SUBJECT: Review of Groundwater Monitoring Report and Site Assessment Reports
Honeywell—Chlorinated Solvent Release Incident
400 Hickory Drive
Mars Hill, Madison County,N.C.
Incident#: 9712
Dear Ms. Maria Kaouris:
The Asheville Regional Office has received and reviewed a groundwater monitoring report and site
assessment and remediation reports for the subject site. According to the reports the contaminated soil and
sludge associated with the former electroplating wastewater treatment system have been removed from the site
and properly disposed of. The extent of groundwater contamination associated with the waste treatment
activities has been determined. However, soil and groundwater-sampling results(GP-1, GW-1, and MW-8)
indicated that there were other contamination sources present at the site. The additional contamination sources
and the extents of soil and groundwater contamination must be determined. In order to meet the soil
contamination delineation requirement, soil samples must be collected and analyzed from different potential
source locations and at different depths. Clustered wells (shallow well, top of bedrock well and bedrock well)
must be installed at the potential source areas and the down gradient locations, and groundwater samples be
collected and analyzed to delineate the groundwater plume. Please submit an initial site assessment report
including all the assessment activities and results to this office by June 30, 2003.
If you have any questions about this letter, please do not hesitate to call me at(828)251-6208 ext. 228.

Re.: Re.: NOTICE OF VIOLATION of the
NORTH CAROLINA WELL
CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
NCAC 15A 2C .0100 —Well Construction
Standards Criteria and Standards Applicable
to Water Supply and Certain Other Wells
Dear Mr. Seidel,
The Groundwater Section of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is responsible for the
regulation of water supply well construction activities within the State of North Carolina. On
February 18, 2003, the Regional Office of DWQ inspected a bored well located at a 612 St.
Mary's Church Road, Burke C t D
You were previously issued a Notice of Violation(NOV) on July 11, 2001 for violations
of the underground injection rules, specifically 15A NCAC 2C .0209(e)(2)(G). Following
inspection of the site and the cessation of discharge of graywater to the dry well, it was
determined that the subject well was to be abandoned in accordance with NCAC 2C.0113.
To-date, we have not received a well abandonment report for the subject well. On
February 18, 2003 staff of our office performed an inspection of the property. Based on that
inspection, it appears the well has yet to be abandoned.
VIOLATION 1:
Failure to properly permanently abandon a well in accordance with the specifications of rule
i5A NCAC ZC.0113 (b)(z)(A).

REQUIRED CORRECTIVE ACTION for Violation 1:
Please properly abandon the well, in accordance with the specifications in the referenced rule.
VIOLATION 2:
Failure to submit to the Division, within 30 days of completion, a record of well abandonment as
required by rule 15A NCAC 2C.114(b).
REQUIRED CORRECTIVE ACTION for Violation 2:
Please complete and submit the required form, to the Division.
Please take the corrective actions for the above violations as necessary to bring the said
well into compliance. Corrective actions must be taken and reported to the Asheville Regional
Office within 25 days from the date of this notice to avoid recommendation of civil penalties for
continuing violations.
Assessment of civil penalties may have already been recommended for violations
described within this Notice of Violation. Your prompt attention to the items described herein is
required. Failure to comply with the State's rules, in the manner and time specified, may result in
the assessment of additional civil penalties and/or the use of other enforcement mechanisms
available to the State. Each day that a violation continues may be considered a separate
violation. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 828-251-6208,

Subject: UIC Pre-Construction Inspection
Former Sayles-Biltmore Bleacheries
437 Swannanoa River Road, Asheville
Buncombe County
I have reviewed the subject UIC application and Landon and I have visited the site. The
information in the application package reflects the current conditions of the site and the
issuance of the permit is recommended. However, I think that the proposed amount of
HRC to be injected should be re-evaluated. The current estimation is based upon
incomplete and/or inaccurate data. For examples, the thickness of the impacted aquifer
used in the current estimation is 17 feet, but the real thickness is probably significantly
less than that(see appendix A , Fig G-1); the concentrations of DO, nitrate, sulfate, Fe
reduction demand, etc, in groundwater are significant factors in determining the amount
of HRC that is needed for the site, but these parameters are not determined (see appendix
B, page 2 and 3). If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (828)
251-6208 ext. 228.

RE: Variance Request to Rule 15A NCAC
2C.0107(a)(2)(M)
McDowell County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Rhodes:
On March 14,2003,the Asheville Regional Office received your request for a variance to Rule 15A NCAC
2C.0107(a)(2)(M). This Rule requires a 25 ft. separation distance between a well and a building foundation. The
variance request is for the construction of a water supply well at the residence of Polly White, on Mill Creek Road,
in Old Fort, McDowell County,North Carolina.
In your request, you indicate that the only suitable location for the well is 12 feet from the nearest building
foundation. Based upon the information that you have submitted to this office, a variance to the above-cited Rule is
granted. The variance will be effective for a period of six(6)months beginning from the date of issuance. Since the
well will not meet regulatory requirements,the following minimum additional construction requirements will be
necessary to mitigate any potential problems that could affect public health and/or the well's effective operation:
I. The casing shall extend the greater depth of 40 feet below land surface or 5 feet into consolidated
bedrock;
2. The entire length of the casing shall be grouted. A drill bit that is at least 1/3 greater than the outside
diameter of the casing shall be used to drill the cased portion of the well. The grout should be installed
using the pressure method. The installation of grout using a tremmie pipe is acceptable if the annular
space to be grouted is free of obstructions;
3. The well shall be located in the area identified on the map included with the variance request;
4. The well driller shall be certified by the North Carolina Well Contractor Certification Commission as
required by General Statutes 87-98.4, Title I5A NCAC 27.0101 and.0110;
5. Notification shall be given to H.E. Minnick or Landon Davidson at the letterhead address or by phone
at(828)251-6208, at least 24 hours prior to the start of well construction; and
6. Notification shall be given to H.E. Minnick or Landon Davidson at the letterhead address or by phone
at(828)251-6208, upon completion of the well.
It is my finding that the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a
variance as defined in 15A NCAC 2C.0I I S. A copy of this variance should be attached to the required Well
Construction Record(GW-1).

The granting of this variance is for the location of the well only and in no way relieves the owner or agent
from other requirements of the North Carolina Well Construction Standards,or any other applicable law, rule or
regulation that may be regulated by other agencies. If you are dissatisfied with this decision,you may commence a
contested case by filing a petition under G.S. 150-23 within sixty(60)days after receipt of the decision.

Dear Ms. Hall:
The Asheville Regional Office (ARO) has reviewed the third quarterly pre-CAP
monitoring report for the subject site. The results of the sampling indicate that the
concentrations of contaminants in the monitoring wells were within the historical range. The
next monitoring report, the last pre-CAP monitoring report, should be sent to this office by May
30, 2003. In this report, the site conditions should be evaluated based on all the available
information and recommendation of one or several remediation approaches should be provided.
We appreciate your effort and cooperation on this project. Please call me at (828) 251-

Dear Mr. LeGrand,
Enclosed are the items you have requested in regard to the Bent Creek groundwater
research station here in the Asheville region. The two pages of smaller maps show the location
of the well clusters which basically form a transect parallel to Boyd Branch. At each cluster,
three wells have been installed: a shallow well typically 25 ft deep, an intermediate well typically
45 — 55 ft deep and a deep well about 300 ft with the deepest to 500 ft.
For the most part, the deep wells have had limited yields ranging from 40 gpm (gallon
per minute) at MW-1D along the main watershed tributary to less than 1 gpm at MW-7D.
Interestingly enough, the static water level of MW-2D is 4 ft above the ground surface.
Intermediate or transition zone wells have had expectedly higher yields in the range of 5 20 gpm
with the exception of MW-5I. The water table ranges from about 7 ft bls (below land surface) at
MW-IS next to Bent Creek to 11.5 ft bls at MW-7S.
We will be collecting our first round of baseline sampling in late April or early May at
the Bent Creek research station. I'm also considering installing eight piezometers in the area of
MW-2 to study potential groundwater underflow near Boyd Branch's confluence with Bent
Creek.
The second research station has yet to be selected for the Asheville region. The USGS
has done some preliminary work in the area of Highlands, NC but we've yet to select it as a full-
blown groundwater research station for a number of reasons. Hopefully, I will be able to hire the
empty position and let that person make a selection for a new site.
Thanks for your interest and please give me a call if you have any questions or ideas
about the Bent Creek site or any other issue.

Dear Mr. Seidel,
The Groundwater Section of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is responsible for the
regulation of water supply well construction activities within the State of North Carolina. On
February 18, 2003,the Regional Office of DWQ inspected a bored well located at a 612 St.
Mary's Church Road, Burke Count.
You were previously issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) on July 11, 2001 for violations
of the underground injection rules, specifically 15A NCAC 2C .0209(e)(2)(G). Following
inspection of the site and the cessation of discharge of graywater to the dry well, it was
determined that the subject well was to be abandoned in accordance with NCAC 2C.0113.
To-date, we have not received a well abandonment report for the subject well. On
February 18, 2003 staff of our office performed an inspection of the property. Based on that
inspection, it appears the well has yet to be abandoned.
VIOLATION 1:
Failure to properly permanently abandon a well in accordance with the specifications of rule
i5A NCAC 2C.0t13 (b)(2)(A).

Dear Ms. Shaw:
Subject: Review of Corrective Action Plan
Norfolk Southern Railway—AST Release
Groundwater Incident No. 86094
Buncombe County
This office has reviewed the corrective action plan (CAP) regarding the subject site submitted by
Marshall Miller&Associates. The CAP proposed aggressive fluid vapor recovery system (AFVR) for
addressing the free product at the site and then allow natural attenuation to further degrade
contaminants.
Based on an evaluation of the data, this office concurs with the proposal to apply an AFVR
system once a month over a 6-month period. Recovery will be enhanced with the construction of three
four-inch diameter wells. The five existing Type II monitor wells and one existing Type III Monitoring well
shall be sampled prior to start up of the AFVR event and quarterly monitoring shall be initiated after the
last AFVR event. Groundwater analyses shall be performed by EPA Method 602 and EPA Method 625
plus the 10 largest non-target peaks identified.
A proposal for remediation of the contaminated soils shall be submitted to this office after the
completion of the AFVR events and four consecutive quarterly monitoring events. A natural attenuation
CAP will not be considered until the petroleum contaminated soils have been remediated.
A schedule of the proposed activities is due in this office by March 7, 2003. If you have any
comments or questions, please contact me at(828) 251-6208.

