ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS
Enclosed with this staff report is a copy of the 100 year floodplain map and topographic map for the area
depicting the area in and around the injection site, Lila Jackson property. The proposed area of remediation by
injection well technology does not appear to be in a 100 year floodplain of Little Coharie Creek. Ground
surface elevation at the vicinity of the injection area is approximately 185' +/- msl and the 100 year floodplain
elevation, south of the site, is mapped at 150' - 151' msl. The injection site is approx. 30' plus above the
floodplain elevation for this part of Sampson County.
There are groundwater users in the area of the remediation site (as identified by Agra on the site vicinity map of
the area near and around the Lila Jackson property). Private water supply wells are visible south of the site.
No major or identified industrial/commercial sources of pollution at or near the site, other than the junk/scrap
yard on the property. North of the site is a auto body repair shop (approx. 1000' from the north property
boundary). Possible minor source of ground water impacts in the immediate area of the site include agricultral
activities (row crop production).
The groundwater monitoring well map is misleading in that it describes some monitoring wells as destroyed
and identifies other wells that are not readily identifiable. MW-3 is labeled destroyed, but appears to be
adjacent to MW-3R. MW-3 has been impacted and the concrete pad disturbed and uprooted (photo MVC-442).
TW-8, TW-9 and TW-10 (TW-10 may be under a truck parked at the site along the highway r/w) were not
located or visible consistent with Fig. No. 2. As identified in photo MVC-438, the well with cap is not labeled
(nor are TW-1, TW-3, etc.). Wells MW-2, MW-1D, MW-3 (all off property) were not secured with locks.
Based on the number of wells installed by various contractors at various times over the life of this project; it
appears that some or most of the wells at the site may not be needed and should be properly abandoned as soon
as practical. Specifically those wells labelded TW-X, if not being monitored as part of the long term
remediation project should be evaluated for abandonment before they are destroyed (especially TW-3 that is in
the highway r/w - see photo MVC-439).
A copy of the final U1C permit should be provided to the UST Section in the Division of Waste Management.
The contact person for this site is Mr. Mark Petermann (91,) 733-1331.

Subject: Use of Klozur CR blend of sodium persulfate and calcium peroxide for
groundwater/soil remediation
N.C. DPH has reviewed the information provided for the Klozur CR blend of 111116sodium persulfate
andandla calcium peroxide for use in groundwater or soil remediation. APS states the Klozur CR
blend is a re-formulation of the OBC sodium persulfate and calcium peroxide blend that DPH
reviewed on August 25, 2008. That review identified a MI calcium peroxide andel. sodium
persulfate blend. As the Klozur CR blend is a modified proportion of the same two primary
components as the OBC blend, the health risk evaluation prepared for the OBC blend also applies to
Klozur CR. DPH recommends that the same handling and exposure concerns provided for the OBC
blend be followed for the Klozur CR blend.

Health Risk Assessment
Use of calcium peroxide or sodium hydroxide as activator for
groundwater/soil remediation with sodium persulfate
The following information is provided in response to Aquifer Protection Section's (APS)
request for a health risk evaluation regarding the use of sodium persulfate with calcium
peroxide or sodium hydroxide as activators for groundwater or soil remediation. These
chemicals are proposed for use at a Duracell battery manufacturing site contaminated
with chlorinated hydrocarbons, petroleum hydrocarbons, acetone, and carbon
tetrachloride. This review is provided as supplemental information to that provided to
APS in September 2003 by DPH regarding the use of hydrogen peroxide and iron-EDTA
activators with sodium persulfate.
The information provided to DPH indicates that calcium peroxide will be used at a
proportion of 20% calcium peroxide and 80% sodium persulfate. This mixture is diluted
to 30%, resulting in approximately 6% calcium peroxide and 24% sodium persulfate in
70% water. The information also states that sodium hydroxide will be used at 1 to 5%
with 30% sodium persulfate.

