North Carolina Professional Engineer's Seal, Signature, and Date: Groundwater Remediation Application Rev. 2-17-2020 Page 8 of 8 ATTACHMENT 1 INJECTION ZONE 1.1 Previous ERD Injections 2019 ERD Pilot Test H&H conducted enhanced reductive dichlorination (ERD) pilot test activities at the former Knitronics Facility to evaluate the viability of using Terra Systems, Inc. (TSI) SRS®-SD Small Droplet Emulsified Vegetable Oil (EVO) Substrate to reduce PCE groundwater concentrations in the vicinity of the former wastewater treatment basin and to evaluate the use of SRS®-SD injection on a larger scale in other portions of the groundwater PCE plume. H&H submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a deemed permitted injection activity to the DEQ Underground Injection Control (UIC) group on January 9, 2019. DEQ issued Injection Permit WI0300400 for the pilot test. H&H conducted the ERD pilot test at the site between February 22 and 27, 2019. The pilot test was performed by injecting SRS®-SD into eight injection points near the former wastewater treatment basin (Figure 2). The SRS®-SD concentrate was mixed with water prior to injection at a ratio of 1:10 (SRS®-SD:water). A total of approximately 165 gallons of SRS®-SD concentrate (mixed with approximately 1,650 gallons of potable water), 17 liters of Terra ® SystemsÓ Dehalococcoides (DHC) bioaugmentation culture (TSI DC), and sodium bicarbonate for pH buffering were injected into the subsurface. Additionally, five gallons of anaerobic chase water were injected prior to and immediately after the SRS®-SD solution injection at each injection point location. The Remedial Action Plan (RAP) submitted on June 12, 2020 included the results of ERD pilot testing and a description of the design for the soil and groundwater remediation proposed for the site. For soil, the RAP proposed a source area soil vapor extraction (SVE) system to mitigate on- going contaminant contributions to groundwater via leaching from the overlying soil and to reduce the VOC mass that may contribute to vapor intrusion. The SVE system was installed and started up on January 17, 2022. For groundwater, treatment was proposed using two ERD 1 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc injection phases to reduce contaminant mass in the groundwater source area such that natural attenuation can proceed for the non-source/downgradient areas of the plume. The goal of the contaminant mass reduction is to reduce source area groundwater concentrations by an order of magnitude. The RAP was approved by the DEQ in a letter dated July 24, 2020. 2020 Phase I ERD From November 3, 2020 to November 21, 2020, H&H conducted Phase I ERD groundwater injection activities in accordance with the approved RAP and the October 2020 NOI to Construct or Operate Injection Wells. DEQ issued Injection Permit WI0300443 for the Phase I ERD ® injection activities at the site. The Phase I ERD event was performed by injecting TSI SRS-SD EVO Substrate into 40 injection points near the former wastewater treatment basin (Figure 3). The SRS®-SD concentrate was diluted in the field prior to injection using potable municipal water at a ratio of 1:10 (SRS®-SD:water). Approximately 50 pounds of sodium ascorbate was added to the water to render it anaerobic prior to injection. Additionally, approximately 85 liters ® of TSI DC, 2,545 pounds of sodium bicarbonate, and 2,545 pounds of calcium carbonate were injected to help augment the aquifer for ERD. Sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate were be added to the injection solution as a pH buffer to keep subsurface pH above 6 Standard Units. A total of approximately 825 gallons of SRS®-SD concentrate (plus 8,250 gallons on anaerobic dilution water) was injected into the subsurface. Additional, five gallons of anaerobic chase water was injected prior to and immediately after the SRS®-SD solution injection at each injection point to clear the injection well and piping, and push the substrate into the formation. 1.2 Proposed Phase II ERD Injection Zone For the Phase II ERP, H&H proposes to inject TSIÓs SRS§-SD EVO via injection points in additional areas of high chlorinated solvent concentrations at the site. The proposed injection well network extends from immediately upgradient of MW-6S for a distance of approximately 270 ft to the northeast to MW-9S. The proposed injection well network is approximately 130 ft wide. The objective of the injection is to reduce shallow chlorinated solvent concentrations in 2 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc this area, specifically targeting a 16-ft thick vertical zone starting at the water table which is typically approximately 28 to 30 ft below ground surface (bgs) and extending to approximately 44 to 46 ft bgs. Please note that due to the building foundation, the depth to groundwater beneath the building is approximately 4 to 5 ft deeper