Re: NOTICE OF REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTAMINANT ASSESSMENT AND CLEANUP
CHAMPION-PIGEON RIVER SEEP
175 Main Street
Canton, Haywood County, NC
Site ID#: NONCD0001473

Dear Mr. Richardson:

On January 28, 2022, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Water Resources (DWR)
Asheville Regional Office (ARO) was notified of the presence of a black liquor seep that was discharging into the nearby Pigeon
River. This discharge was sourced from the subsurface underlying the former Champion Paper Mill located in Canton, North
Carolina. Additionally, this seep appears to be a reactivation of one or more previous seeps that were the subject of a Notice of
Violation (NOV) sent by the DWQ Groundwater Section (GWS) ARO to the Champion Paper Company in 1994. As a result, on
April 11, 2022, DWR issued a second NOV for the continuing discharge. Because this discharge is likely associated with the
documented groundwater contamination, the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) and the DWR ARO are working in a
collaborative effort to address the discharge into the river.

As the 1994 NOV predated the involvement of your company with the subject site, the control and responsibility for this site rested
with Champion Paper Company. As the responsible party, Champion was required to address all contamination on the site that had
resulted from its tenure on the property which had been continuous since 1908. This contamination included not only the liquor
seep, in terms of ceasing its discharge, but also included the petroleum from the various underground storage tanks (USTs) as well
as inorganics and metals that were present in soil and in groundwater.

Regulatory oversight for the assessment and cleanup of the subject site was the complete jurisdiction of the DWR ARO
Groundwater Section from the discovery of the seep in 1994 until 1998 when the UST Section was removed from the DWQ and
transferred to the Division of Waste Management (DWM) as an independent program. To that end, the ARO UST Section assumed
responsibility for overseeing the petroleum contamination from the USTs that were located at the site. Meanwhile, the other
remaining contamination issues in soil and groundwater continued to be the jurisdiction of the DWQ Groundwater Section and
subsequently the DWQ Aquifer Protection Section beginning in 2004.

A DEQ internal agency reorganization in October 2006 led to the transfer of regulatory oversight for the non-petroleum
contamination issues at the site from the AP Section to the Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch (IHSB) Western Unit. By the time of
this reorganization, International Paper (IP) had already purchased the Champion Paper Company and had assumed the role of the
assessing and remediating party for the site.

The IHSB first screened the site in 2007 and noted that the site had been ranked as an “E” in the Aquifer Protection Section’s
inventory at the time of the DEQ reorganization. As such, an “E” ranked site meant that it was a low ranked site in terms of
prioritization. The IHSB therefore, sent you a Registered Environmental Consultant (REC) Program Eligibility letter, dated
September 21, 2007 as the path for remediating the site. Under this privatized program, an approved Registered Environmental

CHAMPION-PIGEON RIVER SEEP April 22, 2022
Mr. Tom Richardson Page 2 of 3

Consultant implements and oversees the remedial action on behalf of the IHSB.

In response to the REC Eligibility Letter, IP submitted to the IHSB the Site Cleanup Questionnaire along with a letter, dated
October 31, 2007. In this letter you indicated that IP “is the remediating party, responsible for the groundwater impacts described
through indemnity agreements among the parties (IP and Blue Ridge Paper Products) and predecessors (Champion Paper).” For
your review, we have enclosed a copy of the October 31st letter. You also indicated that through your consultant, Earth Tech, that
you would be entering the REC Program.

In a Notice of Regulatory Requirements letter, dated March 17, 2008, from the then REC Program Manager, Mr. Kim Caulk, IP
was directed to proceed with steps to enter the REC Program. On May 23, 2008, however, IP indicated in a response letter to Mr.
Caulk that it would not enter the program. This response is the last correspondence that the IHSB received from IP until earlier this
year when IP was notified that the seeps had been reactivated and were observed to have discharged into the Pigeon River.

Although IP and the IHSB exchanged no further communication between 2008 and earlier this year, your company did continue to
conduct semi-annual groundwater monitoring at the subject site but failed to report the results to the IHSB for review. As the IHSB
was unaware of these reports until you informed us of their existence, the IHSB requested that you provide all the reports to Mr.
David Ramey, in the IHSB Mooresville Regional Office, so that a thorough review could be performed. IP has now submitted the
monitoring reports from February 2007 through August 2021.

The Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report from August of 2021 indicates that the above-identified site is contaminated
with one or more hazardous substances. Certain provisions of North Carolina law require IP to assess and clean up the
contamination. Our office has regulatory oversight for the assessment and cleanup. Based on information in the 2021 report, the
Inactive Hazardous Sites Response Act (“IHSRA”), codified under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 130A-310, et seq., applies to your site. In
addition, initial immediate actions are required under 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards.

