The UST Section, Division of Waste Management, Mooresville Regional Office received the
May 12, 2020 Groundwater Monitoring Report. The electronic copy has been loaded to the DWM's
electronic document storage system (Laserfiche). The site has been reclassified from intermediate to

release is located, when a release from an underground storage tank has not been remediated to
below "unrestricted use standards". The Notice is required either prior to conveyance of a
contaminated property or prior to receiving a Notice of No Further Action. "Unrestricted use
standards" for groundwater are the groundwater quality standards and interim standards contained in
Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202, and "unrestricted use standards" for soil are the residential maximum soil
contaminant concentrations (MSCCs) established in Title 15A NCAC 2L .0411.