than outside the building. As a result, the interior injection points may be slightly deeper. Seventy-seven temporary injection points will be installed throughout the injection area. It is assumed that each injection well will affect an initial radius of influence (ROI) of approximately 20 to 25 ft. As such, the injection wells will be installed approximately 15 ft apart within rows and approximately 20 ft apart between rows. However, spacing will be modified near former pits, building walls, etc. The approximate locations of the injection points are shown on Figure 3. Additional construction details for the injection wells are provided in Attachment 6. TSI indicates SRS®-SD substrate can produce bio-available hydrogen for a period of 3 to 5 years depending on site conditions. Following the pilot test and Phase I ERD, H&H calculated the longevity of the SRS®-SD substrate to be approximately 3 years based upon first order exponential decay of aqueous total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations measured in source area well MW-9S. Using an estimated 3-year residence time and a groundwater velocity of approximately 5 ft/yr in the saprolite zone (see Section 2.2), the SRS®-SD injection zone may extend approximately 15 ft before it is consumed. However, the effects of the injection on groundwater geochemistry and concentrations may extend approximately 150 ft downgradient of the injection points. The anticipated injection zone is depicted on Figures 2, 3, 10, and 11. The monitoring plan outlined in Attachment 7 below will verify that no violation of groundwater quality standards resulting from the injection is occurring outside the injection zone. 3 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc ATTACHMENT 2 HYDROGEOLOGIC EVALUATION A description of the regional and site geology and hydrogeology is provided below. The summary provided below incorporates information obtained from published materials and field activities conducted during site assessment. 2.1 Regional Geology/Hydrogeology According to the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985), the subject property is located in the Inner Piedmont Belt of the Piedmont Physiographic Province of North Carolina. In the site area, underlying bedrock is composed of metamorphic rock consisting mainly of mica schist. The land surface of the area is generally characterized as gently sloping, which may become moderately steep where intersected by streams. In the Piedmont, the bedrock is overlain by a mantle of weathered rock termed saprolite or residuum. The saprolite consists of unconsolidated clay, silt, and sand with lesser amounts of rock fragments. Due to the range of parent rock types and their variable susceptibility to weathering, the saprolite ranges widely in color, texture, and thickness. Generally, the saprolite is thickest near interstream divides and thins toward streambeds. In profile, the saprolite normally grades from clayey soils near the land surface to highly weathered rock above the competent bedrock. The occurrence and movement of groundwater in the Piedmont is typically within two separate but interconnected water-bearing zones. A shallow water-bearing zone occurs within the saprolite, and a deeper water-bearing zone occurs within the underlying bedrock. Groundwater in the shallow saprolite zone occurs in the interstitial pore spaces between the grains comprising the saprolite soils. Groundwater in this region is typically under water table or 4 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc unconfined conditions. Groundwater movement is generally lateral from recharge areas to small streams that serve as localized discharge points. The occurrence and movement of groundwater in the underlying crystalline bedrock is controlled by secondary joints, fractures, faults, and dikes within the bedrock. On a regional scale, the direction of groundwater flow is typically from uplands to major streams and groundwater sinks which is similar to the saprolite groundwater flow direction. The saprolite has a higher porosity than the bedrock and serves as a reservoir that supplies water to a network of fractures in the bedrock. 