GEOTECHNICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS CONSULTANTS 6004 PONDERS COURT PHONE (864) 288-1265 GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA 29615 FAX (864) 288-4430 December 22, 2014 Underground Injection Control Program Division of Water Resources 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 Attention: Mr. Mike Rogers Subject: Injection Plan for the 2015 Calendar Year UIC Permit No. WI0100106 Former Andrex Industries Facility 180 Deaverview Road Asheville, North Carolina BLE Project Number J14-1022-38 Groundwater Incident Number 6586 Brownfields Project Number 07022-03-11 Dear Mr. Rogers: Bunnell-Lammons Engineering, Inc. (BLE) is pleased to submit this injection plan for the 2015 calendar year. This document is prepared in response to an email request dated December 17, 2014 from the NCDENR. The requirements for the contents of this document were discussed in several emails between Mr. Andrew Alexander of BLE and Mr. Rogers, Mr. Landon Davidson, and Mr. Andrew Moore of the NCDENR. As discussed in our emails, BLE has completed the final sampling event (150 day) for the 2014 injection project at Andrex and have recently received the lab data. Recall that we installed one injection well (IW-2) in 2014 and injected and monitored in the IW-2 area per the approved monitoring matrix. BLE is preparing an interim evaluation report and an annual monitoring report for 2014 which will be issued in the 1st quarter of 2015. Milkco and BLE are currently planning for injection in the 2015 calendar year. We are planning to install injection wells IW-1 and IW-3 in 2015 based on the 2014 results. However, the injection wells need to be moved from their permitted locations (about 100 lateral feet for IW-1 and 125 lateral feet for IW-3). Additionally, these wells need to be installed to shallower depths (60 feet bgs vs 85 feet bgs) to remediate the upper groundwater. Please note that we are not proposing a change to the approved injection well construction specifications. The monitoring matrix must be modified so that remediation in these areas can be adequately monitored based on the new injection well locations. No change is planned to the previously approved 30, 90, and 150-day monitoring frequency. It was agreed in the aforementioned emails that BLE would prepare revised tables, map, profiles, and proposed construction diagrams which illustrate the changes for the 2015 calendar year. Injection Plan for the 2015 Calendar Year December 22, 2014 Former Andrex Industries, Asheville, North Carolina BLE Project Number J14-1022-38 2 Injection Zone Illustrations The Proposed Injection Well Plan (Figure 2) has been modified to include an illustration of the actual installation location of injection well IW-2 and monitoring well MW-44 (both installed in 2014). The figure also shows the planned relocation of injection well IW-1 and IW-3 in 2015. This figure has been modified to include the results of the 2014 annual groundwater sampling event (report pending). The Hydrogeologic Profiles of the Affected Area (Figure 3) has been modified to include an illustration of the actual installation location and depth of injection well IW-2 (installed in 2014). The figure also shows the planned relocation and depths of injection well IW-1 and IW-3 in 2015. Please note that these injection wells now target the contaminated upper groundwater in the source area. Please note that the actual locations and depths of the proposed injection wells will be determined in the field based on site access and observed hydrogeology (water bearing fractures, depth to bedrock and groundwater, etc.). This figure has also been modified to include the results of the 2014 annual groundwater sampling event (report pending). Well Installation Plan The Well Installation Plan (Table 2) has been modified to document installation of IW-2 and MW- 44 in the 2014 calendar year and to show planned installation of in IW-1 and IW-3 in the 2015 calendar year. Additionally, the installation schedule for 2016 through 2018 has been cleared since we now anticipate adjusting the future installation schedule based on results from the prior year and on available project budget. Injection Schedule The Injection Schedule (Table 3) has been modified to document injection in IW-2 in the 2014 calendar year and to show planned injection in IW-1 and IW-3 in the 2015 calendar year. Additionally, injection schedule for 2016 through 2018 has been cleared since we now anticipate adjusting the future injection schedule based on results from the prior year and on available project budget. Injection Monitoring Plan Matrix The Injection Monitoring Plan Matrix (Table 4) has been modified to designate injection in IW-1 and IW-3 and to include the associated monitoring in those specific injection areas during the 2015 calendar year. Those wells are demarcated on the table with bold red text. Please note that monitoring is not performed in areas where injection is not occurring. Monitoring will occur on an annual basis for all wells and surface water points as required. The table has also been modified to include the requirement for semi-annual surface water monitoring of BC-1 and JW-1 as specified in the UIC permit. Injection Plan for the 2015 Calendar Year December 22, 2014 Former Andrex Industries, Asheville, North Carolina BLE Project Number J14-1022-38 3 Injection Well Construction Diagrams Injection well construction diagrams for IW-1 and IW-3 (Appendix A) have been prepared based on anticipated subsurface conditions. Please note that the actual depths of the injection wells will be determined in the field based on observed hydrogeology (water bearing fractures, depth to bedrock and groundwater, etc.). The proposed construction is in accordance with the previously approved construction specifications in the permit. Closing We appreciate the opportunity to work with you at the subject site. We look forward to receiving NCDENR approval of the injection plan for the 2015 calendar year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate contacting us at (864) 288-1265.