Dear Mr. Shull:
The Asheville Regional Office has reviewed the groundwater and soil sampling report for
the subject site. The report was prepared by Engineering and Environmental Services, PLLC on
your behalf. According to the report, no targeted contaminants were detected above the NC
groundwater standards. However, the soil sampling results show that the soil contamination is
still present. Therefore, the groundwater monitoring must be continued. The next monitoring
report should be submitted to this office by December 15, 2003. Site closure is possible if
groundwater remains clean and soil samples taken at known remaining "hot spots" show that the
concentrations of contaminants are below the relevant soil standards. We recommend that soil
samples be collected and analyzed again for the next report.
We appreciate your effort and cooperation on this project. If you have any questions,

RE: Variance Request to Rule 15A NCAC
2C.0107(a)(2)(M)
Yancey County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Ferguson:
On February 5,2003,the Asheville Regional Office received your request for a variance to Rule 15A
NCAC 2C.0107(a)(2)(M). This Rule requires a 25 ft. separation distance between a well and a building foundation.
The variance request is for the construction of a water supply well at the residence of Bruce Nason,on Sunset Drive,
in Burnsville, Yancey County,North Carolina.
In your request,you indicate that the only suitable location for the well is 15 feet from the nearest building
foundation. Based upon the information that you have submitted to this office, a variance to the above-cited Rule is
granted. The variance will be effective for a period of six(6)months beginning from the date of issuance. Since the
well will not meet regulatory requirements, the following minimum additional construction requirements will be
necessary to mitigate any potential problems that could affect public health and/or the well's effective operation:
1. The casing shall extend the greater depth of 40 feet below land surface or 5 feet into consolidated
bedrock;
2. The entire length of the casing shall be grouted. A drill bit that is at least I/3 greater than the outside
diameter of the casing shall be used to drill the cased portion of the well. The grout should be installed
using the pressure method. The installation of grout using a tremmie pipe is acceptable if the annular
space to be grouted is free of obstructions;
3. The well shall be located in the area identified on the map included with the variance request;
4. The well driller shall be certified by the North Carolina Well Contractor Certification Commission as
required by General Statutes 87-98.4,Title 15A NCAC 27.0101 and .0110;
5. Notification shall be given to H.E. Minnick or Landon Davidson at the letterhead address or by phone
at(828)251-6208,at least 24 hours prior to the start of well construction; and
6. Notification shall be given to H.E. Minnick or Landon Davidson at the letterhead address or by phone
at(828)251-6208, upon completion of the well.
It is my finding that the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a
variance as defined in 15A NCAC 2C.0118. A copy of this variance should be attached to the required Well
Construction Record(GW-1).

The granting of this variance is for the location of the well only and in no way relieves the owner or agent
from other requirements of the North Carolina Well Construction Standards, or any other applicable law,rule or
regulation that may be regulated by other agencies. If you are dissatisfied with this decision,you may commence a
contested case by filing a petition under G.S. 150-23 within sixty(60)days after receipt of the decision.

Natural Resources to protect and preserve the water and air resources of the state. The Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) has the delegated authority to enforce adopted pollution control rules
and regulations.
The recommendation concerns your failure to comply with the June 7, 2002 Notice of
Violation. The specific violations of General Statute 143-215.75 et seq., Oil Pollution and
Hazardous Substances Control Act, are as follows:
1. G.S. 143-215.83 (a) Unlawful Discharges:
It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge oil or other hazardous substances

Any person having control over oil or other hazardous substances discharged in
violation of this article shall immediately undertake to collect and remove the
discharge and to restore the area affected by the discharge as nearly as may be to
the condition existing prior to the discharge.
To correct the violations, you are required to do the following:
1. Remove and properly dispose of all contaminated soil exceeding the
applicable action level for oil and grease. A soil sample from the area of
highest contamination shall be analyzed in accordance with EPA Method
8021 or 8260, 9071, 8082 and 3030 for total metals (lead and chromium)
2. Submit a report to the Asheville Regional Office assessing the cause,
significance, extent of the release and actions taken to remove the
contamination including soil disposal activities; Due to the proximity of
contaminated soil to the stream and water table, groundwater assessment
including installation of monitoring wells will be required once the
structure and additional contaminated soil has been removed. Due to the
proximity of the Ghost Town water supply well to the release,you are to
sample the well and analyze the sample using EPA method 6210D, 625
(including 10 largest non-target peaks) and 3030C for total metals
including lead and chromium.
If you have an explanation for these violations that you wish to present, please respond in
writing to the Asheville Regional Office within 10 days after receipt of this Notice. Your
explanation will be reviewed and if an enforcement action is still deemed appropriate, your
explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement package for his
consideration. Please address your response to me at the letterhead address above.

RE: Variance Request to Rule 15A NCAC
2C.0107(a)(2)(M)
McDowell County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Hoyle:
On January 29,2003,the Asheville Regional Office received your request for a variance to Rule 15A
NCAC 2C.0 I 07(a)(2)(M). This Rule requires a 25 8.separation distance between a well and a building foundation.
The variance request is for the construction of a water supply well at Pisgah Yam&Dyeing Plant in Old Fort,
McDowell County,North Carolina.
In your request,you indicate that the only suitable location for the well is 5 feet from the nearest building
foundation. Based upon the information that you have submitted to this office,a variance to the above-cited Rule is
granted. The variance will be effective for a period of six(6)months beginning from the date of issuance. Since the
well will not meet regulatory requirements,the following minimum additional construction requirements will be
necessary to mitigate any potential problems that could affect public health and/or the well's effective operation:
I. The casing shall extend the greater depth of 40 feet below land surface or 5 feet into consolidated
bedrock;
2. The entire length of the casing shall be grouted. A drill bit that is at least 1/3 greater than the outside
diameter of the casing shall be used to drill the cased portion of the well. The grout should be installed
using the pressure method. The installation of grout using a tremmie pipe is acceptable if the annular
space to be grouted is free of obstructions;
3. The well shall be located in the area identified on the map included with the variance request;
4. The well driller shall be certified by the North Carolina Well Contractor Certification Commission as
required by General Statutes 87-98.4,Title 15A NCAC 27.0101 and .0110;
5. Notification shall be given to H.E. Minnick or Landon Davidson at the letterhead address or by phone
at(828)251-6208, at least 24 hours prior to the start of well construction; and
6. Notification shall be given to H.E. Minnick or Landon Davidson at the letterhead address or by phone
at(828)251-6208, upon completion of the well.
It is my finding that the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a
variance as defined in 15A NCAC 2C.0118. A copy of this variance should be attached to the required Well
Construction Record(G W-1).

from other requirements of the North Carolina Well Construction Standards,or any other applicable law,rule or
regulation that may be regulated by other agencies. If you are dissatisfied with this decision,you may commence a
contested case by filing a petition under G.S. 150-23 within sixty(60)days after receipt of the decision.

Dear Ms. Burlingame,
On November 4, 2002, the Division of Water Quality received the above-referenced
report for the subject site. Based upon our review of the report, the analytical results indicate
that site remediation efforts are required.
Although volatile organic compounds were not detected at 27 ft below land surface in
GP-6, contaminated soil above the applicable action limit remains present in the vicinity of GP-1
and GP-6. The remaining contaminated soil above the action limit must be remediated in
accordance with our guidelines. Please note that following any excavation activities,
confirmation samples are to be collected and analyzed using the appropriate EPA method found
in Table 1 or Table 2 of our guidelines (see attached). If soil is excavated, please be certain to
include all disposal manifests in your report.
According to the subject report, a water supply well is present at the site. Please
determine the status and use of this water supply well. If the well is used as a water source for
any activity such as human consumption or hand washing, you are to sample the well water. The
water sample should be analyzed using EPA method 625 including the 10 largest non-target
identifiable peaks. If the subject water supply well is no longer in use, it is to be permanently
abandoned in accordance with NCAC 2C.0113 and Well Abandonment Report submitted to this
office. Any well that may act as a channel or conduit for contamination shall be permanently
abandoned. Since groundwater contamination has been detected onsite, the possibility exists that
this water supply well could act as a contaminant migration pathway.

Re.: Re.: NOTICE OF VIOLATION of the
NORTH CAROLINA WELL
CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
NCAC 15A 2C .0100 —Well Construction
Standards Criteria and Standards Applicable
to Water Supply and Certain Other Wells
Dear Mr. Lasher,
The Groundwater Section of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is responsible for the
regulation of water supply well construction activities within the State of North Carolina. On
January 27, 2003, the Regional Office of DWQ inspected a well located at a 450 Woodsong
Drive, McDowell County residence owned by Ms. Judy Taylor. Ms. Taylor's well is currently
being constructed by Price Well Drilling, Inc. The inspection of the well site revealed that the
following violation exists:
VIOLATION 1:
Location of a well at a distance of less than 100 feet from a drainfield in contravention of rule
15A NCAC 2C.0107(a)(2)(A). An inspection of the subject property indicated that ample area
exists to comply with the 100 ft. separation requirement.
REQUIRED CORRECTIVE ACTION for Violation:
It is the responsibility of the well contractor to ensure, prior to beginning construction, that the
completed well will meet all of the well/pollution sources separation distance requirements in
15A NCAC 2C.0107(a). Where lot size, multiple pollution sources or other factors preclude
meeting the separation requirements, the department may consider granting approval for
different separation distances. Such approval must be obtained from the department, prior to
beginning construction, and would be based on a showing that additional construction methods
and/or materials would offset any health or environmental threat due to the decreased
well/pollution source separation distances.

