(Geosyntec) has prepared this request for a Right of Way (ROW) encroachment at one location in Columbus County. Installation of environmental groundwater monitoring wells along with soil and groundwater sampling is proposed as directed by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). Specifically, Chemours is requesting encroachment agreements to install three (3) permanent monitoring wells on NC Route 905 between Bug Hill and Pireway Townships, shown in Attachment 1. The location shown on the figure may be moved up to 10 feet during drilling to accommodate conflicts with existing utilities and/or access issues with the drill rig. A completed Standard Encroachment Plan Checklist, typical well plans and construction details, a completed VCER-1, and a signed Encroachment Agreement Form are attached to this application (Attachments 2-5). The proposed permanent monitoring wells will be installed by a North Carolina -licensed driller under the direction of Geosyntec. Wells will generally be constructed as shown in the schematics and plans in Attachment 3 and in accordance with applicable well construction regulations. The final well locations depend on the presence of existing utilities and other possible obstacles to the safety of drilling activities and field crew members. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. Please contact me at (919) 424-1824 or mschott��geosyntec.com if you need any additional information or have any questions.

(Geosyntec) has prepared this request for Right of Way (ROW) encroachments at one location in Columbus County. Installation of environmental groundwater monitoring wells along with soil and groundwater sampling is proposed as directed by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). Specifically, Chemours is requesting encroachment agreements to install the monitoring wells at the following approximate locations listed below and shown in Figures 1 a-d of Attachment 1. Locations shown on figures may be moved up to 10 feet during drilling to accommodate conflicts with existing utilities and/or access issues with the drill rig. a) Figure 1 a — 1 temporary well on Jockey Road, Hallsboro, NC 28442 b) Figure lb — 1 temporary well on New Britton Hwy E., Nakina, NC 28455 c) Figure 1 c — 3 permanent wells on Carver Moore Rd, Hallsboro, 28450 d) Figure I — 1 temporary well on Intersection of Miller Rd and Ramsey Ford Rd, Bug Hill Township, NC 28455 A completed Standard Encroachment Plan Checklist, typical well plans and construction details, a completed VCER-1, and a signed Encroachment Agreement Form are attached to this application (Attachments 2-5). The proposed permanent monitoring wells will be installed by a North Carolina -licensed driller under the direction of Geosyntec. Wells will generally be constructed as shown in the schematics and plans in Attachment 3 and in accordance with applicable well construction regulations. The final well locations depend on the presence of existing utilities and other possible obstacles to the safety of drilling activities and field crew members. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. Please contact me at (919) 424-1824 or mschott(&,geosyntec.com if you need any additional information or have any questions.
