Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring Report

Injection Well Permit#W10700012
PCS Phosphate Company,Inc.'
Tank Farm Remedial Action System
Dear Mr. Butcher,
Please see attached for the groundwater monitoring report associated with Injection Well Permit
#W10700012 and the Tank Farm Remedial Action Plan. This report includes the sampling and reporting
requirements of the above referenced permit as well as the reporting requirements of the Tank Farm Remedial
Action Plan. Enclosed are a) piezometer level monitoring field sheets, b) the operation and maintenance
reports, c) semi-annual lab analysis results of withdrawal wells.
The 3rd party certified lab is currently having issues with their method blanks for TDS analysis. In the results
section, yellow highlighted values are the TDS results that did not meet those requirements. Samples
highlighted in red were analyzed outside of the required hold time. Those locations are not permitted
monitoring wells,but part of our internal monitoring. The lab QC department reviewed analytical results and
concluded the reported results were acceptable with historical values in those sample locations.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at(252)617-5374 if you have any questions regarding this information.
Sincerely,

PCS PHOSPHATE-TANK FARM REMEDIAL ACTION PLAN
QUARTERLY OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE REPORT FOR THE INJECTION AND
WITHDRAWAL WATER WELLS
August 2023-October 2023
The Tank Farm Remediation System consists of a series of seven- (7) injection water wells located on the
south side of the Tank Farm Area and a series of fourteen (14) withdrawal water wells located on the north
side of the Tank Farm Area.
Infection Water Well System
The injection water well system is operated with mine depressurization water(DPW).
Daily operational data is collected by the Shipping Department and reported to the Environmental Affairs
Department. The total monthly and quarterly volumes of water injected as well as the month end water level
in the Water Level Control Tank are:

Good Morning Chandler!
I hope this email finds you well on this cold Wednesday morning.
So I have pulled the results sheet from that data set.
The qualifying note on the bench sheet is referring to the method blank associated with the analytical batch that the
particular sample was analyzed in.
When completing TDS analysis, a corresponding blank and standard must be ran to validate the method is being
performed accurately. During this particular analytical batch,the method blank fell outside of the parameters that are
specified in the method, resulting in the qualifying note.
I have looked through previous results for this sample and took the average for all of the samples I have archived results
for. Everything is in line with how it typically runs, so I would consider the data valid.
If you have any additional questions, please let me know. I am available by email or phone here at the office (252)756-
6208.
Thank you!
