INTRODUCTION The purpose of a five-year review (FYR) is to evaluate the implementation and performance of a remedy to determine if the remedy is and will continue to be protective of human health and the environment. The methods, findings and conclusions of reviews are documented in FYR reports such as this one. In addition, FYR reports identify issues found during the review, if any, and document recommendations to address them. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is preparing this FYR pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Section 121, consistent with the National Contingency Plan (NCP) (40 Code of Federal Regulations Section 300.430(f)(4)(ii)) and considering EPA policy. In the mid 1990's, the Flanders Filters Site (Site) was considered as a Superfund caliber site which is now referred to as a Superfund Alternative Approach site. The Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study efforts were conducted under a February 1996 Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) and the 1998 Record of Decision was implemented under a July 1999 Unilateral Administrative Order (UAO). This is the fourth FYR for the Flanders Filters Site. The triggering action for this review is the previous FYR report dated September 26, 2016. The Flanders Filters Site (Site) FYR is a policy review. A policy review is conducted when “upon completion of the remedial action, no hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants will remain on Site above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure but requires more than five years to complete.” The Site consists of one operable unit (OU), which addresses groundwater and surface water contamination. The EPA remedial project manager (RPM) Lofton Carr led the FYR. Participants included EPA Community Involvement Coordinator Zariah Lewis, North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) FYR preparer Stephanie Grubbs. Appendix A provides a list of the Documents used to prepare this FYR Report. Appendix B provides a brief site chronology. Appendix C includes Site status information. Site Background The Flanders Filters Site is located south of U.S. Highway 264 on Flanders Filters Road (Secondary Road 1427) in Washington, North Carolina, Appendix D, Figure D-1. The Site is bordered to the north by an agricultural field; to the east by Mitchell Branch, which drains to the south into Tranters Creek; to the south and southwest by the Shad Bend residential community, beyond which is Tranters Creek, and to the west by Flanders Filter Road, across which are grass fields and residential property. Since 1969, Flanders has used the 65‐acre property for the manufacture of high‐efficiency, borosilicate glass micro‐filters and air‐filter framing systems. The filter media were originally manufactured by a wet‐laid process that included mixing a glass‐fiber slurry with a low‐pH solution, fire retardant, finishing agent, and water‐repellent additives. In addition, Flanders manufactured metal frames for some applications using degreasers and an acid dip-vat for this process. The metal degreasing process ceased in 1993. The former acid‐pickling area, originally located near the northeastern corner of the building, was also removed in 1993. The facility had an on‐site wastewater treatment system. Treated wastewater was disposed of on two spray irrigation fields located on the east side of the property. The manufacturing area is enclosed by a security fence; however, the two spray‐irrigated fields are not enclosed by a fence. A Site Layout Map can be found in Appendix D, Figure D-2. 2 FIVE-YEAR REVIEW SUMMARY FORM II. RESPONSE ACTION SUMMARY Basis for Taking Action Between 1969 and 1988, Flanders operated a permitted, wastewater system to treat the process water generated during manufacturing. The treatment system consisted of a spray-irrigation field, retention ponds, by-pass ponds, and equalization tanks. Wastewater was sprayed on Field No. 1 starting in 1978. The use of Field No. 1 was discontinued, and from 1984 to 1994 wastewater was sprayed on Field No. 2. As part of their permit, Flanders was required to install and sample groundwater monitoring wells. Various Site Screening Investigations were conducted by EPA contractors between 1989 and 1990. A variety of chlorinated hydrocarbons were detected in the groundwater and surface water samples. In 1993, at the request of the EPA, a Review Boundary Report was prepared at the Site. The laboratory detected 