HomeMy WebLinkAboutWI0700012_Monitoring (Report)_19941215EXPLANATION OF QUARTERLY COMPLIANCE MONITORING REPORT DATABASE:
TEXASGULF INC. PHOSPHATE OPERATIONS, AURORA, NC
(BEAUFORT COUNTY)
On the database (EXCEL\TXGFPHOS.MON), the quarterly
compliance monitoring reports results for each year from 1989
through 1995 are presented. Parameters specified in the permit
conditions are listed in the leftmost column. The unit of
measurement (in parentheses) and the regulatory standard
concentration (in italics) are indicated below each parameter.
Data reported for each parameter are entered on successive
columns by quarterly date. Each parameter is reported for four
sampling sites on each date. The following table gives a
description of the monitoring sites at the tank farm.
Supply - represents the Castle Hayne Aquifer from which
injectate is derived.
WLCT - represents the storage tank where condensate is
mixed with the Supply from the Castle Hayne in order to
reduce concentration of certain parameters below the
regulatory limit.
CIW7 - represents fluid from the riser pipes of the
seventh and last injection well in the line and is
considered to represent the injectate.
MWTF-1C represents groundwater from the Croatan
Formation, into which the fluid is injected.
Monitoring of MWFT-1C was begun in 1989. The permit for
injection was effective from January, 1992, but injection and
monitoring of CIW7, Supply, and WLCT did not commence until
October, 1993. Therefore, the sampling requirements and
regulatory standards specified in the conditions apply only to
reports issued from October, 1993 forward. Note that only
monitoring of CIW7 and MWTF-1C is required; monitoring of Supply
and WLCT is not legally required, but is useful in determining
causes of exceedances reported from CIW7. On the database, the
required CIW7 monitoring site is highlighted in yellow and the
data for CIW7 and MWTF-1C which are not in compliance are
highlighted in green. This includes data that is not reported,
is in exceedance of regulatory limits (CIW7 only), or in which
stated detection limits are greater than the regulatory limits.

RE: Compliance Monitoring - Injection Well Permit No. 06-0071-WO-0005
Dear Mr. Schimming:
Review of the Compliance Monitoring Report for October, 1994, submitted
to the Underground Injection Control Program, Groundwater Section, in.
compliance with the conditions of Injection Well Permit No. 06-0071-W0-0005,
indicates three instances of non-compliance:
1) The total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration of the injectate (sampled
from riser pipe of CIW-7) of 528 mg/I exceeds the concentration limit of 475
mg/I set in permit condition Part II (A)(2).
2) The total organic carbon (TOC) concentration of the injectate (sampled from
riser pipe of CIW-7) of 5.05 mg/I exceeds the concentration limit of 4.3 mg/I
set in permit condition Part II (A)(2).
3) The chloride concentration of the injectate (sampled from riser pipe of CIW-
7) of 94.9 mg/I exceeds the concentration limit of 55.0 mg/I set in permit
condition Part II (A)(2).
In a letter, dated November 28, 1994, to the Groundwater Section, you
state that TDS, chloride, and sulfate concentration values in the CIW-7 sampled
are greater than "recommended injectate quality parameters in the subject permit".
Please note that the concentration limits are required, not recommended. Also
note that TOC, not sulfate, concentrations are in exceedance of the limits set by
Permit No. 06-0071-WO-0005, as well as those of TDS and chloride.
You indicate in the letter that you will propose an alternative injectate water

supply to attempt to resolve the problem of concentration limit exceedances in the
injectate. The revised water supply system must supply injectate water that
meets the concentration limits set in Part II (A)(2) of the Specific Conditions of
Permit No. 06-0071-WO-0005.
Furthermore, it has been the practice of Texasgulf, Inc. to submit quarterly
monitoring reports and correspondence in reference to the injection well permit to
the Groundwater Section using a general address. Please note that Part II (A)
(1) of the Specific Conditions of Permit No. 06-0071-WO-0005 requires that the
results of sampling and analysis be submitted to the following address:

