(Energizer), ERM NC, Inc. (ERM) is providing additional information in response to your email request dated 30 June 2022 and our follow-up telephone conversation on 7 July 2022 regarding the subject Application for Permit to Construct and/or Use a Well(s) for Injection (Groundwater Remediation) package submitted in May 2022. Enclosed is a revised version of Figure 10 - Proposed ISCO Injection Location Map depicting the anticipated radius of influence for each sodium permanganate injection location. The estimated radius of influence for each injection point is 15 feet based on the results of previous in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) pilot testing and aquifer slug testing. The ISCO injection is proposed within the source area of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soil and groundwater at the Site. Migration of the injected sodium permanganate will be limited to within the VOC source area and the property boundary. Installation of six additional observation wells (OB-05 through OB-10) is proposed to enhance the existing well network to monitor the movement of the sodium permanganate within the nearby aquifer. This includes two additional observation wells than proposed observation wells noted in the original application. An updated version of Figure 11 depicting proposed groundwater observation well locations is also enclosed. Installation of one new proposed observation well, identified as OB-10 on Figure 11, is subject to limitations presented by active manufacturing operations. The proposed OB-10 well location is within a climate -controlled area densely occupied by battery manufacturing equipment and associated infrastructure. Well drilling activities and subsequent sampling activities may create safety hazards and operational difficulties for Energizer and ERM staff. The proposed OB-10 well location will be reviewed by ERM, Energizer and drilling contractor representatives at the time of planned drilling activities. Accessibility issues may prevent installation of the OB-10 well in a location suitable to monitor effects of the nearby sodium permanganate injection. The monitoring well network consisting of the existing and proposed wells will be adequate to evaluate the general effects of the injection. Updated versions of Attachment 6 - Well Construction Details and Attachment 7 - Monitoring Plan of the Application are also enclosed. One paper copy and a digital copy of this submittal will be provided via Page 1 of 2 8 July 2022 Page 2 of 2 overnight delivery service.

Pneumatic fracturing will not be conducted in the observation well boreholes. All proposed wells will be permanent points. A private and public utility locate will be completed prior to intrusive field activities. The injection well boreholes will be advanced using hollow stem auger methods with pneumatic fracturing as described in Attachment 5. Upon completion of the pneumatic fracturing, the boreholes will be enlarged using a hollow stem auger and converted to permanent injection wells. The observation wells will be installed via a hollow stem auger. All proposed wells will consist of 2-inch diameter Type II PVC wells with 0.010" slot polyvinyl chloride (PVC) screens installed. A filter sand pack will be used to fill the annular space between the borehole and the well to a level of two feet above the screened interval. The remainder of the annulus will be filled with a 5% bentonite powder/ 95% cement grout mixture to the surface. A protective manhole covers and locking well caps will be installed at each well location to complete the installation. See Figures 10 and 11 in Appendix A for the locations of each proposed and existing injection well and proposed observation wells. Groundwater Remediation Application Rev. 2-17-2020 Page 20 of 28 Attachment 7 — Monitoring Plan Per 15A NCAC 02C .0225(f)(11), submit a monitoring plan that includes the following: (A) target contaminants plus secondary or intermediate contaminants that may result from the injection; (B) other parameters that may serve to indicate the progress of the intended reactions; (C) a list of existing and proposed monitoring wells to be used; and (D) a sampling schedule to monitor the proposed injection. Monitoring wells shall be of sufficient quantity and location to detect any movement of injection fluids, injection process byproducts, or formation fluids outside the injection zone. The monitoring schedule shall be consistent with the proposed injection schedule, pace of the anticipated reactions, and rate of transport of the injectants and contaminants. Pneumatic Fracturing Using Nitrogen Gas Not Applicable — No monitoring required for the nitrogen injection. Sodium Permanganate Injection Remedial performance groundwater monitoring will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the remedy, to track radius of influence of the sodium permanganate inj ectant and to track changes in the overall contaminant mass distribution within the plume. Four additional observation wells are proposed to be installed in the vicinity of the treatment area to supplement the monitoring well network. A total of 18 wells are proposed to be utilized for performance monitoring at a frequency of 3, 6, and 12-month following the injection event. Baseline samples prior to the injection will be also collected. The following table summarizes the proposed monitoring plan. Figure 11 in Appendix A presents remedial performance monitoring well locations.

Groundwater Remediation Application Rev. 2-17-2020 Page 21 of 28 VOCs, including chlorinated ethenes and ethanes, and 1,4-dioxane will be analyzed at each performance sampling event and compared to baseline conditions prior to the injection event. Field parameters (conductivity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and oxidation reduction potential) will be collected to evaluate the dispersion of sodium permanganate. As manganese dioxide is the final byproduct of the reaction between VOCs and sodium permanganate, manganese will be analyzed to confirm attenuation.