Since the separation distance between the well and the drainfield is less than 100 feet, you must
properly abandon the well in accordance with NCAC 2C.0113 and submit a Well Abandonment
Report to the Asheville Regional office within 25 days of receiving this notice.
Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 87-91(a) you are hereby notified that Price
Well Drilling, Inc. is in violation of the Well Construction Standards indicated in Subchapter
2C, Title 15A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code. These Standards were adopted by the
Environmental Management Commission under authority granted by the North Carolina Well
Construction Act. This notice is given in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes 87-83
et seq.
Please take the corrective actions for the above violations as necessary to bring the said
well into compliance. Corrective actions must be taken and reported to the Asheville Regional
Office within 25 days from the date of this notice to avoid recommendation of civil penalties for
continuing violations.
Assessment of civil penalties may have already been recommended for violations
described within this Notice of Violation. Your prompt attention to the items described herein is
required. Failure to comply with the State's rules, in the manner and time specified, may result in
the assessment of additional civil penalties and/or the use of other enforcement mechanisms
available to the State. Each day that a violation continues may be considered a separate
violation.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS I
(1) The drainfield does not have unlimited capacity. Try to limit the volume of your wastewater and
repair any dripping faucets or toilets. Be sure that the water from the roof gutters, foundation drains,
and ground surface does not flow over the system.
(2) Do not add materials such as hygiene products, cigarette butts, coffee grinds, disposable diapers,
cooking oils or grease to the septic tank system and restrict the use of garbage disposals.
(3) Maintain a grass vegetative cover over the drainfield to prevent soil erosion.
(4) Avoid driveway construction or other over the system and repair area and keep autos and heavy
equipment off the system. Do not cover with fill dirt.
(5) Don't wait until your drainfield fails to have your tank pumped, by then the drainfield may be
ruined. Have solids pumped out of the tank as needed, usually every 3-5 years.

Re.: Results of January 8`h Sampling
Dear Mr. Pope,
On January 8, 2003, I sampled your well for the second time located at Chadwick
Wade Drive in Asheville. The additional sampling was to determine if volatile and semi-
volatile organic compounds remained in your water supply well as indicated by the first
sampling event. The laboratory analytical results are attached for your review and your
records.
Based upon a review of the attached laboratory results, it appears that the volatile and
semi-volatile organic compounds that were detected in the first water samples are no longer
present. This would indicate that flushing of your water system including the well was
stl sful in removing the contaminants. Based upon the initial detection of the volatile
organic compounds in the water following your recent pump work, I can only surmise at this
time that the probable source of the detected contaminants was from pipe glue used during
the repair of your pump.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions at 828.25t.6208,

Dear Mr. Dack:
Subject: Review of Semi-Annual Ground Water and Surface Water Monitoring Program Report
Balcrank Product, Inc.
Groundwater Incident No. 5050
Buncombe County
This letter is to acknowledge receipt and review of the subject report of the August 2002 semi-
annual sampling event. The results of the monitoring event indicate that the concentrations of
contaminants in the groundwater were within the historical range.
This office has considered the proposed modifications as stated in the subject report. A request
was made to reduce the sampling frequency from semi-annual to annual and to reduce the number of
monitor wells and surface water stations sampled. Mr. Larry Frost of the Water Quality Section reviewed
the proposal to reduce the number of sampling stations in Reems Creek and concurs with the
modification. It is acceptable to eliminate the 5 onsite sampling locations and 4 stream sampling
locations as proposed. The 5 on-site monitor wells eliminated in the routine sampling events shall be
maintained and available for sampling if site conditions warrant future sampling.
The proposal to reduce the sampling frequency to annual is denied, with the exception of the off-
site wells. Contaminant levels on-site continue to remain elevated, thus it is felt that semiannual
monitoring is necessary to monitor seasonal changes. It is strongly recommended that additional
remediation measures such as soil vapor extraction or dual phase extraction be implemented to
accelerate remediation. Contaminant concentrations in the overburden wells have remained relatively
stable during the 8 years of monitoring. Enhancing remediation in the overburden and shallow bedrock
would likely significantly reduce contaminant levels and accelerate site remediation.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at(828) 251-6208. Your continued
cooperation is appreciated.

Re.: Variance Request to Rule i5A NCAC zC
.ot07(a)(3)(C)
4714 Hwy• 74 E
Dear Mr. Martin:
On January 14, 2003, the Asheville Regional Office received your verbal/written
request for a variance to Rule 15A NCAC zC .0107(a)(3)(C). This rule requires a z5 ft.
separation distance between a well and a building foundation. The variance request is for the
construction of a water supply well at the residence of Ron Martin at 4714 Hwy. 74 E.
In your request, you indicate that the only suitable location for the well is 12 ft. from
the nearest building foundation. Based upon the information that you have submitted to
this office on January 14, 2003, a variance to the above cited rule is granted. The variance will
be effective for a period of six months beginning from the date of issuance. Since the well
will not meet the regulatory requirements, the following minimum additional construction
requirements will be necessary to mitigate any potential problems that could affect public
health and/or the well's effective operation:
1. The casing shall extend the greater depth of 40 feet below land surface or 5 feet into
consolidated bedrock;
z. The entire length of the casing shall be grouted. A drill bit that is at least 1/3 greater
than the outside diameter of the casing shall be used to drill the cased portion of the
well. Grout should be installed using the pressure method. The installation of grout
using a tremmie pipe is acceptable if the annular space to be grouted is free of
obstructions;
3. The well shall be located in the area identified on the map included with the variance
request;

Page z of z
4. The well driller shall be certified by the North Carolina Well Contractor
Certification Commission as required by General Statutes 87-98.4, Title i5A NCAC
27.oioi and .olio;
5. Notification shall be given to Ted Minnick or Landon Davidson at the letterhead
address or by phone at 828.25i.6208, at least 24 hours prior to the start of well
construction; and,
6. Notification shall be given to Ted Minnick or Landon Davidson at the letterhead
address or by phone at 828.25i.6zo8, upon completion of the well.
It is my finding that the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for
approval of a variance as defined in i5A NCAC zC .o118. A copy of this variance should
be attached to the required Well Construction Record (GW-i).
The granting of this variance is for the location of the well only, and in no way
relieves the owner or agent from other requirements for the North Carolina Well
Construction Standards, or any other applicable law, rule or regulation that may be
regulated by other agencies. If you are dissatisfied with this decision, you may
commence a contested case by filing a petition under G.S. 150-23 within sixty (6o) days
after receipt of the decision.
If you have any questions regarding this variance, please contact G. Landon Davidson
at 8z8-z5i-67,o8, ext. 301.

permission. The CD file is in CorelDraw; if other formats are needed, please let me
know. The last pamphlet, "How to Select a Well Contractor" used blue text for the title;
please specify that white text be used for the cover title as was used on the other two
earlier pamphlets. I also must admit that I was not too keen on the cover art for the last
pamphlet as the cropping was poor. Please have at least one more person look this over

Dear Ms. Hall:
The Asheville Regional Office (ARO) has reviewed the first quarterly pre-CAP
monitoring report for the subject site. The results of the sampling indicate that the
concentrations of contaminants in the monitoring wells were within the historical range. We
agree to eliminate nitrate, nitrite, sulfate, sulfide and DOC from the monitoring list,because the
data already show that they are not significant at the site. However, chloride should still be
sampled and analyzed because each dechlorination step from PCE and TCE would release Cl-,
and it is an important indicator of the natural degradation processes. The next monitoring report
should be sent to this office by February 28, 2003.

Re.: Monitoring Plan for N87N2—Equalization Basin
Monitoring Well
Buncombe Co.
Dear Mr. Barber,
The Groundwater Section received the analytical results for the recent sampling of
N87N2 on December 13, 2002 via facsimile. Thank you for submitting this information.
According to the analytical results, volatile organic constituents were not detected above the
applicable groundwater standard listed in 15A NCAC 2L .0200.
However, based upon a review of the analytical results of samples obtained from N87N2,
volatile organic compounds have been detected above the groundwater standards in the past.
Most recently, trichloroethene was detected above the groundwater standard during the
November 2001 sampling event. Due to the presence of chlorinated solvents in the subject
monitoring well,the Division of Water Quality is requesting that you continue monitoring this
well after the associated permit has been rescinded. The subject well is to be sampled every
March and September. The water level should be recorded and groundwater from the well
analyzed using EPA Method 6230D. Results are to be submitted to this office no later than 60
days following sample collection.
The analytical results will be reviewed and a course of action determined. Continued
monitoring or additional assessment may be necessary dependent upon future analytical results.
The Division appreciates your cooperation in this matter. If you should have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me at 828-251-6208, ext. 301 or at

NORTH CAROLINA WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
Rule 15A NCAC 2C .0107(a)(2)(M)-Well Location
Rodney Coggin Property, Whittier
Jackson County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Hedden:
This is in reference to your request received December 13,2002,asking for approval of a variance from the
referenced Rule,which requires that a water supply well be located a minimum of 25 feet from any building
foundation. Because of the location of the septic system and the small size of the property,the only suitable location
for the well is 12 feet from the foundation.
The following factors,which would act to mitigate any potential problems,which could adversely affect
human health and/or the effective operation of this well,as a result of not meeting the regulatory requirements,are
that:
1) the casing depth shall be the greater of 40 feet below land surface or 5 feet into bedrock,
2) the entire depth of the casing shall be grouted,and
3) the foundation shall not be treated with pesticides within 25 feet of the well head.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my finding that
the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A
NCAC 2C .0118.
The granting of this variance does not effect any of the other requirements of the NORTH CAROLINA
WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules.
This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been constructed by that date, please apply for a new variance.

SUBJECT: Permit Renewal
Linville Resort—Residuals Land Application
GW 02184

I have reviewed the subject application package and talked with the facility operator.
According to Mr. Parlior, the residuals have never been applied at the site and all residuals from
the facility have been hauled to Boone WWTF. Linville Resort does not have the intention to
use the site to dispose their residuals.
During our phone conversation (12/16/2002), you indicated that the Linville Resort is
considering withdraw their application. There is no need at this time to make a site visit. If
Linville Resort decides to renew the permit, more information is likely needed, e.g., soil scientist
report and sludge analyses, etc.
If you have any question, please do not hesitate to call me at (828) 25 1-6208 est. 228.

