Subject: Change to No Further Interest Status Statesville Road II 8718 Statesville Road Charlotte, Mecklenburg County
Brownfields Project No. 27107-23-060 Dear Mr. Samartino: Thank you for your initial interest in the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ) Brownfields Redevelopment Section (BRS) for the above-referenced Brownfields Property. Based on a recent email from Chris Walker of Alexander Ricks PLLC, dated January 29, 2024, we are changing the status of your project. The email states that Industrial Development Partners, LLC is not moving forward with this project and is withdrawing their application. Given this information, BRS has changed the status of the
referenced Brownfields Property from Active Eligible to No Further Interest (NFI). Although its previous brownfields active eligible status did not preclude a DEQ cleanup program from seeking assessment or cleanup from parties responsible for the contamination on the above-referenced property, this change to NFI status also removes you as an applicant PD
from any statutory environmental liability protections offered to a brownfields prospective developer. While this status change to NFI does not automatically make you a responsible party, depending on your status as a responsible party under applicable law, various DEQ programs may or may not seek your cooperation in addressing this site at a future date.
Also, if you are an owner of the site and are aware of contamination that exists on the property, you may have statutory obligations to provide notification of a contaminated site to DEQ’s Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch. For more information about how to accomplish this, you may contact Janet MacDonald at [phone] or view their web site at https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-management/waste-management-permit-
guidance/inactive-hazardous-sites-site-notification-requirements.