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE) at concentrations that exceeded the NC 2L Standards. As stated in the 1998 Record of Decision (ROD), exposure pathways at the Site via contaminated soils, sediments, surface water, and groundwater through ingestion, dermal contact, and inhalation were determined to be low. Based on the risk assessment that was performed in conjunction with the 1997 Remedial Investigation (RI) and the 1998 ROD, soils do not pose a threat to human health or the SITE IDENTIFICATION Site Name: Flanders Filters EPA ID: Region:State: City/County: SITE STATUS NPL Status: Multiple OUs?Has the Site achieved construction completion? REVIEW STATUS Lead agency: Author name: Author affiliation: Review period: Date of site inspection: Type of review: Review number: Triggering action date: Due date (five years after triggering action date): 3 environment. The principal risk pertains to the potential future use of the adversely impacted groundwater beneath the Site. Sitewide Contaminants of Concern (COCs): Groundwater: chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1-Dichloroethane (1,1-DCA)*, 1,1-DCE, trichloroethene (TCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE), vinyl chloride, aluminum, antimony, arsenic, iron, and manganese. *1,1-DCA was not specified as a COC in the ROD; data on this compound is collected during sampling. Surface water: 1,1-DCE Response Actions No CERCLA removal actions have occurred at the Site. The use of spray fields was discontinued in 1994. Metal-degreasing and acid-pickling processes reportedly ceased in 1993. Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) used to store waste oil, diesel, gasoline, and kerosene were closed and removed in March 1999. Water-supply wells located on the property were abandoned in March 1999. 1998 Record of Decision The ROD for the Flanders Site was signed on September 18, 1998. The primary objective was to reduce the concentration and mass of the contaminants in the shallow groundwater aquifer to the levels of the performance standards in the ROD (Table 1). The remedial action objectives as stated the ROD: • Reduce contaminant levels to the specified performance standard, • Limit the exposure to receptors to impacted groundwater, and • Monitor contaminant levels in groundwater and surface water to unsure the remedial action is protective of human health and the environment. The six main components of the selected remedy as defined in the 1998 ROD were: • Monitored Natural Attenuation - The quality of the groundwater and surface water/sediment will be monitored on a periodic basis. Monitoring of the wetlands between the Site and Mitchell Branch shall also be including in this monitoring plan. • Sample Private Wells - Sample all private wells in the adjacent subdivision to ensure that these wells have not been adversely impacted by activities at the Flanders Site and incorporate these wells into the long-term monitoring plan. • Institutional Controls - Institutional controls shall include "land use restrictions" and "deed recordation" under appropriate North Carolina regulations. • Abandonment of Inactive Supply Wells - Four inactive water-supply wells will be abandoned to prevent the migration of contaminants into the lower aquifer. These wells will be abandoned in accordance with North Carolina regulations. • Remove ASTs from Area of Concern (AOC) No. 5 - The tanks in this area of the Flanders Site will be emptied, cleaned, and disposed of in accordance with the appropriate regulations. Underlying soils will be inspected and sampled if warranted. In the event that natural degradation failed to result in a significant reduction in concentrations of contaminants in the groundwater within three years of the signing of the 1998 ROD, the contingency in the ROD was to be implemented. The contingency remedy involved the installation of an air-sparging/soil-vapor extraction system, implementation of institutional controls, abandonment of the inactive public water-supply wells, and removal of ASTs in AOC No. 5. 4 2008 Explanation of Significant Difference In November 2008, an Explanation of Significant Difference (ESD) was signed to remove the contingency remedy from the 1998 ROD. This decision was based on historical VOC data that shows a decreasing trend to near below performance standards and North Carolina groundwater quality standards in Title 15A Subchapter 2L Section .0202 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) (NC 2L).

