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.

Phosphate Operations P.O. Box 48 Aurora, NC 27806 AV:eCWA IDEHNR 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 P.O.

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: Underground Injection Control Program Groundwater Section NC DEHNR - Division of Environmental Management PO Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Thank you for your co-operation.

Schimming Manager Environmental Affairs (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. Sincerely, ,,x/C t /1/10(-1 W. A.

Box 48 Aurora, NC 27806 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. Sincerely, L �\ r Kaa en Q A.

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 MWTF1C . 1/94 rn t : #o r'•w► Q,d„"J.' --rt,1'.! a• �%vti.Y 1 t a eto io, [ I w7� 7'0 aLa�wr U.• .t o atof pin. • So sty ,4-1-,". two bodilyo• X 96.4^ww+ • 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.

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.

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 Texasgulf Inc.

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 Texasgulf Inc. File Number 88-089 Texasgulf Project AFE-N-763 (7) (8) (9) Application to Modify Permit No. 06-0071-WI-0238 for Injection Well System Attachment III October 29, 1991 Page 3 of 4 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. Texasgulf Inc.

Phosphate Operations P.O. Box 48 Aurora, NC 27806 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 P.O.
