REGAN Secretary LINDA CULPEPPER Interim Director On March 14, 2012, the Water Quality Regional Operations Section (Former Aquifer Protection Section) issued a 5I groundwater remediation permit to the above for the remediation of contaminated groundwater located at the 1396 Charlotte Highway, Fairview, Buncombe County, NC 28730. Expiration date for the permit is May 31, 2012. A review of the file indicates the Final Project Evaluation (FPE) has been received, per permit conditions on February 28, 2012. Therefore, this completes the monitoring and compliance reporting requirements of your permit. Please be advised this permit is expired and no further injection activities are permitted. Any future injection activities must be conducted per the requirements of 15A NCAC 2C .0225 (Revised May 1, 2012). You must submit either (1) a Notification of Intent to Install groundwater remediation wells, or (2) an Application for Permit to Construct Wells for Injection (whichever is applicable). Please reference permit number WI0100089 in any future correspondence for this site. Operating an injection well without a valid permit could result in a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.

The referenced permit was issued 6/21/2010. Sodium permanganate was injected in September 2010. The permittee submitted Sodium Permanganate Injection Pilot Test Report dated February 28, 2011, summarizing the September 2010 injection and permit required monitoring data. A BIMS event was entered on 2/28/2011 acknowledging receipt of this report under event type "Additional Information Received". The receipt of this report should have been noted as event "Compliance Schedule Met", as the report served as the Final Project Evaluation. WI0100089 was renewed 3/14/2012 as a portion of the sodium permanganate injected in September 2010 remained with injection well RW-07 and the permittee was in the process of determining how to proceed. A permit modification request, dated June, 26, 2012, was received in ARO, which requested approval to re -inject recovered sodium permanganate from RW-07 into MW-39. This event should have been entered as an event in BIMS, but apparently was not. It was determined that the re -injection was not allowed under an in -situ injection permit so non -discharge groundwater remediation permit WQ0036156 was issued 12/4/2012 for the proposed injection of recovered sodium No additional injections beyond those that occurred in September 2010, and summarized in the February 28, 202 report occurred under WI0100089.

Mike, since you are the Program Manager for the NCDEQ, Underground Injection Control Program, I have included you on this email to serve as notification of our intent to perform injections using direct push to deliver the aquifer amendments. The required Notification of Intent to Construct or Operate Injection Wells (NOI) is provided as Attachment 1 to the work plan. The work plan is for a sodium permanganate injection pilot test at the TE Connectivity site located in Fairview, North Carolina. This pilot test is being performed to further evaluate the technical feasibility of NaMn04 injections in order to develop a full-scale remedial plan for the Site. The injection wells that will be utilized for this test encompass an area that is less than 10,000 square feet which is less than 5 percent of the land surface occupied by the known extent of groundwater contamination. Therefore, the pilot test is a small-scale injection pilot test and is permitted by rule according to Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 02C .0200.

This is a renewal of an existing permit which was issued on June 21, 2010, allowing 1,000 gallons of sodium permanganate solution to be introduced into a single recovery well. When the injection was performed, the results suggested a poor hydraulic connection between the injection well and the surrounding aquifer formation. The existing permit expires on May 31, 2012, and the Permittee has been in contact with the Asheville Regional Office regarding the best course of action to take regarding continued permit coverage. The Asheville Regional Office informed the Permittee that the permit needed to be renewed to allow sufficient time for the situation to be assessed and the injection well to be re -developed. The current plan is to pump out the unspent injectant and agitate the water column within the well.

Jan:2010 AP/UIC-6 INFORMATION FROM ORIGINAL PERM -IT APPLICATION DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY AQUIFER PROTECTION SECTION June 10, 2010 PERMIT ISSUANCE MEMO TO: Debra Watts �S FROM: Thomas Slusser+ RE: Permit To Inject Sodium Permanganate Tyco Electronics Corp., Fairview, Buncombe County I recommend that Permit Number WI0100089 be issued to Tyco Electronics Corporation to inject Sodium Permanganate to remediate groundwater contaminated with chlorinated solvents. SITE DESCRIPTION The site is an electronics assembly plant that used to manufacture electronic switches. Environmental assessment activities beginning in the early 1990s have identified the highest concentrations of chlorinated solvents near a former solvent disposal area located in the northwest portion of the facility. HYDROGEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION 'fhe facility is located in the Blue Ridge Physiographic Province near the Brevard Fault Zone. Site bedrock consists of mica schist and gneiss, which occurs at 60' -below the proposed injection well. Site soils consist of silty clayey sands and sandy silts with clay. Groundwater occurs at approximately 31' below land surface and flows southeast toward Cane Creek at a rate of approximately 1ft/day. . EXTENT OF CONTAMINATION The contaminant plume extends more than 1200'x1200' and extends down into the bedrock. The injection zone is just a small portion of this and is intended to compliment the existing pump and treat system. PROPOSED INJECTION Approximately 1000 gallons of sodium permanganate will be injected during one injection event via one existing recovery well, RW-7, that is screened from 30'-50' below land surface. The injection volume represents approximately 10% of the injection zone pore volume, based on an injection radius of influence of 20 feet. HOW IT WORKS Sodium permanganate is a chemical oxidant that destroys contaminants via generation of oxygen and permanganate radicals, which are strong, short-lived oxidizing agents. MONITORING The proposed monitoring plan is sufficient and will be followed. EPIDEMIOLOGY On June 11, 1999, the DHHS' Epidemiology Branch provided comments on sodium permanganate for groundwater remediation. Dr. Luanne 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 Brett Laverty and Landon Davidson of the Asheville Regional Office recommend issuance of this permit.
