Dear Mr. Desiatnikov:
Thank you for your initial interest in the North Carolina Brownfields Program for the
above -referenced Brownfields Property. Due to the inactivity of this project and our growing need
to address others, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has changed
the status of the referenced Brownfields Property from "Active Eligible" to "No Further Interest"
(NFI). Although its previous Brownfields active eligible status did not preclude a DEQ cleanup
program from seeking assessment or cleanup from parties responsible for the contamination, this
change to NFI status also removes you as an applicant PD from any statutory environmental
liability protections offered to a Brownfields prospective developer. While this status change to
NFI does not make you a responsible party, depending on your status as a responsible party under
the law, such DEQ programs may or may not seek your cooperation in addressing this site.
Also, if you are an owner of the site and are aware of contamination that exists on the
property, you may have statutory obligations to provide notification of a contaminated site to
DEQ's Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch. For more information about how to accomplish this, you
may contact Charlotte Jesneck at [phone] or view their web site at
h!tps:Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/waste-management/waste-mana eg ment-permit-
guidance/inactive-hazardous-sites-site-notification-requirements.
If you feel this information is not complete or accurate, please contact us to discuss further.
This Brownfields Property remains a good candidate for the Brownfields Program. If in the future,
you or some other developer desires to pursue a Brownfields Agreement on this Brownfields
Property, please submit a Brownfields Property Application and signed affidavit. We appreciate
your assistance in this matter.
