RE: Underground Storage Tank (UST) Closure Assessment Report
706 Pearl Ave, Kannapolis, North Carolina
Cedar Rock Project Number 334822590
Dear Mr. Hemby:
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 706 Pearl Ave in Kannapolis,
North Carolina. The UST abandonment was performed on January 28, 2022. 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 January
5, 2022. The release was reported to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) using a
UST-61 form on January 7, 2022. 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 January 19, 2022. 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,
�Ct

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Cedar Rock Environmental, P.C. (Cedar Rock) was contacted by Mr. Donald Hemby of Fort Mill,
South Carolina to abandon in -place an underground storage tank (UST) located at 706 Pearl Ave
in Kannapolis, North Carolina. The UST was first inspected on January 5, 2022. An inactive UST
was observed to be located as shown in the Site Map. Both the fill and vent pipes of the UST were
observed to be intact, however, the fill pipe had a makeshift cap and the vent pipe was missing its
cap. The depth to the top of the UST is approximately 24 inches below land surface (bls). The
UST has a length of about 92 inches with a diameter of approximately 41 inches and a capacity of
about 560 gallons. The UST was measured to contain approximately 79 gallons of fluid. White
flagging was installed to mark the ends of the UST (see Photo 1). 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 were observed extending about
15 feet into the crawlspace where they were open-ended and disconnected to the inactive furnace.
No petroleum odor or staining was observed in the crawlspace.
Once the orientation of the UST was determined, a soil boring was performed at the northern 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, about the bottom of the UST. A strong petroleum odor
and discoloration was observed in the soils from a depth of approximately 4.5 to 5.4 feet bls
suggesting significant leakage from the UST has occurred. Fluid was observed in the base of the
boring. The soils at the base of the boring consist of a discolored brownish gray micaceous silty
coarse sand.
2.0 PROJECT
The in -place abandonment of the UST was performed on January 28, 2022. The abandonment
consisted of the hand excavation of the soils overlying the southern 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 removed from the
crawlspace. Approximately 61 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
We do not appear to have received the conditional NFA letter for the following two sites. I've attached a copy of the
filed NRPs in case you did not receive them. When available please forward the conditional NFA letters to myself. If
there is anything else you need from us, please let me know.