Actions included: • MNA (Groundwater and surface water/sediment sampling)-The initial monitoring event for the implementation of MNA was conducted in April 2000 and subsequent monitoring events at the Site were conducted on a semi‐annual basis through July 2010. Current sampling activities for groundwater and surface water occur on a biennial basis. • Implementation of ICs- Land Use Restrictions were implemented on the property in 2004. • Removal of AST from AOC No. 5- Five ASTs were originally located within an earthen dike located east of the main plant building and identified as Area No. 5 in the RA/RD. The tanks included a 10,000- gallon of solvent based cleaner, a 2,000-gallon waste oil, a 4,000-gallon gasoline, a 550-gallon diesel, and a 275-gallon kerosene tank. Flanders had the ASTs removed in March 1999. Institutional Control (IC) Review ICs are defined as non-engineered instruments, such as administrative and legal controls, that help minimize the potential for human exposure to contamination and/or protect the integrity of the remedy. Land use restrictions (LURs), ICs restricting the use of the property, were placed on the property deed on January 28, 2004. The ICs currently in place include prohibitions on the use of groundwater, disturbance of contaminated soil, and use of the property will be restricted to decrease the likelihood of human exposure to contaminated soil or groundwater. As well as the ICs implemented on the property in 2004, governmental controls based on state regulations, such as 15A NCAC 02C .0101 (NC Well Construction Act) prohibit installing drinking water wells into contaminated aquifers. These regulations pertain to the permitting and installation of water supply wells and the role of the local health departments as the permitting authority. A copy of the NC Well Construction Act is included in Appendix H. Table 2 is a summary of the ICs called for in the decision documents, impacted parcels and IC objectives. Appendix D, Figure D-3 is a Site Parcel Identification Map.

III. PROGRESS SINCE THE PREVIOUS REVIEW This section includes the protectiveness determinations and statements from the previous FYR Report as well as any recommendations from the previous FYR Report and the status of those recommendations. Table 3: Protectiveness Determinations/Statement from the 2016 FYR OU # Protectiveness Statement Sitewide Short-term Protective environment. There are no exposure pathways to the contaminated groundwater and the groundwater plume is naturally attenuating and is not migrating. The EPA and the NCDEQ believe that active management of the Site will be protective of human health and the environment. The biennial groundwater monitoring at the Site indicates that attenuation is As stated in the 2016 FYR, “There are no issues or recommendations. Routine biennial sampling is occurring at the Site, there are no exposure pathways to contaminated soil or groundwater and the groundwater plume is naturally attenuating.” IV. FIVE-YEAR REVIEW PROCESS Community Notification, Community Involvement and Site Interviews A public notice was made available by a published notice in The Washington Daily News newspaper on 2/24/2021 (Appendix E). It stated that the FYR was underway and invited the public to submit any comments to the EPA. The results of the review and the report will be made available at the Site’s information repository, Brown Public Library, located at 122 Van Norden Street in Washington, North Carolina 27889 and, on the EPA website https://www.epa.gov/superfund/search-superfund-five-year-reviews [epa.gov]. During the FYR process, one interview was conducted to document any perceived problems or successes with the remedy that has been implemented to date. The interviews are summarized below and included in Appendix E. The EPA conducted a community interview via phone with the Beauford County City Manager. He stated that there were no concerns or complaints voiced from local citizens regarding the site and his overall impression of the project which focused on groundwater and surface water, consists of MNA, long-term groundwater/surface water monitoring, including the cleanup, and institutional controls. Data Review In November 2020, the biennial groundwater and surface water monitoring at the Site was conducted. During this monitoring period, TRC collected groundwater samples from monitoring wells MW‐8, MW 13, and MW‐14, and surface water samples from SW‐UPG, SW‐9, and SW‐11. 