2.2 Site Geology and Hydrogeology The geology below the site consists of three layers: the saprolite zone, the partially weathered rock (PWR) zone, and the bedrock zone. These geologic layers are interconnected and no confining units are present. The saprolite zone is characterized as described above. The PWR zone, also termed the transition zone, contains highly weathered bedrock that is typically characterized as a zone of high permeability. The bedrock zone is competent but fractured parent rock. The underlying bedrock is composed of mica schist at the site as previously discussed. Soils encountered at the site generally consist of red/brown to tan sandy silt to approximately 55 to 89 ft below ground surface (bgs). PWR was encountered at a depth of 55 to 89 ft bgs. Competent bedrock was not encountered during previous assessment activities, but it is likely present just below the PWR zone. Hard saprolite resulting in DPT refusal was encountered at approximately 40 to 45 ft below grade during the previous Phase I ERD and pilot test injections. Groundwater levels were most recently gauged in site monitoring wells on November 16, 2021. Depth to groundwater below top-of-casing for the shallow groundwater monitoring wells ranged from approximately 24.43 ft at monitoring well MW-5S to approximately 34.30 ft at monitoring well MW-6 (both wells downgradient of proposed injection area). Groundwater levels in deeper 5 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc monitoring wells ranged from approximately 22.33 ft in monitoring well MW-2D to approximately 30.70 ft in monitoring well MW-3D. An estimated shallow groundwater potentiometric map is provided as Figure 4, and an estimated deeper groundwater potentiometric map is provided as Figure 5. The groundwater flow directions in the shallow and deeper aquifers are generally to the east or east-southeast toward an unnamed tributary of Muddy Fork Creek located approximately 700 ft southeast of the southeast corner of the site (Figure 1). Monitoring well construction data and recent groundwater levels are summarized in Table 1. Four monitoring well pairs (MW-2S/MW-2D, MW-4S/MW-4D, MW-5S/MW-5D, and MW- 11S/MW-11D) are located at the site that provide an indication of vertical gradients (Table 1). Only well pair MW-11S/MW-11D is located in the source area near the former wastewater treatment basin. Utilizing the November 2021 groundwater elevation data, the vertical gradients for monitoring well pairs MW-2S/MW-2D and MW-11/MW-11D were upward and the vertical gradients for well pairs MW-4S/MW-4D and MW-5S/MW-5D were downward. During the Phase II Remedial Investigation (RI), aquifer characterization tests using rising head slug tests were performed to allow a determination of estimated groundwater flow velocity. Slug tests were performed in shallow wells MW-2S, MW-4S, and MW-5S, and in deeper PWR wells MW-2D, MW-3D, and MW-5D. A slug of water was removed from each well using submersible pump, and the water level recovery in the well was monitored using a water level data logger. The test data were analyzed using the Bouwer and Rice method. The results of the slug test analysis indicated calculated hydraulic conductivity values ranging from 0.19 ft/day to 0.39 ft/day for the shallow wells and from 0.79 ft/day to 18 ft/day for the PWR wells. The geometric mean of the hydraulic conductivity is approximately 0.35 ft/day for the saprolite aquifer and 3.1 ft/day for the PWR aquifer. A slug test summary sheets are included in Appendix A. 6 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc As presented in the Phase II RI, based on the shallow aquifer hydraulic gradient of 0.01 ft/ft, geometric mean hydraulic conductivity of 0.35 ft/day, and assumed effective porosity of 0.25, the calculated average groundwater velocity for the shallow aquifer is approximately 0.014 ft/day or about 5 ft/yr. Based on the PWR aquifer hydraulic gradient of 0.01 ft/ft, geometric mean hydraulic conductivity of 3.1 ft/day, and assumed effective porosity of 0.05, the calculated average groundwater velocity for the deeper PWR aquifer is approximately 0.62 ft/day or about 225 ft/yr. A summary table of hydraulic conductivities from the Phase II RI is included in Appendix A. 7 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc ATTACHMENT 3 INJECTANT INFORMATION 3.1 Fluid Composition This project will involve injecting SRS®-SD into the aquifer to stimulate in situ biodegradation. SRS®-SD is an emulsified vegetable oil substrate consisting on food grade soybean oil, lactate, nutrients, emulsifiers, and preservatives. It is designed to rapidly generate reducing conditions and provide carbon and hydrogen to support biodegradation of chlorinated solvents. SRS®-SD is an approved DEQ UIC injectant. The SRS®-SD concentrate will be mixed with water prior to injection at a ratio of 1:10 (SRS®- SD:water). Additionally, five gallons of chase water will be injected prior to and immediately after the SRS®-SD solution injection at each injection point location. The chase water clears the well and pushes the substrate into the formation; the chase water also limits the potential for biofouling of the injection well. The dilution water and chase water will be anaerobic through the addition of sodium ascorbate at a concentration of 0.7 grams per liter (g/L). A total of approximately 1,590 gallons of SRS®-SD concentrate mixed with approximately 15,900 gallons of potable water will be injected into the subsurface during the Phase II injection. Sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate will also be added to the injection solution as a pH buffer to help maintain subsurface pH above 6 SU. Approximately 13,100 lbs of sodium bicarbonate and 1,350 lbs of calcium carbonate will be mixed with the injection solution during the Phase II injection. ® TSI DC will also be added to the injection solution to bioaugment the aquifer. Approximately ® 164 liters of TSI DCwill be added to the injection solution during the Phase II injection. Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the various injection components are provided in Appendix B. 8 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc 3.2 Injection Rationale The goal of the proposed injection project is to stimulate in situ biodegradation of chlorinated solvents in near source area groundwater to increase the speed of natural attenuation. The constituents of concern (COCs) at the site are amenable to anaerobic biodegradation. The primary mechanism for natural attenuation of the COCs is reductive dechlorination. Reductive dechlorination is a process that is dependent on both an adequate supply of electron acceptors (chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons) and electron donors (natural organic carbon) (USEPA, 1998). During the process of reductive dechlorination, the chlorinated hydrocarbon is used as an electron acceptor (USEPA, 1998). As an electron acceptor, the chlorine atom is released and replaced by a hydrogen atom. As reductive dechlorination progresses, PCE is reduced to TCE, then to DCE isomers, then to vinyl chloride, and finally to the non-toxic endpoint ethene (USEPA, 1998). Depending on environmental conditions, the sequential first order degradation process may be limited by a lack of electron donors or may be interrupted by other mechanisms acting upon the degradation products (USEPA, 1998). Theoretically, all three isomers of DCE, cis-1,2-DCE, trans-1,2-dichloroethene (trans-1,2-DCE), and 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE) can be produced. However, under the influence of biodegradation, cis-1,2-DCE is the more common intermediate. The Phase II ERD will involve injecting and distributing SRS®-SD throughout the targeted treatment zone using DPT installed injection wells. The SRS®-SD provides a continuous source of dissolved organic carbon (i.e., fermentation products) to the native and injected microbial communities to stimulate microbiological consumption of oxygen and production of hydrogen. The hydrogen itself then drives the desired anaerobic biological metabolism of the target ® contaminants by the native and injected TSI DCmicrobes. Implementation of ERD bioremediation can also cause changes in the geochemistry of the aquifer. Secondary water quality can be degraded as a result of mobilization of formerly insoluble forms of metals (e.g., iron and manganese) that occur naturally in the aquifer. 9 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc Additionally, the metals are precipitated and immobilized downgradient of the treatment zone when conditions return to the background oxidizing state. Biodegradation of the injected SRS®- SD also results in increases in chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS), and sulfides that can affect taste and odor. The elevated levels of these parameters are typically observed in the anaerobic reactive zone, and levels typically return to near-background as substrate is consumed and groundwater migrates out of the treatment zone (AFCEE, 2004). Groundwater will be routinely monitored within and downgradient of the injection area to evaluate changes in groundwater geochemistry, as discussed in Attachment 7. Because the proposed injection activities are limited to the near source area, the geochemistry changes should pose no significant human or environmental health risks. The nearest supply well (WSW-1) is located approximately 800 feet southwest and upgradient of the injection zone (Figure 2). This well is monitored annually as part of the ongoing monitoring program for the site. The nearest off-site surface water body is an unnamed tributary of Muddy Fork Creek located approximately 700 ft southeast of the site (Figure 1). 3.3 References USEPA. September 1998.

Injection points will generally be spaced approximately 15 ft apart within rows and approximately 20 ft apart between rows. However, spacing will be modified near former pits, building walls, etc. The substrate will be shipped to the site in 264-gallon intermediate bulk containers (IBC) totes. The SRS®-SD solution will be batch-mixed in a small, portable tank, and then pumped into the injection points utilizing an injection pump. The SRS®-SD concentrate will be mixed with water prior to injection at a ratio of 1:10 (SRS®-SD:water). During the injection process, pressures, flow rates and injected volumes will be measured with meters and gauges. A pressure gauge will be utilized to monitor and maintain the injection pressure at or below 