Groundwater Incident Number: 21624
Dear Mr. Poplin:
I have reviewed all the documents on file for the subject site. A minor groundwater
contamination incident was documented and a groundwater-monitoring plan was implemented.
However, apparently a new and more significant release happened after the initial groundwater
contamination was detected. The new incident has been assigned a new groundwater incident
number: 85604. The operator of the facility, Midstate Contractors Corporation, has assumed the
responsibility of the clean-up activities. A comprehensive site assessment report has been
submitted to this office, and a pre-CAP monitoring plan has been implemented. Considering the
site history, this office agrees that at this time no further action is required for the groundwater
incident(21624). However, this does not relieve Vulcan Materials Company from potential
liability for the groundwater incident (85604) because of its ownership of the property.
We appreciate your effort and cooperation on this matter. If you have any questions
about this letter, please do not hesitate to call me at the letterhead number.

Subject: Request for Variance
NORTH CAROLINA WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
Rule 15A NCAC 2C .0107(a)(2)(M,O)-Well Location
Shelar Property,Murphy
Cherokee County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Dickey:
This is in reference to your request received November 20,2002,asking for approval of a variance from the
referenced Rules,which require that a water supply well be located a minimum of 25 feet from any building
foundation and 25 feet from any surface water. Because of the location of the septic system and the topography of
the property,the only suitable location for the well is 15 feet from the foundation and 15 feet from a small stream.
I
The following factors,which would act to mitigate any potential problems,which could adversely affect
human health and/or the effective operation of this well,as a result of not meeting the regulatory requirements, are
that:
1. the casing shall be galvanized,
2. the entire depth of the casing shall be grouted,and
3. the foundation shall not be treated with pesticides within 25 feet of the wellhead.
( Additional requirements are that:
I. if the bedrock depth is<50 feet,the casing shall extend the greater of 15
feet into bedrock or 40 feet below land surface; or
2. if the bedrock depth is 50-100 feet,the casing shall extend 10 feet into bedrock; or
3. if the bedrock depth is>100 feet,the casing shall extend 5 feet into bedrock.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my finding that
the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A
r NCAC 2C .0118.
The granting of this variance does not effect any of the other requirements of the NORTH CAROLINA
WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules.
This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been constructed by that date,please apply for a new variance.

Dear Mr. Chenowith:
The Asheville Regional Office has received the groundwater monitoring report for
the subject site. According to the report the tetrachloroethene was detected again at a
level above the NC groundwater standard and no other volatile and semi-volatile
organics were detected in the groundwater samples. Because the contaminated soil
and groundwater are still present at the site, the groundwater monitoring must be
continued and the next monitoring report should be submitted to this office by June 30,
2003. The analytical method - EPA Method 625 plus 10 peaks, may be replaced by a
less expensive EPA Method 625 (base and neutrals only) or GC Method 610.
We appreciate your effort and cooperation on the project. If you have any

Dear Mr. Jayne:
The Asheville Regional Office has reviewed the groundwater monitoring report for the
subject site. According to the report groundwater samples were collected from three monitoring
wells. A groundwater sample from MW-1 showed that the concentrations of petroleum
hydrocarbons were still significantly higher than the North Carolina's groundwater standards
(NCAC 2L). Therefore, the groundwater monitoring must be continued. All three monitoring
wells should be sampled during March of 2003 and the monitoring report be submitted to this
office by May 31, 2003. Additional groundwater assessment/remediation may be required if the
new sampling results indicate the groundwater quality continues to deteriorate.

Dear Ms. Wilson:
The Asheville Regional Office has reviewed a groundwater monitoring report for the
subject site. According to the report, groundwater samples were collected from four monitoring
wells, and the analytical results indicated that several volatile organic compounds were detected
in three monitoring wells (MW-2, MW-3, and MW-4). But only two compounds in the sample
from MW-2 were determined to be above NC groundwater standards.
Based upon these analytical results, this office determines that the groundwater
monitoring must be continued. Four monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and MW-4)
should be sampled in the month of April of 2003, and the monitoring report is to be submitted to
this office by June 30, 2003.

Dear Mr. Mintz:
This is in reference to your request received October 29,2002, asking for approval of a variance from the
referenced Rule,which requires that a water supply well be located a minimum of 50 feet from any above ground
storage tank. Because of the size of the property and the location of the septic system,the only suitable location for
the well is 25 feet from the above ground tank.
A factor which would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human health
and/or the effective operation of this well,as a result of not meeting the regulatory requirements,is that the entire
depth of the casing shall be grouted.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my finding that
the factor specified above is sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A NCAC
2C .0118.
The granting of this variance does not effect any of the other requirements of the NORTH CAROLINA
WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules.
This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been constructed by that date,please apply for a new variance.

concern I have is that some of the fields (Zone 10 and 12) are very close to the residential houses and a
pond. It is questionable if the buffer requirements for these irrigation fields are met. I was told that the
irrigation plan of the treated wastewater has been recorded in the deeds; therefore,the buys are aware

Dear Mr. Fesko:
The Asheville Regional Office has received and reviewed the CSA Addendum report for the
subject site. The CSA and addendum reports were prepared by Leggette, Brashears & Graham,
Inc. on your behalf. According to the reports, the vertical and horizontal extents of soil and
groundwater contamination have been determined. The site geology and hydrogeological
properties have been established during the field investigation, and the potential impacts on the
receptors have been evaluated. We understand that a Correct Action Plan (CAP) will be prepared
and submitted to this office sixty (60) days after the monitoring data from the injection pilot test
become available. Groundwater samples will be collected from the monitoring wells three months
after the initial injection. If the first round of pilot test is successful, the injection activities will be
expanded to the other effected areas. The pre-CAP groundwater monitoring should be conducted
quarterly and monitoring reports must be submitted to this office no later than forty-five days after
the samples are collected.

Re.: Analytical Results of September Sampling
Permit No.: WI0100002
Dear Mr. Johnson,
On September 11, 2002, staff of the Asheville Regional Office collected additional
groundwater samples from your heat pump system including your water supply well. Additional
sampling was necessary due to the presence of elevated levels of some metals in the system
effluent just prior to injection. The laboratory analytical results of the last two sampling events
are attached.
The September analytical results indicate that all metals in the effluent sample (named
HJEFF) were below the 2L groundwater standards. I have forwarded this information to the
Central Office for their review in relation to your permit renewal. It is my understanding that
your permit renewal will be granted. As we discussed on the 18th, analytical results for your
water supply well (named HJINF) indicate that lead was detected at 56 ppb (parts per billion).
Previous sampling results detected lead at 14 ppb. The EPA drinking water standard for lead is 0
ppb for MCL and 15 ppb for MCLG2. A health risk assessment for these analytical results is
being requested. Someone from our office will resample the well and your kitchen tap for lead
in the near future. You will be contacted to arrange a convenient time to sample.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 828-251-6208, ext.

Dear Mr. Humphrey,
On October 15, 2002, the Groundwater Section of the Division of Water Quality sent you
a letter in regards to the recently rescinded permit. Specifically, our letter required abandonment
of the monitoring wells associated with the permit's required groundwater monitoring. It was
my understanding that these wells (i.e., MW-1, 2, 3 and 4) were not being used in the ongoing
groundwater contamination monitoring; this was incorrect.
Please note that abandonment is not required for any of these wells as long as their
integrity is maintained and they to not serve as a source or channel of contamination. Please note
that when the wells are abandoned, the requirements of 15A NCAC 02C .0113 must be applied.
Your consultant has proposed that monitoring reports being sent to my office be in
electronic format. We agree with this proposal.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 828-251-6208, ext. 301.

Dear Mr. Roland:
This is in reference to your request received October 22,2002,asking for approval of a variance from the
referenced Rule,which requires that a water supply well be located a minimum of 25 feet from any building
foundation. Because of the location of the septic tank and the steepness of the property, the only suitable location
for the well is 16 feet from the house foundation.
Factors which would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human health
and/or the effective operation of this well, as a result of not meeting the regulatory requirements, are that the entire
depth of the casing shall be grouted and the foundation shall not be treated with pesticides within 25 feet of the well
head.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my finding that
the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A
NCAC 2C .0118.
The granting of this variance does not effect any of the other requirements of the NORTH CAROLINA
WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules.
This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been constructed by that date, please apply for a new variance.

Dear Mr. Humphrey,
I
On June 14, 2002, the Water Quality Section of the Asheville Regional Office rescinded
the subject permit. Under the subject permit, you were required to monitor groundwater quality
in four monitoring wells. Based upon our review of the existing groundwater monitoring data
and the rescission of the permit, the Groundwater Section is no longer requiring any groundwater
monitoring associated with this permit.
Within sixty (60) days upon your receipt of this letter, monitor wells MW-I, MW-2,
I MW-3 and MW-4 shall be permanently abandoned. Within thirty (30) days of abandonment, a
Well Abandonment Record (see attached form GW-30) shall be completed for each well
abandoned and mailed to the address listed in the "Reporting/Documentation"section of the
Groundwater Requirements or this regional office. The wells must be abandoned by a North
Carolina Certified Well Contractor, the property owner, or the property lessee according to
General Statutes 87-98.4(b)(2). If the abandonment is not performed by a certified well
contractor, the property owner or lessee must physically perform the actual well abandonment
1 activities and the wells must be abandoned according to the North Carolina Well Construction
Standards (15A NCAC 2C .0113) and local county rules.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 828-251-6209, ext. 301.

Dear Ms. Duke,
The October 11, 2002 Polk County Groundwater Protection Ordinance Study Team's
meeting resulted in the decision to assess the requirement that well installation and testing occur
prior to construction of the home. I am providing you this information at your request and in
hopes it helps you in formulating a new draft ordinance congruent with Friday's group decision.
Attached you will find well regulations for the Town of Monterey (see web address
http //w �v monterev-ma.ore/Public Documents/MonterevMA About/We11Regulations.pdD.
Sections V.C., V.D. and V.I. appear to be similar to the topic discussed on Friday. I realize these
are wells regulations and not planning ordinances, but these particular sections could be
incorporated into your subdivision ordinance as the other sections would be included into the
draft county well ordinance that Mr. Trout is reviewing. In regard to quality testing of the well
water, please see my handwritten notes in the margin of section V.C. I've also included prices
from Pace Laboratories as requested for total coliform, nitrate and nitrite. The group may also
wish to consider including analysis for settable solids and turbidity (see prices on attachment).
Standards for these two parameters are part of the State's well rules and are also typically
included in County well ordinances. Required testing at this phase would ensure that the well
was adequately constructed and developed.
In regard to water quantity testing, I've attached a number of references from primarily
well regulation rules. The attached Monterey ordinance has 110 gallons per bedroom per day
that differs slightly from your original draft ordinance of 150 gallons per bedroom per day.
Obviously the 150 gallons per bedroom per day is more conservative. In the attached Monterey
example, you will note the table of required well yields. Section I. of Guilford County's rules
(attached) also include a well yield table. In essence, these are included in an effort to require a
minimum amount of water storage in the well in relation to the well's tested yield. Again, these
tables are out of well regulation rules and not subdivision ordinances however, they are directly
related to the group's discussions of October 11`h. You may wish to incorporate these or use the
corrected language that already exists in the draft proposal "revisions", Section 1, a.4.(B).

