Dear Mr. Basinger,
WQRO')
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, UPE
