Subject Summary of December 2015 Groundwater Monitoring
From Maureen Conorozzo and Savannah Hingtgen, AECOM
Date December 30, 2015
AECOM Technical Services of North Carolina, Inc. (AECOM) is submitting this memorandum on
behalf of Sealed Air Corporation to summarize groundwater activities conducted on December 3,
2015 at the Blue Ridge Tissue Corporation facility located at 1427 Yadkin River Road in Patterson
(Lenoir), North Carolina (Site).
AECOM gauged site monitoring wells MW-1 through MW-8 on December 3, 2015. Depth to
groundwater and groundwater elevation data, as measured during the December 2015 event, are
provided in Table 1. Groundwater elevations were similar to those measured during previous
sampling events. An analysis of groundwater flow direction will be provided in the annual
groundwater monitoring report.
Seven of the eight existing site monitoring wells were sampled during the December 2015
monitoring event; sampling was not required for well MW-5. Six of these monitoring wells (MW-1,
MW-3, MW-4, MW-6, MW-7, and MW-8) were purged and sampled using a peristaltic pump and
low-flow techniques. Monitoring well MW-2 was also purged and sampled using low-flow
techniques, but a bladder pump was used instead of a peristaltic pump as the depth to water in well
MW-2 (50.68 feet below top of casing) was beyond the limit of suction of the peristaltic pump.
During purging of each well, water quality measurements were collected to evaluate well
stabilization. Parameters pH, specific conductance, temperature, oxidation-reduction potential, and
dissolved oxygen were measured using a multi-parameter water quality meter (YSI ProPlus)
equipped with a flow-through cell, and turbidity measurements were collected using a portable
turbidity meter (Micro TPW). Once water quality parameters stabilized, a groundwater sample was
collected in laboratory provided pre-preserved sample containers, labeled, and placed on ice. The
groundwater samples were analyzed for total iron, total manganese, and total barium by Prism
Laboratories, Inc.
During a previous sampling event in August 2014, a slight sheen was observed in purge water
collected from MW-4. Therefore, purge water collected from MW-4 during sampling events
conducted since August 2014 (July 2015 and December 2015) was closely examined for the
presence of a sheen. No sheen was observed in either the July 2015 or December 2015 sampling
events.
AECOM 2
Analytical data for the December 2015 event is shown in Table 2, and the laboratory report is
provided in Appendix A. Consistent with data collected from previous sampling events, the
following summarizes the data collected during the December 2015 groundwater sampling event:
Total iron exceeded the Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2L
Groundwater Quality Standard (2L Standard) of 0.3 milligrams per liter (mg/L) in samples
collected from MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-4, and MW-6.
Total manganese exceeded the 2L Standard of 0.05 mg/L in samples collected from MW-
1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-4, and MW-6.
Total barium was detected in all of the wells sampled, however concentrations exceeded
the 2L Standard of 0.7 mg/L in samples collected from MW-2 only.
Background well MW-6 samples contained concentrations of total manganese that
exceed 2L Standards by 3 times. Total iron was detected slightly above the 2L Standard.
Samples from property boundary monitoring wells MW-7 and MW-8 continue to be well
within compliance of 2L Standards; total iron was not detected in either well.
A more comprehensive annual groundwater monitoring report is forthcoming.
Sincerely yours,
Maureen Conorozzo, PG Savannah Hingtgen
