NCYCC 8 exceeded the PCE MCL of 0,005 mg/I in two samples collected on March 26, 2007 from 9 an indoor faucet at the institution, which had PCE concentrations of 0,0070 mg/I and 10 0.0072 mg/l, respectively, 11 12 Section 64445.1(c) requires confirmation when organic chemicals are detected, 13 Confirmation of the initial finding shall be shown by the presence of the organic 14 chemical in either the first or second additional sample, and the detected level of the 15 contaminant for compliance purposes shall be the average of the initial and confirmation 16 sample(s). The Department directed NCYCC to sample all wells and sample from the same indoor faucet where the March 26`r' samples had been collected, Samples were collected from three of the wells and the indoor faucet on April 12, 2007. The PCE concentration from the indoor faucet sample was 0.0083 mg/i. Well No. 2 had a PCE concentration of 0.0088 mg/I, Well No. 4 had a non -detection of PCE (reporting limit was 0.0000 mg/1), and Standby Well No, 3 had a PCE concentration of 0.016 mg/l. However, Standby Well No, 3 has not been pumped into the system since 2000. Well No. 3 is only turned on and pumped to waste for sample collection. The average of the three indoor faucet samples was 0.0075 mg/l, which confirmed a violation of the PCE MCL of 0.005 mg/I 17 1s 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 COURT PAPER 57aSc ar=altronnu SSP. 113 InEV, &.721 i The Department directed NCYCC to sample all wells and sample from the same indoor faucet where the March 26`r' samples had been collected, Samples were collected from three of the wells and the indoor faucet on April 12, 2007.
