 TO: Ryan Bond Winston-Salem Regional Office NC UST Section RE: Health Risk Evaluation Incident # 14716 Spencer Well Sampling Results (After) 3870 US Highway 311 Randleman, 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 other household uses, such as showering, bathing, washing dishes, flushing toilets, and hand washing. The chart below compares the detected contaminant concentration with the applicable standard: Sample ID Contaminant Concentration (µg/L) MCL (µg/L) 2L (µg/L) 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.
