PART IX - CHANGE OF WELL STATUS 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 .0113, 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 .0113(b), including but not limited to the following: Permit No. WI0600062 PAGE 5 OF 7 ver. Jan.2010 AP/UIC-6 (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 groundwaters. (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 the Director 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 Pennittee shall submit a Well Abandonment Record (Form GW-30) as specified in 15A NCAC 2C .0213(h)(1) within 30 days of completion of abandonment. 3. The written documentation required in Part IX (1) and (2) (G) shall be submitted to: Aquifer Protection Section-UIC Staff DENR-Division of Water Quality 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 PART X — WORKER PRECAUTIONS DURING APPLICATION 1. Some effects reported to be associated with the product proposed to be used are as follows: eye, skin, nose, throat, and lung irritation. If the product is released into the environment in a way that could result in a suspension of fine solid or liquid particles (e.g., grinding, blending, vigorous shaking or mixing), then proper personal protective equipment should be used. The application process should be reviewed by an industrial hygienist to ensure that the most appropriate personal protective equipment is used. 2. Persons working with these products should wear goggles or a face shield, gloves, and protective clothing. Face and body protection should be used for anticipated splashes or sprays. 3. Eating, drinking, smoking, handling contact lenses, and applying cosmetics should not be Permit No. WI0600062 PAGE 6 OF 7 ver. Jan.2010 AP/UIC-6 permitted in the application area during or immediately following application. 4. Safety controls should be in place to ensure that the check valve and the pressure delivery systems are working properly. 5. The Material Safety Data Sheets should be followed to prevent incompatible or adverse reactions and injuries. Permit No. WI0600062 PAGE 7 OF 7 ver. Jan.2010 AP/UIC-6 MEMORANDUM TO: Debra Watts FROM: Michael Rogers THROUGH: Thomas Slusser RE: DIVISION OF WATER QUALIT AQUIFER PROTECTION SECTION October 15, 2010 Issuance of permit to inject Klozur CR (Permit #WI0600062) Lila Jackson Property facility located at 13931 Spivey's Corner Hwy., Newton Grove, Sampson County, North Carolina I recommend that Permit Number WI0600062 be issued to Robert S. Crumpler to inject Klozur CR to remediate groundwater (GW) contaminated with petroleum products. SITE DESCRIPTION: The subject Site is an inactive, closed gas station/store (Figure 1). A gasoline leak occurred in the former underground storage tanks, which have been removed. HYDROGEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION: The Site is located in the Black Creek Formation within the Coastal Plain Physiographic Region. In the area of the Site, the overburden consists primarily of sand to approximately 6 feet with a red clay from about 6 to 15 feet BLS. Petroleum contaminated soil has been removed, and injection wells have been installed in the excavation area filled with clean backfill. Depth to groundwater (GW) is approximately 4 feet BLS. GW generally flows north to northwest at approximately 5 ft/year based upon an assumed porosity of 30% (Figure 8). EXTENT OF CONTAMINATION: The contaminant plume in the surficial aquifer is approximately 75 feet long and 50 feet wide (Figure 2). According to the Applicant, the nearest water supply well is located on -site approximately 300 feet west-southwest of the contaminant plume, which is cross -gradient (Figure 4). However, there is a private well located approximately 330 feet northwest of the plume, which would be downgradient (Figure 8). PROPOSED INJECTION: The proposed injection consists of 2 separate injection events with each event injecting a total of 450 gallons of injectant via 6 permanently installed injection wells (estimated 75 gallons per day per well). Each injection event is to last 1 day with 2 weeks between events. These wells will inject from 5- 10 feet BLS. The estimated amount of fluid displacement from injection is approximately 7%. Therefore, the potential displacement of the plume is low. HOW IT WORKS: Klozur CR is used to remediate groundwater contaminated with petroleum compounds by oxidation of hydrocarbons and stimulates biologic activity to further reduce petroleum products. This remediation approach has been approved by Mark Peterman with the UST section. MONITORING: The proposed monitoring plan is to use monitoring wells MW-4R and MW-7R. However, I am requesting MW- 8 be added. Proposed frequency is to sample for field parameters and a petroleum suite (EPA Method 6200B) prior to 1st injection, and one month after 2nd injection event. Field parameters only will be collected immediately before and after the 2nd event. rm also requesting the following field parameters to be measured: temperature, pH (field), conductivity, DO, and ORP. EPIDEMIOLOGY: The DHHS has reviewed and approved Klozur CR as an injectant. REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENTS: Each of the RO comments/recommendations are discussed below (RO's comments/recommendations are underlined). Item #1-The only comment Jim Barber had in the staff report has been satisfied by the included site map showing the location of the permanently installed injection wells. Jim Barber, signing For Art Barnhardt of the Fayetteville RO, recommends issuance of this permit. 5I Calculations Worksheet Applicant/Facility: L/i-.4- c/Cfa» /12-a/0n77 Permit No. WI me(a Date: //34 Reviewer: / Z &$ac Depth to groundwater (GW): BLS GW. flow direction: /1/ 01.)
