GROUNDWATER REMEDIATION PERMIT
GUILFORD COUNTY

WELL LOCATION MAP
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SHEET
FOR THE COTTON MILL SQUARE SITE IN GUILFORD COUNTY
1. Rescission of Existing Permit WQ0029385
The permittee wishes to rescind existing groundwater remediation system Permit WQ0029385,
which was most recently issued on November 3, 2006. This permit allows the establishment and
operation of a 28,800 GPD "closed -loop" recirculation in -situ bioremediation system to treat
ground water over a large area contaminated with chlorinated solvents. The permitted system
used 10 injection wells and 14 extraction wells to treat an impacted area of approximately 12
acres.
The remediation system is currently inactive and a system abandonment plan has been
submitted. Written notification of consent to rescind the permit from the oversight agency, the
Division of Waste Management's Inactive Sites Branch, has been received, meeting the closure
requirement of 15A NCAC 02T .1608(a)(2) so that closure can proceed.
A new permit is being requested because the existing system has served its purpose and the
forthcoming remediation activity is on a much smaller scale than the activity that took place
under the existing permit (the forthcoming action has a maximum total injection volume of
16,500 gallons, whereas the previous system was operating on a capacity limit of 28,800 gallons
per day for more than 5 years).
2. Issuance of New Permit WQ0036621
The new permit is for further groundwater remediation consisting of extraction and subsequent
injection activities. Contaminated ground water will be extracted from existing well EW-509 in
Zone 1. This water, combined with potable water (if needed) to-achieve_a_ 1:4 to 1 10 dilution
factor with the Newman Zone injectant, will be injected into ells EW-509 and IW�-20011,.In Zone
3, contaminated ground water will be extracted from existing wells EW-512, IW-206, and,IW-
210, and a similar mixture (which may contain potable water) will be_made by adding the
Newman Zone injectant and will be injected into wells I 05 and IW-206.
The Compliance Boundary for these extraction/injection wells is established at 250 feet from
each well, or 50 feet inside the property boundary (see Figure 1). The monitoring wells for this
remediation permit are all situated outside of the areas enclosed by the Compliance Boundaries.
Monitoring will be performed in wells situated outside of the Compliance Boundary in wells
DW-10-d1, EW-511, and MW-36-s (for Zone 1); and in wells DW-02-d1, DW-06-d1, MW-13-s,
and MW-14-s (for Zone 3).

PERMIT ISSUANCE MEMO
TO: Debra Watts
THROUGH: Thomas Slusser
FROM: David Goodrich
RE: Permit To Inject Newman Zone
Cotton Mill Square property
I recommend that Permit Number WQ0036621 be issued to Weston Solutions, Inc. to inject Newman Zone and
simultaneously operate extraction wells to remediate soils and groundwater contaminated with chlorinated volatile
organic compounds (CVOCs).
SITE DESCRIPTION The site is a former Alcatel -Lucent industrial facility which experienced releases at three
locations (Zones 1, 2 and 3). The contaminant plumes are reportedly stable at this time.
HYDROGEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION The site is situated in the Piedmont Physiographic Province ofthe state and
is geologically situated in the Carolina Slate Belt. The bedrock is. composed of megacrystic and well -foliated
metamorphosed granitic rock, overlain by saprolite materials of varying thickness (0 to 70 feet). The depth to water
across the site ranges from approximately 3 feet to 37 feet, and the surficial shallow aquifer appears to have a
horizontal hydraulic gradient of approximately 0.017. The intermittent and deep aquifer units have comparable
hydraulic gradients. Based on an average hydraulic conductivity of 0.153 ft/day in the shallow saprolite aquifer unit,
the average groundwater flow rate in the upper aquifer unit is estimated to be 0.017 ft/day. Using the respective values
pertaining to the intermediate and deep aquifer zones provided by the applicant, the respective flow rates for these
aquifer units are approximately 0.14 ft/day and 0.25 ft/day.
EXTENT OF CONTAMINATION The size of the area impacted by the chemical releases is different for each of
the three aquifer zones. The shallow aquifer has an impacted area which measures approximately 1000 ft wide
(average) by 1000 feet long (Figure E-5); the intermediate/transitional aquifer zone has an impacted area which
measures approximately 900 ft wide (average) by 2600 feet long (Figure E-6); and the deep aquifer zone has an
impacted area which measures approximately 1000 ft wide by 1700 feet long (Figure E-7). The contaminated ground
water extends into the bedrock aquifer zone to a total depth of approximately 100 feet below ground surface (Figures
C-2, C-3, C-4, and C-5). The total volume of impacted groundwater is estimated to be approximately 8.5 million
cubic feet, or approximately 64 million gallons.
