(Geosyntec) has prepared this request to install temporary monitoring wells in the Right of Way (ROW) at multiple locations in Brunswick County. Installation of temporary 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 to install temporary monitoring wells at the approximate locations listed below and shown in Figures 1 a-c 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 1 a — 1 temporary well, St. Phillips Rd, Winnabow, NC 28479 • Figure lb — 1 temporary well, Corner of Big Neck Rd NW and Mill Branch Rd NW, Ash, NC 28420 • Figure 1 c —I temporary well, Prospect Rd NW, Supply, NC 28462 The proposed temporary monitoring wells will be installed by a North Carolina -licensed well contractor under the direction of Geosyntec. Wells will generally be constructed as shown in the schematics and plans in Attachment 2 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, following sampling and receipt of data. Wells are anticipated to be abandoned within 4-6 weeks of installation. 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 for multiple locations in Brunswick 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 a permanent monitoring well at the approximate location listed below and shown in Attachment 1. Locations 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. • Figure 1 — 3 permanent wells, Green Hill Rd, Leland, NC 28451 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.
