The facility layout is depicted in Figure A-1. The former 1,000 gallon UST was located near the southwest corner of the garage. The area surrounding the garage and the two freight-handling areas is paved with a combination of concrete and asphalt. The site is contained by a chain-link fence. Origin of the Contamination A former used oil tank which was removed from the Site in 1992. Oil within the tank was apparently contaminated with chlorinated solvents from an unknown source. The chlorinated solvents release likely occurred before 1992. Residual concentrations of tetrachloroethene(PCE)are present in saturated source area soil and groundwater below the former used oil underground storage tank (UST).As a result of the continuing source material, PCE concentrations in groundwater have remained generally steady at levels above the North Carolina Administrative Code(NCAC) Subchapter 2L Groundwater Standards since removal of the leaking UST was conducted in 1992. Previous Remedial Actions Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) has been employed as a remediation strategy since November 1995. Historical analytical data are displayed in Figure A-2 to allow an evaluation of constituent concentration fluctuations over time. In a letter dated May 24, 2011 addressed to YRC,the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) noted that PCE concentrations in groundwater have not decreased over time and that an active remedy should be considered to expedite clean-up of groundwater impacts.

The Piedmont is characterized by igneous and metamorphic rocks that have been folded,faulted and interstratified with granite or diorite intrusions. There is little to no lateral or vertical hydraulic continuity in these igneous and metamorphic rock units. Weathering of the igneous and metamorphic rock has created a layer of clayey saprolite soil at the surface. The thickness of the saprolite soil is highly variable but tends to be thicker on ridge tops and thinner in valleys. Lithologv Two primary lithologic units were encountered at the Site. The upper unit consists of reddish brown saprolite which is underlain by granitic rock. The upper saprolitic unit is comprised of silty clay/clayey silt (50 to 100 percent)with minor amounts of fine to coarse grained quartz rich sand (0 to 50 percent). Minor granitic rock fragments(pebble to granule size)were also encountered, primarily adjacent to bedrock. Bedrock at the Site consists of granite and was encountered in the borehole for monitor well GW-7 at a depth of approximately 51 feet below land surface(ft bls). The bedrock appeared to be highly weathered from approximately 51 to 64 ft bls based on the drill cuttings which were blown out of the borehole using the air rotary drilling technique. The bedrock became more competent below approximately 64 ft bls (Geraghty& Miller 1996). Hydraulic Properties of the Aquifer System In-situ hydraulic conductivity of the saturated aquifer material has been calculated from slug-test data obtained from selected monitor wells (Geraghty& Miller 1996). The slug tests were performed using a 5-foot long cylindrical stainless steel tube to displace the water in the wells while recording the water-level response with a pressure transducer and data logger. Hydraulic conductivities were calculated using AQTESOLV software, which utilizes the Bouwer and Rice Method. The results of slug tests performed on shallow monitoring wells GW-4, GW-5, and GW-8 indicated hydraulic conductivity values of 1.13 x 10"5 centimeters per second (cm/s), 2.79 x 10"5 cm/s, and 1.65 x 10"5 cm/s, respectively. An average value for the surficial aquifer of 1.86 x 10-5 cm/s(0.053 feet per day[ft/day])was then calculated from these values. The average interstitial groundwater flow velocity for the surficial aquifer at the site was calculated at 0.0032 ft/day or 1.2 ft/year based on the average hydraulic gradient(0.012 ft/ft),the average hydraulic conductivity, and an assumed effective porosity of 20 percent(Geraghty&Miller 1996). Depth to the Water Table The elevation of the water table roughly mirrors the elevation of the land surface. The elevation of the groundwater at the site drops from approximately 922 feet above mean sea level(ft msl) at GW-4 on the western edge of the site to approximately 918 ft msl at GW-9 as it flows east. This corresponds to a depth to water of approximately 14 feet below ground surface area across the site.