35 pounds per square inch (psi), if possible, to mitigate/reduce hydraulic fracturing of the formation which could create preferential pathways and limit the effectiveness of the SRS®-SD pilot test. A general injection equipment schematic is provided as Figure 6. Based the 2020 Phase I ERD injection at the site, the anticipated average injection rate will be 2 gallons per minute (gpm) at an average of 28 pounds per square inch (psi). Using the anticipated injection rate, the average and maximum daily quantities of SRS®-SD to be injected are 1,000 to 1,500 gallons, respectively. During the injection process, mounding of the water table around the injection wells will be monitored by measuring the depth to water in nearby monitoring wells and comparing the readings with pre-injection measurements. Due to elevated cis-1,2-DCE concentrations near MW-9S, 4 injection points in this area will receive twice as much injectant, if possible. 11 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc Please note that some lateral displacement of groundwater (and dissolved contaminants) due to injection is possible. Displacement is relative to the injection radius of influence, which will vary from well to well. The plume displacement is not expected to be significant. The area of influence from each row of injection wells is anticipated to overlap and intercept the core of the plume, should it be displaced. 12 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc 13 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc ATTACHMENT 5 Fracturing is not proposed for this project. ATTACHMENT 6 WELL CONSTRUCTION DETAILS Seventy-seven temporary injection points will be advanced using direct push technology (DPT) drilling equipment to a depth of approximately 44 to 46 ft, depending on DPT refusal depth. A four-ft long, 1 3/4-diameter stainless steel sheath with a detachable drive point will be driven to inject in the proposed 16 ft depth interval. The injection interval will start near the top of the water table and extend downward. The rods and sheath will be retracted up the borehole at up to four ft intervals to allow injection of a predetermined volume of injectant through each four ft interval. This process will continue until the total 16 ft treatment interval is completed. Following each injection, the borehole will be abandoned with a bentonite-grout slurry. The concrete surface will be patched for injection points installed through the concrete slab in the building. No drill cuttings are expected. A temporary injection well diagram is provided on Figure 6. 14 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc ATTACHMENT 7 MONITORING PLAN 7.1 Baseline Monitoring H&H proposes to use the November 2021 comprehensive groundwater monitoring event to establish baseline conditions for the Phase II ERD injection. The November 2021 sampling event was the fourth quarter sampling event since the Phase I ERD injection. In November 2021, groundwater samples were collected from monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2S, MW-2D, MW-3S, MW-3D, MW-4S, MW-4D, MW-5S, MW-5D, MW-6S, MW-7S, MW-8S, MW-9S, MW-10S, MW-11S, and MW-11D. Field measurements, including dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), pH, specific conductivity, ferrous iron, and temperature, were recorded during purging activities at each of the monitoring well locations. Groundwater samples were submitted to a North Carolina certified laboratory for analysis of Contaminants of Concern (COC) VOCs by EPA Method 8260 and the natural attenuation parameter total organic carbon (TOC). Seven monitoring wells (MW-3S, MW-6S, MW-7S, MW-9S, MW-10S, MW-11S, and MW- 11D) were also analyzed for dissolved gases using RSK 175 and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals. The dissolved gas analysis was to check for ethene which provides evidence of complete PCE reduction. The metals analysis was to check for metal solubilization due to changes in geochemistry. Due to elevated compound concentrations near the source area, purge water generated during the groundwater sampling of monitoring wells MW-3S, MW-3D, MW-7S, MW-9S, MW-10S, MW- 11S, and MW-11D were containerized in a 55-gallon drum. In addition, based on relatively high prior detections, purge water from MW-5D and MW-6S also were drummed. A sample will be collected from the drum for waste disposal purposes. The drum sample was analyzed for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) VOCs and TCLP RCRA metals. The IDW 15 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc drum was characterized as non-hazardous water, profiled, and properly disposed at a permitted facility. November 2021 groundwater sample results are summarized on Table 2, and groundwater field parameters are summarized in Table 3. PCE concentrations detected in the shallow and deeper monitoring wells are shown on Figures 7 and 8, respectively. 