This Plan summarizes protocols for identifying and assessing private water supplies in the vicinity of the Project. Randolph County documented locations and characteristics of private water supplies directly adjacent to the Project boundary and will offer water quality and yield testing for all water wells located within 500 feet of the Property boundary as described herein. Several wells have already been tested by the County. This Plan discusses the outreach methodology that will be followed and the general plan for testing. Private wells that will be offered water quality and quantity testing within 500 feet of the GRMS property boundary are summarized in Table 1 ("Eligible Wells"). Prior to construction, the private water supply owners will be contacted by Randolph County via certified mail to offer water quality and quantity testing for the property owner's Eligible Wells if the property owner elects to participate in such testing by completing an enclosed Water Sample Application, the form of which is included as Appendix A. Field confirmation of private water sources began in 2018 but has not been completed on some parcels because property access permission has not been granted. Landowners must approve access to the properties when crews arrive for testing to be eligible; withholding approval to access the property for sampling will be considered a measure for opting out of testing. 2.0 IDENTIFYING WATER RESOURCES 2.1 Private Wells and Springs Private wells located within 500 feet of the GRMS property boundary were identified by desktop review. As part of the desktop review for Eligible Wells an indirect method was employed to identify potential private wells. GIS data taken from the various counties were used to identify if a structure was present on the parcel. To maximize the potential for identifying private water resources all structures were assumed to have one or more private wells. As discussed in this Plan, the property owners identified by desktop review with Eligible Wells will be contacted by Randolph County prior to construction via certified mail to offer water quality and quantity testing for the property owner's Eligible Wells. A property owner elects to participate in such testing by completing the enclosed Water Sample Application. A property owner must return the completed Water Sample Application in accordance with the directions set forth in the letter on or before January 31, 2022 in order to receive the free water testing from Randolph County ("Participating Wells"). 3.0 WATER RESOURCE EVALUATION The following discussion outlines protocols water supply testing activities. The testing results will be documented by Randolph County and provided directly to the water supply owner. 3.1 Private Water Supplies 1. Randolph County will offer baseline and post- construction quality and yield testing for all Eligible Wells. Randolph County plans to collect one sample before the potential for 2 •• PROTECTED %i1t5is;n construction related impacts to water quality and a second sample three to six months post construction and conduct a well yield test for those property owners that elect to participate in the services as described herein. 2. All private property owners with Eligible Wells will be contacted prior to construction as discussed below: a. Send notification letter by mail to mailing address listed for the property owner on Table 1; b. A property owner must return the completed Water Sample Application in accordance with the directions set forth in the letter on or before January 31, 2022 in order to receive the free water testing from Randolph County. c. After the deadline, the standard fee for water samples will apply. The parameters being analyzed at this time may not be available after the deadline. d. If no response is provided by property owner by the January 31, 2022 deadline then Randolph County will assume the property owner declines permission to conduct free water quality testing. This coordination will be documented and the Project will suspend further contact with the property owner regarding water quality testing; 3. The property owner must complete the Water Sample Application, which grants property and water supply access approval for Randolph County, and return by the applicable deadline. 4. A field crew will be deployed to collect water samples at the identified locations, and will collect such samples so long as the requirements for collection outlined in the letter are met. If the property owner does not comply with the requirements (e.g. access to the well, no vicious animals, functioning pump) for the field crew to collect the sample, then the property owner automatically waives the election to participating in the testing services. 5. The sampling location coordinates will be collected using GPS (1-meter resolution) and recorded. 6. Field testing, sample collection and sample management techniques will be implemented consistent with industry standards and approved guidance (U.S. EPA and North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality). 