MONITORING REQUIREMENTS in this permit: 1. Part III.1 has been added to clarify existing permit language stating that monitoring and reporting requirements are suspended while the infiltration gallery is not in operation. 2. As requested in the cover letter accompanying the permit application, acetone has been removed from the list of analytical parameters in Parts III.2 and III.3 of this permit. 3. Monitoring wells MW -2, MW -3, MW -4, and MW -5 have been removed from the list of monitoring wells specified in Part III.3 of this permit because they serve as recovery wells and the treatment system influent is already required to be sampled when the system is in operation. 1617 Mai!

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The groundwater treatment system shall consistently achieve at least 95% removal of the influent contaminants or 15A NCAC 2L Section .0202(g) Class GA Standards (whichever is higher) prior to discharge to the infiltration gallery. The treated water discharged into the infiltration gallery must not cause a violation of Class GA Standards for any constituent beyond the Compliance Boundary, nor cause the migration of the contamination into unaffected areas. If the treatment system fails to consistently achieve this standard, additional treatment units or changes in operational needs may be required. 2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the remaining wastes and may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner, which will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface and ground waters. 3.
