Dear Mr. Simonsen:

The Division of Waste Management (DWM) Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section received Letter
Report dated July 28, 2020. The report has been reviewed and will be maintained in the Washington
Regional Office. The report indicates continued levels of groundwater contamination. The subject incident
has been determined by the Department, in response to North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-
215.94E(e4), to be of sufficiently high priority to allow funding by the State Trust Fund Program.
Therefore, you are directed to proceed with assessment. Specifically, you are required to:

 Continue to monitor groundwater quality on a nine-month schedule with the next sampling event being
conducted in April 2021.
 Submit a monitoring report to this office within 30 days of receiving the analytical results.
 Perform an updated receptor survey.

Effective October 1, 2004, the Department requires that all work following the submittal of the Limited
Site Assessment Report (Title 15A NCAC 2L .0405) be preapproved if State Trust Fund reimbursement is
anticipated. To comply with this requirement, a completed Preapproval/Claim Authorization Form,
encompassing the required remedial activities, must be received in this office within 14 days of the date of
this letter. Upon completion of the preapproved activities, you should submit your claim promptly.

Reimbursement funds are budgeted based on completed preapprovals, but lengthy delays in reimbursement
can occur if claims are not submitted immediately following work completion.

Because a release or discharge has been confirmed, a Licensed Geologist or a Professional Engineer,
certified by the State of North Carolina, is required to prepare and certify all reports submitted to the
Department in accordance with Title 15A NCAC 2L .0103(e) and 2L .0111(b).

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 143B-279.9 and
143B-279.11).

Failure to comply with the State's rules in the manner and time specified may result in the assessment of
civil penalties and/or the use of other enforcement mechanisms.

If you have any questions regarding the actions or the rules mentioned in this letter, please contact me at
the address or telephone number listed below. If you have any questions regarding trust fund eligibility or
reimbursement, please contact the UST Section Trust Fund Branch at [phone].

Sincerely,

Allison Ward
Hydrogeologist
Washington Regional Office
