PART X — SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. Please refer to Luanne K. Williams' letter dated June 20, 2001 for worker precautions
during the application process. Because of the potential presence of acrylamide in the
proposed injected fluid and acrylamide's high solubility and toxicity, extreme caution
should be taken to prevent contamination of groundwater as specified in 15A NCAC 2C
.0213(a)(2).