Reaction of the ferrous sulfate and citric acid will result in chelated ferrous-citrate, which will ensure that iron present in solution remains in the second valence state(Fe(Il))and can react with persulfate anion in the subsurface. A target sodium persulfate concentration up to 60 g/L will be used for injection. The second solution will contain sufficient weights of ferrous sulfate and citric acid to generate concentrations of 0.5 g/L and 0.5 g/L, respectively. These concentrations were selected based on the native geology of the Site, the observed contaminant concentrations within treatment area groundwater, and are based on previous injection experience at other sites. The selected injection strengths will be confirmed as part of a pre-injection reaction study using soil and groundwater collected from the Site. When sodium persulfate mixes with water it dissociates into sodium cations and persulfate anions. The persulfate anion (oxidant) is a weak acid with a pKa value of 6.0. The solution will be mixed at the surface and then pumped into the injection wells. An MSDS for sodium persulfate is included in Appendix C.

Attachment D - Injection Rationale Goals of the Injection Project Application of an oxidant to the subsurface at the Roadway Kernersville site is intended to decrease the concentration of contaminants that are currently in the soil and groundwater adjacent to the source area. The goal of the oxidant injection is to decrease the concentration of contaminants sufficiently so that they no longer act as a source for downgradient contamination historically detected in the monitor well network at the Site. The use of oxidant injection is intended to eliminate the existing source mass to expedite the current monitored natural attenuation strategy for dilute low-level VOCs at the Site. Volume Calculations The proposed length of injection screen is 15 feet for each well. The planned injection radius is 7.5 ft from each injection well, resulting in a total fluid diameter of 15 ft. The estimated mobile porosity in the aquifer is approximately 0.15(15%). Assuming the injectant solution migrates outward from the injection well in a cylindrical shape the formula to calculate the required injectant volume in each well is the following: Volume= Screen Length (15 ft)x Tr(3.14)x Planned Radius(7.5 ft)2 x mobile porosity(0.15)x 7.48 gallons/cubic ft A calculated volume of approximately 3,000 gallons per injection well is the solution to the above equation. The total anticipated injectant volume for the three wells is 9,000 gallons. Reactions Sodium persulfate is capable of breaking down a variety of contaminants including chlorinated carbons and hydrocarbons. When sodium persulfate solid is mixed with water it dissolves and dissociates into sodium cations and persulfate anions as presented in Reaction 1: Na2S2O8 -+2Na+ +S2O8_2 (1) The persulfate anion can then go on to directly react with some compounds via direct electron transfer; however,these reactions are kinetically slow relative to other oxidation chemistries (i.e., Fenton's oxidation) (House 1962). It is more common for the persulfate to be activated using a catalyst, in this case ferrous iron, which transforms the persulfate into sulfate radicals as shown in Reaction 2: S208-2 +Fe+2 Fe+3 +SO4-2 +SO4* (2) Following reaction with persulfate,the Fe(li) present in the subsurface will be oxidized to ferric iron (Fe(III))and will precipitate within the native Site geochemistry at a pH above 4 SU. The degradation of many types of contaminants present at the Site by either direct electron transfer or reaction with free radicals has been well established. The degradation pathway of tetrachloroethene, the main contaminant at the site, is discussed below. Degradation of chloroethenes typically follows a similar path as reductive dechlorination, namely tetrachloroethene(PCE)—>trichloroethene (TCE)--,cis-and trans-1,2-dichloroethene(DCE)—,vinyl chloride (VC)—*chloride. Waldemer et al. (2007)found that near complete degradation of chloroethenes to chloride is possible, therefore, chloride should be the primary breakdown product of chloroethenes at the site. The study also noted that trace production of other chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds is possible when treating TCE, due to the short-term reactions of other radical species (e.g.,chloride radical, hydroxyl radical)generated during the oxidation approach which can interact with small chained organic molecules. While the formation of organic byproducts has been previously reported,the generation of these constituents is transient in nature. Their presence is a direct result of ongoing oxidation reactions and is linked to available oxidant within the subsurface. As complete reaction with available oxidant continues, further