Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Acid Producing Rock Alan W Klimek, P E. Director Division ofWater Quality The following documents are examples of how DWQ has dealt with the presence of acid producing rock through the 401 Water Quality Certification process. These examples are from three projects in the mountain region of NC where there were known deposits of acid producing rock. These measures were used to avoid and minimize impacts from the acid producing rock through monitoring, treatment, and disposal. This is not a comprehensive way to deal with acid producing rock. These examples should only be used as guidance. Additional and/or varied measures may be necessary on a case- by-case basis.

P: 0/10 A -Ib U R -0977A Cherokee County POTENTIAL ACID PRODUCING ROCK MATERIALS Descdption Work under this section consists of testing for and disposing of potential acid producing rock materials as directed by the Engineer. Acid producing rock contains sufficient amounts of certain minerals that may produce damaging acid levels in leachate when exposed to the atmosphere and weathering processes. All fresh rock on this project has low potential for producing acid drainage. Acid potential in rock is measured as Net Neutralization Potential (NNP). Acidity levels in runoff is reflected in pH and sulfate content. Testing and Monito7ing Procedure Testing and monitoring consists of daily water sampling by Contractor's independent agent, to be approved by the Engineer. Measure values for pH at the sampling sites and record immediately. Monitoring consists of testing water from approved temporary and permanent erosion control basins collecting runoff from the following areas of fresh rock excavation: Sta. 18+50 — 24+00 Sta. 31+00 — 40+00 Sta. 52+00 — 61+00 Sta. 80+00—, 86+00 Additional testing must be conducted by an accredited lab facility and must consist of reported values of pH, acidity, alkalinity and sulfate content on a weekly basis. Report lab results to the Engineer within 7 days of sampling. NCDOT Geotechnical Engineering Unit will concurrently test existing streams for the same values on a monthly basis with results available through the Engineer. Ex or Acid Producing Ro ,ploratoly Drilling f Due to potential construction delays concerning excavating and mitigating acidic rock, a pay item is included as part of this contract for preliminary drilling and testing to determine the presence of these materials before rock excavation begins in an area. This falls under the category of exploratory drilling and the Contractor may, with approval from the Engineer, drill for testable rock samples to be tested for NNP at an accredited lab facility. Testing Values and Results R -0977A Cherokee County If reported pH values are below 6.0, the Engineer will select a Mitigation Plan immediately upon receiving results. Mitigation Plans will consist of any of the courses of action listed under "Mitigation Plans" with payment according to the line item under "Basis of Payment". Mitigation Plan Possible mitigation methods for acid producing rock consists of: 1) Select placement and treatment of excavated material in a location to be approved by the Engineer prior to construction. Location for placement and treatment of acidic material shall be Uproved by DWQ regional staff (Asheville Regional Office). 2) Treatment of excavated material in embankment or waste area. 3) Cover treated material with soil plating meeting AASHTO requirements A-2-4, A-4, A-6 or A-7. At the direction of the Engineer, temporarily mitigate by treatment with lime and covering with high-density polyethylene (.HDPE) sheeting at the excavation site while awaiting transport to the disposal site. Treatment consists of layering excavated material lifts with crushed limestone aggregate and/or agricultural grade ground limestone. The average tested NNP value for this project is —16. This corresponds to a treatment quantity of 16 tons of limestone per 370 m3 of excavated fresh rock material. Basis of Pa men y Payment will be made under: Crushed Limestone Aggregate Metric Ton Agricultural Grade Ground Limestone Metric Ton High Density Polyethylene Sheeting Square M eter Soil backfill Cubic Meter Exploratory Drilling Linear Meter The Contractor should stockpile up to 30% of the estimated mitigation quantities prior to construction. Excavation and placement of rock is considered incidental to work performed for the treatment process and is considered "Unclassified Excavation."

