Subject: RE: [External] Single-family residential UST spills Below is some general information about home heating oil tanks. 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).

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 documents 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=/`7b%SbWM/o5d%3a%SbProgra m ID%5d%3d%22*MO-2911*%22%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. ** In office file reviews will be by appointment only after December 19, 2019 ** File Review Procedures: https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-management/ust/file-review-procedures#mooresville-regional- office North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Mooresville Regional Office 610 East Center Avenue, Suite 301 Mooresville, NC 28115 (704) 663-1699 Trudy Trudy Beverly, L.G.

This is Matthew Storosh with Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSWS). I responded to two emergency response calls yesterday concerning USTs at single family residential properties. The addresses are 4043 Arbor Way and 500 McAlway Rd. Both have been discharging for approximately 3-4 days since our major rain event last Thursday. Debruhl Environmental is meeting with the homeowner (Mike Schulte 336-944-4381) at 4043 Arbor Way this morning and pumping down the tank as well as removing it. CERT (an environmental cleanup contractor) will be conducting remediation of the drainage swale that the fuel traveled along before reaching McMullen Creek. I am meeting the cleanup contractors again this morning to give further guidance on the remediation. CERT with be conducting the pumping, removal and site remediation at 500 McAlway Rd which is owned by Gray Dog, LLC. My contact with them is 704-965-3455. His name is Doug Heinger. I am also meeting them onsite this morning to give instruction. The pumping down of both tanks should be completed today and the removal of the one at 4043 should happen today. However, the McAlway site is very muddy and the crew may not be able to access the site with machinery to remove the tank today. Let me know if you have any further requests form the remediation or other actions need to be taken.