destruction of any radical intermediates occurs. Modeling or Testing to Investigate Injectant's Potential to Change in the Subsurface Past experience with subsurface application of persulfate with ferrous sulfate activation has provided data on"typical"concentrations of oxidant and base that are used for successful treatment of contaminants at similar sites. These values were used as starting points to begin calculating the optimum volumes and concentrations of each injected solution and the predicted changes that would occur in the subsurface. This past experience provides the baseline for initial injections. Two performance monitoring wells (GW-13 and GW-14)will be installed in the vicinity of the injection wells will be used to gauge treatment resulting from injection events. These monitoring wells will be constructed of 2-inch poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and installed in the locations depicted in Figure D-1. These monitor wells will be installed to monitor the most shallow groundwater zone. The monitor wells will have a 15 foot screen length that will be set from 14 to 29 feet below land surface. Existing monitoring well GW-3 will serve as a third performance monitoring well during injection events. During injection, grab groundwater samples will be collected for persulfate, sulfate, and iron (total and dissolved)to confirm sufficient distribution of the injected reagent and ensure that breakthrough is achieved at the performance monitoring wells. Dose response observations collected during the preliminary injection event will also be used to optimize the target injection volumes should subsequent injection events be required. Subsequent groundwater sampling will be conducted in these wells to confirm constituent concentrations have decreased in the source area. References Block, P.A.

The purpose of the injection wells will be to deliver a chemical oxidant(sodium persulfate)to the subsurface for the treatment of PCE and other VOCs in soil and groundwater in a controlled manner. The injection wells will be constructed of 2 inch stainless steel casing and will be screened from depths of 14 to 29 feet below land surface(ft bls). A sand pack will be deposited within the bore hole around the well casing from termination depth to two feet above the screened interval. Neat Portland cement will be added from the top of the sand to approximately 6 inches below ground surface. The well will be protected within a steel manhole secured in a 2-foot by 2-foot concrete pad. ARCADIS will also supervise installation of two additional performance monitoring wells in the vicinity of the injection wells to use as monitoring points to gauge treatment resulting from the injection events. The monitoring wells will be constructed similar to the injection wells, but will consist of PVC casing rather than stainless steel.All wells will be developed after installation to remove sediments and improve performance of the wells. Existing well GW-3 will serve as a third performance monitoring well during injection events. Soil cuttings, purge water, and decontamination water generated during drilling will be placed into 55- gallon drums and staged onsite pending analysis and disposal. One composite sample of the soil cuttings will be submitted for laboratory analysis of Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure(TCLP)VOCs, TCLP Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and TCLP Metals. One sample of purge water and one sample of decontamination water will be used to properly characterize the water for disposal. Operation Procedures Prior to an injection event, Solution A will be mixed with water in temporary mixing tanks. Ferrous sulfate and citric acid will then be mixed in a separate tank (Solution B)and added to the sodium persulfate solution immediately prior to injection. The persulfate and ferrous sulfate mixture will be pumped into each of the injection wells. During each injection event, approximately 9,000 gallons of 5.85 (wt.)% (60 g/L)persulfate solution mixed will be delivered to the impacted soil zones. Each injection well will receive 3,000 gallons of injectant. During injection, grab groundwater samples will be collected from wells GW-3, GW-13, and GW-14 for persulfate, sulfate, and iron (total and dissolved)to confirm sufficient distribution of the injected reagent. Injection Schedule The injection wells will be installed within two months of obtaining the UIC permit. The injection event will be conducted within one month of the well installations and subsequent groundwater monitoring will conclude within four months of the injection. The remedial performance report will be submitted to NCDENR within five months of the injection event. The remedial phase will therefore be completed within one year of approval