Mebane, North Carolina 27302 Re: Conditional Notice of No Further Action
15A NCAC 2L .0407(d) Risk-based Assessment and Corrective Action for Petroleum Underground Storage Tanks
First Savings and Loan Property- Heating Oil 2150 US Highway 70, Mebane Alamance County Incident Number: 45146
Risk Classification: Low Ranking: L60D Dear Mr. Smith: Information received by the UST Section, Division of Waste Management, Winston-Salem Regional Office
on October 12, 2018 and the Notice of Residual Petroleum received on October 31, 2018 have been reviewed. The review indicates that soil and groundwater contamination meet the cleanup requirements for a low-risk noncommercial site under Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202 and .0400, as modified by Session Law 2015-241, but contamination exceeds the limits allowed for unrestricted closure of a site. The UST Section determines the subject incident to be eligible conditionally for no further action status.
The Notice of Residual Petroleum (NRP) was filed with the Alamance County Register of Deeds on October 26, 2018 and verified by the receipt of a certified copy of the filed NRP by this office on October 31, 2018. However, final approval of no further action status is contingent on receipt of confirmation that public notice requirements have been completed, as described in the following paragraphs. Be advised that, as contamination may exceed the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202, groundwater within the area where contamination is present or is expected to migrate is not suitable for use as a water supply. Be advised that as soil contamination may exceed the residential MSCCs, the property containing the soil contamination is suitable only for industrial / commercial use as stipulated in the Notice of Residual Petroleum. As groundwater contamination may exceed the groundwater quality standards established in Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202, and soil contamination may exceed the lower of the residential or soil-to-groundwater MSCCs, public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0409(b) is required. Thus, within 30 days of
receipt of this letter, a copy of the letter must be provided by certified mail, or by posting in a prominent
place, if certified mail is impractical, to the local health director, the chief administrative officer of each political jurisdiction in which the contamination occurs, all property owners and occupants within or contiguous to the area containing contamination, and all property owners and occupants within or
contiguous to the area where the contamination is expected to migrate. Within 60 days of receiving this letter, this office must be provided with proof of receipt of the copy of the letter or of refusal by the addressee to accept delivery of the copy of the letter or with a description of the manner in which the letter
was posted. Interested parties may examine the incident file by contacting this regional office and may submit comments on the site to the regional office at the address or telephone number listed below. This conditional No Further Action determination will not become valid until public notice requirements are completed. Sincerely,
Mindy Lepard