Mary Helen Duke—Polk Co. Planning
Page 2 of 2
October 14, 2002
As far as methods for testing the well yield, there are numerous methods out there and
example references including 15A NCAC 02C .0110 of the State's rules, page 34 of the Guilford
County rules, the previous draft from the study team and again the reference Monterey rule, all
of which vary in duration of the tests. You may also recall Nat Wilson's recommendation of a
single-well pump test although I don't recall if he recommended the amount of time duration for
the pump or aquifer test. Obviously with longer time periods such as 12 hours or 24 hours,the
data quality increases but so would the costs passed on to the well owner. Several counties in the
State have simply adopted the 2C rule's language on well yield tests.
One issue that was not discussed at the meeting was setback requirements for wells from
the building foundation. Currently, 25ft is the minimum separation distance required between a
well and a building foundation. If the well is required to be installed prior to the building (i.e.,
home), the separation requirement would then revert to the county's building code requirement.
This is a minor issue that may already be addressed in the county building codes.
I hope this information is helpful. Again, I applaud Polk County for attempting to
address such an issue as groundwater resource protection and I hope this is the first step in your
County in adequately assessing and protecting our groundwater resources. Please let me know if
I can provide any additional information or review. Regrettably, I will not be able to attend the
meeting on October 25`h, however, I will be available to review future drafts and continue to
provide assistance. Thank you again for including me in these matters.
Sincere ,

Re.: Request for Environmental Review for NC Division
of Community Assistance Projects
Dear Mr. Tapp,
On September 23, 2002, I received your request for review of the subject project. In
discussing the project with you, it is understood that the specific locations or sites have not been
selected. However, I will offer the following general comments based on my understanding of
the home rehabilitation projects and what may be encountered.
Fuel Storage Tanks
If home heating fuel oil tanks are encountered at any of the sites, please determine if the
tanks are leaking. If the tanks are underground,please contact the Underground Storage Tank
Section at 828-251-6208 for guidance on determining if the tank is leaking. This Section should
also be able to provide information on how to remove an underground storage tank if removal is
necessary. Any continued use of a heating system using fuel oil should be checked for leaks
from the furnace to the tank. If you encounter any soil contaminated with fuel oil, please call my
office to determine proper assessment and disposal.
Water Supply Wells
Any water supply well that is currently not in use must be properly abandoned by a
certified contractor. Please contact my office for more information on this matter and refer to the
enclosed pamphlet. If you are installing water supply wells, you are required to use a certified
well contractor. Please see the enclosed pamphlets for more information on this matter.
I
If you encounter any other issue you believe may adversely impact groundwater such as
failing septic tanks, improper chemical storage or disposal, etc, please do not hesitate to contact
me at 828-251-6208, ext. 301. Since you are not planning any infrastructure improvements, I
believe this project will have no adverse impacts on groundwater.

Bellamy Property,Hendersonville
Henderson County,North Carolina
Dear Mr.Bellamy:
This is in reference to your request received October 10,2002,asking for approval of a variance from the
referenced Rule,which requires that a water supply well be located a minimum of 50 feet from any above ground
storage tank that contains heating oil. Because of the location of two(2)septic tank systems and the driveway,the
only suitable location for the well is 23 feet from the storage tank.
A factor which would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human health
and/or the effective operation of this well, as a result of not meeting the regulatory requirements, is that the entire
depth of the casing shall be grouted.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my finding that
the factor specified above is sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A NCAC
2C .0118.
The granting of this variance does not effect any of the other requirements of the NORTH CAROLINA
WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules.
This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been constructed by that date, please apply for a new variance.

Dear Mr. Morrow:
The Asheville Regional Office has reviewed the fourth quarterly post-CAP monitoring report for the
subject site. Water Edge Environmental, LLC, prepared the report on your behalf. The monitoring well sampling
results indicate that the concentration levels of the contaminants were decreasing. The groundwater remediation
system is operating as designed.
We approve the request that the monitoring schedule be reduced to a semiannual base. The next
monitoring report should be submitted to this office by March 31,2003. Water samples should be collected from
WSW#3, EW-11, MW-10,MW-12, MW-13, MW-14, and MW-17, and analyzed for VOCs, chromium and lead.
The monitoring report shall include groundwater monitoring data,remediation system data(running time and down
time, volume of water pumped and treated, and amount of product recovered,etc.), and an evaluation on the
effectiveness of the remediation system. Based upon the soil sampling results, the operation of the SVE system can
be terminated during the next sampling event.
We appreciate your effort and cooperation on this project. If you have any questions or comments, please

Re.: Notice of Violation
G.S. 143-215. et seg.
Oil Pollution and Hazardous
Substance Control Act of 1978
NCDOT Burke County Maintenance Yard
Morganton, Burke County
Site Priority Ranking: currently unassigned
Dear Mr. Spangler:
North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 143, authorizes and directs the Environmental
Management Commission of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to protect
and preserve the water and air resources of the state. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has
the delegated authority to enforce adopted pollution control rules and regulations.
Based upon a review of analytical results of soil samples collected from the subject site,
the DWQ has reason to believe that you are responsible for activities resulting in noncompliance
with North Carolina law. The specific violations of General Statute 143-215.75 et seq., Oil
Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act, are as follows:
I. G.S. 143-215.83 (a) Unlawful Discharges:
It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge oil or other hazardous substances
into or upon any waters or land within the state.
2. G.S. 143-215.84 (a) Removal of Prohibited Discharges:
Any person having control over oil or other hazardous substances discharged in
violation of this article shall immediately undertake to collect and remove the

discharge and to restore the area affected by the discharge as nearly as may be to
the condition existing prior to the discharge.
3. G.S. 143-215.8 5, Required Notice :
Any person having control over oil or other hazardous substances discharged,
shall immediately notify the Department of the nature, location, and time of the
discharge and of the measures taken or are proposed to be taken to contain and
remove the discharge.
To correct the violations, you are required to do the following:
I. Conduct a soil assessment to determine the horizontal and vertical extent of the
contamination. This action is necessary because methylene chloride is present
above the action level (20 ug/kg). You are to determine the depth to groundwater
and calculate using a leachate-type model if groundwater will be impacted above
the applicable groundwater standards. Another option is to remove all
contaminated soil above the action limit and collect confirmation samples at the
base of the excavation.
2. Submit a report to the Asheville Regional Office assessing the cause, significance,
extent of the release and actions taken to remove the contamination including soil
disposal activities;
You are requested to contact the Division in writing, within 15 days of receipt of this
letter, of your intention to comply and submit a plan of action and a schedule for achieving
compliance. Failure to respond within the time specified and to voluntarily achieve compliance
may result in ftirther enforcement action, to include a recommendation for proposed penalty
assessment, which provides for a civil penalty of not more than $10,000.00 for each violation.
Please contact Qu Qi if you should have any questions.

Henderson County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Griffin:
This is in reference to your request received September 25,2002,asking for approval of a variance from
the referenced Rule,which requires that a water supply well be located a minimum of 25 feet from any building
foundation. Because of the location of the septic tank and the lot size of the property,the only suitable location for
the well is 15 feet from the foundation.
Factors which would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human health
and/or the effective operation of this well,as a result of not meeting-the regulatory requirements,are that the entire
depth of the casing shall be grouted and the foundation shall not be treated with pesticides within 25 feet of the well
head.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my finding that
the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A
NCAC 2C .0 118.
The granting of this variance does not effect any of the other requirements of the NORTH CAROLINA
WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules
This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been constructed by that date,please apply for a new variance.

Any person having control over oil or other hazardous substances discharged, shall
immediately notify the Department of the nature, location, and time of the discharge and
of the measures taken or are proposed to be taken to contain and remove the discharge.
To correct the violations, you are required to do the following:
I. Additional soil samples are to be collected from the area of GP-I and 3 at a depth below
the original sampling depths. The soil sample is to be analyzed using EPA Method 8270.
This action is necessary because petroleum constituents are present above the action level
and the vertical extent of these constituents has not been determined. You are to
determine the depth to groundwater and calculate using a leachate-type model if
groundwater will be impacted above the applicable groundwater standards. Another
option is to remove all soil above the action limit and collect a confirmation sample at the
base of the excavation. If there is not enough buffer to protect groundwater, a temporary
monitoring well should be installed between GP I and GP3 and a groundwater water
sample should be collected and analyzed by EPA Methods 62 101)and 625 plus 10 largest
non-targeted peaks identified and 3030C for lead and chromium.
2. Install two monitoring wells behind the buildina to determine the possibility of
groundwater impact from an off-site source. One well should be installed near the GP-4,
and the second well be installed near the comer of West Main Street sidewalk and the
Showroom. Groundwater samples should be collected and analyzed by EPA Methods
602 with xylenes and 625 plus 10 largest non-target peaks identified.
3. Submit a report to the Asheville Regional Off-ice assessing the cause, significance, extent
of the release and actions taken to remove the contamination including soil disposal
activities.
You are requested to contact the Division in writing, within 15 days of receipt of this letter, of
your intention to comply and submit a plan of action and a schedule for achieving compliance. Failure to
respond within the time specified and to voluntarily achieve compliance may result in further enforcement
action,to include a recommendation for proposed penalty assessment, which provides for a civil penalty
of not more than $10,000.00 for each violation. Please contact Qu Qi at the letterhead number if you
should have any questions.