to proceed. The existing semi-annual groundwater monitoring program will continue during this time. A second injection event will be scheduled within two years of the initial injection event if contaminant concentrations do not decrease significantly in subsequent monitoring events. We S Attachment F— Monitoring Plan A list of the existing wells is provided in Table G-1 (Attachment G). The network covers both the shallow soil aquifer as well as the deeper bedrock aquifer. This monitoring network will be used to evaluate for the migration of injection fluids outside the injection zone, the presence of secondary contaminants or reaction end-products (e.g., chloride)from the degradation of target contaminants and other parameters that can indicate the progress of the intended reactions. Two performance monitoring wells, GW-13 and GW-14, will be installed in the vicinity of the injection wells as depicted in Figure D-1; they will be used to gauge treatment resulting from injection events. These monitor wells will be installed to monitor the most shallow groundwater zone. Existing monitoring well GW-3 will serve as a third performance monitoring well during injection events. During injection, grab groundwater samples will be collected from performance monitoring wells for persulfate, sulfate, and iron (total and dissolved)to confirm that sufficient breakthrough is achieved. Performance monitoring wells (GW-3, GW-13, and GW-14)will also be sampled during semi-annual sampling events. Groundwater samples will be collected from GW-13, GW-14, and GW-3 as well as injection wells for VOC analysis(USEPA Method 8260)before injection, six weeks after injection, and twelve weeks after injection during a semi-annual sampling event. In addition to VOC analysis, samples will also be collected for TOC, sulfate, total and dissolved iron and manganese, and chloride. Following injection, samples will also be collected for persulfate analysis via field test kits. This monitoring program will allow evaluation of the baseline groundwater conditions relative to concentrations observed following the injection event, ultimately allowing for evaluation of treatment performance. During collection of the groundwater samples, a YSI 556 with a flow through cell will be used to monitor pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen and conductivity. These measurements can provide indirect data regarding the migration of the applied oxidant and the degradation of the contaminants. The existing semi-annual groundwater monitoring program will continue to evaluate groundwater conditions within the Site-wide monitoring network to confirm treatment performance beyond the injection area. Should additional persulfate injections be required,they will be performed within two years of the initial injection. Attachment G —Well Data During a receptor survey in November,2007 no known water supply wells were discovered within 1,500 feet of the site. The entire area,including the Roadway Facility is used predominantly for freight trucking. Information regarding the water supply for the area surrounding the site was obtained from Mr. Nick Seeba of the City of Winston Salem Public Utilities.During a telephone interview on November 12, 2007,Mr. Seeba indicated the entire area has accessible public water. Mr. Seeba further indicated that an 8-inch or 12-inch diameter water main is present running along NC Highway 66. Other water mains that are connected to this line include Indeneer Drive(6-inch main)and Park Center Drive(8-inch main)west of NC Highway 66 and also Plaza South Drive(8-inch main)and Brookford Road(6-inch main),both located south of the site. Michael Merrell of the Forsyth County Department of Public Health Division of Environmental Health was contacted to determine if there was any record of wells within 1,500 feet of the site. There are no wells within 1,500 feet of the site in the Forsyth County record. Forsyth County has kept records of construction and abandonment of wells since 1988. Mr.Merrell reported from personal knowledge that there are two bored wells without record in the vacant property, 1200 Highway 66 South,directly across from the site. He also mentioned that at the Ford Dealership, 1330 Highway 66 South, showed evidence of a well on a septic tank permit. The dealership was contacted February 14,2012;they had no knowledge of any wells on site. By checking with Winston Salem Public Utilities and Forsyth County Department of Health,one can safely conclude that the entire area surrounding the site has access to public water and that there is no record of wells used for drinking water in the area. The only known wells within the vicinity of the former used oil UST are therefore the existing monitoring wells(GW-1 through GW-12)surrounding the impacted plume.

