Incident Number: 96933
Risk Classification: High
Dear Lance Edwards:
Information received by this regional office of the Underground Storage Tank Section (UST Section),
Division of Waste Management, on January 13, 2023, confirms a release or discharge of petroleum at the
above-referenced location. Furthermore, this office has determined that you are the responsible party for
the assessment and cleanup of the release or discharge.
As the responsible party, you must comply with the initial response and abatement action requirements of
the Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), Subchapter 02L .0504 and, if applicable,
the assessment and reporting requirements of Title 15A NCAC 02L .0505, within the timeframes specified
in the attached rules. (Be aware that if Title 15A NCAC 02L .0505 is applicable, you must comply with its
requirements even if you do not receive formal notification from the UST Section.)
Initial abatement action requirements include the preparation and submittal of an Initial Assessment Report
(IAR), in accordance with Title 15A NCAC 02L .0504 within 90 days of discovery of the release.
Because a release or discharge has been confirmed, a Licensed Geologist or a Professional Engineer,
certified by the State of North Carolina, is required to prepare and certify all reports submitted to the
Department of Environmental Quality in accordance with Title 15A NCAC 02L .0103(e) and 02L .0111(b).
