FOR THE BELOW, provide direct responses to each of the following items. Failure to do so may result in an automatic denial of approval from North Carolina Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS).
Required General Information
Division of Water Resources (DWR) UIC Program contact person and phone number.
Current or future use of site with site contact person, address (including physical address of site, if applicable), email address, and phone number.
Contractor applying product, contact person, address, email address, and phone number.
Distance and likelihood of impact to public or private wells used for drinking, industrial processes, cooling, agriculture, etc. Is area served by public water supply? If the request
is not site-specific, provide evidence showing the potential extent of impacts from injection of this product. Verification must be provided by the appropriate Regional Office of the
Public Water Supply Section.
General description of the contaminants if present in the soil and/or groundwater at the site. If products are unknown, list the contaminants for which the product is intended to remediate.
Name, approximate distance, and likelihood of impact to the nearest body of surface water to the site.
Approximate distance to nearest residence(s) and workplace.
Required Product/Process-Specific Information
Product manufacturer name, address, phone number, and contact person’s phone and email address.
Genus/species/strain of microorganism(s) contained in product.
Identity of specific ingredients* (including CAS#) and concentrations of ingredients contained in the product and purpose of each.
Documentation from authoritative technical that references the contaminants or class of contaminants the microorganism(s) can remediate. Provide a brief summary of the mechanism in
which the microorganism(s) will remediate these contaminants, listing degradation products and byproducts of remediation.
Documentation from authoritative technical references (i.e., Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology or other existing references) that
the microorganisms are not pathogenic to animals or humans. (Provide a brief summary of the referenced material as well as a copy of the referenced material.)
Documentation from authoritative technical references that the microorganism(s) are naturally-occurring in the immediate or similar environment. (Provide a brief summary of the referenced
material as well as a copy of the referenced material.) If the request is not site-specific, provide documentation on the natural environments of these microorganisms.
Documentation from authoritative technical references on how these microorganism(s) interact with naturally occurring microorganisms in the environment.
Documentation from authoritative technical references on the lifecycle of these microorganism(s) and under what nutrient and environmental conditions these microorganism(s) exist in
lag phase, log (exponential phase), stationary phase and death phase. Indicate which phase represents the optimal remediation conditions.
Documentation from authoritative technical references on what additional injectants are anticipated to be injected with these microorganism(s). Please provide specific ingredients of
these injectants.
Documentation from authoritative technical references of specific degradation products expected, and other injectants (if applicable) and byproducts of remediation. If degradation products
are unknown, list the degradation products for the contaminants for which the injectant is intended to remediate.
Documentation from authoritative technical references of expected migratory potential of microorganisms and other injectants (if applicable), and byproducts of remediation and
degradation products in soil and groundwater. Be specific to the conditions in which migration will occur.
Complete description of the use of the product at the site (e.g., application of the product to soil and/or groundwater, aeration of soil. Procedures needed to maintain growth and chemical
degradation).
Approximate concentration of each ingredient following release into soil or groundwater.
Approximate distance and direction of travel for product in groundwater, the groundwater concentration of each ingredient at this distance, and distance from this point to the nearest
drinking water source (that is currently used for drinking purposes). These should be reasonably accurate estimates based on best available information and calculations (modeling,
if necessary) regarding aquifer characteristics and flowpaths at the site; where uncertainty exists in critical aquifer parameters (e.g., effective porosity), conservative assumption
should be made in estimating these values so that worst-case predictions of travel distances are made. If the request is not site-specific, provide evidence showing the potential extent
of impacts from injection of this product and under what conditions that they occurred (i.e. reports from use at other sites this product has been used for the purposes of remediation).
Approximate groundwater concentration of each ingredient after pumping or recovery (if applicable).
If the product is expected to discharge to a nearby surface water, approximate concentrations of product in the water.
Send two copies of the risk assessment package (with attached CD or flash drive) along with any relevant documentation including MSDS sheets and product information to the UIC Program
contact person at the following address:
