Dear Mr. Texter:
In accordance with a request, made by Mr. Stephen M. Ritz, P.G. of Roy F. Weston, Inc., to
relocate and change the size of the subject infiltration gallery, first made verbally in separate June 4, 1996,
meetings with representatives of the Division's Water Quality and Groundwater Sections and then
submitted in writing on, June 4, 1996, the Division is forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0002714,
dated June 17, 1996, to AMP Incorporated for the construction and operation of the subject groundwater
remediation facility. This permit modification allows for the relocation of the subject infiltration gallery
approximately 170 west south west of the permitted location, and the changing the gallery size from 20
feet by 10 feet by 17 feet deep to 30 feet by 20 feet by 10 feet deep. Please note to reflect the gallery
relocation the following monitoring well sampling changes are included in this permit:
1. The permit sampling frequency at monitoring well MW-9 is to be increased from annually
to semi-annually, due to its location immediately downgradient of the new infiltration gallery
location. (permit condition IV.1)
2. Monitoring well MW-6 is to be removed from the sampling schedule due to its location and
the sustained absence of VOC's over the last four quarters. (permit condition IV.I)
3. Copies of a detailed topographic map of the site will be furnished to the Division's Water
Quality Section the the Groundwater Section prior to July 11, 1996. (permit condition IV.9)
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 1998, shall void Permit No.
WQ0002714 issued April 24, 1996, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein.
The Division understands that these modifications are acceptable to AMP, Inc., therefore this
permit is considered to be final and binding.

GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Nine of the existing monitor wells MW-1, MW-7, MW-S, MW-9, MW-13, MW-14, MW-
20, MW-23 and MW-24; and five groundwater recovery wells, MW-10, MW-22, MW-25,
MW-26 and MW-27 shall be sampled every January and July for the following parameters:

All parameters that have been historically detected by EPA Method 601 shall be analyzed
for and reported.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the Groundwater Section, Permits
and Compliance Unit, P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0535 on Form GW-59
[Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every February and August.

exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of that substance at the REVIEW
BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the permittee shall either (i) demonstrate,
through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site conditions , facility design and
operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary; or,
(ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site conditions, facility design or operational
controls that will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary, and
implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
5. All components of the groundwater recovery, treatment, and disposal system shall be