W.A. Schimming

(919) 322-8239
Please find enclosed the Supplemental Tank Farm Remedial Action System quarterly
groundwater monitoring data for your information. These data are from samples collected
during October, 1994. The sampling and analysis of water from the injection well system as
required by Permit No. 06-0071-W0-0005 is also included.
Water that is supplied as injectate to the injection well system comes from a single well, the
injection supply well, which is exclusively used for this purpose. The water from the injection
supply well now displays total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride (C1) and sulfate (SO4) values
which are above the recommended injectate quality parameters in the subject permit. This is
also reflected in the analytical values for injection well CIW-7. Texasgulf is presently designing
a filtration/disinfection apparatus which will allow for the use of another source of injectate
water for the subject system. This proposal will be completed and submitted to DEM by
February 1, 1995.
Please contact me or Tim Walls if you have any questions regarding this information.

RE: Compliance Monitoring
Permit No. 06-0071-WO-0005
Dear Mr. Schimming,
Review of the Compliance Monitoring Report for April, 1994,
submitted to the Underground Injection Control Program,
Groundwater Section, in compliance with the conditions of
Injection Well Permit No. 06-0071-WO-0005, indicates two
instances of non-compliance_: T -
1) The total phosphorus concentration of the injectate (sampled
from riser pipe of CIW-7) of 0.497 mg/1 exceeds the concentration
limit of 0.15 mg/1 set in the permit conditions (Part II.A.2).
You are requested to sample and analyze the injectate from CIW-7
for total phosphorus again and submit the result to this office.
If the total phosphorus concentration again exceeds the limit,
Texasgulf, Inc. must provide an explanation for this exceedance.
2) The cadmium detection limit of <0.01 mg/1 reported for both
CIW-7 and MWTF1C is greater than the concentration limit of 0.005
mg/1 specified in the permit conditions (Part II.A.2). The
sensitivity of the method used to analyze for cadmium must be
improved so that the detection limit is below the specified
concentration limit of 0.005 mg/1. If sensitivity cannot be
improved for cadmium analysis in the forthcoming July monitoring
report, an explanation must accompany that report.

From: Karen Harmon
Subject: Review of Quarterly Monitoring Reports Submitted to UIC
Group by Texasgulf Inc. Phosphate Operations (Beaufort) From
Oct., 1992 to Jan., 1994 to Comply with the Conditions of Permit
No. 06 - 0071 - WO - 0005 for 7 Injection Wells in their Tank
Farm Remedial System.
1) A TDS concentration of >475 mg/1 is characteristic of the
Croatan Aquifer groundwater (sampled from MWTF1C) both before and
after injection. The TDS limit of 475 mg/1 is exceeded in the
supply of Castle Hayne groundwater and in the injectate (from
CIW-7). Steam condensate was to have been mixed with the supply
to bring the TDS concentration in the injectate below 475 mg/1,
but apparently this dilution was not performed. Texasgulf should
be asked to come into compliance (by adding condensate) or to
request a variance on the TDS concentration limit based on the
high TDS concentration ofACroatan Aquifer groundyaater pbs r e t

2) A chloride concentration of about 55mg/1 is maintained in
the Croatan Aquifer groundwater (MWTF-1C) before injection
begins, but after injection begins, chloride concentration
increases notably in the Croatan groundwater. The chloride limit
of 55 mg/1 is exceeded in both the supply of Castle Hayne
groundwater and in the injectate (CIW-7). It would appear that
injection is elevating the chloride concentration of the Croatan
Aquifer groundwater. Texasgulf should be asked to �cpme into ����-7) f-

3) A sulfate concentration of 60-70 mg/1 characterizes the
Croatan Aquifer groundwater (MWTF-1C) before injection, but
decreases to less than 10 mg/1 after injection begins.
4) Analytical data for Cd, Cr, and Mn are apparently at or
below the detection limits achieved by Texasgulf labs. Texasgulf
5)
should be asked to decrease their detection limits by refining
their methods or by sending the samples, o a, lab with mac re , Cd t 44

Texasgulf's use of —VA aid BDL or required sample
parameters is not acceptable. Texasgulf should be required to
state the numerical value of the detection limit (i.e.,
<0.001mg/1). When a required parameter is reported as "not
analyzed", the sample should be re -analyzed and a second report
submitted for that parameter.

