Based on the current guidance to minimize the spread of COVID-19, the Department of Environmental Quality has adjusted
operations to protect the health and safety of the staff and public. Many employees are working remotely or on staggered
shifts.
To accommodate these staffing changes, all DEQ office locations are limiting public access. Offices will be open to the public
from 10am to 2pm each weekday for appointments only and the walk-in purchases of mandatory licenses. Please check with
the appropriate staff before visiting our offices, as we may be able to handle your requests by phone or email.
We appreciate your patience as we continue to serve the public during this challenging time.

Dear Mr. Basinger,
This letter is in response to NOV-2020-PC-0289, outlining the lime slurry chemical spill at the
Hunley Creek Chemical Feed Site at 6752 Stevens Mill Rd, reported to the NCDEQ on
6/2/2020.
This site is regularly checked but had not been visited within the prior two weeks due to the
pump not being operational and heavy rains in the area. Since the time of our notification we
have taken several steps that were recommended by the DEQ inspector who visited the site.
These steps include:
• Remove all contaminated soil
• Install an eye wash station
• Repair the driveway to allow for better access
• Remove the hose that was temporarily run across the ground; feed hose to be installed
in the PVC conduit directly into the manhole on site.
• Improper containment
• Properly label both tanks
The first three bullets have
been completed. The
remaining
actions
are planned to be completed
by the end of the month. If
you have any further
questions,
please
let me know.
Sincerely,
Andrew eff, PE