RO-APS Reviewer: Date: FORM: APSARR 07/06 Page 1 of 1 August 7, 2008 MEMO To Injectant Health Risk Evaluation File From Qu Qi Y gym,. k Subject: Use Sodium Persulfate and Hydrogen Peroxide to remediate Soil and Groundwater Contaminated with Chlorinated Solvents Sodium persulfate was first used at Duracell site(WI0400045)in 2003. Based on a letter sent to Mr. Thomas Wilson by Evan Kane,dated September. 19,2003, the information on the proposed injectants—sodium persulfate and H2O2 to be used at Duracell/Gillette Site was reviewed by Dr. Luanne Williams and she provided a health risk evaluation on the products in a memo dated September 2, 2003. In the Memo she did not mention that the products she evaluated were sodium persulfate and H2O2. But site name and address(Duracell site).were in the subject line;based upon the information in the file, sodium persulfate and H2O2 were the only injectants to be used. Therefore, this September 2, 2003 Memo from Dr.Williams must be for the injectants sodium persulfate and H2O2. I have sent a request to the Epidemiology Section of the Division of Public Health for a clarification on the matter. But I am confident that this evaluation is for sodium persulfate. Evan Kane From: Luanne Williams[Luanne.Wiiliams@ncmail,netj Sent: Monday,October 06,2003 10:10 AM To: even kane Subject: use of hydrogen peroxide 1111 Luanne.WiIliams.vcf I am responding to your request regarding clarification on the hazards associated with the injection of hydrogen peroxide for soil and groundwater remediation. As mentioned in previous product reviews, there is a potential explosion hazard associated with the injection of hydrogen peroxide into contaminated soil and groundwater. In order to reduce the explosion hazard risk, it Is recommended to keep the hydrogen peroxide concentrations at a minimum. The literature suggests that the explosion hazard increases greatly as the hydrogen peroxide concentrations approach 30%. Hydrogen peroxide can be safely used by taking necessary precautions mentioned in the product reviews.

Based upon my review of the information submitted,I offer the following health risk evaluation: 1. Some effects reported to be associated with exposure to the proposed chemicals are as follows: • .Exposure can cause severe irritation and burning of skin, eyes, nose and throat • (Meditext—Medical Management by Micromedex TOMEs Plus System CD- ROM Database,Volume 57,2003;New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services Hazardous Substance Fact Sheet TOMEs Plus System CD- ROM Database,Volume 57,2003). • Inhalation exposure can cause coughing,wheezing, and/or shortness of breath including asthma-like allergy.Future exposure can cause asthma attacks with shortness of breath,wheezing, cough,and/or chest tightness (New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services Hazardous Substance Fact Sheet TOMEs Plus System CD-ROM Database,Volume 57,2003). • Inhalation exposure can cause severe respiratory irritation and inflammation leading to shock,coma and seizures(New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services Hazardous Substance Fact Sheet TOMEs Plus System CD- ROM Database,Volume 57,2003). ter Location:2728 Capital Boulevard•Parker Lincoln Building•Raleigh,INC.27604 An Equal Opportunity Employer 2. Chemicals proposed for use may ignite combustibles such as wood,paper,oil, etc).The chemicals proposed for use must be stored separately from hydrazine and organic monomers since violent reactions can occur. The chemicals proposed for use are not compatible with reducing agents;powdered metals;strong bases such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; alcohols; and hydrocarbon fuels. Specifically,acetone, a soil contaminant at the injection site,readily forms explosive peroxides with one of the chemicals being proposed for use. Injection of the proposed chemicals into the soil contaminated area is likely to result in an explosion. Based on the information submitted, the nearest property to the injection area that is not owned and controlled by Duracell is approximately 350 feet west of the injection area. Measures should be taken to prevent fires and explosions from occurring to protect workers and nearby community. A safety plan should be developed in case there is a fire or an explosion. The addition of a metal as being proposed can act as a catalyst which can increase the risk of an explosion during decomposition (Hazardous Substances Data Bank TOMEs Plus System CD-ROM Database, Volume 57,2003). 