Dear Ms. Knudsen:
EFRI performed first quarter 2021 chloroform monitoring during the period from January 1, to March 31,
2021 under the September 14, 2015 GCAP, included as Attachment 1 to the duly executed SCO.
Part II.G of the GCAP states that "An exceedance shall be defined as the presence of chloroform in any
Compliance Monitoring Well in excess of the Table 2 Groundwater Corrective Action Limit ("GCAL")

submits a quarterly report that demonstrates an exceedance (second quarter of chloroform exceedance),
EFR[I] will provide a written exceedance notice to the Director ("Exceedance Notice") for all wells that
have demonstrated such an exceedance." Pursuant to Part II.H.1 of the GCAP, please note that the
concentrations of chloroform in TW4-30 exceeded the respective GCAL of 70 ug/L for two or more
consecutive quarters as noted on Table 1 attached.
This letter serves as the Exceedance Notice required pursuant to Part II.H.1) of the GCAP.
