MCI OCI Si
7.7C1',e11

(2) operation procedures; and
(3) a planned injection schedule.
See Section 4.2, specifically Sections 4.2.1.2, 4.2.1.3 of the attached Final Treatability Study
Work Plan, March 2001 and figures in Appendix J of the Work Plan. Operating procedures for
HRC injection specifics from Regenesis are also attached for your convenience.
Iniection is tentatively planned for September 2001.
F. DESCRIPTION OF SITE
Provide a brief description of the contamination incident and the incident number
assigned by the Division of Water Quality staff in the Department's Regional Office:
Site Location covered in Section 1.1 of the attached Final Treatability Study Work Plan, March 2001,
page 1-2)
Specific site of concern covered in Section 1.3.3 (pages 1-4 to 1-6) of the Work Plan
No incident number has been assigned.
G. HYDROGEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION
SECTION (G) MUST BE ORIGINALLY SEALED AND SIGNED BY A NC
LICENSED GEOLOGIST
Provide a hydrogeologic description, soils description, and cross section of the subsurface to a
depth that included the known or projected depth of contamination. The number of borings
shall be sufficient to determine the following:
(1) the regional geologic setting;
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
significant changes in lithology;
the hydraulic conductivity of the saturated zone;
the depth to the mean seasonal high water table; and
a determination of transmissivity and specific yield of the aquifer to be used for
injection (showing calculations).
Geologic and Hydrogeologic Description:
A general, brief hydrogeologic description of the site is found in Section 1.2 of the attached Final Treatability
Study Work Plan, March 2001, page 1-2.
For a detailed description of these parameters, see the Attachment (G), "Site Geology and Hydrogeology."
This attachment includes a description of the regional and site geologic setting; soils description/changes in
lithology; hydrogeology; depth to water table; and calculations/analysis for the following: (1) hydraulic
conductivity, (2) transmissivity, and (3) specific yield of the aquifer. As described in the attachment, the water
table is approximately 8 feet bgs. Water table elevations are highest in the easternmost wells at about 15 feet
above msl and are lowest in the westernmost well at approximately 4 feet above msl.
The general lithology of the Surficial aquifer in the Stripper Barn area,as described in the Attachment Site
Geology and Hydrogeology, is a sequence of poorly -sorted fine to medium sand with varying minor amounts
of silt, coarsening downward to a well -sorted medium sand. Shell fragments with minor clay layers are
generally encountered in the lower section of the Surficial aquifer, near the Yorktown confining unit.
Further lithologic descriptions of recent borings are provided in Appendix C of the attached Final Treatability
Study Work Plan, March 2001.
Cross Section: See attached figure.

H. MONITORING PROCEDURE
Provide plans for proposed location and construction details of groundwater monitoring well
network, including a schedule for sampling and analytical methods. Include any
modeling/testing performed to investigate injectant's potential or susceptibility to change
(biological, chemical or physical) in the subsurface.
Monitoring well network:
See Figure 4-2 and Table 4-1 of the attached Final Treatability Study Work Plan for location and
description of the current monitoring well network which will be used during the Treatability Study.
Construction details are described in Section 4.2.2.1.
Schedule for sampling:
Baseline sampling will be conducted prior to the injection of the HRC, and then at 6, 12, 18, 24, 36,
and 48 weeks after HRC injection, as described in Section 4.2.2.2 of the Final Treatability Study Work
Plan.
