Dear Mr. Goodsell:

The Division of Waste Management (DWM) Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section received
the Groundwater Monitoring Report (Report) dated August 2, 2019. The report has been reviewed
and will be maintained in the Washington Regional Office. The report indicates continued levels
of groundwater contamination. The subject incident has been determined by the Department, in
response to North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.94E(e4), to be of sufficiently high
priority to allow funding by the State Trust Fund Program. Therefore, you are directed to proceed
with assessment. Specifically, you are required to:

 Continue to sample WSW-1 and monitoring wells on a semi-annual schedule, with the next
sampling event occurring in November. Analyze the groundwater samples using SM
6200B.

 Submit the results of the groundwater sampling activities in a monitoring report within 30
days of receipt of the analytical results.

 Perform free product recovery via MMPE on monitoring well-14.

Effective October 1, 2004, the Department requires that all work following the submittal of the
Limited Site Assessment Report (Title 15A NCAC 2L .0405) be preapproved if State Trust Fund
reimbursement is anticipated. To comply with this requirement, a completed Preapproval/Claim
Authorization Form, encompassing the required remedial activities, must be received in this office
within 14 days of the date of this letter. Upon completion of the preapproved activities, you should
submit your claim promptly. Reimbursement funds are budgeted based on completed
preapprovals, but lengthy delays in reimbursement can occur if claims are not submitted
immediately following work completion.

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 in accordance with Title 15A NCAC 2L .0103(e) and 2L .0111(b).

Please note that before you sell, transfer, or request a “No Further Action” determination for a
property that has not been remediated to below “unrestricted use” standards, you must file a Notice
of Residual Petroleum ("Notice") with the Register of Deeds in the county where the property is
located (NCGS 143B-279.9 and 143B-279.11).

Failure to comply with the State's rules in the manner and time specified may result in the
assessment of civil penalties and/or the use of other enforcement mechanisms.

If you have any questions regarding the actions or the rules mentioned in this letter, please contact
me at the address or telephone number listed below. If you have any questions regarding trust
fund eligibility or reimbursement, please contact the UST Section Trust Fund Branch at (919) 733-
8486.

Sincerely,

Allison Ward
Hydrogeologist
Washington Regional Office