NC DPH recommends that all persons that will come into contact with the above
chemicals review the MSDS and other appropriate health and safety documents and have
undergone appropriate health and safety training. NC DPH also recommends that
transport of these chemicals off -site be controlled to prevent potential human or
ecological impacts. Access to the area of application should be limited to workers
applying the product. In order to minimize exposure to unprotected individuals,
measures should be taken to prevent access to the area of application. -
• SODIUM PERSULFATE HEALTH RISK INFORMATION:
Formula: Na2S2O3
CASN: 7775-27-1
Synonyms: Sodium peroxydisulfate, Sodium persulfate
Classification: strong oxidant
Sodium persulfate is a strong oxidant and reacts with combustible and reducing
materials. Sodium persulfate decomposes on heating producing toxic and corrosive fumes
including sulfur oxides. It reacts violently with powdered metals and strong bases. In
solution in water it is a weak acid. Sodium persulfate becomes unstable when exposed to
heat, moisture and/or contamination. It is incompatible with acids, alkalis, halides
(fluorides, chlorides, bromides and iodides), combustible materials, most metals and
heavy metals, oxidizable materials, other oxidizers, reducing agents, cleaners, and
organic or carbon containing compounds. Oxidizing chemicals, including sodium
persulfate, should not be stored or directly mixed with combustible material (such as
fuels, papers or solvents) or reducing agents (such as metals or sulfites). Contact with
incompatible materials can result in a material decomposition or other uncontrolled
reactions. Oxidizing chemicals may react energetically with combustible materials or
reducing agents and also release oxygen and heat during decomposition that could help
support a fire. Some oxidizing agents are incompatible with one another. Decomposing
persulfates will evolve large volumes of gas and/or vapor, can accelerate exponentially
with heat generation, and create significant and hazardous pressures if contained and not
properly controlled or mitigated. Use with alcohols in the presence of water has been
demonstrated to generate conditions that require rigorous adherence to process safety
methods and standards to prevent escalation to an uncontrolled reaction.
Potential health effects: The primary route of toxicity is through direct inhalation of
airborne dust or mist, or direct contact. Airborne persulfate dust may be irritating to eyes,
nose, lungs, throat and skin upon contact. Dust dispersion should be controlled. Sodium
persulfate in identified as a strong oxidizer and an irritant. Inhalation of dust may cause
asthma -like reactions. Acute (short-term) health effects that may occur immediately or
shortly after exposure include severe skin and eye irritation and bums. Breathing sodium
persulfate can irritate the nose, throat and lungs, causing coughing, wheezing and/or
shortness of breath. Long-term (chronic) or repeated exposure may cause a skin
allergy or dermatitis. If allergy develops, very low future exposure can cause itching and
a skin rash. An asthma -like allergy may also result from long-term or repeated inhalation
exposures with future exposure potentially causing asthma attacks with shortness of

Page3of9
breath, wheezing, cough, and/or chest tightness. General allergic reactions, like urticaria
(hives) or shock, may occur. Sodium persulfate has not been tested for its ability to cause
cancer or reproductive effects.
Evidence of exposure includes:
Inhalation: cough, labored breathing, sore throat, wheezing
Skin: redness, pain
Eyes: redness, pain
Ingestion: diarrhea, nausea, sore throat, vomiting
Recommended personal protective equipment (PPE): Prevent release of dust into the
work environment with room ventilation. All persons working with sodium persulfate
should use appropriate PPE, including:
Eyes and face: Use cup type chemical goggles. Full face shield may be used.
Respiratory: Use approved dust respirator when airborne dust is expected. A NIOSH 100
HEPA tight -fitting half -face unit is recommended (with fit testing).
Protective clothing: Normal work clothes. Rubber or neoprene footwear.
Gloves: Rubber or neoprene gloves. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap
and water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for leaks.
First Aid:
Eye contact: Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact: Quickly remove contaminated clothing. Immediately wash contaminated
skin with large amounts of soap and water.
Breathing: Remove the person from exposure. Begin rescue breathing (using universal
precautions) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer
promptly to a Medical facility.
Additional safety recommendations: Prevent release of dust into the work environment
with room ventilation: Workers whose clothing has been contaminated with sodium
persulfate should change into clean clothing promptly. On skin contact immediately
wash or shower to remove the chemical. Remove contaminated clothing immediately
and wash before reuse. At the end of the work shift, wash any areas of the body that may
have contacted sodium persulfate, whether or not known skin contact has occurred. Do
not take contaminated work clothes home to prevent exposure of family members.
Contaminated work clothes should be laundered by individuals who have been informed
of the hazards of exposure to sodium persulfate.
Eye wash fountains should be provided in the immediate work area for emergency use. If
there is the possibility of skin exposure, emergency shower facilities should be provided.
Do not eat, smoke, or drink where sodium persulfate is handled, processed, or stored,
since the chemical can be swallowed. Wash hands carefully before eating, drinking,
smoking, or using the toilet.
Handling and storage: Use adequate ventilation when transferring product from bags or
drums. Provide mechanical general and/or local exhaust ventilation to prevent release of
Location: 5505 Six Forks Rd., 2nd Floor, Room 1-2-D1 • Raleigh, N.C. 27609