Incident#19745
Dear Ms. Richey:
The Asheville Regional Office has reviewed the groundwater monitoring report for the
subject site. The report was prepared by BPA Environmental & Engineering, Inc. on your behalf.
According to the report, the targeted contaminants were not detected in the groundwater.
However, because the contaminated soil may still be present based on the last soil sampling
result, the groundwater quality must be monitored. The next monitoring report should be
submitted to this office by July 30, 2003. Soil samples should be taken during the next sampling
event to evaluate the progress of the natural degradation. Samples should be analyzed by EPA
Methods 8260 and 8270. Site closure is possible if groundwater remains clean and soil samples
taken at known remaining "hot spots" show the concentrations of contaminants are below the
relevant soil standards.
If you have any questions, please call me at [phone] ext. 228.

Dear Mr. Hooper:
This is in reference to your request received August 22,2002,asking for approval of a variance from the
referenced Rule,which requires that a water supply well be located a minimum of 25 feet from any surface water.
Because of the location of the septic tank and the spring run-off,the only suitable location for the well is 10 feet
from the spring.
Factors which would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human health
and/or the effective operation of this well, as a result of not meeting the regulatory requirements, are that the entire
depth of the casing shall be grouted and the foundation shall not be treated with pesticides within 25 feet of the well
head.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my finding that
the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A
NCAC 2C .0 118.
The granting of this variance does not effect any of the other requirements of the NORTH CAROLINA
WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules
This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been constructed by that date,please apply for a new variance.

Subject: Review of Semi-Annual Groundwater and Remediation System Monitoring Report
Square D Company
128 Bingham Road, Asheville,North Carolina
Groundwater Incident Number: 5394
Dear Ms. Mason:
The Asheville Regional Office (ARO) has reviewed the semi-annual monitoring report
for the subject site. The results of the monitoring analyses indicate that the concentrations of
contaminants in most monitoring wells were within the historical range. However, the
concentration of tetrachloroethene (PCE) in WW-2 (a bedrock recovery well) was significantly
increased since the pumping started in 1998. Considering the site hydrogeologic conditions, the
ARO agrees that there is the possibility that PCE is migrating to this location from an off-site
source. Continued pumping from this well may increase the risk of drawing more contaminants
towards the site. Therefore, this office approves your request that the pumping from WW-2 be
suspended. The pump and treat shall be continued at all other recovery wells, and the next
monitoring report is due by the end of December, 2002.
Please call me at [phone] ext. 228 if you have any questions. We appreciate your
cooperation on this project.
Sincerely,
(C'�_ C�)i

Dear Mr. Rhodes:
This is in reference to your request received August 9,2002,asking for approval of a variance from the
referenced Rule, which requires that a water supply well be located a minimum of 25 feet from any building-
foundation. Because of the location of the septic tank and the steep bank,the only suitable location for the well is
19 feet from the foundation.
Factors which would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human health
and/or the effective operation of this well,as a result of not meeting the regulatory requirements,are that the entire
depth of the casing shall be grouted and the foundation shall not be treated with pesticides within 25 feet of the well
head.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my finding that
the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A
NCAC 2C .0 118.
The granting of this variance does not effect any of the other requirements of the NORTH CAROLINA
WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules.
This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been constructed by that date, please apply for a new variance.

Site Priority Ranking: 25 B
Dear Ms. Wilson:
The Asheville Regional Office has reviewed the CSA report for the subject site.
According to the report, soil samples collected from the excavation limits indicated that the
concentrations of oil and grease were above the NC soil standards. Groundwater samples were
collected from four monitoring wells, and the analytical results indicated that several volatile
organic compounds were detected in three monitoring wells (MW-2, MW-3, and MW-4). But
only two compounds in the sample from MW-2 were determined to be above NC groundwater
standards.
Based upon these analytical results, this office determines that the groundwater
monitoring must be continued. Four monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and MW-4)
should be sampled three times over the next year and analyzed for volatile and semi-volatile
organics. The first round of samples should be collected by the end of September of 2002, and
monitoring report is to be submitted to this office by November 29, 2002. During the third
sampling event at the end of the one-year monitoring, soil samples should also be collected at the
known remaining"hot spots" and analyzed for evaluation of the progress of natural degradation.
Groundwater monitoring data should be evaluated and possible remediation approaches be
discussed in the report.
Site closure is possible if the groundwater becomes clean and if soil samples taken at
known remaining "hot spots" show that the concentrations of the contaminants are below the
relevant soil standards.

NORTH CAROLINA WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS

Moore Property,Old Fort
McDowell County,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Rhodes:
This is in reference to your request received July 10,2002,asking for approval of a variance from the
referenced Rule,which requires that a water supply well be located a minimum of 25 feet from any building
foundation. Because of the location of the septic tank and the small lot size,the only suitable location for the well is
18 feet from the foundation.
Factors which would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human health
and/or the effective operation of this well, as a result of not meeting the regulatory requirements,are that the entire
depth of the casing shall be grouted and the foundation shall not be treated with pesticides within 25 feet of the well
head.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my firiding that
the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defuied in 15A
NCAC 2C .0 118.
The granting of this variance does not effect any of the other requirements of the NORTH CAROLINA
WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules.
This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been constructed by that date, please apply for a new variance.

Re.: Notice of Violation
G.S. 143-215. et seg.
Oil Pollution and Hazardous
Substance Control Act of 1978
Former Carolina Tire Company #2933
Site Priority Ranking: currently unassigned
Buncombe County
Dear Ms. Burlingame,
North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 143, authorizes and directs the Environmental
Management Commission of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to protect
and preserve the water and air resources of the state. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)has
the delegated authority to enforce adopted pollution control rules and regulations.
Based upon a review of analytical results of soil samples collected from the subject site,
the DWQ has reason to believe that you are responsible for activities resulting in noncompliance
with North Carolina law. The specific violations of General Statute 143-215.75 et seq., Oil
Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act, are as follows:
I. G.S. 143-215.83 (a) Unlawful Discharges:
It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge oil or other hazardous substances
into or upon any waters or land within the state.

2. G.S. 143-215.84 (a) Removal of Prohibited Discharges:
Any person having control over oil or other haza dous substances discharged in
violation of this article shall immediately undertake to collect and remove the
discharge and to restore the area affected by the discharge as nearly as may be to
the condition existing prior to the discharge.
3. G.S. 143-215.85, Required Notice :
Any person having control over oil or other hazardous substances discharged,
shall immediately notify the Department of the nature, location, and time of the
discharge and of the measures taken or are proposed to be taken to contain and
remove the discharge.
To correct the violations, you are required to do the following:
I Ensure that the oil/water separator discharges to either a sanitary sewer or
is properly permitted to discharge otherwise. You are to include the
findings regarding this discharge in the report required below;
2. Because chromium was detected above the action limits, it is necessary to
confirm the source of the chromium and its potential to impact
groundwater. There are two options to address the presence of chromium
in soil at the site: 1) collect a background soil sample at the same
approximate depth and of similar soil type onsite and analyze for
chromium. The analytical results of the soil sample can then be used as a
cleanup level or for comparative purposes to demonstrate that the detected
value represents natural background concentrations; 2) determine the
depth to groundwater and calculate using a leachate model if groundwater
will be impacted by the chromium above the applicable groundwater
standard. This option would require that the depth to groundwater be
determined.
3. An additional soil sample is to be collected from the area of GP-I at a
depth below the 4 ft. sample depth. The soil sample is to be analyzed using
EPA Method 8270. This action is necessary because contaminants are
present above the action level and the vertical extent of these constituents
has not been determined. You are to determine the depth to groundwater
and calculate using a leachate-type model if groundwater will be impacted
above the applicable groundwater standards. Another option is to remove
all soil above the action limit and collect a confirmation sample at the base
of the excavation. If contaminated soil is found in contact with
groundwater, a temporary monitoring well should be installed. A sample
collected from the well should be analyzed using EPA Method 6210D and
625 plus 10 largest non-targeted peaks identified and 3030C for lead and
chromium.

4. Submit a report to the Asheville Regional Office assessing the cause,
significance, extent of the release and actions taken to remove the
contamination including soil disposal activities;
You are requested to contact the Division in writing, within 15 days of receipt of this
letter, of your intention to comply and submit a plan of action and a schedule for achieving
compliance. Failure to respond within the time specified and to voluntarily achieve compliance
may result in further enforcement action, to include a recommendation for proposed penalty
assessment, which provides for a civil penalty of not more than $10,000.00 for each violation.
Please contact me if you should have any questions.

Dear Ms. Burlingame,
North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 143, authorizes and directs the Environmental
Management Commission of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to protect
and preserve the water and air resources of the state. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has
the delegated authority to enforce adopted pollution control rules and regulations.
Based upon a review of analytical results of soil samples collected from the subject site,
the DWQ has reason to believe that you are responsible for activities resulting in noncompliance
with North Carolina law. The specific violations of General Statute 143-215.75 et§Leq., Oil
Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act, are as follows:
G.S. 143-215.83 (a)Unlawful Discharges:
It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge oil or other hazardous substances
into or upon any waters or land within the state.

2. G.S. 143-215.84 (a) Removal of Prohibited Discharges:
Any person having control over oil or other hazardous substances discharged in
violation of this article shall immediately undertake to collect and remove the
discharge and to restore the area affected by the discharge as nearly as may be to
the condition existing prior to the discharge.
3. G.S. 143-215.85, Required Notice :
Any person having control over oil or other hazardous substances discharged,
shall immediately notify the Department of the nature, location, and time of the
discharge and of the measures taken or are proposed to be taken to contain and
remove the discharge.
To correct the violations, you are required to do the following:
I Ensure that the oil/water separator discharges to either a sanitary sewer or
is properly permitted to discharge otherwise. This action is necessary
because contaminated soil is present in proximity to the onsite oil/water
separator. You are to include the findings regarding this discharge in the
report required below;
2. Because chromium was detected above the action limits, it is necessary to
confirm the source of the chromium and its potential to impact
groundwater. There are two options to address the presence of chromium
in soil at the site: 1) collect a background soil sample at the same
approximate depth and of similar soil type onsite and analyze for
chromium. The analytical results of the soil sample can then be used as a
cleanup level or for comparative purposes to demonstrate that the detected
value represents natural background concentrations; 2) determine the
depth to groundwater and calculate using a leachate model if groundwater
will be impacted by the chromium above the applicable groundwater
standard. This option would require that the depth to groundwater be
determined.
3. An additional soil sample is to be collected from the area of GP-I at a
depth below the 8-10 ft. sample depth. The soil sample is to be analyzed
using EPA Method 8270. This action is necessary because petroleum
constituents are present above the action level and the vertical extent of
these constituents has not been determined. You are to determine the
depth to groundwater and calculate using a leachate-type model if
groundwater will be impacted above the applicable groundwater
standards. Another option is to remove all soil above the action limit and
collect a confirmation sample at the base of the excavation.

