Rusty,
Required groundwater analyses for heating oil releases below:
EPA 602 with Xylenes or EPA 6200B,
EPA 625 Base/ Neutrals and Acids plus 10 largest non -target peaks,
MADEP VPH,
and
MADEP EPH
Home heating oil underground storage tanks are not and haven't been regulated in the state of North
Carolina. The UST section only has records of those that have been reported to our agency. These
reports a generally result from notifications of contamination or tank removals at properties where
parties are seeing "no further action" status. Home heating oil tanks are non -regulated, non-
commercial underground storage tanks (USTs) that are exempt from the "technical regulations" (e.g.,
leak detection monitoring, corrosion protection, spill and overfill control) that apply to regulated
USTs. Even though home heating oil tanks are exempt from these technical regulations, sampling and
cleanup regulations may apply if there is a leak or spill from your tank. If there is no evidence of a
release, then there is no need to report to the UST Section. The links below provide additional
information.
If a leak is discovered under the current ownership of the property, the current property owner is
considered the responsible party for clean-up. Many companies do environmental work related to
underground storage tanks. Typically, they can be found in the yellow pages of a telephone book
under "Environmental Consultants." The DWM UST Section provides a list where companies that do
environmental work can provide their information. This list is called the "UST Service Provider Listing"
it is located at http://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-management/ust/service-provider-
listing. When choosing a company, we recommend getting several estimates and references. Site
assessments and cleanup work must be conducted under the responsible charge of a licensed geologist
or professional engineer.
Please note that before you sell, transfer, or request a "No Further Action" determination for a
property that has not been remediated to below "unrestricted use" standards, you must file a Notice
of Residual Petroleum ("Notice") with the Register of Deeds in the county where the property is
located (NCGS 14313-279.9 and 14313-279.11).

Below is some general information about searching for sites and files within the NC DEQ Division of
Waste Management and UST Section:
All branches/groups within the Division of Waste Management (DWM) have individual interactive
Geographic Information System (GIS) maps available to the public. Click on the Interactive Maps link
below. Select the DWM map you are interested in searching for sites from the right side of the
webpage. Use the UST Incidents map to search for UST sites.
INTERACTIVE MAPS WITH DWM SITES AND PERMITTED FACILITIES:
https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-management/waste-management-rules-data/waste-
management-gis-maps
You can enter an address to the map, zoom in on an area, and pan around to see if that group has a
site nearby. When you click on the symbols, site information will be displayed. Scroll down through
the site information. Clicking on the docs link at the bottom will take you to available electronic site
files for viewing and downloading on Laserfiche (pdf format, free to the public).
The Division has a site locator tool that combines the different groups on one map. The combined map
is good for a general locator for UST sites and for a link to available electronic files. The individual
Underground Storage tanks Incidents map and UST Registered Tanks map give more details. See the
following link and information: "The division has created the Division of Waste Management Site
Locator Tool that provides free online access to currently available information about the sites that the
Division of Waste Management manages, permits and inventories. The Tool is a GIS-based application
that consolidates all of the Division's sites into an interactive map. It provides this information in a
simple map format, and has the capability to query, create reports, overlay GIS layers, print maps and
link to site -specific documents. The search window has been programmed, so that people can find sites
by address, name or identification number."
DWM electronic files can also be searched on Laserfiche at the following link:
https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/WasteManagement/Search.aspx?searchcommand=/o7b%SbWM /o5d%3a%5b
Program ID%5d/o3d%22*MO-2911*/o22%7d&dbid=0
Use the UST number for the Program ID when searching for UST files at the DWM Laserfiche link.
Not all UST sites have electronic files. Many files are only available in paper format at the Mooresville
Regional Office (address below). If you would like to view paper files for a site, open file reviews are on
Mondays for the public (no appointment, 8:OOam-4:OOpm). If Mondays do not work with your
schedule, you can make an appointment with the site's project manager to view the file on a different
day.