Page 4 of 9
dust into work environment. Spills should be collected into suitable containers to prevent
dispersion into the air. Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate or not
available. Use eye and skin protection. Use clean plastic or stainless steel scoops only.
Store (unopened) in a cool, clean, dry place away from point sources of heat, e.g. radiant
heaters or steam pipes. In case of fire or decomposition (fuming/smoking) deluge with
plenty of water to control decomposition. Use a vacuum or a wet method to reduce dust
during clean-up. DO NOT DRY SWEEP.
CALCIUM PEROXIDE HEALTH RISK INFORMATION:
Formula: CaO2
CASN: 1305-79-9
Synonyms: calcium dioxide, calcium superoxide, Calper, Calper G
Classification: oxidizer
Calcium peroxide is an oxidizer, thus contact with combustible materials (paper, cotton,
organics, leather, reducing agents, and other oxidizers) should be avoided. Calcium
peroxide is not flammable but will contribute oxygen to feed a fire. Contamination, heat,
and humid conditions will enhance and accelerate decomposition. Decomposition is
endothLuuic, unlike most oxidizers. Store calcium peroxide in a clean, dry place. Do not
expose to heat sources or high humidity. Store away from combustible materials. Keep
containers closed when not in use. Dilute spills with water.
Potential health effects: Contact can severely irritate and burn the skin and eyes with
possible eye damage. Breathing calcium peroxide can irritate the nose, throat and lungs
causing coughing, wheezing and/or shortness of breath. Harmful if swallowed. The
following acute (short-term). health effects may occur immediately or shortly after
exposure. Contact can severely irritate and bum the skin and eyes with possible eye
damage. Breathing calcium peroxide can irritate the nose, throat and lungs causing
coughing, wheezing and/or shortness of breath. Chronic (long-term) health effects can -
occur at some time after exposure and can last for months or years and include lung
irritation. Repeated exposure may cause bronchitis with cough, phlegm, and/or shortness
of breadth. Calcium peroxide has not been tested for its ability to cause cancer or
reproductive effects. Calcium peroxide should be handled in well ventilated, dust
controlled areas. When handling large quantities, use a dust mask, goggles, and gloves.
Evidence of exposure includes:
Inhalation: nose and throat irritation
Skin: irritation
Eyes: irritation
Ingestion: irritation of mouth and stomach
Recommended personal protective equipment (PPE): Avoid skin contact with
calcium peroxide.
Eves and face: Wear chemical safety goggles. Wear a face shield along with goggles
when working with corrosive, highly irritating or toxic substances.

chemical.
Do not eat, smoke, or drink where calcium peroxide is handled, processed, or stored,
since the chemical can be swallowed. Wash hands carefully before eating, drinking,
smoking, or using the toilet.
Use a vacuum or a wet method to reduce dust during clean-up. DO NOT DRY SWEEP.
Handling and storage: Calcium peroxide must be stored to avoid contact with
combustibles; hydrocarbons; fuels; cellulose; hydrogen peroxide; and organic materials
since fires may occur. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well -ventilated area.

Sodium hydroxide is classified as a corrosive material. Sodium hydroxide is
incompatible with water, acids, flammable liquids, organic halogens, organic peroxides,
metals such as aluminum, tin, zinc, or nitromethane. It is corrosive to metals. Keep this
compound separated from acids, easily ignitable materials, explosives, metals, organic
peroxides, and water or any moisture. Sodium hydroxide will react with water to release
heat and contact with aluminum, tin, lead and zinc will release flammable and explosive
hydrogen gas. Contact with nitromethane and other nitro compounds may result in the
formation of shock -sensitive or explosive salts. Contact with moisture or water may generate
sufficient heat to ignite combustible substances.
Potential health effects: Sodium hydroxide is a corrosive irritant of the skin, eyes, and
mucous membranes. Sodium hydroxide both in solid and in solution has a markedly
corrosive action upon all body tissues causing burns and frequently deep maceration,
with ultimate scarring. Inhalation of the dust or concentrated mist can cause damage to
the upper respiratory tract and to lung tissue, depending upon the severity of the
exposure. Effects of inhalation may vary from mild irritation of the mucous membranes
at 2 mg/m3 to severe pneumonitis at higher airborne concentrations. Inhalation of
alkaline vapors can produce upper airway edema, respiratory failure, wheezing,
pulmonary edema, and pneumonitis. Exposure to the dust or mist may cause pain,
redness, irritation or full thickness burns. Contact with the eyes causes disintegration and
sloughing of conjunctival and corneal epithelium, corneal opacification (renders the
cornea opaque), marked edema, and ulceration. Permanent visual loss may occur. After 7
to 13 days, either gradual recovery begins, or there is progression of ulceration and
corneal opacification. On the skin, solutions of 25 to 50% sodium hydroxide cause a
sensation of irritation within about 3 minutes; with 4% solutions, irritation does not
develop for several hours. If it is not removed from the skin, severe burns with deep
ulceration may occur. Produces severe abdominal'pain, corrosion of the lips, mouth,
tongue, esophagus, and pharynx, and the vomiting of large pieces of mucosa. It can cause
perforation and scarring. Glottic edema and upper airway obstruction may occur
following ingestion. Cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus have occurred
with latent periods of 12 to 42 years after ingestion. These cancers were the sequelae of
tissue destruction and possible scar formation, rather than due to a direct carcinogenic
action of sodium hydroxide itself. The greatest industrial hazard is rapid tissue
destruction of eyes or skin upon contact with either the solid or concentrated solutions.
Acute (short-term exposure) health effects which may occur immediately or shortly
after exposure include with contact severe irritation and buming the skin and eyes with
possible eye damage or clouding of the eyes with loss of vision. Breathing sodium
hydroxide can irritate the mouth, nose and throat. Breathing can also irritate the lungs
causing coughing and/or shortness of breath. Higher exposures can cause a build-up of
fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema), a medical emergency, with severe shortness of
breath. Chronic (long-term exposure) health effects can occur at some time after
exposure to and can last for months or years. Very high chronic exposure may cause lung
damage. Sodium hydroxide has not been tested for ability to cause cancer in animals.
There is no evidence it effects reproduction.

