roadway. Any dirt which may collect on the roadway pavement from equipment and/or truck traffic on site shall
be immediately removed to avoid any unsafe traffic conditions.
SC88 The utility shall be installed within 5 feet of the right of way line and outside the 5-foot minimum from travel lane
plus theoretical 2:1 slope from the edge of pavement to the bottom of the nearest excavation wall for temporary
shoring. If the 2:1 slope plus 5 feet requirement above is met for traffic, then temporary shoring is typically only
necessary to protect roadways from damage when a theoretical 1:1 slope from the edge of pavement intersects
the nearest excavation wall. This rule of thumb should be used with caution and does not apply to all subsurface
conditions, surcharge loadings and excavation geometries. Situations where this 1:1 slope is not recommended
include groundwater depth is above bottom of excavation or excavation is deeper than 10 feet or in Type B or C
soils as defined by OSHA Technical Manual. Temporary shoring may be avoided by locating trenches, bore pits,
and other excavations far enough away from the open travel lane, edge of pavement and any existing structure,
support, utility, property, etc. to be protected. Temporary shoring is required when a theoretical 2:1 slope from the
bottom of excavation will intersect the existing ground line less than 5 feet from the outside edge of an open
travel lane as shown in the figure below or when a theoretical 2:1 slope from the bottom of excavation will
intersect any existing structure, support, utility, property, etc. to be protected.

c. Under fully controlled access roadway installations, the minimum depth for transverse crossings shall be 15
feet under any pavement (ramps or thru lanes)
d. An overbore (backream diameter) shall not be more than 1.5 times the outside diameter of the pipe or
encasement under any highway for pipes 12 inches in diameter or less. For pipes with outer diameter larger
than 12 inches, the overbore may be no larger than outer diameter of pipe plus 6 inches. An overbore
exceeding 1.5 times greater than the outside diameter of the pipe or encasement may be considered if the
encroachment agreement includes a statement signed and sealed by a licensed North Carolina Professional
Engineer indicating that an overbore in excess of 1.5 times the outside diameter of the pipe or encasement
will appropriately arch and no damage will be done to the pavement or sub -grade.
e. Directional boring is allowed beneath embankment material in naturally occurring soil.
f. Any parallel installation utilizing the directional boring method shall be made at a minimum depth of five (5')
feet (cover) below the ground surface and outside the theoretical 1:1 slope from the existing edge of

Ms. Kristen Spirakis, PE

Jacksonville, NC 28540
Subject: Request for Right of Way Encroachments in Pender County
Dear Ms. Spirakis,
On behalf of our client, The Chemours Company FC, LLC, (Chemours), Geosyntec Consultants
of NC, P.C. (Geosyntec) has prepared this request for Right of Way (ROW) encroachments at
multiple locations in Pender 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-b 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.
Figure la — 1 temporary well on Wallace Airport Rd, Pender County, NC 28478
Figure lb — 1 temporary well on N Sunset Rd, Pender County, NC 28421
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 temporary 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. Temporary monitoring wells will be abandoned in accordance with well abandonment
regulations.
Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. Please contact me at (919) 424-1824 or
mschottggeosyntec.com if you need any additional information or have any questions.
Sincerely,
Michael Schott, PE, PMP