7. For water well testing, a water sample will be collected from a flowing spigot (after a minimum of 10 minutes purging) upstream of any treatment system (if applicable) in order to collect a raw water sample in the appropriate laboratory -prepared sample bottle with appropriate preservatives. Field parameters will be analyzed at the time of water sample collection. a. If the well does not have a pump installed, or does not demonstrate artesian flow, there will be limited ability to complete the testing described in this plan. 8. Water samples will be kept cool and transported to the analytical laboratory(ies) under Chain of Custody. 9. The water quality testing will include groundwater quality standards for Bacteriological, Inorganic Chemical, Volatile Organic Compounds, Pesticides, Metals, Turbidity, and Total Dissolved Solids (15A NCAC 02L .0202 GROUNDWATER QUALITY STANDARDS) and the USEPA drinking water testing methods EPA 524.2, EPA 525.2, respectively, and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in EPA SW846 8015C. a. The pre and post -construction sampling events will be comprised of the same tests per the groundwater quality standards unless there is a concern noted by the property owner, or if there is a verified detection of a VOC or SVOC or TPH from the first sampling event. b. National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP)- accredited laboratories will be utilized for water sample analyses. These analyses must be 3 •• PROTECTED %i1t5is;n performed by laboratories that are also currently certified for these testing methods by NCDWR. 10. Water resources testing activities (including the condition of the water resource and equipment) will be photo -documented. All field activities and meter calibration for each water resources sampling event will be documented. 11. The first pre -construction sampling event provides an opportunity to evaluate the condition of each well, surrounding topography, land characteristics/land-use, and generally assess the overall vulnerability of the water supply to existing or future sources of impact. 12. Randolph County will provide the water supply owner with the water supply testing results. Concurrent with providing the owner these results, the County will discuss with the owner any conditions that observed at the water supply that represent potential for existing or future sources of impacts. 13. The second sampling event will also include well yield testing. The water supply owner will be apprised of the well yield testing procedure, and Randolph County will request permission to access the well for the quantity testing, at the owner's discretion. This testing will be performed under the supervision of a NC licensed geologist or engineer. 14. Randolph County will consult with an owner who appears to have a compromised water supply based on pre -construction sampling results. The Project will tailor an evaluation protocol for the second round of water quality testing as appropriate to evaluate the integrity of the water supply and ensure a comprehensive pre and post construction assessment is completed. 4.0 POST -CONSTRUCTION BASELINE WATER RESOURCE TESTING Randolph County will conduct post -construction testing for Participating Wells. Randolph County will follow the same procedures described above for water supply sampling. The Project will provide the post -construction monitoring results directly to the property owner. Randolph County will maintain water supply contingency planning efforts through the construction period and until final land reclamation is completed. 5.0 COMPLAINT RESOLUTION PROCESS If a claim of impact is made by a private well owner, a thorough investigation of the alleged impact will be conducted by qualified groundwater and surface water scientists and engineers using industry standard hydrogeologic investigative practices. This will include a review of the timing of the claim relative to the construction schedule, detailed interview with the supply owner, mechanical evaluation of the water system, possible resampling and analysis of the supply, performance of a hydrogeologic assessment, and other pertinent evaluations. Because each water supply system and hydrogeologic setting is unique, the only means to establish a clear link between a water supply quality or quantity issue and Project activities is through a comprehensive evaluation leading to complaint resolution. If the Randolph County Health Department determines that an impact was related to construction of the GRMS, then the investigations described above will provide valuable information concerning the appropriate remedies. Restoration of a water supply could include: • temporary supplied water until the water quality returns to baseline; • connection to secondary source, if available; and/or • temporary treatment to establish baseline quality (or better). 4 •• PROTECTED %i1t5is;n If the hydrogeologic assessment indicates that a long-term solution is needed, the following remedies as appropriate may be used to restore water quality and quantity to pre- construction conditions: • a new on -site source (new water well); or a combination of source replacement and treatment options; or • connection to the City of Greensboro's water supply system. 6.0 REFERENCES National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP), 2016. http://www.nelacinstitute.org/content/NELAP/index.php 5 •• PROTECTED %i1 t5i• ;n Tables Table 1.