You are requested to contact the Division in writing, within 15 days of receipt of this
letter, of your intention to comply and submit a plan of action and a schedule for achieving
compliance. Failure to respond within the time specified and to voluntarily achieve compliance
may result in further enforcement action,to include a recommendation for proposed penalty
assessment, which provides for a civil penalty of not more than $10,000.00 for each violation.

regarding this discharge in the report required below;
2. Soil samples were collected from the area of GP-I at depths 0 to 4 feet and 8 to 10 feet.
The shallow soil sample showed that the concentrations of several chemicals of concern
are above the soil standards; the deep sample was clean. You are to determine the depth
to groundwater and calculate using a leachate-type model if groundwater will be
impacted above the applicable groundwater standards. Another option is to remove all
soil above the action limit and collect a confirmation sample at the base of the
excavation.
3. The presence of contaminated soil in close proximity to groundwater at GP-4 requires
that a groundwater monitoring point be installed and a sample collected to determine if
groundwater has been impacted. Because the sampling area is within an active garage-
type facility, it would be prudent to use a temporary well or push-probe type water
sampling procedure. The water sample is to be analyzed using EPA Method 6210D or
6230D. Please refer to the attached site map for the proposed location of the groundwater
sampling point.
4. Submit a report to the Asheville Regional Office assessing the cause, significance, extent

This letter is to acknowledge receipt and review of the Phase 11 Limited Subsurface Investigation
Report for Former Carolina Tire#2960. Based on a review of the data provided, this office has
determined that no further action is required at this time.
Analytical data from soil samples collected near the hydraulic lift and oil/water separator showed
levels of 4-Isopropyltoluene at 0.03169 mg/kg and 0.0178 mg/kg. Currently, there are no 2L Groundwater
Standards or soil action levels established for this compound. The LIST Guidelines for Assessment and
Corrective Action establishes a soil-to-water maximum contaminant concentration for aromatics, C9-C22
of 34 mg/kg. Since the 4-Isopropyltoluene falls within this range and the levels detected at this site were
well below the maximum soil contaminant concentration of 34 mg/kg, no additional assessment is
required at this time.

Dear Mr. Huffman:
The Asheville Regional Office has received and reviewed the site assessment report for
the subject site. The report was prepared by Altamont Environmental, Inc. on your behalf We
approve the proposed one-year pre-CAP monitoring plan. Three monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-
2, and TWA) will be sampled for VOC for three times during the next year. The geochernical
indicators for natural attenuation will be sampled during the first and last monitoring events. At
the end of the year, all data will be evaluated and a remediation approach will be proposed. The
first monitoring report should be sent to this office by August 16, 2002.
Thank you for coming to our office to discuss the groundwater-monitoring requirement.
We appreciate your effort and cooperation on this project. If you have any questions about this
letter or what we discussed during our meeting, please do not hesitate to call me at(828) 25 1-

Dear Mr. Rhodes:
This is in reference to your request received June 11,2002,asking for approval of a variance from the
referenced Rule,which requires that a water supply well be located a minimum of 25 feet from any building
foundation. Because of the location of the septic tank and the road and the small lot size,the only suitable location
for the well is 10 feet from the foundation.
Factors which would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human health
and/or the effective operation of this well,as a result of not meeting the regulatory requirements,are that the entire
depth of the casing shall be grouted and the foundation shall not be treated with pesticides within 25 feet of the well
head.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my finding that
the factors specified above are sufficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A
NCAC 2C .0 118.
The granting of this variance does not effect any of the other requirements of the NORTH CAROLINA
WELL CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS or of the requirements of any other applicable laws or rules.
This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been drilled by that date,please apply for a new variance.

Dear Mr. Ragan,
The Groundwater Section of the Asheville Regional Office received the recovery
report for April 2ooz on May 2, 2002. On May 1, 2002, the Groundwater Section received the
additional information requested in the March 26, 2002 letter.
Based on a review of the recently submitted materials, the Groundwater Section is
hereby approving the proposed corrective action plan (CAP) under NCAC Title i5A 2L
.0106(c) and CAP addendum to address the remaining groundwater contamination with the
following conditions:
i. The Groundwater Section agrees with the monitoring schedule proposed in the CAP
and will require adherence to that schedule once the system becomes operational.
2. Within ninety days (go), you are to have the CAP as proposed operational.
3. A letter report summarizing your implementation progress is to be received in this
office no later than July 31 . 2002.
4. An integral part of approval of this CAP relies on the ability of the recovery trench to
intercept any free product that may migrate off site. The portion of the trench
considered vital to its successful operation, are the wells in the northeast portion of
the trench. The last couple of recovery reports have indicated that the water table is
below the screened interval of these wells. You are to provide a workplan to address
this issue to ensure that the recovery trench is capable of intercepting any free product
thatmayremain. This workplan is to be submitted with the July 31, 2002 progress
report.

Dear Mr. Jayne:
The Asheville Regional Office has reviewed the groundwater monitoring report for the
subject site. According to the report groundwater samples were collected from three monitoring
wells. A groundwater sample from MW-I showed that the concentrations of petroleum
hydrocarbons were still significantly higher than the North Carolina's groundwater standards
(NCAC 2L). Therefore, the groundwater monitoring must be continued. All three monitoring
wells should be sampled again by September of 2002 and the monitoring report be submitted to
this office by the end of October of 2001. In addition to the sampling activity, please also
conduct a water supply well survey within 1,500 feet of the release. All water supply wells
within the range must be marked on a map. The property address and the owner contact
information must be included in a table. The well survey results can be attached to the next
monitoring report. Additional groundwater assessment/remediation may be required if the new
sampling results indicate the groundwater quality continues to deteriorate.

Dcar Mr. Lail:
The Asheville Regional Office has received a free product abatement report for the
subject site. According to the report, about 3,123 tons of contaminated soil has been excavated
and properly disposed of. However, soil samples from the southern excavation wall showed that
contaminated soil was still present; grOUndwater-sampling results also showed that
concentrations of petroleum related compounds were above the groundwater standards. We
approve Trigon's recommendation that a pre-CAP quarterly groundwater-monitoring plan be
implemented. Groundwater samples should be analyzed using EPA Methods 602 and 625. If
your intention is to use natural 11tenuation as an approach to remediate the dissolved
contaminants in the groundwater. the EPA recommended natural attenuation parameters should
also be sampled. At the end Of tile pTe-Cap monitoring period, soil samples at the known "hot
spots" should be collected and analyzed. A site condition evaluation and recommendation for
the rernediation plan should be included in the last pre-CAP monitoring report. The first
groundwater monitoring report should be sent to this office by August 30, 2002.
We appreciate your cooperation and effort On this project. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact ine at [phone] ext. 228.

Dear Ms. Wilson:
The Asheville Regional Office has reviewed the groundwater assessment report for the subject
site. According to the report, the groundwater sampling results from three monitoring wells confirmed that
groundwater contamination was present. Therefore, further groundwater assessment is required. One
monitoring well should be installed in the transition zone(top of the bedrock) in the down gradient area of
the existing MW-2. All four monitoring wells should be sampled by the end of April of 2002. Please
submit a comprehensive site assessmeril (CSA) report to this office by July 1, 2002�

Re.: Monthly Free Product Recovery Report

Incident No.: 17744
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Pagan,
Tbe Groundwater Section of the Asheville Regional Office received the recovery
report for March 2oo2 on March 2o, 2oo2. On March 15, 2002, the Groundwater Section
received the corrective action plan (CAP) addendum report.
The CAP addendum report was required in order to evaluate the applicability of the
air-sparge system proposed in the CAP. The pilot test of the modified air-sparge system
ind icates i hat the system should be adequate to address the present contamination primarily
through bioremediation. The pilot t,"t results and sparge system arrangement were
evaluated as a bio-sparge system or air-sparge system that is used primarily to enhance
bioremediation.
I lowever, based on the analytical results of groundwater samples collected from
monitoring wells MW-6R, MW-7R, MW-81Z and MW-gR, the Groundwater Section is
requiri"g additional sampling prior to CAP approval. The additional sampling is necessary
to determine if activation of the biosparge system is necessary. With the removal of the
large. volume of contaminated soil, it is necessary to determine just how much groundwater
contamination remains.
Yott are required to sample monitoring wells MW-6R, MW-8R, MW-14, and MW-
15. Samples are to be analyzed using EPA Method 602 with xylenes and 625 including the io
largest, non-target identifiable peaks. In addition, you are to include the groundwater depth
to water, temperature, PH, specific conductivity and dissolved oxygen concentration. A
rep_ortsurrjma!Liz�in this data is to be submitted to this office no later than April 30, 2002

Please note that the CAP addendum did not bear the seal of a licensed geologist or
professional engineer. You may submit a seated cover page for the CAP addendum report or
submit a new version of the report. Along with this information, please include the
construction specifications for all replacement monitoring wells. Additional questions that
are to be addressed in the April 30, ZoO2 submittal include:
• Table 3 of the subject report references TW-i and TW-z; where are these wells
or temporary points located?;
• The report references "purge sample data sheets"; these were not included in
my copy;
• Figure 4 of the report should differentiate between analytical data that was
collected on different dates;
• Please include the previous submitted figure that labels the individual wells of
the recovery trench in all subsequent reports;
• Whit is the thickness of the water table above the horizontal sparge legs (i.e.,
what is the hydraulic 'head);
• Was there any groundwater level monitoring performed during the pilot test
for wells MW-6R and MW-7R?; and,
• Please include an implementation schedule for the remediation system in case
it is approved. The dates do not have to be specific but time frames should be
accurate.