3. Store in tightly closed containers in a coot,well-ventilated area away from moist air and combustibles. Containers may explode when heated.Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. Chemicals proposed for use heat up spontaneously when decomposing and could start fires. (New Jersey Depaitrtient of Health and Senior Services Hazardous Substance Fact Sheet TOMEs Plus System CD-ROM Database,Volume 57,2003;Hazardous Substances Data Bank TOMEs Plus System CD-ROM Database,Volume 57,2003). 4. If the products are released into the environment in a way that could result in a suspension of fine solid or liquid particles(e.g.,grinding,blending,vigorous shaking or mixing),then it is imperative that proper personal protective equipment be used. The application process should be reviewed by an industrial hygienist to(1)ensure that the injection process is done in a safe manner, and(2) the most appropriate personal protective equipment is used. 5. Persons working with this product should at least wear goggles or a face shield, gloves,and protective clothing. Face and body protection should be used for anticipated splashes or sprays. Again,consult with an industrial hygienist to ensure proper protection. 6. Eating,drinking, smoking,handling contact lenses, and applying cosmetics should never be permitted in the application area during or immediately following application. 7. Safety controls should be in place to ensure that the check valve and the pressure delivery systems are working properly. 2 $. The Material Safety Data Sheets should be followed to prevent adverse reactions and injuries. 9. Access to the area of application should be limited to the workers applying the product. In order to minimize exposure to unprotected individuals,measures should be taken to prevent access to the area of application. 10. According to the information submitted,there are no wells located on the Duracell site used for drinking, industrial processes, cooking, or agriculture. The nearest off-site well is approximately 1,500 feet north of the injection area. This well is reportedly owned by J&S Motors and is the source of plumbed water. The direction of groundwater flow from the injection area is also predicted to the north. The wells are located close to the injection area and are north of the injection area which is where groundwater flows. Therefore, efforts should be made to prevent contamination of this existing well or future wells that may be located near the application area. 11. According to the information submitted, the nearest surface water drainage is an unnamed intermittent tributary of Fritz Branch that begins approximately 400 feet north of the injection area. The nearest blue line stream is Fritz Branch,which begins approximately 750 feet north of the injection area. The nearest downstream waterbody is Abbotts Creek which runs into High Rock Lake. The surface water bodies are located close to the injection area and are north of the injection area which is where groundwater flows. Therefore, efforts should be made to prevent contamination of the nearby surface waterbodies. In summary,there are serious human health concerns regarding the use of the chemicals proposed. Safeguards should be taken to prevent fires and explosions from occurring.

There does not appear to be any drinking water wells in use within 1500 feet of this site. As a result, after reviewing the application, there should not be any adverse effects from the use of this product at this site. However, since there was no data that indicated how effective this product would be in reducing tetrachloroethylene(PCE) levels at any contaminated groundwater site, before this product is utilized at any other sites in North Carolina in the future, I would recommend that groundwater testing be done at the Roadway-Kernersville site. This testing would be done to determine the effectiveness of lowering PCE levels as well as any other contamination that may result due to the use of this citric acid product for purposes of chemical degradation in the future.

Current or future use of site with site contact person, address, and phone number. The facility currently functions as a freight terminal and includes three buildings. One of the buildings serves as the garage, and the other two buildings serve as freight handling and distribution loading docks. The former 1,000-gallon UST was located near the southwest corner of the garage. The area surrounding the garage and the two freight-handling areas is paved with a combination of concrete and asphalt. The site is contained by a chain-link fence.