7 Groundwater The groundwater analytical results indicated detections of 1,1‐DCA, 1,1‐DCE, cis‐1,2‐dichloroethene, and TCE above the laboratory quantitation limit for sample MW‐13 and the duplicate sample for that well. Only the concentration of 1,1‐DCA (17 μg/L) exceeded the NC 2L standard of 6 μg/L. The 1,1‐DCA concentration has decreased from 33 μg/L in October 2018 to 17 μg/L in November 2020. A styrene concentration of 1.8 μg/L was detected at MW‐8 which is well below the NC 2L standard of 70 μg/L. No additional constituents were detected above quantitation limits at MW‐8. No targeted constituents above the quantitation limit were detected in the sample collected from MW‐14. Analytical Results Map from November 2020 can be found in Appendix D, Figure D-4. Surface Water The laboratory detected dissolved and total iron in all of the surface water samples, as is common with a naturally occurring and ubiquitous element. The surface water analytical results indicated detections of total iron between 1,900 μg/L to 3,200 μg/L and dissolved iron concentration that range between 1,200 μg/L to 1,600 μg/L. Total iron concentrations for the downstream locations (SW‐9 at 1,900 μg/L and SW‐11 at 3,200 μg/L) were similar to the results for the upstream location (SW‐UPG at 2,400 μg/L). Similarly, the dissolved iron concentrations at the downstream locations (SW‐9 at 1,200 μg/L and SW‐ 11 at 1,500 μg/L) were similar to the results for the upstream location (SW‐UPG at 1,600 μg/L). The iron results are generally consistent with prior findings. Appendix G contains the 2020 Biennial Monitoring Report. This report includes all current and historical groundwater analytical results. The next monitoring event is scheduled for Fall 2022. Site Inspection Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, no site inspection was completed at the Site for the FYR. V. TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT QUESTION A: Is the remedy functioning as intended by the decision documents? Yes. The remedial action, as stated in the 1998 ROD and 2008 ESD, is functioning as designed. Concentrations of VOCs in groundwater have been decreasing steadily over time. Currently, no human exposure pathways exist to contaminated groundwater. Groundwater is not currently being used as a potable water source. The use of the property is restricted so as to decrease the likelihood of human exposure to any unknown contaminated soil or to the contaminated groundwater. ICs, in the form of LURs, are in place for the Flanders Filters, Inc. property and these prohibit the use of groundwater and the disturbance of any unknown contaminated soil. Governmental controls based on state regulations, such as 15A NCAC 02C .0101 (NC Well Construction Act) similarly prohibit installing drinking water wells into contaminated aquifers. These regulations pertain to the permitting and installation of water supply wells and the role of the local health departments as the permitting authority. 8 QUESTION B: Are the exposure assumptions, toxicity data, cleanup levels and RAOs used at the time of the remedy selection still valid? The exposure assumptions, toxicity data, clean-up levels, and RAOs used at the time of the remedy are still valid for all of the COCs except arsenic at 50 µg/l (Table 1). The groundwater remediation goal for arsenic exceeds a cancer risk of 1 x 10-4 for carcinogens or a noncancer HQ of greater than 1. Although, as stated in the 2006 FYR, none of the groundwater samples collected in April 2006 exhibited arsenic at concentrations that exceeded the new MCL. A thorough review was made of arsenic-related groundwater data to evaluate the long-term protectiveness of the selected remedy. After review of the historical data, arsenic was determined not to pose a threat to current or future protectiveness as all detected concentrations of arsenic were below the current arsenic MCL of 10 µg/l. None of the remaining cleanup goals resulted in a cancer risk greater than 1 x 10-4 for carcinogens or a noncancer HQ of greater than 1. Appendix F contains the ARAR Review. Vapor Intrusion Indoor air concentrations were calculated from groundwater remediation levels for the six volatile COCs. Table 4 indicates that none of the cleanup goals resulted in a cancer risk greater than 1x10-4 for carcinogens or a noncancer HQ of greater than 1, and therefore remain protective of human health. It should be noted that his screening-level evaluation did not consider the potential total risk associated with multiple groundwater contaminants at a particular shallow well location.

No additional information has come to light since the previous FYR that calls into question the protectiveness of the remedy. 9 VI. ISSUES/RECOMMENDATIONS Issues/Recommendations OU(s) without Issues/Recommendations Identified in the FYR: Other findings: • While 1,1-DCA is not a ROD designated COC, continued analytical monitoring for this compound is recommended. VII. PROTECTIVENESS STATEMENT Protectiveness Statement Sitewide Protectiveness Statement Protectiveness Determination: environment as no human exposure pathways exist to contaminated groundwater. The groundwater plume is naturally attenuating and is not migrating. Institutional controls, in the form of LURs, are in place for the Flanders Filters, Inc. property, which prohibits the use of groundwater.

