Incident Number: 11890
Risk Classification: High
Ranking: H 140 D
Dear Mr. Simonsen:
On September 8, 2020, the Underground Storage Tank Section, Division of Waste Management,
Department of Environmental Quality received a Ground Water Monitoring Report documenting a limited
groundwater sampling event performed on August 19, 2020.
During this sampling event, petroleum constituents in the groundwater at several monitoring wells
were detected at concentrations above the cleanup standards defined in Title 15A of the North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) Subchapter 2L .0202, but below the applicable Gross Contaminant Levels
defined under 15A NCAC 2L .0406. The report also documented that the water supply well located in the
vacant lot behind 107 Robin Drive was unpowered and could not be sampled. A Mann-Kendall constituent
trend analysis conducted by the UST Section staff on the provided groundwater data (attached) reported an
unstable ‘No Trend’ result at wells MW-13 and MW-14.
If you have questions regarding the information contained in this letter, please contact me at the
address or telephone number listed below.
Sincerely,

Jared M. Edwards
Hydrogeologist - Washington Regional Office