APPLICATION TO MODIFY PERMIT NO. 06-0071-WI-0238
FOR INJECTION WELL SYSTEM
TANK FARM AREA
REMEDIAL ACTION SYSTEM
TEXASGULF PHOSPHATE OPERATIONS
AURORA, NORTH CAROLINA
(1) General. The original application for a permit to construct seven Croatan formation
injection wells for, the tank farm area, remedial action system was submitted on
February 28, 1991_in_accordance_with.the_Ardamaa &. Associates, Jnc._Remedial Action
System Design Report dated July 31, 1990, and approved by the State of North Carolina
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Environmental
Management - Groundwater Section on November 26, 1990.
Permission to construct the seven injection wells was issued by the Division of
Environmental Management on May 8, 1991 in Permit No. 06-0071-WI-0238. The injection
wells were subsequently installed between May 30 and June 7, 1991, and construction
records for the wells were submitted to the Division of Environmental Management on
August 16, 1991.
Since submitting the original permit application to construct the injection well system, the
Castle Hayne aquifer water supply well, FERT-1, planned as the source of the injection
fluid has been scheduled to be abandoned and will not be available as the source of
injection fluid. Accordingly, this permit modification requests permission to provide an
alternate water supply source for the injection fluid.
(2) Proposed Modification to Permit No. 06-0071-WI-0238. Permit Items E, G and H in the
original application stipulated that the water supply for the injection well system would be
water supply well FERT-1 in the tank farm area tapping the Castle Hayne aquifer. It was
further stipulated that water from this well would be treated with a reverse osmosis system
to lower the total dissolved solids concentration below 475 mg/I prior to injection into the
Croatan formation. As outlined in the August 29, 1991 notice of modification request,
however, the FERT-1 well has been scheduled to be abandoned and will not be available
as the source for the injection fluid as originally planned. This request for modification to
Permit No. 06-0071-WI-0238, therefore, seeks permission to: (i) use a new well tapping the
upper 20 feet of the Castle Hayne aquifer as the water supply source for the injection well
system; and (ii) allow mixing of steam condensate water with the well water, if needed, to

maintain the total dissolved solids concentration of the injection fluid below 475 mg/I in the
event the total dissolved solids concentration of the Castle Hayne aquifer well water rises
above 475 mg/I.
A revised application for permit to construct and/or use a well for injection (Form GW-57B)
is attached with the requested modifications. The modifications are also described in
detail below. For permit items not requiring modifications, the approved permit application
is referenced.
(3) Permit Items A through D. No change from information contained in Permit No.
06-0071-WI-0238.
• (4) Permit Item E Well Use. The injection wells will be used to inject fresh water into the
Croatan formation as described under Permit Item D. The water supply for the injection
well system will be a new well tapping the upper 20 feet of the Castle Hayne aquifer
installed southeast of the tank farm area in the general location depicted in Figure 1. If
needed, steam condensate water will be added to the well water by a mixing system to
maintain the total dissolved solids_concentration.of theinjectionfluid -equal_to_or_less-than-
475 mg/I (see Permit Item H below).
(5)
Permit Item F - Well Construction Data. No change from information contained in Permit
No. 06-0071-WI-0238. The injection wells were installed between May 30 and June 7,1991
in accordance with the drawings and specifications submitted with the original approved
permit application. Construction records for the wells were submitted to the Division of
Environmental Management on August 6, 1991 and are also included in Attached IV.
(6) Permit Item G - Proposed Operating Data.
• Iniection Rate and Volume. No change from information contained in Permit No.
06-0071-WI-0238
• Injection Pressure. No change from information contained in Permit No.
06-0071-WI-0238
• Iniection Temperature. The water supply for the injection wells will be groundwater
from the upper 20 feet of the Castle Hayne aquifer. Groundwater samples
obtained on September 24 and 26, 1991 from a piezometer tapping the upper 20
feet of the Castle Hayne aquifer near the proposed well site (Piezometer P-47 on
Figure 1) displayed a temperature of 18.5°C (65.3°F). Based upon quarterly
sampling at the FERT-1 water supply well in the tank farm, also tapping the Castle
Hayne aquifer, variations in the temperature of the aquifer groundwater are
expected to be minor, with the temperature of the Castle Hayne aquifer
groundwater remaining between about 18°C (64.4°F) and 21°C (69.8°F). The
temperature of groundwater in the Croatan formation based upon eleven quarterly
measurements between January 1989 and July 1991 averaged 19.7±0.7°C at