The National Contingency Plan requires remedial actions that result in any hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants remaining at the Superfund Sites above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure be reviewed every five years to ensure the protection of human health and the environment. Community interviews were conducted via phone with the City Manager, Jonathan Russell, from the city of Beaufort County. He stated that there were no concerns or complaints voiced from local citizens regarding the site and his overall impression of the project which focused on groundwater and surface water, consists of monitored natural attenuation (MNA), long-term groundwater/surface water monitoring, including the cleanup, and institutional controls. The local community was notified that EPA was conducting the fourth FYR through a public notice in Washington Daily News. The FYR will be completed by April 2021 and a final report will be available online at: https://www.epa.gov/superfund/search-superfund-five-year-reviews. Additional information is available at the Site's local information repository, Brown Public Library, located at 122 Van Norden Street in Washington, North Carolina 27889 (consider contacting the library to confirm it is open) and online at https://www.epa.gov/superfund/flanders-filters. F-1 Appendix F ARAR Review Flanders Filters Section 121 (d)(2)(A) of CERCLA specifies that Superfund remedial actions must meet any federal standards, requirements, criteria, or limitations that are determined to be legally ARARs. Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements are those standards, criteria, or limitations promulgated under federal or state law that specifically address a hazardous substance, pollutant, contaminant, action, location, or other circumstance at a CERCLA site. To- Be-Considered criteria (TBCs) are non-promulgated advisories and guidance that are not legally binding but should be considered in determining the necessary level of cleanup for protection of human health or the environment. While TBCs do not have the status of ARARs, EPA’s approach to determining if a remedial action is protective of human health and the environment involves consideration of TBCs along with ARARs. Chemical-specific ARARs are specific numerical quantity restrictions on individually listed contaminants in specific media. Examples of chemical-specific ARARs include the MCLs specified under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) as well as the ambient water quality criteria that are enumerated under the Clean Water Act. Because there are usually numerous contaminants of potential concern for any site, various numerical quantity requirements can be ARARs. In performing the Five-Year Review for compliance with ARARs, only those ARARs that address the protectiveness of the remedy are reviewed. Because the remedy at the Site currently addresses only groundwater contamination, this Five-Year Review will discuss compliance with chemical-specific groundwater ARARs only. CURRENT POTENTIALLY-APPLICABLE ARARS It is the EPA’s policy that ARARs are generally “frozen” at the time of the ROD signature unless a “new or modified requirement calls into question the protectiveness of the selected remedy”, 55 Fed. Reg. 8757 (March 8, 1990). The NC Classifications and Water Quality Standards Applicable to the Groundwater of North Carolina, NCAC Title 15A Subchapter 2L, (NC 2L) on which several of the remedial goals are based were last amended on April 2013. Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2L (NCAC 2L) is a Chemical-Specific State ARAR for this Site. GROUNDWATER The current groundwater remediation goals are valid for all of the COCs except for arsenic at 50 µg/l. The groundwater remediation goal for arsenic exceeds a cancer risk of 1 x 10-4 for carcinogens or a noncancer HQ of greater than 1. As stated in the 2006 FYR, none of the groundwater samples collected in April 2006 exhibited arsenic at concentrations that exceeded the new MCL. A thorough review was made of arsenic-related groundwater data to assess the long-term protectiveness of the selected remedy. After review of the historical data, arsenic was determined not to pose a threat to current or future protectiveness as all detected concentrations of arsenic were below the current arsenic MCL of 10 µg/l. None of the remaining cleanup goals resulted in a cancer risk greater than 1 x 10-4 for carcinogens or a noncancer HQ of greater than 1.

