1.0 WATER RESOURCES IDENTIFICATION AND TESTING PLAN
Randolph County prepared and will execute the terms of this Residential Well Testing and Complaint
Resolution Plan (Plan) in connection with the Greensboro Randolph Megasite (Project) to document
baseline and post- construction water quality and quantity of privately -owned water supply systems.
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.

Appendix B. 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.