monitor wells MWTF-1 C and MWTF-2C (see Drawing 2 for well locations) and
28.5±0.8°C at MWTF-3C (groundwater in the Croatan formation is warmer at
monitor well MWTF-3C because of the nearby heated sulfur storage tanks).
Accordingly, when the injection fluid is comprised of groundwater from the Castle
Hayne aquifer, the temperature of the injection fluid will remain within ±1 to ±3°C
(±1 to ±4°F) of the Croatan formation groundwater temperature at monitor wells
MWTF-1 C and MWTF-2C, and will be 7 to 11°C (12 to 20°F) less than the Croatan
'formation groundwater temperature at monitor well MWTF-3C.
Steam condensate water, if used to reduce the total dissolved solids concentration
of the injection fluid, can have a maximum temperature of about 82°C (180°F). The
volume of steam condensate water mixed with the Castle Hayne aquifer well water
will be controlled by the mixing system such that the temperature of the injection
fluid does not exceed 35.5°C (96°F), in compliance with the maximum allowable
30°F temperature increase for injection well systems above the background
groundwater temperature (i.e., for a background groundwater temperature of 19°C
(66°F) at monitor wells MWTF-1 C and MWTF-2C a maximum injection fluid
__temperature of 35.5°C (96°F) is allowed).
Permit Item H - Infected Fluid Data. As discussed above under Permit Items E and G, the
injection fluid will be Castle Hayne aquifer groundwater. Steam condensate water will be
added to the Castle Hayne aquifer groundwater by the mixing system to maintain the total
dissolved solids concentration equal to or less than 475 mg/I, if the total dissolved solids
concentration of the well water rises above 475 mg/I. The chemical characteristics of: (i)
groundwater from the Castle Hayne aquifer based .upon sampling piezometer P-47 near
the location of the proposed water supply well; (ii) steam condensate water; and (iii) the
existing groundwater in the Croatan formation near the injection wells at background
monitor well MWTF-1 C are presented in Table 1.
Permit Item I - Injection Related Equipment. Construction of the seven injection wells,
connecting header pipe, water level control tank and the well water/steam condensate
water mixing and control system was completed in early August 1991, and inspected on
August 15, 1991 by the Division of Environmental Management. Drawings of the injection
well system components (i.e., injection wells, withdrawal wells, injection well header pipe
and water level control tank) were submitted with the original approved permit application.
Permit Item J - Location of Wells. The injection wells were installed at the locations shown
on the drawings submitted with the original approved permit application.

RE: Compliance Monitoring - Injection Well Permit No. 06-0071-WO-0005
Dear Mr. Schimming:
Review of the Compliance Monitoring Report for October, 1994, submitted
to the Underground -Injection -Control -Program, Groundwater Section, in
compliance with the conditions of Injection Well Permit No. 06-0071-WO-0005,'
indicates three instances of non-compliance:
1) The total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration of the injectate (sampled
from riser pipe of CIW-7) of 528 mg/I exceeds the concentration limit of 475
mg/I set in permit condition Part II (A)(2).
2) The total organic carbon (TOC) concentration of the injectate (sampled from
riser pipe of CIW-7) of 5.05 mg/I exceeds the concentration limit of 4.3 mg/I
set in permit condition Part II (A)(2).
3) The chloride concentration of the injectate (sampled from riser pipe of CIW-
7) of 94.9 mg/I exceeds the concentration limit of 55.0 mg/I set in permit
condition Part II (A)(2).
In a letter, dated November 28, 1994, to the Groundwater Section, you
state that TDS, chloride, and sulfate concentration values in the CIW-7 sampled
are greater than "recommended injectate quality parameters in the subject permit".
Please note that the concentration limits are required, not recommended. Also
note that TOC, not sulfate, concentrations are in exceedance of the limits set by
Permit No. 06-0071-WO-0005, as well as those of TDS and chloride.
You indicate in the letter that you will propose an alternative injectate water