Dear Mr. McKeon:
The Asheville Regional Office has received and reviewed the CSA Addendum report for the
subJect site. The CSA and addendum report were prepared by ENSR on your behalf. According to
the reports, the vertical and horizontal extents of soil and groundwater contamination have been
determined. The site geology and hydrogeological properties have been established during the
five-phased field investigation, and the potential impacts on the receptors have been evaluated. We
understand that a Correct Action Plan (CAP) will be prepared after the monitoring data from the
injection pilot test become available. Groundwater samples will be collected from the monitoring
wells three months after the initial inJection. If the first round of pilot test is successful, the
injection activities will be expanded to tbe other effected areas. The pre-CAP groundwater
monitoring should be conducted quarterly and monitoring reports must be submitted to this office
no later than forty-five days after the samples are collected. The CAP should be submitted to this
office by October 31, 2002.
We appreciate your cooperation on this proJect. If you have any questions about this letter,

Subject: Well Sample Analysis
Dear Ms. Riley:
On .lanuary 30,2002, 1 sampled your water supply well located on Banter Road in Fairview. The water
was sampled for Total and Fecal coliform bacteria,nutrients and metals.
Laboratory results from these samples indicate that,at the time the well was sampled, Iron (Fe)and
Manganese(Mn)were present above the Groundwater Standards. The iron is more than likely naturally occurring
in the bedrock and may be filtered out. The manganese could be from the distribution system (water lines) in the
house. If the lines are copper and the water has a slightly low pill (<7.0),the reaction between the two could cause
an elevated manganese level. Iron and tuanginese can both be removed using a water softener.
Should you have any questions. plea!;c Feel fiec to contact me at(R28)251-6208,ext 268.

RE: Well Sample Results
Yo6 Sourwood Lane
Henderson County, N.C.
Dear Mr. Tripp,
On February 4, 20OZ, 1 sampled your water supply well located at io6 Sourwood Lane
in East Flat Rock. The water supply well was sampled at your request. The water sample
was analyzed for an extensive list of constituents. I have forwarded you the analytical
results with the exception of the metals that typically take longer to analyze even under
emergency" conditions.
On March 18, zoo2, I received the metal analytical results for your well water. The
simple was analyzed for the following metals: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel,
lead and zinc. Copper and zinc were the only metals detected above the method detection
limit or practical quarititation limit (PQL). A "U" beside the metal analyzed indicates that it
was not detected above the PQL. Cooper was detected at a concentration Of 23 ppb
(microgram per liter or parts pet billion). The EPA has set a secondary drinking water
standard of i.o milligrams per liter or Parts per million for cooper. Secondary drinking water
standards address those constituents that are federally non-enforceable that may cause
cosmetic effects (such as skin or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor
or color). Zinc was detected at T3 parts per million well below the 5 pprn secondary drinking
water standard. Both of the detected metals are within expected, natural concentrations.
I'm currently having the laboratory check a list of pesticides associated with clefting
in animals to ensure me we have covered them all in our analyses to-date. If for some reason
a Compound was not covered under our analyses, I will inform you and determine if
additional sampling is necessary. I have a high level of confidence in our analysis being that
no unidentifiable peaks were detected which is a strong indication no contaminants are
present.
At this point, I can only recommend that you confer with Dr. Ken Rudo regarding the
situation and the findings to-date. I will forwari him a copy of all the analytical data and
these correspondence. If lie suggests any additional sampling, we will discuss and move
forward.

Dear Ms. White:
'I his is in relcience to your request icccivcd Match 13, 2002,asking for approval ofa variance from the
iefeicticed Rule, which requires thata water�opply well be located a inininium ol'25 feet from any building
foundation. Because of (lie locadon of file septic tank and the topography of the property,the only suitable location
for the well is 15 feet From the foundation.
Factors which would act to mitigate any potential problems which could adversely affect human health
and/or the effective operation of this well,as a result of not meeting the regulatory requirements,are that the entire
depth of tire casing shall be grouted and the foundation shall not be treated with pesticides/tenniticides within 25
feet orthe well.
Based on my review of the available information and recommendations by our staff, it is my finding that
the factors specified above are sofficient to satisfy the conditions for approval of a variance as defined in 15A
NCAC 2C .01 18.
The granting of this variance(foes not effect any of the other requirements of the NORT14 CAROLINA

This Variance for the construction of a water supply well shall be valid for a period not to exceed six(6)
months from the above date. If the well has not been drilled by that date,please apply for a new variance.

Dear Mr. Graham,
North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 143, authorizes and directs the Environmental
Management Commission of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to protect
and preserve the water and air resources of the state. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has
the delegated authority to enforce adopted pollution control rules and regulations.
[lased upon observations made and analytical results of a soil sample collected during a
visit oil January 22, 2002, the DWQ has reason to believe that you are responsible for
activities resulting in noncompliance with North Carolina law. The specific violations of
Ocneial Statute 143-215.75 et seq., Oil Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act, are as
follows:
I . i.S. 143-2 15.83 (a) Unlawrtil Discharges:
It shill be tinlawrtil for -,my person to discharge oil or other hazardous substances
into or upon any waters or land within the state. Petroleum stained soil is present
surrounding the loading rack at the subject site and extends below grade based
upon observations made in the excavation and soil samples collected. The
contaminated soil contains semi-volatile or heavy fuel compounds unrelated to the
recent release of gasoline at the site. Analytical results are above the action limit
for diesel range organics (see attached laboratory sheet). During the site visit, I

observed petroleum product dripping from the dispensing arms at the loading
racks onto stained soil below. You are to immediately cease any unlawful
discharge by repairing leaks at the facility.
2. G.S. 143-215.84 (a) Removal of Prohibited Discharges:
Any person having control over oil or other hazardous substances discharged in
violation of this article shall immediately undertake to collect and remove the
discharge and to restore the area affected by the discharge as nearly as may be to
the condition existing prior to the discharge.
3. G.S. 143-215.85, Required Notice :
Any person having control over oil or other hazardous substances discharged,
shall immediately notily the Department of the nature, location, and time of the
discharge and of the measures taken or are proposed to be taken to contain and
remove the discharge.
To correct the violations, you are required to do the following:
Remove and properly dispose of all contaminated soil exceeding the
action level of40 ppm as diesel range organics, per EPA Method
8015/3550;
2. Submit a report to the Asheville Regional Office assessing the cause,
significance, extent of the release and actions taken to remove the
contamination including soil disposal activities;
3. Because petroleum contaminated soil is within close proximity to the
water table, a monitoring well is to be installed just down gradient of the
loading rack area. A groundwater sample is to be collected and analyzed
using EPA Method 602 including xylenes and 625 plus the 10 largest non-
target peaks identified. Please notify the Groundwater Section upon
completion of the monitoring well. The Section would like to collect a
groundwater sample and have it analyzed for all petroleum constituents.

You are requested to contact the Division in writing, within 15 days of receipt of this
letter, of your intention to comply and submit a plan of action and a schedule for achieving
compliance. Failure to respond within the time specified and to voluntarily achieve compliance
may result in further enforcement action, to include a recommendation for proposed penalty
assessment. which provides for a civil penalty of not more than $10,000.00 for each violation.

RE: Well Sample Results
io6 Sourwood Lane
Henderson County, N.C.
Dear Mr. Tripp,
On February 4, 2002, 1 sampled your water supply well located at to6 Sourwood Lane
in East Flat Rock. The water supply well was sampled at your request. The water sample
was analyzed for an extensive list ofconstituents. As of today, I've not received any more
approved results that I haven't already shared with you during telephone conversations.
I lowever, since some period of time has elapsed since sampling, I thought it would be
prudent to move forward and provide you with copies of the approved results to-date.
The sample collected from your well is referenced on the attached laboratory -sheets as
lab numbers 2(-',o208 and 2GO207. Refer to the upper right corner to find the lab number. In
looking at 2,G0208, the results ofthe volatile and semi-volatile analyses are reported. Volatile
and semi-volatile analyses include a wide range of chemicals found in petroleum products
and chlorinated solvents compounds. Laboratory results indicate that none of the listed
volatile or semi-volatile constituents were detected in your water sampl . You will note that
two semi-volatile compounds had a "none-detect" result but had a "jz" qualifier beside the
"PQL." This does not mean the cotripound is present but that the reported value failed to
meet the established quality control criteria for either precision or accuracy. This is in
essence a laboratory quality control issue.
Please refer to the second set of lab sheets labeled zG0207 for the remaining results.
Please note that the sheet states that results are "pending"; this is for the metals only, as they
typically take longer to analyze. Tl-,e results for the nutrients, pesticides and herbicides are
complete or finalized and discussed below.
The results of the nutrient analyses were all below detection limit except for nitrate
and nitrite (refer to 2GZ07 or 2`1 set of results). The sum of the nitrite and nitrate analytical
results is 0-79 mg/L. The drinking water standard for nitrate is to mg/L and for nitrite is l.o
mg/L. Sources of nitrate and nitrites include runoff from fertilizer use, leaching from septic
tanks and seweage. These results indicate acceptable and safe levels of nutrients in your
water sample.

The results of the three pesticide analyses and herbicide analysis indicate that no
constituents were detected above the detection limit in your water sample. These analyses
include a very complete range of pesticides and herbicides. Please note that the comments
present on the last page refer entirely to quality control and quality assurance issues. I called
the person that ran the samples today and discussed these comments with her. She explained
the meaning of these comments and indicated that the results indicate a high level of
confidence that none of these constituents are Present in your water sample. If you have any
questions about these comments please call me. If I cannot completely explain them, I will
refer you to the laboratory.
Once I receive the results of the metal analyses, I will call you and forward the results
to you. The reported results discussed above indicate that your water is safe for consumptive
use. The only remaining sampling to complete is to re-sample for bacteria. Please call me if
you have had a chance to chlorinate Your well,
Should you have questions, plenip call me at [phone], ext. 301. Thank you for
allowing me to sample your water supply well.

I have reviewed the subject permit application and visited the location. As we have discussed
last I uesdav, the spray operation is mainly conducted on gravels (only a small portion has a concrete
pad). I lie slitay field is close to an unnamed creek and the current operation only recycles a portion of
the water. I he rest of the water can percolate into the ground and discharge into the creek. We need
analytical results for the recycled water before we can make recommendations for the permit
Conditions.
I I'vou have any questions and comments about the site, please do not hesitate to call me at
[phone] ext. 229.