This letter is to go over procedures to ensure any immediate exposure to contaminants is addressed and to provide you with
information on the regulatory requirements for cleanup and our voluntary party site cleanup program.

Actions Required:

 As the remediating party, IP must take the initial abatement actions required under 15A NCAC 2L. Pursuant to 15A
NCAC 2L .0106(b), any person conducting or controlling an activity which results in the discharge of a waste or
hazardous substance to the groundwaters of the State, or in proximity thereto, shall take immediate action to terminate and
control the discharge, and mitigate any hazards resulting from exposure to the pollutants. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2L
.0106(c), if groundwater standards have been exceeded, you must take immediate action to eliminate the source or sources
of contamination. Beyond initial abatement actions, all assessment and remediation will be done through the IHSRA.

 IP must also perform the following tasks and provide related documentation to the IHSB:

1. Identify all constituents of concern in both current and historical black liquor used at the paper mill,
2. Determine whether there is a continuing source of black liquor/industrial water releases from the
underground piping infrastructure of the paper mill,
3. Determine whether the Pigeon River continues to be impacted by black liquor/seep material/discharging
contaminated groundwater through surface water sampling and analysis,
4. Implement measures to stop any discharge of contaminated groundwater to the Pigeon River,
5. Prepare a remedial action plan for the documented groundwater contamination beneath the paper mill, and
6. Continue generating and submitting Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring Reports to the IHSB. 

Failure to take the initial abatement steps required in 15A NCAC 2L may result in the assessment of a civil penalty against IP. In
addition, the Branch may seek an injunction compelling compliance with the initial abatement steps required in 15A NCAC 2L.
For future work beyond the initial abatement steps required pursuant to 15A NCAC 2L, a unilateral Order may be issued pursuant
to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 130A-310.3 to compel assessment and cleanup. In addition, if you choose not to conduct a cleanup, the site
CHAMPION-PIGEON RIVER SEEP April 22, 2022
Mr. Tom Richardson Page 3 of 3

may be referred to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). If so referred, the EPA will screen the site for
Federal enforcement action under the Federal Superfund Program established under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”).

The IHSB requests that IP respond within thirty (30) days of its receipt date of our letter indicating that IP intends to comply with
the above matters that it has been directed to do by the IHSB.

If you have any questions, please contact David Ramey at [phone].

Subject:Semi-Annual Groundwater Sampling, August 2021
Evergreen Packaging Site
International Paper (IP)
Canton, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Richardson:
The data from the August 2021 semi-annual sampling event are presented in this report. This is the 29th
semi-annual sampling event (February 2007 through August 2021).
SAMPLE LOCATIONS AND ANALYTICAL METHODS
Figure 1 illustrates the site layout and monitoring well locations. Water-level measurements were collected
from the wells prior to the initiation of sampling activities and are presented in Table 1. A total of 22 monitoring
points were sampled including:
 13 piezometers [PZ-1, PZ-4, PZ-5, PZ-6, PZ-8, PZ-9, PZ-11 through PZ-13, PZ-17, PZ-18, PZ-20,
and PZ-21 (Note: PZ-10, PZ-15, and PZ-19 have previously been abandoned, PZ-2 was covered by
equipment and not accessible, PZ-3 was covered by water and lime and not accessible, PZ-14 was
not sampled due to the presence of gasoline in the well, and PZ-16 were not sampled due to the
presence of oil in the well; the oil is not related to IP’s historical operations)];
 Two bedrock monitoring wells [BR-1 and BR-3 (Note: BR-2 is covered by heavy equipment and not
accessible)]; and
 Seven groundwater recovery wells [RW-1 through RW-7].
The piezometers and bedrock wells were purged and sampled using disposable polyethylene-bailers. Where
possible, three well volumes of water were removed prior to sampling; however, if a piezometer or well went
dry before three well volumes were removed, the well was sampled when it recovered sufficiently.
The recovery wells were sampled using the HydraSleeveTM sampling device because of the larger diameter
of the recovery wells and their locations between the railroad tracks and the Pigeon River levee where purge
water is difficult to manage. This device allows wells to be sampled without purging and is proven to yield
equivalent results. The HydraSleeveTM was placed in the middle of the screen zone of the wells at least 24
hours before the samples were collected. When the HydraSleeveTM is withdrawn, the check valve opens to
allow water to enter. When the flexible sleeve is full, the check valve closes and the sampler can be recovered
without entry of stagnant water from the well casing. Once withdrawn, the sample was decanted into the
proper sample containers. This procedure has been used to collect groundwater from the recovery wells
since 2007 and was used again during the August 2021 sampling event.

