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 were closed under risk-based cleanup standards.
The UST Section determines that no further action is warranted for this incident. All required actions have
been completed. On 10/6/2008, the UST Section reviewed a certified copy of the Notice of Residual
Petroleum which is filed with the Register of Deeds on 10/6/2008 in book 4613 and page 972-975 filed for
a previous release onsite.
This determination shall apply unless the UST Section later finds that the discharge or release poses an
unacceptable risk or a potentially unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. Pursuant to Title
15A NCAC 02L .0407(a) you have a continuing obligation to notify the Department of any changes that
might affect the risk or land use classifications that have been assigned.
