RE: Underground Storage Tank (UST) Closure Assessment Report
2136 Bay Street, Charlotte, North Carolina
Cedar Rock Project Number 287822590
Dear Ms. McRae:
Cedar Rock Environmental, P.C. (Cedar Rock) is pleased to submit this report describing activities
and results for the in -place abandonment of the onsite UST located at 2136 Bay Street in Charlotte,
North Carolina. The UST abandonment was performed on March 2, 2020. Included in this report
are project documents consisting of a disposal manifest and photographic documentation. This
report should be kept with other documents pertaining to the residential property.
Soil contamination was detected beneath the UST during a site inspection performed on February
19, 2020. The release was reported to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) using a
UST-61 form on February 21, 2020. Although the State no longer requires further assessment of
the contamination, the State does require the filing of a Notice of Residual Petroleum (NRP) prior
to conveying the property to another party. The NRP includes land use restrictions prohibiting
any disturbance of site soils within a specified radius of the estimated extent of soil contamination
and prohibits the use or installation of any water supply wells on the property. Cedar Rock filed
the NRP on March 2, 2020. The DEQ will issue a Conditional Notice of No Further Action (NFA)
letter within the next few days. Upon receipt of proof that the local officials and adjacent property
owners have been notified of the release by receiving a copy of the Conditional NFA letter, and
that the NRP has been filed, the DEQ will reissue the NFA letter with no conditions to officially
close out the petroleum release incident.
Enclosed is an invoice for this work effort. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact meat 336-376-0394. Thank you for your consideration of Cedar Rock to provide you with
this service.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Payne,"L.G.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Cedar Rock Environmental, P.C. (Cedar Rock) was contacted by Ms. Deborah McRae of
Charlotte, North Carolina to abandon in -place an underground storage tank (UST) located at 2136
Bay Street in Charlotte, North Carolina. The UST was first inspected on February 19, 2020. An
inactive UST was observed to be located parallel to and centered approximately 4.5 feet off the
northwestern foundation wall and about 8.4 feet northeast of the western corner of the original
foundation of the house (not the addition). The fill and vent pipes of the UST were observed to be
intact. The depth to the top of the UST is approximately 26 inches below land surface (bls) on the
northeastern end and about 22 inches bls on the southwestern end. The UST has a length of about
93.5 inches with a diameter of approximately 42.5 inches and a capacity of about 575 gallons. The
UST was measured to contain approximately 471 gallons of fluid. White flagging was used to
mark the ends of the UST. No other USTs on the property were discovered using a metal detector
to survey the outside perimeter of the residence where USTs are usually located. Two copper fuel
delivery/return lines with an inline oil filter were observed extending about 20 feet into the
basement where they were cut and crimped at the former furnace location. No petroleum odors or
stains were observed in the basement.
Once the orientation of the UST was determined, a soil boring was performed at the southwestern
end of the UST using a 3.25-inch diameter stainless steel hand auger. The soil boring was
advanced to a depth of approximately 5.4 feet bls, near the bottom of the UST. The borehole was
not advanced farther as a result of water entering the borehole. A strong petroleum odor and
discoloration was observed in the soils from a depth of approximately 5.0 to 5.4 feet bls suggesting
significant leakage from the UST has occurred. The soils at the base of the boring consist of a
grayish orangish brown micaceous sandy silt.
2.0 PROJECT
The in -place abandonment of the UST was performed on March 2, 2020. The abandonment
consisted of the hand excavation of the soils overlying the northeastern end of the UST to expose
the topside of the tank. A hole approximately 1.5 feet in diameter was then cut on the top of the
UST to allow for removal of the tank contents, cleaning and visual inspection of the UST interior,
and subsequent filling. The tank was pressure washed to remove all residual petroleum sludge.
Residual oil in the fuel lines was also removed by vacuum. The fuel lines were partially removed
from the crawlspace, being cut and crimped where they went below grade. Approximately 491
gallons of fluid and sludge (including rinsate) were removed from the UST. The fluid disposal
manifest for the tank contents is included in Appendix A.
After the interior of the UST was cleaned, the tank was then entirely filled with an excavatable
flowable fill cement slurry. Once filled, the exposed portion of the UST was then covered with
site soils (see Appendix B - Photographic Documentation).

Hi Trudy. No, tank closure has not been done yet. It is scheduled for Monday. Hopefully we don't get rained
out.