Evidence of exposure includes:
Inhalation: irritation of mucous membranes, pneumonitis
Skin: irritation, bums, temporary loss of hair
Eyes: irritation, corneal damage
Ingestion: irritation of mucous membranes, severe abdominal pain, corrosion of
the lips, mouth, tongue, and pharynx, and the vomiting of large pieces
of mucosa, upper airway obstruction may occur
Workplace exposure limits:
These exposure limits are for air levels only.
OSHA: The legal airborne permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 2 mg/m3 averaged over
an 8-hour work shift.
NIOSH: The recommended airborne exposure limit is 2 mg/m3, which should not be
exceeded at any time. The NIOSH IDLH value is 10 mg/m3.
ACGIH: The recommended airborne exposure limit is 2 mg/m3, which should not be
exceeded at any time.
Recommended personal protective equipment (PPE): Appropriate, impervious,
protective clothing (including gloves) should be worn to prevent skin contact. Protective
equipment should not be made of aluminum, copper, soft iron, tin, or zinc (or alloys
made of these metals. ,
Eyes and face: For solid sodium hydroxide wear impact resistant eye protection with side
shields or goggles. For liquids wear indirect -vent, impact and splash resistant goggles. A
face shield along with goggles is recommended when working with corrosive, highly
irritating or toxic substances. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this
substance. Eyewash fountains should be provided.
Respiratory: Use NIOSH certified toxic dust respirator. A NIOSH 100 HEPA tight-
fittinghalf--face unit is recommended (with fit testing). Where the potential exists for
exposure over 2 mg/m3, use a MSHA/NIOSH approved supplied -air respirator with a full
face piece operated in a pressure -demand or other positive -pressure mode. For increased
protection use in combination with an auxiliary self-containedbreathing apparatus
operated in a pressure -demand or other positive -pressure mode. Exposure to 10 mg/m3 is
immediately dangerous to life and health. If the possibility of exposure above 10 mg/m3
exists, use a MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face
piece operated in a pressure -demand or other positive -pressure mode.
Gloves: Impervious. ACGIH recommends polyvinyl chloride, butyl, butyl/neoprene,
natural rubber, neoprene, polyethylene, Saranex, Teflon and Viton/neoprene as protective
materials.
First Aid:
Eyes: Irrigate immediately
Skin: Water flush immediately. Clothing which becomes significantly contaminated, or
wet, should be removed as quickly as possible.
Breathing: Respiratory support
Ingestion: Medical attention immediately

Handling and storage: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well -ventilated
area away from moisture. Wherever sodium hydroxide is used, handled, manufactured,
or stored, use explosion -proof electrical equipment and fittings. Keep sodium hydroxide
separated from acids, easily ignitable materials, explosives, metals, organic peroxides,
and water (or any moisture).
Additional safety recommendations: Workers whose clothing has been contaminated
by sodium hydroxide should change into clean clothing promptly. Do not take
contaminated work clothes home. Family members could be exposed.
Contaminated work clothes should be laundered by individuals who have been informed
of the hazards of exposure to sodium hydroxide.
Eye wash fountains should be provided in the immediate work area for emergency use.
If there is the possibility of skin exposure, emergency shower facilities should be
provided. On skin contact sodium hydroxide, immediately wash or shower to remove the
chemical. At the end of the work shift, wash any areas of the body that may have
contacted sodium hydroxide, whether or not known skin contact has occurred.
Do not eat, smoke, or drink where sodium hydroxide is handled, processed, or stored,
since the chemical can be swallowed. Wash hands carefully before eating, drinking,
smoking, or using the toilet.
For solid sodium hydroxide use a vacuum to reduce dust during clean-up. DO NOT DRY
SWEEP.
