Enclosed is that analysis. I had expected to run this analysis during the December 2000
sampling event, but there was a mis-communication with the lab and they ran the normal
analysis.
I hope you will agree that the analytical results show no significant contamination. The
only parameter showing a result above detection limits is toluene at a very low 1.5 PPB.
We do not use toluene and, to my knowledge, we never have used it. Please allow us to
cease monitoring and close the well.
If you need additional information, please contact me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Dickman:
As you requested, we have reviewed the need for continued monitoring at the subject

you requested the Division to consider possibly modifying the monitoring
requirements for the groundwater monitoring wells near the lagoons.
You have the Division's permission to properly abandon the monitoring well which
is located between the two lagoons. It would be likely that this well would be
destroyed during the earth moving activities in and around the lagoons. Please be
sure to use a certified well contractor to conduct the abandonment of the well.

Dear Mr. Barnhardt:

PEG. 0ra=1Cl=
National Mechanical Carbon has been required to monitor groundwater at wells
between and adjacent to two settling ponds that have been used under an NPDES
permit to discharge wastewater to a nearby creek (NPDES Permit # NC0060747).
National is a manufacturer of carbon products. Carbon parts were previously
made by wet machining with contact cooling water, but most manufacturing has
been converted to dry machining and the discharge has been eliminated. We are
planning to close the settling ponds in the near future. The question remains:
What about the monitoring wells?
We understand that the normal procedure would be to continue monitoring the
groundwater for one year after closure of the ponds. If this is to be the case, we'd
like to get that formally established. On the other hand, we request that you
review the groundwater sampling records already on file to determine whether
continued monitoring is necessary. The wastewater flowing through the ponds
and to the discharge point has consisted of city water (which flowed through) and
carbon particles (which settled in the first pond and will be removed during
closure for appropriate off -site disposal). The carbon sludge is basically inert. We
have conducted a full TCLP analysis to obtain landfill approval and a copy of the
results is attached. The results show non -detect levels of the RCRA contaminants
of concern. We currently monitor for pH, COD, TDS, TOC, chloride, specific
conductance and appearance. We suggest that there is no reason to believe that
the parameters being monitored would degrade after the carbon sediment is
completely removed and the land is regraded to eliminate the ponds.
I s ATIONAL
A Morgan/an AM&T Business

Our motivation in asking you to review the need for continued monitoring is the
fact that one of the wells is immediately between the ponds, in the berm that
creates the ponds, and it would be difficult to eliminate the ponds completely
without also eliminating that well. We could conceivably leave a mound
containing the well when we regrade the area to the natural grade; however, it
would be difficult to use heavy equipment to dredge and close the ponds without
disturbing the well.
Please review this situation and inform us of any continued monitoring
requirements. We expect to begin closing the ponds within a matter of weeks.
I can be reached at [phone].

Paul Rawls referred me to you with a question. We currently use
two settling ponds outside to remove carbon particulate from
wastewater from a wet grinding operation before discharging to a
creek under NPDES Permit # NC0060747. We are considering switching
the discharge to the local POTW. If we continued to use the
settling ponds for discharge to the POTW, would we have any
groundwater monitoring requirements? Our current NPDES Permit
requires periodic monitoring. We would terminate our NPDES Permit
so, if we did have groundwater monitoring requirements, what permit
or regulation would cover it? Results of past groundwater
analysis should be in your files.
Thank you for your help.