Ryan Gerber, PE ARCADIS G&M of North Carolina 801 Corporate Center Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27607 919-415-2265 4. Distance and likelihood of impact to public or private wells used for drinking, industrial processes, cooling, agriculture, etc. Is area served by public water supply? Verification must be provided by the appropriate Regional Office of the Public Water Supply Section. The Winston Salem/Forsyth County water system obtains water from two intakes located on the Yadkin River and also from an intake located on Salem Lake. The nearest intake,which is located at Salem Lake is approximately 5.5 miles west of the site. During a telephone interview on November 12,2007, Nick Seeba of the City of Winston Salem Public Utilities indicated the entire area surrounding the Roadway facility has access to public water supply. During a receptor survey in November,2007 no known water supply wells were discovered within 1,500 feet of the site. Michael Merrell of the Forsyth County Department of Public Health Division of Environmental Health was contacted February 10, 2012 to determine if there was any record of wells within 1,500 feet of Page: 2/6 G:1ENVIRoadvray1KernersvillelPermits1Gitnc Acid Risk Assessment1Risk Assessment Evaluation Final.doc ARCADIS UIC Program DWQ—Aquifer Protection Section April 5, 2012 the site. There are no wells within 1,500 feet of the site in the Forsyth County record. Forsyth County has kept records of construction and abandonment of wells since 1988. Mr. Merrell reported from personal knowledge that there are two bored wells without record in the vacant property, 1200 Highway 66 South, directly across from the site. He also mentioned that at the Ford dealership, 1330 Highway 66 South, showed evidence of a well on a septic tank permit. The dealership was contacted February 14, 2012; they had no knowledge of any wells on site. Based upon these results, it is not likely that the injections will have an impact to wells within the area. 5. General description of the contaminants if present in the soil and/or groundwater at the site. A former used oil tank which was contaminated with chlorinated solvents was removed in 1992. The PCE release likely occurred before 1992. Residual concentrations of tetrachloroethene(PCE) are present in saturated source area soil and groundwater below a former used oil underground storage tank(UST).As a result of the continuing source material, PCE concentrations in groundwater have remained generally steady at levels above the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) Subchapter 2L Groundwater Standards since removal of the leaking UST was conducted in 1992. 6. Name, approximate distance, and likelihood of impact to the nearest body of surface water to the site. GIS maps for areas adjacent to the Roadway—Kernersville facility revealed the presence of surface water bodies approximately 2,250 feet east injection location. This stream is identified as the West Fork Deep River. An ephemeral storm water drainage ditch is located approximately 1,000 feet west of the site. The likelihood of impact is very low as the drainage ditch is upgradient of groundwater flow. In addition, based on the limited migration of PCE over the historical monitoring period (17 years) and the current position of PCE impacts entirely on-site, the likelihood of injected reagent migration outside of the immediate injection area is very low. As the iron-citrate complex will react with the co-delivered persulfate anion, complete destruction is anticipated immediately or within weeks of delivery. In addition, citric acid is biodegradable and will be consumed via the native microorganisms as the injection solution mixes with and interacts with the native hydrogeology. Due to both the limited migration via advective groundwater flow and Page: G:lENVARoadwaylKernersvillelPermitslCitric Acid Risk Assessment\Risk Assessment Evaluation Final,doc 3/6 ARCADIS UIC Program DWQ-Aquifer Protection Section April 5, 2012 to its short longevity, citric acid injection poses little risk of impact to nearby surface water bodies. 7. Approximate distance to nearest residence(s)and workplace. The nearest workplace is located approximately 300 feet southwest(sidegradient) of the injection points. Melissa Thompson Agency Inc-Nationwide Insurance 1261 Highway 66 S Kernersville, NC 27284 The nearest residence is a mobile home park located approximately 2000 ft southwest of injection points. The approximate address of the mobile home park is 1308 Shields Rd Kernersville, NC 27284 Required Product/Process-Specific Information 1.