The short answer is that the conversion of Cr III to Cr VI would not be rapid or even expected under normal enviromnental/atmospheric conditions because atmospheric oxygen is generally considered to be an insufficient chemical oxidizer for the conversion of Cr Ell to Cr VI. Also note that near surface soils would have long ago reached geochemical. equilibrium while sitting in place over the centuries so "new", rapid conversions from Cr III to Cr VI would be unexpected. Even the excavation and subsequent erosional discharge of reduced sediments (from boggy areas, for example) that contain higher amounts of the trivalent form of Cr (Cr III) would not be expected to rapidly convert to Cr VI under normal environmental conditions that would prevail during stockpiling of excavated soils.

We have been asked our thoughts concerning possible conversion of Cr3, and subsequent liberation of Cr6 into surface waters from the Black Creek Fm. I realize it's not ARO, but hope you can still offer thoughts. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline may intersect parts of the formation and where this occurs near surface waters, the potential exists for sediment to be released to surface waters. Although we would require steps to be taken to prevent such sediment losses, in the event it occurs the question came up, "Would any Cr3 in the exposed excavated sediment quickly convert to Cr6 and then be at risk of being discharged to surface waters?" If you have time give me a quick call . We can also discuss tomorrow. ffm From: Taylor, Kenneth Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2017 7:53:38 PM To: Zimmerman, Jay Cc: Culpepper, Linda Subject: Meeting today on the ACP Jay, I will be out on Thursday — taking my family to the State Fair. If it is URGENT, call my cell phone. The Assistant Secretary asked if we had any follow-up on the potential for heavy metals in the Black Creek Formation? A second issue is related to water chemistry. Attached is Vengosh's paper and the supplemental information where he describes in page S 11 and S 12 the modified version of U.S. EPA Method 218.6. Do you have anyone in your Division who can answer the question: Is all Cr in a water sample — Cr(HI), Cr(IV), and Cr(VI) converted into Cr(VI) using a strong oxidizer, since only Cr(VI) is the only water soluble form of Cr?

This was the highest level seen along the proposed ACP pipeline route. . Geology along the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) route Extent A spatial analysis of the 182 -mile proposed ACP route with the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985) shows there are nine segments, a total of 91 miles which the underlying geology indicates a possible hazard from Chromium and other metals such as Arsenic. These metals could become remobilized under oxidizing conditions when excavated sediment and/or rock dry - out on the surface. In the case of Chromium, naturally occurring Cr(III) can be altered into the water-soluble hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI) and enter the surface water or groundwater. One of the two geologic formations that could pose a hazard is the CZmd — Metamudstone and meta-argillite. These rocks have bedding plane and axial -planar cleavage, and are composed of metasandstone, metaconglomerate, and metavolcanics rock. This formation underlies the ACP proposed route from mile -9 to mile -12; mile -47 to mile -50; mile -52 to mile - 58, and mile -66 to mile -67, mile -69, and mile -71; and mile -73 and mile -74. All or parts of 21 miles of pipeline route are over the CZmd unit. The other formation is a Coastal Plain unit called the Black Creek Fon-nation (Kb). Four segments of the proposed route from mile- 103 to include mile- 107; from mile- 108 to include mile- 116; from mile- 117 to mile- 123; and from mile- 13 8 to mile- 182 (terminus). All or parts of 69 miles of pipeline route are over the Black Creek Formation. The proposed ACP route in North Carolina is 182 miles. Forty-nine percent of the proposed length is over those two geologic units. Backaround Peer-reviewed scientific literature was consulted to establish criteria for selecting the two geological formations. Vengosh and others (2016) discussed the origin of hexavalent chromium in drinking water wells from Piedmont aquifers of North Carolina. The geologic map of his study area is west of the pipeline route, but the same geologic information he used is the 1985 geologic map. The CZmd in the Eastern Slate Belt (old term) is not subdivided. In the Western Slate Belt (old term) the unit is divided in the CZmd2 — Cid Formation and the CZmd3 — Floyd Church Formation. Both of these have the highest median and maximum Cr concentration values in micro grams per liter ([tg/L) of Total Cr.