As you are aware, NECC has been pursuing the possibility of
eliminating the need for our settling pond, which at this time
discharges into Juniper Creek. Until this actually takes place I'm
continuing to monitor as scheduled.
As reports for chronic toxicity have shown we seem to have a
continuing problem passing. August was a pass and fail situation
with two different labs. September was another fail at the same
lab. October I split samples between the two labs again. If the
results are a pass at new lab I intend to switch labs.
I have received verbal approval from the City of Dunn to
discharge pre-treated water into the sewer system. Written
approval has also been requested. What does the state require to
formerly close the settling ponds? Does this facility need a
pretreatment permit since the Dunn POTW does not have a
pretreatment program?
I'm in the process of sending influent samples to Great Lakes
Environmental, 463 Vista, Addison, IL 60101.
These results along with flow estimates will enable Crocker &

Dear Mr. Vick:
On March 22, 1988 Ms. Kitty A. K. Kramer, Environmental Technician,
Fayetteville Regional Office met with you to discuss Morganite's plans
to begin using a new grinding agent in one of its processes machines.
The trade name for this grinding agent is Aluminum Oxide and the materi-
al will be mixed with water on a one to one ratio and fed into a grind-
ing machine. Wastewater from the grinding machine consisting of carbon
grindings and Aluminum Oxide will be discharged to the existing
wastewater treatment system. The existing wastewater system consists of
a 4-day detention time settling pond which discharges to Juniper Creek
class C-Swamp waters.
Since Morganite's proposals will constitute a change in the nature
of its existing wastewater discharge it appears that a permit modifica-
tion will be necessary. Therefore, please find enclosed a Short Form
"C" NPDES permit application. Complete the application, make three
copies and sign each copy. Submit three (3) copies of the permit
application, a permit processing fee of $150.00 and a cover letter that
fully describes what Morganite proposes to the following individual and
address: Arthur Mouberry, P.E.

mended that your facility begin investigating means for conducting
toxicity testing.

This is to notify you that the Mechanical Division of Morganite
Inc. is going to use a new grinding material in one of its
processes. This material is a grinding agent with the chemical
and trade name of Aluminum Oxide. The Aluminum Oxide will be
diluted with water on a one to one ratio. If this machine were
to run continuously for an eight hour shift, it would deposit
approximately 15 gallons of diluted Aluminum Oxide and carbon
grindings per day.
It is our intent to discharge this material into the settling
ponds. If there is any problem with this practice, please call
me, Benjy Vick, at [phone].
I have also enclosed a MSDS for Aluminum Oxide for reference pur-
poses.

As explained earlier, Morganite underwent personnel changes recently,
and as a result information concerning the monitoring wells was thought
to be unavailable. Just recently, while going through a set of files,
I found two monitoring well lab reports --one dated 2-9-87 and the other
3-30-87. With this information now available, I have decided to use
these two reports to complete the first quarter report for 19137 rather
than sampling again. If there is any problem with using these two re-
ports as opposed to taking a third sample, please notify me and the
appropriate action will be taken.
By the way, Morganite has made a formal job offer to an individual to
fill our vacant Environmental Engineering position. The individual
will start work within the next few weeks and as a result Morganite
will be back on the right track with our water monitoring. Please
bear with us until then.

Ref.: Morganite Wastewater Ponds
NPDES Permit #NCO060747
Per our conversation with Elizabeth Avants from the Fayetteville
Regional Office on October 14, 1906, we will be resampling for
Total Organic Carbon (TOG) at monitoring Wells #1 and #2 as
recommended by Elizabeth Avants. Levels were excessively high,
indicating some source of contamination. However, Enwright
Laboratories in Greenville, South Carolina conducted the analysis
for TOC, and they are claiming that their equipment for 'analyzing
TOC was malfunctioning; therefore, the samples were sent to
another source for a second opinion. The second source found
the levels to be within the same range of 140 and 35
respectively.
We will be resampling and forwarding the results to you
immediately.- We -appreciate your cooperation in -working with -us
on this matter.

Dear Mr.. Baird:
Reference is made to your letter subject as above and dated October 3, 1985.
More specifically you state that the ponds can be operated without a, synthetic
or man-made liner and that at this time you have no plans for lining these ponds.
The staff of this Regional Office has reviewed all of the existing data
relative to these ponds and we agree with your assessment and believe that,
presently, liners may not be needed.
However, ifs at any time, the analyses indicate that the monitor wells are
showing evidence of contamination a reevaluation of the adequacy of the ponds
will be necessary to determine if liners are needed.
Authorizing the use of these unlined ponds is predicated on the company's
assurance that the wastewater entering the ponds will contain only carbon.
No metals are to be either intentianal or inadventently introduced into the
wastewater.
If we can be of -any further assistance to you in this matter please don't
hesitate to call Mr. Bill Bright at 486-1541.

