FROM: Michael Rogers{v
RE: Issuance of Permit to Inject Adventus O-SOX (Permit #WI0300180)
Patterson Property, LLC
I recommend that Permit Number WI0300180 be issued to Patterson Property, LLC to inject Adventus O-SOX to remediate
groundwater (GW) contaminated with petroleum products. The site is located 8800 Monroe Road, Charlotte, Mecklenburg
County, NC 28212.
SITE DESCRIPTION: The subject site is a former lumberyard now used as a commercial storage facility (Figures 1 through
3). Evidently, there was a leak of petroleum products from former underground storage tanks. Soil excavation was
conducted to the point of meeting 21, standards. There are some residual low -levels of petroleum in the groundwater in the
areas of tanks. Due to the low levels of groundwater contamination and the location of the site, the UST section of the
DWM has granted a NFA to this site. However, to avoid having to file a Notice of Residual Petroleum with the register of
deeds in Mecklenburg County, the property owner/permittee has voluntarily initiated groundwater remediation to bring the
groundwater contamination levels down to 21, standards.
HYDROGEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION: The site is located in Charlotte Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic Province. The
contaminated surficial aquifer underlying the area of the site reportedly consists of fill overlying saprolitic material
(weathered silty clays and sand). Soil borings did not go into bedrock. Depth to GW in the surficial aquifer ranges from
approximately 20 to 25 feet BLS and flows in a generally southerly direction. Since there are only 2 wells on -site, and
groundwater remediation is going to be via passive oxygen release compounds (ORC) socks, no groundwater flow
rate/elevation information was included in the application.
EXTENT OF CONTAMINATION: The petroleum_ contamination is reportedly limited and contained on -site in the area of the
former USTs (refer to narrative in MRO Staff Report and Figure 2).
PROPOSED INJECTION: The proposed passive injection will be via 2 existing wells utilizing suspended ORC filter socks.
One set of socks will be inserted in the wells and left for approximately 6 months until the ORC is depleted. Then, the
socks will be replaced with fresh socks, and then replaced again (essentially 3 cycles). The potential impact or
displacement of the plume by the injection is low for the following reasons: (1) The injection is passive with no chemicals
injected under pressure, (2) the injectant consists only of an oxygen release compound, (3) a total of 3 socks will be
suspended into each of wells over approximately 18 months, and (4) the extent of the area of influence will be
approximately 10 feet downgradient (the nearest downgradient receptor is a small creek located approximately 500 feet).
The injection/monitoring wells are highlighted in yellow on Figure 2.
HOW IT WORKS: Adventus O-SOX is an oxygen release compound made of calcium oxyhydroxide. When placed in water,
this material will hydrate releasing oxygen and forming calcium hydroxide and water. Increasing DO in the groundwater
will stimulate aerobic biodegradation of the petroleum products (i.e., enhance the natural attenuation remediation).
MONITORING: After the socks are suspended in the wells, groundwater monitoring will be conducted quarterly for DO, pH,
and conductivity. When DO levels drop back to levels prior to initiating ORC treatment, the socks will be replaced. Then, after
one month groundwater samples will be collected and analyzed for petroleum products. If groundwater concentrations remain
above 2L standards, the cycle will be repeated. Once all compounds are remediated to below 2L standards, the wells will be
monitored quarterly for one year to confirm that 2L standards have been achieved. Per the request of the MRO, I am requesting
that ORP and calcium be added to the monitoring plan.
EPIDEMIOLOGY: The DHHS has review:; and approved the referenced injectant(s).' -
REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENTS: Each of the RO comments/recommendations are discussed below (RO's
comments/recommendations are underlined).
The Mooresville Regional Office recommended permit issuance upon adding the recommended modification to the monitoring
plan (i.e., add calcium and ORP to the monitoring plan, and emphasize that there shall be 4 quarters of sampling after the last
insertion of the ORC release socks). That recommendation is added to the permit.
Maria Schutte and Andrew Pitner of the Mooresville RO, recommends issuance of this permit.

removed, neat -cement, or bentonite grout shall be injected into the well completely
filling it from the bottom of the casing to the top.
(F) In those cases when, as a result of the injection operations, a subsurface cavity has
been created, each well shall be -abandoned in such a manner that will prevent the
movement of fluids. into or between underground sources of drinking water and in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the permit.
