Page# 1 NPDES yr/mo/day Inspection Type (Cont.) 1 31 NC0086838 I11 121 16/02/21 117 18 1,.1 Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) Noted by Ed Watson: A review of historical groundwater analytical results indicate the presence of chlorinate volatile organic compounds(CVOC's)in the onsite groundwater. However,these values have been shown to be being reduced by the on-site remediation efforts. Trichloroethane and several of its various daughter products remain in concentration in exceedance of the NC 2L standards. Historic reported values indicate these constituents are moving forward with the expected degradation of chlorinated solvents.