FROM Bill Bright

SUBJECT: Treatment Lagoons
Morganite Incorporated
Dunn, Harnett County
An investigation of subject site was conducted on January 16, 1985.
Overall, the site appears to be satisfactory, however before u permit is
issued, two conditions should be satisfied and they are as follows:
1. Construct two (2) monitor wells at sites already agreed upon with
Morgauite Teebnical Personnel.
2. Provide data to support the belief that the clay -liner will be
impermeable to an acceptable value.
The reasons that we feel the site is satisfactory are as follows:
1. Reportedly there are no nearby walls. All facilities including homes,
in the general area are on City of Dunn water.
2. •'Analyaos of the waste stream, although somewhat inconsistent; suggest
that no groundwater contamination is likely to occur.
3.r Groundwater supplies iu'the area are known to be very limited because
of the presence of thick clay sections underlying the area.
4. Quite probably the solids in the waste stream will tend to seal the
lagoons.
S. The lagoons are somewhat smbll in size and only about 4-5 feet deep.
If you need additional information or clarification, please advise.

The initial review of the subject project indicated the following items
that must be resolved before an Authorization to Construct can be issued:
1. Please provide an engineering report indicating how the waste
flow will be generated (identify each waste stream and its
volume), provide an analysis of the waste stream (analysis of
a similar operation in South Carolina will suffice), amounts of
oil and grease,emulsions, chelating agents, and general plans
for operation of the system.
2. Provide a soils report of the site indicating types of soils, depth
to rock or sand, height- of seasonal water table.
3. Will the ponds be lined with either compacted clay or with imper-
meable linings? If not, please support this use of no linings.
4. Please indicate the operating volume for the ponds. A free board
of two (2) feet should be provided.
5. Since metals are present in the waste stream, what is the anticipated
concentration in the ponds, what is to be done with settled sludges,
is there to be any pre-treatment before the wastewater reaches the
ponds, ph adjustments, coagulants, or coagulant aids?
6. Please provide a location map showing at least two (2) US or NC
roads or highway.
7. An Authorization to Construct cannot be issued until an NPDES permit
has been issued.

RE: Settling/Polishing,Ponds, Morganite, Inc., Harnett Co. (AC-0060747)
We have reviewed the project documents and Bill Bright's regional ground-
water -evaluation. We would have no objection to the project as proposed
given the following stipulations:
(1) Although the sludge will consist primarily of carbon fines, the
potential presence of metals, plus the somewhat permeable nature
of the sediments underlying the settling, sand, dictates that the'
in -situ soils comprising the bottom of this pond should be compacted
to the same 95% standard Proctor.density as proposed.
(2). Two monitor wells, constructed in accordance with the attached dia-
gram, should be constructed: The exact location and construction
details should be by approval of the Fayetteville Regional Office.
(3) The wells should be sampled, immediately, upon completion and every
March, July and November, thereafter, for the following parameters:

