Good afternoon Trudy,
On behalf of the City of Charlotte, Environmental Services Division, we are submitting this paperwork to your office after
last week's removal of this heating oil UST and this week's receipt of soil sample data. A few days ago you emailed with
my colleague David Hanley PE regarding this project, for which I have assumed the lead. Feel free to contact me or
those copied above with any questions. Over -excavation work is scheduled for next week.
Best regards,

Hi Trudy,
Thanks for getting in touch with me. I received your voicemail as well. Regarding the tank being removed this week, we
are going to sample the soil today with expedited turn -around. Once we receive the results, if they indicate that a
release occurred, we will submit a release notification form. If you would like to discuss this proposed approach, please
feel free to give me a call.
Thank you,

Good Morning David,
I handle unregulated usts for Mecklenburg County. Below is some general information about home heating oil usts that
you may find helpful.
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).
Per Session Law SL2015-241 the legislature determined that non-commercial UST rules (15A NCAC 2L .0404
and 0406) be revised to require the UST Section rank non-commercial heating oil releases either high or low as
follows based only on the closure/1AA Report (Notify the RP that no cleanup, no further cleanup, or no further
action shall be required, etc.) in order to minimize the home owner's expenses since the Non -Commercial Trust
Fund was dissolved:
High Risk:
• Water supply well contaminated;
• Water supply well located less than 150 feet from the source area of the release;
• Vapors pose a serious threat of explosion due to accumulation of vapors in a confined space;
• Poses an imminent danger to public health, public safety, or the environment;
Low Risk:
• Not ranked as a high risk.

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 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%5bWM%5d%3a%5bProgra
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).

Dan,
I'm working with the City of Charlotte on removal of a former home heating oil tank (approx. 250 gal) on a property the
City recently acquired. During tank removal yesterday, a small area of soil discoloration was observed (around the size
of a softball). I would like to talk with you regarding reporting requirements for this finding. I can be reached at (269)
377-0666.
Thank you,
David Hanley, PE