PROPOSED INJECTION The inj ectant is approved by the Division and is known as Newman Zone — Buffered
Nonionic Formulation. It will be injected into 4 wells, and extraction will take place from two of the same wells and
from two other wells prior to injection to provide the water for the injections. The injection wells (and extraction
wells) are all permanent. A maximum total injection volume of 16,500 gallons is anticipated into the 4 wells. The
total injected volume is equivalent to less than one four thousandth of the volume of groundwater impacted by the
contaminant substances.
HOW IT WORKS The injectant is primarily composed of food grade soybean oil, water, sodium —L-lactate,
sodium bicarbonate, and proprietary additives, emulsifiers and preservatives. It serves to feed native microbes for the
facilitation of bioremediation within the subsurface.
MONITORING The proposed monitoring plan was initially based on the monitoring included in the
Remedial Action Plan submitted for the Division of Waste Management in June of 2012. This plan has been modified
whereby the number of monitoring wells has been diminished, and the parameters have been modified in accordance
with the recommendations of the APS Regional Office and the Central Office. Monitoring will consist of a single pre -
injection sampling event and post -injection sampling events every six months at wells DW-10-d1, EW-511, and MW-
36-s (for Zone 1); and at wells DW-02-d1, DW-06-d1, MW-13-s and MW-14-s (for Zone 3) for Water Level,
Chloride, Total Iron, Temperature, Sulfate, pH, ReDox (ORP), Volatile Organic Compounds, Total Organic Carbon,
Conductivity, and Dissolved Oxygen. The final sampling event will include sampling for Nitrate Nitrogen, Oil &
Grease, and Nitrite Nitrogen. Post -injection monitoring will be performed for at least two years.
EPIDEMIOLOGY On October 7, 2004, the DHHS' Epidemiology Branch provided comments on Newman
Zone for groundwater remediation. Dr. Luanne K. Williams did not present any information that would preclude the
use of these products for injection, but did provide a health risk analysis and worker safety precautions, which are in
Part X of the attached permit. -
REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENTS Shuying Wang of the Winston-Salem Regional Office recommended issuance of
this permit. The Regional Office noted the absence of a specific monitoring plan in the application package, and
recommended several parameters. The monitoring plan was subsequently. provided, and has been adjusted with input
from the Central Office.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SHEET
FOR THE COTTON MILL SQUARE SITE IN GUILFORD COUNTY
1. Rescission of Existing Permit WQ0029385
The permittee wishes to rescind existing groundwater remediation system Permit WQ0029385,
which was most recently issued on November 3, 2006. This permit allows the establishment and
operation of a 28,800 GPD "closed -loop" recirculation in -situ bioremediation system to treat
ground water over a large area contaminated with chlorinated solvents. The permitted system
used 10 injection wells and 14 extraction wells to treat an impacted area of approximately 12
acres.
The remediation system is currently inactive and a system abandonment plan has been
submitted. Written notification of consent to rescind the permit from the oversight agency, the
Division of Waste Management's Inactive Sites Branch, has been received, meeting the closure
requirement of 15A NCAC 02T .1608(a)(2) so that closure can proceed.
A new permit is being requested because the existing system has served its purpose and the
forthcoming remediation activity is on a much smaller scale than the activity that took place
under the existing permit (the forthcoming action has a maximum total injection volume of
16,500 gallons, whereas the previous system was operating on a capacity limit of 28,800 gallons
per day for more than 5 years).
ssuance of New Permit�NQD0368� -
The new permit is for further groundwater remediation consisting of extraction and subsequent
injection activities. Contaminated ground water will be extracted from existing well EW-509 in
Zone 1. This water, combined with potable water (if needed) to achieve a 1:4 to 1:10 dilution
factor with the Newman Zone injectant, will be injected int�-wellft09aanol I,W-20�on'e
3, contaminated ground water will be extracted from existing wells EW-512, IW-206, and IW-
210, and a similar mixture (which may contain potable water) will be made by adding the
Newman Zone injectant and will be injected into wei s-iV11v205aaI;W20�
The Compliance Boundary for these extraction/injection wells is established at 250 feet from
each well, or 50 feet inside the property boundary (see Figure 1). The monitoring wells for this
remediation permit are all situated outside of the areas enclosed by the Compliance Boundaries.
Monitoring will be performed in wells situated outside of the CoMgJU_ a Dpundary in wells