Gentlemen:
Soil & Material Engineers, Inc., has completed the authorized
subsurface exploration, laboratory testing and geotechnical engineering
evaluation of subsurface conditions at the referenced project site. The
purpose of this report is to the findings the investigation
present of with
recommendations for completion and activation of the settling pond structures.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Recent expansions to the Morganite, Inc., facility In Dunn, North
�-
Carolina involve the installation of wet carbon milling processes. Wastewater
from the milling processes contains primarily carbon cutting with other trace
metals. The maximum flow rate anticipated through the system is
approx!mately 26;000 gallons per day or 0,026 million gallons per day. The
settling pond system consists of two containment structures. Wastewater from
the milling processes discharges into the primary settling pond and
subsequently overflows Into the secondary or polishing settling pond. After
routing wastewater of flow through the two settling ponds, the wastewater
will be discharged into an adjacent creek which Is a tributary to the Cape
Fear River.
At the time of the subsurface exploration, the settling pond
structures had been partially completed in accordance with plans prepared by
Eskridge, Long E Associates, Inc., of Marlon, South Carolina. Although the
ponds had been excavated to finished grade and the earthfilled portions of
the dikes had been constructed, the overflow and outflow structures of the
settling pond system had not been constructed.
The settling ponds are located northeast of the new plant building
Immediately south and west of the tributary creek Into which outflow will be
discharged. As such, the settling ponds are partially within the fioodplaln of
the tributary creek. Original surface

ponds vary from about 97 feet at the southwest corner to about elevation 93
feet at the northeast corner of the settling .ponds. According to design plans
for the settling ponds, the bottom elevation of the ponds Is elevation 92 feet
and the top of the pond embankments is elevation 97 feet. The bottom
dimensions of both`ponds aro 30 feet by 100 feet. Interior slopes 'Vary from
about 2:1 to about 4:1 (horizontal to vertical). Exterior slopes of the
embankment fill sections are about 1.5 to 1 (horizontal to vertical). The
crest width of the settling ponds is 10 feet.
During the site Inspection on January 14, 1985, the primary
settling pond was observed to contain approximately 12 to 18 inches of water.
The secondary settling pond contained only a small amount of water (4 to 6
Inches). Highly organic silts, topsoil and peaty soils were observed in the
side slopes and bottom of the ponds where the excavations had extended into
natural ground In the lower elevation portions of the site. The site appeared
to have been poorly stripped prior to construction of the earthfill dikes and
there appeared to be a significant amount of topsoil and woody vegetation
within the exposed slopes of the embankment.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface conditions at the project site were Investigated with 6
soil test borings located approximately as shown on the enclosed Boring
Location and Site Plan (Figure 1). Soil test borings were extended to a
depth of 15 feet (about elevation 82 feet) below the existing top of
embankments.
Soil test borings were advanced by an ali-terrain-vehicle mounted
CME-550 drill rig turning large diameter hollow -stem augers. Soil test
borings were sampled and tested at selected intervals by the standard
penetration test procedure (ASTM D-1586).
Split -spoon samples obtained from standard penetration tests were
visually classified by a geotechnical engineer In accordance with the Unified
Soil Classification System. Laboratory classification tests were conducted on
representative samples to verify the visual classifications. In addition to
split -spoon samples obtained from standard penetration tests, a bulk bag
sample was obtained for laboratory compaction testing and undisturbed
(Shelby) tube samples were obtained for unit weight determination to evaluate
the degree of compaction achieved In the embankments. However, extraction
of the undisturbed samples revealed that the fill soils contained such a high
percentage of organic matter and were contaminated to such a degree that
unit weight determination tests could not be conducted.
Soil test boring data and classification Information have been
utilized to develop a generalized subsurface profile (Figure 2) to graphically
illustrate subsurface conditions existing at the site. More detailed
descriptions of conditions encountered at individual soil test boring locations
are presented In the attached Test Boring Records.

