or release under 15A NCAC 02L .0406 of this Section. Such report shall include, at a minimum:
(1) a location map, based on a USGS topographic map, showing the radius of 1500 feet from the source area
of a confirmed release or discharge and depicting all water supply wells and, surface waters and designated
wellhead protection areas as defined in 42 U.S.C. 300h-7(e) within the 1500-foot radius. For purposes of
this Section, source area means point of release or discharge from the underground storage tank system;
(2) a determination of whether the source area of the discharge or release is within a designated wellhead
protection area as defined in 42 U.S.C. 300h-7(e);
(3) if the discharge or release is in the Coastal Plain physiographic region as designated on a map entitled
"Geology of North Carolina" published by the Department in 1985, a determination of whether the source
area of the discharge or release is located in an area in which there is recharge to an unconfined or semi -
confined deeper aquifer which is being used or may be used as a source of drinking water;
(4) a determination of whether vapors from the discharge or release pose a threat of explosion due to the
accumulation of vapors in a confined space or pose any other serious threat to public health, public safety
or the environment;
(5) scaled site map(s) showing the location of the following which are on or adjacent to the property where the
source is located: site boundaries, roads, buildings, basements, floor and storm drains, subsurface utilities,
septic tanks and leach fields, underground storage tank systems, monitoring wells, borings and the
sampling points;
(6) the results from a limited site assessment which shall include:
(a) the analytical results from soil samples collected during the construction of a monitoring well
installed in the source area of each confirmed discharge or release from a noncommercial or
commercial underground storage tank and either the analytical results of a groundwater sample
collected from the well or, if free product is present in the well, the amount of free product in the
well. The soil samples shall be collected every five feet in the unsaturated zone unless a water
table is encountered at or greater than a depth of 25 feet from land surface in which case soil
samples shall be collected every 10 feet in the unsaturated zone. The soil samples shall be
collected from suspected worst -case locations exhibiting visible contamination or elevated levels
of volatile organic compounds in the borehole;
(b) if any constituent in the groundwater sample from the source area monitoring well installed in
accordance with Sub -item (a) of this Item, for a site meeting the high risk classification in 15A
NCAC 02L .0406(1), exceeds the standards or interim standards established in 15A. NCAC
02L .0202 by a factor of 10 and is a discharge or release from a commercial underground storage
tank, the analytical results from a groundwater sample collected from each of three additional
monitoring wells or, if free product is present in any of the wells, the amount of free product in
such well. The three additional monitoring wells shall be installed as follows: as best as can be
determined, one upgradient of the source of contamination and two downgradient of the source of
contamination. The monitoring wells installed upgradient and downgradient of the source of
contamination must be located such that groundwater flow direction can be determined; and
(c) potentiometric data from all required wells;
(7) the availability of public water supplies and the identification of properties served by the public water
supplies within 1500 feet of the source area of a confirmed discharge or release;
(8) the land use, including zoning if applicable, within 1500 feet of the source area of a confirmed discharge
or release;
(9) a discussion of site specific conditions or possible actions which could result in lowering the risk
classification assigned to the release. Such discussion shall be based on information known or required to
be obtained under this Paragraph; and
(10) names and current addresses of all owners and operators of the underground storage tank systems for
which a discharge or release is confirmed, the owner(s) of the land upon which such systems are located,
and all potentially affected real property owners. When considering a request from a responsible party for
additional time to submit the report, the Division shall consider the extent to which the request for
additional time is due to factors outside of the control of the responsible party, the previous history of the
person submitting the report in complying with deadlines established under the Commission's rules, the
technical complications associated with assessing the extent of contamination at the site or identifying
potential receptors, and the necessity for immediate action to eliminate an imminent threat to public health
or the environment.
