Risk Classification: Low

Dear Mr. White:
A review of information on file with the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste
Management, Fayetteville Regional Office indicates that soil and groundwater contamination meet the
cleanup requirements for a low-risk release under Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202 and .0400, but contamination
exceeds the limits allowed for the unrestricted use of a site where closed under risk-based cleanup standards.
The UST Section determines the subject incident to be eligible conditionally for no further action status.
However, final approval of no further action status is contingent on the filing of the approved Notice of
Residual Petroleum (or NRP, see attached) with the Register of Deeds in the county in which the release is
located, verified by the receipt of a certified copy of the filed NRP by this office; and receipt of confirmation
that public notice requirements have been completed, as described below.
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 (attached).
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 02L .0409(b) also is required. Within 30 days of
receipt of this letter, a copy of this letter must be provided by certified mail (or otherwise be made available
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
