Re: Health Risk Evaluation of Water Supply Tracking ID: Incident Number: 18748 Dear Mr. Payne: Please find attached the Sample Analytical Results for water samples collected from your well, identified as WSW-9, located at 523 Oates Road, Gastonia, Gaston County, on October 6, 2022. The samples were collected and analyzed as part of the investigation of a petroleum release in the vicinity. The water samples collected were analyzed for specific target analytes (contaminants), which are listed 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 Mooresville Regional Office UST Section, Division of Waste Management, NCDEQ

Payne Well Sampling Results
523 Oates Road Gastonia, 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)
µg/L – Stands for micrograms of contaminant per liter of water and is roughly equivalent to parts per
billion.
* As total trihalomethanes. 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.
