Incident Number: 29681
Risk Classification: Low
Ranking: L-125-D

Dear Ms. Foster:
A review of information on file with the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of Waste
Management, Fayetteville Regional Office indicates that soil and groundwater contamination meet the
cleanup requirements for a low-risk release under Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202 and .0400, but contamination
exceeds the limits allowed for the unrestricted use of a site closed using risk-based cleanup standards.
The UST Section determines that no further action is warranted for this incident. All required actions have
been completed. On 12/13/2022, the UST Section received a certified copy of the Notice of Residual
Petroleum which is filed with the Scotland County Register of Deeds (recorded 12/13/2022, Bk: 1767, Pg:
734-737). On 12/22/2022, the UST Section was provided with proof of receipt of the conditional Notice of
No Further Action letter or of refusal by the addressee to accept delivery of the letter or with a description
of the way the letter was posted.
This determination shall apply unless the UST Section later finds that the discharge or release poses an
unacceptable risk or a potentially unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. Pursuant to Title
15A NCAC 02L .0407(a) you have a continuing obligation to notify the Department of any changes that
might affect the risk or land use classifications that have been assigned.
Be advised that as groundwater contamination exceeds the groundwater quality standards established in
Title 15A NCAC 02L .0202, groundwater within the area of contamination or within the area where
groundwater contamination is expected to migrate is not suitable for use as a water supply. Be advised that