Soil test borings at the site typically reveal the presence of 1.5
to 4.0 'feet of silty fine to medium sandy clay (CL) embankment fill material
which is underlain by silty fine to medium sandy clay (CL), organic fine
sandy -slit (ML) or fine. sandy ;silty peat (Pt),_ clayey silty fine to. medium
sands (sc-sm), silty fine to coarse sands (S%V) and silty clay (CH).
Stratification of soils across the site are somewhat Irregular as a result of the
transition of the site into the floodplain of the adjacent tributary creek.
Standard penetration resistance values In the silty fine to medium
sandy clay embankment fill range form 4 to 11 blows per foot (bpf) indicating
that these materials have a soft to relatively stiff consistency,. The variation
in standard penetration resistance values and the overall low average value of
about 8 bpf Indicates that quality control during placement of these
embankment fill soils was Inadequate to produce a high quality soil
embankment section. In addition, the embankment fill soils contain a
relatively high percentage of topsoil and other organic debris.
Soil test borings B-1 through B-3 Indicate that a major portion of
the topsoil was apparently stripped from these areas prior to placement of the
embankment soil fill. Beneath the fill soil at these borings, virgin soils
consist of silty fine to medium sandy clay, silty clayey fine to coarse sand,
silty fine to coarse sand, and silty clay. At boring B-1, a 2.5 foot stratum
of silty fine to medium sandy clay exists beneath the fill and above the silty
clayey fine to coarse sand stratum. The standard penetration resistance
Ft value in this clay stratum Is 6 bpf. Beneath the clay stratum at boring B-1
and beneath the embankment fill soil at borings B-2 and B-3-, a stratum of
clayey silty fine to coarse sand extends to a depth of 6 feet (elevation 91.0
feet). Standard penetration resistance values In this clayey silty sand
stratum range from 3 to 25 bpf. Beneath the clayey silty sand stratum and
extending to the boring termination depth at boring B-1 and B-2, there
exists a silty fine to coarse sand exhibiting standard penetration resistance
values of weight -of -hammer MOM to 38 bpf. Boring B-3 was terminated in a
3 foot stratum of silty clay having a standard penetration resistance values of
2 bpf.
Soil test borings B-3 through B-6 Indicate that this portion of the
site was apparently not stripped of topsoil and highly organic peaty soils
a within the floodplain of the adjacent creek. immediately beneath the
embankment fill soil there exists a highly organic sandy silt or sandy silty
peat stratum approximately 2.5 feet In thickness. Standard penetration
resistance values in this stratum range from 4 to 11 bpf with an average of
about 7 bpf. Beneath this highly organic stratum, there exist clayey silty
i fine to coarse sands and silty fine to coarse sands having standard
penetration resistance values of 1 to 46 bpf.
Groundwater level measurements were made at each boring location
at the termination of drilling and again after a period of about 24 hours.
Groundwater levels at the termination of drilling were at depths of 11.8 to 6.8
feet below the top of the dikes (elevations 92.2,to 90.2 feet). After a period
of about 24 hours, the stabilized groundwater levels were found to be at
i depths of about 3.8 to 5.5 feet below the top of the dikes (elevations 93.2 to

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusions and recommendations set forth herein are based upon
an evaluation of subsurface conditions at the site as represented herein, an
understanding of requirements for wastewater impoundment structures, and
previous experience with similar projects and subsurface conditions. In the
event that the scope of the project should change from those presented
herein, Soil 6 Material Engineers, Inc., request that an opportunity be
provided to review these recommendations so that they can be confirmed,
modified, or extended as necessary.
Embankment Completion - The existing embankment fill soils are
poorly to mo erate y we compacted as evidenced by standard penetration
resistance values in the range of 4 to 8 bpf. Additionally, the embankments
must be raised a minimum of one foot to provide the minimum free -board
required by the State (minimum free -board is 2 feet).
Prior to placement of the additional one foot of -embankment fill,
the existing embankment fill soils- should be thoroughly compacted by several
passes of a sheen -foot roller pulled with a medium -size crawler tractor. In
order to achieve the desired compaction of 95 percent of the standard Proctor
maximum dry density, It may be necessary to reduce the moisture content in
the upper portion of the embankment by discing or otherwise aerating the
soil. in -place densification of the embankment soils should not be attempted
while the soil is frozen. Rubber -tired equipment should not be utilized on
the embankments since the existing moisture contents of the soils will likely
cause severe rutting and pumping of the In -place embankment soils.
After densifying the existing fill soils In -place, the additional one
foot of embankment should be constructed by placement of at least 2 thin lifts
of fill soil. The additional fill soil should be a sandy silty clay, silty sandy
clay, sandy clayey silt, or silty clayey sand having a Unified Soil
Classification of CH, CL, MH, ML, or SC. The selected fill soils should
contain a minimum of 20 percent fines (minus No. 200 sieve) and be free of
organics, topsoil or woody vegetation.
The additional embankment fill should be compacted with
sheep -foot roller to a minimum of 95 percent of the standard Proctor maximum
dry density. Field density tests should be conducted by a qualified soil
technician to verify that the desired degree of compaction has been achieved.
Although exterior slopes -of about 1.50 (horizontal to vertical) I
should provide an adequate factor of safety against slope failure, flattening

