'� Please find the attached memo from Michael Rogers January 13, 2011 for details on site description, Hydrogeologic description and event of contamination. s 3 PROPOSED INJECTION: It is proposed to use wells 1W-1, IW-3, 1W-4, IW-6, RWS-1, RW-3 and RW-5 wells to inject 840 gals of Ivey -Sol into each well for a total of 5,880 gals. The solution will be gravity fed into each well to a depth of ranging from 5 to 30 ft. bgs (refer to monitoring well construction details listed on page 1). The radius of influence of each well is given approximately as 20 ft. (refer to Attachment 4: Injection Procedure). HOW IT WORKS: The goal of surfactant Ivey -Sol injection is to help in desorption of target contamination from soil and groundwater such that it can be extracted easily. MONITORING: The details of the monitoring plan are listed in attachment 7. A baseline groundwater monitoring sampling ,�will be done before injection. Following that a quarterly sampling will be conducted. Up gradient monitoring well will be MW-4; source area monitoring and recovery wells are MW-5, MWd-16, MWD-17, MW-53, RW-3 and RW-5. Downgradient wells are MW-7, RWS-1%RW-4. y �-� c `.',SL.. � �.+Z r - cr _ .. rccr 4 EPIDEMIOLOGY: The DHHS has approve the injectant(s). REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENTS: Each of the RO comments/recommendations are discussed below (RO's comments/recommendations are underlined). Municipal water at the proposed injection location is provided by the Cape Fear Public Water Authority (CFPUA) and more specifically. served by the Sweeney Water Treatment Plant (Sweeney Plant). The Sweeney Plant derives raw water from the Cape Fear River which has been documented as containing PFAS in the inlet of the Sweeney Plant. Furthermore. PFAS have been documented in the effluent of the Sweeney Plant at levels in excess of 2L Standards. For this reason, additional information has been requested from the consultant to aid in determining if any permit modifications are needed to ensure that water free of PFAS are not injected into the injection wells (as well as other information). Consultant has provided a response indicating that the water will be obtained from the CFPUA Richardson Water Treatment Plant which utilizes nano filter treatment technology and that the tanker truck will be cleaned with water from the Richardson Plant. It has been documented that some of the water supply wells which provide water to the Richardson Plant contain levels of PFAS. Some additional documentation may be considered appropriate indicating that PFAS are not present in the plant effluent. Although plant staff have reportedly indicated to the consultant that effluent lab results may be provided, this information has not been obtained to date. The Wilmington Regional Office recommends permit issuance upon receipt of additional information. This matter was discussed with Jay Zimmerman and Debra Watts and it was concluded to issue permit with a condition for sampling the potable water before injection. 5I Calculations Worksheet Applicant/Facility: 7LwGi' 6& Carviy, 1 p `' d 6 6 C U Permit No. WI 0 8 0 0 2 4 G UU Date: 'f29 /2©19` Reviewer: gh rc Sfit, S'h �"cSfh4, Depth to groundwater (GW): ) /' 5 BLS GW flow direction: hicat- i MWs installed in same aquifer as injection?

The frequency, duration, and location of monitoring shall be appropriate for site specific conditions and potential receptors. (B) Groundwater quality parameters that do not attenuate as described in 2(A) above may warrant a corrective action plan as provided under rule 15A NCAC 02C .0206, depending on the type, concentration, and distribution of the groundwater quality standards being exceeded. Permit No. WI0800206 PAGE 5 OF 7 ver. 5-21-2019 UIC-5I/5T PART VIII - PERMIT RENEWAL [15A NCAC 02C .0211(b)] In order to continue uninterrupted legal use of the injection facility for the stated purpose, the Permittee should submit an application to renew the permit 120 days prior to its expiration date. PART IX - CHANGE OF WELL STATUS [15A NCAC 02C .0240] 1. The Permittee shall provide written notification within 15 days of any change of status of an injection well. Such a change would include the discontinued use of a well for injection. If a well is taken completely out of service temporarily, the Permittee must install a sanitary seal. If a well is not to be used for any purpose that well must be permanently abandoned according to 15A NCAC 2C .0240, Well Construction Standards. 2. When operations have ceased at the facility and a well will no longer be used for any purpose, the Permittee shall abandon that injection well in accordance with the procedures specified in 15A NCAC 2C .0240, including but not limited to the following: (A)All casing and screen materials may be removed prior to initiation of abandonment procedures if such removal will not cause or contribute to contamination of the groundwater. (B) The entire depth of each well shall be sounded before it is sealed to insure freedom from obstructions that may interfere with sealing operations. (C) The well shall be thoroughly disinfected, prior to sealing, if WQROS staff determines that failure to do so could lead to the contamination of an underground source of drinking water. (D) Drilled wells shall be completely filled with cement grout or bentonite grout, which shall be introduced into the well through a pipe which extends to the bottom of the well and is raised as the well is filled. (E) In the case of gravel -packed wells in which the casing and screens have not been 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. (G) The Permittee shall submit a Well Abandonment Record (Form GW-30) as specified in 15A NCAC 2C .0225(k)(1)(A) within 30 days of completion of abandonment.
