RE: State-Lead Acceptance Renegar’s Food Market
1201 Lone Hickory Rd Yadkinville, Yadkin County, NC Incident Number 14146
Dear Mr. Renegar:
The Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO) has referred the subject release incident to the State Underground Storage Tank (UST) Trust Fund Branch, State-Lead Program for inclusion on the list of releases awaiting state-lead cleanup. In June 1992, soil and groundwater contamination was detected during removal of USTs. To date, the required assessment and cleanup of the release have not been completed due to the dissolution of the company that formerly owned the UST system, recalcitrance of the former UST system owner, or death of the former UST system owner. Due to the potential
presence of groundwater users within 1500 feet of the release and based on the confirmation of contamination remaining at the release location, the subject release incident is being accepted by the State-Lead program for inclusion on the list of releases awaiting further assessment and cleanup
and/or UST removal pursuant to G.S. 143-215.94G.
Currently, the risk of this release is "Low". An assessment and, if necessary, a cleanup, will be
conducted as soon as funds are available to determine and alleviate impacts to the environment and human health. The State-Lead Program contractor must access the property to conduct assessment and cleanup activities, which may include the installation and sampling of monitoring wells, cleanup
activities, and/or removal or the UST(s). Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.94A, based on the information currently available in our files you are not considered to the responsible for the release. The UST Section would appreciate your approval for access to your property to conduct necessary assessment and cleanup activities. Please note that pursuant to 15A NCAC .0106(b), failure to allow the UST Section and/or their contractor to access your property to conduct the necessary assessment and cleanup activities may result in a determination that you are controlling an activity which results in the discharge of waste, and you may potentially be held responsible for assessment and cleanup of the contamination

Please review and sign the access agreement that is included. You will be notified before assessment and/or cleanup activities begin.
