CP Engineering was recently informed by Mr. Larry Wade, of the NCDENR, that the original benchmarks
levels for Copper and Zinc (Old benchmark Copper = 0.007 mg/L, Zinc = 0.067mg/L) for NCG030000 had
been raised to NEW levels: Copper = 0.010 mg/L, Zinc = 0.126mg/L. We were also told that if the
exceedances in the stormwater above the benchmark levels for Copper and Zinc were determined to be
the facility metal roof, we may be told to go back to normal sampling schedule. Could you please
contact me at 828-248-4495 or email me at lroper(aiparker.com with a direction on how to proceed
forward with our stormwater sampling schedule. Ultimately, our goal is keeping our environment safe
for employees, neighbors, and community.