I�
the slopes to 2:1 (hcrizontal to vertical) or flatter will reduce potential
erosion and potential maintenance of the exterior slopes. The exterior slopes
m can be flattened by placement of additional fill and reworking the existing fill
slopes to provide a good bond between the in -place embankment and the
additional fill required to flatten the exterior slopes.
Pond Lining and Sediment Disposal - It Is our understanding that
chemical ana yses of wet milling process a fluents similar to those to be
discharged into the sediment ponds Indicate that the wastewaters are
non -hazardous and are not _potent detrimental to the qua ity of
g oun water. As suc we are o the opinion that the settlinq�pon scan e
o er-'ated without a synthetic or man -me Iineer. However, a minimum of two
g w
permanent groundwater min itorinells sho d be Installed within the Interior
embankment and between the ponds and tributary creek to monitor
groundwater quality on a regularly scheduled basis during operation of the
settling ponds.
W As in the case of the process effluent, the sediments collected
within the ponds are reportedly non -hazardous and non -toxic materials. As
such, these sediments may be removed from the ponds, dewatered by natural
drainage and placed in an acceptable landfill site. Dewatering of the
sediments can likely be accomplished on -site by stockpiling the materials
within an area enclosed by a high quality silt fence system during dry
periods of the year.
In the event that the process effluent is determined to contain
heavy metals or other materials outside the allowable discharge levels, the
settling_ ponds would have to be lined. Installation of a clay liner at or bMWW
i e groun water evel would likely be Impractical, if not Impossible.
Similarly, a sythetic liner would have to be weighted to resist uplift or
bouyancy forces created by the groundwater during periods when the ponds
are emptied for removal of sediments.

ENV. MANAGEMENT
FAYETTEVILLE REG. OFFICE
FROM: Bob Cheek efc-
RE: Settling/Polishing Ponds, Morganite, Inc., Harnett Co. (AC-0060747)
We have reviewed the project documents and Bill Bright's regional ground-
water evaluation. We would have no objection to the project as proposed
given the following stipulations:
(1) Although the sludge will consist primarily of carbon fines, the
potential presence of metals, plus the somewhat permeable nature
of the sediments underlying the settling, sand, dictates that the
in -situ foils comprising the bottom of this pond should be compacted
to the same 95% standard Proctor density as proposed.
(2) Two monitor wells,:,constructed in accordance with the attacried dia-
gram, should be constructed. The exact location and construction
details should be by approval of the Fayetteville Regional Office.
(3) The wells should be sampled, immediately, upon completion and every
March, July and November, thereafter, for the following parameters:
TOC Conductance
TDS Zn
pH Water levels
BC/Is
Attachment

(this measurement to be made immediately
prior to any pumping/bailing for ground-
water quality samples)

NOTE:
Steel Outer Casing
1. Borehole to be six inches
(if plastic inner casing)
larger than outside diameter of
casing.
Land a Surface 2 Casing and screen to be
centered in borehole.
3. Top of well screen should not

be above mean high seasoned

Well Casing 4. Casing and screen material to
(2" or larger diam.) be compatible with type of
contaminant being monitored.
Pelletized Bentonite N 5. Well head to be labeled with
highly visible warning saying
"Well is for monitoring and not
- = considered safe for drinking."
Clean Washed 6. Well to be afforded reasonable
_- protection against damage
