Risk-based Assessment and Corrective Action for
Petroleum Underground Storage Tanks

H & D Express 3439 Highway 24, Newport Carteret County Incident Number: 32483 Risk Classification: Low

Dear Mr. Stephenson:
A review of information on file with the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Section, Division of
Waste Management, Wilmington Regional Office indicates that groundwater contamination meets 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 where closed under risk-based cleanup standards.
The UST Section determines the subject incident to be eligible conditionally for no further action
status. However, final approval of no further action status is contingent on receipt of confirmation that
public notice requirements have been completed, as described below.
Be advised that, as contamination may exceed the groundwater quality standards established in
Title 15A NCAC 2L .0202, groundwater within the area where contamination is present or is expected to
migrate is not suitable for use as a water supply, as stipulated in the Notice Residual Petroleum (attached).
As groundwater contamination may exceed the groundwater quality standards established in Title
15A NCAC 2L .0202, public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0409(b) also is required. Within
30 days of receipt of this letter, a copy of this letter must be provided by certified mail (or otherwise be
made available by posting in a prominent place if certified mail is impractical,) to the local health director,
the chief administrative officer of each political jurisdiction in which the contamination occurs, all property
owners and occupants within or contiguous to the area containing contamination, and all property owners
and occupants within or contiguous to the area where the contamination is expected to migrate.
Within 60 days of receiving this letter, this regional office must be provided with documentation
showing that each party included in the listing above either received or affirmatively refused to accept
delivery of the copy of the letter, and/or documentation describing the manner in which the letter was
publicly posted, where applicable. Interested parties may examine information on file for this site by
contacting this regional office and may submit comments about the site to the regional office at the address
or telephone number listed below.
This conditional No Further Action determination will not become valid until public notice
requirements are completed.
