(Alcatel -Lucent), AECOM North Carolina, Inc. (AECOM) has prepared this letter to notify the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources that the groundwater remediation system at the above -referenced facility has been replaced and a minor National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit modification is hereby requested. Based upon a telephone conversation with you on September 26, 2011 prior to system replacement, a major NPDES permit modification is not required in this situation because there is no change to the following conditions: contaminants the system is treating; basic treatment technology; permit effluent limits; and permitted outflow, location. Instead, a minor NPDES permit modification is required and a permit modification request should be submitted after the changes to the groundwater remediation system have been implemented. The facility's original groundwater remediation system was permanently shut down on July 13, 2012. The new groundwater remediation system was started on October 9, 2012. The current NPDES permit (dated June 12, 2009) specifies that the remediation system consists of the following components: • Extraction wells • Oil/water separator • Granular media filtration • Feed -water storage and equalization • Parallel filtration and air -stripping treatment trains receiving segregated flow • Activated carbon • Solids removal (filter press) The early 1990s design of the original remediation system was based on using parallel treatment systems for different contaminant types, with System A receiving flow from diesel fuel extraction wells and perimeter volatile organic compound (VOC) extraction wells, and System B receiving flow AECOM 2 from interior VOC extraction wells. Due to the observed contaminant concentrations and flow rates being significantly lower over the past 20 years than anticipated during the original remediation system design, a new single -stream remediation system was designed and installed to treat extracted groundwater. The new system consists of the following components: • Extraction wells • Feed -water equalization `.-•'�� `b �" • Bag filtration • Low profile air stripper P PP • Granular activated carbon The system component list on the "Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet" portion of the NPDES permit should be modified to reflect the new components listed above. Please contact Erin Stewart at (919) 239.7189 if you have any questions. Yours sincerely, OWA-&""r _/y Erin Stewart, P.G.