IP Canton Sampling Report Aug 2021.docx
For monitoring wells sampled by conventional means, field parameters were measured after purging each
well volume, and/or prior to sample collection. For recovery wells sampled using the HydraSleeveTM, field
parameters were measured if sufficient volume was available after sample collection. Field parameters were
measured using a water quality meter (YSI 556). The parameters measured included pH, specific
conductance, water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and oxidation reduction potential (ORP). Turbidity
was measured using a separate meter.
The groundwater samples were sent to Analytical Environmental Services, a North Carolina certified
laboratory, located in Atlanta, Georgia for analysis. Samples were analyzed for inductively-coupled plasma
(ICP) metals (chromium and nickel) by Method SW 6010D, platinum-cobalt color by Method SM 2120B, and
total dissolved solids (TDS) by Method SM 2540C. In addition, two field duplicate sample and one matrix
spike/matrix spike duplicate (MS/MSD) sample were collected for quality assurance purposes.
GROUNDWATER GRADIENTS
Groundwater elevations are presented in Table 1.Figure 2 presents a contour map of the August 2021
calculated groundwater elevation surface. In general, groundwater flow is toward the Pigeon River. However,
beneath the mill the flow directions are more complex with a high area at well PZ-13 and semi-radial flow out
from this high. Groundwater elevations (excluding the bedrock aquifer well) ranged from 2,569.13 ft above
mean sea level (MSL) at well RW-3 to 2,582.29 ft above MSL at well PZ-21. Overall, groundwater elevations
were on average 0.97 feet lower than those from the February 2021 event and 0.85 ft lower than August
2020.
Hydraulic gradients were calculated up gradient and down gradient of the plant area. Near the Pigeon River
in the central portion of the site, the August 2021 gradient was 0.026 in the area of wells PZ-1 and PZ-13
which is the same as the February 2021 (0.026). Near the Pigeon River in the south-central portion of the
site, the gradient was 0.024 in the area of RW-6 and PZ-20, similar to February 2021 (0.022). Upgradient of
the mill, the hydraulic gradient was 0.015 in the area of PZ-9 and PZ-21, which is similar to February 2021
(0.016). Based on a hydraulic conductivity value of 0.3 feet per day (ft/day) and an effective porosity of 0.35
(reported during previous studies), the groundwater velocity in the area of the river ranges between 7.5 feet
per year (ft/year) and 8.1 ft/year and upgradient of the plant the groundwater velocity was approximately 4.7
ft/year in August 2021.
GROUND WATER QUALITY
Water-quality data from August 2021, including field water quality measurements, are presented in Table 2.
Table 3 presents the historical and current groundwater quality data.Table 4 provides a list of data flags
used on Tables 2 and 3 and their meaning used to qualify the data.
Color
Figure 3 presents a contour map of color concentrations. Several locations had notable decreases or
decreased below the NC 2L groundwater quality standard for color concentration when compared to the
February 2021 results.
 PZ-4 (6,000 CU in August 2021 compared to 10,000 CU in February 2021);
Mr. Tom Richardson
August 2021 Groundwater Sampling Report – Canton Site

IP Canton Sampling Report Aug 2021.docx
 PZ-6 (875 CU in August 2021 compared to 1,200 CU in February 2021);
 PZ-7 (27,500 CU in August 2021 compared to 37,500 CU in February 2021);
 PZ-8 (300 CU in August 2021 compared to 625 CU in February 2021);
 PZ-11 (1,750 CU in August 2021 compared to 2,250 CU in February 2021);
 PZ-18 (30 CU in August 2021 compared to 125 CU in February 2021);
 PZ-20 (55 CU in August 2021 compared to 90 CU in February 2021); and
 RW-1 (90 CU in August 2021 compared to 200 CU in February 2021).
Several locations had notable increases in color concentration when compared to the February 2021 results.
 RW-2 (1,800 CU in August 2021 compared to 750 CU in February 2021),
 RW-3 (275 CU in August 2021 compared to 50 CU in February 2021); and
 RW-6 (110 CU in August 2021 compared to 10 CU in February 2021).
Wells PZ-5, PZ-9, PZ-17, PZ-21, and RW-7 continue to have color values below the NC 2L groundwater
standard. August 2021 color values were similar to the February 2021 values for other wells not specified
here.
Over the period of record, the highest initial (1995/1997) concentrations of color were in the areas of well PZ-
1 (35,100 CU in 1997) and well RW-1 (17,090 CU in 1995). Since February 2007, the highest concentration
continues to be at well PZ-7 (90,000 CU in August 2020).
pH
The August 2021 pH values are summarized in Table 2 and illustrated on Figure 4. The pH distribution
outside of the EPA Secondary Drinking Water standard range (6.5 to 8.5 standard units [SU]) follows a similar
pattern as the color distribution. The pH values (excluding the bedrock aquifer wells) ranged from 5.91 SU at
well PZ-9 to 12.57 SU at well RW-5. In general, areas where pH values are above the standard range (higher
than 8.5 SU), color concentrations are greater than 500 CU.
ORP
The ORP measurements have been included on Figures 3 and 4 for comparison to color and pH values. In
general, the ORP values were lower (more negative) within the color plume. The lowest ORP value was
measured at well RW-5 (-413.3 millivolts [mV]) corresponding to a high color concentration (13,000 CU)
during the August 2021 sampling event. In locations where pH was higher than 8.5 SU, ORP measurements
Mr. Tom Richardson