Approximate concentration of each ingredient following release into groundwater or soil. 0.5 g/L 4. Approximate distance and direction of travel for product in groundwater, the groundwater concentration of each ingredient at this distance, and distance from this point to the nearest drinking water source (that is currently used for drinking purposes). These should be reasonably accurate estimates based on the best available information and calculations (modeling, if necessary) regarding aquifer characteristics and flowpaths at the site; where uncertainty exists in critical aquifer parameters (e.g. effective porosity), Page: 4/6 G:IENVIRoadwaylKernersvillelPermitslCilric Acid Risk AssessmentiRisk Assessment Evaluation Final.doc • ARCADIS UIC Program DWQ—Aquifer Protection Section April 5, 2012 conservative assumptions should be made in estimating these values so that worst-case predictions of travel distances are made. Approximate distance and direction of travel for citric acid in water: Groundwater flow at the injection wells is toward the southeast. Based on the estimated hydraulic conductivity (K)for the targeted geology (1.86 x 10-5 cm/s) and the observed groundwater gradient across the site(0.012 foot/foot), and an effective porosity of 20%, the estimated groundwater velocity is 1.17 feet per year. Based on the estimated groundwater velocity and a conservative citric acid residence time of one month (30 days), the anticipated travel time of the citric acid solution is 0.096 feet beyond the target radius of injection (7.5 feet). There are no known wells used for drinking purposes within 1,500 feet of the Site. The nearest intake for the Winston Salem/Forsyth County public water supply is located at Salem Lake which is approximately 5.5 miles west of the site. This location is upgradient of the flow of water on the Site. 5. Approximate groundwater concentration of each ingredient after pumping or recovery(if applicable). Not applicable. 6. If the product is expected to discharge to a nearby surface water, approximate concentrations of product in the water. As detailed above, citric acid is not anticipated to discharge to surface water bodies within the site vicinity. 7. Documentation from authoritative technical references of specific degradation products expected. (Provide a brief summary of the referenced material as well as a copy of the referenced material.) The proposed injection application includes the mixing of citric acid with ferrous sulfate(FeSO4)prior to co-delivery with sodium persulfate. Reaction of ferrous iron with citric acid will result in the formation of a tridentate iron complex(Francis, 1992). Once injected, reaction of the ferrous-citrate complex will result in conversion to a tridentate ferric-citrate complex via oxidation and hydrolysis. The ferric-citrate further hydrolyzes to a bidentate complex[Fe(OH)2-citrate]Z-, which is both nontoxic and readily biodegradable (Francis, 1992). Under the oxic conditions native to the site, rapid conversion of ferrous iron to the ferric form and subsequent precipitation is anticipated above a pH of 4. Therefore, oxidation of the ferrous- citrate compound will result in conversion to inert natural byproducts following Page: 5/6 G:1EN ARoadwaylKemersvillelPermits\Citric Acid Risk AssessmentlRisk Assessment Evaluation Final.doc Jirt'iD'' UIC Program DWQ—Aquifer Protection Section April 5, 2012 reaction with the oxidant and during interaction with the native hydrogeology at the site. Further, citric acid may be metabolized in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, with both reactions terminating in carbon dioxide (Joshi-Tope, 1989). 8.

Bidentate Fe(HI)-, Ni-, and Zn-citrate complexes were readily biodegraded,but the tridentate Cd-and Cu-citrate,and U-citrate complexes were not.The biodegradation of Ni-and Zn-citrate commenced after an initial lag period;the former showed only partial (70%)degradation, whereas the latter was completely degraded. Uptake studies with 14C-labeled citric acid and metal-citrate complexes showed that cells grown in medium containing citric acid transported free citric acid at the rate of 28 nmol min-1 and Fe(HI)-citrate at the rate of 12.6 nmol min-1 but not Cd-, Cu-, Ni-, U-, and Zn-citrate complexes.However,cells grown in medium containing Ni-or Zn-citrate transported both Ni-and Zn-citrate, suggesting the involvement of a common,inducible transport factor.Cell extracts degraded Fe(III)-,Ni-,U-, and Zn-citrate complexes in the following order: citric acid = Fe(HI)-citrate > Ni-citrate = Zn-citrate > U-citrate.The cell extract did not degrade Cd-or Cu-citrate complexes.These results show that the biodeg- radation of the U-citrate complex was limited by the lack of transport inside the cell and that the tridentate o Cd-and Cu-citrate complexes were neither transported inside the cell nor metabolized by the bacterium. 0 Citric acid is a multidentate ligand and forms stable corn- U-, and Zn-citrate complexes by P.fluorescens to provide an co plexes with various metal ions (19).
