in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., Groundwater Classifications and Standards). The Compliance
Boundary for facilities individually permitted prior to December 31, 1983 is established
at either 500 feet from the waste disposal area or at the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the surface disposal unit. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at
or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action
according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the disposal facilities midway between
the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any exceedance
of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review Boundary shall require action in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(1).
5_ Other Requirements:
a. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division,
shall be provided.

physically perform the actual well abandonment activities, and the well shall be
abandoned according to 15A NCAC 2C .0113 (i.e., "Abandonment of Wells") and any
applicable local rules. Within 30 calendar days of the well abandonment activities, a
"Well Abandonment Record" (i.e., OW-30 Form) shall be completed for the abandoned
well and mailed to the address listed in Condition IV. 2b.
c. Piezometers, MW-5 and MW-6, shall either be abandoned as described in Condition IV.
5b. above or made into permanent groundwater monitoring wells in compliance with 15A
NCAC 2L .0100. Each well shall have a lockable cap and be locked in order to
reasonably ensure against unauthorized access and use in accordance with 15A NCAC
2C .0108 (c)(7). The wells shall be further secured by placing a compatible watertight
cap or seal onto the riser pipe to prevent potential contamination from entering the wells.
