Reference: WELL ABANDONMENT CONFIRMATION LETTER REPORT
Jerry’s Place (Incident #9547)
983 US Highway 21
State Road, Surry County, North Carolina
ESP Project No. 23-00200-031

Dear Mr. Petermann:

ESP Associates, Inc. (ESP) is pleased to present this letter report documenting results of the
monitoring well abandonment confirmation at the Jerry’s Place site in accordance with North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Task Authorization No. 1, approved on
October 27, 2023. The subject site is located at 983 US Highway 21 in State Road, North Carolina.

Monitoring Well Abandonment Confirmation

Based on a report provided by previous consultant Terracon Consultants Inc. (Terracon) titled
“Annual Monitoring Report, Jerry’s Place, 983 US Highway 21, State Road, Surry County, North
Carolina” dated September 22, 2023, the site was recommended for closure based on constituent
concentrations below Gross Contamination Levels and results of a biodegradation model. Based
on this recommendation, the release incident was closed with a Notice of No Further Action along
with a Notice of Residual Petroleum on January 3, 2023.

In 2023, Terracon reportedly mobilized to the site along with a North Carolina licensed driller to
abandon all site monitoring wells (i.e., MW-2/RW-2, MW-3/RW-3, MW-4/RW-4, MW-5, RW-5,
MW-6, MW-7, and MW-8) as depicted on Figure 1. As of the time of this report, ESP was unable
to determine when these closure actions took place.

On November 15, 2023, ESP personnel mobilized to the site and were able to visually confirm the
abandonment of all site monitoring wells, except for monitoring well MW-8, which was covered
by a solid waste dumpster. ESP personnel were able to confirm the abandonment of monitoring
well MW-8 with the current property owner, who was on site during the abandonment event.

Photograph documentation of all visually accessible monitoring wells along with field notes are
provided in Appendix A.

Conclusions

Based on our visual observations or property owner confirmation, ESP can confirm that all site
monitoring wells have been abandoned.