October 28, 2021
Page 4 of 7
IP Canton Sampling Report Aug 2021.docx
were generally lower (more negative). This is an indication that there is a potential for anaerobic
biodegradation.
Chromium
Figure 5 illustrates the distribution of chromium in groundwater. Chromium has previously been interpreted
as being leached from the soil by the high pH. During the August 2021 sampling event, chromium was
detected above the NC 2L groundwater quality standard (0.01 milligrams per liter [mg/L]) at the following well
locations:
 BR-1 – 0.0156 mg/L;
 PZ-1 – 0.0199 mg/L;
 PZ-4 – 0.158 mg/L;
 PZ-7 – 0.353 mg/L;
 PZ-11 – 0.0398 mg/L;
 PZ-12 – 0.0366 mg/L;
 RW-1 – 0.0197 mg/L;
 RW-2 – 0.0179 mg/L;
 RW-4 – 0.011 mg/L; and
 RW-5 – 0.0801 mg/L.
The remaining locations had chromium concentrations below the NC 2L groundwater quality standard or
were not detected at or above the reporting limit (non-detect values).
Nickel
Figure 6 illustrates the nickel distribution in groundwater. Nickel has also previously been interpreted as
being leached from the soil by the high pH. Nickel was detected above the NC 2L groundwater quality
standard (0.1 mg/L) at three locations:
 PZ-4 – 0.153 mg/L;
 PZ-7 – 0.169 mg/L; and
 RW-5 – 0.169 mg/L.
All other locations had nickel concentrations below the NC 2L groundwater quality standard or were not
detected at or above the reporting limit (non-detect values).
TDS
Figure 7 illustrates the distribution of TDS in groundwater. TDS was identified in the Corrective Action Plan
as a chemical of concern. TDS concentrations (excluding the bedrock aquifer wells) ranged from 152 mg/L
Mr. Tom Richardson
August 2021 Groundwater Sampling Report – Canton Site
October 28, 2021
Page 5 of 7
IP Canton Sampling Report Aug 2021.docx
at well PZ-17 to 182,000 mg/L at well RW-5. The NC 2L groundwater quality standard for TDS is 500 mg/L.
The distribution of TDS concentrations above 1,000 mg/L generally correspond to color concentrations above
500 CU. In general, samples had TDS values within their historical range of concentrations.
SUMMARY
With the exception of the three wells which had color concentrations with notable increases, the remaining
well locations had color concentrations that decreased or were similar to the February 2021 color
concentrations. High pH values continue to follow the plume pattern of color concentrations above 500 CU,
as does the TDS concentrations.
Wells BR-2, PZ-2, and PZ-3 were covered by heavy equipment or construction material and could not be
sampled. Well PZ-14 was not sampled due to the presence of gasoline in the well and well PZ-16 was not
sampled due to the presence of a dense oil layer over the water table. The oil at well PZ-16 is most likely
No. 6 fuel oil and is not related to IP’s historical operations. Semi-annual groundwater sampling will con-
tinue with the next sampling event scheduled for February 2022.
If there are questions or comments regarding the findings of the August 2021 sampling event please contact

2. Bedrock wells BR-1 and BR-3 were not included in contouring because these are in a
different aquifer unit. The result for the bedrock wells can be found in Table 2.
3. ORP measurements were collected during groundwater sampling.
4. BR-2, PZ-2, and PZ-3 were not sampled because they were not accessible.
5. PZ-14 was not sampled because of the presence of gasoline.
6. PZ-16 was not sampled because it contained significant amount of oil and was
unable to be sampled.
7. Samples were collected from August 9-11, 2021.
8. The method detection limit (5 color units) was used to contour non-detect values.