7.2 Semi-Annual Performance Monitoring Based on the amount of groundwater data collected to date that indicate ERD is effectively treating the groundwater PCE plume, semi-annual post-injection performance monitoring will be conducted instead of quarterly monitoring. Semi-annual monitoring will start 3 months after the Phase II ERD injection. The semi-annual monitoring is a reduction over the quarterly monitoring proposed in the RAP. During the first post-injection semi-annual sampling event, groundwater samples will be collected from MW-3S, MW-4S, MW-4D, MW-5S, MW-5D, MW- 6S, MW-7S, MW-9S, MW-10S, MW-11S, and MW-11D. Please note that following the first post-injection semi-annual sampling event, downgradient monitoring wells MW-4S, MW-4D, MW-5S, and MW-5D will only be sampled during the annual sampling events. However, because the annual event will follow the first semi-annual event, these four downgradient wells will be sampled twice in the first year after the injection. A matrix showing the proposed injection performance monitoring is provided as Table 6. Field measurements, including DO, ORP, pH, specific conductivity, ferrous iron, and temperature, will be recorded during purging activities at each of the monitoring well locations. Groundwater samples will be submitted to a North Carolina certified laboratory for analysis of COC VOCs by EPA Method 8260, the natural attenuation parameter TOC, dissolved gases using RSK 175, and RCRA metals. For quality assurance purposes, one duplicate sample and one trip blank will also be submitted for analysis of COC VOCs by EPA Method 8260. 16 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc Every other semi-annual sampling event, or annual event, will include more comprehensive groundwater sampling data similar to the November 2021 baseline sampling event. Groundwater samples will be collected from the same monitoring wells sampled during the baseline sampling event and for the same parameter list as the baseline sampling event. For quality assurance purposes, one duplicate sample and one trip blank will also be submitted for analysis of COC VOCs by EPA Method 8260. After two years following the Phase II ERD injection, H&H will review the groundwater results to evaluate if additional injections are warranted to spot treat areas if significant concentration rebound is observed. Once concentrations have been reduced by the ERD injections by an order of magnitude or more or if conditions are stable, groundwater performance monitoring will be reduced to an annual basis. As previously noted, purge water from wells MW-3S, MW-3D, MW-7S, MW-9S, MW-10S, MW-11S, and MW-11D will be drummed and characterized for proper off-site disposal. H&H anticipates that the TCLP results will indicate that the drum can be managed as non-hazardous. 7.3 Reporting In accordance with the UIC permit, an Injection Event Record will be submitted to the UIC Program within 30 days of completing the Phase II ERD injection event. In addition, monitoring reports will be completed within approximately 90 days of each post-injection semi-annual sampling event. The monitoring reports will also serve as Remedial Action Progress Reports (RAPRs). The first monitoring report will summarize the first post-injection semi-annual groundwater data, Phase II ERD injection activities, management of wastes, manifests, well construction completion records, laboratory analytical data, and other documentation of the Phase II ERD implementation activities. Laboratory analytical data will include the laboratory results, QA/QC results, and chain of custody documentation. Please note that the reports may also include SVE data for recently installed system. The monitoring reports will be prepared under the supervision of a NC Professional Engineer or Licensed Geologist. 17 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc The monitoring reports will be utilized to evaluate the continued reduction of VOC concentrations in groundwater in the Phase I ERD injection area and the effectiveness of the Phase II ERD injection. After one to two years following the Phase II ERD injection, H&H will review the groundwater results to evaluate if additional injections are warranted to spot treat areas if significant concentration rebound is observed. 18 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc ATTACHMENT 8 WELL DATA TABULATION Available information on existing or abandoned on-site monitoring wells within the area of review of the injection wells that penetrate the proposed injection zone is provided in Table 1. 19 https://harthick.sharepoint.com/sites/masterfiles-1/shared documents/aaa-master projects/mohican mills - moh/moh-013 phase ii erd and sve o&m/phase ii injection/uic permit/erd_phaseii_injection_appr1.doc ATTACHMENT 9 MAPS AND CROSS-SECTIONS Site maps are included as Figures 1 through 5 and Figures 7 through 9.
