PERMIT ISSUANCE MEMO
TO: Debra Watts
THROUGH: Thomas Slusseras
FROM: John McCray
RE: Permit To Inject sodium persulfate, and hydrogen peroxide across the site and RegenOx, ORC-
Advanced, and Micro-Bac M-1000H and Triphasic 12
Plantation Pipe Line Poplar Tent Road Site \�A-e con+pW'4 � s�Pd
a
I recommend that Permit Number WI0300153 be issued to Plantation Pipe Line Company to injecto-o""n to
remediate groundwater contaminated with hydrocarbons.
SITE DESCRIPTION Turbine fuel was released to the groundwater initially in 1976 through a leak in the pipe line.
The pipe line was cleaned and deactivated in 1977. Prior remedial activity at the facility recovered 1,050 gallons of
product. Further impacted soils were uncovered in 2007 during construction of a road crossing the former pipeline at
a location of 100 feet to the northeast (down -gradient) of the 1976 release location. During inspection and
maintenance of pipelines at the location, 200 tons of contaminated soil was removed, four large diameter recovery
wells were installed (May 2009), and fourteen separate Aggressive Fluid Vapor Recovery events have been
conducted. Contamination is located within the groundwater of the surficial aquifer, extending into the upper portion
of weathered bedrock. Groundwater flows across the site to the north-east.
HYDROGEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION The site is located within the inner Piedmont Physiographic Province and is
underlain primarily by saprolitic sand and silt derived from underlying bedrock. Within the constraints of the site, the
surficial aquifer is contained within the saprolite and extends down into the fractures of the bedrock. Depth to
groundwater ranges from 24 feet below ground surface (bgs) near the release location to 3 feet bgs adjacent to the
stream, and it flows to the northeast under a hydraulic gradient of .02 ft/ft through the saprolite aquifer that has an
average hydraulic conductivity of approximately 10.48 ft/day. The average velocity for groundwater under these
conditions is approximately 1.1 ft/day.
EXTENT OF CONTAMINATION Contaminant distribution of hydrocarbons for concentrations above the
NCGWQS is located within the surficial aquifer, based on the most recent sampling event, and has two components.
The main component is roughly elliptical in distribution, having a long axis of —335 ft. and an —125 ft. long short axis
(Figure 4-3), while the smaller disseminated zone occurs in the deeper, weathered bedrock zone, is ellipital in shape,
consists of Benzene and Naphthalene, and has a long axis of —135ft and a short axis of —56 ft (Figures 4-2 and 4-5).
The large contaminant plume extends to the northeast from a point near Edgepine Lane, and the smaller, deeper
plume, represents an extension of the main plume into the weathered bedrock and occurs in the vicinity of the
unnamed stream. The plume extends to an overall depth of —60 ft. below ground surface in the vicinity of monitoring
well MW-8.
PROPOSED INJECTION The applicant proposes an injection of sodium persulfate, and hydrogen peroxide
across the site and pilot test injections of RegenOx, ORC-Advanced, and Micro-Bac M-1000H and Triphasic 12
through a series of four injection events through V Direct Push Points per event. The total volume of injectant
r �" comprises —19.7 percent of the contaminated aquifeL
HOW IT WORKS The main remedial activity of the sodium persulfate and Hydrogen Peroxide solution as well
as RegenOx is through direct oxidation of contaminants. The ORC-Advanced and Micro-Bac solutions remediate
contaminants through enhanced biodegradation.
MONITORING All monitoring wells, monitoring event type, and parameters analyzed are listed in table form
in Attachment F. T=hir"ne-(34)existing-mar tring-wells-loea d-s the site�wiii' be sampled for a baseline
monitoring event. Injection perfomance monitoring for the events will be sampled daily during the injection events
and have differing wells based on which injection regime is being monitored, 6ighg8).z xisting_m-onitoringwells
located at the site will be used to monitor the persulfate injections, three.-3)_existing monitonng--wellslocatedbat the
site will be used to monitor the persulfate injections facilitated by the PrimaWave Technology, four- 4) existing
monitoring wells located at the site will be used to monitor the RegenOx injections, six(---existing=m-onitoringwells
located at the site will be used to monitor the ORC-A/Micro-Bac injections. The consultant has proposed semi-annual
post-inj ection event monitoring utilizing lh -seve (3 )zxfsting munitoring:w lls, however, the frequency will need
to be changed to quarterly in order to comply with 15A NCAC 2C .0213(f)(2)(D). Parameters for post injection
`monitoring also need to be modified to include sulfate and sodium for all wells, alkalinity for those wells associated
with monitoring the RegenOx pilot test area, and Total Organic Carbon and biological oxygen demand (BOD) for
those wells associated with the ORC-A/Micro-Bac pilot test area. Monitoring will continue for three years
(Attachment F).
EPIDEMIOLOGY On April 2, 2002, the DHHS' Epidemiology Branch provided comments on the use of
hydrogen peroxide for the oxidation of petroleum groundwater contaminants. Dr. Luanne K. Williams did not present
any information that would preclude the use of these products for injection. On September 2, 2003, the DHHS'
Epidemiology Branch provided comments on the use of sodium persulfate for the oxidation of petroleum groundwater
contaminants. Dr. Luanne K. Williams did not present any information that would preclude the use of these products
for injection. On September 5, 2007, the DHHS' Epidemiology Branch provided comments on the use of RegenOx
to enhance bioremediation of petroleum groundwater contaminants. Dr. Luanne K. Williams did not present any
information that would preclude the use of these products for injection. On August 8, 2005, the DHHS'
Epidemiology Branch provided comments on the use of ORC-Advanced to enhance bioremediation of petroleum
groundwater contaminants. Dr. Luanne K. Williams did not present any information that would preclude the use of
these products for injection. On October 11, 2004, the DHHS' Epidemiology Branch provided comments on the use
of Micro-Bac biological and non -biological agents to enhance bioremediation of petroleum groundwater
contaminants. Dr. Luanne K. Williams did not present any information that would preclude the use of these products
for injection. A health risk analysis for each injectant and worker safety precautions, which are in Part X of the
attached permit.
REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENTS Maria Schulte of the Mooresville Regional Office recommended issuance of this
permit upon satisfactory response to required updates and modifications to the application.