(Flanders) operates a facility located at 531 Flanders Filter Road, Washington, North Carolina (Site) (Figure 1). Flanders has used the 65‐acre property since 1969 for the manufacture of high‐efficiency, borosilicate glass micro‐filters and air‐filter framing systems. The Site is bordered to the north by an agricultural field; to the east by Mitchell Branch, which drains to the south into Tranters Creek; to the south and southwest by the Shad Bend residential community, beyond which is Tranters Creek, and to the west by Flanders Filter Road, across which are grass fields and residential property. 1.1 Site Background The land use of the Site since 1969 has involved the manufacturing of glass‐fiber filters and metal frames. The filter media were originally manufactured by a wet‐laid process that included mixing a glass‐fiber slurry with a low‐pH solution, fire retardant, finishing agent, and water‐repellent additives. In addition, Flanders manufactured metal frames for some applications. They used degreasers and a dip vat of acid for this process. The metal degreasing process ceased in 1993. The former acid‐pickling area, originally located near the northeastern corner of the building, was also removed in 1993. The facility had an on‐site wastewater treatment system and treated wastewater was disposed of in two spray irrigation fields located on the east side of the property. The manufacturing area is enclosed by a security fence; however, the two fields Flanders had spray‐irrigated are not enclosed by a fence. No Superfund removal actions have taken place at the Site. The use of Spray Field No. 1 was discontinued in 1984 and the use of Spray Field No. 2 was discontinued in 1994. Metal degreasing and acid‐pickling processes ceased in 1993. Aboveground storage tanks that were used to store waste oil, diesel, gasoline, and kerosene were removed in March 1999. A Site Layout Map is included as Figure 2. The intended use of the Site is not expected to change from industrial manufacturing in the near future. Commercial development is possible north and northwest of the Site. 1.2 Modifications to Remedial Design/Remedial Action Tasks The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) have determined that a release of hazardous substances at the Site requires remedial action. A volatile organic compound (VOC) and inorganic compound groundwater plume was identified in the area of former spray fields. Based upon Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) activities completed by Flanders, the USEPA and NC DEQ selected monitored natural attenuation (MNA) as the best suited remedial alternative. TRC Environmental Corporation | Flanders Filters, Inc. Biennial Monitoring Report – Washington, North Carolina 2 \\GREENVILLE‐FP1\WPGVL\PJT2\413632\0000\R4136320000‐001 2020 BIENNIAL MONITORING.DOCX December 2020 The Record of Decision (ROD) for the Site was signed into effect on September 18, 1998. The primary objective identified in the Remedial Design/Remedial Action (RD/RA) Work Plan, dated June 26, 2000, was to reduce the concentrations and mass of the contaminants in the surficial aquifer to the levels of the performance standards in the ROD. To achieve these performance standards, MNA was chosen as the RD/RA set forth in the ROD. The initial monitoring event for the implementation of MNA was conducted by Duncklee & Dunham, P.C. (Duncklee & Dunham) in April 2000. Duncklee & Dunham summarized these results in the Semi‐ annual Monitoring Report dated June 26, 2000, and conducted subsequent monitoring events at the Site on a semi‐annual basis through July 2010. Based on the results of the April 2000 monitoring event, and in accordance with the approved RD/RA Work Plan, Duncklee & Dunham included in the June 2000, Semi‐annual Monitoring Report, a request to the USEPA and the NC DEQ for removal of sampling points and analytical parameters for future monitoring events. These requests were approved by the USEPA and the NC DEQ in correspondence dated August 22, 2000. Based on the results of further groundwater testing, and in accordance with the approved RD/RA Work Plan, Duncklee & Dunham included several additional requests for removal of sampling points and/or analytical parameters for future monitoring events in