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. Please contact Shristi Shrestha at 919-807-
6406 or Debra Watts at 919-807-6338 if you have any questions.

Shristi,
I reviewed the ARO's files and BIMS event entries related to injection permit WI0100089. 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. The submittal of the noted report satisfies the re #ize = s of the._,permrt'�`and-the

As a side note, it appears that you have inadvertently entered an injection event of beverage remediation product under
WI0100089 V2. I recommend you remove this event from this permit.
I will look into permits WI0100091 and WI0100126 and let you know what I find.

There are several other IN -Situ permits that have no Final project evaluation report's. The ones that I have done initial
reviews are WI0100089, WI0100091 and WI0100126. I sent emails for all these permits . For the first 2 the email

Good afternoon,
We are in the process of closing our expired permit and it looks like Tyco Electronics Corporation site with the
permit number WI0100089 is one of them. Our records show that the permit expired 05/31/2012. While going
through our records I didn't find final project evaluation report. If you have a digital copy of the FPE report you can
send by email too. If you want to rescind the permit I would need a permit rescission request from the owner which
can be in the form of an email too.
Please contact me at the number below if you have any questions or concerns regarding this. Thank you for your
cooperation.

David and Mike,
David, the attached work plan is addressed to you since you are the project manager assigned to this Site.
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 Work Plan provides a
narrative description of the proposed work.
We are tentatively scheduled to perform the injections in mid -January 2018, pending approval of the work plan.
Please let us know if you have questions.

Chuck

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.
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.

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.
