SECTION I. Risk Classification L
The groundwater within 500 feet of the source area of a confirmed release has the potential for
future use in that there is no source of water supply other than the groundwater;
There exists an imminent danger to public health, public safety or the environment, as a result of
the release.
There exists a serious threat of explosion due to the accumulation of vapors in a confined space, as
a result of the release; or
A low risk classification means that the risk posed by a release does not meet any of the high or
intermediate risk criteria or, based on site-specific information received by the Department, the
release does not pose a significant risk.
NORTH CAROLINA
UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK SECTION
The levels of groundwater contamination for ethylene dibromide or benzene exceed 1,000 times the
federal drinking water standard set out in 40 CFR 141(these levels have also been termed “gross
contamination levels”).
The source area of a confirmed release is located within a designated wellhead protection area, as
defined in 42 USC 300h-7(e);
Note: a new ranking form must be completed whenever site conditions may have changed
SCORE
The levels of groundwater contamination for any contaminant (except ethylene dibromide, benzene
and the aliphatic and aromatic carbon fraction classes) exceed 50 percent of the solubility of the
contaminant at 25 degrees Celsius or 1,000 times the groundwater quality standard or interim
standard established in 15A NCAC 2L .0202, whichever is lower (these levels have been termed
“gross contamination levels”); or
In the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province (as designated on a map entitled Geologic Map of
North Carolina published by the Department in 1985), the source area of a confirmed release is
located where there is recharge to an unconfined or semi-confined deeper aquifer which the
Department determines is being used or may be used as a source of drinking water;
An existing water supply well, including one used for non-drinking purposes, has been
contaminated by the release;
A water supply well used for drinking water is located within 1,000 feet of the source area of a
confirmed release;
RISK, RANK AND ABATEMENT RATING FORM
A water supply well not used for drinking water is located within 250 feet of the source area of a
confirmed release;
Surface water is located within 500 feet of the source area of a confirmed release and the maximum
groundwater contaminant concentration exceeds the applicable surface water quality standard and
criteria found in 15A NCAC 2B .0200 by a factor of 10;

exceeding 15A NCAC 2L groundwater quality standards; award 600 points per well
Impacted Water Supplies
An emergency situation exists whenever the Department determines that the release poses an imminent
danger to public health, public safety, or the environment.
Public or institutional water supply well within 500 ft of plume edge, plume edge is
within radius of influence of public well, or threat currently unknown; award 40 points
per well
Private water supply, including non-drinking well, located within 250 feet of plume
edge, wells threatened or the threat is currently unknown; award 20 points per well
Private well, not used for drinking, containing contamination in detectable
concentrations; award 75 points per well
Public or private drinking water supply contains substances that are below the 15A
NCAC 2L groundwater quality standards; award 100 points per well
Private water supply, not including non-drinking well, located between 501 and 1000
feet of plume edge or wells located within 1000 feet but threat to wells is reasonably
known or alternate water source is available; award 5 points per well
Complete entire form and assign letter E to final rating in Section III, Once Emergency is abated a new rating must be performed
Private domestic drinking water supply well containing substances in concentrations
exceeding 15A NCAC 2L groundwater quality standards; award 200 points per well
Public or institutional water supply well between 500 and 1000 ft of plume edge or
threat is reasonably known; award 10 points per well
Private water supply, not including non-drinking well, located between 251 and 500
feet of the plume edge, wells threatened or the threat is currently unknown; award 10
points per well
Free product or sheen discovered on surface waters as a result of groundwater
discharge; award 5 points
Private non-drinking well, located between 251 and 1000 feet of plume edge; award 2
points per well
