1, 3 Xlyear monitoring shall be conducted in January, May and September.
2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top
of the casing. The measurement of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
The measuring points (top of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mgll are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify
the individual constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mgll, this
concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration
in the downgradient wells shalt be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
5. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location infomnation provided in Figure 2 and this attachment.
6. An analytic value for any naturally occurring substance (including pH range) that is above, or otherwise beyond the range of, the range of the groundwater standard listed
in 15A NCAC 02L .0202(g) will not be considered a violation of the groundwater standard if the value is less than or equal to the analytical value for that suhsance in the
natural groundwater environment, pursuant to 15A NC:AC 02L .0202(b)(3).