Well Test for Yield 12 15A NCAC 02C .0110 WELL TESTS FOR YIELD (a) Every domestic well shall be tested for capacity by one of the following methods: (1) Pump Method (A) select a permanent measuring point, such as the top of the casing; (B) measure and record the static water level below or above the measuring point prior to starting the pump; (C) measure and record the discharge rate at intervals of 10 minutes or less; (D) measure and record water levels using a steel or electric tape at intervals of 10 minutes or less; (E) continue the test for a period of at least one hour; and (F) make measurements within an accuracy of plus or minus one inch. (2) Bailer Method (A) select a permanent measuring point, such as the top of the casing; (B) measure and record the static water level below or above the measuring point prior to starting the bailing procedure; (C) bail the water out of the well for a period of one hour or longer; (D) determine and record the bailing rate in gallons per minute at the end of the bailing period; and (E) measure and record the water level after stopping bailing process. (3) Air Rotary Drill Method (A) measure and record the amount of water being inj ected into the well during drilling operations; (B) measure and record the discharge rate in gallons per minute at intervals of one hour or less during drilling operations; (C) after completion of the drilling, continue to blow the water out of the well for 30 minutes or longer and measure and record the discharge rate in gallons per minute at intervals of 10 minutes or less during the period; and (D) measure and record the water level after discharge ceases. (4) Air Lift Method. Measurements shall be made through a pipe placed in the well. The pipe shall have an inside diameter of at least five -tenths of an inch or greater and shall extend from top of the well head to a point inside the well that is below the bottom of the air line. (A) Measure and record the static water level prior to starting the air compressor; (B) Measure and record the discharge rate at intervals of 10 minutes or less; (C) Measure and record the pumping level using a steel or electric tape at intervals of 10 minutes or less; and (D) Continue the test for a period of one hour or longer. (b) Public, Industrial, and Irrigation Wells. Every industrial or irrigation well and, if required by rule adopted by the Commission for Public Health, every well serving a public water supply system upon completion shall be tested for capacity by the following or equivalent method: (1) The water level in the well to be pumped and in all observation wells shall be measured and recorded prior to starting the test. (2) The well shall be tested by a pump of sufficient size and lift capacity to test the yield of the well, consistent with the well diameter and purpose. (3) The pump shall be equipped with throttling devices to reduce the discharge rate to approximately 25 percent of the maximum capacity of the pump. (4) The test shall be conducted for a period of 24 hours or longer without interruption and, except for wells constructed in Coastal Plain aquifers, shall be continued for a period of four hours or longer after the pumping water level stabilizes. (5) The pump discharge shall be set at a constant rate or rates that can be maintained throughout the testing period. If the well is tested at two or more pumping rates (a step-drawdown test), pumping at each pumping rate shall continue to the point that the pumping water level declines no more than 0.1 feet per hour for a period of four hours or more for each pumping rate, except for wells constructed to Coastal Plain aquifers. In wells constructed in Coastal Plain aquifers, pumping at each pumping rate shall continue for four hours or longer. (6) The pump discharge rate shall be measured by an orifice meter, flowmeter, weir, or equivalent metering device. The metering device used shall have a calibration accuracy within plus or minus five percent of a known standard. (7) The discharge rate of the pump and time shall be measured and recorded at intervals of 10 minutes or less during the first two hours of the pumping period for each pumping rate. If the pumping rate is constant after the first two hours of pumping, discharge measurements and recording may be made at longer time intervals not to exceed one hour. (8) The water level in each well and time shall be measured and recorded at intervals of five minutes or less during the first hour of pumping and at intervals of 10 minutes or less during the second hour of pumping. After the second hour of pumping, the water level in each well shall be measured at such intervals that the lowering of the pumping water level does not exceed three inches between measurements. (9) A reference point for water level measurements shall be selected and recorded for the pumping well and each observation well to be measured during the test. All water level measurements shall be made from the selected reference points, which shall be permanently marked. (10) All water level measurements shall be made with a steel or electric tape or equivalent measuring device. (11) All water level measurements shall be made within an accuracy of plus or minus one inch or to 0.1 foot. (12) After the completion of the pumping period, measurements of the water level recovery rate in the pumped well shall be made in the same manner as the drawdown for a period of two hours or greater.