the Semi‐annual Monitoring Report dated April 18, 2001. These requests were also approved by the USEPA and NC DEQ in correspondence dated May 21, 2001. On September 29, 2006, the Acting Director of the Waste Division for USEPA Region 4 approved the First Five Year Review. On September 19, 2011, after the completion of three additional monitoring events since the First Five Year Review, the USEPA completed a Second Five Year Review of the clean‐up remedy. The USEPA determined in the Second Five Year Review that the remedy currently protects human health and the environment because contaminant concentrations are decreasing, institutional controls are in place, and neighboring properties obtain their drinking water from the municipal supply. The review also stated that it should be determined if the elevated concentrations of iron detected in samples from monitoring wells onsite are naturally occurring or are the result of past site activities, and to include analysis for total and dissolved iron in the next monitoring event and evaluate the results. Duncklee & Lee conducted two additional monitoring events since the Second Five Year Review. These events were documented in the August 8, 2013, Report of Biennial Monitoring and the August 28, 2015, Report of Biennial Monitoring. Both reports were accepted by the USEPA and the NC DEQ as documented in letters dated October 23, 2013 and January 7, 2016, respectively. Additionally, TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) conducted a biennial monitoring event at the Site in October 2018. TRC Environmental Corporation | Flanders Filters, Inc. Biennial Monitoring Report – Washington, North Carolina 3 \\GREENVILLE‐FP1\WPGVL\PJT2\413632\0000\R4136320000‐001 2020 BIENNIAL MONITORING.DOCX December 2020 Section 2 Site Monitoring Activities On November 18, 2020, TRC conducted a biennial monitoring event at the Site. Groundwater and surface water samples were collected according to the RD/RA Work Plan. Monitoring well and surface water locations are shown on Figure 2. During this monitoring period, TRC collected groundwater samples from monitoring wells MW‐8, MW‐13, and MW‐14, and surface water samples from SW‐UPG, SW‐9, and SW‐11. A duplicate groundwater sample was collected from monitoring well MW‐13 and a duplicate surface water sample was collected from surface water location SW‐11 for quality assurance. Field procedures were conducted in accordance with the Field Sampling Plan (FSP, Aquaterra, 1996). These procedures include a sample collection and handling plan, decontamination procedures, quality assurance/quality control, and documentation requirements. 2.1 Hydrologic Conditions Prior to groundwater sampling activities, TRC personnel conducted a site‐wide collection of water level measurements from existing groundwater monitoring wells. The monitoring wells were opened and allowed to equilibrate with atmospheric conditions prior to measuring water levels. The depth to the water table was measured from a surveyed point on the top of each well casing with a water‐level meter and used to calculate the groundwater elevations. Monitoring well information and groundwater elevations are listed on Table 1. The groundwater elevation data was used to construct a potentiometric surface map of the surficial aquifer at the Site which is included as Figure 3. The general direction of groundwater flow at the Site is to the southeast towards Mitchell Branch. This is consistent with previous monitoring events. 2.2 Groundwater and Surface Water Sampling TRC collected groundwater samples from MW‐13 and MW‐14 using low‐flow sampling techniques with a peristaltic pump and new, disposable polyethylene tubing to purge and withdraw each of the samples. During the sampling process, field geochemical parameters including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, and oxidation‐reduction potential were monitored using a Horiba U‐52 multi‐meter fitted with a flow‐through cell. Due to insufficient water available in MW‐8 for low‐flow sampling, a grab sample was collected using a disposable polyethylene bailer. Water purged from the wells during the sampling process was contained in 5‐gallon buckets and transferred to the facility’s wastewater treatment system for disposal.

Due to a recent rainfall event, the banks of Mitchell Branch were flooded and to get a representative sample, TRC waded out into the center of Mitchell Branch to collect the surface water samples. Surface water sample SW‐9 was collected downgradient of monitoring well MW‐8, surface water sample SW‐11 was collected downgradient of MW‐10, and surface water sample SW‐UPG was collected upgradient of SW‐9 and SW‐11. The surface water was decanted from the scoop into laboratory‐provided sample containers to minimize turbidity. Additionally, field geochemical parameters including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, and oxidation‐reduction potential were collected at each surface water sampling location using a Horiba U‐52 multi‐meter. Surface water sample locations are depicted on Figure 2. Sample containers were labeled and placed on ice in a laboratory‐provided cooler, a chain‐of‐custody form was completed, and the cooler was transported to the courier for Pace Analytical Services, LLC (Pace) under chain of custody. Samples were analyzed by Pace (NC DEQ Certification #329) at their West Columbia, South Carolina laboratory. Groundwater samples were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by USEPA Method 8260B and surface water samples were analyzed for total and dissolved iron by USEPA Method 6010D.

The Performance Standards were used for comparison of the laboratory results from this event (Tables 3 through 5). If a constituent is not listed in these standards, the North Carolina groundwater quality standards promulgated in Title 15A, Subchapter 2L, Section .0202 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (2L Standards) was used. The Performance Standards have been adjusted accordingly to the most recent value as the applicable 2L standards may change over time. Figure 4 summarizes the November 2020 analytical results. The laboratory analytical report is included as Appendix A. 3.1 Groundwater Results The groundwater analytical results indicated detections of 1,1‐dichloroethane (1,1‐DCA), 1,1‐ dichlorothene (1,1‐DCE), cis‐1,2‐dichloroethene, and trichloroethene (TCE) above the laboratory limit of quantitation (LOQ) for sample MW‐13 and the duplicate sample for that well. Only the concentration of 1,1‐DCA (17 µg/L) exceeded the 2L standard of 6 µg/L. A styrene concentration of 1.8 µg/L was detected at MW‐8 which is well below the 2L standard of 70 µg/L. No additional constituents were detected above the LOQ at MW‐8. Furthermore, the laboratory did not detect targeted constituents above the LOQ in the sample collected from MW‐14. 3.2 Surface Water Results The surface water analytical results indicated detections of total iron between 1,900 µg/L to 3,200 µg/L, and dissolved iron concentration that range between 1,200 µg/L to 1,600 µg/L. Total iron concentrations for the downstream locations (SW‐9 at 1,900 µg/L and SW‐11 at 3,200 µg/L) were similar to the results for the upstream location (SW‐UPG at 2,400 µg/L). Similarly, the dissolved iron concentrations at the downstream locations (SW‐9 at 1,200 µg/L and SW‐11 at 1,500 µg/L) were similar to the results for the upstream location (SW‐UPG at 1,600 µg/L).

The 1,1‐DCA concentration has decreased from 33 µg/L in October 2018 to 17 µg/L in November 2020.  The laboratory did not detect targeted constituents above the LOQ in the samples collected from MW‐8 and MW‐14 with the exception of styrene in MW‐8. The laboratory has not detected targeted constituents above performance standards in samples from MW‐8 since 2007 and no constituents have been detected from MW‐14 above laboratory reporting limits since 2010.  The laboratory detected dissolved and total iron in all of the surface water samples, as is common with a naturally occurring and ubiquitous element. The concentrations of total iron in surface water were similar in the upstream and downstream. The concentrations of dissolved iron were also similar in the upstream and downstream samples with a slight elevation of dissolved iron in the water upstream. The iron results are generally consistent with prior findings.  Water level data show the direction of groundwater flow in the surficial aquifer to be southeast towards Mitchell Branch.  TRC recommends requesting USEPA and NC DEQ to approve the elimination of testing of groundwater from monitoring wells MW‐8 and MW‐14.  TRC recommends continuing with monitored natural attenuation as the remedy, and testing groundwater samples from MW‐13 for VOCs during the next sampling event. TRC further recommends collecting surface water samples from the same three locations on Mitchell Branch and testing the samples for total iron and dissolved iron. The next monitoring event is scheduled for Fall 2022. TRC Environmental Corporation | Flanders Filters, Inc.
